As I was talking to the Lord this morning I reminded Him of some financial needs that I had. I reminded Him of His word that He is my Father and supplies all my needs as I would my children. I knew He was with me this morning because of His sweet presence so I poured out my heart to Him. He likes it when His children sit in His lap and just talk. After I was done I just sat back and listened to His sweet instructions and this is what He said:

 “I have made provision for you but you must be patient. It is dependent on man and man is SLOW! I hear your cries and know your heart. Stand firm on My word. I will not let you down. I am a rewarder to them who diligently follow Me. Seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened. I have made a way; stand firm and wait upon the Lord and you shall be rewarded. I know how you have believed, I see your heart. You please Me My child. So please stand firm; do not be moved by your circumstances. Remember one day is like a thousand for Me and I can make one thousand days as one. So believe and stand; it is just around the corner”.

 My prayer is that this message has encouraged you to wait upon the Lord. He is no respector of persons. What He says to one of His children He says to all.

Psalm 40:1
I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.

 Genesis 22:14

So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

 Luke 11:9

So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knockand keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.

 Psalm 37:7

Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

Psalm 10:6
He thinks in his heart, I shall not be moved; for throughout all generations I shall not come to want or be in adversity.

 2 Peter 3:8

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

During economic collapse in the land, Isaac trusted God for provision and got a lot more!!

Gen.26:3, 12-13

³ Live here and I will be with you and bless you. I am going to give all this territory to you and to your descendants. I will keep the promise I made to your father Abraham. ¹²Isaac planted crops in that land. In that same year he harvested a hundred times as much as he had planted because the Lord had blessed him. ¹³He continued to be successful, becoming very rich.

Christ became poor for us so we in Him can become rich!

Galatians 3:29(GNT)

If you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive what God has promised.

 2 Corinthians 8:9 (GW)

You know about the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor in order to make you rich through His poverty.

The key to success is to remember where it comes from!

Duet. 8:11-14,17-18 (GNT)

¹¹ Make certain that you do not forget the Lord your God; do not fail to obey any of his laws (God’s word) that I am giving you today.¹² When you have all you want to eat and have built good houses to live in¹³ and when your cattle and sheep, your silver and gold, and all your other possessions have increased,¹⁴ be sure that you do not become proud and forget the Lord your God who rescued you from Egypt (bondage, lack), where you were slaves. ¹⁷ So then, you must never think that you have made yourselves wealthy by your own power and strength.¹⁸ Remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you the power (grace) to become rich. He does this because he is still faithful today to the covenant that he made with your ancestors.

 Keep these scriptures in mind as to how many times it says that riches are from God!

Proverbs 3:16 (AMP)
Length of days is in her (wisdom) right hand, and in her (wisdom) left hand are riches and honor.
Proverbs 8:18 (AMP)
Riches and honor are with me (wisdom), enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God).
Proverbs 8:21 (AMP)
That I (wisdom) may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.
Proverbs 10:22 (AMP)
The blessing of the Lord–it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].
Proverbs 22:4 (AMP)
The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Remember Jesus paid the price!

Jesus paid the price for you to be rich on this earth to use it for His Kingdom purposes. Let us believe God for riches through His grace so we can fund the gospel of Christ and win this world to Christ. He is coming back soon and we must rise up and take our place and set the captives free. Freedom costs money and we the church should be rich to be able to accomplish all God wants so that “His kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Heaven is rich so should His children be on earth to accomplish His will.

Finally Brethren-

1 Timothy 6:17-18 (GW)

¹⁷Tell those (brethren) who have the riches of this world not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as (their) riches, instead, they should place their confidence in God who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. ¹⁸Tell them to do good (not hoard their riches), to do a lot of good things (with their riches), to be generous, and to share.

I was worried about some bills I hadn’t been able to pay and when I lifted it up to the Lord this is what he placed in my heart. I hope it will help someone who reads this. Please let me know. You can contact me on my contact page.

Peace in the Midst of the Storm

Going ahead of God!

“Listen to your spirit. Let it guide you. Slow down, your running ahead of Me! Listen to the still small voice. I’m not in the storm; I’m in the eye of the storm; the peace that goes beyond understanding. Slow down, stop, and breathe. Wait upon the Lord and He will answer. FEAR NOT I AM more than able to rescue you BUT YOU MUST TRUST ME!!

Walk daily in My ways and you will see the way. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I am here. I will lead you daily. DAILY RACHEL! STOP GOING AHEAD OF ME!”

“Do you have all you need today?”

“Yes Lord I do. Thank you!!”

“Then tomorrow will be supplied ——–TOMORROW! Don’t worry about tomorrow, tomorrow has troubles enough of its own.”

“Stay present!! I AM the One Who sees beginning to end, NOT YOU! You are finite. You only have the ability to see today. So stay present and WATCH what I do for you!!”

