Help I've got a net breaking boat sinking blessing. ( I've got a too much blessing) It's too much for me.
If you would have been on the shore that day, that is what you would have heard Peter yelling to his partners on the shore.
But that shouldn’t surprise us, Isn’t that what the bible says: Pressed down shaken together and running over Shall men give unto your bosom?
You know many of the things we buy today have words written on them that say contents May settle during shipping. And sure enough you open the bag or box and it looks like somebody stole a third of your product.
But I want you to know that God has a blessing with your name on it and the contents haven't settled. As a matter of fact not only have contents not settled (contents are overflowing).
That means that it wouldn't all fit in the Box. It’s a too much blessing
Most of us Have a hard time, Most of the time believing for a just enough blessing.
Just enough to pay the rent.
Just enough to put gas in the car.
Just enough to buy a few groceries
Just enough to keep the lights on.
Friend That's a Wilderness mentality That's called the Wilderness of just enough. When God brought Israel out of Egypt He took them through a wilderness of Just enough but it was only suppose to be a hall way to the Land of overflow, the land that flowed with milk and Honey.
(Just enough is definitely better than never enough) but it's not the Promised Land.
God wants to take you to the Promised Land.
The Lord told me to tell somebody that he has a blessing with your name on it. It's in the post office it's been dispatched from heaven and it's waiting for you to put your claim on it.
You've prayed you've confessed the word, you've worked your faith you've stood on the word.
But if you’re honest with yourself many of you are in the same place Peter was that day!
You've been disappointed. (Somebody I'm talking to today has been in a disappointing season) Your faith has been disappointed over and over again You've thrown your net out over and over again and it seems like it has been for nothing And it feels like all that prayer and all that believing and all that confessing was just a waste of time.
But The Lord says to prophesy to you: your disappointing season shall come to an end. (Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning).
You know when you order something they give you a delivery date (that is your appointment to receive what you have ordered).
The Lord says this is Your Divine appointment
But you say I’ve been to the post office 6 times already and there's no sign of my package, no evidence of rain anywhere (Go again Elijah said)
The Holy Spirit is telling you (Go again) Persistent faith never loses.
Then His Servant comes back and says: this time I saw a little cloud the size of a mans hand.
Elijah said I hear the sound of an abundance of rain.
I prophesy to you: your drought shall be over taken by an abundance Of rain.
The Lord said: Prophesy a New season, a New Anointing (So I prophesy today A New Season A New anointing) An anointing for break through and release and supernatural abundance.
There is an anointing for every season of your life. (There's an anointing for the hard places).
There's an anointing to sustain you through the drought.
There is an anointing for your long nights of fruitless labor.
And there is an anointing for breakthrough and release and supernatural abundance.
Lift your hands and ask God the shift you into the anointing for abundance breakthrough and supernatural release.
Jesus was trying to shift Peter into a new anointing (but he resisted).
I’m paraphrasing: Peter said Lord It's all been for nothing: we’ve worked so hard for nothing ( we’ve work so hard just for empty Nets) we've prayed and fasted and confessed your word for nothing.
It's all been for nothing.
Friend let me give you a revelation (nothing is great preparation for too much).
God will usually always take you through a season of nothing just before the break through into too much.
Why? because God wants all the glory ( he wants you to know and everyone else that it was not the strength of your flesh)
You are not the Savior
You are not the Healer
You are not the deliverer
You are not the miracle worker.
He wants you to know experientially that it's the anointing that produces the Miracle. It's not by might nor by power But by my spirit saith the Lord of hosts.
And he wants you to learn his voice.
The first key to shifting into the anointing of abundance is hearing his voice.
The second key is obeying him: Obedience to an instruction even if it seems ridiculous.
God will let us wear ourselves out doing what we know how to do so we'll be ready to hear his voice. You see when we've still got strength, we’ve still got options we think we can work it out ourselves we don't hear his voice.
