Starting point is 00:00:00 The following program is made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, visit nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. I have a question for you. How will you believe God someday for miracle food if you can't believe Him today for miracle money? It's a legitimate question. You already know that the world is headed for serious trouble. Otherwise, you wouldn't be watching true news.
Starting point is 00:00:55 You'd be like everybody else with your head stuck in the sand, pretending not to see the obvious things happening around us. Because you watch True News, you already know that World War III has started, and there's a serious possibility that nuclear weapons could be used in coming months if the war is not resolved. Because you watch True News,
Starting point is 00:01:21 you know that a population reduction scheme was launched with the fake COVID-19 vaccines. Because you watch True News, you know that the COVID lockdowns were an exercise to condition the public to accept home detention, martial law, the surrender of constitutional liberties, and the introduction of a global police state. Because you watch true news, you know that the Great Reset is a brazen attempt by globalists to redesign human civilization. Because you watch true news, you know a lot more than the average person. You are better informed than most members of the U.S. Congress
Starting point is 00:02:06 and most members of parliaments around the world. My job is not to convince you that these things are true. You already know it. My challenge is to build your faith in God, to live victoriously in a world that is increasingly becoming more dangerous and unstable. Two weeks ago, I challenged our TV audience to boldly ask God for miracle money. So what is miracle money? It is money that arrives suddenly and unexpectedly that you did not expect to receive from a source that you did not expect to provide it. Miracle money arrives in a variety of ways. Sometimes people find money on a sidewalk
Starting point is 00:02:54 or in the grass next to shrubbery or in a public park or along a road or street. Sometimes people find miracle money and they're at it. Miracle Money is when a company's auditors discover a mistake in their billing five years ago and they send you a refund. Miracle Money is when a friend or relative repays a personal loan you gave them 10 years ago and you forgot about it or wrote it off as lost. When your employer gives you a surprise pay bonus, that's miracle money. Miracle money is when a stranger in a grocery store says he or she is supposed to pay for your groceries. That's miracle money. It's when the restaurant owner tells you that the meal is on the house. You just got miracle money. Well, has a stranger ever paid for your restaurant meal? It has happened to me. One time, I invited a
Starting point is 00:03:57 large group of pastors from poor churches on a Caribbean island to attend a luncheon with me on that island. The bill was over $1,500. When I asked the waitress for the check, she whispered into my ear, your bill has been paid. I discreetly asked her who paid for the luncheon. She pointed to the man seated at the table behind me. I discreetly turned to look, and I recognized his face. I had never met the man, but I knew that he was one of the richest people in the Caribbean. He paid for our lunch. I have personally also paid for meals for people that I don't know. Usually the people I bless in restaurants are law enforcement officers. That's miracle money for them.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Well, Doc and I have some true testimonies from members of the True News audience who have already received their miracle money. These reports have come to us in the past 24 hours, and there are many, many more. We just want to share a handful of these stories with you. Doc, what's first? Well, let's start off here, and if controlled, let's just go with the first one here.
Starting point is 00:05:16 This is from Bruce. I kind of half-heartedly took the challenge of asking the Lord for some form of miracle money. Within a couple days, a check for $139 was in my mailbox. It was a refund from insurance I had forgotten about. I don't like to make a promise to the Lord without fulfilling that promise. So I've sent a check for $70 that you should soon be getting. Thank you for all you do to keep all of us up to date with the information that you provide every day. And that's from Bruce. Thank you, Bruce. Congratulations on the Miracle Money. Here's from, is it Kendi? I think it's Kendi, and I hope we get that name right. And so last week, Rick gave the
Starting point is 00:05:54 Miracle Money Challenge. A few months back when praying with my mom, she prayed for Miracle Money. I thought it was a gimmick from the Word of Faith Church. She's in. So needless to say, when I heard the challenge, I was skeptical. I decided to ask the Lord as Rick suggested. Due to some unplanned expenses with my car this weekend, I had to use half of my mortgage payment to fix my car. On Monday, during the day, Rick and Doc mentioned Miracle Money again, but I was still skeptical. While getting ready for work on Tuesday morning, the Lord brought the Miracle Money challenge back to my mind. Since I'm in need of money for my mortgage payment, I prayed. I said, Lord, I don't know if this miracle money thing is even biblical, but please help me to pay my mortgage this month. I'll give 50% of it to Rick to support the bold sharing of the gospel and Rick's
Starting point is 00:06:39 service as an end-time watchman. He is doing something that me and many others don't have the boldness to do. Thank you, Lord. Goes on to say, do you know what happened on Tuesday evening? I checked my mailbox and saw a check from the State Treasury Department. To the best of my knowledge, I wasn't expecting any tax refund,
Starting point is 00:06:57 but when I opened it, I saw a check in my name for $7,777. Like those sevens. Yes. I started to laugh and praise the Lord all at the same time. I quickly showed the check to my 16-year-old son who chuckled and said, Mom, it's the miracle money you prayed for this morning. He knew it right away.
Starting point is 00:07:18 We were both skeptical of the miracle money, but now we truly do know the Lord responds to our faith, especially in a time of need. I put the check in the bank today. I'll be sending $38,88,50 to Rick tomorrow as soon as it clears. Thank you, Rick and Doc, for helping us to build our faith. Absolutely nothing is impossible for the Lord. That's just a couple right there. Let's look at one more here. This is from Pam. Pam said, I was listening to yesterday's program earlier today and wanted to take a moment and share a personal testimony about how true and faithful God is and how He blesses givers of heart.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm not sure of the money vow that Rick was referencing. I've been away on vacation and must have missed that particular program. However, a few weeks ago as I was listening to the show, Rick mentioned the need for funds at the end. It wasn't a lot, but I faithfully and without hesitation felt God nudging my heart to write a check and mail it to you guys for $500. I placed the check in the mailbox right away. Within one week after mailing that check, I began receiving a series of cashier's checks each day in the mail from Wells Fargo Bank for various different amounts, but all total over the time of five to eight days. I had just received over $400, and get this, each check came
Starting point is 00:08:34 with a letter stating that there were funds identified as money owed to me on old accounts dating over five years, and the bank stated on each, we added an amount to the amount owed for the time these funds were unavailable. The bank was giving her extra money. Now, I've always been told that you cannot out-give God, and extra funds have not been something we've had much of with raising six children, all in private school, Christian school, but when I gave extra to you guys
Starting point is 00:09:01 in obedience to the Spirit, prompted me to do so, and then forgot about it, God reminded me just how amazing and faithful He is. Just wanted to share and to give God all the praise that He deserves. I just want to shout glory to His name. Praise God. Yeah. I love these stories, and we have a lot more.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Yeah. Can I share one more? Yeah. So my office is right next to the administration office and everything, and we've talked about Jody before on the program. Some of you have talked to her. She received a call from a lady. This was yesterday morning.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And she said, I called my bank because I wanted to get in on the miracle money, but I didn't know where it was coming. But the Lord told me to call the bank to see if there was any money there. So she called the bank, and she talked to the banker there, asked, you know, do I have any money in this particular account? And the banker said, no, you don't have any money in there in that particular account. And so she goes, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:00 So she hung up, but then she was prompted by the Lord a second time. And so she called the bank again. This was just a few minutes later. And asked the same question. I know this is going to sound crazy, but are you sure there's no money in that account? And within just a few minutes time, suddenly there was money in the account, and so that was her miracle money that was showing up for her.
