Unlocking God’s Increase - Pastor Bryan Schultze

Main message: God’s increase comes as we respond in obedience—especially by praying for and serving others—even amid loss and hardship; when we change our vision to the kingdom, get equipped, and build on obedient faith, God restores and multiplies what we’ve lost.

Key points:

• Job 42:7-10: Job prayed for those who wronged him in obedience and God restored him twofold—increase followed obedience, not immediate relief.
• Jesus (Luke 6): Kingdom living requires loving enemies, blessing and praying for those who harm us, giving without expecting return.
• Change your vision from self to kingdom perspective; like Paul (Philippians 3), press on toward Christ and ongoing spiritual growth.
• Get equipped and trained in the body of Christ (Ephesians 4) so you can bear fruit and do the work of ministry.
• Build your life on the foundation of obedience (rock, not sand); endurance and consistent obedience produce lasting fruit and blessing.
