Do you have faith in blessing or cursing? When Jesus walked the earth, the Jews were living in an occupied state. Rome ruled the land. However, that did not keep Jesus from the blessings from Above. On the contrary, Jesus suffered no lack. He produced sufficiency everywhere He went and the disciples never complained of the lack of resources except when they thought He could not feed the multitudes with their existing financial resources. Jesus corrected that thinking.
Are you being double-minded? Are you focused on impending disaster and calamity assuming that you will be swept up into chaos when economic disaster hits? I have written many blogs about the potential economic chaos in the U.S. and around the globe. I don’t write these to scare the reader or to feed on his negative orientation or to incite any rebellion. I write these to prepare the brethren and to alert them of possible actions to take in preparation of economic change. We should not be caught unaware of man’s attempt to control our future.
For example, the current system feeds us a steady diet of how powerful cancer is. It is treated as though we have no chance to overcome the big “C” except by some pharmaceutical breakthrough. If Jesus came face-to-face with a cancer patient, what would He do? Would He “run for the Cure”? Would He give to the American Cancer Society? Nope! He would heal the person by the power and authority given to Him by Our Heavenly Father.
A famine was coming during the time of Jacob and his sons. It was about 20 years away when Our Heavenly Father gave Joseph a dream that began his preparation for the coming famine. Joseph was not given the details of how his dream would come to fruition… fortunately. Had he been told of what he would experience in the next thirteen years, he would have attempted to circumvent the training.
We do not have a ministry or calling of “doing nothing”. When we focus on the coming calamity and fix our gaze on the bad news, we become unproductive. Instead, we should use this time to hone our gifts and complete the preparations for our calling. It should be as though we must complete a list of To Do’s before we take a long trip. We must shed ourselves of any weight that would keep us from finishing the race.
We do not have a covenant to suffer. There will be time we will suffer during our training but we have a covenant to be blessed. Where your Love is, there you will be. If you focus on suffering and lack, how do you expect to receive anything from Above. Opportunity abounds everywhere. Some of the largest companies in the world were not here forty years ago. Imagine a company run with Love at its foundation and Wisdom from Above as its infrastructure, pillars to support its growth.
“Therefore submit to God.” Surrender your old man, the flesh, the ego, and put it on the altar once an for all. You will rid yourself of your double-mindedness. What happens then? You will walk with a “pure heart”:
James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
Now is the time! Set your gaze on Above! Expect a covenant of Blessing! You will then have sufficiency to minister life to others!