Starting point is 00:10:31 But those are the kinds of stories. And she has no idea where it came from. No, but my belief is there's money everywhere. There's money in shrubs and trees under the rocks. There's money everywhere. You've just got to find it. You've got to start looking for it. You've got to have, listen, when it comes to miracle money, you've got to enter into an expectation that it's going to show up. If you aren't looking for it,
Starting point is 00:10:55 you're not expecting it. You know, if you had a long lost relative you hadn't seen for many years and they said, we're coming, we're going to visit you. And so the time is getting closer. The day of their arrival is at hand. They said they're going to be there at two, one o'clock, 145. You're out looking at the window just in case they're arriving early. Why? Because you have an expectation of the arrival. And that's what faith is. Faith is an expectation of the arrival of the promise. Yes. And if you're not looking for it. Something that you have not physically seen yet, but you know exists.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yes. Faith is the substance. The assurance, as you said. Or faith is the handwritten check, if you will, of the promise yet to be delivered. So just like a check isn't, if you have a check for $500, you don't have a stack of five $100 bills there. The check is the promise of that. That's right. There are
Starting point is 00:11:53 three principles of faith that each of us should keep in our minds, and they're easy to remember. The first one is that Almighty God is your source for everything that you need. That's your first faith principle. Almighty God is your source of everything you need. It's not just money. It is everything. Salvation, health, happiness, peace, everything you need. Almighty God is your source. Faith principle number two is give that it may be given unto you. That's the economy of heaven. It is based on giving. The economy of the world is based on getting.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yes. But heaven's economy is based on giving. Give that it may be given unto you. And then faith principle number three is what Doc just said. Expect a miracle. God is not going to send a miracle to a person who doesn't expect it. He doesn't waste his miracles.
Starting point is 00:12:57 He's not in the business of entertaining you, impressing you. He doesn't waste his miracles. If you don't expect a miracle, you're not going to get one. It's just that simple. And so the people that are getting miracle money, they expect it. They are excited. They're looking for it. They're waiting for it. They're anticipating it and it's arriving. Those of you who have not received miracle money, most likely, number one, you haven't asked.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And number two, you really don't believe it's going to happen. You don't expect it. You don't expect it. Okay. Now, if you have asked and you do expect it, then just wait and be excited. We gave a deadline, August 31st. That's a long way off. All right. We gave a deadline, August 31st. That's a long way off. So just expect God to do it and be looking and have that sense of it's childlike faith. Yes, like a child.
Starting point is 00:13:56 You can't enter the kingdom unless you believe like a child, innocent childlike faith that your father is going to give you something. And just thank him for it, expect it, and watch what happens. My question today is how will you believe God for miracle food? Because right now, all I'm asking you to do is believe God for miracle money. But someday you're going to have to believe God for miracle food. Well, the miracle money is the easy part. Believing God for miracle food, that's going to take a little bit stronger faith. You're going to have to be practiced. You're going to have to be
Starting point is 00:14:40 experienced at believing God, expecting God to do things. And that's what we want to talk about here today. We're going to focus our study on a story in 2 Kings chapter 4. And this is one of my favorite Bible chapters. And it is the widow woman who needed a financial miracle and she needed it like today. She had to have it. She was in a big big mess. And I want Doc to read the scripture from 2 Kings chapter 4.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Yes. So now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knows that thy servant did fear the Lord. And the creditor has come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil. Then Elisha said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels, borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt
Starting point is 00:16:01 shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out unto all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him. She shut the door upon her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her, and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet another vessel.
Starting point is 00:16:23 And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, Go sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. It's a great story. It's true. And it's true for us today. Now, this woman was the wife of a God-fearing man. And the Jewish historian Josephus identifies her husband as Obadiah.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And goes on to say that the reason that he was in debt was that he was personally paying for the care of prophets who were hiding in a cave. Right. Now that's from Josephus. That's not in the scriptures, but he had access to information and historical records that we don't have to this day. That's right. So let's assume that it was Obadiah and that he was feeding and caring for a group of prophets who were hiding from the government in a cave.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And most likely the reason that Obadiah, or whoever this man was, he was a God-fearing man, he wasn't a wasteful man. He wasn't going down to the casino. He wasn't taking out a loan to go play the slots or blackjack. He wasn't going down to the horse races. He was taking care of God's profits. And most likely what he did is that he would get a bridge loan.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Right. That he would go to a wealthy person and say, hey, I need a short-term loan. I'll have it paid back in 30 days, 60 days, whatever. And most likely he had been doing this on a regular basis and was able to take care of those debts. I mean, you know, personally here from time to time, sometimes here with this ministry, if we're in a season of activity and our expenses shoot up, I may put expenses of this ministry on my personal credit cards. And I've had probably as high as $150,000 charged to my credit cards for this ministry, knowing they're going to be paid off. I have faith these bills would be paid. But if I unexpectedly died, my wife Susan would have these credit card bills that she would have to pay. Now, I've taken care of that matter.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I have life insurance policy on myself, and the church has a key man life insurance policy on me. So if I suddenly died, the church would be the beneficiary, so there would be funds that would come in to cover expenses of this church, same way with Susan. But they didn't have life insurance policies back then. So this guy, whether it was Obadiah or somebody else, Doc, he wasn't expecting to die that day. He thought he'd have that loan paid off like he had paid off other loans.
Starting point is 00:19:39 He just wasn't expecting to die that day. But he got caught by surprise and he died, and his wife was left with a debt. Well, the lender wasn't a nice guy. He wasn't a God-fearing man, the lender, because he was on his way over to collect the money or... Collect the kids. Take the kids.
Starting point is 00:20:04 He was going to repo her children, her sons, and make them slaves. Because that's the way things were done back then. So, she's in a mess of trouble. And she's crying out. She needs a miracle.
