The Lord has been speaking to me over the past month that in the midst of all the chaos and darkness, He is still moving and extending His favor upon His people. I heard, "My Kingdom is still at hand in the midst of chaos. Keep your eyes on Me and move at My leading through doors that I open. You will receive My favor and provision to accomplish My mission."
Let me encourage you. My husband and I are experiencing the favor of God in the midst of this chaos, and (to be completely honest with you) I have been somewhat astounded by it. Like many of you, I have been battling feelings of despair and hopelessness in my flesh and soul, but at the same time, the Spirit of God within me is telling me to keep my eyes on Him, trust Him and move forward in obedience! It has been a real pressing through turbulent times! I often don't feel faith, but I know My God! He is mighty in the midst of chaos, confusion and darkness.
I have been hearing this Scripture in my spirit for months:
"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17 KJV)
6 Keys for Favor and Blessing During a Time of Famine
Recently, Holy Spirit reminded me that there are some things we (my husband and I) have done during this time of turmoil that are vital. He led me to Genesis 26 and showed me these keys through the account of Isaac receiving favor and blessing during a time of famine.
1. Believe and obey! We believed God, obeyed, and moved forward, regardless of our feelings and thoughts of doubt and fear. God told Isaac not to go to Egypt and that He would bless and prosper Him in accordance with the covenant He made with Abraham. Isaac believed and obeyed. We are grafted into that same covenant, and we have a better covenant in Christ! We are now one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and have been given access to every heavenly and earthly blessing! In the midst of the chaos and confusion of this world, we are seated with Christ in heavenly places!
Jesus tells us in John 16:33, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (Photo via Pixabay)
2. Don't return to Egypt! Egypt represents the world's ways – idolatry, demonic structures and systems of advancement based on pride and greed. During the lockdowns, Holy Spirit revealed many idols in our hearts; He also broke apart our religious ways of doing church and life in general...our usual comforts were removed. Don't return to them!
In the world we see evil abounding, intended to bring fear, doubt, hopelessness, anger and division. Yet in the midst of all of this, the Kingdom of God is advancing. There are outpourings of revival and glory is rising. Holy Spirit is moving mightily with a wind of change that is blowing upon all the world structures, within us and around us, because He is setting a new order and expanding our borders...
