親愛的結盟守望者:
禱告代求叫我們頭上天地間的門持續打開。以撒‧皮爾斯在主日崇拜時,突然開始激烈地打起鼓來。芭芭拉‧溫卓寶(Barbara Wentroble)和蓋斯‧皮爾斯(Keith Pierce)翻譯這被釋放出來的聲音和伴隨而來麗安‧史奎爾(LeAnn Squier)的靈歌。
芭芭拉開始預言主的話:「今天有許多人講到全球溫室效應,我要說我有一個全球溫室效應,因為我正在全地我的子民中點燃火焰。此時此刻就像是火在你們的骨頭裡燃燒著。但這時刻我要帶來釋放。火不再關鎖在你們的骨頭內,因我已預備好釋放我聖潔的火在全地之上。看我在我子民心裡帶來全球溫室效應;在這個季節我要融化最冰冷的心靈。
甚至一個新的傳福音恩膏要臨到你們。我要使那長期被抑制的火發旺延燒。現在進到這新時刻,我要在各個方面突圍。看我開始爭戰。看我在那最不可能的地方釋放我的火。甚至在那些曾試著要使我無聲的地方,我說我準備好要突圍了。沒有任何人,沒有任何政府,可以在這個時刻止住我的聲音。所以要知道,我正帶來的溫室效應是聖潔的火,在這新的季節,藉著我的子民,要在全地點燃。」
蓋斯‧皮爾斯接著說:「當以撒開始打鼓時,我看到引燃發生。當火一點燃,我就看到火從我們的指頭射出。主說:『在這個季節手所觸摸的所在,新供應會出現。手所觸摸的所在,仇敵要屈身。在未來的日子我要使用你們按手在許多人身上,因為就在今天這時刻起我要轉化一個國家。』我不斷看見南太平洋的海水在昇溫,並開始沸騰。『我會找一群人展開尋找這攪動的根源之旅。』」
芭芭拉加上主這話:「我要說即便仇敵使南太平洋沸騰是要帶來毀壞;我卻要使一群人在這時刻興起。他們會使那原來要毀壞的來成就我的旨意。我要給你們勝過風和浪的能力。就像我兒子對風說話、對浪說話一樣,命令它們靜了吧,這是你們向毀滅性的風和浪說話,使它們靜下來的時刻。那本來要帶來毀滅的,我會在這時刻使之成就我的旨意。」
蓋斯繼續說:「聽爭戰的聲音,因為它正在成形。當它成形時我的子民會興起。當他們興起,他們會領受新的外袍。他們會領受新的權柄。他們會以新的方式伸出他們的手。伸出你們的手面對敵擋的風。對惡風說:『住了吧!你不能將蝗蟲帶到我的地土上。靜了吧!你不可進到我的貨輪。止住消散吧。』今天是我耶和華沙龍的日子。我是你們的平安。在風暴中,我是你們的昌盛。」
進到你們得勝之路!
七天禱告焦點:釋放你們看見自己的未來
親愛的朋友:
我剛結束祈安在帕莎蒂娜舉行的「先知性先見會議」。這聚會無法言喻。從今天開始是新的28天靈修系列:28天進到你們得勝之路!靈修和禱告焦點釋放你們看見自己的未來!
我們以進到主裡面開啟這個禮拜、並容許主打開我們的眼睛,叫我們能看見!看見是先知性的層次,叫你們得著邁進未來所需要的啟示。沒有先知性啟示,民就滅亡。這是我們先看見才聽見的季節!預備好你們的眼睛被打開!
我加州的好朋友瑪麗蓮和葛林‧路爾達將家中杏樹的照片(幾天前拍下的)寄給我。羅勃特‧海德勒曾解釋過杏樹是春天第一個開花的樹,象徵著季節的變換。杏樹也代表看守的能力。主留意保守祂的話使之成就。讓我們看見我們的應許成就來開始這個季節(尤太曆的5770 AYIN年)。
當我們進入這看見的季節時,讓我們像耶利米,當主問他說:「你看見甚麼?」他回答說:「我看見一根杏樹枝。」看下面……讓我們以看見杏樹來開始這一個季節,看祂「留意保守祂的話使之成就!」以下是靈修系列的第一天。主指教我幫助我們「看得」更好。在看的過程中,我們以新的看法來看我們的仇敵。祂顯給我看一個敵擋我們的靈界三股合成的勢力!這個邪惡結構包含窮乏、軟弱和自憐。這些靈一同作工試著要弄瞎我們,攔阻我們看見主在我們生命中所預備的美好。讓我們開始去「看」,轉眼「觀看」主以新的方式向我們顯現祂自己。進入第一天!
第一天:越過窮乏的靈來「看」!
教會正處在不可思議的改變季節,我相信我們都感受到在我們裡面和週遭的改變。我可以聽到主對我們說:「你們所種下的會開始結出豐富的果子了。」有恩典降下叫我們的奉獻可以倍增─30倍到100倍。這是藉著「給」來打破奪取神的咒詛、贏得勝利的季節。5770年的希伯來文字母的符號Ayin不光指「看」而已,這個字的意思是發芽!我宣告在這一年和未來的季節裡,你們會看見你們所有已種下的,每一個你們「種下的」,倍增、開花、萌芽!