Starting point is 00:20:21 The guy is going to come over, the lender is going to come over. He's on his way. Yes, yes it said he's on his way imagine you're you're like there's somebody coming to take your children from you if you don't come up with some money and you don't have any money you think of the fear the panic but she cried out to a man of god right that's the important. She didn't lose her mind. She didn't pop pills and try to commit suicide. She didn't, she didn't call, um, you know, a, a helpline. She called the man of God and she said, I need a miracle. So what, what was Elijah's response? Well, he asked her two
Starting point is 00:21:03 questions, uh, and she only answered one of them,, he asked her two questions, and she only answered one of them, but he asked her two questions. He said, first of all, what do you want me to do for you? And then, what do you have? Those are the two basic questions. She answered the question, what do I have? I think by answering that question,
Starting point is 00:21:21 she actually answered both, because all she had was just a little oil. That was it. So she had a need. So why did Elijah ask this? Well, he knew already what she needed. He knew. Why did he ask her?
Starting point is 00:21:37 I mean, was it like, he didn't know that the bill collector was coming to confiscate the kids. He already knew this. Right. Why would he ask her? It's like Jesus asking a blind man, what do you want? You want an ice cream cone?
Starting point is 00:21:58 I want eyes. Why would he ask the person to speak the obvious? Because, Rick, by speaking that out, we recognize our total helplessness in resolving the situation ourself. We have to cry out to God. Yes. But we also clarify our need. Yes. We define the need.
Starting point is 00:22:22 We define the need and we release it out of our mouth. Right. I need such and such. Now it's not just a thought. It's I need this. Many times, we think that we're praying to God, but we've never asked Him
Starting point is 00:22:39 for something specific. Yes. Don't just ask God to bless you or bless somebody. When you pray for someone, if you say, hey Lord, bless so and so. No. Tell the Lord, this is what my children need.
Starting point is 00:22:57 This is what my brother or my sister-in-law needs. This is what my friend down the road needs. This is what I'm asking you to do for that person. Be very specific. The Lord wants us to specify the things that we are asking Him to do. Just big, general, roundabout statements of, oh God, be good to us, bless us. That's not enough. It's interesting in the New Testament,
Starting point is 00:23:25 it says the Lord, the Father knows what you have need of, okay, but it didn't stop there. It says the Father knows what you have need of before you ask Him. So there's still the expectation of you asking. You know, it's when you were a kid, Rick, and you wanted something or you needed something from your parents, usually they knew before you asked, right?
Starting point is 00:23:48 So if you wanted some money to go to the fair or something like that, they already knew in advance what you, hey, I need to ask you a question. Mom or dad, they have that expectation. Why? They get joy in being asked, don't they? As a parent, and for those that are parents out there, don't you get a joy, a leap of joy in your heart
Starting point is 00:24:10 when your child comes to you and asks you for something and you can provide it? And if the next day they say, you didn't ask, you didn't go to the fair, and your parents say, why didn't you go to the fair last night? I didn't have the money. Why didn't you ask me the fair last night? I didn't have the money. Why didn't you ask me? I don't know. Isn't that what we do with God?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Yes, that's what we do with God. He's waiting. Ask, ask, and He will give. People are afraid to ask, Rick. I know. I know. Why haven't you asked God for miracle money? And sometimes you need to have a man of God come into your life and ask you the question first so you can spell out that need. Jesus did that. We're seeing this example with Elisha here, talking to the widow woman.
Starting point is 00:24:56 What do you have need of? Think about it. What do you got? So she says, or he says, tell me, what do you have in the house? In other words, what do you have that I can work with? What do you have that you can give? What do you have that God can multiply? The Lord doesn't multiply air.
Starting point is 00:25:22 He multiplies substance. And we have to present to him something to multiply. Yes. You see examples of that in the feeding of the 5,000 and the feeding of 4,000 too. Rick, I believe God could have fed all of the people
Starting point is 00:25:39 without the loaves and fishes. He absolutely could have, right? So why did he need the loaves and fishes. He absolutely could have, right? So why did he need the loaves and fishes? Because he had to have something to work with. It's the principle he was teaching them. Yes. That the laws of multiplication require something to be multiplied.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Zero times zero is how much? Zero. That's the way it works. And he came up with the laws of multiplication, Doc. He's the original mathematician. You have to have something to multiply. So in this case he says, what do you have in the house? She says, your servant has nothing in the house
Starting point is 00:26:18 except a jar of oil. She was so poor that the only thing she had of any value was a jar of oil. Basically, olive oil. That's it. She's looking around going, I don't have anything. This is it. I got a jar of oil. Plus, doesn't seem to be much to work with, does it? Many times in our situation when we think that we're broke, we think that we're in a hopeless situation, we're in a bind and there's nothing to work with, God is saying, what do you have? Point to something. Let's work with something that you have. And I'll move through that one thing that you have,
Starting point is 00:27:06 and I'll bring about a miracle. And some of you right now are getting a divine revelation of this. You're in a situation, you need a miracle. You need an abundant supply, and the Lord is sparking an inspiration in your mind right now of what you have to work with, and your blessing, the very thing that you need will come through that thing you have so she says i got a i got a
Starting point is 00:27:34 jar of oil now the next instruction doc is go ask for vessels, empty containers. Right, from your neighbors. Jars, buckets, whatever. Just go get something from your neighbors that you can put oil in it. And he also said, you know, just don't get a couple. Borrow not a few. In other words, get as many as you can get. Yes, that's the important thing.
Starting point is 00:28:01 That's what I wanted us to see. The man of God said, not only do I want you to go borrow vessels, empty containers, jars, buckets. That have nothing in them. Yes, empty, empty. Don't get a couple. Bring back to your house as many as you can carry.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Make as many trips as you have to make. Doc, I think, we don't know, but I think she and her sons went door to door in that town. I believe they went out into the countryside. We don't know how long she was gathering jars. The Bible doesn't tell us.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It doesn't tell us. It doesn't tell us. But she went far and wide. She scoured the neighborhood. She went to everybody, neighbors that she knew and people she didn't know. Right. And knocked on the door and said,
Starting point is 00:28:58 I got a man of God down in my house right now and he told me to borrow jars. Jars, bucket pans. You got any jars here that I can have? Sure, yeah, here, take this. And so she's carrying these empty jars and buckets and containers back to her house, and she's, for all we know, Doc, she had the whole house inside and outside covered with jars. She may have had them ringed around the outside of the house. We don't know. Because he said, don't limit yourself. Don't get just a few. Get all that you can get. Now, why? What happens next? Well, it goes on to say, go borrow these vessels abroad of all
Starting point is 00:29:36 thy neighbors, even empty vessels. Borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. Okay, let's stop right there. So he gives her instruction, go, bring the vessels, go into your house and shut the door. Take your sons in and shut the door. Take your sons in and shut the door. Why did he tell her to go inside and go behind closed doors and basically don't invite anybody in? Well, it could be because
Starting point is 00:30:17 if she did it publicly and everything, there might be people that would come by and sow seeds of doubt into her. Say, what are you doing, lady? What's this craziness you're up to pouring? This preacher shows up and tells you to go get all these buckets? This is crazy. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Right. And there's sometimes where you have to restrict yourself from the doubters in your life, fence yourself off, build a wall around from the doubters in your life, and just close yourself off. This is a promise between you and God. FINCH YOURSELF OFF, BUILD A WALL AROUND FROM THE DOUBTERS IN YOUR LIFE, AND JUST CLOSE YOURSELF OFF. THIS IS A PROMISE BETWEEN YOU AND GOD. THERE'D ALSO BE THE RUBBERNICKERS. YES, JUST DRIVING BY.
