Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today. I want you to know that Victoria and I are praying for you and your family this summer and just asking God to bring you more peace and joy and victory than you've ever seen before. Know that God's for you. He's got you in the palm of his hand, and I hope you enjoy the message today. God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, please stop by, be a part of one of our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. But I like to start with something funny. I heard about this single man. He'd been living at home with his elderly father who was very wealthy. He decided he needed to find a wife so he could enjoy the fortune he would inherit when his father died.
One evening at an investment meeting, he saw the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. She took his breath away. He said to her, I know I look like just an ordinary guy, but in a few years when my father passes, I will inherit hundreds of millions of dollars. Impressed, she took his business card. Three months later, she married his father. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today, I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you. I wanna talk to you today about supersized. Few years ago, I went to a fast food restaurant with our children.
We pulled into the drive-thru and placed our order. Just when I was about to pull up to the main window where you pay, the young lady said, would you like to supersize that? I didn't know what that meant. I asked her about it. She said, that means you'll get more French fries, a larger drink, a bigger hamburger. Instead of the normal portions, it will be supersized, bigger than expected. That's what God wants to do for you. His dream for your life is much bigger than your own. He's going to take you further than you're expecting. He's going to open doors that you could have never opened. He's going to give you more influence than you thought possible. Paul said in Ephesians three, God will do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think.
He's saying in today's language, God is going to supersize your life. Whatever you're dreaming about, whatever you're believing for, God's going to take that and make it bigger, better, more rewarding than you've ever imagined. Maybe your dream is to get out of debt, to be able to pay your house off. That's good, but God is going to supersize it. He's going to bless you in such a way that you can not only pay off your house, but you can help other people pay off their house. Where you don't just have enough for yourself, you have an abundance so you can be a blessing to somebody else. That's what happens when God supersizes. Your prayer may be for your son to get back on course. He's running with the wrong crowd, making decisions that are not good.
You'd be happy if he just got back to where he was. But when God supersizes it, he's not only going to bring him back to the right course, he's going to use him to help other people in that same situation. You're going to be amazed at the difference that your son will make. Maybe you're single. Your dream is to meet the right person. You have this specific criteria that you're looking for, these qualifications that you would be happy with. But when God supersizes it, he's going to bring you somebody better than you've imagined. That's what happened to me when I met Victoria in my early 20s. She exceeded my expectations. She was not only smart, talented, funny, beautiful, but she had the best taste in men.
She was a super-sized blessing. Your dream may be to work your way up to management, to one day lead that department. But when God supersizes it, you're not going to be working for that company. You're going to own your own company. You're going to look up and say, this is exceeding abundantly above anything I could ask or imagine.
