The News Has Been Relentless
1. “The supply chain bottlenecks around the world have caused record shortages of many products that American consumers are used to having readily available. That includes food, household goods, electronics, automobiles—supplies of every kind, including baby formula. Prices are increasing on goods and services, including gas at the pump. Experts have warned that problems will likely get worse before they get better.”
2. I have three questions for you:
a. How many are faithful tithers?
b. How many are generous sowers?
c. How many have a covenant of prosperity with God?
3. Then, you are exempt from:
a. Supply chain disruptions.
b. Severe shortages.
c. Extreme scarcity.
4. We may be in this world, but we are not of it.
a. We are not subject to, nor do we live under the dominion, rule, control, or influence of whichever way the economy is going.
b. We are set apart from the world’s system.
c. We don’t just survive in times like these—we thrive.
5. While praying over the current economic conditions, the Lord spoke a very clear word to my heart for you. He said…
“I WILL TAKE CARE OF MY OWN.”

For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
4. Isaiah 43:1-3 (MSG) “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you.”
5. Psalm 94:14 (GNT) “The Lord will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.”

“THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. HE FEEDS ME. HE GUIDES ME.
HE SHIELDS ME. I SHALL NOT LACK!”
“Something is coming to the economy. Whatever it may be—if a person is operating in kingdom principles, it will be just like they are in the ark at the time of the flood of Noah. The worse conditions got, the higher Noah rose. The worse things get, the higher kingdom people will rise in prominence in the earth.” –Pastor Bill Winston

“GOD IS MY SUPPLY CHAIN. GOD IS MY SOURCE.
GOD IS MY SUPREME PROVIDER.”
My Dear Sons and Daughters,
During these times, I am going to take care of you.
If you will believe Me for the miraculous, I will provide for you what is lacking for others. I will fill your home, your business, your ministry, your wallet, your purse, your bank account, your car and everything else that needs to be filled.
I am “The Filler.” I have a never-ending supply that will never dry up. I am not impoverished, nor do I have just a limited supply. Supplies are not limited in My Kingdom. I have it all and want to get it to you. I have more than enough.
I will locate it in the earth and will get it to you. Don’t accept it when they say, “I’m sorry, We are out of what you need,” No! Just use your faith and align your mouth with My Word and My ability to do for you what is needed in this natural time of lack.
I will take care of you.
Don’t worry when costs rise. I will make sure you have more than enough to pay for whatever you need. I am your “Supernatural Supply Chain.” I am the God written about in Isaiah 45:3. “I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, Who calls you by your name” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
I will give you concealed treasures. I will reveal to you My hidden stockpiles. I will take care of anyone and everyone who calls upon My Name and exercises their faith for the impossible. My people do not lack in times of shortage. Just look at Isaac. He reaped a 100-fold in a time of famine (Genesis 26).
Yes, I will supply your every need. But you know Me. I will give you more than you need. I will give you exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ever ask, think, or dream. I will give you so much so that you will have plenty left over to help others.
I take care of My own. You are Mine. And I am yours.
Your Loving Father