為你們的生命、家庭、地域、生意和服事呼求打開天上的門。求主使祂的光照在一切黑暗中,好叫你們能看見!若是天上的窗戶打開,每一個在過去網羅我們的黑暗勢力會逃跑。當天門打開,地土就重新與天上合一。當天門打開,人們敬拜,神重新與人與地土立約。人的權柄啟動神的大能!祂就為我們爭戰!我們需要更新的風從敞開的天門來,吹在我們身上,產生得勝!得勝是擊敗仇敵或對手。當我們面對一些困難,或在路徑上遇到攔阻時,我們奮鬥取得順利,得勝就出現!得勝就是已取得勝利的狀態。
我感到必須打破一個連於窮乏之靈的循環。處在物質社會裡,這個靈使我們瞎眼看不見神的旨意。我們必須宣告勝過窮乏的靈!這個靈破壞神完美的秩序,在許多人身上造成不安。我感到主在說,關乎這個靈,我們必須為基督的身體強力熱切地站立─我們必須在困難和風暴中竭力前進,造成氛圍的改變。
我宣告任何環繞你或你權柄範圍的窮乏氛圍會被天上來的祝福和榮耀所取代。來看祂的榮耀,再來看看窮乏是怎樣對你們說的。基督的身體需要看見我們的供應恢復!恢復常與倍增相連。我們生命中的負債和過去財務失敗需要翻轉過來。我們累代咒詛中任何窮乏的靈,使我們無法進入神為我們預備的豐滿昌盛的,都必須被破除。主正在打破祂子民身上乞求的權勢。祂正在造作我們成為信心的族類。祂會改變祂百姓的身份,從乞丐到君王!求祂現在顯明窮乏!看窮乏是怎樣在你生命中作工。明日我們會再繼續。
讀創世記6-8章……挪亞在祂眼前蒙恩。天地連合。
默想創世記45章,特別是11節:「我要在那裏奉養你;因為還有五年的饑荒,免得你和你的眷屬,並一切所有的,都敗落了。」(和合本)
背誦箴言11章24節:「有施散的,卻更增添;有吝惜過度的,反致窮乏。」(和合本)
第二天:「窮乏」拒絕看見神最好的!
這些靈修的回響真叫我們驚喜。我要確定你們取得動能,好在逾越節時你們已完全地進入新的,並繼續前進到主在這個季節裡最美好的。麗莎‧萊恩斯剛寫信來。她正要從這裡搬到丹頓。她在做每日靈修,這是她的分享:「在過去兩個禮拜的搬家過程中,主向我顯明一些有趣的事,看窮乏是怎樣運作的。一是,在牠的影響下你們永不能爭戰或有效地建造,因為牠不會允許你們真正地『計算在你們面前的花費』,這使得你們低估,便宜行事,對可能的『偉人』視而不見,好叫事情『負擔得起』,或『可行』。拒絕承認偉人的存在跟轉背逃跑一樣糟糕。」
這是今天的靈修:
在物質社會裡,我們所對抗最大的靈似乎是三股合成的捆綁中的第二根綁繩:窮乏。(在接下來的日子,我們會處理軟弱和自憐的股繩。)窮乏使我們無法成為神所創造並命定的樣式!窮乏包括不相信主能將我們接枝到祂豐盛計劃裡的想法。
窮乏不但只是在經歷到缺乏,也是懼怕我們會缺乏。當我們將自己的環境順應週遭世界的藍圖時,窮乏就會出現。因此,我們永遠無法看見神真正要將我們造作成的樣子。當這個世界的神環繞影響我們只存留世界觀,使得我們忘了神在我們的景況中是有能力的,窮乏就會出現。窮乏是就那聲音說:「神是不能的!」
窮乏可以透過不同的管道出現。兩種最常見的是壓制和錯誤的權力結構(參賽5:8)。恐懼會使我們生發出貪婪或貪食的思維(參箴23:21)並生出窮乏。窮乏會使我們變得懶散或懶惰(參箴24:33-34)。當我們落入「急速發財」的謀算中時,急速導致窮乏(參箴28:22)。當我們拒絕聖靈,消除了主的祝福,窮乏就會出現。
窮乏的起因是什麼?
在我們生命中窮乏的主要起因是收割莊稼失敗。當我們不去收取莊稼,一個窮乏思維就會來敵對我們。許多時候,仇敵會直等到我們收割莊稼時才發展毀壞的策略來敵對我們。就像米甸人常偷取以色列人的莊稼(參士6),仇敵已經訂定計劃要吃掉我們的資產和收益。我們可以栽種。我們可以看著我們的穀物長成。我們甚至可以有收成的時刻。但我們若沒有抓住機會來收取、管理莊稼,窮乏的計謀就會展開敵擋我們。當我們加增時卻沒有發展出倉庫來收藏我們已收割的,仇敵就會有路得著我們的餘剩和未來。
其他窮乏的起因包括:與那不合神心意的超高利率結構連結(希5:1-5),恐懼和不願意面對我們的仇敵(箴22:13),和屈服於信仰的逼迫(參林後6和8章)。
命令所有入侵到你們氛圍裡的窮乏權勢和瞎眼離開!
讀士師記6章/背誦箴言28:22/默想尼希米記5章
第三天:破除窮乏的爭戰!
若你們被差派去爭戰卻輸了戰役,必承受責難直到你們贏得下一場得勝為止。許多在基督身體裡的人害怕爭戰。但爭戰是必須的,好征服仇敵,並取得那應許給我們的產業。爭戰是領受恩典來作戰(參提前6:12,提後2:3-4)。爭戰是領受得勝所需的軍備(參弗6:11-17)。爭戰製造了我們進入得勝的機會(參啟3:21)。
主使用軍隊,伴隨著號角聲和爭戰的呼喊,帶祂的子民出埃及(參出12:51)。祂用約櫃─神的同在,帶他們出來(參撒上4:5-6)。在有需要時,祂使用自然界的力量幫助他們擊敗仇敵(參書10)。神常釋出謀略使我們可以擄掠仇敵所有的,得昌盛,得以站立(參太10;弗6)。祂以得勝的旌旗在我們以上。當耶和華尼西在我們以上用旌旗遮蓋我們,萬軍之耶和華差派天軍來幫助我們。祂是全地上軍隊的神(參撒上17:45),是看不見的天軍的神(參王上22:19),祂是萬軍之耶和華(參羅9:29)。祂早已預備得勝在等著給你們!看你們得勝窮乏!
我們與窮乏相戰就需要以仁慈慷慨對待他人。與窮乏相戰,就像路得在波阿斯的田裡一樣,我們必須容許人們在我們的葡萄園拾取,讓他們可以得著我們的餘剩(參得2)。我們與窮乏相戰,要發展謀略來幫助那些被制度性窮乏蹂躪的人。換句話說,我們幫助他人得著智慧如何脫離撒但所使用捆綁他們的財務制度。我們也需要發展收割的策略(參摩9:13)。當我們如此行時,我們得勝,而我們的加增會從倍增到倍增。
給,出離窮乏!
