welcome today to our midweek bible study called morning glory today we want to do something a little bit different not so much an extensive teaching today but i felt strongly led of the holy spirit to pray for those who need employment i know that with the covet 19 there are many people that lost their jobs or were laid off from work and they were spun into a cycle of unemployment and some of them haven't pulled out of it yet praise god so today if you're watching this program and you need a job i want to pray for you because the lord wants you to be up and working praise god now i have prayed for many people over the years who are in dire straits of not having a job and the bills were climbing and climbing and climbing how many how many of you just know that even if you don't have a job the bills they don't take a break their job is to keep on coming and somehow they're able to do that so the lord doesn't want you to fall behind the lord wants you blessed he wants you employed praise god and so over the years i've been able to pray for many people who did not have work and often those that really needed a job breakthrough it's not like they hadn't been trying they had put out job applications and they had visited many places of employment but nothing would turn up for them praise god my friends the lord has a way of making a way when it would seem that doors are closed god is a delivering god god is a good god let's just cover a few things about work and then i want to pray for anybody that would be watching who doesn't have a job but you want a job and you mean business with god and you're ready for the miracle to happen i want to pray that a miracle breakthrough will take place in your life and that you'll get employed very very quickly in a very good job who praise the lord hallelujah now exodus chapter 34 let's drop down to verse 21 the scripture says six days you shall work but on the seventh day you shall rest in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest so god looks at this from the perspective of a seven day week that's how he designed it he set it up he created it and out of the seven days he said six days you can work and work is a great blessing from the lord i'm telling you that there is something major void and missing from your life if you're not gainfully employed praise the lord and out of the seven one of those days needs to be set aside so that you can rest and recuperate and refresh not just physically but also you need that mentally and you also need it spiritually praise god so six days you shall work let's move over now to the new testament ephesians chapter 4 verse 28. now i'm not really going to go into a teaching today we do a lot of teaching on the wednesday morning sessions today is more of a special prayer service i've felt strongly inspired by the holy spirit to do this today and i know that the anointing of the holy spirit is upon it and there will be breakthroughs no question about it praise god but i just want to give a few scriptures to stir your heart to believe god and the see the blessing and dignity of work praise the lord thank you jesus ephesians chapter 4 verse 28 let him who stole steal no longer but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good that he may have something to give to him who has need this is an amazing statement inspired by the holy spirit that the apostle paul has recorded for us here let him who stole steal no longer why do certain people get into the vice into the crime of stealing or theft i'll tell you one reason why is because they have too much time on their hands they're not working usually a job and most of these types of crimes are committed by people that are not working full-time and so an idle mind becomes the devil's workshop and they get into trouble they get in the mischief but paul through the guidance of the holy spirit gives instruction of how that can be turned around let him who stole steal no longer so stop the stealing now i have a strong feeling in my heart that those of you that are watching it's not like you have a problem with stealing or theft or anything like that you stay clear from all of that and you're serving the lord but you still need the job breakthrough i'm going to get to you in just a moment let him who stole still no longer but rather let him labor in other words let him go to work praise the lord and i believe that's a great solution to so many of our young people who find themselves getting into trouble doing things they shouldn't be doing wandering in to scenarios that take them down the wrong road if only they had been employed instead it would have been a different picture so i believe that work is a great means of rescue for the younger generation praise the lord i don't think it's good even for high school students to sit around all summer and watch tv or just float around and not do anything go get a job during the summer and begin to mature begin to grow to begin to develop real life skills praise the lord hallelujah it's good to stay busy rather let him labor let him go to work yes let him go to work then he won't have time to get in trouble let him go to work and put 12 hours in six days a week you'll come home and be so tired you'll be too tired to sin you'll be too tired to steal not only that you won't want to anymore praise god because now you're blessed now we can understand why somebody if they are hungry they have no food they have no money well you could understand why somebody might be tempted to steal food but you know what the person that's got plenty of food got a refrigerator loaded full of it has a walk-in pantry with all kinds of you know canned food and noodles and all kinds of stuff like that and all kinds of other things they don't need to go out and steal any food they've got all the food they could want praise the lord work cures many of the eels and many of the sins that pop up in society let him who stole steal no longer but rather let him labor working with his hands look don't be afraid to get your hands dirty praise the lord some jobs can be dirty jobs but they can pay really good too at the same time hallelujah thank you jesus rather let him labor working with his hands what is good don't take a job that defiles your conscience whoa uh pastor steven that job pays really good well what kind of work is it well it's a printing press well uh what are you printing over printing pornographic material no no no there's a million other jobs you can take you don't need to go do something like that um see stick with the word rather let him labor working with his hands what is good if it's not good your hands don't need to be on it think about that praise the lord well pastor stephen that's that's the only jobs that are out there right now no that's not true that's a lie of the devil see i live in north carolina and in north carolina there's a lot of tobacco growing around here and you got some christian folk they say well you know that's the only people that are hiring right now the tobacco producers i'll go work for them oh and contribute to millions of people getting cancer is that a good job with your hands hallelujah god will