But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:10-13

In my last message, I shared how the Lord took me to a cemetery and asked me who I was going to serve, and I told Him, "You, Lord." At the time, I didn't know what all that would entail, but shortly after His visit, I went bankrupt for half a million dollars!
Coming out of a life of drug addiction, I was just about back on my financial feet, and now, bankrupt, with no job and no money! Another man I had met was a carpet cleaner, who was training me in deliverance, and he gave me a buffer with a tank on it and put me in his motor home and told me to clean the carpet! When I came out of there, I felt as though I had been whipped with an eggbeater!
The next several years were hard, cleaning carpet and mopping floors, but God was teaching me to live by faith, and my friend Milton was teaching me how to cast out demons! What a life! For the next forty-five years, God has supplied all of my needs and has never let me down, and He will also take care of you if you just ask Him!
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19,20
