My Father Knows What I Need

Matt 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day
is its own trouble.


The father is the seed carrier. With out your father you wouldn't be. The devil is fighting against fathers. Show love towards your father though he may not have been around. God can be a greater father.

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 

We have the worrying, doubting spirit in our lives and it produces fear. Daddy has you. He knows what is going on in your life and God is Jehovah Jireh. You don't know what God is doing for you. Don't get upset over a set back. Whatever is going on God has your back. You know there is a calling on your life but it will come with a test. It doesn't mean you will never struggle.

Job 14:1
1 “Man who is born of woman
      Is of few days and full of trouble.



Troubles don't last always. They come to teach and train you.

27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  

What is stress going to do but make you sick or take you to an early grave? If you just hold fast to God your life will be better. Keep holding on. The worse thing you can do is give up when you are close.

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

What good father is not going to let the basic needs going to be taken care of. There's a seed time and a harvest time. You have to wait and won't die from waiting. You are killing yourself when you stress. You have to decide to renew your mind and be stress free.

Attributes Of a Father:

1. Love

A real father loves you unconditionally. God loves you and got you a ticket out of hell. You may be facing temptation right now but God has provided you a way out.

1 Cor 10:13


13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

You sin because you want to and because it feels good.

Heb 11:24-25
24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

2. Provides

God is Jehovah Jireh. Abraham tried to sacrifice Issac. God provided a ram in the bush. Ram means king. God loves to provide. He is our source. When you let a job replace God hell will break loos.

Deut 8;18
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Remember how things used to before God changed things for you. Remember that you are the head and not the tail (Deut 28:13). It is God working for you and and not your education, skill, ect. Get rid of your wish list and take out your reverence list. If you praise Him for what He's already done God has no problem providing your needs. God wants you to have something.

Phil 4:12
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

3. Protects


God protects your family, money, ect. You are recession proof.

Proverbs 13:22
22 A good man
      But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. 


You will not be broke forever. God loves you so much He will cause your enemies to stumble. The same trap that is set for you will be used on them. Jesus said that He could have called 12 legions of angels (Math 26:53).

4. Visionary

God can see for you. For the married women, your husband can hear from God but you can not be in his ear. You may have a vision but it will come to pass in season. If the vision is from God it will happen. If you are single just go for it! God will have another vision for you before you complete your current one. A vision simply means you can not be comfortable because God has something greater. God will show you mighty things (Jer 33:3). Have fresh goals. Put them on your fridge, car, computer screen, ect. Write your vision and make it plain (Hab 2:2-3).

5. Loves the children

When Pastor Brown heard his youngest daughter cry he responded by giving her a bottle. God spoke and said that the reason why He doesn't respond as quick is because we have lost our cry. As soon as things work out we lose our brokenness. The minute you get your cry back God will bless you beyond your wildest dreams. When you don't know what to say in English speak in tongues.

1 Cor 14:4
4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
God knows! Lose your mentality for praying for things. Seek first the Kingdom of God.
