ate the food of angels! God gave them all they could hold. He released the east wind in the heavens and guided the south wind by his mighty power. He rained down meat as thick as dust—birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore! He caused the birds to fall within their camp and all around their tents. The people ate their fill. He gave them what they craved.”

2.   Deuteronomy 29:5 (AMP): “I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out upon you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.”

will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine!’”

Everything will be happening at once— and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.’”

1 Kings 17. He began finding money around the house after he went outside and hollered at the birds. A 15-year-old was so impressed with this story that he decided to try it.
