We are seeing the price of fuel go up.
We are seeing the price of electricity go up.
We are seeing the price of food go up.
Everything in the world around us looks absolutely dismal.
Dismal means “gloomy, bad, poor, sad.”
But it’s time to knock “Mr. Dismal” in the head with the Word of God and with our blood covenant with God.
Here’s some good news.
Even if your current financial situation is dismal or you so far behind it looks like you’ll never catch up, God can take you from not having to always having…and keep you there for the rest of your life.
I command a catch up and get ahead harvest to come to you now.
Psalms 90:14-15 TPT
Let the sunrise of your love end our dark night. Break through our clouded dawn again! Only You can satisfy our hearts, filling us with songs of joy to the end of our days. We’ve been overwhelmed with grief; come now and overwhelm us with gladness. Replace our years of trouble with decades of delight.
The Word of Lord – Ps. George Pearsons
As much as I want My people healed, I want them to prosper financially and provisionally. I want My people to thrive and flourish in these times. I want them to experience My supernatural provision. Lack and poverty are under the curse. Tell them that they are redeemed from the curse and that they are to walk in the fullness of THE BLESSING. My people are not subject to the times, no matter what is happening around them. Totally immerse them in the Word of prosperity. By doing this, the Word will build their faith and enlarge their capacity to believe and receive.
Total Immersion
When I first began learning about faith as a student at Oral Roberts University, I needed major results fast, so I jumped in at the 100 percent level. I used a technique I’d read about that the U.S. government used to train translators during World War II called total immersion. At the beginning of the war, there wasn’t time for the translators to become fluent at the normal rate. To speed up the process, they were surrounded 100 percent with the language they were learning. Research proved if they didn’t hear or speak anything but that language, it literally made new grooves in their brains, and they became fluent in six weeks or less.
While I was thinking about that, The LORD spoke to me. He said, Son, if you’ll do that—if you’ll totally immerse yourself in The WORD and give yourself to it for just a period of a week, it will change your entire future. It will change the direction of your life. Your faith will rise to a new level and will never go back. (Book – THE BLESSING. K. Copeland)
A man or woman who lives by faith in the Word of God, does not have to change their lifestyle to suit the times. The times are subject to them.
Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
The curse was threefold in nature.
The curse of spiritual death.
The curse of poverty.
The curse of sickness and disease.
Read the curses in Deuteronomy 28, from verses 15 to 68 and see what you have already been set free from and begin to declare your freedom from it.
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The Blessing has come upon us. Now that we are in Christ Jesus, THE BLESSING has come upon us.
Say, “I am no longer under a curse. I am now under THE BLESSING.”
You have been redeemed from the curse TO THE BLESSING.
THE BLESSING is also threefold in nature.
The Blessing of eternal life.
The Blessing of health and healing.
The Blessing of abundance and prosperity.
3 John 1:2 AMPC
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.
Supernatural — means something that takes place outside the natural world; above, over, higher and beyond the ordinary course of nature.
Supernatural Provision — an unlimited, overwhelming supply that comes from above.
Say, “My supply comes from a higher place in a higher way from God’s riches in glory.”
In order for us to live successfully in these times that we are living in, it is going to require that we live by faith in the supernatural.
We must think supernatural and release our faith for the Supernatural. We access supernatural provision by faith.
Supernatural provision comes when the situation, salary, economy, job market and others are saying, “There is no way to meet this need. It is humanly impossible.”
So, let’s not limit our God to the natural. God can and has always moved supernaturally.
God has unusual ways and unlimited avenues of provision that supersede all natural limitations.
The Lord will supernaturally provide in ways we have never considered.
God never intended for you to bear the weight of your own provision. (Bill Winston)
Faith demands that God not only be your source, but Your only source. (Bill Winston)
God is your Source!
Sounds easier to say than believe? When it comes to standing in faith for things we know we need to survive, or want so desperately, the battle is on.
Satan is waiting in the wings to convince you that God isn’t going to meet your needs. He’ll tell you God doesn’t want to help you or that He won’t make it in time. These are lies, lies and more lies.
What is The truth?
God is your Source—the perfect and on-time Source for everything you could ever need or want.
