Overview: Main Theme and Purpose

This episode, titled "Delivered Daily," focuses on understanding God's process of deliverance—not as a one-time, dramatic event, but as a daily experience. Pastor Steven Furtick explores what it really means when we pray "deliver us from evil," drawing from Luke 11 (the Lord’s Prayer) and the Israelites’ journey from Egypt. The message encourages listeners to seek God’s help every day for provision, forgiveness, and freedom, reminding us that spiritual breakthroughs often come incrementally rather than instantly.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Significance of "Delivered Daily" (10:14, 12:30)

• The episode title comes directly from the Lord’s Prayer: “Deliver us from the evil one.”
• Pastor Furtick urges listeners to declare this over their lives, reinforcing that God can deliver us from any situation:
  • "Put that in the comments, please. Delivered daily. Say it out loud. Say delivered daily." (11:48)

2. God's Rescue: Not Always a Straight Line (14:50 - 16:00)

• Furtick recounts a touching encounter with a former military man who went from contemplating suicide to enjoying life with his daughter, emphasizing that deliverance is often a journey:
  • "I went from a gun in my mouth to watching my daughter play soccer." – Soccer dad (14:39)
• The journey from despair to hope is rarely linear. In between "from" and "to," there's always a "through."

3. The Daily Nature of God’s Provision (20:59 - 21:16, 33:25 - 38:36)

• In both the Lord’s Prayer and the story of manna in the wilderness, God provides what is needed for each day—be it food, forgiveness, or freedom.
  • "God is going to provide for you. But there’s going to be a condition on the provision… The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day." (37:12)
• Dependence on God cannot be substituted for dependence on His gifts; He structures provision so we return to Him daily.

4. The Israelites’ Pattern: Loops instead of Lines (29:30)

• Furtick draws parallels between us and the Israelites, who were delivered from Egypt but got stuck in the wilderness:
  • "Some scholars say it should have taken them three weeks to go through the desert. But they got stuck there for 40 years. Because what should have been a line… turned into a loop." (29:30)
• The tendency to "go back" is universal. Deliverance demands not just leaving the past, but also walking through tough interim spaces without returning to old habits.

5. Living in the ‘Through’ (30:37 - 32:34)

• Even after salvation or breakthroughs, believers will often face periods of difficulty or temptation to "go back."
  • "I am saved, I’m healed, I’m delivered, I’m redeemed… but on my way into the marvelous light, I am going through some darkness." (31:08)

6. Same Day Delivery: God’s Timely Help (38:50 - 41:27, 45:05 - 45:12)

• Furtick emphasizes, using the analogy of Amazon, that God provides exactly what and when we need:
  • "This is one thing God and Amazon have in common… They both do same day delivery." (40:35)
• Personal story: when Furtick’s son needed a sermon, God provided exactly what was needed in the moment, not before.

7. Freedom, Forgiveness, and Food: All Daily (46:54 - 48:47)

• Through close reading of the Lord’s Prayer, Furtick highlights that daily bread, forgiveness, and freedom all come with the same condition—they must be sought after daily:
  • "The same thing that is true about the food and the forgiveness is also true about the freedom. I need to be delivered daily." (48:47)

8. Breaking the Loop: Generational Chains (30:37 - 32:25)

• Deliverance is required daily to avoid being trapped by generational or recurring struggles. Furtick aims to empower listeners to break these cycles:
  • "I do not intend to get stuck in this same place my mama was in… I intend to break a generational chain in the name of Jesus." (31:28)

9. True Deliverance: God’s Glory in the Process (33:00 - 33:25)

• God’s purpose is not just to bring us out of hardship, but to gain glory through our stories and ongoing dependence on Him.

10. A Call to Repeated Return: Go Back to God (52:47 - 53:08)

• Listeners are encouraged to keep returning to God for their daily needs:
  • "Just like I can go back to him for provision, just like I can go back to him for forgiveness, I can go back to him and back to him and back to him. I don’t have to go back to Egypt. I don’t have to go back to Pharaoh. I can go back to my Father." (52:57)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "God can get you out of this." (Repeatedly, from 12:30 onwards)
• "It only took God 10 plagues to get his people out of Egypt. It took 40 years to get Egypt out of his people." (50:39)
• "The same daily bread, the same hand that gives me daily bread is for the daily battle." (53:00)
• "If God did it too quick, you would get through it, but he wouldn’t get glory from it." (46:09)
• "Deliverance isn’t always dramatic." (25:18)
• "Sometimes my chains start having baby chains… I leave Egypt, and here comes wilderness." (50:02)
• "If he fills your lungs with the next breath, then you say hallelujah. That’s your response." (38:54)
• "I’ve been wanting to go back to Egypt or I’ve been looking too far forward… God says, I want to do something in your life right now. But it’s going to be delivered daily. Daily." (46:05)
• "When you are tempted to go back, go back… to your Father." (48:47; 52:57)