Starting point is 00:30:53 THEY JUST WANT TO SEE, JUST FOR THE FUTURE, THEY WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED. THEY WANT TO SEE SOMETHING. THEY WANT TO SEE THE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE MIRACLE, SO, BUT NOT BELIEVE THE GOD WHO SINS THE MIRACLE. the entertainment of the miracle, but not believe the God who sends the miracle. So Elijah tells her, shut the door. You don't need any of those people in here. Right. And we don't need anything that interrupts the flow of the Holy Spirit in your house.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And I like it that the prophet told her to lock herself in with her kids too. Yes. Didn't tell her to just do it, but her and the boys. Because it's important that your whole family is involved with this. This isn't a standalone. Now realize that sometimes we're in difficult situations
Starting point is 00:31:36 where we have a spouse that has unbelief and doubt in their life. But do your best to get the whole family involved in this walk of faith. Kids need to see you walking in faith. They need to see Mama pouring the oil into another pot. Boys, come over here. Frank, Lloyd, get over here.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I don't know if they were Frank and Lloyd or not, but I like the names. Hey, get another. Hey, Frankie, get another bucket over here, okay? And pour it in there. That's a good point. Think about long after Mama died. Yeah, they were living on that oil. Yes, and long after she died and they became old men.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yes. They were still telling the story. Yes, to their grandkids. You guys think you got it? I remember when I was a boy, this happened. Your great-grandma was pouring oil in the bucket. We don't know how long it took either, do we? It might have been days, might have been weeks.
Starting point is 00:32:29 That testimony went on and on for generations. Right. So I said something a moment ago. I said, you know, shut the door. Don't let anything interrupt the flow of the Holy Spirit. And when I said it, I felt like there's some people watching me right now. You need to remove from your house the things that are interrupting the flow of the Holy Spirit in your house. There are things, whatever, I'm not even gonna venture to
Starting point is 00:33:06 say what it is I think the Holy Spirit has already told you things that are interrupting the flow of the Spirit in your home the peace the joy the happiness the communion with the Lord they They're just things, noises, various things that are interrupting the flow of the Holy Spirit in your home. So they go inside. They shut the doors. He says, pour the oil in one pot. You've got one pot of oil, okay, like my coffee cup. Pour that oil into this first empty bucket. Right. Fill it full.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Now, for all we know, the first empty bucket was bigger than the pot of oil. That's right. And that's what faith is, Rick. So she starts pouring, and the bucket fills up. And Elijah told her, when it's full, set it aside. And get another bucket. So there was order. There was organization.
Starting point is 00:34:13 There wasn't any chaos, confusion. Fill it up, set it aside. Get another empty bucket, fill it up, set it aside. And so the sons, I believe one son was probably carrying empty buckets. The other son was carrying full buckets and mama was pouring. And this process continued uninterrupted
Starting point is 00:34:36 because they didn't allow any negative thinkers to come in, trash talkers. And they didn't allow the noise of the world to come in. They were inside with the Holy Spirit and the oil is flowing and the pots are filling up and it's still the same one pot of oil
Starting point is 00:34:53 that she started with. And yet every pot is full. So where does it go from there? Well, it says that it came to pass that when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, I don't know if it was Frankie or Lloyd, whichever one,
Starting point is 00:35:09 bring me yet a vessel. Bring me another pot. And he said unto her, there is not another vessel more. And the oil stopped. Now there's a faith principle there. Faith fills the space available made for it. Faith fills the space available made for it.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Okay, so if she had gathered 10 fewer vessels, jars, the oil would have stopped. Would have stopped there. If she had borrowed 10 more. The oil would have continued until it was filled. So the miracle continues as long as there is expectation for it to continue. So this goes back to the miracle money.
Starting point is 00:36:00 This goes back to the miracle money. Expect a miracle. You have to expect a miracle. Get ready for it. First, you ask God, what do you want? God's asking you, what do you want? I need money to pay my bills. I have to pay my mortgage. I have to pay my car payment. I got to pay my auto insurance. I have a hospital bill I got to pay. The kids need shoes. Tell the Lord what you want. Expect.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah, and then tell Him what you got. This is where I'm at, Lord. This is my lack. This is where I lack right now. This is my need. This is my lack. But it where I lack right now yes this is my need this is my lack but it's a great principle of faith and in working with the Holy Spirit he works in your lack he works in the midst of your lack that in verse 7 there is so exciting because it says and she came and told the man of
Starting point is 00:36:59 God this after they'd filled up every pot they had available. And he said, go sell the oil and pay thy debt, pay off the kids' repo money, and live thou and thy children of the rest. And so not only did the widow woman continue to live all her life on that oil, but her children lived on that oil to the rest of their lives so it went a whole nother generation and I believe the reason why the children were blessed like that is because they were there and they saw the miracle they were involved in the in that operation of faith there Rick now that oil there represents a lifetime of faith two generations of faith that lived this out.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And that's really the principle that we're trying to get across to you today. Is that it's not about the money. It's not even about the oil. It's about operating in the atmosphere of faith. That expectation that it doesn't matter if we live in prosperity or if we live in famine. That the Lord is the provider in the midst of it. We don't know. It's possible her sons just kept the process going for years. Right. And just knew, hey, just go get some empty vessels. This is miracle oil. Just pour it into another empty vessel. Right. Yeah, we don't know. You know, another principle here, Doc, another point.
Starting point is 00:38:29 She had to ask her neighbors to help her in this miracle. Yes. Her friends, her neighbors had to participate. She had to go to them and say, I need a miracle. I need you to help me. And so the whole community was involved in the miracle. And when you get right down to it, think of the people that did give the pot. Well, at some point, she had to give the pot back, right? Give the buckets back, if you will. And I like what you, I heard your illustration the other day that, hey, I want to give you your pot back, but it's full of oil.
