In Every Season, Things Will Be Alright

Chuck Pierce: "It Will Be Alright"

"Times might be dark but I say, 'It will be alright!' You have eyes to see light, so it will be alright! You have been up and down and all around because I am stretching you to use you in a new way. Even though your emotions have been ruling you, hear the sound of Heaven. I am stretching out the emotional structure that has been ruling you in the past so I can use you in days ahead.

"I have a larger bow to string you on, so I have needed to allow stretching times to occur. You will be MY bowstring that shoots forth in days ahead. You will hold the arrow and withstand the stress of the seven years ahead because you endured the stretching this year. This stretching will come to an end, and though you've been unstrung, watch Me string you again.

"Come up higher! I have a place of sacrifice that you have not known. Come up to My throne and you will rule the thrones that have been rising around you and contending for the blessings that are yours.

"There is a rumbling in the earth and there is an eruption on the way. Watch the eruptions that come forth. I have held up much in the past seasons, but there is an eruption that is brewing. Many things in the government will erupt and blow up now. Many structures are vying and contending in the earth, but I tell you I can go to the core of things. I can go deeper than any other structure to shake the depth of an issue. I am going to blow some things fully loose and into a new place.

"What you have seen in California is going to cause an eruption in this nation. I am allowing My covenant to be tested in this land. In the midst of My covenant tests, watch the lands that realign. Lands and peoples that resist My covenant plan will have an eruption and shake!"

Cindy Trimm: "What God is Saying to Us Now"

We are living in a prophetic hour where I believe the earth is groaning and travailing for the real sons of God to stand up according to Romans 8:22: "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."

God is birthing you out on purpose into purpose. It is my prayer that in this season you will be able to find your purpose and prophetic coordinates. Ecclesiastes 3:1 states, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven." In the natural there are four seasons, but in the supernatural there are five. Since every season was created by God all seasons are good.

The Winter Season

Winter: This is a prophetic season when God gives inspirational thoughts, visions and dreams. This is the season when you should drive your spiritual roots deep through prayer, meditation, worship and praise. This is also a season of rest from the old season and preparation for the next seasons.

I pray that your visions will be solidified and your roots will go deep. If this is the current season you are in, I pray that you will reflect on the past, adjust, and prepare yourself to move on to all God has in store for you. This is a season you will be enrolled into the School of the Holy Spirit.

The Spring Season

Spring Season: This is a season of seedtime: plowing, planting and cultivating your seeds (ideas, visions, financial, relational, ministerial investments, etc.). Make certain you get enough seed in good ground. In this season you will have to fight the enemies of prosperity, and de-weed the fields you are cultivating. You will also have to war against the spirit of abortion designed to prevent purpose in your life from being realized. This is the season for seed-time.

The Summer Season

Summer Season: This is a time of favor; it is a time of birthing, harvesting, sweating, labor and great exposure. Do not fear in this season; do not look to the right or the left, but make up in your mind to PUSH. Push through doubt, push through ill-spoken words, push through the unseen, push through trials, you have to PUSH!

Proverbs 6:6-11 gives us an invaluable lesson on the ant and reminds us that the ant stores up for the winter months in the summer and beginning of fall.

The Fall Season

Fall Season: This is a time when you need grace; you may become discouraged as there will appear to be a reduction of resources. This is a season of clearing away, purging, and getting rid of some things; a season of great sacrifice; a season where you will be required to give up your "Isaac." It is a season for a Job experience—but, I am happy to announce that you will come out and you will come out with more—double.

Due Season

Due Season: This is the season when the harvest from seeds that have been planted in other seasons will be payable on demand! This is a season of decreeing and declaring! A time when you will be synchronized and syncopated to the prophetic will of God. May the anointing of the Sons of Issachar descend upon you this day, empowering you to accurately determine and walk in the timing and season of the Lord.

