2 Peter 1:4 Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

God gave you very great and precious promises! How do you look at your life? What are the next steps that you are planning to take in your life? Do you plan to have wealth in it? Are you planning to have water and bread or gold and silver? If you have no plans about getting wealth, being prosperous and grow spiritually then you leave God out of your plans! God told you, that very great and precious promises were given to you. What does it mean? It means that tomorrow you must have more than today.

Very great and precious promises! Small and not much! Are you planning to live like that? Why? Because fear and lack of faith is ruling in your life. You don't have to lean on a prophetic word to understand whether you have received it or not.  2000 years ago these very great and precious promises were written in the Word of God. How to activate this Word for you? By taking them into your thoughts and planning them into your future. You say that you won’t make ends meet and then you must do this and that, and this is the fall back. Do you plan very great and precious promises in it? No. Why? Subconsciously you choose not to obey Him. Your subconsciousness rules in your life not your faith. We must repent before God that He is not in the plans we have for tomorrow. We have deserted His Word and we believe in what our mind is calculating right now. We have not taken account God and His Word. We rebel against His word. Of course that doesn't mean that we should be stupid.

If you won’t plan next great blessings of God into your life, then it means that you won’t allow them to come, you continue to pray God to change your life and to bless you, but you yourself are keeping the door closed while asking Him to come in. How can He come?

What does it mean? How to understand this? I will give you an example about my last meeting with the brothers in Africa. For one and half hour they spoke about how wonderful and nice they are, but how poor and difficult life they are living.

If you try to prove someone how nice you are, then you are not nice at all. But if you believe that Jesus has made you good and that God is always good, then you won’t need to prove anything to anyone. You need to live of faith and do what the Holy Spirit tells you to. God loves you the way you are. It's difficult to change your physical body, but it's easy to change your spiritual condition. You change it through repentance, through renewing your mind, exercising and living of faith. I answered to my brothers: „I started from zero, I have gone through it, thousands of times I have put my hope in people and I have always been disappointed and quarreled. After I decided in my heart to stop asking God for money, my life changed. Do you know what God asked me? Why do you ask money from me? I have no money. “ Show me a scripture from the bible where its written that there's money in heaven! Show me at least one scripture from the bible, where Jesus, Apostle Paul, Peter and John prayed for money! Can you see from the bible a scripture where it’s written that they prayed to god for money? You won’t find it.  There is no pennies, shillings, cents, rublas in heaven. Where do you address your prayer?  Heaven? There is no money there so stop doing it!

Matthew 6:33, 34 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

What things! Everything that you desire! Pray for the kingdom of God to come. Pray that you would be revived, that the church would be revived and your town would have a revival! Seek for His righteousness!Who is His righteousness? They are  Holy Spirit, His Son and His Word. Seek His word and His will! Ask what He wants to! But all day long you continue to ask what you want. If you continue to do that then your life will be very difficult.

Pray: „Dear Heavenly Father I seek for Your righteousness. I seek for my work in the body of Christ. Where should I go today and what shall I do? God speak to me! Clean my ears for they are shut because I have rebelled against You! I wish that we could walk together again and I could be Your friend! Forgive me that I have walked in my own ways. That's why I have been troubled and the enemy has deceived me. He has made me see my own needs more than the needs of others. I have lost the orientation, sensitivity and smelling. Help me! I thank You in the name of Jesus Christ! “

You are free to think like that! Very great and precious promises have been given to you! But they will not be released into your life, until you seek things that are not precious and very great, which are not eternal, but what you need and what God has not forbid you to have.

One of the pastors I spoke with in Kenya had started with 2-3 churches in Uganda and some churches in Kenya. I told them: „There's one way how you can get things from God – seek for His righteousness! If you want to receive anything from Him – give! God didn't say that you receive money from Him as you pray to Him. He said that if you give I will give to you. But if you won’t give, but continue to pray, then I won’t give you. All the keys are in your hands! “

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

One of these pastors had left the teachers job in two or three schools and began to serve God by working with the children. He spoke about many miracles, what God had done in his life and about the children whom I met.