給予可能是基督身體裡最具爭議性的議題之一。給予不是指帶著支票或錢到教會去。給予,是建立在敬拜祭壇前的盟約關係。當我們承認我們的王是公義的、是合法合理的,給予就發生。我們稱頌主,因此祂就公義地為我們站立。當我們敬拜時,給予就發生!當我們以慷慨和祝福回應權柄時,給予就發生。當我們明白小的是被大的祝福時─神是那更大的君王,我們應當想將所有的都獻給祂,給予就發生。當我們對神所交託在我們手中的毫不保留,給予就發生!找一個奉獻的地方。我每天醒來都求主將給予的機會向我顯明。祂賜給我們祂的愛子,除去我們的窮乏!
走出埃及的世代因著被奴役充滿了窮乏。因此,他們抗拒那必需、為要建立他們在神豐盛應許中的爭戰。他們的恐懼造成他們對神旨意的看法是矇蔽和混淆的。他們失去前進、進入順利的能力。他們只看見他們的仇敵,看不見他們的得勝!仇敵怕他們,因為仇敵知道神作他們的後盾。豐盛等候著神立約的子民,而這必須等待直到另一個發展出統管思維的世代。
我宣告你們順利。願你們蒙福,並你們手中的工作盡都順利!主會給我們能力適應每一個環境,好叫我們能夠成功順利,帶出祂立約的計劃(申8:18)。順利是指追趕、擄掠仇敵,得著或佔領牠的領域。就是掌管主分派給我們的地方或位份。當我們成就神對我們生命的救贖計劃時,順利就出現了。若我們領受啟示,尊榮先知,在對的時間在對的地方做對的事情,我們會順利。
約書亞記一章8節說:「這律法書不可離開你的口,總要晝夜思想,好使你謹守遵行這書上所寫的一切話。如此,你的道路就可以亨通,凡事順利。」當我們為人有智慧,行事謹慎,當我們學習發展技巧和知識,順利就發生了。在我們的路上總有幫手叫我們凡事順利。
讀、默想民數記14章;約書亞記1章;申命記1-2章、20章
第四天:進入財富之路!
我們處在看見和建立我們未來的世紀。在這時刻,神的應許從一個世代延續到另一個世代。我們是被呼召以新思維來敬拜,藉著我們的給予留下紀念!
當雅各逃離以掃出外探索時,他走了三天到了伯特利。那一晚,他拾起「一塊石頭」枕著睡了,神給他一個異夢,看見一個梯子(或譯作階梯)頂著天立在地上。
約翰福音一章解釋梯子象徵了耶穌基督。雅各沒有注意到神是靠近他的。許多人在生命的旅程上沒有注意到主離我們有多近,救我們出離一切的爛攤子和操弄。祂為我們打開天門,帶下天上的祝福進入我們的生命中。祂自己就可以帶我們到天上去。雅各以為他是在寂靜的曠野,但他發現他其實就在天之門!雅各,仍有自己的謀算,將所有的十分之一獻給神,只要神在他前面的旅程中與他同在,帶他進入他命定的豐盛。我們可以「看見進入新層面財富之路」。
我們已被賦予得著財富和富有的能力!
財富是指有豐盛的產業或資源。在列祖的世代,財富大多以牲口來計算─綿羊、山羊、牛、驢和駱駝。對亞伯拉罕(參創13:2)、以撒(參創26:12-14)和雅各而言(參創30:43; 32:5),就是如此。古代的人也以土地、房屋、僕人、奴隸和寶貴金屬來衡量財富。最有名的例子是所羅門王,他那廣大的財富記載在列王紀上10:14-29。得財富的能力是盟約晉升的關鍵(申8)。
永不要忘記─財富是來自於神!先知阿摩司向著以色列的富戶和在昌盛中的居民發出雷聲:他們「為銀子賣了義人,為一雙鞋賣了窮人。」(摩2:6)他們的財富是污穢的,受咒詛的,因為是從剝削窮乏人而得的。財富和金錢是不一樣的事。許多時候我們看我們有多少錢,以此決定我們信心的層度。當我們看到銀行戶頭的餘額,我們或焦慮或信心上升。金錢可以是易物和貸出的好工具,或者是,貪財是萬惡之根。
相比之下,「富有」指的是領受聖靈的恩典,使我們能完成我們所被呼召的。人的禮物使人聯想到財富。富有聯想到的是累積,或我們已積攢的。因著我們的富有,所以有管理計劃。我們更多正確地管理我們的富有,我們會領受更多。這不只是金錢課題!神正在尋找那在他們管家位份上會轉化的人,好叫祂可以釋放財富轉移。
向上看!以新思維看你們的供應。以新思維看你們的財富。以新思維看你們的金錢供應。看怎樣拿你們有的,使之倍增!看你們在任務上的增長!
讀創世記13章、28章;申命記8章/默想路加福音19章
第五天:看見過去的貪婪、不信和害怕
我很享受這些每日靈修。許多人在看見窮乏在他們生命中工作,得著啟示。我親愛的弟兄蓋夫‧皮爾斯(Keith Pierce),一位很棒的先知,寄來這個:「我看見在一群孩子面前有一盤餅乾,窮乏說:『至少抓三片,要快回來抓最後一片,因為很快餅干就被沒了。』供應說:『沒有關係的,你們可以拿最後一片,不要擔心,因為媽媽會烤更多出來,因為她愛你們,要滿足你們每一個人。』要知道神就像媽媽一樣,總是預備足夠的供應。我們未來的供應材料總不短缺。主有很多方法創造豐盛。多到等著你們來求。祂會供應。恐懼使我們抓住不放!貪婪使我們成為暴民!」
雪洛‧普來斯(Sheryl Price),基督身體一個重要的使徒性領袖,寫給我的信息:「在列王紀下6章,我們看到以利沙和他的僕人被亞蘭(敘利亞)大軍包圍。這衝著他們而來的攻擊,是因為先知揭露關乎亞蘭王軍事計劃的超自然信息。以利沙似乎對即將發生的攻擊視若無睹,但是他的僕人相當掛慮。他所能看見的,每一個他看到的方向,都是軍兵,而且都是衝著他而來的!恐懼和不信抓住他的心,隨著分秒過去,他的焦慮增加。
在這Ayin的季節,主渴望開我們的眼睛,不是看我們眼睛直接所看到的,乃是看祂所看見的!從有時間起,祂對我們的計劃就是叫我們透過嵌入信心眼鏡的屬靈眼睛來看。神如此行好叫我們肉眼不是被我們的短視和不信引導,而是被天上的眼界來引導。祂創造亞當和夏娃時他們就有這種能力,當他們天天與祂團契,他們以信心的屬靈眼睛仰望看見祂。
亞當能夠看著眾多動物給牠們一一命名。若他只是用他自然的眼睛看到這任務,面對他任務的巨大他很可能昏過去了。當蛇欺哄夏娃,她和亞當犯了罪,我們低下本性的眼睛打開了。就在那一刻我們失去從天上眼光看事物的能力。但感謝神!我們被寶血分別為聖,被它赦罪的能力潔淨,路已為我們開了,重拾我們真實的視力。再一次看見!
