re you facing a lack in any area of your life, be it finances, health or relationships? Know that in that very same area, God has already prepared His superabundant supply which will abound toward you, and on top of that, His grace and more of His grace! In John 6:113, Jesus was with a large crowd of people who were hungry. The problem then was a lack of food. But Jesus knew that where there is lack, there is superabundant supply in His Fathers kingdom to overcome that lack. His disciples, however, did not know that. They did not think the same way as Jesus did. They told Him that there was a boy with five loaves and two small fish, but they did not think that that would amount to anything. They said, What are the five loaves and two fish among so many? (John 6:9) They saw only the problem, the lack. But Jesus took the little, lifted it up as He looked to heaven and gave thanks to His Father, whose supply is so much more than we can ever ask for. When Jesus started distributing the little that was in His hands, a miracle happened. Five thousand men, not counting women and children, ate as much as they wanted and for as long as they were hungry! The supply kept flowing as long as the need was there. And after they were so filled, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers! That is Gods superabundant supply. In Gods kingdom, there is no such thing as the Father not having enough or not wanting to give abundantly to His children. No, He promises that He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus! My friend, God wants us to always be conscious of His grace abounding toward us and enveloping us. So let us, like Jesus, acknowledge Gods superabundant supply by thanking Him for it and for whatever is in our hands. Let us believe that His superabundant supply will flow and multiply the little that we have, and fill us up to overflowing!

There once stood a wall Deep and wide, Strong and tall There it stood Built of all our unholiness But this Man by His blood Broke the wall, Loosed the flood Of the mercies of God to all mankind*
ve always loved this song. It reminds me that ever since Jesus cried, It is finished! (John 19:30), God unleashed a flood tide of grace upon this world, and that grace has been flowing ever since. Whatever you need today, my friend, Christ has already supplied it through the cross. You can tell yourself, Man, whatever the situation I am in, Gods supply is there!

You dont have to wait for the right time, place or external circumstances when it comes to asking and receiving from God. Simply look away from the demand, see His supply and receive by grace what you need.
shes completely healed in Jesus name. No fanfare, no feeling holy goose bumps running up and down my arms, just a simple, honest prayer. In the midst of the setting of that ordinary, noisy food court, I just saw the supply there for her healing. After praying for this precious lady, I said to her, Okay, dont worry about the pain anymore. Dont be conscious of it. Just ignore it. The Lord has healed you already. She thanked me and went on talking about her family and other things. Then, all of a sudden, she said excitedly, Oh, hey, its gone! The pain thats been there for a number of days is GONE! I remember just standing there, looking at her, warmed by Gods love for the dear lady and amazed at the sheer simplicity of His grace toward us. My friend, right in the ordinariness of everyday life, you can receive from the supply that is constantly flowing toward you. Do you need healing today? Do you need wisdom? Peace for a troubled heart? You can receive it right now if you can see His supply all around you, giving you what you need. It doesnt matter where you find yourself. You dont have to wait for the right time, place or external circumstances when it comes to asking and receiving from God. Simply look away from the demand, see His supply and receive by grace what you need.
Be Supply-Conscious
My friend, when youre supply-oriented, youll see God work miracles in your life. Not long ago, I went to Universal Studios on the island of Sentosa, Singapore, with my family. While I was having some food at a food court, a lady who worked there walked right up to me and greeted me, Pastor Prince! So I said, Hi, and she said, Wow, Im so glad to see you here. She talked with me a little and then said, You know, Ive been having this pain in my back for the past few days. I prayed and asked God to send me someone and He sent you. Will you please pray for me? I looked around me. The setting wasnt right. There wasnt anointed worship music playing in the background. In fact, the food court was noisy with the chatter of people and the clatter of cutlery and crockery. I thought to myself, You want me to pray for you here? Now? Then, I remembered what the Lord had been telling me about being supply-oriented. So I stood up, placed my hand gently on her elbow and said, Lord, I just thank You for Your supply of grace. I just thank You that theres more grace here than her pain. I just thank You that You are healing her back now, adjusting and restoring whatever needs adjusting and restoring. I thank You that
But because Jesus saw the supply, He was able to thank the Father for the little that was in His hands, and the little multiplied and multiplied and kept on multiplying! Not only were the people fed till their bellies were bulging, but there were also 12 baskets full of leftovers! What an awesome miracle! When grace supplies, its always exceedingly, abundantly and above all you can ever ask or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) Pause and think about this for a moment. Are you facing a five-loaves-and-two-small-fish situation in your life right now? Is there a situation of scarcity in your finances or family life? Are you struggling to find enough time to get your work done as well as spend quality time with your family? Whatever your area of lack, take some time to reread the last two paragraphs, and saturate your heart and mind with the largeness of Gods heart and supply toward you. See the abundance Jesus wants to bless you with instead of your impossible situation and receive His supply with 12 baskets full of leftovers in every area of insufficiency!
If you remove the middle letter Hey, which stands for grace, you get AlephBet, which is the Hebrew word for father.
In other words, put Hey (grace) back in the centre of the word for father and you get back the word for love. Can you see it? In the midst of your Fathers heart is love. The Father is all about love! Now, what does love do? John 3:16 tells us For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son Love gives! Love doesnt take. Love gives! In fact, love gives more than you can take! So God, who is defined as love, and who personifies perfect love, is always giving, giving, giving. If you read the Gospels, youll find that during His earthly ministry, God the Son was always giving. Jesus meant every word He said when He said, the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28) Even in His glorified, resurrected form in heaven, He remains a servant forever, signified by the golden girdle around His waist. (Revelation 1:13, KJV) Yes, He is Lord of lords, King of kings, but according to His Word, He is also a servant who delights in serving and giving to you!
...its not hard to understand how the grace of God is always supplying when you know that the essence of God Himself is love and that LOVE GIVES.

