Give God something to work with

In return He will work for you

Dear overcomer.

What do you notice below?

"And He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered to Him."

Mark 1:13 NKJV

For me it's clear...

The angels of GOD strengthened Jesus in key moments of his life. And thereby helped Him fulfil His mission in triumph.

The same with Mary.

Her mission was powered by angelic intervention too...

"But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus."

Luke 1: 30-31 ESV

Plus in another place Elisha counsels us...

So,

It's evident the LORD views angels as key in ensuring His will gets done on earth. He knows His precious saints need their help.

As such,

How do we enter this flow of blessing—A realm where GOD works on our behalf, often using His angels to secure our way?

Through...

GIVING.

You.

Three ways of giving get you into the flow perfectly.

#1

If you want the mantle of His presence...

Yet you struggle to sense the LORDS presence with you each day, here is a fast way to put that right...

"But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."

Psalm 22:3 KJV

Meet with Him through worship each morning.

Because as we see above,

No praise = NO PRESENCE.

Also.

If I sense something is slightly off. If I seem to have less 'power' in my spirit. If my peace is disturbed or I feel anxious...

Then I might realise,

"Aha! Got it. Sorry Father. I didn't truly worship earlier. Forgive me."

And soon even after singing just a few lines of an old hymn...

The Dove returns :)

For me it's the fastest way into His presence.

So.

Give GOD something.

Sing to Him saint!

Here's a 'FAST' way to help the LORD work with you.

Just,

Fast each week consistently.

The rewards are very substantial...

"Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.'"

Isaiah 58:9 ESV

Therefore if you want to overcome,

And you want a consistent, peaceful walk... studded with answers to prayer and breakthrough—Give Jesus something to work with.

Fast!*

Lastly get out of your comfort zone.

Give Him your FAITH.

Sow in faith.

"Then they said to Him, 'What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.'"

John 6:28-29 NKJV

Therefore...

Do you believe Him?

Because if you want the LORD work on your behalf ... you first... must give Him something to work with.

By believing, not 'feeling'.

And through what the LORD calls...

'The work of faith."

And this type of faith has one big characteristic.

POWER.

"Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness...

And the work of faith with power."

2 Thessalonians 1:11 NKJV

Here is the point,

You can't release power unless you receive power.

So...

• Your faith must receive power.

• Then you give out power to others (That way it acts like a dynamo, recharging itself even more. Imagine that—You a divine dynamo!)

A battery can only give power after it receives a charge of power.

St Francis of Assisi describes this 'transformer' process so well...

"Start by doing what's necessary. Then do what's possible. And suddenly you are doing the IMPOSSIBLE."

(BTW this is exactly what happened in chapter five of Gods Big Plan For Your Life. When I called that man back from the dead, it was not my faith that did it! It was Jesus stepping in to bring him back! Halleluyah :)

Which all goes to say,

Give the LORD your weak faith (yes it's tiny)... but sow it anyway... you’ll discover it’s kind of like plugging into an electric socket and flicking on the switch.

Then Jesus will work (flow His Divine 'current') through you.

Which means

He will gift you His FAITH in return for your wee 'mustard' seed variety.

This is true...

'Faith with POWER.'

"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."

Galatians 2:20 KJV

To conclude...

One of the best ways to give GOD something to work with is by sowing financially.

Sow your mustard seed.

Reap 30, 60, 100 fold by the 'faith with power' principle.

Yet be careful...

When the LORD backs and blesses your work of faith with power and you start receiving what He gives you.

Make sure as heck you guard it.

For Jesus gives.

Yet.

The devil steals. (John 10:10)

So...

Ask the LORD to assign His angels to protect it from the powers of darkness. That way they won't be able to steal what Father gives you.

Be wise. Protect your gains.

If you don't the enemy will steal them for sure.

Which explains all those weird times when the LORD gave you something...

Yet suddenly out of nowhere,

In a puff of smoke...

You lost it.

No more saint.

Don't let it happen.

The LORDS angels are standing by to guard all for you.

May you live and move and have your being in Him saint (Acts 17:28).

Nothing will be stolen from you then will it?

Bless you.

Dave.

"Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness...

And the work of faith with power,

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 NKJV

My prayer for you is this...

That your memorial will come before the Almighty. That He will delight in it. And then he will act swiftly for you because like Cornelius you...

Make it impossible for GOD to ignore you :)

"At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 

About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.”

And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. "

Acts 10:4 ESV

*Here is how I fast now.

It's super easy which makes it a breeze to stay consistent every week.
