God Will Supply All Your Needs

When we live by faith in God’s promise of future grace, it will be very hard for anxiety to survive in our hearts.
---
In Philippians 4:6, Paul says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” And then in Philippians 4:19 (just 13 verses later), he gives the liberating promise of future grace: “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
If we live by faith in this promise of future grace, it will be very hard for anxiety to survive. God’s “riches in glory” are inexhaustible. He really means for us not to worry about our future.
We should follow this pattern that Paul lays out for us. We should battle the unbelief of anxiety with the promises of future grace.
When I am anxious about some risky new venture or meeting, I regularly battle unbelief with one of my most often-used promises, Isaiah 41:10.
The day I left America for three years in Germany my father called me long distance and gave me this promise on the telephone. For three years I must have quoted it to myself five hundred times to get me through periods of tremendous stress. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
I have fought anxiety with this promise so many times that when the motor of my mind is in neutral, the hum of the gears is the sound of Isaiah 41:10.

    I had anxeity for a year after jail and recovering from a meth and acid and xanax and weed addiction.. And after recovering from schizophrenia. I had bad anxeity as the way i describe it for hours on end 2 to 12 or more hours at a time.. And i wasnt worried about anything or concerned.. I just had a overwhelming feeling in my chest and body that would paralyze me.. Well its gone now. And I know thats part of Gods grace.

    Amen. Behold the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world... ONLY the blood of Jesus defeated sin, satan, and death! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Of first importance, Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, He was buried in a tomb, and on the third day He rose from the dead in accordance with the Scriptures. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that through Him the world might be saved. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. For without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. The former days of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands ALL people everywhere to repent for He has fixed a day upon which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to ALL by raising Him from the dead. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son will not see life for the wrath of God remains upon him. Repent and believe the Gospel for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Jesus Christ Luke 5:32 Follow Jesus ONLY; Holy Bible ONLY. peacewithGod.net /// esv.org (I am not affiliated with these sites.) To God alone be glory. Maranatha!

    He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father’s full giving is only begun. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, Our God ever yearns His resources to share; Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again. ~Annie Johnstone Flint

Even in the natural someone that has applied for 8,000 jobs would get a job. I see the supernatural power but not for me but against me. I pray every day. I know lots of spiritual warfare prayers. I have more than 40 God's promises in my wall. I pray with faith everyday. So many times I prayed with so much faith and had a terrible day.

    Marcus Davis I dealt with the same thing! You must fight through it! God wants you to always strive to be for Him and to strive for eternal salvation, it is not His voice that persuades you to believe you are unsaved. Those thoughts will become more common the less you interact with Christ. Don't be afraid, brother. Put your faith and trust in God and always stay focused on Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you, amen! I will pray for you.

    God may not have deadlines but we do. There are dates and times things are due. Once the time is past, there is no getting it back. Companies or people you owe or children or spouses you have to take care of have time frames. There is, unfortunately, times when if God doesn't answer your prayer, it is too late. The often heard (but not that encouraging) "Hang on dear brother or sister, the Lord will see you thru!" Seems easy to be said. try telling the bank that. Or the doctor to just hold with that diagnosis, or even worse, your children to just wait not for what they frivolously want, but what they need.

    roger Bear You come off as though you have some dissent between you and the Lord.... Time is of no importance to God, you are right in your assertion. You are wrong in your meaning though. Everything that happens in this world is predestined. What happens to you in your life was already molded by God the Father. With a mindset like yours it's easy to see this life as a means to an end... but when you pair the human mindset with the divine power of God you realize that this life is a means to a *BEGINNING*. Fear and stress are understandable and normal to humans, even the calmest of people still struggle with being overwhelmed... Doubt though, is of Satan. I suggest you pray on the matter rather than allowing yourself to be overcome with thoughts such as these... God bless, I will keep you in prayer.

    Who said that God doesn't have a deadline? "At the RIGHT TIME Christ died for the ungodly." After the ark was finished, the earth was flooded. And after the fullness of the elect shall come in, so the END will come. He certainly has a deadline! But what hangs on that deadline is waaaaay greater than what hangs on the bank, even greater than our lives! :) Because what hangs on that deadline are our eternities -- eternity of pleasure or eternity of suffering. The Lord is patient not wanting anyone to perish but that all might reach repentance. But He will not wait forever. One of these days, we will see the glory of Jesus Christ along with His angels coming down from the sky. And that is when we know that history has come to its final page. And what, even our very lives has a deadline. God has set when our last breath will be. God is way greater than any human Manager you have ever seen and what He has planned, He will accomplish. That is why you have reason to trust in Him, because not only does He know what He is doing (which concerns the entirety of the universe and the entirety of human history), He also is able to accomplish His will. You can trust this Sovereign God and this gracious and merciful God. Let not the things of the world define your life but God. Even your not making it through a deadline, if you belong to God, He's gonna use that for your ultimate good. And I'm speaking this as someone who has been through a lot of unmet deadlines and deaths that came suddenly. Please, dear brother, see beyond the things and cares of this world. All of this are passing away. Seek for what is true treasure, securest investment -- eternity in the Kingdom of God. "For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?" God bless you! :)

    I don't know if this is true or not. Paul was talking specifically to the Phillipians, and I think he was saying "He will provide your ever need" in the sense of things you need for Spiritual growth, otherwise how do we account for the Romans jailing early Christians, slaughtering them, taking care of needs? I'm not saying I know, posing it as a question.

    Well maybe the need there is not to be set fre from prison. The promise is also anchored on the truth that God knows or very need far more than we know it. And that is why we can trust His provision is exactly what we need, His supply to what we really need He will provide. :)

    Because we get anxious when we feel that we have a need and that it is difficult to meet that need. But anxiety is defeated when we have confidence in the abundant provision of God -- that He will provide exactly what we need for our time of need -- be it physical or spiritual provision or both. He knows our needs and He cares and He will supply us so we can trust Him completely. :)
