Everything God promised Abraham has become ours; the problem is that we have trouble getting a handle on such truth.  The bible tells us in Galatians 3:14 “That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”    

Now keep in mind that God’s idea of a blessing is a far cry from what we as human beings believe. He doesn’t just say a flippant “Bless you” when someone sneezes. Rather, He is actually conferring on us the power to increase and prosper in every area of our lives. In fact, according to both Webster’s Dictionary and W.E. Vine, the word “bless” means: “to cause to prosper, to make happy, to bestow favor upon, to consecrate to holy purposes, to make successful, to make prosperous in temporal concerns pertaining to this life, to guard and preserve.”

When God blessed Abraham he made him a rich man-rich not only in land, but also in livestock, family and finances. His herds actually increased in size so much that he and his nephew, Lot, had to go their separate ways because the grazing land was too crowded to support both men’s herds.

God multiplied and blessed everything Abraham touched, wherever he went. But the blessing wasn’t limited to material things; it also applied to Abraham’s ability to overcome every obstacle placed in his path. He was truly an overcomer, empowered because he walked in the Blessing.

While Abraham’s wealth was the result of the blessing of God, it was not the objective of God. God was not making a covenant with Abram for the purpose of making him wealthy. It is often preached this way. God was making a covenant with Abraham for the purpose of bringing redemption to mankind; and the prosperity Abraham experienced was a “benefit” of his obedience to God. God clearly told Abram that in receiving His blessing, he was blessed to be a blessing.  God was thinking about a lot more than Abraham, He was thinking about all of humanity. God was thinking about you. It is from Abraham that Christians receive God’s blessings.  After reading Abraham’s story, here is what I believe….

•  I believe God is about to break some things wide open for you and bless you beyond measure.
• I believe He is about to manifest Himself and bestow His manifold blessing upon you in a mighty way.
• I believe God is about to grant you plenty and bless all the work of your hand.
• I believe He has opened to you His good treasure and you will now lend and not borrow.
• I believe you are the head and not the tail. You are at the top even it looks like you’re at the bottom.
• I believe you’re blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
• I believe you shall prosper in everything God has called you to do.
• I believe you are above and never will be beneath anything or anyone.

My Friend, I believe God has commanded His blessing on you.  It is a blessing, not a right. Don’t get side-tracked. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t give up. Don’t doubt God’s word. Don’t let the enemy rob you of your entitlment.

So I ask? Do you believe God? Do you believe His word? Do you believe what God has spoken over your life? Then you need to stand on His word in the same way Abraham did, unmoved by time, unmoved by problems and unmoved by circumstances that seem to drag on with no visible answers. Don’t let no devil, no demon, no demonic force, any person or thing stop you from believing what God has promised you.

The Blessing of Abraham belongs to you. You are an heir to a fortune and I command you, by the power of the Holy Ghost, to live like you are entitled to what God has for you.

Around the clock the enemy is on the prowl, seeking to cause disorder and destruction to your life. With military-like strategy and ruthless hostility, the devil aggressively searches for weakness in your faith, hoping to devour you with deception, temptation, or oppression.

Satan has targeted you as a victim. He knows your name and address, your strengths and weaknesses. He knows that you have the ability to influence a multitude of people. He sees the impact of your gift and ministry on others. He recognizes your anointing and your great purpose in God’s kingdom, so he wants to destroy you.  He wants to take you down.  Right now, he is waiting and planning for the moment to strike which is at a time when you are caught off-guard.                        

His method of operation is always “undercover.” That means he can come in under the radar, totally undetected. Subtly, he manipulates circumstances, disguising his activities behind the shroud of people or things. He will always seek to divert attention and the blame for his actions upon others.  But make no mistake about this…the devil is the real enemy, not your husband, not the Deacon, not the Pastor, not your wife, employer, boss, mother, father, friend, sister, cousin or Christian brethren.  It is the devil. 

You have a real enemy, but you also have a real power, and that is, the name of Jesus. When was the last time you spoke these words to the enemy, “The Blood of Jesus against you” or “Satan, loose your hold” or “Satan, the Lord rebuke you” or “Satan, I bind you in the Name of Jesus?” When was the last time you walked through your house pleading “The Blood, the Blood, the Blood” over situations and problems?  It is the Blood that Satan fears. Not your position, power, money or prestige.  Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb …” The devil understands the power of the Blood of Jesus and he fears “the power zone.” 

What is the power zone? It is when you are operating in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus.  When you call on Jesus, demons tremble. When you say Jesus, the devil is evicted. The Name of Jesus is the Name at which Satan will always flee.  

God has given you supernatural power.  The question is:  Are you operating in the power zone?  Are you exercising the authority which God has given you over the devil? God has given you authority over the power of the enemy.  He has given you power to drive Satan out of your territory and to break his grip over every stronghold in your life. The Bible says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).  God gave you power. 

When Satan makes his move and tries to take you down, you make your move and take him out. And you can do it, if you are operating in ”the power zone”.
