At the time of transference, not every gift is perceived as the treasure it truly is. Sometimes, when perceived through the lens of our natural eyesight, the gift at first has the appearance of hardship and trial. Salvation is the greatest gift of all but the appearance of it when Jesus hung on the cross being viewed with natural eyesight was not anything that seemed to be the glorious treasure it was - and is. This time we are walking through is undoubtedly tough and while we view it through what our natural perceptions see, feel, hear, and are made to endure, for good reason it most definitely appears as a trial and hardship.
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for three months, you know gasoline is at record low prices. I paid $1.25 a gallon last week in Georgia. Some states are reporting prices below a dollar a gallon. There are two reasons for the price drop: Not as many people are buying gasoline because of the pandemic, and Russia and Saudi Arabia are engaged in a price war, causing the oil supply to swing up. Market analysts say they've never seen such a glut of oil. As I pondered this situation a few days ago the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said: "Now is the time to fill up."
As I was in prayer and asking the Lord what is on His heart for those who are going through financial uncertainty, the Lord spoke to me prophetically and said, "seed time and harvest." I asked the Lord to explain, and He took me to the Scripture in Genesis 8:22where it declares: "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease." The Holy Spirit said that we are in the days the Bible calls "perilous times" in 2 Timothy 3:1. The world calls it crisis, pandemic, destruction; however, there are times of revival, breakthrough and an awakening.
This is a season of preparation and reprogramming for the next season that God has for us. The Book of Romans says do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:1-2) Spend time with Him in this season so he can show you those things that he wants to do in and through you in the next. With everything is going on right now easily get distracted. Don't miss what God is trying to do in this moment. The fact is that God is not shocked by any of the things that happen in this world.
God wants to impart into you like fresh morning rain. Some of you have been dry and weary. You have felt like giving up, is what I am hearing the Lord say. He says, "Don't give up." This could be your finest hour. The warfare has been unbelievable and intense. You have had a rough season of trying to press through for your breakthrough. But God says there is a bright rainbow, His covenant promise, waiting for you on the other side.
Philippians 4:13 (TPT) paraphrasing, "I am trained in the secret of overcoming all things. I find that the strength of Christ's explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty." What does it mean to possess an overcoming spirit? According to Philippians 4:13 in the Strong's Concordance it means, "Engaging the Resistance." This refers to the Lord strengthening you and I with combative, confrontative force to achieve all He gives faith for. This is, facing necessary resistance that brings what the Lord defines is success.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us°Ephesians 3:20 KJV When we hear talk of "The Force," our minds think of a galaxy far, far away and imagine the sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars. But what if I were to tell you that there's truly even a greater "force" at work within our faith when we believe? I've just finished by newest book ENERGY: Where Is God In It? and it's in many ways a follow-up to the international bestseller HEALING: Energy, the Bible, Science, and You, delving even deeper into the mysterious, powerful realm of the "energy" of faith than ever before.
During this time in the world, we have to make it our mission to remain positive in the world of uncertainty. What is it that we can say to see change happen right now? I want to encourage you to be "God Positive!" When we know there is victory in God's word, we will be positive and speak what He says. We have to remember to speak what God says and follow His direction.
Our society's emphasis on performance is screaming at us to work, work, work. The pressure is on to make more money, to have more stuff, to save money for hard times, to do more and more and more. It's an easy trap to fall into. We feel we are forced to work two or three jobs just to support our families, but in financially supporting our families, we are not there for the love and support our children need. Then that morphs into even more issues. In the process, we have forgotten how to really rest and relax. God knew we'd have this problem, and that's exactly why He modeled for us what rest should look like.
Set apart. Chosen. Consecrated. Dan & I have recently been drawn to the Old Testament epic exodus story. You will remember many famous aspects of this drama such as the horrendous plagues brought upon the Egyptians, the totally miraculous parting of the Red Sea, the supernatural manna and quail feeding all the thousands and thousands of Israelites each day, and the water flowing from a rock. The list goes on and on. God does a lot in 40 years!