"Be not weary in well doing, for in due season, you shall reap if you faint not"—Galatians 6:9

Neverending Promises: June 2-09

Isaiah 54 [NIV]

1 "Sing, O barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband,"
says the LORD.

2 "Enlarge the place of your tent,
stretch your tent curtains wide,
do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
strengthen your stakes.

3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess nations
and settle in their desolate cities.

4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

5 For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

6 The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected," says your God.

7 "For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

8 In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,"
says the LORD your Redeemer.

9 "To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.
So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,
never to rebuke you again.

10 Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,
I will build you with stones of turquoise,
your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.

13 All your sons will be taught by the LORD,
and great will be your children's peace.

14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
it will not come near you.

15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender to you.

16 "See, it is I who created the blacksmith
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;

17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
and this is their vindication from me,"
declares the LORD.

Give It Away, Give It Away, Give It Away Now!

Denny Cline: "Elisha Rising—What Do You Have that the Next Generation Needs?"

Remember the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal? What an amazing encounter and kingdom confrontation. It was clearly one of Elijah's most memorable feats and what many see as the high point of his ministry. Yet, when John the Baptist comes on the scene as a forerunner to the ministry of Jesus, he was said to have come in the spirit of Elijah. What was the purpose? It was to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. This turning was seen as essential to the release of the ministry of Jesus Christ who would both teach and demonstrate the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

After his great victory at Mount Carmel, Elijah experienced a demonic attack, sending him running in fear and despair to a cave with a death threat over his life. In his state of mind, Elijah felt alone, finished and hopeless. But God finally opened his heart to see that the most important influence he would have was yet to come. Elijah would then go on to form four schools of the prophets, and in particular, mentor a young man named Elisha. I believe this story represents something very important for the Church—the Body of Christ today. Jesus is leading many sons and daughters to glory as it says in Hebrews 2:10, and He is doing it in partnership with fathers and mothers in the faith who have been experiencing the glory of God in this present generation.

The Ministry of Elijah and the Ministry of Elisha

More was accomplished by Elijah pouring into the next generation than his own personal ministry exploits had recorded. So too, will more be accomplished by fathers and mothers in the Church by pouring into the next generation—helping them step into their calling with wisdom, support, and loving relationships to fall back on.

In this day and age of so much "fatherlessness" it is ever so crucial for the Church not to mirror our modern-day culture in this regard. So, here are some questions we must ask:

• What are some of the things we can do to help young leaders emerge and succeed?

• Is the Body of Christ aware of how many young leaders are already stepping into their callings with a great deal to offer now—not just in the future?

• Are we ready to put our money and time where we say our hearts are?

• Do we realize what a double portion really represents?

Although both Elijah and Elisha worked signs and wonders, Elisha was more prolific. Further, Jehu, a spiritual son of Elijah's ministry, brought down Jezebel—something Elijah was unable to do on his own. By the time Elisha came on the scene many other prophets were rising up into their callings—unlike Elijah, who was recorded as feeling all alone (although, in fact, he wasn't), showing us just how few relationships there were between Elijah and his contemporaries.

This was not so by the time Elisha received the mantle of Elijah and began to move in power and influence in the nation. Elisha was the most prominent of the spiritual sons of Elijah, and we notice that when Elijah was taken up, Elisha and many of the other prophets who received mentoring in Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and Jordan seemed to know each other. Elisha was clearly respected and already recognized as a leader in his generation—moving quickly into a ministry which carried double the miraculous power of Elijah.

I would liken the ministry of Elijah to that of John the Baptist, and the ministry of Elisha to that of Jesus. And it is the ministry of Jesus that we are really after—isn't it? There will always be a need for the forerunner ministry to call people to the next level. But as much as we love, thank God for, and honor the ministries of the saints of the past, we need to reach for the ministry of Jesus in His Body—in the fullness of redemptive character and power today. The entire earth is groaning in anticipation to see this type of ministry in the sons and daughters of God.