以利沙能以大信心面對危急的狀況,因為他看見一些他僕人看不見的。得力於天上的眼光,他一整天充滿確信,神是站在他那邊的,仇敵所能做都不能傷害他。他沒有什麼好怕。終究,他可以看見那與他同在的比與那包圍他的小群亞蘭軍更多。以利沙看出他僕人的恐懼和不信,就向神呼求叫這人的靈眼可以被打開。神回應,僕人就看見!屬天的眼界立即叫他充滿信心!經文告訴我們,有火車和火的天使遍滿山谷,受差來保護神的僕人。」
這樣看來神有忘記你們和你們現在嚴重的困境嗎?你們是否感到被仇敵如此環繞,以致你們認為毫無出路?神說:「再看一次!」今天祂正在開啟你的靈眼來看祂所看見的。祂正把你放在天上的制高點。祂正在給你們大信心的能力,毫不畏懼地勝過你們面前的每一場爭戰。主啊,開我們的眼睛,叫我們能看見!不必為你們的未來緊抓,供應就在那裡,你們可以看得見的。
讀列王記上6章/背誦創世記3:7/默想歷代志上21:16;路加福音24:31
第六天:安息日,更乾淨的窗戶,幫助我們看見!
我們已經宣告窮乏不能再掌管我們或叫我們瞎眼。我們的良心是看見的關鍵!當耶穌定義良心時,祂告誡我們,我們視力的敵人是瑪門。馬太福音6:19-24說:「不要為自己積攢財寶在地上;地上有蟲子咬,能銹壞,也有賊挖窟窿來偷。只要積攢財寶在天上;天上沒有蟲子咬,不能銹壞,也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷。因為你的財寶在哪裏,你的心也在那裏。
眼睛就是身上的燈。你的眼睛若瞭亮,全身就光明;你的眼睛若昏花,全身就黑暗。你裏頭的光若黑暗了,那黑暗是何等大呢!一個人不能事奉兩個主;不是惡這個、愛那個,就是重這個、輕那個。你們不能又事奉神,又事奉瑪門(擴大版:騙人的財富,金錢,產業,或任何信賴的)。」
我們怎樣看,我們的心渴慕什麼,和我們服事的是誰之間,有很重要的關係。巴布狄倫(Bob Dylan)的歌「你們總要服事一些人(You Gotta Serve Somebody」」是那麼真切!神造我們來服事祂,一個禮拜分別一天安息,默想祂對我們生命的意義。這是我們看見的關鍵。因為六日之內,耶和華造天、地、海,和其中的萬物,第七日便安息,所以耶和華賜福與安息日,定為聖日。(出20:11)
藉著紀念安息日會使我們看得更清楚?在西奈山上,神告訴以色列要守安息日,定為聖日。就是說不要做任何有創造性的工作,從前一個禮拜的循環中出來。神在六日之內創造萬物,第七日便安息。要成為神真實的兒女,誡命吩咐我們要在安息日安息。最近在拉斯維加斯,我求問神:「這裡真正的問題是什麼?」我聽到祂說:「這裡的文化沒有安息日!」我們必須承認安息日直到天地都廢去(太5:17-19)。當我們如此行,我們是承認祂是所有受造物和時間的主。這是先尋求祂和能看見的一部份。對那先尋求祂的人,有祝福、異象和賞賜給他們!
以賽亞書58:13-14說:「你若在安息日掉轉(或譯:謹慎)你的腳步,在我聖日不以操作為喜樂,稱安息日為可喜樂的,稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的;而且尊敬這日,不辦自己的私事,不隨自己的私意,不說自己的私話,你就以耶和華為樂。耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處,又以你祖雅各的產業養育你。這是耶和華親口說的。」(和合本)
就在今天與祂親密,尋求祂,打破每個禮拜的舊循環,以新的思維來看祂。求祂潔淨你們良心中在前一個禮拜中任何被世界入侵的,預備你們在未來的一個禮拜看見!
良心是我們魂與靈之間的窗戶。這個窗戶很容易被玷污。潔淨這窗子,安息日佔很重要的部份。《簡樸的獎賞》(The Rewards of Simplicity)會給你們這方面更多的看見。潘‧皮爾斯詳細地解釋了安息日。羅勃特‧海德勒也有一本很好的書《彌賽亞信徒教會興起》The Messianic Church Arising,會幫助你們明白這一個原則。
讀以賽亞書58章/默想、背誦馬太福音6:22-24
第七天:收復你們借了卻似乎失去的
這世界的思慮使人眼瞎。那麼多的人的債務結構是那麼的沈重,攔阻了他們建造和清楚地看見未來。我們有借貸的自由,但我們必須記得無論借什麼,我們必須要小心看管直到歸還原主。琳達‧海德勒最近寫給我一篇文章,關於列王紀下6章一段經文。這是廣為人知的「浮上來的斧頭」或「收復你們借了卻似乎失去的」。琳達寫著:
「我在借斧頭這段經文中看到一些心得。借斧頭的是個好人。然而,一旦我們借了任何東西,我們必須負責歸還。在這人的服事中,他失去了所用的。不僅失去本身是一件難事,更重要的是他所用的是借來的。因為丟了東西,他所欠的債他無法歸還。這是關於脫離債務的重要經文。這年輕的先知需要尋求資深先知的智慧來找回他所失去的!