Flow and Takeaways

The episode blends practical teaching, biblical exposition, and powerful storytelling, all reinforcing the fundamental truth:
Deliverance, provision, and forgiveness aren’t one-time events—God intends you to seek, trust, and receive from Him every day.
By rooting the message in familiar Scriptures and real-life testimonies, Furtick makes the case that although dramatic deliverances happen, most of God’s work in our lives is steady, incremental, and designed to bring us back to Him again and again.

"Delivered Daily" means God’s presence and power are available every day, not just in emergencies.

Final Encouragement

"When you pray, pray like this: Our Father… Give us this day our daily bread... Because the same daily bread, the same hand that gives me daily bread is for the daily battle." (53:00)

---

For those feeling stuck or cycling back to old patterns, this episode assures: God is not only able to deliver you—He desires to do it daily.

[Worship Leader]

We thank you for your cross, Jesus, the dividing line in history. I can never forget what you did for me. You split my life right in two. Before and after. I'm standing here today singing to your name. Because no other name gets the glory. Because no other God saves but you. You are able to do anything you want to do in this today.

[Worship Leader]

My Bible, which is the word of God, which I intend now for the next 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes to share with you. How many are ready for the word of God to be released into your life today?

[Stephen Furtick]

I'm wondering about some of y'.

[Podcast Host]

All.

[Stephen Furtick]

Some of y' all scare me when we're worshiping and you just have your arms crossed. I'm like, what in the world would.

[Worship Leader]

It take to get you to give God a praise? What would he have to do? Would he have to put breath in your lungs? Would he have to wake you up to see another day? Would he have to forgive you of your sins? 5, 3 People say he already did that. So I could do this, so I could praise him, so I could glorify him, so I can worship the King.

[Backup Singer]

Of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Hallelujah. From the front to the back, say Hallelujah. Lift your hands, say there's just something. There's just something about your name. There's just something about your name. There's just something about your name that makes me cry. Holy.

[Worship Leader]

Luke, chapter 11. Luke chapter 11.

[Stephen Furtick]

A familiar scripture for our Bible study today. Remain standing for the word of God. I want to welcome you from wherever this message is finding you. I pray that this word today finds you blessed. If not, maybe it'll leave you blessed when we get done. I found out God never leaves me.

[Worship Leader]

Like he found me. He meets me where I am, but.

[Stephen Furtick]

He loves me too much to leave me there. However you came in today, go ahead.

[Worship Leader]

And say goodbye to it right now because you are not returning to that.

[Stephen Furtick]

State of mind when you leave this church today in Jesus name.

[Worship Leader]

Are y' all all right if we.

[Stephen Furtick]

Just sing a bunch of new songs all month of September?

[Worship Leader]

All right, we're going to declare it new song September.

[Stephen Furtick]

Then we will culminate on September 26th.

[Worship Leader]

With a big old recording.

[Stephen Furtick]

Y' all are going to come in here singing at the top of your lungs. September 25th. If you come on September 26th, you're going to be singing solo.

[Worship Leader]

Solo.

[Stephen Furtick]

They can't hear you.

[Worship Leader]

I'm a happy man. I have a full phone.

[Stephen Furtick]

We have so many new songs to share with you and I thank God for it today. The word of the Lord comes from Luke chapter 11. And I thank him for the deposit and the download he gave me and I want to share it with you now just like he gave it to me. Luke, chapter 11. You'll recognize it once we get to verse number two. One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, lord, teach us to pray. Just as John taught his disciples. I'm going to read this. That was in the NIV version where I normally read. I'm going to read this in the new King James version because it's more familiar to many of us who heard it growing up. So if you're confused looking on your Bible, this is a little different translation than we normally use. He said to them, when you pray, say, our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Hallowed be your name. There is no other name. Your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. How many want God to do that for you today? Deliver me from the evil one. Deliver me. Deliver us from the evil one. I really read all of the scriptures to get to that part. Lord, deliver us from the evil one. The title of my message today is Delivered Daily. Delivered daily. Put that in the comments, please. Delivered daily. Say it out loud. Say delivered daily. Turn around and tell three people, God can get you out of this.

