MULTIPLIED PROVISION

Luke 8:9 
"And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this 
parable be?" 

You have just returned from an unsuccessful night of 
fishing. Don't be discouraged for you have done 
nothing wrong. You have taken your wisdom and your 
experience and have applied it with great skill. In 
times past you have gone out with your net to the 
right location and have had great success, but this 
morning the boat is empty. 

I tell you that I am doing a new thing. Overcome 
discouragement and listen to the voice of the Lord 
with great clarity and joy, for you are about to 
experience a MIRACLE. 

Push the boat out into the shallow water just off the 
shoreline; cast the net one more time on the opposite 
side of the boat and trust Me. Your steps of obedience 
will produce a harvest of BLESSING. Delight will 
overcome you, and joy will cause you to shout out to 
your brothers and sisters that the MULTIPLICATION has 
come, and you shall request their assistance, for the 
increase in the HARVEST has arrived. 

So rejoice and give thanks to the Lord, for He is 
about to produce to a MULTIPLIED BLESSING in your 
life. 
Luke 8:10 
"And he said, Unto you it is given to know the 
mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in 
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing 
they might not understand."
