Steps For A Financial Miracle

  1. Make God the source of your total supply. Line up your life with what it tells you to do in His Word. Search your heart and ask the Holy Spirit if there is any un-forgiveness that you have, and ask Him to heal you of your deepest hurts. God's Answers to Heal Deep Hurts is an excellent book to read.
  2. Plant some seeds. Sow seeds where people are being saved, healed, and delivered. You have to give on a clean altar. Be sure to worship God in your giving. Thank Him for what he has done for you, and be sure to praise Him. He dwells in the Praises of His people. Sacrifice some offerings along with your tithes. After you praise Him, then pray about your needs.
  3. Stay in His Word. Doubts will come your way, but you need to bind them as they come to you. "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven".....Expect God to meet your needs. Expect your miracle. When you have that knowing deep inside yourself that he has heard your prayer, begin to praise him for your miracle.

Scriptures To Stand On For Your Finances

Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Matt. 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 7:7
 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Luke 11:9
 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

I found this in the People's New Testament

7:7 Ask,... seek,? knock. The terms are here used with reference to prayer, and these constitute a climax. Ask implies a simple petition. Seek indicates an earnest search. Knock shows perseverance in spite of hindrances. The three represent earnest prayer.

"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
John 16:23 
"In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
James 1:5
 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
1 John 3:22
and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
1 John 5:14

Read also the 28th chapter of Deuteronomy. It has the blessings that God promised if you follow His promises. It also has the curses that come upon you when you are under a closed heaven.
Phil. 4:19
 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus

2 Cor. 9:8 King James Bible
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
 Ephesians 3:20
 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

Worshipping God in Your Giving

If you need God to move for you in your finances, you have to follow His commandments. If you aren't following His commandments, then you are living under a closed heaven, and He is not obligated to help you.
I have been studying this subject a lot lately, and I decided to share some of the things that I have learned.

Learn to Worship God in your giving. Every bit of the money that you have, came from God. All He asks you for is 10% of your income. You get to keep the 90% for yourself. I personally write out a check and hold it in my hands and thank God for everything He has done for me. You may have another way of doing it.

For those of you who think that tithing was a part of the Law of Moses, then read the book of Genesis. Cain and Abel gave God offerings, and Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek. 

The Israelites brought so much gold, silver, etc. to the temple, Moses had to tell them to stop. See Exodus 35.

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJ
 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Follow His commandments so that you can claim the promises of the blessings that only He can give.

Deuteronomy 15:10 
"You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings.

Your money represents you, and your heart. God sees and acknowledges it when you give with the right intentions.

1 Chronicles 29:17 
"Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

I have been studying how the Israelites gave offerings to God. They had different feasts and festivals and different offerings that we don't do today.
Romans 12:8
 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
2 Corinthians 8:12
 For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. (NASB ©1995)
The bible also tells us that man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart. 1 Sam. 16:7.

Secrets from Beyond The Grave

Priming Your Pump

Have you primed your pump today? The old pumps with the long handles that we used to use, you had to lift the handle up and down a bunch of times to get water flowing.

You have to do the same thing symbolically in your spirtual walk with God. How do you do that? I will show you some scriptures on how to release God's power into your life.
Phil. 4:6 KJV
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Bible in Basic English
Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.
You prime your spiritual pump by prayer, worship, and praise. You have to let your requests be known unto God. Having The word in your spirit is essential to getting your prayers answered. You get The Word in your spirit by reading it, confessing it, and meditating on it. I am not saying what some teach, name it and claim it. I am saying to get them into your spirit. Also, a good way is to write the scriptures down. I find scriptures and promises and add them in a notebook. I arrange them into subjects. Then, when I need an answer to prayer, I go to that subject.

Here are some more scriptures relating to this subject.
Matthew 6:25

"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Ephesians 6:18
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

1 Timothy 2:1
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
 We must learn to prime our pumps in our souls. Put God first in your life. Let Him be the source of your total supply. Teach yourselves how to truly worship him. I am learning this again myself. I have been studying the sacrifices that the Children of Israel gave to God, and what they represented. They worshiped God through their giving.