Starting point is 00:39:08 I have to charge you. I have to charge you. I came to give you the pot back, but I don't want to empty the oil out. So do you need oil? Yeah. So she sold. She returned the pot, but she charged for the oil. And she lived off of it.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That's right. And her children. And her kids. That's what is really exciting about operating in this principle of faith. And so when we're talking about miracle money, what we're asking you to do is to take that step into faith. And
Starting point is 00:39:37 to, if you can't believe God for something that He gives in excess now, what are you going to do when you have a real genuine need in your life later on? Because all we're asking you to do to participate in this walk of faith, this act of faith, is to ask God to give you something you don't already have. To ask God to give you something you don't already have that you can bless yourself and someone else with. Because there's going to
Starting point is 00:40:05 come a day where there might not be any groceries in the house. How are you going to believe God for groceries in your cabinet if you can't believe in excess right now? That's right. So, Doc, there are some folks watching us right now. There's different groups, different categories of people. Some are excited. I'm in that category. Because you've received miracle money twice in one day. Yes. And we were witnesses to it.
Starting point is 00:40:37 We know that it happened. He got a refund on a real estate transaction from 2016. Yes. How do you explain that? This is the year 2022. Right. And the title company found a mistake from a real estate transaction Doc did in 2016. Yes. On the same day he asked for miracle money. And they very well could have kept that money. I never would have known about it. I would have had no, I certainly wouldn't have gone looking for it. I never would have found it. But they contacted you and they sent you a check. And then the other
Starting point is 00:41:09 one was I got a rebate on my insurance, house insurance from two years ago. Once again, I wasn't expecting it. You certainly wasn't looking for it, but it showed up. And so anything that works this good, this fast,
Starting point is 00:41:25 I'm in. I'm in all the way. That's right. But I was in already because it's happened before. I'm in that group. Yeah, so we got people who are expecting it. Some have already received it. Others are waiting on it.
Starting point is 00:41:37 They're fully expecting. We have others who are like a little skeptical. You know, I want to believe it, but I'm not so sure about this. We have some testimonies from people who've said, I was kind of skeptical, but God still gave them the miracle money. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Because it's not about the money. It's about the faith in God. That's what he's trying to do is to build your faith in him, your trust in him. So that second group. And God wants you to be honest about this it's okay to say lord lord i don't know if i believe this but rick believes it
Starting point is 00:42:12 i don't know if i believe but the man of god believes it well look at look at uh eric our our social media director he he said uh lord i i don't have faith like Rick, but I want it. Right. But just so I know that it's miracle money. I just don't want to find money under the sofa. I want to find, what I want is I want money directly sent to me, and it has to be at least $1,000. Then I'll know it's miracle money. And his mom sent $1,000 to him because she was talking to the Social Security office about her future retirement.
Starting point is 00:42:54 She mentioned that she had been receiving a very small Social Security check from her deceased husband, who was Eric's father, who died in 1993. Right. And the Social Security worker looked into it, discovered that she had been paid the wrong amount, and they deposited into her bank account
Starting point is 00:43:16 thousands of dollars at one time to make up for it. All this happened after Eric said, I want to believe, I won my faith to be strong but I needed to be sent to me in a thousand hours and his mother transferred a thousand dollars over to him never told him was gonna happen right never told him what was happening with Social Security right that's God working I was teasing Eric too I said you know you should have asked for five well see another another vessel but he but he's learning the principle yes he's learning the principle now the third group of people are the are the mockers and the scoffers and the haters
Starting point is 00:43:57 yeah yeah this isn't real and you know i don't believe this stuff. But I'm not going to try to persuade them. The group in the middle, that's moderately skeptical, but would like to believe. What you have to decide is, first of all, tell me this. This story in 2 Kings chapter 4 about Elijah and the widow. Did it happen or not?
Starting point is 00:44:29 Yes or no? That's the first question that we have to settle. Did this story happen? Is it a real true story or is it a fable? You have to decide that one first. Because if you believe the Bible is full of fables, they're just nice stories that you read to children at bedtime. Is that all it is? Yes, fairy tales. Fairy tales, all right. Is that what it is? It's just a good book with good stories in it. Or is this the Word of God about real things that God did? So if you say, no, I believe it.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I believe that really happened. Well, if you believe it happened, then you believe that God is able to do these things. So has he changed? Has he gotten old since this widow? I mean, that happened thousands of years ago. Has God gotten old? Like he's, does he have a cane now? Is he in retirement, in a retirement home somewhere?
Starting point is 00:45:29 Is his supernatural power starting to fade? His eyesight's getting dim. He's kind of got a shuffle. And has God aged since Elijah? Or do you believe God shut off his power at a certain time in the past? Because there are people who believe that too. They believe that God's power petered out when Peter petered out.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah, right. So I don't believe that at all. I believe he's the same. He's the same. Yesterday, today, and forever. How could he change? He's God. So if he is the same today as he was in the days of Elijah, then why can't you ask him for miracle money?
Starting point is 00:46:11 That's a valid question. A lot of you are holding back from even asking because you're I think you're afraid he's going to do it. Better say that again, Rick. I think some of you are holding back from verbally asking God for miracle money because you are afraid he's going to do it. What do you mean by that? That they're afraid that he will actually come through for them? Because they're going to come face to face with the living God who's actually active in their life.
Starting point is 00:46:46 And if he heard them ask for miracle money and the miracle money shows up, he's also listening to everything that they say. He's watching everything that they do. He knows all their thoughts. And that's too much God. Too much God. Too much God. They need a God that's way, way, way, way up there. Kind of
Starting point is 00:47:07 minds his own business. Minds his own business. Helps out every once in a while. I'll see him later when I die. But don't get involved. Don't be getting my stuff right now. Well, he is in your stuff right now. He wants to be in your stuff. And he knows your stuff right now. He wants to be your dad. Okay, this is the thing I want to get across to you. The creator of the universe desires to be your dad. That's what he longs for. He wants to be your dad.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Honestly, he wants you to talk to him as your dad. Call him dad, call him papa, whatever name you want to give him. Just refer to him as your father, your dad, and lean on him as a dad. A lot of you didn't have a father. Maybe your father died early in life, like Eric. his father died when he was like 10 years old we have other employees here who lost their dads early in life maybe your dad left because of divorce maybe your dad was there but he was disconnected, just never really connected with you as a person.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Whatever it is. Some of you had great, loving dads, and that's wonderful. But you need to know that a lot of people don't have that. So talk to God as your father, as your dad. And some of you are hurting so much for a lack of a father, lack of a dad. You're hurting and you don't even want to recognize, you don't even verbalize the pain, the loneliness that you felt for many, many years that you didn't have a kind-hearted, tender-hearted, loving father in your life. And it's been deep in your heart, the pain, the loneliness,
Starting point is 00:49:16 and you don't even want to verbalize it to yourself because it's so scary, it's so troubling. Why don't you just let that come to the surface and let that pain be released and say, I have a father. I have a father. Jesus identified God as our father. The first time, the Jewish people heard it, it was such a revolutionary idea.
