Feeling the effects of the break-down of our economy is not being missed by anyone. The rich, middle-class and the poor are experiencing the brunt of what greed, lies and deception has brought this Country. The disregard for the welfare of the American people and the lust and greed of Wall Street, has taken a toll on Main Street. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, WAMU, Wachovia and the list goes on and on. Multi-Billion Dollar companies one day and broke the next day. People’s lives are being turned upside-down, retirement accounts dwindling down to nothing after years and years of hard work. Savings accounts are being depleted, jobs are being lost, unemployment rates are up, and there is a drastic increase in the number of people receiving food stamps, in my area. I have one question for you, who is bailing you out? Who is coming to your rescue and offering you help in your situation? People are taking their own lives because they cannot handle the stress of life. Marriages are on the rocks, singles are struggling to take of their children, food banks are running out of food. If you haven’t taken a moment to look around, I encourage you to do so. This is one of the worst times ever in our economy and you only have one choice in the matter.

For those of you who claim the name of Jesus, this is your opportunity to tap into the heart of God and find out the specifics of your bail-out plan. Is the Government going to write your name down or your small business name on their list and send you a check to bring you out of the hole or help you to maintain during this economic crunch? Absolutely not! So, what then shall we say to these things? “If God be for us, who can be against us”?

The bible declares that the wealth of the wicked is laid-up for the just. I don’t know about you, but wealth laid-up doesn’t do me any good. I need to have access; I need it to be released in order for it to help me in my situation. With this said, let me help you to understand what is happening in the Spirit realm. There is another economy that the people of God operate under. Regardless of what is going on around you, there is an Economic Stimulus Plan called “Sowing & Reaping” that the people of God are governed by. Another name for this plan is “Seedtime & Harvest”. This is the only language that should be understood by those who have been faithful to the word of God. The bible declares that whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Psalm 126:5 says, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy”. James 3:18 states, “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness”. I said this to say, that you should not be in a state of weariness, despair, fear, unbelief, or defeat. If you have been faithful to God, He will be faithful to you. The enemy’s strategy is the wear-out the Saints. He wants to get you so focused on your situation that you forget that you serve a God who is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that worketh in you. Again I ask, “Who is going to bail you out”?
Now, let’s talk about this wealth that is laid-up. For years, these multi-billion dollar companies on Wall Street have been posting false profits and revenues, deceiving the investors, while the CEOs become millionaires off of the backs of working people like me and you. This is how the economy has been fed for years and years, off of lies and deceit. Don’t think for one minute that Washington had no idea of what was going on. The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that all of this is God’s plan to show Himself strong to His people. He clearly said, “This is just a situation created for divine revelation”. He is exposing the lies and deception that has been on Wall Street for years. He is pulling off the cover and revealing the greed, partnerships and the backroom agreements that have led to the crisis we are experiencing in America right now. God is saying that if we, the people of God, will stop complaining long enough, stop crying long enough, and stop being carnal long enough to seek Him for guidance and direction, He will reveal His individual bail-out plan to us. This is the season where you should be capitalizing on the state of this economy, not being affected by it negatively and allowing it to cause chaos and confusion in your life. What gift do you have that you are not using? What passion do you possess that you are not utilizing? What service can you offer that will solve the problems of those around you? Too many of you are looking at what you don’t have and what you have lost, but you have failed to look on the inside and identify the potential that is lying there dormant. It is impossible to maximize your potential without identifying your purpose. If you are in business, what new service should you offer? What new target market should you discover? What type of free marketing ideas are you missing? I learned something from my mentor, Les Brown that totally changed my life. He said, “You must distract, dispute, and inspire”. In other words, distract the negative thoughts out of your mind, dispute the natural facts with the reality of the Word of God, and inspire yourself to be victorious through the activation of your faith in the promises of God. Get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Quit allowing the enemy to tell you how bad things are, and stand on the Word of God. This situation was created to reveal to you that God is Jehovah Jireh, your PROVIDER! You have to start declaring and decreeing to yourself and others, this is just a situation for divine revelation. There are many of you reading this article today that has been uncomfortable in your spirit for months now. God has been trying to get you to make a move, open a business, expand your business, apply for another job, accept the promotion, move to another city or state, write the book, or start the ministry. You wouldn’t listen; therefore, He is forcing you to obey. Would that happen to be you?
This season that we are in is simply a way for God to show Wall Street and Washington, that without Him everything and everybody will fail. Nobody is more powerful than God. Nobody has more wisdom that God. Warren Buffet and no one else can predict what God will do. He reveals what He wants, and does what He pleases. Like never before, you must anchor your soul to the Word. Get negative people out of your life and know that you are victorious even when cards appear to be stacked against you. Wall Street didn’t know that this fight was already fixed. God went “before” they started lying, and gave them a certain time-frame to waddle in their wealth from deception, and tagged the day and time for their fall. This didn’t just start with the Housing crisis. Think back to the fall of Enron. God was trying to give the lawmakers, and decision-makers heads-up on what was about to happen. When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was building an empire on sub-prime, risky loans with no oversight from the government, there were those who tried to worn Washington about the consequences of such actions. But, the bible does tell us that the day would come when people would do what was right in their own eyes. None of this is a surprise to God. It shouldn’t be a surprise to the Saints, but so many times we lose sight of what God is trying to reveal to us in spirit realm because we give too much energy to carnal things. It’s time to get into your prayer closet and seek the presence of God. You must know what moves to make in the hour. This is not the time or season to move based on how you feel. The enemy will try to get you anxious and fearful. He will try to put you in a state of panic, but God is saying stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Use financial wisdom and don’t make a move unless God says so. Victory is already yours!

Empowering through the Word,
