00:31 One of the many texts in the Bible
00:34 about generosity is found in Matthew 10:42. 00:38 "And whoever gives one of these little ones, 00:39 even a cup of water, 00:41 because he is a disciple, 00:43 truly I say to you, 00:44 he will by no means lose his reward." 00:47 Every day we have an opportunity 00:48 to be generous. 00:50 Every day there is someone who has a need, 00:52 be it a little one or an adult, 00:54 but whatever we do, we must do 00:56 as we are doing it unto the Lord Himself. 01:00 Being generous means caring enough 01:02 to be aware of a specific need. 01:04 I encourage You today to be Jesus' hands 01:07 and be generous with someone 01:09 who needs something in particular, 01:11 may it be a generous smile, a generous hug, 01:15 a cup of cold water, 01:16 whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord Himself. 01:22 Jesus was the true example of generosity. 01:28 Just when I need Him 01:31 Jesus is true 01:33 Never forsaking, all the way through 01:38 Giving for burdens pleasures anew 01:42 Just when I need Him most 01:47 Just when I need Him most 01:51 Just when I need Him most 01:55 Jesus is near to comfort and cheer 02:00 Just when I need Him most 02:10 Father, we come before Your throne of grace, 02:13 thankful for Your goodness and Your mercies 02:17 with each one of us. 02:19 Thank You, Lord, 02:20 that You bring sunshine to our lives. 02:23 Thank You that You'll walk with us 02:25 across any storm. 02:28 Thank You for caring us. 02:30 Thank You because You are a provider. 02:33 Thank You, Lord, 02:34 because You have given us talents and skills 02:38 to share Your love in so many ways. 02:42 I pray, Lord, for a humble spirit 02:45 and I pray that our eyes will be open 02:47 to the needs of others. 02:50 Help us, Lord, as we take a step of faith 02:52 in fulfilling the need of someone around us. 02:56 In Jesus' name we pray. 02:57 Amen. 03:03 Lord, bless us with the spirit of generosity. 03:07 Bestow upon us all the desire to give, 03:09 for You have said in Your Word, 03:11 a generous person will prosper 03:13 and whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. 03:17 Father, we desire 03:18 to be joyful givers in Your sight. 03:21 We want to follow in Your humble example, 03:23 for You are the most generous of all. 03:26 You have indeed poured out blessings upon Your people 03:29 that we do not have enough room to receive them. 03:32 Thank You, Lord, for giving to us, 03:34 even when we did not deserve it. 03:36 May we receive Your spirit of generosity 03:39 and loving-kindness in our hearts today. 03:41 In Jesus' name we pray. 03:43 Amen. 03:49 Our precious Father in heaven, 03:51 Lord, we are so grateful for Jesus, 03:54 the gift from above. 03:57 Thank You for sending our precious Savior. 04:00 Lord, we are in this world of sin and heartache 04:04 and disappointment 04:06 but, Lord, we know that some people, 04:07 they don't even know 04:09 where their next meal is coming from, 04:11 how they're going to pay their bills. 04:13 But, Lord, You are so generous to us. 04:16 You give us life every day. 04:18 You give us health and strength 04:20 and, Lord, we just thank You for that. 04:23 I just pray, Lord, that we will be grateful 04:26 for Your generosity towards us. 04:29 May we look to You 04:30 and be thankful in all that is said and done 04:33 in Jesus name. 04:35 Amen. 04:41 Just when I need Him 04:44 Jesus is strong 04:46 Bearing my burden All the day long 04:52 For all my sorrow giving a song 04:58 Just when I need Him most 05:04 Just when I need Him most 05:08 Just when I need Him most 05:13 Jesus is near to comfort and cheer 05:18 Just when I need Him most 05:29 Lord, we consider the generosity 05:31 of which You have shown to Your people. 05:33 You loved us when we were unlovable, 05:35 Your long suffering, 05:36 the mercy which You extend to us. 05:38 I am blown away, Lord, 05:39 by how You have reached out too, 05:40 I know You love us. 05:42 There's no point of our lives 05:43 that is unaffected by Your generosity. 05:45 And it has touched me, just seeing, 05:47 Lord, how generous and how patient 05:49 and loving You are with us. 05:51 Lord, I ask You help us to see that, 05:53 to see Your mercy and Your love. 05:56 And I ask, Lord, that You'd help us 05:57 to share that with others 05:58 and, Lord, that others would come to know 06:00 Christ as their savior, 06:01 that they too would know Your generosity 06:03 and Your wonderful love for them. 06:04 We ask this in the name of Christ, 06:06 amen. 06:12 Father God, 06:13 I feel abundantly blessed by You. 06:16 You made many grains of sand at the beach, 06:18 not just one grain. 06:20 You made many types of clouds all with their own message. 06:24 Even the number of stars cannot be numbered 06:27 because of Your endless generosity 06:30 displayed in the heavens. 06:32 Today, let my heart also be full of generosity 06:35 toward others. 