Partnership is the heartbeat of Christ-centered ministry in the Earth.  It is the plan the Lord set in motion, allowing us to take the uncompromised Word of God to the world—TOGETHER!!  Through partnership, we stand as one, praying for each other daily, believing God’s best for each other and supporting one another to accomplish God’s work.  In these days especially, it is important that we partner with anointed, praying people because as we are about to see, our individual anointing and prayers of faith flowing together in one direction are more powerful than any one of us could ever be.

IT’S OUR TIME!!!

⁹So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. ¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: ¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ²⁹And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:9, 13-14, 29)

This year is the greatest year of divine release of supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit we have ever known:

• Every realm—Spirit, Soul and Natural—is affected.
• More souls will be born into the Kingdom this year than any year before.
• Wayward children are coming home.
• Breached relationships are being mended.
• Marriages are being healed.
• Churches that preach the Word of Faith and Love are exploding in ministry and size.
• The body of Christ is coming together in the unity of faith as never before.
• We always have all sufficiency in all things.
• We are the carriers of the Blessing!
• IT’S OUR TIME!

Our words are so important that God keeps track of them.  Careless words spoken today will have a negative effect tomorrow.  Our lives today are the sum total of the words that we have been speaking.  This should give us a note of caution as we engage in conversations that are negative like gossip, slander, backbiting, etc.

If we want the creative power of Words to make a difference in our lives, it will mean that our heart are established in faith!  One of the underlying truths of the Maximized Life is what is going on in our hearts!  Our hearts must be full of faith.  And we already learned how faith comes: through hearing!

Under pressure, what is in our hearts will come out!  Have you ever been around someone and they stubbed their toe or slammed their finger in a door?  After this experience, they let out an expletive or something else negative.  What is in the heart will come out under painful or pressured situations.  For instance, when you get bad financial news which suggests that your finances will not turn around, do you exclaim: “I’ll always be broke?”  Or, do you say, “My God shall supply all my needs!”

Only when we can declare God’s Word is the force of faith released to change our situation.  Today, we must resolve to fill our hearts with the Word of God to the degree that we are saturated with it.  And, when situations and circumstances arise, we will release faith and not fear into our situations!

Your Words have more power than you give yourself credit for!  Use this power to make a difference in your life!

Our words are spiritual containers that have enormous impact.  Because we were created in God’s image, we have the same ability to release power by the words of our mouths–especially when we repeat God’s Words!  Natural environments must change in response to God’s Word.

Words are powerful.  In Genesis the world was created by Words.  And faith-filled words will have the same effect to create in our lives.  Our words first work in the realm that we cannot see and then they will cause things to change in the realm that we can see.  If we speak words of faith, we will see positive results.  However, if we speak words of doubt and fear, we will manifest negative results in our lives.

When we say that we can’t, we won’t!  If we say “It’s too hard”, it will be!  No matter how our situation looks, we cannot stop speaking God’s Word.  If we start speaking what we see, we will miss the supernatural results that faith-filled Words can produce.  Our words really matter!

Start confessing God’s Word over your life and see the positive results!

Offerings are what we give over and above our tithe as an act of our love and appreciation to God.  And, when we do this, God makes promises as it relates to our harvest on the seed that we have sown.  Whenever God gets involved, it’s supernatural.

When we give (sow) our offerings, we position ourselves to reap a harvest based on what we expect to receive.  This of it this way: every seed that is planted in the natural is preprogrammed genetically to produce a specific harvest.  So, apple seeds produce apple trees.  Mustard seeds produce mustard plants.  The same is true spiritually when we give to the kingdom of God.

We can attach a specific harvest to our seed to meet a current or future need or a desire we have.  At the point of giving (sowing), we can designate it for one of these things!  For dedicated farmers, a seed that they plant will always meet their need.  If they know they need wheat, they will plant wheat.  If they need corn, they will plant corn, etc.

A seed will meet your need as well!  Once you have sown the seed, you stand on what you will receive.  You now need to stand in faith for the harvest on that seed.  We have already learned the faith process but now that you have seed in the ground concerning those things, you continue to thank God for the manifestation and keep your confession in line with what you are believing.  God is able to take your seed and produce a lasting harvest to meet every need in your life.

A Seed will meet your need!

Beyond what we have heard in church or from naysayers (usually people who are trying to justify their own disobedience), we should see what the Bible says about this important principle.  Tithing is easily defined: it is 10% of one’s increase which is dedicated to advance the place where we are taught the Word.  It provides the support necessary to advance God’s work in the earth.

Tithing connects us with a spiritual force that produces God’s favor and blessings in our lives.  Why?  Because tithing is an act of honoring God!  When we receive financial increase, from whom does it come?  If we believe it is from God, then is God asking too much for us to give 10% of it to support His work?  If we think that we are the producers of the blessings in our lives, then it makes sense that we would not want to give to God a portion of what we produced for ourselves.

But, the Maximizer understands that “But me—who am I, and who are these my people, that we should presume to be giving something to you? Everything comes from you; all we’re doing is giving back what we’ve been given from your generous hand.“ 1 Chronicles 29:15 (MSG)

Tithing is an investment in God’s work that pays off in favor and blessings in our lives.  God will give to tithers an abundance of opportunities which if maximized, will produce economic abundance in our lives. Tithing is not swapping money with God: “I give Him $100 and He gives me $1000.”   This is part of the misconception of tithing.  Tithing opens up windows of blessings on our lives so that we walk in abundance.

When we honor God with the tithe, God showers blessings on us!

What is the trigger to the quality of life–the Maximized Life?

The answer: Living Generously!  One of the foundational spiritual laws that the Bible teaches is the Law of Identical Harvest (Sowing and Reaping).  We have often heard this said as a cliché but it is a Law.  Whatever we send out, it will come back to us!

When we live generously, we position ourselves to always be on the receiving end of what we have given.  So, if we want to receive more, it will require that we give more in every area of life.  When we spend our lives being takers, we violate the law of sowing and reaping!  And, that is why quality of life has not been achieved by so many.  If we want to receive something for nothing, we will be sorely disappointed in the Bible and the God of the Bible because He always links our actions with His response.