“I AM more than enough. Keep your eyes on ME not the storm or you will drown. The storm is only a distraction to keep you bound in fear!! I am more than able to deliver you BUT you have to look at the Deliverer NOT THE STORM!!”

“Have peace My child I have overcome the storms of life. I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH!! Watch what I will do!! Stay in My presence and you will see Me!”

“Does Little Kittie worry about where she is going to live, or where her meal is coming from?”

“No My Lord, she trusts me.”

“Are you better than I AM? Do you supply her need and I don’t supply yours?”

“Oh Father I am so sorry!! Thank you for opening my eyes to truth even though it hurts. I need your correction and discipline! THANKS! Help me in my weaknesses oh Lord!”

“You don’t know what tomorrow brings. I might bring you a million dollars tomorrow; or not! Either way I will supply!! I know what you have need of before you ask. ‘I Am’ knows from beginning all the way to the end.”

“Trust in Me, LEAN NOT TO YOU OWN UNDERSTANDING! Let’s face it you don’t know what I am going to do!! So stop fearing! It opens doors you do NOT WANT OPEN!!”

“Faith closes those doors. Trust in Me with all your heart and lean NOT to your own understanding.”

“I’ve opened doors for you My child. You will know them when you get there and all is well!!”

“KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME! My ways are higher than yours and it takes faith to know those higher ways. LEAN ON ME!!”

“I have called you for such a time as this. So, study to show yourself approved. I will lead you, guide you, as you study and learn I will show you how to apply it. That is skill – wisdom – I will show you how to apply it. And in your journey you will preach and teach My Word to those I send across your path!!”

Yes My child I am pleased. Do not let the enemy pressure you. Daily seek Me daily and I will guide you!!

Love,

Your Abba Father

Matthew 8:23-27

Amplified Bible (AMP)

²³And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

²⁴And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.

²⁵And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!

²⁶And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness).

²⁷And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

Dominion (Binding & Loosing)

I asked God to explain and show me how dominion works. He told me this:

“I gave you dominion over all the earth Rachel. Your domain is all the earth, I gave you power over all your enemies. I gave you My signet ring. You have all power an authority in MY NAME! My name gives you the authority to command, to bind, to loose. You need nothing else but My name. It is above all other names. You can’t go higher. Bind the strong man, the thief and loose the shackles in people’s lives, ALL IN MY NAME!!”

Matthew 12:28-30 (Amplified Bible)

²⁸But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [before you expected it].²⁹Or how can a person go into a strong man’s house and carry off his goods (the entire equipment of his house) without first binding the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house.³⁰He who is not with Me [definitely on My side] is against Me, and he who does not [definitely] gather with Me and for My side scatters.

God said, “You bind chaos, weather, depression, oppression; you loose peace, funds, and bondages. BIND EVIL; LOOSE GOOD! BIND DEMONS; LOOSE ANGELS!!”

“Think of prison: those bound in chains; can’t move, have no freedom. When they are loosed – all is restored back to them. They have peace, they are free, they have prosperity and all is restored. They are free!!”

“Paul was a Roman. They scourged him. Threw him in jail! But when they found out he was a Roman citizen they trembled. They knew they were in trouble because they had locked up and scourged a citizen of Rome. YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN. Your citizenship is in heaven. Anyone who binds you is in trouble!! Paul had to say “I am a citizen of Rome” before they let him go! You have to declare your citizenship to be set free! You have to know Whose you are and where you live!”

“It’s not so much what you say but what you know. You can confess all day, but unless you know who you are and Whose you are, that confession has no power and the enemy knows this. So declare Whose you are and what kingdom you belong to and use My Name to defeat the enemy!!You are a citizen of Heaven and you are the daughter of the Most High and in My name you have ALL authority!! In My name they must obey!!”

Acts 16:36-38 (New International Version, ©2011)

³⁶ The jailer told Paul, “The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.” ³⁷ But Paul said to the officers: “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out.” ³⁸ The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were alarmed.

“Oh My child My child, how pleasant is the sound of your song! How I enjoy when My children rest in me and sing their song to Me. I enjoy laughter and singing and playing. I am no task master. I desire no service; just love. Out of love comes all else. I delight in My children, as they seek Me, and find Me, and play in My courtyard. As they follow My footsteps and play with Me. I enjoy their laughter; and I seek after them as they play.

I look to and fro in the earth for My children, that I may reward them and give them the desires of their heart. I get great joy out of lavishing them with gifts. I am a good Father; full of love and full of compassion! It grieves Me to see My children lost and hopeless and hurting. I cry for them; to come to Me and rest in My arms; but alas they do not come!

But when a child turns from their wicked way I rejoice! And all heaven rejoices with Me. I sing for joy over them! I am proud of them and desire only good things for them! But alas, so many of My precious creation know Me not! And those who do know Me, don’t know Me intimately, therefore, don’t have completeness of relationship with Me!!

