When you go through any sort of trauma. . .sickness, loss of a job or even a loved one. . .you will inevitably meet someone who says “I’ve been thinking about you.”

This phrase is often uttered when caring people want to express their love and concern about your situation but they aren’t sure what else to say.

To have someone tell you they’ve been thinking about you in the midst of your personal challenge or adversity is always appreciated.

I’ve experienced this first hand this year.  I interact with many people on a daily basis. . .some of whom I’ve never met but who know about me . . .because of an article in a local newspaper about how I overcame breast cancer this year.

Notice I don’t refer to myself as a cancer survivor but as an overcomer.

I vividly remember a Pastors’ breakfast I hosted in Birmingham, AL.  After the meeting I was amazed to hear a number of Pastors say they’re weren’t teaching on tithes and offerings at the moment. . .because many of their people were either laid off or unemployed.

I told them that was the absolute worst thing they could do.  They were failing to teach the one thing that is guaranteed to get their people out of their financial abyss.

Over the years, I’ve had people asked if there any such thing as a GUARANTEED HARVEST.

My answer is always the same and it’s simple.  . .ABSOLUTELY.

This information is not secret information . . . it’s not mystical or magical . . . it’s simply and profoundly, the Word of God.

The scriptural insight in this teaching has changed the lives of millions of people just like you and best of all, it can change your life as well.  Remember, if God did it for others, He will do it for you.

Here are seven amazing facts about how to guarantee your harvest.

“Father, in the name of Jesus, I command this Holy Spirit led-seed to go where I tell it to go. . .to do what I tell it to do. . .I speak that it will not return void.  In the strong name of Jesus, by the authority of the Word in Matthew 16:19 which says that whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven. . .I bind any and every hindering spirit that would seek crop failure for the precious seed that I’m sowing.  The Word says in John 16:23 that whatever I ask in your name. . .you will give it to me.  Father, just as a farmer expects a harvest from the seed he sows into the ground. . .I’m claiming my mega harvest over the seed that I’ve sown.  I’m standing in expectation for an immediate bumper crop harvest.  In the name of Jesus, I pray.  Amen.”

Pastor Joel Osteen said:

“It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.”

As I was meditating on this quote. . .I felt stirred to share how to turn poverty into prosperity.

There are seven truths we must understand about poverty.

First, poverty is the devil’s anointing.

Second, poverty happens inside you before it ever happens around you.

Third, poverty will not keep you out of heaven but it may keep others out.
