The laws of Demand and Supply powered by the word of God

There is nothing in the world that works consistently without being powered by the Word of God. A core principle that governs human life is the law of demand and supply, which essentially states: "For every demand, there is a supply, and for every supply, there is a demand."

This law is deeply rooted in Scripture, particularly in Matthew 7:7, which says: "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

It's crucial to note that this verse uses the word "everyone," meaning it applies not only to believers but to everyone, regardless of faith. This principle is universal, because the Word of God governs the entire creation.

As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 explains, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

This shows that the Bible's truths extend to all, and its principles, like the law of demand and supply, apply to everyone.

Now, you might wonder: "If this applies to everyone, why does God allow bad things to happen when people ask for them?" The answer is found in 1 Samuel 12:10-11.

Here, Israel demanded a king, even though it was not in their best interest, and God granted their request. He did this because, as Matthew 7:9-10 states: "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?"

God gives us what we ask for because He honors His word, and in Matthew 7:7, He promises that whoever asks, seeks, or knocks will receive.

Even when a request isn't aligned with God's perfect will, He may still fulfill it because He is bound by His own word. 1 Samuel 12:11-14shows an example of this.

Although it was not in God’s plan for Israel to have a king like the other nations, He gave them Saul because they demanded it. God did this to honor the principle in Matthew 7:7, even though it was not the best for them.

There is, however, a crucial difference between asking for things outside of God’s will and asking in the name of Jesus. As John 14:13-14 says: "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." When you ask for something in the name of Jesus, it must glorify the Father through the Son.

If it doesn’t, it won’t be granted. This is a foundation of the New Covenant, which is why in the New Testament, you cannot make harmful requests like the Israelites did in 1 Samuel 12:11-14 and expect them to be fulfilled if they don’t bring glory to God.

In 1 Samuel 12:11-14, the Israelites, after repeatedly forsaking God and turning to other gods, pleaded for a king to deliver them from their enemies. Samuel reminded them of their history, saying: “Then the Lord sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and he delivered you from the hands of your enemies all around you, so that you lived in safety. But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to rule over us’—even though the Lord your God was your king."

Despite God’s previous acts of deliverance through judges, the Israelites rejected God’s leadership and insisted on having a human king. God, honoring their request but warning them of the consequences, allowed them to have King Saul. This shows that while God granted their request, it wasn’t because it was the best for them, but because they insisted. Their request, in essence, was harmful as it led to eventual difficulties under Saul’s reign.

However, under the New Covenant, harmful requests that don’t glorify God are no longer granted. Jesus explains in John 14:13-14: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” This means that any request that does not glorify God through Christ will not be fulfilled. While God honored the Israelites' request in the Old Testament despite its harm, under the New Covenant, only requests that align with God's will and bring glory to His name will be granted.

The relationship with Jesus changes the dynamics of what is granted because God’s will becomes aligned with your desires. Anything you ask for in Jesus’ name that glorifies God will be granted.

From God's perspective, anything outside of Him is death. Romans 8:6 says: "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace." So, while the law of demand and supply is eternal, established by the structures God set up in the universe, only requests made in His Spirit lead to life.

The laws that govern the natural world are consistent because God set them in place. We study these structures through science, which examines how the world works, but the "why" behind these laws is explained by the Bible.

Miracles, on the other hand, occur outside these natural structures. They are not the result of the systems God created but direct interventions from God Himself—the Creator of the structures.

Because miracles come directly from God, they are not bound by the repetitive, predictable nature of the natural world, and this is why they cannot be studied or predicted by science.

As is stated in Matthew 18:19, which states;

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”

Science was designed to understand the "how" of the universe, while the Bible explains the "why." This distinction is important because it shows us that while the law of demand and supply, as outlined in Matthew 7:7, is a law—consistent and unchanging—miracles are different.

They occur when God Himself steps in, not when His structures operate. The reason bad things happen in the world is because many are led by the flesh, and as Romans 8:6 says, "The mind governed by the flesh is death."

This death is brought about by the devil, as John 10:10 states: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

In conclusion, the laws of demand and supply are powered by the Word of God, applicable to everyone because they are rooted in divine principles.

But to experience life and peace in your requests, it must align with God's will and be asked in the name of Jesus. Anything outside of God’s Spirit leads to death, and only those who remain in Him can fully benefit from the life-giving nature of His word.
