First Fruit

Honor God with the first fruit of all that you have.

Proverbs 3:9, "Honor the Lord with your possessions, { substance,} And with the firstfruits of all your increase"...

Honor God with all that you have, your posessions, your time, your effort, your thoughts, your heart, your intentions, your life. God is a God of increase and blessing, "Every good thing comes down from the Father of Lights." Look up the word increase in a concordance and be blessed by how many verses there are about God increasing you and your family, your blessings, your posesssions, your dominion, your authority, your influence. He never meant for us to be a stagnant people. We are to move out of our comfort zones, reach out to the lost and needy, expand to the right and to the left and bring others into the Kingdom, that He may be Glorified in all of out increase!! It is God's desire to bless you and increase you in all that you do. If you are honoring Him with all you have been given, you will experience His exponential increase. ..."So your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine." The things that you have set your hands to, {your barns,} will prosper and produce plenty. Your vats will overflow with new wine, you will have new ideas, new strategies, new perspectives so that you will be productive and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Claim these verses for your life, pull on the dominion you have been given by Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. He provided it all for you, take hold of all that He conquered. He is not confused or perplexed about the economic climate of the world today. Ask Him and He will show you things to come. 1 Cor 2:7-10. We speak the wisdom of God, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory...10 God has revealed them to us through His Spirit...

Word of Encouragement: To: Believers in Christ 3-26-09


Leaving "Egypt"

God is holding back the waters of The Red Sea as we pass from the old into the new, through the Sea, on dry ground. As the Isrealites passed out of Egypt, out of the land of bondage, and began on the road to the promise land, into the land of freedom, God made the way for them. Exodus 14, when the Egyptians pursued the children of Israel into the Sea, God destroyed the Egyptians completely. They were crushed by the waters that Moses released upon them. God is again holding back the waters of the Red Sea for believers to pass out from the old, from bondage of the past, and cross over to the new, to the promise land that He has prepared for us. As we cross over on dry land, without trouble, we will step into the new, the land of blessings and freedom in Christ, that God has prepared for us. Our enemies that have been pursuing us, beating us down, and oppressing us in bondage, will be crushed under out feet as they attempt to pursue and overtake us. They will be utterly destroyed as were the Egyptians. If He held back the waters for the children of Israel to gain their freedom, how much more will He do so for His believers who are in Christ?? Press forward into the new place or thing that God has called you to! Step out of bondage and into His promise land of freedom!!
