Spiritual maturity is a wonderful thing. When you achieve it, you can ask what you will and have it done for you. "He said the wealth of the wicked gets stored up for the righteous. Is that you? Are you righteous? Is God's way of doing and being right your heart's desire?" LISTEN: Someone who's perishing - at least in some areas because they're works minded not faith minded - for lack of knowledge tried to tell me there's nothing I can do or have to do to receive from God because He loves me and that is not Biblical. All throughout the Bible God says, "Be like Me! Be like Me! Serve like Me! Honor Me! Trust Me! Love Me! Talk to Me! Ask Me!" Those are all verbs, verbos, action words. According to this logic, if I didn't have to do anything or there was nothing I could do my behavior wouldn't matter and nothing would be classified as sin. I wouldn't even have to believe in God and I could still live a life full of miracles, signs, wonders, healings and supernatural provisions simply because He loves me. Not to mention Yeshua wouldn't have had to die if being in relationship with God wasn't required for me to go to heaven. Matter of fact, satan wouldn't have even been cast out of heaven; he'd still be there because of God's love. Call me a liar if you want, but that hasn't been my experience. I've ALWAYS believed in God's love and yet I lived a mediocre existence for more than 30 years. I believe, and I could be wrong, what she meant was ... I don't know. I can't for the life of me figure out where in the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory she got that from. If you see or understand something in that bit of logic, please enlighten me in the comments below. But it sounds pretty foolish to me. In Revelation is for Elevation I challenge people who don't believe they have to participate to receive from God to not go to work for two weeks straight and instead sit on the couch watching tv (if you can afford to pay for it) with your feet up and then count all the money that falls into your lap from heaven while you're not producing. If God loves you and because of love there's nothing you could or have to do, it's not a risk to take me up on this challenge. We wouldn't even have to pray' y'all. And that's what I do. That's my life. What would I do with myself if I didn't pray? Half my day would be empty. This is the post that made 'em all preachy on me. Read the excerpt from It Is Written below and share your insight. Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed  Began with worship in spirit and truth which birthed a prophetic decree through song. "I'm coming up, Lord ... to see You face-to-face." Then I was in the throne room twirling before the Lord and I saw someone twirling and creating a whirlwind/tornado (white) around them. In dream interpretation white tornados/storms are from The Lord. And I heard, "When the storms of life come, call out to Me." Then I asked a question and received and answer of instructions. **I'm truly enjoying this summer season of covenant prayer and I hope you are, too. Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed  Please receive this testimony of Jesus at work for me as encouragement for what He'll do in your life. One thing I forgot to share in this vid is what Holy Spirit spoke to me before I began worshiping. I was supposedly interceding for someone who needed provision but what I was doing was accusing and blaming Dad. I was asking, "Why aren't You providing and delivering them? How come You let this happen when You're the God of Provision?" Holy Spirit told me very graciously to stop right there. He asked me if I'd ever known Dad not to release provision when it was requested and I had to say no. God always, always gives what we ask for it, but there are other things that stop, block or hinder our provision somewhere between heaven and our hands. If you need more information on this read Open Heaven, My Money Grows on Trees and Revelation is for Elevation.
Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed God is no respector of persons, so when a testimony or prophetic word is released you can claim it for yourself. Join me as I celebrate Jesus' power at work and share a recent testimony in the comments. Wonderful date! Six is the number of man and 15/15 is triple grace, triple grace. God rejects the proud but gives grace to the humble. I said that three times today before I noticed the date. We need triple grace, triple grace as men (humans) that's for sure, and I'm glad to have it. Today during my time of communion the Ruach haKodesh spoke: "Victory. I AM mounting up my forces to stand against the enemy. They will turn back." I'm in a season of warfare because I've made the decision to take by force what has been promised to me. You may not be in a season of war ... I take that back ... we're all in a season of war. You just may not realize it. Life is full of successive wars to receive the fullness of our Promised Lands. But, many of us get comfortable with some victory as opposed to complete victory and stop pressing forward. That's not me at all. I ended one season of warfare last quarter and was promoted, and now I'm right back at it because I want my next promotion. Anyhoo, I was gonna write you may not be in a season of warfare so this word didn't apply to you, but if you're doing anything for the Kingdom of God, you are in war because the enemy doesn't stand by and let you advance His will without confrontation. Remember that Christianese saying that if the enemy's not bothering you it's 'cause you're not making any moves in the spiritual realm. Well, I am making moves but I'm a prayer warrior and I know how to go stealth. Learn more in PWPP Vol. 19 Tongues releasing for Kindle 6/16/2015. Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed      At the beginning of this month I dreamed I was putting a baby in a carrier into the car. I like those kinds of dreams. Babies represent new things, new beginnings that have already been birthed. So the planning and preparation for the new thing to get here has already been completed - the prayer, travail and spiritual incubation are done - and this baby is mine. Cars represent the dreamer's ministry and/or career. Mine go hand-in-hand because I read the Bible and God does business and ministry simultaneously so that's what I do. This dream was telling me that a birthing of last season was over and I now have a new aspect of my ministry/career to nurture and develop for God's glory. Do I know what this new thing is? Maybe. I can look over my life and take inventory of something I've just put into practice or started and that could tell me. Or I could do what all dreams are meant to do and that's get in prayer and ask Holy Spirit to reveal to me what needs my care as it grows. It's never wise to make assumptions and just believe it's one thing over another. I've done that before and you end up feeling foolish afterward when it's something else. I've learned from those mistakes of the past so they weren't wasted. What has Holy Spirit been telling you in dreams lately? Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed  I've been talking a lot about a renewed mind lately because that needs to be a key focus in this season. We must learn to think like the Godhead or we will fall into deception, lack, fear and more. As the economy begins to shake - and it is and will shake - you won't miss a beat if your mind is renewed. For example, gas and food prices are on the rise again. This shouldn't surprise anyone. It was an anomaly that gas prices dipped so much in the first place. When they did, though, U.S. car buying skyrocketed for a season. That was an intentional occurrence because most American's don't think past right now which explains the debt of and in this nation. The powers that be knew that Americans would go on car shopping sprees when gas prices were low and now the oil companies, banks, car dealerships, car washes, manufacturers, insurance companies and a whole host of other businesses are back in the black. And know that being in the black for big business means you're making millions of dollars above what you need to be debt-free. If you're interested in creating and gaining wealth you need to learn how the marketplace operates. Wealth is greater than just more money than anyone in your family ever made. Wealth prepares for future generations. Wealth increases over the years. Wealth isn't for small-minded people and it's not for hustlers. Wealth is for people with vision and purpose and vision and purpose are the reasons the wealth of the wicked is being stored up for transfer to the godly in this season. If your life, mind and family aren't wealth minded, you'll never have wealth. God knows from experience that without mind renewal all the wealth in the world is of no use to you. He puts gifts in us that the majority don't even know we have and therefore don't develop. He won't give us wealth when we can't even steward the basics of our authentic selves and utilize everything He's placed in us. If you're interested in wealth at all you have to have noticed by now that people who attain are doing something extraordinary with their skillsets. You may say some people get wealthy being stupid (I'm thinking of some YouTube personalities). Well, that's the skillset they're using to get rich, not wealth. Remember wealth is generational. If you're not leaving or receiving a significant inheritance it's not wealth. Renew your mind to what God says is possible (there's a chapter on this in Revelation is for Elevation). He said the wealth of the wicked gets stored up for the righteous. Is that you? Are you righteous? Is God's way of doing and being right your heart's desire? If it is, wealth is an option for you. BUT that's just a promise to whosoever will. In order to be eligible you have to covenant with Him to receive wealth. How do you do that? Well, everyone's process is different, but you must say, "Ok, Lord, I want that. What do I need to do?" Then as Job 22:28 tells you light will shine on your ways because you've made a declaration. Commit to the process Holy Spirit lays out for you, and then you're positioned for wealth transfer. As is anything with deliverance, this is simple ... but not easy. Deliverance comes into play because it takes proper character to sustain wealth, and until your soul is matured your character can't handle it. Back to a renewed mind. Renewed minds and matured souls go hand in hand. Again, if you can't believe that wealth is a possibility for you you'll never receive it from God. You can make any argument you want about the wicked being wealthy, but their minds were renewed enough to believe it was possible and they rearranged their lives to pursue it. We don't have to chase after wealth; we have to chase after God and receive His power to get it. I have greater coming to me and I'm excited about it. I can see it in the spiritual realm. And what's even betterer (one of my favorites from 1st grade) is that God does exceeding abundantly above what I can imagine. I did what I had to do and still am to be positioned to receive. Back in 2001 and 2008 when the economy hit bumps I wasn't ready, but many others were, and they bought businesses, properties, etc. for pennies on the dollar. Get ready. You don't have to experience loss just because others do. Get into alignment with God and the right people and prosper. Copyright © 2015 Zari Banks, M.Ed |