First thing I did when I saw these children. I started to give them. I went, caressed them and gave them candies. What did I do? I taught them to give. I told them: „You know you don't need to sigh! If these children have nothing then go to them and tell them to take the leaves of the trees and give these to each other. “ Kenya will remain a poor country until they won’t learn to believe and to give, but continue to complain and whine. You must teach the children how to give! You must teach them to pet and hug each other! They will learn it and understand that it's more blessed to give. Start to give yourself! You must totally change your life! You must learn to put your hope in God! You can not live so that one day you give, but the other day you won’t give."

These pastors said that they have no mentor and they would like me to become their leader, they said we will come under your ministry and we will give you an account of everything that we do for the word you spoke was awesome.

Now, you receive these promises through faith by obedience and if you won't seek what is useful for you, but what is useful to God! Will God like that? Is it needful? God must become greater and you must become less!It is a process. If you want to be successful you must follow God! Stop playing up! Look at your life! You have a seed to sow! And God wants you to sow so that you could reap. If you sow you store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. If you are not sowing you have saving economy and you gather His wrathinto your cup. And one day He will pour it on you. Seek whom to give! You don't believe that God does miracles and that's why you are looking for material. God is a Spirit. But you seek after material. God says that if you want to receive anything from Me, then from Me you receive spiritual, and this will teach you how to receive material! Stop savings economy! Surrender to God! Repent! If you really believe, you will never save money, for very great and precious promises have been given to you. What an awesome God we serve! He can not live without giving!

Galatians 4:1 What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.

Do you agree that you are an heir in Christ? But as long as you don't have spiritual growth in your life, you are not different from the world, for you are still a child. It means that you can not use your inheritance, God will not answer to your prayers, you live in misery, and you have problems at work, at home, in the church, in the finances, in relationships and everywhere for you are not different from a slave.

Do you understand now why your prayers have not been answered! God will look at you and He won’t see what you see or imagine of yourself.

God is seeing an infant, who doesn't want to take the feeding-bottle. And now this baby says: „Give me money, husband, wife, car, an apartment, food etc! “ Although he/she is an heir! Do you understand now why you have fallen all the time? Stop it! Enough! Through the Word of God you grow spiritually if you receive the Word through faith!

Prayer is a powerful tool! It enables you to resist the devil. Be lead by the Spirit as you pray, and go to the level of love, where you can walk in forgiveness! You can forgive everyone, believe in God and do what He tells you to do. You can not go there before you have prayed. Without ac prayer you can not do what God wants you to. And if you won’t grow you will remain as a child swayed by every wind. But if you grow then one day you will receive a passport.

Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children!

Jesus began and ended His service with prayer. He prayed continually. He knew that God can save Him. He was a powerful Man of Prayer! You must be like Him! Prayer opens your eyes. Eagle who doesn't fly is more helpless then a chicken. Lion who doesn't roar is a dead lion. And a Christian who doesn't pray is like a car with an empty tire. If eagle is not flying it looses its privileges. It is helpless for it was not created to live on the ground. And you were not born into the kingdom of heaven without prayer! Commit yourself to prayer! Prayer is like loading the battery of your cell phone. If you won’t load the cell phone, you can not call.

Don't remain a child in Christ! Move on in faith, from victory to victory!

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

By giving plan very big and precious promises into your life! Look for a seed in your life!

Look, what is in your life that you can give! If you see a need of another one, give!

Pray: „Father, show me, where is a seed in my life! “

You already have received what you need!

If you do something supernatural then you will get everyone's attention. The eyes of God turned immediately to Jesus when He decided to go on the cross. If you won’t pray you will never see yourself as a child of God. God will fulfill all the dreams of your childhood, if you start doing what He wants you to!

With the love of God,

Pastor Paul Armand
