Supernatural Provision

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4.19

Many are feeling the pull of things becoming tight financially.  It may seem like expenses keep coming up–more than usual.  And on top of that, your money is not going as far with inflation  hitting hard.  Businesses are closing.  Supply chain disruptions are causing problems,shortages, and  delays.  Many have lost their jobs or have chosen to quit because of mandates.  

Just when it feels like the walls are closing in, there will be a sudden turnaround in your situation.  Before things even got uncomfortable for you, God prepared a solution. He knew these circumstances would align in just this way at just this time.  He had a plan. And as His word says, He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Take comfort in knowing that God is your provider and often  He provides through supernatural means.  Watch for supernatural provision–checks in the mail, debts paid off, gifts and surprises, finding money and so much more. 

God is creative and He loves to meet our needs in ways that will blow our mind-as only He can do.  

God is turning things around and providing for His children.  Look for a swift answer to your prayers and your needs.  This word is for you if you have felt the pressure of financial need recently. You may have been struggling to stretch your money  to cover all expenses.   And you may have been fighting the temptation to panic about money. Stand in faith that God is true to His word and His character.  Search out verses that say  He will provide and we are not to worry.  Meditate on these, memorize them, stir up your faith, and believe in your heart that He’s got you.  Do not partner with worry, fear or lack.  God has you covered.

Cascade of Blessings

“Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.

“'Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:

 They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.'
God, your God, says so."

Amos 9.13-15 MSG

You may be feeling pressure and the desire to change a specific area of your life.  It could be a relationship where there needs to be communication or even an ending; the need to create  some more order in your life (like a routine, or regular rhythm);  the desire to improve  your health or get better sleep.  Whatever area it is that needs  change, God is lining things up for that change and it will be EASY and FAST.  

This desire for change and growth is on your heart for a reason. And the grace for this change is coming now. 

You may need to take a step, but God will open the door for you.  And you’ll know in your spirit that it was Him who made a way for you here-because He cares for you.  This breakthrough will lead to blessing after blessing in your life.  Look for the goodness of God!  

God is opening a door for your breakthrough.  Through a quick shift, there will be sudden momentum and grace to make the change that’s been in your heart for some time.  God is lining things up, and when you step in to do your part He will meet you with blessing after blessing. The blessings may look like new relationships, new friends, new helpers, new productivity and order, new breakthrough in health, or new financial blessings.  This word may be for you if you’ve been wanting to make a change in your life, but you’ve felt too busy to do it or like making the change would be too hard or stressful for the season of life you’re in.  God will open the door, but you will need to step through it.  You will know what you need to do when He makes a way that wasn’t there before.  If you’re unsure, ask God to show you.  

Deeper Healing

“Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5.23

Recently I stepped on a shard of glass.  Although I got most of it out immediately after I stepped on it, there was a small piece left that bothered me for the next several days. It festered and throbbed in my foot until I finally removed the final sliver of remaining glass.  This is a picture of what can happen within us when we don’t deal with stress, offense, or internal conflict.  It will fester until it comes out in one way or another.  In times of stress, we may not even recognize what internal conflict is going on.  However,  if we listen to our bodies, they will speak to us.  Are you having trouble sleeping?  Are you carrying tension in your neck and shoulders?  Are you having problems with your gut or your skin?  Could these be indicators of something else going on within you?  We are triune beings: body, soul and spirit and the three are more interconnected than most of us realize.  In this microwave culture we live in, we expect there to be an easy, fast answer for everything.  Is there a pill we can take to make this better?  Sometimes we need to go deeper than  the surface in order to heal what is at the root of the issue.  Why would we want to just fix the symptoms and not deal with the root cause?  

God is inviting us to reflect on what is going on inside of us in order that we may heal.  He’s highlighting things within our bodies that are connected to things in our souls.  Perhaps we’ve been going too fast for too long to see clearly, but now is the time to reflect on what is really going on.  This word is for those who feel their stress level is out of control, and that is manifesting physically in their bodies.  This is also for those who  sense  something unsettled within them and yet they don’t know the real source of their inner turmoil.  You may be  needing breakthroughs in your  heart and in your body.   God is bringing about healing and breakthroughs in your mind, body, and emotions by showing you where the source of your stress or exhaustion may lie. Follow where He leads you–for some it may be to inner healing or therapy. Others, He might ask to slow down and say “no” to something or prioritize rest and play over busyness. Still others, He might highlight a nutritional key or something else physically. God specifically wants to speak to YOU about the mind-body-spirit connection. 

Perfect Timing

“There will be no more sunsets or new moons,
or Yahweh will be your everlasting light
and your days of sadness will be over.
I am Yahweh, and when the right time comes,
I will accomplish it swiftly!”

Isaiah 60.20, 22b TPT

Some people may have felt lately like things are hard–like their timing is off and they just keep missing opportunities or connections.  It’s been frustrating, tiring, and a little heartbreaking at times.  They feel worn out and weary.  God is working all things together for your good.  You have not missed it.  Take comfort in knowing that He is working on your behalf and He is lining things up.  In a single moment everything will line up exactly as it should be and it will be easy (even effortless) as it will just happen precisely when it needs to.  The striving is over, the shame is laid down.  Glory in the peace that comes from knowing that God has made a way forward for you, perfectly aligning your steps at just this time.  Trust in knowing that He will make your path clear, leading you in ways that are plain to you.  For the time is now.  

He is lining up your steps.  Just as Proverbs 16.9 tells us that “A man plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps” God is leading you exactly where you need to go at precisely the right time.  Be mindful of the shift that is coming so you can partner with God when it happens.  This word is for people who feel like things have been hard lately and like nothing is lining up as it should.  Get ready for things to change!
