The Power Of RestSample

By now, you know that the Sabbath rest is a promise to every New Testament believer in Christ and it is not just an Old Testament thing. You also know that the Sabbath is not possible without having more than enough, or as we saw in Exodus 16, the double portion.

Now, please do not confuse walking in the double portion to mean that you will in every case have a huge cash surplus on hand when God asks you to move on a project.

There have been times in my life when Jesus told me to move forward on a project when I did not have any of the money in the bank. I realized later that God was never nervous about the money and knew where it would come from. But He did not allow it to manifest, lest the enemy try to steal it before it was actually needed.

I like to say it’s hidden FROM you FOR you!

If we want our efforts to succeed, we have to do things in God’s timing. Just because God shows you something does not mean it is time to move on it yet. Many times, He shows you something to give you direction and time for preparation. As you pray and begin to hear from God, learn to pray and discern when it is the time to ACT and when it is the time to PREPARE. 

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” Mark 11:24, (NIV).

The double portion in your life won’t come from your own plans and striving; it will come from God’s perfectly orchestrated strategy! You can trust God with your dreams. God is able to do more than you ask, think, or imagine (Eph 3:20). Trust God and He will direct your steps to a life of more than enough!