Starting point is 00:49:44 God's our Father. And we're told that we are to approach Him crying Abba. Abba is Aramaic for Daddy. It's literally what it means. Daddy. Abba. We are to approach His throne crying Daddy, Daddy. Papa. That's what he desires. He wants you to lean on him as a father.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Yes, he's God. Yes, he's the creator of the universe. And we know that, and we're reverent towards him, and we fear him, we respect him, but he wants you to climb up on his lap and hug him and say, Papa, Papa, I love you, my dad. I need something. I'm hurting. I have a need. He desires you to do it. And a lot of you are holding back. You're just holding back.
Starting point is 00:50:46 You're just holding back. And you go, well, look, my age, I'm not going to do that. Why? Why? Well, I'm not young anymore. I'm old. I'm not going to cry out for a daddy. Why? You need one.
Starting point is 00:51:02 You need him. He doesn't see you as old I mean he's been around before time he's waiting on you he's just waiting on you and this this money miracle money challenge it's this is not a gimmick. This is a faith building exercise. You need money. This ministry needs money. But more than anything, we both need our Heavenly Father. And when you ask Him for the miracle money, He's going to show up. I know that. I just, I know it, all there is to it. He's going to show up. I know it. It's going to show up. I'm not hoping. I'm not,
Starting point is 00:51:47 when I get off this set, I don't go somewhere and say, oh God, oh God, oh please, please, please make that
Starting point is 00:51:56 Miracle Monday show up so that they believe me. I'm not praying that way, Doc. It's on its way. Amen. It's already there. It's waiting on you to find it. It its way. It's already there. It's waiting on you to find it.
Starting point is 00:52:08 It's there. I don't have to pray for it. It's already there. You have to possess it. You have to believe. You have to expect it. You have to receive it. God wants to release it to you.
Starting point is 00:52:23 He wants to speak to a company that you haven't done business with for eight years. He wants to tell the auditor in that company, go open up that file folder and look at that invoice from eight years ago. You guys made a big mistake. Right. The Holy Spirit can do that. Yes. And why would he want to do that? Why would the Lord want to do that? Because the Father desires to prove himself do that. Yes. And why would He want to do that? Why would the Lord want to do that?
Starting point is 00:52:45 Because the Father desires to prove Himself to you. Yes. He desires to say, I want you to know I am involved in your life. I don't just provide miracle money for you. I provide the taters on your plate every day. And if He knows, if He knew eight years ago that they made a mistake in the billing,
Starting point is 00:53:08 he's known it all along. And he's been waiting on the day for you to ask him to do something. And he goes, Doc, I know exactly where to get that money for you. There's a company you did business with in 2016. They made a mistake. And I'm going to put it in the mind of the auditor to find that mistake. Think about the company, the title company you were working with. Why were they even looking at your real estate documents from 2016? Why? I don't know why. And so I'm glad they did. Because God put it in their head. Right. He put it in their head. Somebody in that office opened up a file folder and went through your records from 2016. That's God working on your behalf. You know it. I'm trying to tell you,
Starting point is 00:54:00 there's a million ways that God can get miracle money to you. You know, Rick, we do news every day here on True News. And some of the news is, I mean, it's bleak. It's gloomy. But, you know, there's a lot of people in our audience that will believe the news but won't believe the Father. That's right. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:54:22 They'll believe the news. They'll say, yes, for sure. Russia, they're going to nuke. Brussels and London and D.C. I believe it. I believe it. But you won't believe that God will provide for you. Yes. Oh, they'll believe there's a food shortage. Yes. They'll believe that there's an oil shortage that's coming. There's shortages everywhere. They'll believe that, but they won't believe guns. Won't believe abundance.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Yes. They won't believe for supernatural abundance. And his promises are more sure than the news headlines. Yes. You know, on this topic of food, what do we do in a time of an emergency? Now, many of you are preppers like me and Doc. We have, each of us have our own individual supply and I've been preparing for many years.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Some of you have too. One time, I was outside. I do a lot of my praying outside. I like to walk around and pray, particularly at night, but I don't do it at night now because I know there's a
Starting point is 00:55:26 seven-foot gator on my property, so I'm a little bit more hesitant to walk around the property at night. But anyhow, that particular day, I was praying outside, and I had read a letter or an email from a person who said, Rick, I'm listening to True News and I believe what you're saying, but I don't have money to buy a lot of emergency food. I just don't have it. What's your advice to me?
Starting point is 00:55:59 I said, Doc, it bothered me. I mean, it's like this is a real concern. And so I walked outside to seek the Lord. Father, what do I say? I don't know what the answer is. This woman believes that there's going to be a shortage of food someday. She wants to buy the extra food. She doesn't have the money.
Starting point is 00:56:24 What do I say to her? And what he told me was this. Tell her to buy the extra food. She doesn't have the money. What do I say to her? And what he told me was this. Tell her to buy something. Tell her to buy something and store it away. She must have something in her possession for me to multiply. That's what he told me. She has to have something in her pantry
Starting point is 00:56:46 that I can multiply. Once I heard that from the Lord, I then knew it really doesn't matter how much food we store. Because, you know, we get that mindset, you know, we just got to fill up bunkers and bunkers and bunkers full of food, okay?
Starting point is 00:57:06 No, you have to have something that God can multiply. How does he multiply it? You're going to give part of it away to feed your neighbor. Now, if you're thinking, oh, no, no, no, my neighbor thinks I'm nuts for storing up food and believing all this stuff. I'm not feeding him. No, the Lord says you have to give something away. What do you have in your house? When the time of emergency comes, God is going to deal with each one of us to give from our storehouse the food that we have stored and to feed the people around
Starting point is 00:57:46 us who did not have the faith or the wisdom to make preparations. But you're not going to be without. You're not going to run out of food. It's going to multiply. You have to get these principles down in your heart. It's going to multiply. It's going to increase. That's what this is all about. And that's why I'm challenging you to ask the Lord for miracle money. Because he's going to send it to you. You're going to keep your vow and send half of it here.
Starting point is 00:58:22 We're going to use it for our expenses. Then you're going to get blessed again because you kept your vow and god's going to send you another blessing and then you're going to from that blessing give again and then another blessing is going to come to you and now see the oil is flowing the oil is flowing so here with us we don't talk about it I don't make a big deal about it this ministry sends out checks every month to other ministries we help a lot of we to orphanages in South America in the Philippines, in India in other Asian countries we help ministries that are winning souls
Starting point is 00:59:15 that are preaching the gospel we're constantly giving out and so actually you're giving out because the money that we give to orphanages came from you. Yes. So there's a double blessing on it, right? You get a blessing for giving it to us. And then you get a double blessing when we give it, share some of it with somebody else. So you get a double blessing. And God wants this to flow in your life, continuous flow.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Get another pot. Get another bucket. The oil is still flowing. Don't limit God. When you stop giving, you've limited God. You said, that's it. No more buckets. I don't want any more.