Do you think it strange that I don’t reveal Myself more often?”

I answered the Lord when He spoke “No Lord. I know why You don’t reveal Yourself more often, because You want purity of heart. A heart totally surrendered, without You revealing Yourself. You want them to trust you. Its motive of heart, I believe.”

The Lord said to me,”Yes My child. It’s not that I can’t reveal Myself, it’s that I want them to know Me and trust Me, without sight, which takes love that goes beyond understanding; a thing that must be pursued; a treasure hidden, to be sought after, but when found — I expose Myself to that one; and he will get to see all of Me! I am no longer hidden (Matt7:7-9). True reverence believes ‘I Am’ Who I say ‘I Am’; without proof! (Ex. 3:14)(Rev. 1:18)

Listen, My child, and you will hear great revelation and know deep secrets of My heart. I desire to tell you My thoughts and plans for you. I desire to draw closer to you; and you to Me. I desire to show you things to come, and open My heart to you!! I know your heart and I can trust you.

Love,

Your Abba Father

This is a word I thought you might really enjoy.I hope you get some peace in your heart about whether you consider yourself worthy to serve God or not. Paul the murderer “redeemed” had this to say and I find it very encouraging.

1 Tim 1:12-19

Fall into the arms of Jesus

Dear Friends,

If you’re ever on a losing streak and need someone to tell you how to turn it around, go to God. He’s an expert on the subject. He’s suffered more losses than anyone who has ever lived. Just think about it He lost Lucifer (His most anointed angel); a third of the angels; mankind and, because mankind dominated the earth, He lost that too (and I thought I lost a lot!).

Because of my life choices, I lost houses; children; cars; peace, health, prosperity, sanity and much more.  But I got from God many more houses, cars, children, financial resources and much, much more in return because of His grace upon my life. Everything I lost He gave back to me, including my sanity,  plus His love,  joy, peace and the desires of my heart unspeakable.

He granted me grace to go to Victory Bible Institute and I learned who I was in Christ, which has transformed my life. I found out that I was righteous before God, not because of anything I did, but because of the price Jesus paid for my redemption. He bought me with the most precious thing He had – HIS LIFE- WOW I must be very important to my God that He would give His Son as ransom for ME.

I now live in that knowledge that God so loved me that He gave His only begotten Son so that I would have life and life more abundantly. And the amazing thing is, I DO have it more abundantly!!!  I have abundant joy, abundant riches, abundant favor, abundant health, and much more than I could possible write here!

If you want that abundant life too, just call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and He will enter your heart and give it to you. No questions asked! Just a sincere repentant heart and the rest are all yours. No strings attached. You don’t have to do a thing but love God because He loved you first and He gave you His best!

If you need prayer just  go to our contact page and leave a message and we will lift it up to the God that supplies all needs according to His riches and glory by His Son Christ Jesus!

With Love,

Rachel & Mike

The Father’s love never fails. His name is “Abba” Father. Abba means “Daddy” in the sense of a toddler who just learned to say “Daddy” and totally depends on Him for everything. The toddler never questions anything that “Daddy’ says. Never questions if he is going to be taken care of. Never fears that “Daddy” is going to leave him or forsake him. Knows that no matter what he asks his “Daddy”, he knows that He will answer. He trusts his “Daddy” completely.

Jesus is the One who called God “Abba Father” in Mark.

Mark 14:36
“Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

This video reminds of us of the Abba Father’s love for us. Love never fails!

God is Love

His Extravagant Love

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Duet. 28:2

Some people have very low expectations of what God will provide for them materially. They trust Him to feed and clothe them, but they don’t trust Him to feed and clothe them very well!

Somehow they’ve gotten the idea that God’s and old miser who will do little more than put rags on their backs and beans on their tables. But that’s not what Jesus told us, He said in Matthew 6 that God would clothe us better than He clothed Solomon. That one statement alone proves that God wants to do more than just meet our basic needs. He wants to bless us abundantly. I know that from personal experience.

A few years ago I came home and found two expensive automobiles parked in my driveway. They’d been given to me to by men who’d been blessed by the Lord through my ministry.

I was baffled. “Lord,” I said, “I didn’t need these cars, I hadn’t asked You for them, and  I wasn’t believing for them. What are they doing here?”

Then the Lord spoke up on the inside of me. “Have you ever read the scripture in Deuteronomy that says blessings shall come on and overtake those who hearken to My voice?”

“Yes” I answered.

“Well, son,” He said, “you’ve just been overtaken.”

am I saying God gave me those expensive cars just so I could enjoy them? Yes!! That’s exactly what I am saying.

First Timothy 6:17 say, ” He giveth us richly  all things to enjoy.” God is a loving Father. He gets great pleasure from blessing His children. He’s extravagant where we’re concerned. But don’t let that worry you He can afford it.

Once you truly believe that and begin to hearken to His voice, it won’t be long before His blessings will be overtaking you.
