When She Prayed for Thirty Dollars
God answers prayer … Let us trust him.
A Christian woman was in financial need.
She had been talking a good deal to the Lord about it.
Her income that month was thirty dollars.
.…
She began praying for the impossible, asking the Lord for thirty dollars more.
The next mail brought her a certain envelope.
She writes about it as follows: “I opened the envelope when my husband and I were at breakfast, and my eyes began to feel queer, so that I had to wink fast, and there was a big lump in my throat.
The envelope contained a check for $32.84, and instantly there was a little prayer in my heart, ‘O dear heavenly Father, I just can’t thank You enough.’
Why, it just seemed as if the Lord were sitting right by my table.”
Yes, but why say, “As if the Lord were?”
For the Lord was.
And he had been standing right alongside when she had asked for the impossible.
Nor is the Lord’s bank account all used up yet.
He has more checks, and his balance at the bank is large.
TRIED AND PROVED
Introduction: Background of the story, Jesus had already risen.
Most of your greatest battles will come after you have given your life to God.
The trying of our faith will have just begun.
When Our faith Is Blurred
It is more easier than most people actually think to slowly go back to the old way of thinking.
The time between Jesus resurrection until now is less than 40 days.
What about the miracles they saw and experience.
Living for God is a daily walk, not weekly or monthly or yearly.
Their profession is no longer fishers, or tax collection, or merchants or farmers, they are now followers of Christ, their profession CHRISTIANS.
Three and a half years of seminary training by the greatest
teacher this world will ever see, Dr. Jesus.
They Caught Nothing
Sometimes people graduate college with a business degree and flip burgers.
God call these men first of all, to major in Soulolgy, or the profession of winning souls for God to occupy Heaven Kingdom.
3.
They were still in God’s school, the school of hard knocks.
(This is a phase the means “sometimes painful”.)
Education one gets from life’s usually negative
experiences which often contrasted with formal
education.
Have Ye Any Meat?
What really was Jesus referring to, was this not only physical, but spiritual.
2. This morning what’s in your net?
1. Disappointments
2. Anxieties
3. Brokenness
4. Turmoil
Why Don’t You Cast Your Net On The Other Side This Morning?
Salvation is on the right side.
Healing is on the right side.
Provision is on the right side.
Comfort is on the right side.
Deliverance is on the right side.
153 Fishes
The Greeks greatest mathematician was Archimedes.
In his measurment of a circle he calculated the value of Pi.
It was his most useful, and therefore, his most infuential work.
The unusual number 153 figured most prominently in that work.
John Lived In A Greek Culture
John knew the Greeks wrongly believed the Gospel Jesus was foolishness and in contradiction to their wisdom.
John includes the detail of 153 fish in his gospel.
The Greeks would have immediately recognized how his use of the number 153 alluded to the wisdom and the work of their esteemed cultural hero, Archimedes and by extension to all Greek wisdom.
They knew John was claiming that Jesus, who is God, is the source of all wisdom.
The Net Did Not Tear
The same net which contains all the 153 fish, and by extension all the wisdom offered through Jesus to man, both the Greeks natural wisdom and Christian wisdom of revelation.
The one net does not tear because there is no inconsistency between these two types of wisdom.
The fact that Jesus already had some fish before the apostles came is indicative of the fact that He is not restricted to the wisdom that is revealed to man.
But, He is the source of all wisdom.
For He is the only God.