Culturally Incorrect: How Clashing Worldviews Affect Your Future

Butch, The Bull Dog

A friend of mine went to Texas and brought me back a tape of a church service. I wanted to share with you a lady's testimony that was on that tape.

She said that she and her family were on hard times. They didn't have any food in the house. She had
been standing on the word of God. Phil. 4:19. But my God shall supply all your needs according to His
Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

She had a bull-dog named Butch that she kept outside on a chain. Butch got loose, and went roaming
the neighborhood. He came back home with a bag full of frozen steaks, pork chops, and a few rump
roasts. He sat them on the front porch.

The lady said that she asked all of her neighbors about the meat. She found out that one of her
neighbors had cleaned out their freezer, and told her she could have all of the meat. She just said,
praise God!

There was enough meat from the freezer to feed her family for about a month, because the neighbor
gave her a lot more that Butch the bull-dog didn't steal. God used Butch the bull-dog to supply her
needs.

What kind of miracles has the Lord given you?

God's Promises for Finances

Proverbs 11:25-26  KJV
25. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
So how is your soul today? If you are a giver, the Lord promises to make your soul fat.

Romans 12:1 KJV
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
 When you are saved, you become a new creature, and the old things are passed away. There are not that many people who teach about doing away with the fleshly desires.

Galatians 2:20 KJV 
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
The blessings of God are conditional. When you obey the Lord's commandments and laws, you enter into a covenant with Him.

 The bible in basic english says:
I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

The word repent, means that you turn away from your old life, and walk straight ahead into your new one. When you ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins, He does.
2 Cor. 5:17
 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
You may look the same, have the same name, but inside you are a different person. A miracle has happened inside of your heart, and your whole life seems different. You just gave your heart to Jesus. If you don't live the life and follow His commandments, you come out from under His Divine Protection.

God's Rest

Matthew 11:28 KJV says:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
God's rest is restoration of your soul, spirit, and body. When you are into his rest, you aren't worried about circumstances, and things in the natural. Your problems don't affect you as they once did.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
These two verses were on my mind this morning when I woke up. If you trust in the Lord with all your heart: and do not try to work your problems out with your natural mind, then you are fully trusting him.

Verse 6, in all thy ways acknowledge Him, which is putting God first in everything that you do. Make Him the head of your finances. If you have a business, let him be your CEO.

Make God your source of your total supply, and follow his commandments. When you follow what the Word tells you to do, then you enter into a covenant with Him. If God tells you to plant a seed, do it. For a seed to grow, it has to leave your hand.

You may say, "well, you don't understand what I am going through". Maybe I don't, but God does. You just have to make him number 1 in your life. You have to start looking at what His word says, and not what you see, and feel and hear.

Maybe you are afraid of your circumstances. Bind that spirit of fear and doubt and unbelief, and choose to believe what the Bible says, and not look at your circumstances.

As I am talking to you, this message is being aimed right back at me. If  I look at my circumstances, there is no way that I can pay my bills. I don't even know if I will get an unemployment check this week. I have to use my faith, and not look at the circumstances. In our natural world, there is no way that I can pay these bills. I am looking at the Supernatural God. He said that he would supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

I am under God's protection, because I give when he leads me to, and I also pay my tithes, according to Mal. 3:10. God said that he would open up the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing that I wouldn't be able to receive.

God wants your all. He wants your heart. His first commandment is to not have any other Gods before Him. Make God first in your life, and follow his commandments that is established in His Work.

I am going to say a prayer for all of you who needs a miracle in your life. Follow along as I pray, and put your hands on your monitor and pray along with me.

Father, I come to you today in the name of Jesus. You see the person or person's who are reading this, and you see their need. I ask you to let them enter into a covenant of blessing from you. I ask you to meet each and every need. If they need salvation, let them confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead, your word says that they shall be saved.  Romans 10:9. If they are in need of healing, you said that healing is the children's bread, and I claim it now for them in the name of Jesus. Amen.

If you have any comments or prayer requests, I will be glad to hear them. Just post below.