Starting point is 01:00:05 And so sad. Because right now with the economy tightening up, people are already saying, I got to cut back on my giving. I got to, until things get better, I'm going to stop giving. No, that's the worst thing to do. You just closed up the windows of heaven.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Yes. Don't cut off the oil supply. Keep it moving. Keep it flowing. That's how you go through the hard times. When the economy gets bad, keep the giving.
Starting point is 01:00:41 In fact, step up the giving. At times in my life, in the past, I gave my way out of financial hardship. So many times in my life, too. I had to give my way out. Well, I'd be going through the house, digging, trying to find money to give. I did, too, Doc.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I mean, I'd open up change drawers. Everybody has a change drawer in their house. I did too. And scooping up and trying to come up with 15 bucks to give something. Yes. Because I knew that God rewards those who seek Him. And so, whether you like it or not,
Starting point is 01:01:16 the exchange medium that we work with here in our world today is money. Yes. You may hate money. You may love money. But the fact of the matter is money is what works doc the first time I actually saw I mean super miracle money many years ago was yeah I look back and when I was a young Christian the Lord put me in a lot of situations where I I had
Starting point is 01:01:42 to trust him it just didn't make sense how I got in that situation it's like but God would put me in a lot of situations where I had to trust him. It just didn't make sense how I got in that situation. It's like God would put me in situations where I had to trust him. And it built up my faith muscles. So, you know, he was like tossing me into the lake to learn to swim. So he would toss me in. I'd learn how to have faith. I had to. I had to get out of the situation. I how to have faith. I had to. I had to get out of the situation.
Starting point is 01:02:05 I had to trust him. I had to believe. And that's why it's easy for me now. You know, when Eric says, I love Eric, when he says, I want to have faith like you, Rick, do you want to go through what I went through to get to faith? That was the hard part right I went through a lot just like just like a guy that's built
Starting point is 01:02:33 up with muscles they didn't appear you had to go to the gym you had to sweat you had to hurt you had to work it took effort to to get those types of muscles built onto your body same way with faith muscles it it takes effort and you have to learn it and and so this one time doc when i was a younger christian i various, when you're self-employed. And there would be times when the cash was not flowing to me, okay, and I was learning these faith principles, how to trust God. And so I was in this particular place where I absolutely did not have any money. It was one weekend.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I had been expecting a check to arrive. It didn't come in. I had zero cash, absolutely zero cash. I was waiting on this check to arrive. I think, how am I going to get through this weekend? I don't have a single dollar to my name. Well, on a Saturday, I went to a Christian event for men. And when they took up the offering, I mean, I love to give. And so I automatically put my hand in my pants pocket to get my wallet and get something to give. And then as I'm reaching
Starting point is 01:04:10 for my wallet I'm thinking, I don't have any money. What am I going to do? I don't have any money. I pulled my hand out of my pants pocket and I had money. I had notes, dollar bills. Doc, I swear to you, God is my witness. When I went to that meeting, I had no money. Because I was thinking, what am I going to do for the weekend? I have no money. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:42 I got money in my hands. So you have a choice. So I put some of it in the offering. Right. And I had to rest for the day. The next day is Sunday. Now, I had already spent the money that I had found in my pocket. Right. The next day I go to church.
Starting point is 01:05:02 It's time for an offering. I do the same thing. I reach to get my wallet. I'm thinking, what are you doing? You spent that money you found yesterday. I put my hands in my pants pocket again, and I pull out a wad of money. And it was like fives and tens and twenties.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I'm like, where did this come from? This is a true story, folks. This is really true. I couldn't wait. I could not wait to get home to pray and ask God something. So I drove home, had the wife and kids with me.
Starting point is 01:05:39 I get home Sunday morning. I ran to my bedroom. I got on my knees, knelt at the bed, and I'm like, God, I got to ask you a question. I got to ask you a question. Did you make that money appear? I don't know where it came from. I don't know where it came from. It happened twice. Please tell me, did you make that money appear? And I have my Bible in my hand, and I'm looking at my Bible to see if the Lord would speak to me,
Starting point is 01:06:11 and he goes, I hear this in my head. Don't use that Bible. Use the Bible under the bed. And I said, Lord, I don't have a Bible under the bed. And he said it again. Use the Bible under your bed. And he said it again. Use the Bible under your bed. I get down and I look under the bed and I see at the center of the bed up against the wall, I see a Bible.
Starting point is 01:06:39 I pull it out. It's covered with dust. I opened it up and money was in it. No kidding. It is true. Absolute true. This is awesome. There is money in the Bible. I didn't even know the Bible was there.
Starting point is 01:06:55 I can't even remember ever putting a Bible under the bed. And why would I put money in the Bible? I don't know why I would put money in a Bible. I've never used money as a bookmarker. Never. But an angel did. It happened. There was money in that Bible.
Starting point is 01:07:16 And I just remember laughing. This is amazing. It is, isn't it? It's absolutely amazing. You see, you had that expectation of, you don't even know why that Bible was there, didn't know the Bible was there, but you heard the Holy Spirit speak and get that Bible.
Starting point is 01:07:36 But there was that attitude of expectation that was there. And so many people, I guess, Rick, because we've been through the tough times, well, we've made the mistake in walking in faith at times, not understanding how to navigate this. But now, I want to assure you, just exercise these faith muscles. Take this tiny step of faith.
Starting point is 01:07:56 That's all this is. We're not asking you to cash out your 401K. We're not asking you to cash out your crypto account or nothing like that. We're asking you to believe God for something special. I mean, your father desires to give good gifts to you, doesn't he? Yes. Well, I know he does because the Bible says so.
Starting point is 01:08:15 This would be a good gift, right? Wouldn't you like a gift from your father? A gift that you can share with someone else? That's right. So these are the steps. You make a promise to God. You ask the Lord to send, reveal, whatever, whatever method, miracle money to you. And we put a deadline on it, August 31st, 2022.
Starting point is 01:08:42 I mean, that's a month away. That's plenty of time. You could get 10 times. Miracle money could come 10 times between now and August 31st. Don't cut off the flow. When the first one comes, ask again. God's not going to be offended if you ask again. He's going to be impressed.
Starting point is 01:08:58 So number one, ask God for miracle money by August 31st. Number two, promise that you will share 50% with true news. One, ask God for miracle money by August 31st. Number two, promise that you will share 50% with true news. Number three, when you receive it, send half of it to true news. Use the other half for your needs. Then, with your mouth, brag about God. Tell your friends and relatives and co-workers what God did. Tell them about the miracle money pledge.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Tell them, I watched this guy, Rick Wiles, and he challenged me to believe for miracle money and I did it and the miracle money came. Let me tell you how it came. And then tell us. Then send us an email. Send me an email. And you can send us an email address. I'm using miraclemoneyatrickwiles.com. Or you can just send it to info at truenews.com.
