El Shaddai, the God That Is More Than Enough!

Exodus 6:1-9; Amos 8:11-13; 1 Peter 2:2-3; Isaiah 55:1-2; Matthew 5:6; Exodus 3:2; Matthew 4:4; John 6:35, 47-49; Psalm 40:17; Isaiah 59:1; Proverbs 8:21; Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 6:19-20; Isaiah 54:1-3

We are walking in today:  El Shaddai, the God That Is More Than Enough!


Exodus 6:1-9 1) Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. 2) And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 3) And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 4) And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 5) And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 6) Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7) And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  8) And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.  9) And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.  Moses is going to the children of Israel, in Egypt to preach a sermon of hope to them.  God says that He is going to lead them out of bondage.  He commands Mosses to go to the Pharaoh and demand the people's release.  The 10 plagues were about to begin, but the Israelites upon hearing the words of Moses, hearkened not in their suffering.  They doubted God's plan.  God however had said to Moses that He would keep His word.  He gave him confidence and remembrance of the covenant--in verse three.  These great miracles would be accomplished because He is Jehovah, the I AM the Self Sufficient One, the Everlasting God.  And as He revealed Himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: He is the Almighty God--El Shaddai!  The source of all blessings.  A God who is more than enough!  He would deliver them from Egypt by whatever means necessary.  Because, whatever means that were necessary were not outside of His ability.  Jehovah is the I AM.  El Shaddai is the more than enough God!  He is telling us, I AM more than enough!  He is still El Shaddai.  You can know it, you can try Him.  He is more than enough!  When hungry taste Him and He will please your spirit.  Amos 8:11-13 11) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12) And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.  13) In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.  1 Peter 2:2-3  2) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:  3) If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  Isaiah 55:1-2 1) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2) Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.  Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.  There is spiritual famine in the land today, but there is bread for the hungry.  Exodus 3:2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.  Matthew 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.  John 6:47-49  47) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.  48) I am that bread of life. 49) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  He is El Shaddai, He is the bread of life!  In your trials, test Him--He will pass every test.  In Exodus 14, the Red Sea experience, the children of Israel were learning that God would pass the test!!  1 Kings 19, when Elijah called down fire from heaven--the people were there testing El Shaddai and Baal.  El Shaddai was and is more than enough to pass the test.  In Judges chapter 6, Gideon tried Him and God passes the test!! He passed the smoke test and the lion test in the book of Daniel.  He passed the test of the cross and the ages.  And He is not slack of His promises.  He is more than enough.  For your family, trust Him, He will provide--your every need.  When you are in poverty, 2 Kings 4, the pots of oil; when you are pleading, 2 Samuel 21, for the children.  When you are pressed, Genesis 20:22--Abraham and Isaac, children don't always understand, God will provide a way to demonstrate to them His provision.  Your heartbreak, tell Him and He will hear your prayers.  When you can't fix things yourself.  When it is all out of your control.  When it is like Hagar in Genesis chapter 21--weeping in the wilderness.  You have to put it out of your hand, into His hand.  Call on God, He will hear your cries.  When you are going down into the pit--He will incline His ear to hear you. (Psalm 30)  Psalm 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.  Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hearEl Shaddai, is more than enough!!
Think about this, when you call on God today, He is our more than enough God--El Shaddai!  He is the Almighty God!  In this passage, He is getting ready to set the captives--the children of Israel free.  He is the God of more than one way out!  Turn it over to Him, walk in your God given authority--He is more than enough!  If He doesn't do another thing for us, He has done more than enough!  We have to really look at this, because in this culture we are always looking for more, the best deal or value--stop looking with your natural eyes!!  Look at this thing spiritually--if God had not came to redeem us, wash us in His perfect blood and teach us the good and right way, we would reap all that our flesh has earned.  Take a moment to think about where you will end up without being in Christ, covered and washed in the blood.  God, You have done so much all ready!!  Stop looking to the material things, collect and treasure the spiritual treasures that He gives--fruit of the spirit, a closer walk with Him.  The things of the world will burn up--do you have treasures in a sure place? 
Proverbs 8:21(AMP) That I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.  We are the seed of Abraham, trust and believe in the promises that God has given us!  Matthew 6:19-20 19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.  We trust and believe that we can breathe, even though we can't see the air.  Because of His heir we are redeemed.  So we have something in the natural that follows the pattern from the spiritual.  The unseen is just as real as the seen.  You don't go around in a panic because you can't see the air and are holding your breath until you can?  So why are we holding out on God.  He has sent His word to guide, heal and deliver us.  We must not be slack in our study, seeking and searching of His word.  That is where we find the answers.  That is where He speaks to us!  You can't say that God is not speaking when you won't go to where He speaks!  You won't here what God has to say if you don't go where He dwells!   That is like saying that you can't hear the radio when it is turned off--of course not!!  Seek Him in His word, go where to His house where He dwells and hear from Him!!   Hebrews tells us what happens when we believe and are seeking Him--chapter 11 verse 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  There is a reward for those that seek after Him.  Guess what the reward is?  Him!!  Our more than enough God!!  That should give you so much confidence for what ever you are facing, fiveamprayer!! Stand believing on His word, the word that He watches over to perform, that will not fail--that same word you are eating daily and meditating on!  Hallelujah!  That total trust leads us back to the God of more than one way!  Fiveamprayer He is our El Shaddai, He keeps us in perfect peace with our minds stayed on Him!  He is our El Shaddai, He has made us more than conquerors, more than victorious!  He is our El Shaddai, He is the maker of a way out of no way.  We must stop putting Him in a box.  There is no box that is big enough to contain Him!  He is so high and above!  When we put God in a box, we limit what He can do in our lives.  Because we are only believing Him for what can fit in that box.  Isaiah 54:1-3 1) Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. 2) Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 3) For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.  We are the ones who must stretch to allow God to break forth on the right and on the left.  There is nothing that He can't do--never approach your situation with what you can do--look to Him who can do all things, has all sufficiency, is the creator of the universe.  What better resume is there?!  He is our Source, our Provider, our All in All--step back and let God be God!  Our God is Omnipotent--almighty!  Our God is omnipresent, present in all places and times.  What better source could you ask for, being in total control of everything and seeing everything from the past, present and future, all over the world!!  That is why there is no lack in Him, He has all power and sees all things in all places!!  Nothing is hid from His watchful eye!  He is our more than enough God!!  Hallelujah!  Trust and believe, He can do it!  Cast off your flesh, walk in the spirit!    He is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Emmanuel, He knows the plans that He has for us!  His grace is sufficient.  Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.  All things are working for the good of those that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.  He is our God of more than enough!!  We shall bless the Lord and His praises are to be continually in our mouths.  Call on Him, late in the midnight hour--He has more than enough to get you through, pull you through, to get you out.  We are no longer looking to man, we are only looking to Him!  He is a healer and has promised to never leave nor forsake us!  He is our friend, He is more than enough.  Fiveamprayer is calling on El Shaddai, fill us to the overflow!  You are the way out of no way!!  You promised us and we are calling on El Shaddai!  Some of us are having a wilderness experience, He is our peace, joy--more than enough!  Overflow blessings.  When we speak Your words, it is a sweet savor to Your ears.  God is saying He is more than enough!  He will provide and make a way for us!  He is that He is!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!  God that is more than enough.  We lift up fiveamprayer to know that You, Lord are more than enough for all of us and in every situation!  We must take God out of the box, stretch your faith, fiveamprayer!  Believe Him for all things, there is nothing too hard for God!  We lift up Yalonda Moore we know that You are a healer.  That by Your stripes she is already healed.  Lord we ask that You would touch her body, bringing healing and wholeness.  Lord we come to ask for forgiveness for getting in the way and thinking that we are god.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation.  Teach us Lord, how to forgive like You!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  
El Shaddai, is our more than enough, knows the end from the beginning and the only one who can speak a word in our lives and situations. 