歷代志下20:20鼓勵我們「信祂的先知就必亨通」。若你尋求先知性的指引並跟隨著做,你會看見神介入,使你脫離債務!這就是發生在我們身上的事,當時我們欠了很多的債,你告訴我們賣掉房子來還債,那是1997年。從1997年2月到11月,大概花了將近一年時間將屋子弄得夠好可以出售。就在那時候,我們社區的房地產突然大大升值,而房貸利息卻大跌。我們賣掉房子,還清債務,並且還有餘蓋我們現在的房子,新房子幾乎是舊房子的兩倍大,三倍於它的價值。
債務會使人眼瞎。當我們借用,必須記得我們有義務去償還。許多人感到陷在債務中,到了一個地步只想有人除去這重擔,或者償還他們所借的。這樣行違反了求問、領受、遵循先知性指引的原則。我們每一個人都有一些我們可以使用的東西。你有還清債務的資源。不要害怕放下你所有的,不要害怕會一無所有。
來找你之前,我們曾想過賣掉房子還債,但是我們很害怕會一無所有。如果要遵循你給的建議,我們必須信靠神,祂不會使我們欠缺,祂會供應我們所需用的。我們從來沒想過祂會供應這麼地多,遠超過我們所能想的。斧頭的事是神蹟,但當我想到發生在我們身上的事,那也是神蹟。遵循先知的話還債,需要信心,但你若如此行,你必亨通。」
讓我們求主挪去那使我們眼瞎的債務。感謝祂從債務中救贖你出來,叫祂可以顯明給你看,今天怎樣從環繞你的任何債務中得拯救。就算是你已失去所借回來的,你可以追回!你可以越過債務,看見你的路。
讀列王記下6章/背誦歷代志下20:20/默想約翰福音3章。

The South Pacific Boils!
PLUS Day 1-7 Prayer Focus to Release You to See Your Future
Dear Aligned Watchmen:
Prayer and intercession is keeping the portal between Heaven and Earth opened over us. During one portion of our Sunday morning service, Isaac Pierce began to play a drum with great intensity. The sound that was released and accompanied in song by LeAnn Squier was interpreted by Barbara Wentroble and Keith Pierce.
Barbara began to prophesy the word of the Lord, "For many today would speak of a global warming. I would say that I have a global warming for I am igniting a flame within the hearts of My people throughout the earth. This is an hour that it has been like fire shut up within your bones. But I am coming with a release this hour. No longer will the fire be shut up within your bones, but I am getting ready to release My holy fire in the earth. Watch Me as I bring a global warming in the hearts of My people; as I melt the very coldest of hearts in this season.
"Even a new evangelistic anointing will be upon you. I am going to cause the fire that has been withheld for so long to break forth. Now enter in to a new time when I shall break forth on every side. Watch Me begin to war. Watch Me begin to loose My fire in the most unlikely places. Even in those places where there has been an attempt to silence My voice, I say I'm getting ready to break out. No man, no government will be able to stop My voice in this hour. So know that the warming that I am bringing will be a holy fire and it shall be ignited throughout the earth through My people in this new season."
Keith Pierce then said, "The moment that Isaac began to hit the drum, I saw ignition occur. As it ignited I saw fire begin to shoot out from our fingertips. The Lord says, 'Where the hand touches this season, new provision will occur. Where the hand touches, the enemy will bow. I will use you in days ahead to lay hands on many because I will shift a nation from this point this day.' I keep seeing the waters of the South Pacific warming and beginning to bubble. 'I will have a group of people that I will put on a journey that will seek out the root of this churning.'"
Barbara added this word of the Lord, "I would say even that boiling up in the South Pacific that is designed by the enemy for destruction; I am going to have a people who will rise up in this hour. They will turn what was meant for destruction into My purposes. I am going to give you power over the winds and over the waves. Even as My Son spoke to the winds and spoke to the waves and commanded them to be still, this is the hour that you will speak to the destructive winds and to the destructive waves and you shall cause them to be stilled. That that was meant for destruction, I shall turn it for My purposes in this hour."
Keith continued, "Listen to the sound of war because it is building. When it builds My people will arise. When they arise, they will come to their new mantle. They will receive their new authority. They will extend their hands in a new way. Extend your hands and face the contrary wind. Speak to the ill winds and say, 'Cease. You will not bring the locust across my land. Cease. You will not enter my cargo ship. Cease and desist.' Today is the day that I am Jehovah-Shalom. I am your peace. I am your prosperity in the midst of the storm."
See Your Way into Victory! Day 1-7 Prayer Focus to Release You to See Your Future
Dear Friends:
I just left Ché Ahn's Prophetic Seer Conference in Pasadena. The meetings were incredible. Beginning today is the new Devotional Series, 28 Days to See Your Way into Victory! Devotions and Prayer Focus to Release You to See Your Future! We begin this week by entering into and allowing the Lord to open our eyes so we may SEE! Seeing is a prophetic dimension that allows you to gain the revelation you need to advance into your future. Without prophetic revelation a people perish. This is a season to SEE before we HEAR! Get ready for your eyes to be opened!
My dear friends in California, Marilyn and Glenn Noorda, just sent this picture (which was taken just a few days ago) of their Almond Tree. Robert Heidler has explained how the almond tree is the first tree that blossoms, representing the change in season. This tree also represents the power of watching. The Lord is watching to perform His Word. Let us begin this season of AYIN 5770 (the Jewish calendar year) by seeing the performance of our promises.
As we enter this season of SEEING, let us be like Jeremiah as the Lord asked him, "What do you see?" He answered, "I see an almond tree!" Look below...start this season by seeing the almond tree and watching for the performance of His Word! Below is the first day of devotions. The Lord instructed me to help us "see" better. In the process of seeing, we see our enemy in a new way. He showed me a three-fold spiritual force set against us! This evil structure consists of poverty, infirmity, and self-pity. These spirits work together in an attempt to blind and stop us from seeing the Lord's best in our lives. Let's begin to SEE, and then turn aside to LOOK as the Lord manifests Himself to us in a new way. Enter into Day 1!
Day 1: See Past a Spirit of Poverty!
The Church is in an incredible season of change, and I believe we are all sensing those changes in us and around us. I can hear the Lord saying to us, "What you seed will begin to produce great fruit." There is a grace for our offerings to multiply—thirty to a hundredfold. This is a season to gain victory through giving in order to break the curse of robbing God. The Hebrew letter symbol for the year 5770, Ayin, not only means to see, but the word means to BUD FORTH! I declare that in this year and season ahead, you will see everything you have seeded, and everything you do seed, multiply, blossom and bud forth!