But you have to receive Him as your One and Only Source by faith.
The Word of God will renew your mind, feed your faith, and get you where you need to be to receive—a place where every need you have is completely met, every bill is paid, every debt removed, and every sickness and disease healed. If you allow it, God will be your Source for everything you need.
Now, when something is removed, or someone is no longer there, and you begin to fall apart, it means you were looking to them as your source.
We only find out who your source is when you get all upset when it’s removed.
Jeremiah 17:5-8 AMPC
Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord.
Websters dictionary defines cursed as “devoted to destruction.”
6 For he shall be like a shrub or a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.
7 [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.
Both are encountering the same conditions, but their results are different.
If you turn your mind and heart aside today from man and begin to turn to the Lord, you will begin to see supernatural provision show up quickly in your life.
Provision is probably the most obvious aspect of prosperity. The Bible illustrates again and again that the Lord provides for His people. And His provision is whatever you need. That can include finances, but it’s much more than that.
Whatever you need, whether it’s finances, healing, peace, harmony in your family, the salvation of loved ones or any other good thing, God can provide it.
Some people believe exclusively for finances to buy the things they need. But if you’re only expecting finances, you could miss a harvest that has your name on it.
Of course, God can supply finances, but He is not limited to operating that way. He may decide to bypass the finances and just get the “things” into your hands. He may give you supernatural deals to stretch your finances, so that you pay only a fraction of the cost of an item, or He may speak to someone to simply give you what you need.
Either way, it’s no problem for God, and it’s a blessing to you. So expect miracles of provision–and be open to receive them however God sends them.
An Old Covenant example of God’s supernatural provision.
Psalm 78:26-29 NKJV
He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens; And by His power He brought in the south wind.
27 He also rained meat on them like the dust, Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, All around their dwellings.
29 So they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.
Psalm 78:26-29 TPT
The heavenly winds of miracle power blew in their favor and food rained down upon them; succulent quail quieted their hunger as they ate all they wanted.
Food fell from the skies, thick as clouds; their provision floated down right in front of their eyes! He gave them all they desired, and they ate to their fill.
God was not displeased with them because they asked for too much. He was displeased because they didn’t go in and possess the abundance He had prepared for them. He was displeased because they didn’t believe that He would care for them.
Psalms 78:9-10 TPT
Take, for example, the sons of Ephraim. Though they were all equipped warriors, each with weapons, when the battle began they retreated and ran away in fear. They didn’t really believe the promises of God; they refused to trust him and move forward in faith.
Psalms 78:32 TPT
Yet in spite of all this, they kept right on sinning. Even when they saw God’s marvels, they refused to believe God could care for them.
Psalms 78:38-41 TPT
But amazingly, God—so full of compassion—still forgave them. He covered over their sins with his love, refusing to destroy them all. Over and over he held back his anger, restraining wrath to show them mercy. He knew that they were made from mere dust— frail, fragile, and short-lived, here today and gone tomorrow. How many times they rebelled in their desert days! How they grieved him with their grumblings. Again and again they limited God, preventing him from blessing them. Continually they turned back from him and provoked the Holy One of Israel!
God’s Great Storehouse: Word of the Lord Through Kenneth Copeland: 10 November 2011
I have a great storehouse. Much more has been stored up in the storehouse of riches beyond your wildest dream that I laid up for you before the foundation of the world. Much more is stored up there than what the Church has ever called for.
I never have held back on the Church,” saith The LORD and the God of plenty. “I’ve made it available to you. I put it in My WORD. I gave you promise and stood behind it with the blood—the precious blood of your Savior.
But there has been a backwardness in My people about laying hold of the things that I have provided for you.
But I will say this: There is a people in the land. There is a people around the world. There is a people strong and mighty growing much stronger and much mightier and more bold to lay hold and put their claim of faith on the things that I have laid up for them and it thrills Me, saith The LORD, because it’s been theirs all the time.
Joshua 18:1-3 TPT
After the Israelites had conquered the land, all of them gathered at Shiloh, and the priests set up the tabernacle. Joshua addressed the seven tribes that remained who had not yet received their inheritance: “How much more time will you waste until you go out and possess the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
