神的子民的經濟擴張和恩寵
我聽到主說："在混亂、全球不景氣甚至饑荒中，我的人民將有經濟擴張。我正在給天上的下載和策略思想，以讓我的人民昌盛。他們必須分辨出我呈現給他們的機會。不要錯過這個時刻。在這個時刻，創新和創造力將被激發並流經他們。我的教會將得到恩惠，世界將注意到。
抓住神賜予你的機會！
"你的耳朵必須聽從聖靈的頻率，因為祂將帶領和指導你進入正確的時刻，抓住神賜予的機會。不要害怕踏入它！拒絕並捆綁恐懼的靈。它的控制力會把你鎖在外面，但對我話語的信心是打開我為你準備的大門的鑰匙。"
我尋求主來進一步揭示祂對祂將給予祂的子民的機會的意思。我搜索了"機會"這個詞的定義，發現它的意思是：
1. "適當或有利的時間或場合"
2. "有利於實現目標的情況或條件"
3. "一個好的位置、機會或前景，如晉升或成功"
成為變革的推動者
我聽到主告訴我翻開《創世記》第26章，在那裡我讀到了以撒時期迦南的饑荒。因為饑荒，以撒受到誘惑要去埃及，但神阻止了他，並給他具體的指示，不要去埃及，而要留在基拉。神有一個計畫來確認祂的約，並在那裡使他興旺。
"你寄居在這地，我必與你同在，賜福給你，因為我要將這些地都賜給你和你的後裔。我必堅定我向你父亞伯拉罕所起的誓。我要加增你的後裔，像天上的星那樣多，又要將這些地都賜給你的後裔。並且地上萬國必因你的後裔得福" （創26:3-4）
神正在給你一個機會，讓你成為變革的推動者。雖然目前的一些情況看起來很糟糕，而且似乎饑荒已經在這片土地上的許多地區出現，但我們的供應並不是透過人類的經濟來實現的。我們是按照神的國度經濟來生活的。祂將使你的種子多起來，就像祂為以撒所做的那樣，你將在饑荒的時候昌盛起來。
創造性的概念和詼諧的發明
"以撒在那地耕種，那一年有百倍的收成。耶和華賜福給他，" （創26:12）
請注意，以撒在饑荒之地播種。他的順服使他的種子獲得了超自然的加速，他在同一年獲得了一百倍的回報。
許多人認為，神給了以撒一個灌溉系統的想法，從井裡引水來澆灌莊稼，使它們生長和繁殖。
我聽到主的靈說："我將賜下創造性的概念和機智的發明，使我的人民繁榮昌盛。"
"我─智慧以靈明為居所，又尋得知識和謀略。"（箴言8:12）
順服將獲得機會
不是以撒的技巧，而是他的順服引起了主的祝福。以撒聽從了神的話，抓住了時機！以撒把自己的機會交給了神。以撒對自己的機會提出了要求！ 世界注意到了神對他的祝福，"......非利士人就嫉妒他"（創26:14）。
就像神對以撒所做的，祂正準備為你做同樣的事。
神正將它轉回給敵人
當前的事件使許多人落入了擔憂和恐懼的陷阱。對於股市、通貨膨脹和食品短缺，人們確實感到擔憂；但你要看神將如何把經濟危機轉回給敵人。
分辨什麼是善，什麼是神
神的子民將獲得新機會，在他們的生活中釋放出增長。不過，這些機會需要分辨。你必須分辨什麼是好的，什麼是神的。以撒本可以去有供應的埃及，但神告訴他不行。
我聽到主說："在這個時候，要小心你所聽的聲音和報告。要花時間尋求我，聽我的聲音。這將調整你的耳朵聽，你將尋見我。"
神對你的應許是這樣的："你們尋求我，若專心尋求我，就必尋見。"（耶29:13）
祂的聲音將引領你走向勝利！
在大衛成為以色列的國王後，非利士人聚集起來反對大衛（撒下5:17）。大衛王沒有憑自己的智慧急於與他們開戰，因為大衛有秘密武器，那就是祈禱和詢問主的方向。
"大衛求問耶和華說：我可以上去攻打非利士人嗎？你將他們交在我手裡嗎？耶和華說：你可以上去，我必將非利士人交在你手裡。"（撒下5:19）
大衛在那一天打敗了非利士人，並說："......耶和華在我面前沖破敵人，如同水沖去一般。因此稱那地方為巴力毘拉心。"（撒下5:20）。我向你宣告，你正在進入你的突破之地！準備好獲得新策略。準備好獲得新策略。以前有效的事物現在不會再有效了。
值得注意的是，非利士人重新集結，再次衝上來，大衛再次詢問耶和華。這一次，神指示祂不要上去，而是到他們後面去，等待聲音。
"聽見桑樹梢上有腳步的聲音，就要急速前去，因為那時耶和華已經在你前頭去攻打非利士人的軍隊。" （撒下5:24）
以前對非利士人的工作不是神對這場爭戰的計畫。
你必須不斷尋求主，你可以期待祂的聲音帶領你進入勝利。在這個充滿機會的季節，拒絕盯著不確定的事物；相反地，允許主向你展示你的巨大機會！
Discern Your New Opportunities!