Thats the thing about Jesus when He gives, He always over-supplies! He doesnt know how to give you just enough.
people stone you to death! No, His grace was flowing abundantly toward the man. His supply of healing was there for the taking. So, filled with compassion and unconditional love, Jesus put out His hand and touched the leper, saying, I am willing; be cleansed. And immediately, the man was healed. (Matthew 8:13) Notice that Jesus touched the leper first before He healed him. Now, why is this significant? Simply put, that simple touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and probably physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to touch, let alone embrace or kiss, him. He himself could not touch, hug or kiss his loved ones. Can you imagine what that does to the self-esteem and sanity of a human being? Jesus alone understood that he had not just been sick, but also alienated and dehumanized. I want you to see that love gave the man more than just health. Jesus knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave above and beyond what the leper had hoped for. Besides health, Jesus gave him back his dignity and the joy of being able to embrace and be embraced by his friends and loved ones. Again, we see the over-supplying love and grace of our Lord!
is hopeless. Or like the two men in the above accounts, maybe you suffer from a physical condition and want to see healing and restoration. Listen, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The same way He had compassion on the leper and the man with the withered hand and oversupplied their needs is the same way He has compassion on you and wants you to experience His oversupply. Dont focus on the hopelessness of your situation. Instead, see the oversupply of grace and expect God to give to you beyond your wildest imaginings!
Me, take more from My supply. Oh, what a beautiful Savior we have! So, my friend, our faith is small when we take only a little from God. When we take little from Him for our needs, we must be taking from somewhere else. This means that our faith is in someone or something else and God is just a standby or last resort. That should not be the case. God should always come first. Man will fail and disappoint you, but God will never! Typically, most of us are not good receivers. When you give someone a gift, you often hear them say, Oh no, you shouldnt have. I dont deserve this. We all need to ask God to make us better receivers, to enlarge our capacities to receive not based on how deserving we think we are, but based solely on His grace to supply and give.
you tell God to stop supplying. You decide. As your loving heavenly Father, God gives lavishly and freely to you. And He can do this judiciously because of His Sons finished work at the cross. God does not give with a miserly hand. He is not cheap or stingy. God loves you and His love gives. His love over-supplies. Your part is just to exercise faith by taking from God. People often say, Depend on God. Depend on God. Sometimes, this sounds a bit abstract. How do you depend on God? You choose to see His loving heart and generous supply when others see only the demand. And you reach out in faith and take from God. When you realize that its all about Gods love and undeserved favor toward you, youll be thanking God all the time. Instead of complaining and being stressed out when you are demand-centered, youll be at rest and have more than enough to give to others. My friend, may you choose to live in the realm of Gods constant supply and lavish love! Copyright Joseph Prince, 2010. All rights reserved.