We can talk all about the next generation and tell them what they should become until we are blue in the face, but unless we commit ourselves to them and the cause that faces them today (not in the future), they will continue to be held back—or like many of us, try it alone. It's a long, lonely journey without fathers and mothers in the Church who really love and are committed to help you rise up into your calling. I am not suggesting this is not going on now to some degree, but I do believe it is certainly a now priority.

Tell the Youth "Elijah has Come"

I had a spiritual encounter in Germany while doing a conference with Steve Shultz for the first German ElijahList Ministries conference in 2005. My wife Ann and I were resting between sessions on Saturday afternoon. She was reading and I was soaking to worship music in our little room. Suddenly I sat straight up in bed thinking I had just awakened, and said, "Why did you wake me up?" Ann's response was, "I didn't wake you up." And then suddenly the vision I was in came right back at and into me. In the vision a man walked up to me and said, "Tell the youth, 'Elijah has come!'" It exploded in my spirit, awakening something within me.

I had no idea what this could mean at the time and asked Stacey Campbell that afternoon. She said, "Well, the Bible indicates he has come, and he will come. But I am not sure either." Over the next couple of years I watched young men and women intentionally looking and asking for mentoring—father and mother-type relationships in the Body of Christ. They want what Elisha had—relationship with those who have experience in their calling to help them step up and into theirs. They honor and want the experience of mothers and fathers.

They also want to go further than we have gone—but not without a safety net. It's amazing to me the quality and heart of these young leaders—not just their giftedness, which is also incredible. One of the saddest messages I ever saw was on the back of an RV. It said, "We are Spending our Kid's Inheritance!" How heartbreaking and unbiblical. Parents are to lay up for their children—not the other way around.

Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

My prayer for this year and the next few years is this: I pray that fathers and mothers will recognize the emerging leaders in the Body of Christ and reach out to them like Elijah did to Elisha.

Elijah made a commitment to help Elisha rise up into his calling, and Elisha stuck close to Elijah for as long as he could—serving, gleaning, and ministering alongside of him—and then received a double portion. It's time for the next generation to rise up and begin to step into their inheritance. If we do it right, perhaps they will do the same for the next generation. Sadly, Elisha did not. The result was his anointing went to the grave with him instead of being imparted to the next generation. Each generation has its own particular calling and anointing—but the next one needs what the former has.

What do you have that the next generation needs? Is it wisdom in business, a prophetic mantle, gifts of worship or a deep understanding of the Kingdom, etc.? Whatever it is, give it away and insure that it will multiply until we see the fullness of Jesus in His Body.

They Are On the Way

"Those Things We Think Will Never Come to Pass are on the Way!"

I want to share a little something that happened to us recently, because I think it will encourage you. The Lord encouraged me that we are going to begin seeing things that we say we never see. The things we say never happen are going to suddenly happen.

One morning, my husband Mike and I were sitting in our backyard enjoying the sun and the birds! We were discussing things of God and asking questions about different things. We started talking about the birds singing and how there are so many different kinds. As I was naming all the different types that we have seen or heard, Mike mentioned our resident eagle (he lives in our area). I said, "I have NEVER seen that eagle while sitting in our backyard. I see him while I am driving in my car, but I NEVER see him when I am just sitting here enjoying our backyard." Well, what do you think happened next? That eagle decided to fly directly in front of us from our left across the field to the right. I was in shock.

The next evening we had our home group in our backyard because the weather was so nice. While I was setting up, guess who decided to fly by?...Mr. Eagle again. I knew that God was trying to get our attention.

The Things We Think We Will Never See Come to Pass are on the Way!

The next day on Wednesday, as I was praying for someone and talking about suddenlies, the Lord spoke to my heart and conveyed this: The things that you and I catch ourselves saying never happen (concerning God, etc) are going to begin to happen.

