This was not just another one of
those live broadcasted car chases down through the heart of Los Angeles, California. Breaking News on Fox called it the 'Robin
Hood' car chase. Six men who robbed a large amount of money as they were being
pursued began throwing large amounts of cash out the windows. Every so often
they would throw more out and people ran onto the streets to pick it up. Money
was flying all over the place like rain.
This reminded me that Satan knows
He has been defeated. He is a thief who is on the run and knows he has been
caught. He now is throwing out the spoil and riches that he has stolen from
God's people.
Watch for the windows opening up
and blessings to be released to us like rain.
Supernatural ways and means are
coming.
Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to His
riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
The Ringing of the Bell of Wall Street
I don't know much about Wall
Street and the Stock Exchange, but I do remember throughout my school years
when the bell would ring. It meant it was time for a recess. Recess for me was
a powerful word, and it always brought a blessing to break away from the
routine of things and be free to enjoy the time out. I sense the bell that is
ringing on Wall Street could be a signal for God's people--that we are in for a
"recess" not a recession! This is a recess from the way we are
accustomed to having our needs met, and instead, we will have the opportunity
to watch God take care of us, supernaturally, if need be.
I sense we are in a transition
from "believing" in miracles to "living" in them! I sense
the Father saying to the angels who dropped down the manna and fed two million
of His children in the wilderness, "I believe they are now ready to live
by faith!" I sense the Father saying to the Rock (Jesus) who followed His
children throughout their wilderness journey, "I believe they are now ready
to speak by faith to that rock, and watch living water gush out to quench their
thirst instead of looking to the world to quench it!"
Clothes that don't Wear Out
Deuteronomy 29:5 "I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your
clothes have not worn out on you, and your shoes have not worn out on your
feet!"
I am hesitant to say this, but I
have a pair of black dress pants close to twenty years old that I still wear at
times. Not just because I don't like to shop, but they just never seem to wear
out! Have you noticed that your clothing and many other things seem to last
longer than you thought they would? Get used to this, because I see this
supernatural anointing falling upon our possessions, such as automobiles and
appliances, as we serve the Lord in these last days. I also had a pair of wing
tip dress shoes that lasted about the same time span. Apparently, Israel's
clothing and shoes grew with them. That same anointing which caused millions of
shoes to never wear out for forty years is still present. The soles of their
shoes outlasted the best Michelin radial tire on the market today!
Financial Pruning in Sources We have
Trusted in
Not long ago we experienced a
cutback in a specific missions budget. Immediately my flesh went into full gear,
wondering why a source would cut our support. I was loading my ammunition of
good reasons why they should not cut us. As I got ready to confront this issue,
the Lord spoke, "Hold your peace! You are not being cut back, you are
being pruned. Your cutback will bring forth financial increase from other
sources, including Me!" I sense many are experiencing similar situations
concerning their finances. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and
Finisher of our faith. I sense He is weaning us from sources that we have
gotten used to, and now He wants to prove even more that He is our Shepherd and
we shall not lack!
God is bringing His people full
circle. Full circle means "full where there is no lack." When Jesus
sent His disciples out with no purse, script, or shoes to serve Him, He later
asked them, "'Did you lack anything?' They said, 'No, nothing'" (Luke
22:35).
Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain
1 Timothy 6:6-8 "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."
Have you ever been driven into
your prayer closet by a great need, and you break into His presence where there
is fullness of joy and you forgot what drove you in there? Once I said to the
Lord, "Lord, I have forgotten what that great need was that drove me to
You, since Your presence is overwhelming right now." He responded with,
"Your greatest need is Me!"
Mercy to the Needy
As we enter more and more into
His presence through much tribulation, we will come forth with more of His
compassion for the poor and needy and will discover that there is greater joy
in giving than in receiving. I believe in troubled times, we will be drawn more
to "people" than things. Relationships will become more precious than
gold and silver, and we may discover that less with God is really more. The
answer to any economic shaking is written right on our money, "In God We
Trust!"
Enjoy the recess!
