perspective and training for the life of the Spirit
There are two ways I see in scripture that blessing boundaries can be increased. 1. God Can Command It “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, ?do not hold back; ?lengthen your cords, ? strengthen your stakes. ?For you will spread out to the right and to the left; ?your descendants will dispossess nations ?and settle in their desolate cities. Isaiah 54:2-3 (New International Version, ©2010) 2. We Can Request It Jabez was more honorable than his [...] Read more »
Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.? Be wise enough to know when to quit.? In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,? for it will sprout wings? and fly away like an eagle. Proverbs 23:4-5 (New Living Translation) How many times have you been approached by a well-meaning Christian friend who needs you for their MLM plan? Amway? Melelluca? How often does someone what you to “join their business”? Listen, I’ve made a similar mistake with friends. One day I [...] Read more »
Blessing Boundaries can be for a season. It was that way for Paul. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. Acts 18:9-11 A blessing boundary season [...] Read more »
Has God called you to work you’re doing? It’s not just pastors who are ordained for a vocation. Are you experiencing His blessing in your work? Don’t think I’m asking you “Is it easy?” Do you feel His pleasure on you as you do what you do as “unto the Lord?” Are you passionate doing in your work? There’s going to be seasons when it’s more difficult. But knowing God has called you to a job helps you stick through [...] Read more »
I’ve been called to be a pastor and right now I’m doing almost all of it online. I’m blessed with the work I do to receive my living, but also want to agree with God and his call on my life. Here’s my prayer of agreement I pray to agree with God’s thoughts for me. My Prayer of Agreement 1 Corinthians 9:14; Romans 11:29; 1 Chronicles 4:10; Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Romans 3:22-24; Galatians 5:25; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 1 John 2:27 Lord, you have [...] Read more »
The most obvious example of blessing boundaries being for a geographical location we can find in Scripture is the promised land. God promised Abraham that the land he walked upon would be for his descendants. We also see when the children of Israel were in Egypt the area of Goshen where they lived was kept from the plagues that came against the Egyptians. We also see it in the New Testament. Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of [...] Read more »
Let’s take a look at the promises we have for God to be good… O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. Psalm 34:9-10 (New American Standard Bible) For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He [...] Read more »
Scripture is that God won’t honor sin. David said about God: When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, ? you consume their wealth like a moth— ? surely everyone is but a breath. Psalm 39:11 (New International Version, ©2010) Could your lack be because of sin in your life? The Good News is with God there is forgiveness and grace. There are all kinds of excuses Christians use to sin. Stop using those excuses and decide to do right. Now we [...] Read more »
I’ve got some questions for you to consider: Have you planted much but harvested little? Do you eat but never have enough? Do you drink but not to your fill? Do you put on clothes but are not warm? Do you earn wages but put them into a purse with holes? Have you expected much but have seen it turn out to little? If you are it could be because you’re not understanding the Key of Blessing Boundaries. When we [...] Read more »
I’m going to be starting a new series called the Key of Blessing Boundaries. I’ve done the research in Scripture and seen the examples in life. A blessing boundary can be defined as “a biblical or prophetic limit to God’s blessing.” Yes I agree God’s blessings are destined to overtake us, but in order for that to happen we need to position ourself to receive them. It’s not about works. It’s not about earning. It’s about obeying what God has [...] Read more »

What are the promises when I obey God? I’ve never preached on this portion of Scripture except when I’ve shared this message. It’s a powerful one to consider. Deuteronomy 28:1-13 (NLT) “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: Your [...] Read more »
The answer to this question is something I need to live out regularly on Twitter – @revtrev I’m writing a book called “Follow Me As I Follow Christ – a blueprint for Kingdom Influence on Twitter” and I needed to included this information. So far, our focus has been on understanding how you can judge without condemning. But what are you to do when you’re condemned by others? You are going to be unfairly judged. So let’s address how to [...] Read more »
