MAKING ROOM FOR INCREASE

You can't get increase on the outside without making room for it on the inside. You make room for increase on the inside by changing your thinking.


· e.g. if you don't think you will get out of debt then you probably never will.


· Mark 2:22 NIV


And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."


God has unlimited supplies what decreases is our ability to receive it.


·if I have thousands of gallons of water but all you have is a gallon jug then it's obvious that supply is not the issue.


·Matthew 9:29 NIV


Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you";


2 Kings 4:1-7 NIV


The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord . But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves." Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?"

"Your servant has nothing there at all," she said, "except a small jar of olive oil." Elisha said, "Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side." She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one."

But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."


· If she had more jars then she could have gotten more oil


Psalm 35:27 NIV


May those who delight in my vindication

shout for joy and gladness;

may they always say, "The Lord be exalted,

who delights in the well-being of his servant."


· It's ok to want more for yourself.


· There was a man fishing. Everytime that man caught a big fish he would throw out back but he would keep the small fish. Someone finally asked him why he was throwing the big fish back. He said that it was because he only had a ten-inch frying pan. Some people need to buy a new frying pan.


· Some people have a ten-inch frying pan mentality...e.g. well this was my mom's frying pan...we''re just a ten-inch frying pan family.


· Proverbs 13:22 NIV


A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children, but a sinner's wealth is stored up for the righteous.


Isaiah 60:1 NIV


"Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.


· Glory indicates weight.


Psalm 150:2 NIV


Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.
