Day 17 Issachar Devotion:

The Power of Blessings that Lead to SUCCESS!


July 23, 2010

Jesus blessed a young boy’s lunch and 7,000 were blessed.  He changed water to wine because they needed wine at a wedding feast.  He spoke and the dead were raised.  A centurion told Him that he would trust whatever He said to heal his servant who was sick back home. I could go on and on with story after story from Bible history.  The issue is very simple, “What will He say and how will you receive His word for your faith to become active and see your blessings manifest?”  He knows when someone touches Him by faith.  Faith, success, and blessings go hand in hand.

I believe one of the most important concepts that a child of God (or really anyone, as a matter of fact) needs to understand is the power of blessings.  When you are warring for your inheritance, which is a reality, what you are really contending over is your Garden or Promise Land dominion.  Within Abrahams’ covenant promise was the boundary of the future. This boundary was not just land, but everything in the land.  The LORD even shares with Abraham a timing sequence. He told him that when the iniquity of the Amorites became “full”, his people could go into the boundaries of what was promised and experience a transfer.  God has a perfect timing to remove the prosperity of a group who depends upon themselves and the empowerment of their gods. He then transfers their material blessings to His people’s stewardship.

The Lord is looking for a generation.  He is looking for a leadership.  He is looking for an individual who will EXPECT Him to perform His Word!  When He finds that people and sees their leadership, He reiterates His plan for them to prosper. When His time is perfect, He will manifest His blessings to you!

Here is an Issachar School course that will help you understand the blessings of God.  Other key resources are at the bottom of the email.

Restoring Your Covenant Roots: Blessings, Authority, and Fruitfulness by Chuck D. Pierce and Robert Heidler
This is a key course for understanding our future as we share on the power of the Root.  This revelation is foundational and helps to illustrate the grafting process each of us must go through to enter the fullness of life the Lord has for us.  Topics include:

·         A Visit to the Early Church
·         The Emperor’s New Church
·         The Fruitful Olive Tree
·         When We Lost Our Jewish Roots
·         Being Restored to God’s Cycle of Life
·         Becoming One New Man

Presently, I am traveling from Illinois to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the Fragmentation to Fruitfulness Conference.  Roger and Charlotte Merschbrock are hosting this key gathering, and have actually secured a venue on the campus of Louisiana State University.  In a time when this state is struggling with the effects of the Gulf Crisis, this an hour to declare that what has become desolate can be restored and bring forth new life!  This is also a time for the next generation to begin to operate in the gifts of the Spirit in a new way, and to release the Lord’s wholeness to all those around them.  Join us in praying for a divine breakthrough in this state and region!

On Sunday morning, I will be back in Denton at Glory of Zion.  During our “Power of Lift” service, Linus Vaughn will be ministering “Multiplying During the Dire Straits”.  During the Power of Use service at 10:30 AM, I will speak on “Going Up to a High Place Beyond Your Snare!”  Do not allow the pressures of the world to capture you and rob your expectancy for how the Lord is able to bring us above our snares and into a place of security and increase.
