Introduction

One of my goals in ministry is for believers to learn that God is their source for and supply of all things, not their jobs, stock portfolios, inheritance, or material possessions. God wants you to grow in faith so that He is always your primary resource and first resort for medical, emotional, financial, and spiritual needs. It is my hope that as you read these Scriptures and consider these meditations on the biblical view of abundance, you will be able to live differently, wisely, debt-free, overflowing in abundance, and doing it all to the glory of God.

Then you will see and be radiant,

And your heart will tremble [with joy] and rejoice

Because the abundant wealth of the seas

will be brought to you,

The wealth of the nations will come to you.

(Isaiah 60:5 AMP)

You let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but you brought us to a place of abundance.

(Psalm 66:12 NIV)

This book has many scriptural references that hold great promises from God. As you read, choose the ones that best fit your situation. Hold onto them as you plant seeds for your future in God’s work and ministry. Then watch what happens! I have included many testimonies of success within these pages. Write down in a journal or mark in your Bible what your seeds are and where you plant them. Then jot down when and how God later blesses you with His miracles.

God has given me great revelation in the area of scriptural giving. Years ago my mom and dad often instructed people to pray and then give exactly what God told them to give. They would encourage believers to give an odd amount, such as $68.41, so they would remember the amount when the check was returned. In obedience to God, they told each person, You will smile as you write it and smile when it comes back.

God builds on what is already known or practiced. He has allowed me to understand this principle, to be obedient to His Word, and to take it to a new level. For years many Bible teachers have instructed us to find Scriptures on which to stand and believe God to fulfill. This was scriptural, because God’s Word tells us to remind Him that if we pray according to His will, He is faithful to fulfill His promises.

Put Me in remembrance;

Let us contend together;

State your case, that you may be acquitted.

(Isaiah 43:26 NKJV)

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding Yes! And through Christ, our Amen (which means Yes) ascends to God for his glory. (2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT)

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. (2 Corinthians 1:20 NKJV)

I have often repeated God’s promises back to Him, reminding Him of the wonderful things He has promised to me. And my new understanding of scriptural giving continues the revelation that He began with Mom and Dad so long ago.

My heart’s desire today is to help people walk out of the wilderness of financial hardship and into the land of blessing. Do you want to walk out of Egypt into the land of Canaan? Are you ready to move out of the land of lack and into the land of plenty? Through this book, I believe your finances will be healed. Not only that, but you will see incredible supernatural miracles take place as a result of your new understanding of scriptural giving, seeding, and declaring and decreeing Scripture passages over your particular situation.

Would you prayerfully consider just one promise as you begin this journey? I want you to fast for a month. No, I am not asking you to stop eating food. Rather, can you commit to speaking only positive words over your finances for the next month? Find Scriptures to support those positive words. In this book, I will give you some to start with, but God’s Word contains many more related to His willingness to bless you and pour out prosperity over you, His beloved child!

Scriptural giving does not just bring a breakthrough in finances. It also brings forth a breakthrough in every area of your life. I will give you my understanding of each Scripture passage listed, as well as pass along numerous testimonies of people just like you, who have given a particular amount and then stood on God’s promises of provision. It is so exciting to discover what happens when people come into agreement in their hearts, in their prayers, and in the words that they speak, as they declare, decree, and then give in obedience to God’s Word. They give a particular amount in accordance with the Scriptures, and everything begins to turn around!

We have seen the greatest results take place in our ministry when people name their seed and then add a scriptural basis to it. This seems to create a supernatural, spiritual power of combustion. Spoken words, combined with the words of the Scriptures, create a spark that soon grows into an explosion of miracles!

AND

Decree

Name Your Seed

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

And those who love it will eat its fruit.

(Proverbs 18:21 NKJV)

The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

(Isaiah 55:10–11 NLT)

The prophet Isaiah penned some of the most beautiful poetry ever written in any language for any generation. Isaiah 55 is among the most lyrical and wonder-filled he ever wrote. The imagery is so powerful, you will feel like you are walking under a waterfall of the Holy Spirit rather than reading words from a piece of paper.

All your senses are engaged as you read these verses and feel faith and joy welling up inside of you! The Holy Spirit is at work, confirming in your spirit that the words you are reading are true and can be trusted. The Spirit and the Word always work together with no contradiction between the two. The Living God speaks the Living Word, and the Eternal Spirit accomplishes all that is declared. His Word cannot fail and can be relied on without question. The Word of God always achieves its purpose—every time.

It is important to speak life over your finances. When you choose to speak God’s Word over any area of your life, it will not return void. He says it; you need to believe it. Name your seed. Are you believing God for a car, a house, a promotion? Isaiah 55:11 is a great Scripture to stand on and use as seed for whatever you are believing God to do in agreement with His Word.

Seed $55.11 or $551.10 or $5.51, and watch what God does. Of course, the number eleven is the number of alignment, and it applies to anything you are believing God to do. Provision for healing in all areas of life is included. Find the Scripture pertaining to your issue, use it as a seed, declare it, and decree it into your life. Because you belong to God through Jesus, your right standing with Him (your righteousness) gives you the authority to claim and stand on that Scripture and all the other ones we talk about in this book.

Speak to me, Lord. I’m listening and will declare your truth. Send out your word and cause it to produce much fruit and prosper wherever it goes. Amen.

Faith in God’s Promises

"This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

And their vindication is from Me," declares the Lord.

(Isaiah 54:17 NKJV)

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Romans 2:13 NIV)

You will also declare a thing,

And it will be established for you;

So light will shine on your ways.

(Job 22:28 NKJV)

For the word of God will never fail. Mary responded, I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true. And then the angel left her. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said. (Luke 1:37–38, 45 NLT)

The angel, Gabriel, tells Mary she is pregnant with a son by the Holy Spirit. He also tells her that her elderly relative, Elizabeth, has also conceived and will give birth to a son. Giving birth to children is certainly one of life’s greatest joys, but the issue can also be heartbreaking for some women who are unable to conceive. Elizabeth had not been able to conceive, and Mary was still a virgin. Gabriel recognized her amazement over both of these revelations and reminded her that nothing will be impossible for God.

Later, during Mary’s visit, Elizabeth praises Mary for believing the promise given to her by the angel. Both women received amazing promises, trusted in those promises, and praised God for His kindness to them. As a result, both women are remembered throughout the earth and in the heavens to this very day. Great is their reward. Their faith in God’s promises allowed them to receive incredible blessings
