FAITH DEMANDS A DISCONNECTION... GOING FROM A PANIC MODE TO A PICNIC MODE!!!

FAITH DEMANDS A DISCONNECTION... GOING FROM A PANIC MODE TO A PICNIC MODE!!!

As long as you are connected to a solid place of security, there is no chance for faith to be demonstrated. A good job, a sizable bank account, a retirement, are all part of the American dream, but they will flat line faith. It is not a sin to have these things, but how much of your faith is drained from Me and placed in them, is the issue. 

If this is all you have ever known as your source of supply, you will never know how much of your faith is in Me and My power.  It becomes very difficult to accept the, "something FROM nothing" way of the kingdom. Consider this senario, it's time to pay your taxes, you owe $1400, you have nothing saved, could you ever dream of finding a 1 ounce gold coin, in mouth of a trout, on the first day of fishing season. 

What about this one, you have 100 people show up for a picnic, they were supposed to bring their own food, but they were mistaken by thinking, you were supplying it. The truth is, you only brought enough for you. Could you believe that by blessing the 3 burgers, package of rolls, a 10 ounce container of potato salad and two cans of lemonade, it would expand to feed all 100 misinformed guests.

I had 5000 show up with no food, but you see in the kingdom, we don't sweat the small stuff. When My enemies came to kill Me one day, they wanted to throw Me off a cliff, I walked right through the middle of them and they couldn't even see Me. I said, couldn't see Me, not didn't see Me.

Unless you are able to disconnect from the natural way of doing things, you will not be able to move to the supernatural. When you are weighted down with worry about the future, your connection to the natural is still in tact. 

You are now in a time when money will no longer meet the need. If you stay connected to the natural where all things are answered by money as it becomes scarce or worthless you will have good reason to worry. Jumping from one kingdom to another is not possible, it's a learning process. If you hurry up and join Me in the secret place, I will give you private lessons. 

Your schedule will have to change. You will need to give up all your entertainment time and your fun and games, because you will need to cram a three year course into a few months. It took My disciples three years, as full time students, and then there were only 120 in the first graduating class. However if you already have My Holy Spirit, you have a great advantage. 

Do not discuss this school with your religious friends in the natural world, they will scorn you to shame and you will drop out and return to a worry wart, begging for bread. At this moment, this all may seem unnecessary, because the natural is still enough, but it won't be in the weeks to come. 

I would so much rather you come to the secret place because your in love with Me, but if entertainment is winning your heart right now, at least you will know where to come when the natural fails. 

Picture yourself getting into a canoe, as long as you are only half in, everything is shaky, but as you disconnect from land and are fully seated, things become calm. Thus it is, moving from the earthly kingdom to My kingdom. 

We do everything different here, there is no sweat involved in the day to day operations, only faith, obedience and love. Begin to disconnect now and come into the secret place for a crash course in kingdom living. Your friends and family who are going into panic mode, will be so glad you did when you pass out the burgers in a picnic mode.

Matthew 17:24-27 (AMP)
When they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the half shekel the temple tax went up to Peter and said, Does not your Teacher pay the half shekel? [25] He answered, Yes. And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him about it first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly rulers collect duties or tribute--from their own sons or from others not of their own family? [26] And when Peter said, From other people not of their own family, Jesus said to him, Then the sons are exempt. [27] However, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble that is, to cause them to judge unfavorably and unjustly go down to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find there a shekel. Take it and give it to them to pay the temple tax for Me and for yourself.

Matthew 14:17-18,21 (AMP)
They said to Him, We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish. [18] He said, Bring them here to Me. [21] And those who ate were about 5,000 men, not including women and children.

Luke 1:35-37 (AMP)
Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you like a shining cloud; and so the holy (pure, sinless) Thing (Offspring) which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God. [36] And listen! Your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is now the sixth month with her who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.

Psalm 91:1 (AMP)
HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty Whose power no foe can withstand.

Hebrews 11:1-40 (AMP)
NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses. [2] For by faith--trust and holy fervor born of faith the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. [3] By faith we understand that the worlds during the successive ages were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. [4] Prompted, actuated by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous that he was upright and in right standing with God, and God bore witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet through the incident he is still speaking. [5] Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony still on record that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him out. [7] Prompted by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this his faith which relied on God he passed judgment and sentence on the world''s unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness (that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith). [8] Urged on by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go. [9] Prompted by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise of God, though he was like a stranger in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise. [10] For he was waiting expectantly and confidently looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God. [11] Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered God Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word. [12] So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore. [13] These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of God''s promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth. [14] Now those people who talk as they did show plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country). [15] If they had been thinking with homesick remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it. [16] But the truth is that they were yearning for and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God even to be surnamed their God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for He has prepared a city for them. [17] By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test while the testing of his faith was still in progress, had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had gladly received and welcomed God''s promises was ready to sacrifice his only son, [18] Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned. [19] For he reasoned that God was able to raise him up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead potentially sacrificed, he did actually receive him back from the dead. [20] With eyes of faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau. [21] Prompted by faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph''s sons and bowed in prayer over the top of his staff. [22] Actuated by faith Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to the promise of God for the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his own bones. [23] Prompted by faith Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed and terrified by the king''s decree. [24] Aroused by faith Moses, when he had grown to maturity and become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh''s daughter, [25] Because he preferred to share the oppression suffer the hardships and bear the shame of the people of God rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life. [26] He considered the contempt and abuse and shame borne for the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense). [27] Motivated by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible. [28] By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood on the doorposts, so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those of the children of Israel. [29] Urged on by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as though on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up by the sea. [30] Because of faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days by the Israelites. [31] Prompted by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace without enmity. [32] And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] Who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [34] Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [35] Some women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their faith, so that they might be resurrected to a better life. I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37. [36] Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; while they were alive they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated-- [38] Men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. [39] And all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, [40] Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them.