06:36 May I share Your blessings out of a grateful heart 06:39 for the wonderful things You have done 06:41 and are still doing in my life. 06:45 Your works, oh, Lord, are great searched out by all of them 06:49 that have pleasure in them. 06:51 You have made Your wonderful works 06:52 to be remembered. 06:54 May I always remember Your generosity, oh, God. 06:57 In Jesus' name I pray. 06:59 Amen. 07:05 Dear heavenly Father, 07:06 in Jesus name I come to You 07:08 thanking You for being my God. 07:10 I thank You for sending Your dear Son 07:12 to die for me and for the whole world. 07:15 Lord, while You walk this earth, 07:17 You set forth a great example for each one of us. 07:20 You showed us 07:22 how to be compassionate to one another, 07:24 to be generous 07:25 and to put others above ourselves. 07:27 I pray for each one 07:28 who may be listening at this moment 07:30 to allow the Holy Spirit 07:32 to touch their life in a special way, 07:35 to influence them, to put self aside, 07:38 help us to be kind and generous to one another. 07:41 I pray everyone we meet will see Jesus in us. 07:45 Touch our hearts so we will want to reach out 07:47 to those who are in need. 07:49 Thank You Father. 07:50 In Jesus' name, amen. 07:57 I love the fact that the Bible talks 08:00 so highly about generosity 08:02 that God even gives a promise. 08:05 In Psalm 41:1-3, 08:08 He reminds us of the promise to be generous. 08:11 "Blessed is the one who considers the poor! 08:14 In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him, 08:17 the Lord protects him and keeps him alive, 08:20 he is called blessed in the land, 08:23 you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. 08:26 The Lord sustains him on his sickbed, 08:30 in his illness you restore him to full health." 08:34 Lord, I thank You 08:36 that You respond to the kindness 08:38 and generosity of Your people 08:40 with protection, with health and with the abundance 08:46 that we may be even more kind and more generous. 08:51 And in Luke 6:37-38, 08:54 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. 08:57 Condemn not, and you will not be condemned. 09:00 Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 09:02 Give and it will be given to you: 09:04 good measure, pressed down, shaken together, 09:06 running over will be put into your lap. 09:10 For with the measure you use, 09:12 it will be measured back to you." 09:18 Withholding judgment, condemnation 09:22 and offering forgiveness, 09:24 these are ways that we can act generously. 09:28 And in God's economy, these are rewarded. 09:33 Father, thank You for a generous spirit. 09:37 Father, I want to thank You 09:39 for Your graciousness to Your children. 09:43 And, Lord, I pray for protection and safety. 09:47 For those who are traveling around this world, 09:53 serving in missions, 09:54 serving in food banks 09:59 and clothe banks, 10:03 giving things away, 10:06 being the hands and feet to those who need 10:09 food and clothing. 10:12 We are a needy people, Lord. 10:15 But, Lord, You have clothed us. 10:21 You have provided for us. 10:26 Lord, I pray for our churches. 10:29 Father, I truly believe that 10:32 our churches should take the lead 10:34 in being generous. 10:41 We have the resources 10:43 provided from Your bountiful supply 10:48 to show the world what it means to be generous. 10:53 So I pray for our church leaders 10:54 that they would be discerning 10:56 that You would give them wisdom 10:59 on how to give of the resources that You bless us with. 11:05 Lord, many of our viewers are facing addictions. 11:12 Many of our viewers need healing 11:14 for various diseases 11:18 and physical ailments. 11:23 Lord God, I pray that You would heal them. 11:27 Thank You 11:29 for Your generous healing, Lord. 11:32 I pray, dear God, 11:35 that Your power would be obvious 11:40 in the lives of Your children, 11:42 that Your love would be obvious 11:44 in the lives of Your people, 11:49 that Your presence would be strong in us. 11:54 Father, that we would share the message of hope in life 11:57 that only You have to offer. 12:00 No more generous could we be than to extend 12:05 the hope in life that You've given us. 12:10 Thank You, Father, for Your hope. 12:16 Just when I need Him 12:20 He is my all 12:23 Answering when upon Him I call 12:30 Tenderly watching lest I should fall 12:36 Just when I need Him most 12:42 Just when I need Him most 12:46 Just when I need Him most 12:50 Jesus is near to comfort and cheer 12:55 Just when I need Him most 13:04 Proverbs 11:24-25 says, 13:08 "One gives freely, yet grows all the richer, 13:11 another withholds what he should give 13:15 and only suffers want. 13:17 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, 13:19 and one who waters will himself be watered." 13:25 As sure as the law of gravity, the more you grasp and hoard, 13:29 the more you need, 13:30 but those who give freely and generously 13:33 find that they are happier, healthier, 13:35 and experience more blessings. 13:38 Amen. 13:41 Please send us your prayer request 13:43 or become a part of our Prayer
