He says a 6,000-square-foot house with nine bathrooms was built debt free after repeated questions about cost.

1. Church Of The Harvest | Sermon Podcast | Cleveland, TN centers on the topic "God's Will God's Bill" in the Flying Higher series. 2. Pastor Tim Salley is the speaker, and he uses airplane controls, church stories, and Scripture to explain provision. 3. The episode asks what provision means when believers are "flying higher" with God and not relying on themselves. 4. Salley opens with a personal story about jumping out of a plane and later flying one near Lenore City on Interstate 75. 5. He says the pilot showed him the "six pack" of instruments and told him to watch the "attitude indicator." 6. He connects that aircraft image to the message that "you are not alone" because God is with believers. 7. He says provision is a "master key" that can open more than one need, like a key that fits many locks. 8. He quotes Jeremiah 29:11 and points out that Israel was going into "70 years of captivity" when God still spoke of "a future and a hope." 9. He says people in hardship should keep living and growing, because God can provide in a bad season. 10. He gives Joel 2:25 as the restoration text and says provision can come "at the beginning or at the end." 11. He tells the Teleco and "house of mercy" story, where a word to build arrived before the money did. 12. He says the project was to build a "6,000 square foot house with nine bathrooms" and that he kept answering, "God said we build it debt free." 13. He describes receiving $30,000 in material from Crossville, a $500 check from people who were not believers, and a monthly partner gift of $5,000 from a Presbyterian church in Knoxville. 14. He uses those examples to show that provision can arrive through unexpected people and unexpected places. 15. He teaches from 1 Samuel 15:22 that "obedience is better than sacrifice" and says obedience keeps provision coming. 16. He says the Fresh Fountain work in Sweetwater began with bicycles, then shifted to boom boxes after many children already had bicycles. 17. He warns that "too much provision" can become a curse when toys, schedules, or habits pull people away from the house of the Lord. 18. He says "less is more" when material pressure falls away and people must depend on God for direction, peace, and timing. 19. Listeners who like practical, story-driven Pentecostal preaching about faith, giving, and obedience would likely connect with this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a short, abstract teaching with no testimony-heavy examples might skip it.
