Prosperity in God

God is ready to bless us but in order for him to bless us. Three things have to occur, healing, deliverance and then the prosperity. Ecclesiastes 10:19 "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things." In Matthew 21 Jesus cast out the money changers. Jesus said that my house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves or robbers. In Luke 6:34 "34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again." Verse 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."

As long as we are obedient to God, he is obligated to bless us. The definition of Give means to lend unto another. What can you give to cause men to give unto your bosom. The more you learn about yourself, you more you can offer others. Some of us can give confidence, motivation, encouragement, wisdom, music. If you can evaluate your life, what can you give that will cause man to give unto you. What about me can be marketed to the world that will bring financial increase. We all have spiritual need, but without physical accomplishment will lead to a frustrated saint.

We are always following but don't know how to lead. Our situation should birth leadership out of you. A good leader masters change, maintains a clear vision of your goals, masters your vision by faith. God is trying to birth leadership in the inside of you. The first thing that you have to lead, is your self. We get so wrapped up in the church that we can't see God outside of the market place. Some of you have to rebuke the spirit of poverty. The spirit of poverty keeps you into survival mode. In times of going through a situation, you need a revelation concerning your situation. It is hard to get a revelation concerning your situation when you are wallowing in it. You therefore have to step into the presence of God. Some of you need to prophecy over your house. Some of us are living off of a miracle. The miracle was designed so that you don't need the same miracle again. We need to stop mis-managing the miracle so that we wouldn't be in the same position.

Some people have generational lack and need to break the curse. At some point, you are going to have to believe God's word. God said that I will send you provision when you write down the vision. When you write the vision, take God out of the box. Write the vision according to where God is taking you. Change your atmosphere and put yourself around God's creation. Know what God is calling you to do. There is always a way to get to the top but you have to be creative. Get up and stop being lazy. You are going to have to do something.

Consistency in God

Hebrews 12:2 "looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Eventually what is on your mind is going to override everything else in your life. The Devil is skilled at taking what is in your mind and cause you to walk into it. How can we get some consistency in God and find pleasure in seeking God, our salvation, and even in church. God is saying that my children have not surrendered their mind unto God. There are certain area in your mind that you have not released it onto God. David was a prime example of someone seeking the Lord.

Imagine where you would be if God was the center of your life. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is released when pleasure arise. The pleasure center of the brain does not discriminate so if you engage in good or bad it does not matter. We can't find pleasure in the simple things because we are stimulated by the next thing. When your mind is persuaded by Christ you are able to enjoy the simple things of life. You will find yourself with joy unspeakable and are never tired God's presence. If your mind is not renewed you will not find pleasure in the things of God. If you are double minded (referenced James 1:8), the world and sin interrupts your pleasure flow of a submitted mind to God. That is how some people can be saved but find no pleasure in God. Your pleasure center is hijacked because the pleasure or dopamine is released through worldly things. The enemy is controlling your pleasure centers.

A mind that is transformed in Christ, delights in the God and finds out that the desires are given. The word of God keeps sin from interrupting your mind. Cast down those vain imagination that keeps trying to interrupt the flow of God. The joy of the Lord has to be restored; if we don't find complete pleasure in God it will cause us to drift into things that are sinful. There is power of positive thinking. You can meditate somethings into existence. Psalms 51:12 "Restore unto me the joy of my salvation." Some of us need healing in our mind into our pleasure center and change somethings in God. You ought to see yourself prosperous in God otherwise you will not be consistent.

Psalms 16:11 "thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." The best feeling of fulfillment is knowing that we have a God that is concerned and delights in the prosperity of his people. The thoughts that God thinks towards us is peace, love, joy and he has an expected end. The problem is the way that you think about yourself. Don't allow the world and situation to define you. Get your joy back.

Get to the Root Issue

There are some issues that are preventing you form moving into the next dimension of God. According to Hebrew 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." Blessed is the pure in heart for they shall see God. It is very important that our hearts maintain purity so that we can see God. Hebrews 12:15 "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." When some old issues spring up, they will defile me. It is difficult to maintain a level of focus when you are always wrestling with yourself. At some point, you have to press past your weakness to accomplish all that God has for you.

We have received the Lord and Savior, but the flesh refuses to stay dead. The root issues that are designed to rob and defile you from seeing God. Sometime the world will send storms of life and the storms of life will feed the root issues in your life and heart and then you look out that the stuff that sprung up is taller than your purity. Many of us wrestle so much that it hinder the growth. When you see the root issue, take it to the cross and stop entertaining. Paul said that I have to die daily. There are issues that are surfacing more than the holiness of God.

You cannot allow your flesh to hinder your purpose and destiny. 1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" You need to know how the devil is manipulating and tricking you with the same thing. There is another level of deliverance, freedom, and healing that needs to occur. Search deligently inside of yourself so that God can reveal to you what is hindering you from pressing forth in God. No longer will you allow situations that you cannot control to make you depressed. We have to allow the Holy Spirit to go deep down into the root issue and pull them out.
At some point, your past is going to have to be the past.

Feed your Spirit and not your flesh. Allow God to get to the root issue.
