In a dream, I was forced into a small, dark room by a group of strong men.

They were all taller and bigger than me, and they were dressed like authoritative figures.

They stood between me and the door, forcefully accusing me of things and trying to make me fear the dire consequences to come.

In the midst of extreme intimidation, I thought, "They don't have authority over me. I should just walk out the door."

But I wasn't sure enough to take action. I wondered if they would maul me on the way to the door.

This is the state of many believers. In Christ, they have the authority to walk out the door untouched.

But since they don't know, they remain in the interrogation room, being worn out by the enemy.

If that's you, it's time to leave the interrogation room. Jesus Christ has given you authority over all the enemy's power.

Take authority over your thoughts. No more of what tears you down. Don't allow it any longer.

It's birthing season for the people of God.

Those who have been carrying prophecies and visions from the Lord are coming to full term.

No one else has understood as these things were formed in utter seclusion. But soon, all will see the miracle of God.

Don't get distracted by the enemy acting as if he can stop it. No one can stop it. It is at full term and must be born.

Soon, you will enjoy the fruit of your labor of faith. Hold fast. Only believe.

Birthing spiritual things requires intimacy with God.

To fulfill His plan for your life, intimacy is required.

To receive His promises and protection, intimacy is required.

Just like intimacy is required between husband and wife to bear children, intimacy is required between Jesus and His church to bear much fruit.

You can't just know about Jesus. You have to know Him intimately.

Just like in a godly marriage, you give everything, and so does He. Nothing is reserved or hidden. The two become one.

If you only visit Jesus on Sunday... If you relate to Him as a casual friend... If you perceive Him as far off... that's why you are struggling.

Intimacy is a choice. He's already given you everything. Now, it's just up to you.

In Mark 10, Jesus was not saying, “I hate rich people.”

Jesus was saying, “Hey, rich person, I have a proposal for you. Give Me all you have, and you will end up with multiplied prosperity without sorrow.”

It doesn't make sense to give up everything you've worked for. But God knows best.

The reason God makes you give everything before you receive the hundredfold return is because it breaks the power of mammon over your life.

And this is necessary. Because if you don't, mammon will suck the life right out of you.

If you want God's kind of prosperity, give Him everything you have, trusting that He will multiply it.

Just like a seed in the ground, you don't see it for a while. But the harvest must come.

If you don't get this right, you will fail to build what God wants you to build.

Jesus has one project on the earth: building His church. As many as will submit to Him, He will hire for the job.

We are His contractors in building the church.

Here's what you need to remember: Contractors don't pay for the building.

The owner doesn't ask the contractor to foot the bill. Rather, the owner pays for everything, including paying the contractor to build.

Most Christians and church leaders see themselves as the owner. They don't build to the extent God wants them to because they think they're responsible for the cost.

Our job is to build, not to pay for it. When a bill comes due, we simply submit it to the Owner, whose bank account is always full.

Being a good steward is not about how well you save money. It is not how frugal you are.

In the parable of the good steward, who is rewarded for good stewardship?

Was it the one who saved? No. Was it the one who was frugal? No.

The good stewards were the ones who multiplied.

It takes faith to multiply. You have to put what you have in the ground as seed. It disappears for a while, but when you see it again, it will be multiplied.

This is the law of sowing and reaping. Whether starting a business, investing, or giving into the work of God, you are sowing financial seed.

And you should think of it this way: “I’m not going to see this for a while. But when it comes back to me, it is going to be multiplied.”

You should expect it. Because Jesus said that whatever you give up for Him in this life will come back to you one hundredfold.

If you don’t have an expectation for a multiplied return on your giving, it simply means you don't believe what Jesus said.

It's not holy. It's not humble. It is simply unbelief.

Get rid of all unbelief today and declare in accordance with God's Word, "Every seed I’ve ever sown into the Kingdom of God will come back to me one hundredfold."
