Bring the
whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in
this,” says the Lord
Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour
out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
Malachi 3:10
God has given us an
opportunity for a miraculous $5 million financial breakthrough because of a
ministry friend’s amazing offer of $2.5 million.
With the 90-day
matching-gift deadline approaching, it’s time the Lord restore everything the
devil has stolen!
The Thief Comes to
Steal, Kill, and Destroy
Scripture is clear!
Scripture is clear!
Jesus said that He came
to destroy the works of the evil one. He came that you would have an abundant
life!
God promised, “Praise ye
the Lord. Blessed is the man that
feareth the Lord, that delighteth
greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the
generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his
house: and his righteousness endureth for ever” (Psalm 112:1-3).
Prosperity is the will
of God, yet throughout history, the evil one has continually sought to steal
the Church’s effectiveness by selling us on the idea that poverty is God’s
will. Too often that poverty mentality has crippled the Church. We must get
away from that mindset if we ever hope to take the Gospel to the “uttermost.”
Three Proven Scriptural
Keys to Restoration
Are you ready to take back what the thief has stolen from you?
Are you ready to take back what the thief has stolen from you?
Do you want to move into
God’s supernatural harvest?
Here are three biblical
keys:
1.
Focus
on the Lord. Make Him your Source:
“That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill
their treasures” (Proverbs 8:21). Our Lord Jesus promised, “Seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you” (Matthew 6:33).
2.
Fill
your heart with Scripture.
We are told, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou
shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8). Even when the world’s
system is failing, you can prosper. Scripture, hidden in your heart, protects
you in every area of your life!
3.
Obey! Step out in faith: “If they obey and serve him,
they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures” (Job
36:11). Obedience is a powerful key in the kingdom of God. It’s what triggers
the harvest, regardless of any losses you have experienced.
As a believer, you have
the legal right to stand on God’s promises, such as those found in Psalm
112:1-3; John 10:10; and throughout the Bible. You have the legal right to be
blessed beyond measure. When the thief comes to “steal, kill, and destroy,” you
can be blessed with an abundance that defies his plans. You can be blessed with
ideas. No curse can touch you!
Miracle at the Wailing
Wall
When you begin to move into this kind of faith—focusing on God, filling your heart with Scripture, and obedient in your actions—God gives amazing favor!

I’ll never forget the
time back in 1997 when our ministry had been hit with a lawsuit that could have
completely ruined us. I was in Israel, and I called my lawyer, asking him to go
before the judge to ask for a gag order on the case so we could have a chance
to prove our innocence before it hit the newsstands, where we would quickly be
tried, sentenced, and destroyed in the media.
“It’s impossible,” the
attorney said. “That doesn’t happen. This judge is extremely tough.”
“Ask,” I told him. “I’m
praying and believing. Just make an appointment and go ask. The case has no
legs, but we have to have the gag order so we’ll have time to share the truth.
Once the story gets in the news, even if we win in court, the damage will be so
great that we won’t be able to survive.”
After that conversation,
I went to the Wailing Wall in Israel, surrounded by people, and I prayed, “Lord, I know I can’t buy a miracle, but I
believe in this ministry and I believe in Your promises. I’m going to sow
$10,000 right now. I’m stepping out in faith, regardless of what happens, but
I’m asking You to turn things around and give us favor with this lawsuit.”
I had barely gotten my
words out when my cell phone rang. This was long before the days of the nice
little sleek instruments that fit in your pocket. This was a massive phone, but
I grabbed it and answered. “I don’t know how,” the attorney said breathlessly,
“but you did it. The judge not only put a gag order on it, but he also
completely dismissed the case!”
Right there at the
Wailing Wall, still holding my cell phone, I began crying and praising God. I
could hardly believe that I hadn’t even gotten the chance to actually sow the
seed I’d promised. But God saw my obedient heart and my desire to step out in
faith.
Supernatural Favor
Obedience!
Obedience!
We are told, “All these
blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the
voice of the Lord thy God”
(Deuteronomy 28:2).
The word overtake
actually gives the idea of somebody running from behind and tackling you.
Are you ready for God’s
blessings to literally chase you down, tackle, and overwhelm you? Satan has
come to “steal, kill, and destroy,” but God wants to pour out His blessings and
abundance upon you.
It’s time to take back
what the thief has stolen from you! All of us have lost things—opportunities,
money, relationships, even family members who have walked away from God. But He
can restore all of these things back (Joel 2:23-26). God is ready to help you
recover and restore all, but you must sow seed ahead of the rain and harvest.
The seasons are
important! I believe that is why God has continued to direct me to remind
people about the anointing for prosperity surrounding this remarkable season
that began when our ministry friend promised to give $2.5 million if our
partners would step forward to match his gift.
He wanted to share the
double-harvest blessing with others, and it’s happening!
Trigger the Outpouring
True riches are coming to the Body of Christ, and you can trigger the outpouring in your own life by planting seed. Today, as you sow into the kingdom of God, remember that God is watching your faithfulness. What you sow declares your faith.

Are you ready to be done
with debt? Are you ready to take back what has been stolen from you? If so, the
days of debt and poverty and lack can be over for you. You can see harvests
that are multiplied with such power and intensity that even dormant seeds can
spring back to life as you step out in faith now! Sow your seed toward the
Gospel, believing for God to overtake you with a bountiful outpouring.
Sow a seed-gift this
month during this matching-gift season of debt cancellation. Prove your
faithfulness to God, and watch what He will do. Best of all, the thief is going
to have to give back what was stolen from you!