[Worship Leader]

Come on, tell them with some confidence and charisma. Tell them with some eye contact, say, God can get you out of this. Put it in the comments. I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's a financial mess. I don't care if it's a relational mess. God can get you out of this. If it's in a pit with a snowy day and a lion, God can get you out of this. If it's in a lion's den, God can get you out of this.

[Stephen Furtick]

We thank you, God, for your deliverance. Now in this place, in Jesus name, amen. You may be seated. I believe God can get you out of this. Well, you don't know what it is. You don't need to. I checked his resume. He got some people out of some stuff. Sometimes in the Bible, God can get you out of this. Maybe your mom can't. Maybe she's broke too, but God can get you out of this. Maybe your husband can't. Maybe he's depressed too, but God can get you out of this. Maybe your staff can't. Maybe they're overwhelmed too, but God can get you out of this. Maybe your business partner can't. Maybe he's worried, too, but God can get you out of this. Nobody said amen. All right, well, let me give you a testimony then, since you're going to do me like that today up here, I'm privy pastorally to a lot of people sharing more extreme situations than the average bear. People walk up to me and tell me stuff that, honestly, I don't have a license to hear. I mean, you get everything. And I mean everything. Everything. Don't we? Holly stand there eating an ice cream cone one time in downtown Charleston, and a lady came up crying. Holly was stuck because it's really hot outside, and she's like, do I? The other day, a man came up to me at Abbey's soccer game. He blessed my whole day, and he helped me figure out how I wanted to preach this message to you. He was very emotional when we met. He said, you don't know what this means to me. I never thought I'd get to tell you.

[Backup Singer]

You.

[Stephen Furtick]

Your ministry saved my life. I said, thank you, man. That means a lot. Praise the Lord. He said, no, you don't get it. You don't understand. I'm sorry. I'm former military, a lot of ptsd. My daughter is about to go up there and play soccer, man. I'm talking about. I went from a gun in my mouth to watching my daughter play soccer. So thank you, man. Then I gave him a bigger hug. I said, bro, the whole soccer season was worth me getting to meet you. He goes, yeah. I didn't know whether to come up at first. I didn't recognize you with your beard. That threw me because I hadn't had a beard for a minute. I had a beard for about a decade. I said, I thought you went to the church. I said, do you still go to the church now? We're laughing, right? We're laughing, and we already had our emotional moment, so I could pick on him a little bit. I said, bro, you ought to know I have a beard. You ought to have seen me since I had a beard. What happened? I wanted to bring my teaching screen because I think this is going to be the most helpful if I make it visual. If you think about what he shared with me when we met, it had a very dramatic sound to it. I believe God does miracles. I do believe that people flush the pills instead of swallowing them when God brings them out. I do believe that. I do believe that God can take away the taste for alcohol. And you say, I don't even know how I drink. It. It feels like urine in my refrigerator. Now I don't want it. I believe God can do that. Now. They're going to clip me for talking about urine in the refrigerator, but I'm good with it. The main thing I want you to know is that that God can get you out of this. But I want to be very careful with my summary. I believe the reason some of us are slow to applaud when I say it is because you've heard it before. And he did, and then it didn't. The way I saw it, as I was breaking down, what he said to me. He said, I went from a very low place, a horrible place, the worst place. I wanted to end my life from. The things I've been through and the things I can't forget now. God brought me to a much better place. Look at us out here on the soccer field. But that beard made me ask him what has been going on in between from and to. He said, well, I've kind of been going through some things. I realized that when God brings you from something. Zoom all the way out, team. I need you to get that screen. Thank you very much. When God brings you from something to something, it does not always feel like a straight line. Sometimes it takes you through a red sea that is even scarier than the slavery God brought you from. I realized that not only he, but everybody in this room today is not only going from something to something, but there is something you are going through as you are going to say from. No wonder Jesus told the disciples, when you pray, not if you pray. You better pray. And when you do pray like this, elbow your neighbor in their ribs and say, you better pray. Tell them, I looked at your TikTok. You better pray. I saw your Snapchat. You better pray. I met your wife. Don't say that to them.

[Worship Leader]

I met your kids. You better pray.

[Stephen Furtick]

Put it in the chat. You better pray.

[Worship Leader]

It is just not that simple. When God delivers you. You see how Jesus says it in verse three. I want to read it again. He says, but deliver us from the evil one. I was talking to another friend this.

[Stephen Furtick]

Week and they said, oh, I have.

