Are You Grateful for God’s Provision in Every Season?

Friday, November 28, 2025

Summary

Dr. Tony Evans teaches that God alone is our ultimate source, while jobs, bank accounts, and employers are merely resources He uses. When dry seasons occur and familiar provisions dry up, God is often shutting down idols and preparing to move us toward a new, supernatural provider. By putting God first and stepping out in active faith to help meet others' needs, we open ourselves to God's miraculous cycle of provision.

Key Points

1.When God allows things to dry up in your life, it is because He is moving you to a different provider and executing a different plan.
2.God directly confronts idolatry by removing unauthorized sources of provision that take His rightful place in our hearts.
3.God is your only true source; your job, employer, and bank account are merely temporary resources and mechanisms He uses.
4.Never box God in, because He can use unconventional, natural, or supernatural means to bring heaven's provision to you.
5.Being fully in God's will does not make you immune to dry seasons, societal downturns, or temporary financial strain.
6.God often tests your faith by directing you to places or people you would not naturally prefer or understand.
7.The secret to divine provision is to become a provider for someone else who needs what you need, allowing God to cycle blessing back to you.
8.True faith requires physical action and obedience rather than passive acknowledgment.

Sermon Moments

“When God allows things to dry up in your life, it is because He's moving you to a different provider.”

“God attacks Israel at the place of their idolatry... Whatever you are worshiping... don't be surprised when God shuts it down.”

“That ought to tell you that God can use hell to bring heaven to you. See, you never want to box God in.”

“Your job is not your source. Your bank is not your source. Your employer is not your source. God is your only source. Everything else is a resource.”

“Don't let anybody tell you that if you're in God's will... that things don't still dry up.”

“The secret to your provision is to be a provider for somebody who needs what you need so that God can use what they need to bless them and return it back to you.”

“If I can ever get you and me and us to move in faith, not talk in faith, but to move in faith, then heaven opens up.”

This Week

Identify any temporary resource (job, savings, person) that you have relied on as your ultimate source instead of God.
When a current stream of provision dries up, ask God where He is redirecting your faith and focus.
Actively look for someone who needs encouragement or assistance in the exact area where you feel lacking.
Put God first in your giving and obedience, even when resources appear scarce or limited.
Remain open to how God chooses to answer your prayers, avoiding placing strict limits on His methods.
Choose to step out in tangible obedience to God's Word rather than remaining in fear.
Remind yourself daily during seasons of hardship that God remains in control of both natural and supernatural resources.

Remember This

God is your only source, and when He allows resources to dry up, He is redirecting you to a new channel of supernatural provision through active faith.

A Challenge for You

Will you be that unique person who moves in active faith so that God can supernaturally provide for you in every season?