provide for you a good job a good job not something that kills somebody prematurely not something that inflicts pain and misery upon somebody know something that's good whoa praise the lord and trust me there are many good jobs out there let him labor working with his hands let him labor praise god there is something beautiful about labor it does something in you it develops you and it releases all the talent and ingenuity and genius that god put on the inside of you thank you jesus let him labor working with his hands what is good that he may have something to give him who has need can you imagine the complete turnaround of a person at one point was a thief paul said let him who stole still no longer the complete 180 of a person who was a thief going from a place of stealing and saying i'm not doing that anymore i'm going to live for the lord and they get a good job and they work a job with their hands now not only are they not stealing but now they are employed they have money for themselves and look at this they have money now to give to those who are in need that is the blessing of work and god is the one that created work and god's not afraid of work either six days he worked when he created the world when he created man and he rested on the seventh god's not afraid of work work is from god work is a good thing work produces dignity in your life praise the lord when you have a job and that creates dignity you don't have to beg you don't have to grovel you don't have to you know sit there and look for a handout you're no longer looking for a handout your needs are met you are looking to distribute you're not looking to receive you are now looking to give whoo praise the lord what a blessing that work is that him who stole still no longer but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good that he may have something to give to him who has need giving is one of the highest expressions of love for god so loved the world that he took no that he gave god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life so my friends it is a great blessing it is a great expression of love to be able to give but to give you've got to be in the place of the overflow and god wants you to have a job a job that provides enough not just to meet the needs but also gives you the ability to sow seed praise the lord the ability to give thank you lord jesus praise god praise the lord hallelujah glory to god glory to the lord glory to the lord hallelujah praise god now one time i was ministering in long beach california and there was a man there in the church who didn't have a job and i was made aware of that he had nine children and he was under pressure because the bills they just don't go away they'll still find you even if you don't have a job so he's under pressure he doesn't have a job and he hasn't had one now for several months so the pressure cooker situation was very intense well i prayed for him and i prayed for others there in the meeting that night that they would get a miracle job breakthrough and the anointing of the holy spirit was released and he contacted me through email just shortly thereafter and he told me that he got a job as a longshoreman and that is a type of a job that is very hard to get it's almost like you have to inherit it or have somebody like you so much because you're in the family or you are related to somebody who's already in that organization because as an outsider it's going to be very very hard to get in well he got in they hired him and the first thing they told him you're on full time and you can work all the overtime that you want wow so he went from a place of great lack to landing a dream job for him that would be a career-type job that instantly brought relief financially to his family and then also was a path to prosperity going forward in the future praise the lord god has something good for you he has a good job for you and you need to use your faith to go get it hallelujah as you go after it it's going to be coming after you and somehow in the middle you and that job you're going to connect praise the lord but as you release your faith faith always has corresponding works you need to be looking you need to be active if you do not have a full-time job your full-time job is looking for a full-time job praise the lord hallelujah i talked to a man this was about oh when i when i first met him i talked to him he told me he he didn't have a job he was looking for work uh three years went by i saw him again he told me he was still looking for a job i knew something wasn't right ten years went by i saw him again still no job something's wrong and it's been now i think 17 years and he's never had a job yes something's definitely wrong well pastor stephen you know they're just not hiring out there no no there are people hiring trust me if 17 years has gone by you're not doing something right you're sitting around and you're being a loafer and i'll tell you what he was doing he was letting his wife who had a good job carry the whole financial load and that was wrong you know he's not like it's not like they're raising kids and he's going to take care of that and send this kids to school and take care of the kids though they didn't have any kids he's just sitting around not doing anything telling people he's looking for a job he wasn't looking for a job he's just being lazy and paul also said the man that will not work neither let him eat hmm that's what his wife should have said hey i'm doing all the work in here and you're sitting over there watching tv all day she said she should have said you're not you're not going to eat any more of the food until you go out and get a job wow what a sad excuse for a man praise the lord now that's why i'm telling you work brings dignity praise god because you could bring home some bacon as they say you can bring home some money not from a handout that mama daddy gave you not from a handout but from something that you earned your own toil your own sweat your own labor and energy you you earned it there's dignity in it and you come home with it you make purchases you buy things you pay for things you take care of things and you have extra to give to those who are in need your days of unemployment they're coming to a rapid conclusion god wants you to have a great job now i often get emails from people asking me to pray for them for work and me and pastor kelly we pray for them and i can't even tell you how many times they go out and get these amazing jobs now yes we pray but they're still going to seek but so often what has happened is they've been seeking and there's no breakthrough but when they say hey please pray well we have an anointing for breakthrough jobs praise the lord we have an anointing for that and they'll go out after that prayer and they'll look and boom they'll get a breakthrough and they'll land a really good job and i believe if you don't have a job right now and you're ready to go you connect with this anointing god's gonna give he's gonna help you get a great job praise the lord here is the most recent testimony and we get these on a regular basis here's one that came in today praise the lord