I shared on Luke 13 recently...the story of the woman who was bound by the devil for 18 years and hunched over; suddenly, Jesus showed up and things shifted in her life, in her body and in her perspective. Who would have thought that after 18 years her healing would come? It says she was a daughter of Abraham. Her promised blessing finally came! She didn't even do anything that particular day, but just show up! That seems easy enough.

So, expect some suddenlies. Those things we think will never come to pass are on the way!

Light of the Word

Last night's revival service confirmed what the Lord has been repeatedly yet gently speaking to me. Psalm 119:105 says "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Several times before last night, God has been impressing on my heart the importance and urgency of having a daily intake of His word.

Pastor Joe stated that without the guidance of the Word in the church and in one's personal life, it is so easy to stray -- and stray far -- from the truth. This confirmation shook me awake from my insufficiency in the area of voraciously consuming the Word on a daily basis. Yes, I read the Bible and hear on my iPod, but I realized I don't do it deliberately enough. Changes are going to be implmented, by God's grace.

I now feel a greater sense of urgency to really immerse myself -- and the guys in the cell group with me -- in the Word. So help me God.

The Bible is our daily bread, our source of joy and strength, our light, our guide, and without it, living life would be like using a technically complicated equipment without reading the manual.

2 Kings 23:2 says that King Josiah, when he found the Book of the Covenant and realized how far off the nation was from God's standards, read the Book of the Law to all the people "in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant." When they learned of what God said was right, they made restitution -- they repented, stopped sinning and took corrective action. We who read the Bible now should have the same response.

God's Word IS a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Why stumble through the darkness of ignorance, uncertainty and sin when we can shine His truth on our lives and live in perpetual brightness?

TKB Notes on Humility

Notes on the [The Kingdom Builders] cell group discussion on humility.

- - - - -

+ The quality or condition of being humble, meek, subdued, modesty, lowliness


+ Just like faith, humility is attractive to God. If faith moves the hand of God on our behalf, I believe humility turns the face of God toward us. Several passages in the Bible show the appeal humility has on God.


+ The attitude of humility has turned God away from His anger.

2 Chronicles 12:7 – When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the LORD came to Shemaiah: "Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.

2 Chronicles 12:12 – Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD's anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed.


+ Humility in God’s people has caused Him to turn His ears to their prayers.

2 Chronicles 7:14 – If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 34:27 – Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard what he spoke against this place and its people, and because you humbled yourself before me and tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the LORD.


+ God finds humility a very desirable character in a man and as a result, He does the following for those who are humble hearted:

God saves them
2 Samuel 22:28 – You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
Psalm 18:27 – You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

He guides them
Psalm 25:9 – He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

He sustains them
Psalm 147:6 – The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

He crowns them with salvation
Psalm149:4 – For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation.

He gives grace to them
Proverbs 3:34 – He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.

He esteems them
Isaiah 66:2 – This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.

He makes them greatest in the Kingdom
Matthew 18:4 – Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

He exalts them
Matthew 23:12 – For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

He lifts them up
Luke 1:52 – He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.
1 Peter 5:6 – Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.


+ Other benefits of humility include:

Wisdom
Proverbs 11:2 -- When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Honor
Proverbs 15:33 – The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. (First you learn humility, then you experience glory.)

Proverbs 18:12 – Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

Wealth and life
Proverbs 22:4 – Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life.

Reconciliation Favor Peace Security


+ We can see the importance of humility throughout the Bible when God’s word instructs us to:

Seek it
Zephaniah 2:3 – Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.

Serve the Lord with it
Acts 20:19 – I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews.

Matthew 20: 26-28 – Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Treat others in that attitude
Philippians 2:3-4 – Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Clothe ourselves with it
Colossians 3:12-13 – Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

1 Peter 5:5 – Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

Show it to all
Titus 3:1-2 -- Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.


+ Humbling situations are a test of what’s in our hearts

Deuteronomy 8: 2-3 – Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.


+ God has the ability and the authority to humble and lift up his people

1 Samuel 2:7-8 – The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. "For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; upon them he has set the world.

The Kingdom Builders

Introduction to the new name of our cell group.

