Beyond all we ask or think:  

Ephesians 3:20
20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

            What do you want in life? Don’t hesitate! Ask as big as you can possibly think. That still doesn’t even get started with how much God is able to do for us. There isn’t an adjective “big” enough to describe what His power has the ability to do. And guess what? That power is the same power that works within us! The power that created the universe resides within us and is available to help us in time of need. We just need to learn how to tap in on that power. Then all our needs will be met.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "My children, you have but to ask Me of whatever you should desire. Make it as big as you can or as small as you can. There is nothing that is too difficult for Me, nor anything that I would withhold from you. Nothing shall be impossible for you when you ask Me according to My will. Nothing is so small that I would not be interested in doing it for you. Trust in Me that I will do only what is good for you. I will never do anything that is harmful to you. You can trust Me to do all that is necessary for you; for I will fulfill all that I have planned for you. This power does not come from some faraway place, but from within you; for the power that raised My Son from the grave resides in you.”

            58. He is able to do beyond all that I could ever ask or think of Him.

Supply and multiply your seed for sowing:

2 Corinthians 9:10-11
10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;
11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.

            These verses are applied by numerous people to giving money. When you liken giving money to ministries of God, you are planting seeds. These seeds will sprout and multiply, giving many seeds in return. Since you reap the same kind of thing that you plant, you reap money “seeds”.

            This can very well be true. However, be careful of those encouraging you to give into their ministries. They may simply be using this to reap your seeds for themselves. Then your seeds can’t grow for you because they plowed them up for their own use (not necessarily for what God intended).

            On the other hand, don’t completely disregard that analogy because it is true at times. Be open to God’s directions, not man’s, and you will be fine. Some people are simply looking for an excuse not to give. Don’t worry; they won’t reap anything of note.

            Do you not have anything to sow? God is the One who will supply the seed to sow. He will give you the opportunity to plant seeds. He too is the One who will do the multiplying.

            These don’t have to be money seeds. They can be seeds of time or effort. You will also reap when sowing those types of seeds. God will increase the harvest of your righteousness. It could be that you sow one type of seed, but God causes you to reap a different type of harvest. Besides, it says that you will be enriched in everything. God will take care of all your needs as you take care of His peoples’ needs; including money needs.

           

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You do not think that I want My children to live in poverty, do you? I don’t want them to live in poverty whether financially or spiritually. I want My children to abound in all things. I have not decreed a life of poverty for My children. I have decreed a life of abundance for them so that they can bless others. As people see how I bless you, then they will want to come unto Me so that I may bless them also. There is nothing that I would withhold from you. I only want the best. Allow Me to bless you abundantly in the spiritual and in the earthly.”

            57. God will supply me with seed for sowing. He will also multiply that seed and give me a great harvest of righteousness.

Every spiritual blessing:  

Ephesians 1:3
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

            How many things are covered by the word every? They all are. That means there are none that we haven’t been blessed with. If we need a spiritual blessing, it’s ours. We just have to ask in faith. This blessing is of course in Jesus. The Father blessed Him with every spiritual blessing, and we’re in Him. Therefore, He blessed us with all.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "Yes, I do bless you with every spiritual blessing in My Son. I bless you abundantly; so that you may bless others. You will never lack spiritually if you listen to Me. I will show you how to grow spiritually with the blessings I give unto you. I don’t want you to stay the way you are. I want you to grow spiritually so that you may help Me minister to those around you who are in need. There is nothing that I would withhold from you. You have all of My Son’s spiritual blessings. There is nothing lacking in your life. Follow His example; for what He did you can do in Me.”

            56. I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies.

Abundance:

            Father gives good to those who ask:  

Matthew 7:11
11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

            How dare we think that God will give bad things to us! Those of us who have children … would we give bad gifts to our children? How much more will He give good gifts to us? He is incapable of giving bad ones. Notice that it also says to those who ask Him. Have we asked Him for everything that we need? How about for everything we want?

            Perhaps there is something that you need, but don’t want to bother Him with it. Sometimes as parents we get so involved with situations that we’re in that we either verbally or through our actions give our children the impression that we don’t want to be bothered with their problems. God is not that way. We won’t bother Him by asking. I tell my students during a test they are free to come up and ask me a question, and that the worst I will say to them is, “Sorry. That’s something you’re supposed to know.” God is the same way. The worst He is going to say is, “Sorry. That’s not for you.” Or, “That’s something you’re supposed to believe for.” James says we have not because we do not ask or we ask with wrong motives.

            So, go ahead and ask Him.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "My children, do you really think that I would give you something bad if you asked Me for something you needed? You wouldn’t do that to your children, would you? How could I not give only good things to My children whom I dearly love. You are expecting too little from Me. I don’t give just enough to get by on. I give an abundance so that you may give to others for Me. I cannot do what you will not let Me do. You have to ask and believe that I will give you what you need. I will never fail to meet you needs as long as you listen to Me when I tell you to give to others. I cannot help some people without you. They will not believe Me to help them because they have been taught that I don’t help My children … that they have to do it all by themselves. Trust in Me to meet your needs, and I will bless you so richly that you will not know what to do with the excess. Don’t worry. I will show you what to do with it.”

            55. Our earthly fathers were concerned about us and wanted to only give good things to us. Even more so is My Heavenly Father concerned about my needs. He will give good things to me when I ask Him.