[Worship Leader]

Great news about our friend.

[Stephen Furtick]

Our other friend was someone who had.

[Worship Leader]

Really, really damaged a lot of relationships and disappointed a lot of people. The amount of dysfunction and betrayal was.

[Stephen Furtick]

Incredible with this person.

[Worship Leader]

My friend was telling me, oh, it's all better now. They got delivered.

[Stephen Furtick]

I smiled, but I doubted it. I doubted it, and I felt bad that I doubted it.

[Worship Leader]

Why do I believe it when it's in The Bible. But I don't believe it when it's.

[Stephen Furtick]

Somebody who betrayed me. When Jesus talks about forgive them and.

[Worship Leader]

Freedom, there are three elements to this model prayer. We call it the Lord's Prayer. But it's really just Jesus pulling his disciples aside and saying, here's how you do it. When you pray, you want to know how to do it. You want to know how to avoid the things God wants to take you over. You want to know how to rise up above the things you're crushed up under. When you pray, pray like this. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done. So first it's about his priorities. But then when you start praying about provision, I want you to think in three terms.

[Stephen Furtick]

He uses food, he uses forgiveness, and.

[Worship Leader]

Lb, he uses freedom. He says, God is going to give you bread. God is going to give you the ability to forgive, and he's going to.

[Stephen Furtick]

Give you forgiveness for your sins. And you don't really get to experience.

[Worship Leader]

One without the other. So Jesus says, there's going to be food, there's going to be forgiveness. Then he makes this promise. He says, deliver us from the evil one. Now, when you were saved, you were not just saved by God through Jesus from your sins. You were saved to walk in the newness of life. I said, you weren't just saved from hell. It's not just so you won't pop like Orville Redenbacher's one day while a guy with a pitchfork stands over you. Burn, burn, burn. I'm not just saved from something that's going to happen one day. I am saved today to walk in the newness of life. Not one day when, but here and now. As a matter of fact, this is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. God saved me from. And God saved me to. But that does not negate the fact that I am going through. He told me I went from wanting to end my life to standing here with my daughter. But to be honest with you, this is what he said next. He said, I've been going back to some things.

[Stephen Furtick]

I've been going back. And I didn't embarrass him. I said, I get it. We all go back sometimes. I will embarrass you if you keep looking at me like you're so holy you never go back. Sometimes the Lord will give me the spirit of prophecy and I'll call out your sins so specific and I'll alphabetize them and I'll say them in Greek, I've been going back, he said.

[Worship Leader]

Well, that made me think not only.

[Stephen Furtick]

About the Lord's prayer where he said, deliver us from the evil one. And when he said, you should pray this, it made me think about the central story in the Old Testament to the people of God. Now, I want to give this to you as quickly as possible. How much do you know about Moses? Do you know that he lifted up his staff and parted the Red Sea? And the people went through. Okay, so you know that. Do you know that the people had to walk through walls of water on either side, probably terrified that they would collapse at any time? You know that when God brought them from Egypt to the promised land, they had to go through something to get there. They had to go through something they had never been through before and people normally didn't go through. The good news was they made it through. Their enemies didn't.

[Worship Leader]

The good news is God used what.

[Stephen Furtick]

They went through through to free them from what they would have been tempted to go back to.

[Worship Leader]

Is God using what you're going through? I believe he is. I believe that not only can God.

[Stephen Furtick]

Get you out of this.

[Worship Leader]

How many have been praying the prayer lately?

[Stephen Furtick]

God, get me out of this. In an area of your life, God.

[Worship Leader]

If you'll get me out of this.

[Stephen Furtick]

I promise, I promise I'll take notes.

[Worship Leader]

I promise I'll listen to elevation worship. I promise I'll listen. I promise, God, I promise. God, if that pregnancy test could just come. God, if you could just get me out of this, because I did not mean for it to be a lifelong commitment. God, get me out of this. I will never sign a lease again on a car that cost me $17,000 a month to look stupid. Driving down the road in traffic, people aren't paying attention, and I have ulcers. God, get me out of this. Get me out of this. God, if you will get me out of this. Then we were in the hospital with Elijah earlier this summer, and I'm like, God, if you get me out of this, I'll take the whole church on a mission trip. God, we'll go to India. I'll launch Elevation. Calf cut up. God, whatever you do, orphans, widows, beggars, whatever, bring them on. God, ten minutes after you get out.