- - - - -

--- Why are we changing the name the cell group?
The Lord has been speaking to me about the group’s direction in the last few months and I believe the time is right to rename the cell group even as we have entered into a new season in the Spirit. This name change to The Kingdom Builders is a natural progression from where the group started last year – as the Davidic Generation – now going on with more emphasis on bringing the rule and reign of God into our lives.

The focal point of Jesus' ministry on earth was the preaching of the good news of the Kingdom of God and the demonstration of the reality of the kingdom (Matt. 4:23 / Matt. 9:35 / Luke 4:43 / Luke 8:1). This is echoed in one of the main visions and missions of the Maranatha Christian Fellowship – to be able to take part in the proclamation of the good news of the Kingdom of God in the power the Holy Spirit to our generation.

So in essence, we are merely stepping further into our identity as individuals by defining and aligning the group's identity to the vision of the congregation.


--- What does it mean to be a Kingdom Builder?
Being a Kingdom Builder is reflective of the Davidic Generation. Each one of us is anointed to be a priest, prophet and king with a mandate to build and establish the God's kingdom in our personal lives, our families, our communities, our generation and every area of influence that God puts us in.

In the Old Testament, David is our main reference of what a Kingdom Builder is like. Through David's life, God built His kingdom, shaped His people into a powerful nation, cut off their enemies, and enabled them to live peacefully in the land He had promised to His people.

In the New Testament, Jesus is the model of a Kingdom Builder. He was the perfect example of one who walked in the authority and reality of heaven. Jesus is a King, a Priest and a Prophet and He used these anointings to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.


--- What passage of scripture are we using as the basis for the cell group's new name?
I feel strongly led by the Spirit that Matthew 6:33 should be the group's identifying scripture. This will also serve as our vision and guiding principle not just in our life together as a group, but more importantly in our lives as individual men of God. The following translations should paint a clearer picture of what each one in this group is called to be and do:

[The Message] Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

[Amplified Bible] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

[New Living Translation] Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

[New King James Version] But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

--- How are we to build and establish the Kingdom of God?
First of all, as the above scripture clearly states, we build the Kingdom of God by seeking Him first. This means that every decision, every desire and every plan we have must be placed in submission to the authority of God by asking for His will to prevail. Simply put, it is asking the King what He wants to do with what He owns. A lifestyle of intimacy, humility, submission, sacrifice and obedience to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is necessary in establishing the Kingdom of God in our lives.

Secondly, we are to build the Kingdom of God from the inside out. We are to first start establishing the rule and reign of God in our lives, attitudes, and character. We do this by allowing the Word of God and the Spirit of God to place in us Kingdom truth and power to not only grow in godliness but also to overcome the influence of the devil in our lives.

Thirdly, we build God’s Kingdom by influencing others to live godly lives after exemplifying a godly lifestyle in our own lives. We are to bring the lordship of Jesus to our families, our friends, our communities and our areas of dominion by preaching and demonstrating the power and reality of the Kingdom of God.


--- Are we equipped to be Kingdom Builders?
Yes, we are. The Bible says that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) and that He will supply our needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:9). It also says that He has given us the authority to overcome all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Jesus also commanded us to work for the expansion of His Kingdom in Matthew 28:16-20.


--- So now what?
Now, we go and do what God called us to do; what He filled us with His Spirit for – establish His Kingdom on earth in the leading and power of the Holy Spirit. We live out our lives as the Kingdom Builders that God sees us to be – like David and Jesus before us.

Live in Covenant Blessings

Patricia King:

"Living in the Blessing Zone! We are Called to Live in the Fullness of Covenant Blessings"

The world's economic and political systems are under severe tensions at this time, but we are called to live in the fullness of covenant blessings by faith. We, His people, are ready to go to new levels of breakthrough, empowerment and supernatural provision in every area of our lives. The Lord is calling us to make His "eternal Kingdom realities" our "present internal realities" in the midst of this treacherous time. We are being called into new realms of manifested Kingdom life. It is going to be awesome! Expect great things.