It’s not that He’s not speaking, it’s just that we’re too busy, making too much noise to hear Him.
So he waits for us to wait for him. (To be led by the Spirit)
To be led by the spirit means he is in front. (So he waits for us to fall back in line and start waiting on him)
Then he speaks a ridiculous instruction.
If you want to shift into a ridiculous blessing you have to be willing to obey a ridiculous instruction.
It was a ridiculous instruction for the prophet to tell a broke busted and disgusted widow to go and borrow empty vessels not a few and then take her little pot of oil and start pouring into all those empty vessels.
But she obeyed the ridiculous instruction and the anointing of ridiculous blessings came on her and she went into Supernatural overflow.
I feel a ridiculous anointing getting ready to fall on someone right now. (come on, if you want that ridiculous anointing to fall on you, lift your hands and ask God to send it to you).
Key #3 to ridiculous blessing is you have to get a vision of abundance.
Most of us don't have any problems seeing ourselves with just enough barely making it, just keeping our heads above water.
I know, I've been there: for 7 years we fought just to keep our heads above water (We We're faithful to tithe and never missed a service, but we hadn't gotten the vision of abundance.
We couldn't see ourselves blessed with any more than just enough to pay our bills.
Then God connected as to a Ministry that had a more than enough anointing on it.
Through the teaching and the preaching and the example in their actions we got a vision of ourselves living in abundance.
You have to see yourself in abundance. (How do you see yourself)
You may have empty boats, empty nets, empty cupboards, empty pockets, but you have to see something that isn't there.
God told Abraham lift up your eyes look from the place where you are: look east west north and south everything you can see I'll give it to you.
God was saying: if you can see it you can have it
When the prophet told that woman to get all those empty vessels he was activating her spiritual sight (Her faith Vision) he wanted her to see by faith every one of those vessels filled.
And when she obeyed that ridiculous instruction and began to pour what little bit of oil she had into those vessels. She made that little pot of oil her Miracle seed.
It didn't make sense, it was nothing compared to the size of her need, it could not get her out of debt, but she poured it out she sowed it, she released what she had in order to get what she needed.
And her obedience to a ridiculous instruction took her into overflow and put her in the oil business. Peter's seed was his boat. Jesus used his boat as a Pulpit.
Jesus told Peter to launch out into the deep for a draught.
“ He was giving peter a vision of abundance.”
Jesus didn't say try one more time and see if you might catch something.
He said emphatically let down your nets for a net breaking boat sinking blessing.
“He was saying there is a blessing out there with your name on it waiting for you to let down your nets”.
Jesus was saying there is a multitude of fish out there Waiting for you to let down your nets. They have an appointment to jump into your nets And if you don't get out there and let down your nets you’re going to miss your appointment with your blessing.
Tell your neighbor don't miss your appointment.
Whatsoever he saith unto you do it: that's what Mary told the servants at the wedding when they ran out of wine.
It may not make sense but do it
It may be hard on the flesh but do it
You may not like it but do it.
Everybody may think you’re crazy but do it.
The Lord said (Prophesy) to somebody hearing this word: Through your obedience your water is getting ready to be turned into wine.
Water speaks of just enough wine speaks of excessive overflow and abundance.
Water speaks of survival and maintenance but wine speaks of thriving and overflow.
When Peter obeyed he went into Supernatural overflow and abundance.
When the Widow obeyed she went into Super Natural overflow and Abundance
When the servants obeyed the water became wine.
God is trying to shift somebody into a new anointing.
Peter almost missed his breakthrough anointing because he argued with Jesus.
Tell your neighbor don't argue with the Lord.
One word shifted Peter into a ridiculous blessing (That one word changed everything) nevertheless
Peters argument went something like this: Lord (It doesn't make sense You don't fish during the day) Lord I'm tired I’ve fished all night (I don't feel like It)
Lord I don't want to be disappointed again (it's not worth the effort)
But Peter spoke one word that changed everything: nevertheless.
