Malachi 3:10-11 CEV; I am the Lord All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in my house. Then I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing.  I will also stop locusts from destroying your crops and keeping your vineyards from producing.

This is not just a promise of provision, but a promise of keeping. Just like the children of Israel, they didn’t have to replace their clothing or shoes during their 40 year journey, neither will we have to replace our hot water heater, roof, light bulbs, etc. He promises that if you bring the tithes (10% of your gross income), you don’t have to rebuke the devil from your stuff, HE will do that for you. This is what happens when you place your trust in God, not money. Money can’t take care of me but God can.

I’m so excited in my spirit right now. You know, the kind of excitement that comes with expectation. Where my heart beats a little faster and it takes my breath away. Something is about to happen that is gonna be the grand daddy of all happenings. Like there is a knocking on the door and the person on the other end holds the biggest check I’ve ever seen and I pass out because I didn’t realize I’d been holding my breath. Yeah, that kind. Like Father God is about to reveal himself to me in a way I’ve never known him before. I’m seeing Abraham as he’s about to draw the knife over Isaac in obedience (that’s big obedience right there) and the angel of the Lord stays his hand and says, check out the ram in the thicket, thats when Abraham saw God as Jirah, Provider. Check this out, God had already blessed him in everything, but this was different, he provided out of his obedience. OMG!

There are some of us who know Gods blessing, but we’re about to know him as Provider out of our obedience. There is nobody like our God.  I’m speaking something out of my spirit this morning and let those who have an ear to hear, hear it! Let God be God and every man a liar. For two weeks now I’ve heard the Lord say to me, “Get ready! Prepare yourself to receive. Just like a run-away train cannot be stopped, neither can my blessing. Once the floodgates are open, you cannot hold it back. My blessing is coming whether you’re ready or not because I cannot lie, I must do what I’ve purposed to do.” 

Father, cleanse me from all unrighteousness, every wrong thought, every corrupt motive. Just as a bride prepares herself with great detail on her wedding day, so I prepare myself to receive your love. Wash me and anoint me with oil, perfume me with spices that I may come into your presence and give you much pleasure. You’re the one I long for. Nothing else satisfies me as you do. I long for your touch on my life, your sweet tender kisses upon my up-turned face. You are my provider, the one who blesses me beyond measure and I will wait patiently on you.