Starting point is 01:09:57 We'll get it. Send us a miracle report. Let us know what God did, or send us a letter, and then do the whole process over again. Right. Just keep doing it until the miracle stops flowing. Until there's no more pots left. Yes. Yes. She was in charge of the pots.
Starting point is 01:10:20 See, the principle is it doesn't have to stop. Yes. The principle is it doesn't have to stop yes the principle is it doesn't have to stop if you keep expecting it will flow and I think this is just my opinion not anyone else's but Jesus was talking to the disciples
Starting point is 01:10:39 one day and he said beware the leaven of the Pharisees and then the disciples got confused. They thought, well, because we didn't bring any bread. Now, he had just supplied bread to 4,000 people. And Jesus over here overheard their comment, because they didn't bring any bread. He said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:10:58 You're missing the whole point about all that. Remember back when we fed the 5,000? How many baskets did you take up? 12. And remember, we just fed the 5,000? How many baskets did you take up? 12. And remember, we just fed the 4,000. How many baskets did you take up there? Seven. And then he says, once again, he says, beware the 11.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Do you understand this now? Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? Jesus wasn't limited by the number of baskets. What if they'd had 100 baskets? Don't you think Jesus would have filled up every single one of those baskets? He said, beware of the unbelief. That's right.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Of the Pharisees. Because the Pharisees and Sadducees saw those miracles happen and still denied them. Yes. They said, this is a shyster. This is a scam artist. This isn't happening. This isn't real.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Something's going on. He's a magician. This isn't real. Something's going on. He's a magician. He's a devil. He's everything except the Son of God. Because Hebrews 11, 6 says that without faith, it's impossible to please him. There's nothing you can do to please him. Without faith, it's impossible to please him because you have to believe that he is he that the I am is that's right doc we're getting emails obviously from from people who are very very upset about miracle money yeah very angry accusing me of all kinds and these are people that watch true news. You know, Rick Wiles, this proves that you're a crook. How am I a crook? How? Tell me how.
Starting point is 01:12:30 I'm asking you, I'm challenging you. I'm asking God to give you money. How am I doing something wrong? You've got to know the Pharisees and Sadducees were mad at Jesus for milk and bread. Sure they were. He's out there feeding people.
Starting point is 01:12:47 The reason these people are writing to us, they're mad because they're afraid that God's going to do it for them. Yes. And then they have to deal with God. They got religious spirits, but they don't know the Lord. And so they don't want to know that God is really involved in their life.
Starting point is 01:13:08 That He is. That He is. And that He's a rewarder. Of those who seek Him. Because a lot of people don't believe He's a rewarder. They don't believe He's a rewarder, that God gives good things. I believe God is a rewarder. I believe God gives good things. My father gives good gifts. And what is the harm in me asking Lord, Rick says, the man of God says to ask for miracle money. And if you send some money my way, Lord
Starting point is 01:13:36 I'll give half to the ministry. What's the harm? The three principles. Recognizing Almighty God is your source for everything. Principle number two, give that it may be given. Principle number three, expect a miracle. So you may be thinking, well, wait a minute. Number two is give that it may be given. I'm not giving anything yet. When you make the pledge. Yes. When you make the pledge to give half of the miracle money, God says, okay, you've given.
Starting point is 01:14:06 He's taking you on credit. Yes. He's taking your word on it right there. I believe you're going to do it. And I'm going to mark it paid. Because you believe me, I'm going to believe you. That's right. Don't you want God to believe in you?
Starting point is 01:14:18 And that's why. That pleases him. That's why it's really spiritually dangerous to renege on a promise. Right. So when God sends you the miracle money and you don't do what you said you're gonna do, now he got a bone to pick with you, all right? Because he marked in his books paid in advance. Okay, and then you didn't do it.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Very few people are gonna be that way. But they, there are. There are idiots. There are, there are people that have already said to us, well, I got the money, but I changed who I'm giving it to. Okay. Or I'm doing payments.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Yeah, okay. Well, that's not what you promised God. Because that's the second part of Hebrews 11, 6. They don't believe he's a rewarder. Yeah. Well, they also don't believe that he'll deal with their dishonesty. Yeah. Read about Ananias and Sapphira.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Right. I believe God. They changed the terms. Yes. And the Holy Spirit revealed it to the apostles and called them out on it. And they had the opportunity to repent. Yeah. But they didn't. That's right. So then they went up feet first to the apostles and called them out on it. And they had the opportunity to repent. Yeah. But they didn't.
Starting point is 01:15:25 That's right. So then they went up feet first to the church. I think, everybody, I think you're going to give. You're going to make that pledge. Do it today. Ask for miracle money. Then start looking for it. And it doesn't matter if it's only $10.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Like the brother who found $10 on the road walking to work, that's his miracle money. He sent five. He did what he promised to do. You know something else, Doc? I think some people are afraid. They're afraid God may give them $10,000 of miracle money. And they have to make a choice. And they'll have to give us $5,000 and they don't want to do it. And they'd rather not get the miracle money than to give up half. Because if God gave you
Starting point is 01:16:14 $10,000, $20,000, are you afraid that you won't keep your promise to God? I mean, you don't have it now. And he's going to give it to you, and then you're not going to be willing to give up half of it in response to the pledge that you made. I think there are people who are holding back, not making this request because they don't want to give the 50%. Because they don't believe you're the man of God speaking to them. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Because if they did believe it, they'd follow through on it. Yeah. So. Well, hey, let the Lord. It's going to be a great weekend for some of you. Over the weekend. Some of you are going to be so blessed this week. You're going to walk to the mailbox and there's going to be a letter there.
Starting point is 01:17:02 You're going to be sorting through old photographs. And there's going to be a card there. You're going to be sorting through old photographs and there's going to be a card from Grandma Irma that you forgot about. We're going to have miracle stories all weekend. Here's the deal. You've got to be in an expectant attitude. I'm looking everywhere for money, Rick.
Starting point is 01:17:20 You know why? Because I want to give. I believe in what we're doing here. I give anyway. I give on a regular basis anyway. But when it comes to miracle money, that's something special. There's an anointing on this. It's that faith multiplier that's in place.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I'm excited, Rick. I mean, I get goosebumps just talking about it. Well, I'm excited about us coming in on Monday and reading the emails of what happened this weekend. Yes. Because I believe a lot of you are going to have miracle money arrival this weekend. And you're going to write to us and tell us about it.
Starting point is 01:17:56 That's it for today. Make your pledge. Ask the Lord for the miracle money. And we'll see you next week. God bless. God bless you. The preceding program was made possible by the faithful prayers
