Have things in these last few months and days caused you to cut back on your desires and expectations? Do not allow your circumstances to cause you to scale back on your desires in this season. I know you want more but it’s impossible because of how things are with your money.
I know what it’s like to cut back on what you want because you don’t want to be disappointed. I found myself in a rut years ago. But one day I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me, and while He was talking, He challenged me not to stop dreaming, but to dream bigger and make bigger faith demands of Him. People of God this is not the time to scale back on believing God, because He is still as big as we want Him to be now as He was before. This is a time for you to jump-start your faith and dream again this year. There is such a strong witness from The Lord to stir our faith at this time.
When we look in the bible Jesus asked the lame man at the pool a few simple questions before healing him in John 5:4-9 KJV
Now let me ask you some questions saints; (1.) Do you want better for your life? (2.) Over time have you scaled back on what you asked God for? (3.) Have you decided to just put up with things the way they are?
I believe The Lord put on my heart to ask you these questions after waiting so long for some things to happen, and now here comes this pandemic which has devastated your faith fight. This is not a time to lose your passion and desire to stop believing for bigger and better for your life. As a pastor, I remember when scaling back was all I could think about and would say, God, I know “BUT” and the Holy Spirit had to immediately minister to me His Word and challenge me to keep stretching my faith. Ephesians 3:20 AMP
So People of God, say this with me: “It’s time to believe even bigger and better blessings for my life!” Saints, you can’t bankrupt God or ask for something bigger than He is able to deliver. Stop feeling guilty of cutting back on what God said you can have and what He (God) can do for you. This is a good season to renew your faith in the Word of God. The Lord spoke to me and showed me this powerful scripture in Isaiah 45:11 KJV, increase comes when it is desired and demanded.
When I saw this I said, “I am one of His children!” He was asking His children to command Him into action: He let me know that He waits for our request or intercession to come before Him so He can go to work on our behalf, God is looking for us! Ezekiel 22:30 KJV
