Recently I read a Word from the Apostle of our Church Dr Jerry Savelle and he made mention of a scripture from Isaiah 60:11 “Therefore your gates will always be open; they will not be shut day nor night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings may be led”.

I thought, imagine Gods people actually walking in the place of living in a continual state of open doors where blessings, prosperity and abundance were showing up in your life, ALL THE TIME! That there was an actual FLOW not a drip here and there. 

The Lord reminded me of how to keep the Windows of Heaven open in our lives. The the very Windows that pour out continuous blessings over our lives producing, providence, favour, anointing, revelation of His word, devine contacts, supernatural intervention and so much more.

It’s found in a scripture we all know to well, Malachi 3:10 (KJV) – “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” This is a promise from God and is still for today. God says if we bring the all the Tithes, (Tithe, Offerings and First Fruits) to the place we are fed spiritually, so that the very same spiritual house can continue to provide spiritual food for those God sends, He will not only open a blessing upon you, but there won’t be enough room to receive it. That’s a promise!

I believe we are in a season of supernatural shifting, aligning and releasing of providence for the advancing of the Kingdom in preparation for His coming (when He wills). However If we are faithful to the Lords commands around our finances, remain consistent and faithful by faith, we are guaranteed to receive open heavens with prosperity in every area, being poured out in our lives so that we can live a life of abundance, freedom and debt free in order to live in God’s covenant and best, as well as be a financial distributor for the Kingdom.

Deuteronomy 28:12 (MKJV) – “Jehovah shall open to you His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall loan to many nations, and you shall not borrow.“

Remember no limitations including in the area of finances.

While on our annual church planning retreat, the Lord spoke to me on the beach the morning prior our last day presenting vision to the board. I had been meditating on Dr Savelle’s word for 2019, Marvels, Wonders and Extraordinary things. If felt the Lord saying there is so much more for His people and He was willing to do so much more should we desire it and remove ALL LIMITATIONS.

I felt the Lord remind me of how Jabez must of had revelation and a boldness as well as confidence to know that there was more for His life and knew if He was positioned in relationship with God and faith, he could ask whatever and God would move.

“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would indeed bless me and enlarge my border [property],  and that Your hand would be with me, and You would keep me from evil so that it does not hurt me!” And God granted his request.” – 1 CHRONICLES 4:10 AMP

When I looked up the word Extraordinary from Dr Savelle’s word for 2019 I saw it meant (Very Great, Huge, Enormous) things.

I sensed God was saying if my people will remove all limitations from there lives, seek me and enquire of me, I would do great huge things in 2019, far over and above all they could ask.

“Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,” – EPHESIANS 3:20 AMP

At a prayer meeting one Thursday morning the Lord told me to tell His people, do not go into 2019 based on the results they experienced in 2018. We need to move into 2019 without limitations and restrictions in our thoughts, hearts and words we release and be expectant for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to visit you and your family showing His Presence, Power and Goodness in all areas of your life.

You hold the keys, what you believe and declare shall be so according to your faith! Will you believe Him for extraordinary, very great, huge and enormous things? I believe God wants to enlarge your boundaries and show you far over above all you could ask or think. On behalf of the leadership team of Heritage of Faith, know we are praying and believing for His best for your life to see you become the winner He intended.

I am…

I am your Deliverer,
I am your Healer,
I am your Saviour,
I am your Redeemer,
I am your Anointer,
I am anything you need Me to be!

God will honour His covenant. He always was what HE IS. He will ever be what He was and is. Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change.”

Frequently we need not just to have a fresh attitude to a situation or problem, but we need a completely new mindset on that issue, in fact a paradigm shift must take place!

Look at these situations in history: In 1797 the first cast iron plough invented in the United States was rejected by New Jersey farmers because they believed the cast iron poisoned the land and stimulated the growth of weeds. In Germany it was “proven” by experts that if trains went at the frightful speed of 15mph, blood would spurt out of the travellers’ noses and passengers would suffocate when going through tunnels. Galileo was excommunicated from his church for more than 200 years for saying that the earth revolves around the sun and the moon was round.