good morning pastor stephen and pastor kelly my name is grace from zambia i have communicated to you before sending prayer requests and also testifying i would like to testify to the glory of god last month i sent a request for prayer for my husband who had applied for a job with the un i would like to let you know that my husband and she gives his name was offered a job with the new with the u n in new york city we shall be relocating in march next year this includes the entire family of seven i don't even know what words i can use to thank god and to thank you for everything indeed it is a miracle that no one can understand only god himself look i'm telling you we get emails like this on a regular basis of people that don't just get a breakthrough with a job i'm telling you they get breakthroughs with really really good jobs i would even call them dream jobs i'm about ready to pray for you she says pastor stephen please share this testimony to encourage someone that's out there praise the lord and she said god bless you your sister in christ grace hallelujah praise the lord i feel the anointing to pray for those that need a miracle breakthrough job thank you jesus hallelujah hallelujah some of you you know no longer going to have to call up that uncle that unsaved uncle and ask him if you can borrow another four hundred dollars you're not gonna have to do stuff like that you're not gonna have to go groveling to family members uh can you cover can you cover me for six hundred dollars i i don't i still have a job and got all these but you have to stop god's gonna eliminate that out of your life he's gonna eliminate it out of your life you're gonna have a good job now let me say this to the believers to the christians god is a covenant keeping god remove any excuse from your vocabulary that god cannot get you a job in this economy remove any excuse out of your mind that would say well you know companies are laying off that's not true there's plenty of companies that are hiring good ones paying good wages there is a job for you only the devil would suggest to you that there's not work out there that is an absolute lie hallelujah remove all such excuses out of your thinking and out of your belief system right now god is a covenant keeping god god's covenant overrides all prevailing circumstances that are out there god's covenant prevails over all of that other stuff god's got a job for you god can plug you in with really good income glory glory to god praise the lord hallelujah now this is what the lord also shares with me the goodness of god the love of god is for all the world i'm going to pray for those that are watching and for those that will believe that god will give you a great job i'm going to even pray for unbelievers that if you're watching me and you don't even know the lord but you're somehow watching this program and you're like wow well that would be cool if god is real well then god will do it for me i'd like to see it happen i'm going to pray for you praise the lord because the love of god reaches out beyond the wall of the church and it goes out into the world and it's the kindness of god that touches the hearts of those that don't know him it's god's kindness that draws them to repentance praise the lord i have a relative and when me and my wife go to visit him and his family and let's say we're having a barbecue in his backyard which we do at times there's an orange tree that is in the neighbor's backyard so my relative and his neighbor their backyards they butt up to each other and what separates it is a six foot tall wooden fence so the neighbor has an orange tree in his backyard but the orange tree over the years it got so big that the branches the branches came over the fence from his property into my relative's property and so whenever i go over for a barbecue there in the backyard i just walk over there to where that branch is at and i take a couple of oranges off and i just eat them while we're stacking and waiting for the grill to get heated up and that's perfectly fine to do why because it's over here now on my relative's property now if i climbed over the fence and went into the neighbor's backyard start taking oranges off of his tree that's wrong that's trespassing but the branch went over the wall and it gave me access to grab fruit and that's not only understandable and it's totally fine but it's even legal praise the lord which is very important so the kindness of god the love of god extends over the wall of the church and even for an uh a person that would be lost in their sins not knowing christ yet if they will attach their faith and believe god god will do a miracle for them that's the goodness of the lord so i'm about ready to pray and i'm going to pray for the people of god and i'm going to pray for anybody that's listening even if even if you don't know the lord buddhist hindu muslim but you have no job and you're desperate and you need a job i believe that the lord jesus christ will demonstrate his love to you and he'll help you find a fascinating wonderful satisfying job that will bring dignity into your life hallelujah you can thank him later let him prove himself to you let him prove his goodness to you praise the lord father we give you praise father we bring your word before you you said six days we shall work that's our assignment six days we're to work but we're at

for the believer they have a covenant but at the same time they have to use their faith so let them use their faith and father for the person that would not be saved but yet they don't know you but

that there would be forgiveness in repentance that would be turned from father if there has been any form of theft at work perhaps not so much stealing money or stealing office supplies or something like that usually that's not the case but if there has been the theft of time where time was put in on the clock but work was not performed if the break was a 10 minute break but the break was that was taken was for 40 minutes that is a form of theft father if such things have taken place let there be repentance and thank you for the flow of the blood of jesus to cleanse from those types of sins and father as paul said let us work a good job with their hands if there have been those who have worked jobs that have not been good with their hands let them move into a career a work that they can feel good about and that will not violate their conscience thank you father god we give you praise and i pray father there would be nobody that would compromise their morals or their principles for a paycheck thank you father god thank you father the lord's really dealing with somebody right now who's done just that very thing and you know what you're doing is not right but the pay is really good

thank you let there be no form of theft or compromise in our lives thank you father now father we thank you also for the scriptural fulfillment of where it says that he may have something to give to him who has need we thank you father that denotes overflow regardless of what the climate might be financially we thank you that we will always have more than enough to give to those who may have need
