The Great Wealth Transfer "Severing Strongholds"

We are going to continue are blog series on the great wealth transfer. In this one we are going to deal with strongholds. Strongholds are patterns that are setup in the mind. We have said that there two types of increase in the word of God. Most of us have had our times of operating in the system birthed at Babel. Gods way of doing things is completely different and it can take majior mind renewal. The bible declares to be carnally minded is death and to be spritually minded is life and peace(Rom 8:6) It takes a brand new way of thinking and in this our lives will be transformed. It will not happen overnight. If we have been in the other system day and night for years than its gonna take some e for effort to get the ship on the other side. remember the tounge is like a rudder on a ship and through it be driven by fiearce winds, it'll go the direction of the governor(Jms 3:3) Begin to confess to yourself that this day things are going to be different by the power of decision. The worlds system is about hoarding, Jesus system is all about giving. Jesus said Give and it shall be given good measure pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give unto our bosom(Luke 6:38) We have to renew our minds when it comes to the power of partnership. One reason Iam living in the blessing is because of the lord directing me to hook with annointings that destroy yokes and remove burdens. In the book of Luke theres a profound illustration. The disciples were at the lake fishing, after TOILING all night there was no catch. Jesus said to them LAUCNH OUT INTO THE DEEP(Luke 5:4) In other words he was offering a whole new way of doing things. We must remember these were commercial and professional fishermen. Here comes a carpender telling them this way. It certainly was going to take mind renewal! How bout it? Peter says a powerful response, NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD, I'll lower the net(Luke 5:5) Faith always says nevertheless. You might be like this is the only way Iam used to doing things BUT NEVERTHELESS! Who knows better the world or the word? Jesus is the word and that very word tells us how to profit and prosper. Will we obey and say nevertheless even in the event it contradicts all human reasoning? Were told in Proverbs NOT TO LEAN to our OWN UNDERSTANDING(Prov 3:5) In First Corinthians the Lord in and through the apostle paul says that the natural man recieves not things that are from the spirit of God for they are foolishness to him(1 Cor 2:14) All we have to do to miss God is to be natural and in that mindset. it says after they obeyed and lowered the net BOOM! There was an awesome netbreaking catch and than THEY BECKENED THEIR PARTNERS(Luke 5:7) In other words partnership is powerful! The Phillipian church understood this thus becoming a partaker of pauls grace(Phil 1:7) Another word for grace is annointing. The phillipian church prospered and was positioned to help the Corinthians when they were in a great trial of affliction. None of us can give away what we dont have. Right? There are awesome ministries that the Lord is speaking to all of us to partner with. You know in your knower. however you have at that point one of two choices. Will you be like ahhh that could'nt be God, He knows that I only have enough for my four and no more. Or will we be like the boys were that day on the lake NEVERTHELESS at thy word? In John There was a little boy that had a sack lunch. When that boy offered what was in his hand into the hands of Jesus the miracle of multiplication began to explode! How do we get our mindset changed? Number one, CONFRONTATION. This is what occurred with the boys at the lake, they had to be willing to humble themselves and listen to one that had way more wisdom than they did. We live in a generation that think that they are so smart. In that scenario we close ourselves off instead of opening ourselves and being teachable. We need to challenge everything that we have been taught and think we believe by the annointed words of the Christ. God said in and through the mouth of Paul If any man think that he knoweth anything, He knoweth NONETHING YET AS HE OUGHT TO KNOW(1 Cor 8:2) listen this can happen more easily than any of us realize. You might have heard things from people and preachers that you respected, but once you really meditated and studied to show yourself approved you found out that even through perhaps sincere they were sincerely wrong. Change is impossible without confrontation. Iam not talking about people here but our own way of thinking when it comes to what the word says to increase. Number two, CORRECTION. All of us must be willing to take correction. God said in proverbs that when we despise correction than were left to our own way and will eat the fruit of our own devices and God will laugh at our calamity(Prov 1:26-31) The cool thing is that its often a small adjustment. Its like turning the knob on the radio to get a station to come in clearer. If were WILLING and obedient, we'll eat from the good of the land(Isiah 1:19) Number three, Casting care. This is like so viatal! God said in and through the mouth of Peter Cast all our cares upon him for he careth for us(1 Peter 5:7) If we are full of care about our provision were litterally choking the power of the word to bring increase. Jesus makes this crystal clear in the book of Mark. He said cares entering in CHOKE THE WORD CAUSING IT TO BECOME UNFRUITFUL(Mark 4:19) Number four, Consider his Ways. The book of Hagaei talks about the situation God says to them Ye have sown much, and bring in little, ye eat and have not enough, ye drink yet you are not filled with drink, ye clothe you, but thee is none warm and HE THAT EARNETH WAGES EARNETH WAGES TO PUT IT INTO BAGS WITH HOLES, THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS CONSIDER YOUR WAYS(Haggai 1:6,7) Has scenario describe your situation? Has your mail just been read? hes simply saying lets consider something. God never misses it, lets humble ourselves and admit somewhere we got off, but the good news is we CAN GET BACK ON! The gospel is the GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Number five, Consecration. We need to commit this way to the Lord. The bible declares Commit thy ways unto the Lord, andf HE SHALL BRING THEM TO PASS(Psalm 37:5) We are talking in all these points from the prince of peace and pleaseant provider how to destroy the wrong carnal and natural mindsets! Finally number six, CHECK in with the big BOSS. In the book of First Samual, David was always INQUIRING of the Lord. Walking by faith goes hand in hand with being leaed by the spirit. This is especially important regarding finances. When God quickens a word, check yourself God WILL LET YOU KNOW!!!! 2 Corinthians declares about the PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS(2 Cor 10:4) Allow these principles and precepts do it in the name of JESUS!
