For centuries, the phrase "the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous" (Proverbs 13:22) has been a source of encouragement for believers, fueling faith that God will provide and bless His people. However, this promise is often misunderstood. Rather than being a mere expectation of sudden wealth transfer, it is a divine principle that reveals God's method of positioning His people to receive.
I treasure my quiet time with the Lord. It is the time I like to call my own before I start my day. This morning, I had a choice of things to do. I could read my Bible, or my bible study book, or read a book on healing. They all are very good things to begin with, but I really did not have a leading to do any of them. I sat back and felt to start writing. When you have many options as to what you should do, what do you do?
God's love is a transformative force that transcends human understanding. It's a love that is unconditional, unwavering, and all-encompassing. For centuries, theologians, philosophers, and believers have pondered the depth of God's love, and its power to change lives, heal brokenness, and renew hope. At its core, God's love is not just a theological concept but a living, active presence that shapes the world and every individual who encounters it.
It is becoming increasingly evident that there is a greater desire within the body of Christ to display his power. Numerous individuals are attempting to demonstrate power, but not necessarily power from God. The only way to experience unlimited potential and to experience the supernatural glory of God is by putting ourselves in a position to receive. In my studies of Jewish meditation, I recall learning about how one can reach an unfathomable potential beyond constrained existence through taking a place in God that has no limits, something that is called an Ayin of God.
Do you have great faith? Do you want to grow in faith? This is the blog for you! As a traveling evangelist, I have seen God move wildly through the gift of faith. I have seen over two million people saved since starting my ministry and let me tell you — it has required the gift of faith! I define the gift of faith as when you believe for something supernatural that you otherwise would not be able to be do in your own ability. There are so many different stores in scripture about faith and we're going to dive into them! It's not so much that we need more faith, it's that we need to choose faith.
To you who believe, He is precious. (1 Peter 2:7) If you or I claim to have more light, more revelation – God forbid that we should ever make claims like that! – but if we should think that it is so, the proof and the value is – do people see more of Christ in us than others? For God never moves beyond His Son, He never moves to theories or teachings or doctrines or things that we call revelations.
The Lord is extending an invitation to the body of Christ to rise up and experience a profound season of revelation, and deeper intimacy with Him. He is calling us to move beyond the status quo of mediocre Christianity and embrace all that He has for us. While every believer can access daily revelation and be led by the Holy Spirit, some may have a struggle to receive it for themselves. There is an open door to come up higher in Him.
Far too many Christians live in guilt and condemnation. "If only I had prayed more. If I was more spiritual, if I had more faith… this would not have happened." A great number of Christians believe that bad things happen because of one thing… sin. As a result, some Christians judge others when tragedy strikes. "Well, there must have been sin in their life for this to happen!" False religious teachings bring guilt and condemnation, bondage, and finger-pointing judgments. Someone has to be blamed. Sometimes it is God who is blamed for either causing it or allowing it to happen. If not God, then what sin did they commit that brought this on?
Opportunities have a way of silencing opposition. When God opens a door for you, it doesn't just lead to new possibilities—it also closes the mouths of doubters, critics, and naysayers. The same people who questioned your ability, doubted your worth, and whispered about your past will have nothing left to say when they witness the undeniable favor over your life. An open door is more than just a new opportunity; it is divine validation. It signifies that despite the obstacles, despite the criticism, and despite the setbacks, you are moving forward.
In each of our lives, seasons change. We experience seasons of fruitfulness and barrenness, joy and sorrow, excitement and monotony. The writer of Ecclesiastes said it best: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens" (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Though we understand that seasons change, a new one can often stir up anxiety and uncertainty. As my father-in-law prepared to transition from earth to heaven, Steve and I sat in his living room reading Psalm 139 to him. It was his favorite psalm—and one of mine too.