Cry out for an open Heaven over your life, family, territory, business, and ministry. Ask the Lord to shine His Light on all darkness so you can see! If the windows of Heaven open, every dark spiritual force that has trapped us in the past will flee. When the Heavens open, the Earth comes into a divine realignment. When the Heavens open, man worships and God renews covenant with man and the earth. Man's authority activates God's power! He then wars on our behalf! We need a wind of change from an open Heaven to blow upon us and produce victory! Victory is the defeat of an enemy or opponent. Victory occurs when we gain success in a struggle against some difficulty or some obstacle that is impeding our path! Victory is the state of having triumphed.
One cycle that I feel we must break is linked to the spirit of poverty. In a materialistic society, this spirit tends to blind us from seeing the will of God. We must declare victoryover the spirit of poverty! This spirit has violated God's perfect order and produced instability in many individuals. I feel that the Lord is saying that we need to take a violent and passionate stand on behalf of the Body of Christ concerning this spirit—that we must press through difficulties and storms to force an atmospheric change.
I declare that any atmosphere of poverty encircling around you or your sphere of authority will be invaded with the atmosphere of blessing and glory from Heaven. See His glory and then see how poverty is speaking to you. The Body of Christ needs to see restoration in our provision! Restoration is always linked with multiplication. Debt and past financial defeats in our lives need to reverse. Any spirit of poverty that has held our generational bloodlines in captivity and kept us from the fullness of the prosperity that God has for us must be broken. The Lord is breaking the power of begging in His people. He is making us a people of faith. He will change the identity of His people from beggars to kings! Ask HIM to reveal POVERTY now. See how poverty works in your life. Tomorrow we will continue.
Read Genesis 6-8...Noah found favor in His EYE. The Heavens and earth realign.
Meditate on Genesis 45, especially verse 11, There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine. (NKJV)
Memorize Proverbs 11:24, There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right...but it leads to poverty. (NKJV)
Day 2: Poverty Refuses to See God's Best!
The comments we are getting on these devotions are amazing. I want to be sure you gain momentum so that by Passover you have fully moved into the new, and are progressing toward the Lord's best for this season. Lisa Lyons just wrote. She is in the process of moving here to Denton. She is doing the daily devotions, and this is what she shared: "During this moving process the last couple of weeks, the Lord has shown me some interesting things about how poverty operates. One is that you can never war or build effectively under its influence because it will not allow you to truly 'count the cost' of what is set before you...it causes you to underestimate, cut corners, and turn a blind eye to potential 'giants' in order to make the thing 'affordable' or 'do-able'. Refusing to acknowledge the existence of the giants is just as bad as running from them!"
Here is today's devotion:
The greatest spirit that we seem to be contending with in our material society is the second cord in the three-fold braid of captivity: poverty. (In the following days we will address the cords of infirmity and self-pity.) Poverty is refusing to become what God has created and destined us to be! Poverty includes the mindset of not believing that the Lord can branch us into the fullness of His plan.
Poverty is not just experiencing lack but also the fear that we will lack. Poverty occurs when we conform our circumstances to the blueprint that the world has surrounded us with. Therefore we never SEE who God really made us to be. Poverty occurs when the god of this world surrounds and influences us with only a world perspective, causing us to forget God's ability in the midst of our circumstances. Poverty is the voice that says, "God is not able!"
Poverty can occur through various means. Two of the most common are oppression and wrong authoritative structures (see Isaiah 5:8). Fear can cause us to develop a mentality of covetousness or gluttony (see Proverbs 23:21) and produce poverty. Poverty causes us to become indolent or lazy (see Proverbs 24:33-34). Haste leads to poverty (see Proverbs 28:22), which occurs when we fall into "get rich quick" schemes. Poverty can occur if we resist the Holy Spirit and therefore negate the blessings of the Lord.
What Are the Causes of Poverty?
The main cause for poverty in our lives is the failure to harvest. When we do not gather the harvest, a poverty mentality is set against us. Many times, the enemy will wait until our harvest time to develop strategies of devastation against us. Like the Midianites who always stole the harvest from the Israelites (see Judges 6), the enemy has already devised a plan to eat up our assets and returns. We can plant. We can watch our crops grow. We can even have a time of harvest. But if we do not take our opportunity to gather and steward the harvest, a strategy of poverty will begin to develop against us. When we increase without developing the storehouses to contain what we have harvested, the enemy will gain access to our excess and to our future.
Other causes of poverty include: aligning with structures that cause interest rates to go beyond a godly mentality of interest (see Nehemiah 5:1-5), fear and an unwillingness to face our enemy (see Proverbs 22:13), and (succumbing to) persecution of faith (see 2 Corinthians 6 and 8).
Command the power of poverty and all blindness that has invaded your atmosphere to leave!
Read Judges 6. Memorize Proverbs 28:22. Meditate on Nehemiah 5.
Day 3: The War to See Poverty Break!
If you are sent to war but lose the battle, you wear a reproach until you gain a subsequent victory. Many in the Body are afraid to war. But war is necessary in order to conquer our enemies and take possession of what has been promised to us. War is receiving grace to fight (see 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 2:3-4). War is receiving the necessary armor for victory (see Ephesians 6:11-17). War produces an opportunity for us to enter into victory (see Revelation 3:21).
The Lord used armies to bring His people out of Egypt (see Exodus 12:51) with a trumpet sound and a battle cry. He brought them out with the Ark, the presence of God (see 1 Samuel 4:5-6). He used forces of nature when necessary to help them defeat their enemies (see Joshua 10). God always releases strategies that enable us to plunder the enemies' holdings, to prosper and to stand (see Matthew 10; Ephesians 6). He has a banner of victory over us. While Jehovah Nissi puts a banner over us to cover us, the Lord Sabaoth sends the hosts of Heaven to help us. He is God of the armies of Earth (see 1 Samuel 17:45) and God of the unseen armies of angels (see 1 Kings 22:19). He is the Lord of the armies (see Romans 9:29). He already has victory for you! See your victory over poverty!
