The Time Is Now For Your Abundance

After watching Andrew Womack on television this morning at 6am, I felt compelled to reinforce what I believe is a message for the Body of Christ. God is so awesome how His Spirit can communicate the same theme through so many people.

Andrew was speaking on how now is NOT the time for Christians to shrink back and hide themselves in a hole out of fear by what is going on today. Yes, these are tough times. But what an opportunity for Christians to rise up, trust God, obey what He says, and press on with what He is showing us to do.

We, by God’s grace and strength, can thrive and not just survive. We can flourish while our nation’s economy flounders! What an amazing opportunity to testify and give God glory as you prosper amidst the tough times, as you expand in your business or ministry, as you walk in a new place of abundance.

This is not a time to shrink back in fear. Fear immobilizes you. It paralyzes and zaps the very creative gifts God has given you.

So rise up. Fix your eyes on Jesus, not the news. Jesus is the author and perfecter of your faith. When fear tries to grab you by the throat, speak out His name! When anxiety wants to rob you of your joy, praise His name. When the ugly fowl spirit of death tries to drag you back into that pit of pity or bad health or despair, reach out in faith to God knowing He hears and will rescue.

Will you join me? Will you CHOOSE to walk in faith and not fear. Will you listen, obey and trust what God is telling YOU to do.

Let’s walk in faith today.

Faith is believing the windows of heaven are wide open for blessings for you when all you see is closed doors on earth.

Key To Be Free-For Your Children

Isaiah 7:1-9

Today is a special day to the Catholic youth who are celebrating “World Youth Day.” Pope John Paul II initiated this occasion 23 years ago as a way of reaching young people with the message of the Gospel. Since that first World Youth Day, millions of young people have been touched and transformed by the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit through this event.

Reading about this today made me think of this point.

The young people of our day are under attack by a vicious enemy that looks to warp their minds and steal their souls. If you are a parent, one of the main battle grounds of the enemy is his precarious plot to kill your seed.

Whether you have children or not, we all have those war zones where we feel the heat of the fire, from the enemy, by our own poor choices, and from the struggles that come with life.

But there is hope! The promises of God are yes and Amen. The Word will not fail us.

I took some notes from Isaiah 7:1-9 which strengthened my heart.

In this passage, King Ahaz is under attack by the Rezin, King of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. They wanted to to take over Judah to strengthen their own coalition against Assyria.

Because Ahaz, the ruler of the Davidic throne at this time, had no faith in God, the heart of the whole royal court shook–“moved with the wind.” (Isaiah 7:2)

Can you relate? I know I can. Many crushing issues from family to financial matters, have made me fearful resulting in my faith being paralyzed.

Back to this Scripture:

So God sent the prophet Isaiah to Ahaz with a powerful word to strengthen their faith. (Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God).

I believe this word is for the young people of our day, for parents who see the warped attack for their children’s hearts, and for anyone facing terrible circumstances which seem to never end.

Check out the words God gave to Isaiah to speak in verse 4 of Isaiah 7:

“Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria…..

The instructions are clear:

Take Heed – Be careful, be calm no matter what your senses see or feel.

Be quiet – The power of life and death is in your tongue as Proverbs says. Don’t just talk about the problems, have a plan of action and DO something.

Do not fear – Nothing kills faith quicker than fear.

Two Smoldering Stubs – The two enemies appeared to be like firebrands (something that can be used to start a fire that destroys). But these firebrands were merely smoking, about to die out completely.

Yes, the plan to walk through these shaking times are clear. So are God’s promises.

In this passage God has HIS Word on the line as He had foretold that Judah was HIS Remnant which would always be faithful to Him, and secure God’s Messianic promises to Abraham.

The final word from Isaiah to King Ahaz concerning the attack from these two enemy forces is the same word for you. Whether you are fighting attacks on your children, your family, your finances, your healing, or any insurmountable problem:

“Thus says the Lord God: It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.

That has got to make you SHOUT! (Or at least run around the house a few times).

So look beyond what you see, even if your “senses give you no assurance.”

Continue to dream and believe that the Youth of today will be won to the Lord, that you will have your healing in your body or family, that you will get out of debt, that you will——(you fill in the blank).

Keep dreaming and walking to what God has ordained for you.

“To dream is not the phantoms of our brain but the outline of our divine destiny.”