Welcome to the overflow...

We give You all the glory and all of the praise!  We know You are, our way out.  We don't doubt You, You are more than enough!  You thought it was over--it ain't over until God says it is over!  Hallelujah!  Whatever you need, He is more than enough!  For your ministry, your marriage, He is the Provider--more than enough.  All of the struggles financially can be there to teach you patience--God is the Provider, not the money.  Where is your mind?  On God or the money?!  We are gonna be more than alright, we serve the God of more than enough!!  When Jesus feed the 5,000 all were satisfied and they picked up 12 baskets that were left over, sounds like more than enough, to me!!  God is telling us that that He is the great I AM and that He is more than enough!  We serve a no limit God!!  So stop putting limits on Him!!  As Pastor Taffe has taught, we set the limits in our faith, and God meets us right where we set our faith!!    The same thing with needing all of the information and being able to see to go along and walk in His directions.  That is a limit that you are setting.  God does not give us a promise that we will fully understand the total plan and have full disclosure of everything that will happen on this walk!?!   He is looking for those that will trust, believe, and walk as He directs!!  God is not required to check in with you to see if you accept His plans.  You have made you own plans and how has that worked out!?  No more failure, get with the winning team, God's team!  So no more setting limits, asking if God can do this?  How strange, He tells us that nothing is too hard for Him, so where does that ' if ' come from?  That is doubt and everything else that is attached with it trying to put you off the path, to consider (wrongly) another way or option.  Without God there is no  other option to life eternal, being redeemed and washed in the blood.  This plan is all set up by Him, there is no going around Him!!  He watches over His word to perform it.  None of His words shall return void, they will accomplish all that He sent them to do!  Thank You God!!  He gave us some spiritual weapons of mass destruction in our prayer conference last year!!  Why are you not picking up your sword and swinging it to cut down those traps of the devil?!  The devil is still a liar, he is the father of all lies.  Thank You Lord, for letting us know that we are to pursue and conquer.  Be encouraged, fiveamprayer we serve a no limit God.  No limits, no boundaries...Time to take the limits off of our El Shaddai, He delivers us out more than one way and is more than enough!!  Walk in this one today!!  Be a doer of the word not a hearer only!  He is more than enough!!  Visit us on facebook and take time to read the scriptures for yourself.  Have a blessed day!