[Stephen Furtick]

Of it, you're eating ice cream. Sometimes deliverance isn't always dramatic. That's what I want to say to you today. I think you've been discouraged because you've been thinking, oh, I thought I was through with this, but now I'm going back. If we Ask you, you'll share your testimony that you went from death to life. But sometimes. Where is my pen? Jesus. I put it on the thing. Yeah. Sometimes I find myself going back to what he brought me from. Don't you? I met a lady who was telling me she lost 80 pounds. I said, congratulations. She said, don't congratulate me so quick. I said, 80 pounds sounds like a reason to celebrate. She said, no, because 10 years ago I lost 110 and I put it all back on. I went back. No, no, no.

[Worship Leader]

That's not funny.

[Stephen Furtick]

I don't say that as a joke. I don't say that to shame her. We all have things we thought we were through with. We all have places we thought we had arrived to. But now I want to go back. Isn't it amazing? With the Israelites, It's a crazy story. God brings them from Egypt. They were enslaved for 430 years. They pray for God to bring them from that place. Deliver us, Lord. God sends a deliverer. They're in an interesting predicament. They are out of Egypt, but they have nothing to eat because they are going through the wilderness. Isn't that tricky when you're out of Egypt, but you have nothing to eat? If you go to Exodus, chapter 16, verses 2 through 4 gives us an interesting glimpse of what happens in our life.

[Worship Leader]

Somebody say, God, get me out of this.

[Stephen Furtick]

I know I'm asking you to multitask and look up the scripture at the same time. You say something, but say it again.

[Worship Leader]

God, get me out of this. Say, God, if you get me out of this, I'll give you all the glory. I'll tithe 25%.

[Stephen Furtick]

God, get me out of this.

[Worship Leader]

They prayed, right? They prayed for years and years. God, deliver us from Pharaoh. Pharaoh was the one who was making them make bricks without straw. Just get us out of this. God, if you get us out of this, we'll serve you. In fact, when they crossed over the Red Sea, they were shaking tambourines and singing about the horse. And the ride of the original diss track was sung by the prophetess Miriam in Exodus, chapter 15. That's a true story. Just after they made it through the sea, they found themselves not in Egypt. God delivered them from Egypt, but they are not yet to the promised land, and they have come through the Red Sea, but they are now in the desert and they are starving and they are hungry and they are uncomfortable and.

[Stephen Furtick]

They are disoriented because the desert is disorienting. It's not where you're Going, and it's.

[Worship Leader]

Not where you came from, and you.

[Stephen Furtick]

Don'T know what to do in this season. That can cause tremendous anxiety. So they begin to grumble.

[Worship Leader]

Look at Exodus 16:2, can I teach the Bible today? In the desert, the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, if only we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt. There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the carnivore diet we wanted. But you have brought us out from this land into this desert desert to.

[Stephen Furtick]

Starve this entire assembly to death. Today I'm speaking to somebody who feels like you are dying in a desert. You are not in the from. You are not in the to. You are in the through. God did some amazing things from you, and he delivered you from some evil things, some wicked things. But you kind of go back sometimes, don't you? You kind of go back. Some scholars say it should have taken them three weeks to go through the desert. But they got stuck there for 40 years. Because what should have been a line through the desert turned into a loop. And around and around they went, and around and around we go and go. God saved me, but I still struggle with that. God healed me, but I still have some pain from that. I forgave them, but I wanted to flip them off when I saw them the other day. And it came out of nowhere because.

[Worship Leader]

I had been praying for them. I was almost two. Come on, y', all, help me shout. I'll preach quicker. I'll have you out for lunch if you will help me shout. You know, there are some bondages that keep pulling you back because I'm not in heaven yet. I am saved, I'm healed, I'm delivered, I'm redeemed, I am cleansed. I am washed by the blood of the lamb. I'm a child of God. I'm the righteousness of Christ. And all of that is true. I am brought from the dominion of darkness and saved to the kingdom of his marvelous lights to declare the praises of him who brought me out out of darkness into his marvelous light. But on my way into the marvelous light, I am going through some darkness. I thought I was done with, but I wound up in this desert. And now I'm kind of hungry and I have nothing to eat. I'm kind of mad about it. I'm kind of wondering, would it be better for me to go back? But if I keep going back to what God saved me from, I'm going to spend 40 years, I'm going to spend a Whole lifetime. I've been going around this mountain long enough. I do not intend to get stuck in this same place my mama was in her mama was in that her daddy was in. I intend to break a generational chain in the name of Jesus. Chains break. Dry, bones wake. I do not intend to name every bone in the valley. I intend to go through it. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in grief. Green pastures. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. This is not a place for me to build a house. This is not a place for me to build an identity. This is not a place for me to lay down and die. I'm taking this gun out of my.