You better have a nevertheless in your vocabulary:
That one little word seems so insignificant but it is full of power.
Nevertheless means:
I don't care what it looks like
I don't care what it feels like
I don't care what people say about me
I don't care if I tried it before and it didn't work
I don't care if it's going to cost me some pride
I don't care if it doesn't make the sense nevertheless.
I don’t care if it makes me look foolish
Nevertheless I will obey nevertheless I will go, I will do, I will pray, I will forgive, I will sow that seed, I will take that step, I will fill the water pots with water even though everyone’s expecting wine. I will go dip 7 times in a muddy Jordan.
I will March around the walls for 7 days, I will borrow empty vessels not a few. I will make the prophet a cake even though it was going to be the last meal for me and my child.
Nevertheless, Nevertheless, That word is your Bridge From your season Of nothing to too much.
Tell your neighbor I'm crossing over on a nevertheless.
Nevertheless: that word shifts you out the natural realm into the supernatural.
I may see empty Nets nevertheless , I may feel pain in my body nevertheless. My children may be acting crazier than ever, nevertheless, my bank account maybe on life support nevertheless, they just repossessed my car, nevertheless I just lost my job nevertheless.
My wife or my husband just served me with divorce papers (Nevertheless)
Praise God: I feel a nevertheless anointing in this place right now.
The Devil may be attacking me on every side ( nevertheless)
There may be no relief in sight (nevertheless)
Nevertheless:
I Will Bless The Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Nevertheless all things work together for good to them who love the Lord and who are the called according to his purpose.
God is for me and it doesn’t matter whose against me.
Nevertheless
Somebody shout Nevertheless (shout it again)
Nevertheless: When that word is spoken in faith it notifies heaven that you're ready to do whatever The holy spirit instructs you to do.
Secondly it cripples hell. Why? Because when you declare that word in faith you have just notified hell it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter how old you are or how young you are
It doesn't matter how much money you have or don't have
It doesn't matter how educated or uneducated you are
It doesn't matter what the devil does, it doesn't matter what hell throws at you
It doesn't matter if it's sickness or disease
It doesn't matter if it's financial problems
It doesn't matter if the devil attacks your family.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a lions den or a fiery furnace
It’s already settled I'm committed nothing's going to change my mind I've got a NEVERTHELESS on the inside of me.
Nevertheless: that word is prophetic Because that word declares it is done before I even start.
In other words: when you declare that word from your heart you are releasing Faith.
Your faith is testifying
Your faith is crippling hell.
We all remember Jesus words on the cross: (It is finished)
But Prophetically It was finished in the Garden when Jesus prayed (father let this cup pass from me, NEVERTHELESS) Not as I will but as thou wilt.
With that One word from Jesus lips (Hell was defeated) Your victory and my victory was won.
Somebody needs to open your mouth and prophesy: nevertheless
Put heaven on notice that you’re ready for your break through
Cripple hell
Let the devil know: It don’t matter, it’s already decided (come hell or high water) come sickness or health, come joy or pain, come drought or rain, come lions den or fiery furnace. Nevertheless.
Come on grab your neighbor’s hand and prophesy to them: (Nevertheless.)
When you prophesy you are putting pressure on your blessing, you are accelerating your blessing.
Nevertheless means: I refuse to be dominated by what my eyes see (I’m going to cast my nets into nothing because I’m believing for too much).
This is my Nevertheless praise
Now I want you to prophetically praise him like everything you’ve been believing God for just happened, like it just manifested.
That’s what Nevertheless means: It means I don’t see it in the natural but I’m going to praise Him just like it’s already done.
Somebody needs to put Hell on notice that you’re not quitting, you’re not giving up, you’re not turning the switch of faith off, you’ve got one more cast in you.
Praise him like:
Your prodigals just came home
Your healing just manifested
Your debt was just supernaturally cancelled
Your marriage is restored
Your addiction is broken
