Too many people have their eyes on things going on in the world. With the economy, terrorism, and health issues (Bird Flu, Swine Flue, all kinds of Cancers). But those problems already have answers to them.
God has his own economic plan for increase and it is set and cannot be broken.
See Luke 6:38 and 2Corinthians 9:6
Read 1Kings 17:9-16
Notice God's system in action-give and it shall be given.... Notice she had to give to the man of God and what she gave was multiplied. And it was done according to the word of the Lord.
Read Luke 5:1-7
Notice Peter gave Jesus the use of his boat. He sowed the use of his boat. They toiled all night and caught nothing but at Jesus word he reaped bountifully. Are you starting to see a pattern? (according to the word of the Lord and at thy word). Notice it's the word that brings increase.
God has his own HomeLand Security
See 2Kings 6:13-17(Ps. 34:7;91:11,12 Isa. 54:17 Luke 10:19)
Notice Ellisha knew that there was more with him than his enemies. God has his own HomeLand Security Agents. But God's agents follow you wherever you go and keep you from all harm. Notice God doesn't even want you to dash your foot against a stone. So according to God's security plan there's noone or nothing that can harm you. That's my idea of security.
God has his own Health Plan
See Ps. 91:10 Ps. 103:3 Ex. 23:25 Deu. 7:15 (Pro. 4:20-22 & Pro.12:18)
He's the God that heals all diseases.
He's the God that keeps all diseases away from you.
He's the God that takes diseases out of the land.
He's the God that has supplied medicine for all your flesh (and his medicine is free and has no side effects)
So if you are sick you can be healed and if you are not sick God can keep you that way.
So take your eyes off the things in the world and put them on the things of God.

Send The Word Out Ahead (Let The Word Clear Your Path)
There's an old spiritual hymn that goes "I'm climbing up the rough side of the mountain". And many people related with that, that you just have to go through life struggling. But that goes against the bible. And that's been the problem too many mountain climbers and not enough mountains movers. Instead of climbing the mountain why not get rid of it. Let's see what God has to say about the mountains in your life. God said every mountain and hill shall be made low (Isa. 40:4). How? The Bible says the hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord (Ps.97:5). And God and his word are one in the same (John 1:1). They melted like wax because his word is like fire (Jer. 23:29). Your mountains melt at God's word. And that rough side shall be made plain (or smooth). How? By the hammer of the word (Jer. 23:29). In Isaiah 41:7 notice God says he that smootheth with the hammer. And the crooked shall be made straight for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. And why did God speak it? So that you would have something to say (Heb 13:6). Notice it says that God spoke so that you would boldly proclaim. What is God doing? He's putting his word in your mouth (Isa. 51:16). And when his word is in your mouth it shall accomplish (Isa. 55:10,11). But that word has to be spoken with faith (Mark 11:23). And faith cometh by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). It's a lot easier to walk on a flat, straight, smooth surface that a high, rough, crooked mountain. God don't want you struggling he wants to give you rest (Matt. 11:28).
So send the word out ahead of you. Let the word clear your path. Wherever you send your words you will follow (James 3:3,4)

Recession Is Not For You (Let that Plaque Pass Over You)
Look at Exodus 8:20-28; 9:3-6; 9:22-26; 10:21-23; 11:4-7; 12:13
Notice there was a dividing line between the Egyptians and the children of Isreal. Just because something comes upon the land does not mean you have to be a part of it. God has put a dividing line between his people and the world. Look at Ex. 11:7 God has put a difference between the church and the world. Not only that but notice the last plague God said put lambs blood on the two side post and over the door as a token so that when He sees it the plague will not(that's worth saying again) will not come upon you. So when people did as He said whoever was in the house was safe. Well the Lamb of Lambs has shed his blood for you so that you are covered wherever you are. Also, that plague found you wherever you were in the field, in the streets, in your business, at home wherever you were. Well if a plague can find you wherever you are so can the Blessing. Look at Deuteronomy 28:1-13 you are not under the curse you are under the Blessing. And just as they could not outrun that curse you can't outrun the Blessing. Now you remember when I said there is a dividing line between the children of God and the word, there is but too many christains have choosen to cross that line and include themselves in with the world. How? By opening thier mouths and speaking contrary to the Word. Anything God wants to do for you or to you you can stop with your mouth. Look at the children of Isreal they were right at the point were God was ready to take them into the promised land but when the 12 spies came back they said the land is just as God said it is but there's giants in the land. Joshua and Caleb said let's go up at once and take the land and the rest said no we are like grasshoppers and none from that generation made it in the Promised Land except Joshua and Caleb they received what God wanted them to and all the others didn't because of a misuse of the mouth. If that's not proof enough look at Zacharius in Luke chapter 1 the angel came to him and said his wife Elizabeth would bring forth a son and he said "Whereby shall I know this"? In other words he did not believe so before he could speak anymore doubt the angel shut his mouth. If he didn't have any power to stop what God wanted why did the angel shut his mouth so he could not speak. You see, the Bible says that blessings and curses come out of the same mouth James 3:9,10. And the more you curse yourself the further you get from the Blessing. So instead of cursing yourself start blessing yourself so that God will fulfill his word Numbers 14:28. God said He would do as they spoke in his ears. He also said his word would not return to him void Isaiah 55:11. So stop crossing the dividing line and stay under the Blessing. And I'm still not finished. Look at Psalms 91:8,10 God said Only with thine eyes shall thou see the reward of the wicked. Only with thine eyes shall thou see how else can you see except with your eyes the reward of the wicked? When you experience what they experience when you suffer what is meant for them. Notice also verse 10 no plaque shall come near your dwelling. NO PLAGUE! Now if that's not enough to convince you that recession is not for the children of God I don't know what will.

What Can You Believe
Read Mark 9:22,23
The man said to Jesus "if you can do anything have compassion and help us". What can God do is never the question. For with God nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). The question is what can you believe. Notice Jesus took the focus off of what God could do and put the focus on what the man could believe. In other words Jesus was saying you take care of your part my part is already taken care of I have the power. Your part is to believe. Because without faith you cannot receive from that power. What you receive from God is according to your faith. Like in the case of the two blind men that asked Jesus to have mercy on them notice Jesus asked them if they believed he could do it. Notice the focus was on what they believed. Then Jesus topped it off and said, "according to your faith be it unto you (Matt.9:27-29). The power is constant the only thing that changes is peoples faith. Like Peter walking on the water, Jesus said to Peter "Come" and that one word was enough for Peter to walk on the water. But what happened when he saw the wind and the waves he became afraid. The power stayed constant the only thing that changed was Peter's faith. In Mark chapter 5 in the case of Jairus after he got the news his daughter was dead Jesus immediately told him "fear not only believe" (Mark 5:36). The centurion said to Jesus "speak the word only and my servant shall be healed". And Jesus answered him "as thou hast believed so be it done unto you" (Matt. 8:8,13). So instead of trying to figure out what God can do ask yourself is there anything too hard for God (Gen. 18:14 Jer. 32:17,27).
God can do but can you believe.