[Backup Singer]

Mouth and I shall live.

[Worship Leader]

God can get you out of this. Tell seven people God can get you out of this. God can get you out of this. God can get you out of this. I'm not telling you what I think. I'm not telling you what I feel. I'm telling you what I've seen. I'm telling you what I know. God can get you out of this.

[Stephen Furtick]

But he wants something more. When he does, he wants glory out of it. So the Bible says. They grumbled and we would, too. Y' all are kind of mad right now because I'm preaching a little long. There's air conditioning in this building and they're in the desert with nothing.

[Worship Leader]

Eat.

[Stephen Furtick]

And no idea where it's going to come from. Now watch this, because I am about to set you up even. I'm telling you that you're going to shout when I read this verse. But I am setting you up, so.

[Worship Leader]

I advise you not to shout when.

[Stephen Furtick]

I read the verse. But you're going to shout anyway because you're too good.

[Worship Leader]

Then the Lord said to Moses, I will rain down bread from heaven. For you see?

[Stephen Furtick]

Impossible.

[Worship Leader]

Try not to shout.

[Stephen Furtick]

Challenge. Did you hear what he said, Jethro? He said he's going to rain down bread from heaven. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is. He's going to rain down bread from heaven. Real quick. Gt they would have known this story when he was teaching it to the disciples. When he said, give us this day our daily bread, that triggered a memory for them, not one they lived through, one they heard about. Because they heard about how the Israelites went through the Red Sea from Egypt to Canaan, through the Red Sea. The Egyptians drowned. They didn't got in the desert, wanted to die. And God said, I will rain down bread from heaven. For you, the Lord is your provider. The Lord is your sustainer. The Lord is your satisfier. The Lord is your fulfillment. The Lord is your deliverer. God delivers on his promise. I am happy for these people. Did you hear what he going to rain it down. The last time they saw something raining down out of the sky was in Egypt when God started dropping frogs. Do you remember this? To get Pharaoh to let his people go. But now God said, when you look up, you're not going to see frogs, you're going to see manna. Do you know what manna means? What is it? Because you're not going to know what it is, but it's from me. I don't know what it is, but it's from God. I don't know what to call it yet, but it's from God. I don't know how to label it yet, but I don't even want to label it, because if I label it, I limit it. I don't know what it is, but I'm going to give God time to show me what he's doing in my life. He said, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Don't you know they wrote a song about that? Bread from heaven, Rain on us. Bread from heaven Rain on us.

[Worship Leader]

Rain on us. Bread of heaven.

[Stephen Furtick]

You know, different denominations had different versions of it, but they're all singing about the bread and the rain and the food. So stay with me now, stay with me now, Stay with me now. He said, I'm going to make it rain. Oh, it's going to be amazing. But there is a condition on this provision. It's going to rain down bread from heaven for you. He's going to provide for you. I'm saying this to you now. I'm not talking to them, I'm talking to you. God is going to provide for you. But there's going to be a condition on the provision. Here it is. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day in this way. In what way? By gathering enough for this day, God said, I am going to make it rain so much bread from heaven for you that it's going to feed millions.

[Worship Leader]

But the bread that comes down from.

[Stephen Furtick]

Heaven, that's the promise. The provision is going to be set with a certain condition.

[Worship Leader]

The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day in this way.

[Stephen Furtick]

That's how God is going to do it.

[Worship Leader]

You are going to open up your.

[Stephen Furtick]

Tent tomorrow morning and there will be manna.

[Worship Leader]

It will be enough for you and.

[Stephen Furtick]

Your family that day.

[Worship Leader]

It will be enough for you that day. But if you expect there to be.

[Stephen Furtick]

Enough manna to fill your pantry, you're going to be disappointed because I am.

[Worship Leader]

Going to provide for you in such a way that makes it impossible for you to depend on the supply more than you depend on the source. So it's going to be enough for now. Say enough. Enough for now. And that's what God has given you. Enough for now. You're not supposed to do all of your breathing by 9am Imagine if you tried. What are you doing?

[Stephen Furtick]

Get my breaths in. I have to get my steps in. I have to get my breaths in.

[Worship Leader]

It doesn't work like that. You get one breath, then another breath. You get one breath, then another breath. When you go through something so terrible you can't even talk about it, your job description gets really simple.

[Stephen Furtick]

Next breath.

