"While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest..." Genesis 8:22. God has a Plan. Sowing and reaping is constant, going on at all times. Even unbelievers will tap into this prosperity. God enhances vision, effort (measure of faith) and wisdom. Human Effort plus Resources plus Holy Spirit Anointing equals Miracles!
Dough enhancer is added to bread dough, a certain measure for every measure of flour. Gluten is softened so bread rises higher and bakes up softer and lighter. Smart chefs use it. Spiritually, it is humility: acting according to God's Plan which brings HIS man or woman a crown anointed with glory and honor! Psalm 8
Jesus' first miracle (John 2) demonstrates the principle. He attended a wedding where they ran out of wine. The groom and his young bride were about to be shamed. Jesus' mother called Him for a solution. He wasn't ready yet, but His mother was emphatic! She directed the servants, "Whatever He says to do, DO it!!" So, the slaves filled six waterpots with about 120 gallons of water, then dipped it out for the Master of the feast. He was quite impressed because the best wine was saved for last. Unusual and remarkable! However, the servants knew God, Himself, had visited the celebration and 'saved face' for all of the in-laws.
Frank and I founded The Joy Mission, April 1993. January 1994, the Lord told me to keep saying, "My hands are filled with $1,000 bills to be used for the glory of the Lord," according to Mark 11:23-25. Each week we spoke this word over tithes and offerings. We dreamed, believed and worked to bring the Lord Glory. His storehouse filled up and ours did, too! Then, we 'raised the anti'. We seeded finances into God-inspired projects, taught the Word and aided the poor.
"Give and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be put in your bosom (lap) for the same measure (of faith) that you use, it will be measured back to you." Luke 6;38.
INCREASE is inevitable!
The Joy Mission mandate is 3-fold: "Get the Word out!" "Love as I have loved you!" "Prosper your community!" Father God added His measure of wisdom, vison and opportunity! Philippians 4:19 "My God will supply your every need according to HIS riches in Glory." Psalm 138:8: "He perfects all that concerns me!" Miracles of healing and Debt freedom visit our flock, regularly!
Anointing manifests in witty, world-changing inventions! We authored and published "A Joyous Report" for 19½ years, reaching thousands in prison and every state in the Union. We volunteered at the Colorado Welcome Center over 2,000 hours, and at the Museum and Chamber.
Well into year 31, the Lord's grace and mercy anoints the work He has taught us to do. He sends us anointed helpers, pray-ers and generous resources, but mostly He gives us strength to do what He says to do. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and very courageous (resolute)! Do not be afraid or dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