We are required to combat poverty by being kind and generous to others. Like Ruth in Boaz's field, we combat poverty by allowing people to glean in our vineyard and provide them with access to our excess (see Ruth 2). We combat poverty by developing strategies to help those who have been ravaged by systemic poverty. In other words, we help others gain wisdom on how to break out of the system that satan is using to hold them captive financially. We are also required to develop reaping strategies (see Amos 9:13). When we do this, we overcome and our increase will go from multiplication to multiplication.
Give Your Way Out of Poverty!
The issue of giving is probably one of the most controversial topics in the Body of Christ. Giving does not mean bringing a check or dollar to the Church. Rather, giving is built around a covenant relationship that is linked around an altar of worship. Giving occurs when we recognize that our King is righteous and legitimate. We bless the Lord so that He will take His stand righteously on our behalf. Giving occurs when we worship! Giving occurs when we respond to authority with generosity and blessing. Giving occurs when we realize the lesser is blessed by the greater—that God is the Greater King and we should want to give all to Him. Giving occurs when we do not hold back what we have been entrusted with by the Lord! Find a place to give. I awaken each day and ask the Lord to show me opportunities to give. He took our poverty by giving His Son!
The generation that came out of Egypt was filled with poverty resulting from slavery. Therefore, they resisted the war that would be necessary for them to be established in the abundance of God's promises. Their fear caused their perspective of God's purposes to be clouded and confused. They lost the ability to advance and enter into success. They could only see their enemy and not their victory! The enemy was in fear of them because they knew God was backing them. Riches were waiting for the covenant people of God and had to be postponed to another generation that would develop a mentality of dominion.
I decree that you succeed. May you be blessed and have success in all that you put your hands to! The Lord will give us the power to adapt to every circumstance so that we can have success and bring forth His covenant plan (see Deuteronomy 8:18). To succeed means to follow after, dispossess the enemy and possess or occupy his territory. It means to master the place or position that the Lord assigns to us. Success occurs when we accomplish God's redemptive plan for our lives. If we receive revelation, honor the prophets and are at the right place at the right time doing the right thing, we will succeed.
Joshua 1:8 says, This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Success occurs when we behave wisely and act prudently and when we study to develop skill and understanding. There is already help on our road to cause us to succeed.
Read and Meditate on Numbers 14, Joshua 1, and Deuteronomy 1-2, 20.
Day 4: See Your Way Into Wealth!
We are in an era of seeing and establishing our future. During this time, the Promises of God are extended from one generation to another. We are being called to worship in a new way and develop a memorial through our giving!
In Jacob's quest as he fled from Esau, he traveled three days to Bethel. That night, he took "one of the stones" to rest against as he slept, and God gave him a vision of a ladder (or staircase, as some translate it) from Heaven to Earth.
John 1 explains that the ladder symbolizes Jesus Christ. Jacob was unaware of God being near him. Many of us in our journey of life are unaware of how close the Lord is to us to save us from all of our messes and manipulations. He opens Heaven for us and brings Heaven's blessings to our lives. He alone can take us to Heaven. Jacob thought he was in a lonely wilderness and discovered that he had been at the very gate of Heaven! Jacob, who still has some scheming, offers God a tithe of everything he has if He will be with him on his journey ahead and bring him into the fullness of his destiny! We can "see our way into a new dimension of wealth."
We have been Given the Power to Get Wealth and Riches!
Wealth is an abundance of possessions or resources. During the times of the patriarchs, wealth was measured largely in livestock—sheep, goats, cattle, donkeys and camels. This was true of Abraham (see Genesis 13:2), Isaac (see Genesis 26:12-14) and Jacob (see Genesis 30:43; 32:5). People of the ancient world also measured wealth in terms of land, houses, servants, slaves and precious metals. The prime example was King Solomon, whose great wealth is described in 1 Kings 10:14-29. That power to get wealth is key to our covenant advancement (Deuteronomy 8).
Never forget—wealth comes from God! The prophet Amos thundered against the rich and prosperous inhabitants of Israel, who sold "the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals" (Amos 2:6). Their wealth was corrupt and under a curse because it was founded on exploitation of the poor. Wealth and money are two different things. Many times we look at how much money we have, and that determines our faith level. When we SEE the balance in our bank account we experience anxiety or our faith rises up. Money can be a great tool for bartering and advancing or the love for money can be the root of all evil.
By contrast, "riches" means receiving the grace of the Holy Spirit to enable us to accomplish what we are called to accomplish. A person's gift is linked into the concept of wealth. Riches are linked with accumulation, or what we have amassed. A stewardship plan is devised from our riches. The more we steward our riches properly, the more we will receive. This is not just a money issue! God is looking for people who will shift in their stewardship so that He can release a transfer of wealth.
Look up! See your provision in a new way. See your wealth in a new way. See your money supply in a new way. See how to take what you have and multiply! See your increase in assignment!
Read Genesis 13, Genesis 28, and Deuteronomy 8. Meditate on Luke 19.
Day 5: See Past Greed, Unbelief, and Fear
I am enjoying these devotions. Many are gaining revelation on how to see poverty working in their lives. Keith Pierce, my beloved brother, and a wonderful prophet just sent me this: "I saw a plate of cookies set before a group of children, POVERTY said, 'Grab at least three and hurry back and take the last one for soon they will be all gone.' PROVISION said: 'It does not matter, you can have the last one and not worry, because Mom will cook more because she loves you and wants you to be satisfied.' Know that GOD is like the Mom, there is always an ample supply to be cooked. The ingredients for our provisions in the future never run out. The Lord has many ways to create abundance. Plenty is there for the asking. HE will supply. Fear makes us grab! Greed makes us horde!"
Sheryl Price, a key apostolic leader in the Body of Christ, sent me the following: "In 2 Kings 6, we find Elisha and his servant surrounded by Syrian military forces. This assault was ordered against them because the prophet had been given supernatural knowledge of the King of Syria's military plans. Elisha seemed to be oblivious to the impending attack, yet his servant was quite worried. All he could see, in every direction he looked, were soldiers, and they were coming after him! Fear and unbelief gripped his heart and anxiety grew with each passing moment.