[Worship Leader]

I'm talking to somebody who. It is so terrible what you're going through right now. You have no idea what to do. I came to give you clarity. Next breath. If he fills your lungs with the next breath, then you say hallelujah. That's your response. If he fills your lungs with the next breath, then you move forward. That's your response. If he gives you the next breath, why not give him the best praise you can give him with the breath he gave you? If it works with the breath, watch this. It will work with the bread. Because Jesus said, pray like this. Give us this day our monthly stipend. Give us this day our ten year plan. Give us this day our retirement age. Give us this day what we need from this day. And the only one who knows what I need for this this day is the one who's already in tomorrow. Working all things I feel like preaching together for the good of those that love him. High five. Somebody say it's going to happen today. Hey, this is one thing God and Amazon have in common. This is one thing Jesus and Jeff Bezos have in common. They both do. Same day delivery. So I'm saying.

[Backup Singer]

I'm saying weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in in the morning.

[Worship Leader]

I'm not talking about toilet paper at your doorstep. I'm talking about truth in your heart. I'm talking about God will give you the word you need for this day. You better read that thing today. By Monday morning, this message will be moldy. You can't eat a moldy message. You have to open your phone tomorrow morning him and say, this day.

[Stephen Furtick]

God said, I'm going to give you enough for now, if you insist on trying to deal with anything beyond the parameters.

[Worship Leader]

Of the promise of your strength for.

[Stephen Furtick]

Today, expect to feel stressed. Now you are stuck in something one preacher called the loop when it was meant to be a line. Pray like this. He said, give us this day, man. I found out you can never give up on God. The Lord is like an MMA fighter. He will let it look like the devil is winning all five rounds, then he will find the weirdest hole to put the devil in. The Lord can work with anything too. Have you ever seen an MMA fight, UFC fight, and it looks like they're about to lose and all of a sudden they get an arm and they crank that arm back and all of a sudden the entire another five rounds that came before are irrelevant because of something that happened so quick. I'm telling you what I've seen God do in my life. Even my own son, right now, he's starting to teach the Bible and share God's word with people. I am so proud of him. Living room Charlotte.

[Worship Leader]

Make it a destination bucket list trip. Everybody check it out. But he's starting to understand now that.

[Stephen Furtick]

He'S teaching the Bible a little bit, why dad was in a bad mood 85% of his childhood.

[Worship Leader]

Oh, I get it now.

[Stephen Furtick]

No wonder my dad was so zonked out on Saturday nights, just staring at the wall while we were all eating dinner. I tried to do a good job, but boy, he said something that blessed me the other day. Can I share this with you? He said, I'm coming up dry. I have nothing for this week. I said, man, don't talk to me.

[Worship Leader]

Neither do I. I'll be like, get your own manna. I'm coming over to my tent, trying to take my manna.

[Stephen Furtick]

But the Lord dealt with me and I said, all right, all right, all right. He texted me the next day. He said, I am dial know what to do. I'm like, why can't I have somebody to phone a friend who wants to be a millionaire? But he said, I really don't know what to do. I really don't know what to do. I said something to him on text. I said, I can get you there. Call me right now. My phone never rang so quick, not from one of my kids. It's normally like a 2, 3 business day turnaround with these kids. Boom. Instant supply and demand, I guess. We start talking on the phone. I was even in the middle of my workout. I don't even want to tell you how much weight I was. Close grip, benching. It'll make you jealous. I'm in the middle of my workout. I'm like, well, maybe you could share about boom, boom, boom. It was crazy because I started sharing what I was going to share with you. But then I had to have the faith. Give me something else. When I hung up the phone with him and he said, I'm ready now. A message came to me in five minutes.

[Worship Leader]

God can download something. Same day delivery.

[Stephen Furtick]

Same day delivery. Didn't have it yesterday.

[Worship Leader]

You know what Graham said?

[Stephen Furtick]

He said, I've never experienced anything like that. I said, what was it? He said, I went from regretting that I ever even started the Bible study to I wish I could preach it right now in one phone call. I am telling you that if you.

[Worship Leader]

Call God, I said, if you call God, you can go from. From wishing I never even did this to thinking, God, what is it you have next for me? All it's going to take is for you to come to him and say, I need it this day. My daily bread. I need this day. Oh, I understand it now. I've been wanting to go back to Egypt or I've been looking too far forward to and back and to.

[Stephen Furtick]

And God says, I want to do.

[Worship Leader]

Something in your life right now.

