A word from the Lord about receiving

Open up your heart, open up your heart and let the Spirit of the Lord pour out on you the grace to receive.  Do not try to do it on your own.  “Let me do it, for I am fully able.”  It is not of works lest any man should boast.  

You still think, "I have to do something to make this happen."  It is like breathing, says the Lord.  You do it without thinking.  If you want to, you can block your air and stop breathing.  Not for long, though.  You will automatically gasp for air and receive it with great joy.  It is the same with receiving wealth.  You can stop it, you can hold off, but when you let it flow again, it brings great relief and joy.

Allow the Lord thy God to bless you.  Do not be like an asthmatic and become short of breath sometimes.  Do not be like a person with COPD and always be short of breath.  Be like a young, strong athlete who, even after great effort, is quickly restored to breathing easily.

Receive like breathing.  Get started by taking a deep breath and never stop breathing again.

In Position to Grow and Go Forward

Would you agree, from the depth of your heart that it would be a wonderful thing if you received a fivefold return on what you gave? Wouldn’t you be blessed, find yourself jumping up and down and shouting for joy?  Perhaps you would be wiser to receive something rather than to try for everything and end up frustrated.

If you are looking for a return on your giving, receive the amount that you can believe for, not the amount you would like to receive. You will be able to put your faith behind receiving what you can receive instead of your “hope” trying to get what you would like to receive.  Receiving a half of a loaf and enjoying it is better than hoping for a whole loaf and finding yourself left hungry.  Receiving the half of a loaf will encourage you, while waiting for the whole loaf to arrive often discourages you.  Faith encouraged increases your ability to allow for the next opportunity to present itself.  Receive what you can now and plant again for the next harvest.

If you will receive the lower level of return that you really can believe for, you will create a success. Once you have experienced success, you can rejoice, replant your seed and receive another harvest.  Success breeds success.  Allow yourself to win the bronze and then move to the silver, which will enable you to live with the GOLD.

You are an automatic winner at any level of receiving.  Allow yourself to rejoice in the return you receive, have more seed to sow, increase your faith and put yourself in position to grow and go forward.

Do not get greedy when you find yourself needy.

Are You in Position to Receive?

Luke 6:38 (NKJV)

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Meditate on the above scriptures. Let them be written on the tablet of your heart, so that fruit might abound to your account.

Give and it shall be given, God is not mocked.  Receive, Receive, Receive what the Lord has for you.  It is God’s desire that you are richly blessed.  His Son Jesus, your brother, died so that you could be redeemed from the curse of the Law.  His death, burial and resurrection have put you in position to receive all you are willing to receive.

“Lord, I do not take lightly the price You have paid for me and I receive my return in Your name, for Your honor and glory.”
