DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED: I mean, when you're in a bind, when in debt, when afflicted with a sickness, and when being persecuted. 2 Timothy 2:3; Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED. (Even in your hardness, you want to stay in the Lord's will.) Proverbs 16:7; When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. When darkness fell upon Abram; the Lord let him know that his seed would be in a strange land, and serving, and being afflicted by them; Genesis 15:13. (We ourselves come into this position, at times.) DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED. v14; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. (Even coming out of a strait, you should be, thanking the Lord of an expected end. Pay attention now; GREAT SUBSTANCE.) DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED. (Now, observe the word, as he bring them out.) Exodus 2:20; And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the thereof: and after that he will let you go. ( David is a witness.) Psalm 23:5; Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED. Exodus 3:21; And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall NOT GO EMPTY. ( When you come out you shall have more favour, and great substance, which you didn't have, when you went in.) DON'T COME OUT EMPTY HANDED. (Teaching.) Apostle
