Remember God's faithfulness to you

By Morris Cerullo

When you face financial problems, God does not want you to look to the right or the left. He does not want you to look to the arm of the flesh. He wants you to remember His faithfulness to you. He want you to remember all the times he provided for you and met your needs. When problems arise, He wants you to stand on the Word, to act on His promises and not be moved by your circumstances.To walk in the financial victory God planned for you, the Word must be so much a part of your life that regardless of how difficult or impossible your circumstances are, you will cling to the Word and keep believing and trusting God to fulfill His promises and supernaturally meet your needs.

God warned the children of Israel to take heed...not to forget, and then He told them to get the Word into their hearts until all that came out of their mouths was the Word! Look at Deuteronomy 11:18-19 in the Amplified Version, "Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [mind and] heart and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and as a forehead bands between your eyes. And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up."

Do you want to break the financial bondage from your life once and for all and live in the prosperity God planned for you? Do not forget God! Do not forget his supernatural provision! Do not forget His Word! Get the Word into your heart and refuse to let go of His promises! You may face the greatest financial difficulties and problems you have ever faced. Do not give up. Do not forget God by withholding your tithes and offerings. When you stop giving to God, you have forgotten that it is He who has blessed you and that it is not through your own efforts that you have prospered. Keep your mind fixed upon God and His Word.

Niagara Falls-sized faith

By Benny Hinn

I was in my early teens when our family moved from Jaffa, Israel to Toronto, Canada. And I remember the time we drove to the border of the United States to see the mighty Niagara Falls. It was so awesome that my heart almost stopped. I can still recall the guide telling us, “Hundreds of thousands of people have lights in their homes and power in their factories because of the hydro-electric energy that is harnessed here.” The secret of Niagara's far-reaching impact is that enormous amounts of water have been channeled into one specific location. It’s concentrated.

My friend, flowing inside you is something just as powerful. The Almighty has granted special abilities to you, yet unless these God-size talents are focused they will be wasted. They will die. It is vital that you seek God’s face until His one purpose for your life becomes evident. Then begin to channel every ounce of your energy into that one mighty mission.

Oh, the dynamic power that is sparked when you and the Creator become one. No longer are you thinking insignificant thoughts – you have plugged into the greatest force in the universe! Just as the rushing water of Niagara is transformed when it is linked to a generator, our power is derived from being connected to God.

Hear the words of Jesus: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). What was the abundance of which Jesus spoke? Was it only of wealth or prosperity? No. He came so that by touching Him, you would have more of everything – including happiness, energy and creativity. When the great principles of God’s Word are incorporated into our daily living, we can feel incredible energy. The power is there, waiting for you to touch God and see it released.

Love the Word

By Joel and Victoria Osteen

"Great peace have those who love Your law and nothing shall make them stumble" (Psalm 119:65).

Everything you need in this life is found in the Word of God--direction, healing, peace, joy and provision. No matter what situation you maybe facing today, you can live in peace and victory by knowing God's Word and applying it your life. Notice this verse says that the people who love God's Word have great peace. How do you show your love for God and His Word? By studying it, meditating on it, and obeying His commands. When you choose to obey God's Word, it activates His promises in your life. It activates His great peace in your heart. It activates His blessing, power, and provision. When you hold God's Word in your heart, there's nothing that can take it away from you. There's nothing that can make you stumble or offend you. When you love the Word of God and apply it to your life, you will have great peace and live in victory, and enjoy the abundant life He has prepared for you!