[Stephen Furtick]

But it's going to be be delivered daily. Daily. I don't know who this is for, but it's going to get there when it's supposed to and not a minute before. Because if God did it to quick, you would get through it, but he wouldn't get glory from it. So it's going to get there.

[Worship Leader]

Watch this.

[Stephen Furtick]

Y' all leaving.

[Worship Leader]

Y' all about to miss a good close.

[Stephen Furtick]

It's going to get there when it's meant to.

[Worship Leader]

Look at your neighbor. Say, not a minute before. I'm going to finish this sermon when it's supposed to be over and not a minute before. I'm going to finish this sermon when I get through my scripture and not a minute before. Sometimes God will let you sing praises with Silas in prison all night. All night you'll sing and all night you'll praise. And the chains will stay all night. But the Bible says in Acts, chapter 16, verse 25, at midnight and not a minute before. It couldn't have happened at 11:59. It had to happen in the morning. Because joy comes in the morning and manna comes in the morning and wisdom comes in the morning and provision comes in the morning and food comes in the morning and forgiveness comes comes in the morning and freedom comes in the morning. I don't know How I read the Lord's Prayer so many times, I never saw that all three have the same condition. The food and the forgiveness and the freedom. The food and the forgiveness and the freedom. Y' all get ready to help me shout. I'm so excited. I never saw it before, but the food and the forgiveness and the freedom all had the same condition attached to them. When Jesus said, you pray, you pray to God in heaven and you say his name is holy and you ask for his kingdom to come. And you ask him day by day by day by day. I always heard that about the food. I always heard that about the forgiveness.

[Stephen Furtick]

But I never understood that. The same thing that is true about the food and the forgiveness is also true about the freedom. I need to be delivered daily. Yes, you were saved suddenly, but you still need to be delivered daily. Yes, you are forgiven fully, but you still need to be delivered daily. Every time you are tempted to go back, go back. Say it again. When you are tempted to go back, go back. Because this is going to be a daily delivery. It's going to be a daily delivery. I don't know about you, but when I say chains break, I'm not singing about what happened once. I need him to break one every day.

[Worship Leader]

How many need God to break a chain today? He broke one yesterday. I need a another one today. My chains start having baby chains. I get rid of one, here comes another one. I leave Egypt and here comes wilderness this day.

[Stephen Furtick]

My daily bread. I believe that the daily deliverance of God is available to every Christian in this room.

[Worship Leader]

I know.

[Stephen Furtick]

That God brought them out of Egypt. But what's wild about it is it only took God 10 plagues to get his people out of Egypt. It took 40 years to get Egypt out of his people. So the question really isn't can God get you out of this? Can God get this out of you? I believe he can. You don't have to live with that shame. God can get it out of you. But it's daily coming to the cross of Christ. Take communion in your house if you have to. Don't wait for quarterly communion in church. Get some Welches, get a high C. I don't want drink a diet Coke.

[Worship Leader]

God will bless it.

[Stephen Furtick]

You think there's something holy about the.

[Worship Leader]

Juice we have in here?

[Stephen Furtick]

We get it from the same Publix.

[Worship Leader]

You get it from. Drink it in private and let God cleanse you of your sin. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Daily bread. I never saw it. I saw daily bread.

[Stephen Furtick]

I thought that was what I needed every day.

[Worship Leader]

Oh, he's going to provide.

[Stephen Furtick]

He's going to give me strength. And today God's and tomorrow is the Lord's and all this. And I saw that, but I didn't see that the same condition that is on the food daily is on the deliverance. So I was shocked by my shackles because I thought they were gone. Until I found out that just like I can go back to him for provision, just like I can go back to him for forgiveness, I can go back to him and back to him and back to him. I don't have to go back to Egypt. I don't have to go back to Pharaoh. I can go back to my father. When you pray, pray like this. Our Father.

[Worship Leader]

Which art in heaven, Heaven.

[Stephen Furtick]

Hallowed be thy name.

[Worship Leader]

Stand up, Thy kingdom come.

[Backup Singer]

Thy will.

[Worship Leader]

Be done on earth as it is in heaven.

[Stephen Furtick]

George Altman used to sing this in the Methodist church where I grew up. You say give us this day our daily bread. You see what it is? It's daily bread and forgive us our debts. What's that chord? As we forgive our debtors. But I never saw that. The same daily bread, the same hand that gives me daily bread is for the daily battle. Lead us not into temptation but deliver.

[Worship Leader]

Us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us and deliver us from evil.

[Backup Singer]

For thine and the glory. It is so. It's amazing.