Each of us needs to renew our minds to the things of God as we go into 2019, the year of NO LIMITATIONS.

Romans 12:2 “…but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideas and its new attitude]…”

You are the ‘Apple of God’s Eye’. When you accept how special you are to God, all negative thoughts about yourself will disappear.Have you ever felt insecure? Insecure about your abilities, your appearance, your job, your personality, your life?

Have you ever felt unloved, unaccepted and worthless?
‘I’m not attractive.’
‘I can’t do all the things that person can do.’
‘I’m not good enough!’

If you battle with thoughts of worthlessness, inferiority, and low self-esteem, then today is the day to let go of all those negative thoughts and insecurity!

How do you get rid of insecurity that’s been there your whole life? By realising that you are a valuable masterpiece to God. If God had to choose the finest thing He ever created, He’d pick you! Yes you!
In fact in Psalm 17:8 we find that God sees you as the apple of His eye.

Show Your marvellous loving kindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of Your eye. Psalm 17:7-8 NKJV

As you come to accept the truth of how special you are to God, all negative thoughts about yourself will disappear. You will rest secure, knowing that you really are loved and accepted by God exactly as you are.

The God-kind of love is in your heart because Jesus lives in you. It is one of the fruit of the Spirit. The love of God that is shed abroad in your heart will be a guard and protection when satan tries to gain a foothold.

When you walk in love, you are walking in victory. You are also planting seeds for future success in all you do. Let’s look at what God’s Word says about love and meditate on it today.

“Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

It is not conceited it is not rude and does not act unbecomingly.

Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it .

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything.

Love never fails 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 AMP.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
2 Corinthians 2:14

Did you know that victory is always yours – that it actually belongs to you?

The key word in the scripture is always. The knowledge that God always causes us to triumph gets rid of the ‘win a few, lose a few’ philosophy people are so fond of.

I’ve had people say, “But, Brother Jerry, I havn’t always triumphed.”  My answer is always the same: “Well, we know that’s not God’s fault because the Bible says God always leads us in triumph.”

What some fail to realize is this: just because the Word says God always leads us in triumph in Christ, it doesn’t mean we will never be attacked or have adversity. It is what we do during the attack that determines whether we win or lose.

No matter what kind of persecution, adversity, or attack you may be under, according to God’s Word the victory is already yours. You can get discouraged and choose to give up before it comes, but I am totally convinced that God already has a victory planned for you.

You have the potential to experience triumph in every situation – if you won’t give up!

I believe God will turn every adversity into a victory. I believe God has a victory plan for every negative circumstance I face now, or will ever face. I expect victory in every situation because God has promised me that I can always triumph in Christ.

‘I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and in Him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing’. John 15:5

God loves faithfulness but He also desires fruitfulness. What is the definition of fruit in this context?
Fruit is a visible expression of power working through you.

If you are something, then that should be evident to all around you. Our Christianity should be evident in every sphere of our lives. Some people seem to think that their Christianity is private and something separate from their everyday living! But whatever you are should be extended into everything you do…because you are a Christian you act this way…because you are a Christian you say these things…because you are a Christian you believe this… It should all be an extension of what you are. God expects us to produce all that we can in every dimension of our lives, which is often a lot more than we think possible! Never limit God when it comes to fruit bearing.

Be a Fruit-Bearer for Jesus…

Faith is not a mental exercise but a spiritual force. If you live by faith, you will develop a right mental attitude and you will begin to think positive based on God’s Word.

When you become strong on the Word of God, you will say like the song, “I shall not be moved. I’m just like a tree planted by the river.”

That is the voice of a strong-willed person who knows where he stands in God’s Word. He is determined that, if anybody moves, it will just have to be the devil.

This kind of attitude does not come to you overnight. You must feed on God’s Word day and night until you know that you know that you know.

When you base your confession on the authority of God’s Word and are deeply rooted in it, then you can say with confidence, “I will not be moved,” and it will come with joy and assurance. You will KNOW that nothing the devil brings your way will cause you to be shaken! You have become strong-willed in the Word of God.