Live in the Fullness

In the beginning, God created man in His own image and likeness, and He blessed them (see Genesis 1:26–29). We were created for blessing and, as a result, we have expectation for it. Through Christ's finished work on the Cross, the effects of sin have been removed so that we can once again live in the fullness of all the blessings of God. We, like Abraham, are called to be blessed and to be a blessing.

We have been blessed "with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). We are called to live in the blessings of God's exceeding great and precious promises. We have already been granted everything that pertains to life and to godliness (see 2 Peter 1:2–4).

We do not live by mammon! Believers in Christ do not live by mammon (or money). We live by blessings. We live in our inheritance. We were never called to live by mammon but by every word (promise) that proceeds from the mouth of God. When we posture ourselves to live by every promise, then money will follow us. "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).

We are called to live in the blessing zone! While in prayer a number of years ago, the Lord showed me that we, His children, have been called to live in a blessing zone – an environment of blessings. He instructed me to only receive blessings. If a circumstance came into my life that didn't appear to be a blessing, I was to command it to turn into a blessing. Even the worst of circumstances were eventually to be turned into that which would bless me.

We are all called to live in the blessing zone. Jesus made the way.

Consider Job

When I think of the blessings of God, I am reminded of Job. Job 29 describes the blessings that he walked in. He was the most blessed man on the face of the earth. God's lamp shone over his head; his steps were bathed in butter; the rock poured out streams of oil for him; he broke the jaws of the wicked; his root spread out to the waters; his glory was ever new within him, and he sat as chief among the people (see Job 29:1–25).

When Job was assaulted with adverse circumstances, he kept his focus on God and did not turn from Him. He kept the faith. As a result, when the trial was over, Job was more blessed than ever before.

This is how we are to live in these days. Lock in to the promises of God by faith, and do not waver. Trust the Lord in these times, no matter what your circumstances look like. Choose to live in the blessing zone!

A Prophetic Word of Encouragement for You - Live in the Blessing Zone

"Child, do not fear! You are called to live in the inheritance that I have prepared for you in My Son. You are called to live in the blessings of your inheritance now, for you have truly been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. I have freely given you all things. I have chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom. Live in the reality of My Kingdom.

"Know that you are blessed. Blessings shall come upon you and overtake you. Blessings will look for you and find you if you only believe. Do not fear the shakings in the world around you for, though you live in the world, you are not of the world. You belong to My heavenly Kingdom and you live under My rule and by My economy!

"Expect blessings each and every day and you will attract blessings. Call forth My blessings and they will come to you. My goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life as you trust in Me. Do not look to the right or to the left. Live in the blessing of My faithful promises, for I have withheld nothing from you.

"You are blessed when you come in and you are blessed when you go out. You are blessed in your home and blessed in your workplace. You are blessed when you shop and you are blessed in every place you go. You are blessed when you pay your bills and when you make bank deposits.

"You are blessed in relationships and you are blessed in health and strength. You are blessed with wisdom, insight, and knowledge of witty inventions. You are blessed in all that you put your hands to do. Everything pertaining to your life is blessed.

"When you see circumstances that do not look like a blessing, command them to turn into a blessing. Do not lose sight of this. Endure in the truth and even what looks like devastation to you will turn into a testimony of blessing.

"I am good. You are created to know My goodness. Explore My goodness. I have called you to be extremely blessed. I have called you to be an extreme blessing in these extreme times. Live in the blessing zone!"

His Promise of Peace

Isaiah 33

Distress and Help

¹ Woe to you, O destroyer,
you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, O traitor,
you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying,
you will be destroyed;
when you stop betraying,
you will be betrayed.

² O LORD, be gracious to us;
we long for you.
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in time of distress.

³ At the thunder of your voice, the peoples flee;
when you rise up, the nations scatter.