While taking a break at work during the night shift, I watched you preaching grace at 5am. Until I began learning the truth of Gods grace, I honestly lived in fear that I could lose my salvation. Since I discovered your ministry, I have become free from the talons of legalism. I recently ordered and received the Unshakable series of sermons. Your testimony and teaching on Psalms 91 has been especially encouraging. I have a son who is a soldier. Hes already been to Afghanistan once and is scheduled to be deployed again in 2011. I told him to read Psalm 91 and he said, Mom, I read it all the time. When he first went, he was just 19 and was sent to replace a soldier who had been killed. The company he joined had 27 deaths over the year-long deployment. He was in a firefight nearly every day that he was there. He told me, I knew I was never alone. My son was in the cleft of the Rock. PRAISE GOD! God has used your teaching to answer several questions that I had and to encourage me. Thank you for being obedient to His call on your life. It has made an explosive impact on mine.

God has completely changed my life in many ways through your book Destined To Reign. But here is one way that really stands out to me. My mom and I have not had a good relationship since I was about 11 or 12 years old. I am 45 now. I can only remember a few times that she ever told me that she loved me. It was so rare for her to say that that I had a running joke with one of my sisters about it. I would always make sure that I said, I love you, to my mom whenever I ended a phone conversation with her, just to see if she would say it back to me. Sometimes, I dont know if I even meant it. It just became some sort of a test for her. She never said it back. So every time after talking to my mom on the phone, I would call or text my sister to say, Well, my mom still doesnt love me, and we would laugh. While reading Destined To Reign, God showed me that the reason my mom was such a hard person was the same reason I was one myself. She had never been taught about grace. The Lord led me to pray differently for her than I had in the past. I asked Him for a revelation of His love for her like I was experiencing while reading your book. The very next time I spoke with her she said, I love you too, just before we hung up, which might not sound like much to most people, but it meant the world to me! I am planning a trip to see her for her 80th birthday and I am actually looking forward to spending time with her, instead of it being a duty like it has seemed in the past. I have great hopes for the future of our relationship and I am continuing to believe for my moms later years to be better than all her younger ones put together! This is just one of the many things God is restoring to me through your teachings. I know God gets all the praise, but I just want to thank you for getting His message out there!

Healed After Taking Holy Communion
I stumbled on your program on Trinity Broadcasting Network when you were preaching in Singapore. I watched and listened closely as you led your congregation in the partaking of the Holy Communion. Wow! Since then, I have no longer been the same! Praise God! I got so much insight on what the Holy Communion is all about, and even got healed from a very serious illness after taking Holy Communion while watching the proceedings on television. Hallelujah!

I am a pastors son and was raised in a Christian environment my whole life. I was very rebellious in my teen years and even into my early twenties. I am now 25 and find myself captivated by Gods amazing grace! Today, I am preaching Gods grace (inspired by Joseph Prince Ministries) in my church. I cant get enough of His grace and this ministry has been such a blessing to me, especially Josephs book, Destined To Reign. Even my sister who is handicapped was just healed of a polyp in her ear. After reading the book and listening to Joseph every day, I was so confident that the Lord would heal her even after I heard the doctors diagnosis. My mother and I laid hands on her and she was healed! The CAT scan came back showing no polyp! Praise God! I cant thank God enough for this ministry. It is much needed in the body of Christ. I call it a GRACE AWAKENING! HALLELUJAH! Joshua Holohan | New York, USA
Back in college, I was a computer addict. I even stole money from my parents to fund my addiction. But when I started listening to your messages about Gods love and mercy toward me, and learned that my sins were already punished at the cross on Jesus, and that God forgives me despite all my mistakes, the addiction just left! Now, the passion I had for computer games has been changed to a passion for touching, via the Internet, peoples lives with your messages of grace and hope. I have experienced tremendous favor wherever I go. I remember that at work, my boss wanted me to become the next QA (quality assurance) officer even though there were others who were more qualified than me. Another time, sore-eyes broke out in the office but I was not affected. I praise and thank God for raising preachers and teachers like you. I believe that God will continue to prosper you and your family and keep you healthy and whole for the coming years. Grace and peace be multiplied to you once more! Hallelujah! Praise the name of Christ Jesus! Robert Busalla | Philippines