Economic Expansion and Favor for the People of God
I heard the Lord say, "In the midst of chaos, global downturn and even famine, My people will have economic expansion. I am giving heavenly downloads and strategic ideas to prosper My people. They must discern the opportunities that I am presenting to them. Don't miss this moment. Innovation and creativity will be stirred and flow through them for this hour. There will be favor upon My Church, and the world will take notice.
Seize Your God-Given Opportunity!
"It is necessary for your ear to be tuned to the frequency of the Holy Spirit, for He will lead and guide you into the right moment to seize your God-given opportunity. Do not be afraid to step into it! Reject and bind the spirit of fear. Its grip will keep you locked out, but faith in My Word is the key that opens the doors I have prepared for you."
I sought the Lord to further reveal what He meant about the OPPORTUNITIES He would be giving to His people. I searched the definition of the word "opportunity" and found that it means:
1. "an appropriate or favorable time or occasion"
2. "a situation or condition favorable for attainment of a goal"
3. "a good position, chance, or prospect, as for advancement or success"
Be an Agent of Change
I heard the Lord tell me to turn to Genesis 26, where I read about a famine in Canaan during the time of Isaac. Because of the famine, Isaac was tempted to go to Egypt, but God stopped him and gave him specific instructions not to go to Egypt but to stay in Gerar. God had a plan to confirm His covenant and prosper him there.
"Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of Heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." (Gen. 26:3-4)
God is giving you an opportunity to be an agent of change. While some current circumstances look dire, and it seems as if famine has taken hold in many areas of this land, our provision does not come through man's economy. We live according to God's Kingdom economy. He will cause your seed to multiply just as He did for Isaac, and you will prosper in the time of famine. (Photo via Pexels)
Creative Concepts and Witty Inventions
"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him." (Gen. 26:12)
Notice that Isaac sowed in the land of famine. His obedience caused a supernatural acceleration to hit his seed, and he received a hundredfold return in the same year.
Many believe that God gave Isaac an idea for an irrigation system that would bring water from wells to water his crops and cause them to grow and multiply.
I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "I will give creative concepts and witty inventions that will cause My people to prosper."
"I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions." (Pro. 8:12)
Obedience Will Claim the Opportunity
It wasn't Isaac's skill, but his obedience that caused the blessing of the Lord. He acted on God's word and seized the moment! He laid claim to his OPPORTUNITY! And the world took notice of God's blessing upon him, "...and the Philistines envied him" (Gen. 26:14).
Just as God did for Isaac, He is preparing to do the same for you.
God Is Turning It Back on the Enemy
Current events have caused many to fall into the trap of worry and fear. There are real concerns regarding the stock market, inflation and food shortages; but you watch and see how God will turn the economic crisis on the enemy.
Discerning Between What Is Good and What Is God
God's people will be presented with new opportunities that will release increase in their lives. These opportunities, though, are going to require discernment. You must discern between what is just good and what is God. Isaac could have gone to Egypt where there was provision, but God told him no.
I heard the Lord say, "Be careful of what voice and reports you listen to in this hour. Spend time seeking after Me and listening for My voice. This will tune your ears to hear, and you will find Me."
God's promise to you is this: "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart" (Jer. 29:13).
His Voice Will Lead You to Victory!
After David became king over Israel, the Philistines gathered against David (2 Sam. 5:17). King David did not rush to war against them by his own wisdom, for David had the secret weapon of prayer and inquiring of the Lord for His direction. (Photo via Pixnio)
"And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand." (2 Sam. 5:19)
David defeated the Philistines that day and said, "...The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore, he called the name of that place Baalperazim" (2 Sam. 5:20). I declare to you that you are coming into your place of breakthrough! Be ready to get new strategies. What worked before will not work now.
Remarkably, the Philistines regrouped and came up AGAIN, and once again David inquired of the Lord. This time, God instructed him not to go up but to go behind them and wait for the sound.
"And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines." (2 Sam. 5:24)
What worked before with the Philistines was not God's plan for this battle.
You must keep seeking the Lord, and you can expect His voice to lead you into victory. In this season of opportunity, refuse to stare at the uncertainty; instead, allow the Lord to show you your vast opportunity!