In this season of Ayin, the Lord desires to open our eyes to see what He sees, not what we are looking directly upon! From the very beginning of time, His plan was for us to see through our spiritual eyes which are imbedded with a lens of faith. God did this so that our physical vision would be directed by Heaven's view rather than our own shortsightedness and unbelief! He created Adam and Eve with this capability as they looked upon and beheld the Lord daily in their communion with Him.
Adam was able to look at multitudes of animals and name them. If he saw that task through his natural eyes only, he would have fainted at the magnitude of his assignment. When the serpent deceived Eve, and both she and Adam sinned, the eyes of our lower nature opened. At that moment we lost our ability to see from Heaven's viewpoint. But God! Sanctified by the blood and washed by its forgiving power, the way has been made for us to regain our true vision. LOOK AGAIN!
Elisha was able to face his serious situation with great faith because he saw something his servant did not see. Empowered by Heaven's view, he went about his day in full assurance that God was on his side, and nothing the enemy could do would harm him. He had nothing to fear. After all, he could SEE that there were more on his side than the tiny Syrian army surrounding him. Elisha perceived his servant's fear and unbelief and cried out to God asking that this man's spiritual eyes would be opened. God answered, and the servant could see! Heaven's view instantly empowered him with faith! The Scripture tells us that the entire mountain was full of chariots and angels of fire sent to protect God's servants."
Does it seem like God has forgotten you and the serious predicament you are in at the moment? Do you feel so surrounded by the enemy that you think there is no way out? God says, LOOK AGAIN! He is opening your spiritual eyes today to see what He sees. He is positioning you on the Heavenly vantage point. He is empowering you with great faith to win every battle before you, without fear. Lord, open our eyes that we may SEE! Don't grab for your future, the provision is there for you to see.
Read: 2 Kings 6. Memorize: Genesis 3:7. Meditate on: 1 Chronicles 21:16, Luke 24:31.
Day 6: Sabbath is a Window Cleaner that Helps Vision!
We have been declaring that poverty would no longer rule or blind us. Our conscience is the key to seeing! When Jesus is defining the conscience, He admonishes us that the antagonist of our seeing is MAMMON. Matthew 6:19-24 says, Do not gather, heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in). (AMP)
There seems to be a key relationship between how we see, our heart's desire, and whom we serve. Bob Dylan's song, "You Gotta Serve Somebody" is so true. God made us to serve Him and to set aside one day a week to rest and meditate on all that He is about in our lives. This is key to our seeing. For in six days the LORD made the Heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Exodus 20:11, NIV)
By remembering the Sabbath we will see clearly? From the Mount, God told Israel to remember the Sabbath and sanctify that day. This meant to stop doing any creative work and break out of the cycle from the preceding week. God made all creation in six days and rested on the seventh. To be a true Son or Daughter, we are commanded to rest on the Sabbath. I was recently in Las Vegas, and I asked the Lord, "What is the real problem here?" I heard Him say, "Sabbath is not part of this culture!" Until Heaven and earth pass away, we must recognize Sabbath (Matthew 5:17-19). When we do, we acknowledge Him as Lord over creation and time. This is part of seeking Him first and seeing. There are blessings, vision, and rewards for those who seek Him first!
Isaiah 58:13-14 says, 'If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.' The mouth of the LORD has spoken. (NIV)
Be intimate with Him today and seek Him. Break out of your old cycle of the week. See Him in a new way. Ask Him to cleanse your conscience from any infiltration of the world that invaded you the preceding week, and prepare yourself to see in the week ahead!
The conscience is a window between our soul and spirit. This window is easily dirtied. Sabbath is a major part of cleansing the window. You can gain more insight on this by reading The Rewards of Simplicity. Pam Pierce explains Shabbat in detail. Robert Heidler also has a wonderful book, The Messianic Church Arising, which will help you understand this principle.
Read Isaiah 58. Meditate on and memorize Matthew 6:22-24.
Day 7: Recover What Seems to Be Lost that You Have Borrowed
The cares of this world are blinding. The debt structure of so many is overwhelming and preventing them from building and seeing clearly into the future. We are given liberty to borrow, but we must remember that whatever we borrow, we must take care of until the owner receives his/her return. Linda Heidler recently wrote me about a passage of Scripture in 2 Kings 6. This is better known as "The Floating Ax Head" or "Recover What Seems to Be Lost that You Have Borrowed." Linda writes:
"I saw something in the passage about the axe head being borrowed. The man who borrowed it was a good man. However, once we borrow something, we are obligated to give it back. In the man's serving, that which he was using was lost. Not only is this a hard thing, but what he was using was loaned to him. Since it was lost, he owed a debt that he could not repay. This is a key passage about getting out of debt. The young prophet had to seek wisdom from the seasoned prophet to recover his loss!
2 Chronicles 20:20 encourages us to 'heed the word of the prophet and we will succeed.' If you will seek prophetic counsel and follow it, you will see God intervene to get you out of debt! This is what happened to us when we were so far in debt, and you told us to sell our house and pay off our debt. That was in 1997. It took almost a year, from February until November of 1997 to get the house in good enough shape to sell. During that time, the property values in our neighborhood increased dramatically and the interest rates for home loans dropped dramatically. We sold our house, paid our debts and came out with enough to build our present house which is almost twice the size and three times the value of our old house.
Debt can be blinding. When we borrow, we must remember that we are obligated to pay. Many feel trapped in the midst of debt and come into a place of just wanting someone to remove this burden or to pay-off what they have borrowed. To do this violates a principle of asking for, receiving, and following prophetic direction. Each one of us has something we can use. There is a resource that you have to pay your debt. Do not fear letting go of what you have. Do not fear of being left without any resources.
We had considered selling our house to pay our debt before we went to you, but were afraid of being left with nothing. We had to trust God that if we followed the counsel you gave us that He would not leave us in need, but would provide what we needed. We never imagined that He would provide so much, so far above even what we could have imagined. What happened with the axe head was a miracle, but when I think of what happened with us, it is no less a miracle. It takes faith to heed the word of the prophet for getting out of debt, but you will prosper if you do."
Let's ask the Lord to remove the debt that has blinded us. Thank Him that He redeemed you from debt so He can show you how to be delivered today from any debt that surrounds you. Even if you have lost what you borrowed, you can recover! You can SEE your way past your debt.
Read 2 Kings 6. Memorize 2 Chronicles 20:20. Meditate on John 3.