⁴ Your plunder, O nations, is harvested as by young locusts;
like a swarm of locusts men pounce on it.

⁵ The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high;
he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.

⁶ He will be the sure foundation for your times,
a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.

⁷ Look, their brave men cry aloud in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.

⁸ The highways are deserted,
no travelers are on the roads.
The treaty is broken,
its witnesses are despised,
no one is respected.

⁹ The land mourns and wastes away,
Lebanon is ashamed and withers;
Sharon is like the Arabah,
and Bashan and Carmel drop their leaves.

¹⁰ "Now will I arise," says the LORD.
"Now will I be exalted;
now will I be lifted up.

¹¹ You conceive chaff,
you give birth to straw;
your breath is a fire that consumes you.

¹² The peoples will be burned as if to lime;
like cut thornbushes they will be set ablaze."

¹³ You who are far away, hear what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge my power!

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are terrified;
trembling grips the godless:
"Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?
Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?"

¹⁵ He who walks righteously
and speaks what is right,
who rejects gain from extortion
and keeps his hand from accepting bribes,
who stops his ears against plots of murder
and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil-

¹⁶ this is the man who will dwell on the heights,
whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.
His bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail him.

¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty
and view a land that stretches afar.

¹⁸ In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:
"Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?"

¹⁹ You will see those arrogant people no more,
those people of an obscure speech,
with their strange, incomprehensible tongue.

²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.

²¹ There the LORD will be our Mighty One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship will sail them.

²² For the LORD is our judge,
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king;
it is he who will save us.

²³ Your rigging hangs loose:
The mast is not held secure,
the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
and even the lame will carry off plunder.

²⁴ No one living in Zion will say, "I am ill";
and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.

Watch Your Thoughts and Your Words

Cindy Trimm: "What Have You Put Out in The Atmosphere?"

Everything in the universe begins with and revolves around two things: words and thoughts. These two elements are divine gifts created by God and given to man. They form the creative substance that molds and shapes the destiny of humanity. Each of us becomes the person we are, chooses the direction we take, and accomplishes everything we do based on these two primary elements.

Just as in every seed, there is life-giving power that resides in every spoken word. This principle illustrates how the spiritual law of incubation and manifestation works. Everything you see in the natural began as a spiritual seed—that is, as a thought.

We are told in 2 Peter 1:3-4 that God, in His infinite wisdom, has already given us all things pertaining to life (the Wycliffe version says, "all things of His God-like virtue") that we might partake of His divine nature. Included in this celestial equipping are divine thoughts and inspired words.

As a spiritual being created in the image of God (see Genesis 1:26) your spiritual genes hold the creative power to frame your personal world by the thoughts and words you think and speak, which are divine tools given for your creative use. All you are, experience, and ultimately achieve can be traced back to how you have made use of these two simple, yet vastly powerful, tools—your words and thoughts.

What Occupies Your Mind Determines What Eventually Fills Your Mouth

The power of the spoken word is one of life's greatest mysteries. All that you will ever be or accomplish hinges on how you choose to govern what comes out of your mouth. By what you allow to occupy your mind and mouth, you can either bless your life to great heights of success or send it orbiting into realms of failure, sadness, and discontentment.

This is why Proverbs tells us, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7), and urges, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus followed suit by declaring, "For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart" (Matthew 12:34-35).

What occupies your mind determines what eventually fills your mouth; your outer world showcases all that has dominated—and at times subjugated—your inner world. Because the law of cause and effect is continually at work, there is always an inner cause for every outer effect. Your outer world is a direct result of your inner world.

Every circumstance in life is a result of a choice—and every choice is the result of a thought. All those things that fill your mind hold the keys to your reality. Your thoughts provide the fuel for your words, and your words provide the fuel for your world.

It is paramount that you become the master of your thoughts. The greatest man has become so by the scrupulous attention he gives to controlling what goes into his mind and what comes out of his mouth.

So, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:6-8).
