God Wants to Open Up Resources

September 21, 2013 - From The Den:

[God] started dealing with me about the blessings that are supposed to be on the people of God – people that serve Him, people that give, people that do good. There's supposed to be a blessing.

So, I began to pray for different things, and while I was in the garden, I was speaking to someone about building an altar there so that I can bring all the prayer requests to a literal altar as well, and then I heard this in my mind: He said, "I want you to tell all the businessmen and businesswomen, all the business people, that you are going to dedicate a specific day to pray for their businesses."

I saw it developing and I began to pray. I saw young people become entrepreneurs, and they're going to make millions and billions of dollars that are set aside for them. You see, God sets times and seasons aside for certain things.

When I was in the garden, I was catching a glimpse of this season where God wants to really raise up businesses for people that want to start businesses and people that are in businesses now that are drying up (in other words, you're not doing very well). 

There's another business for you. There's something new – a new opportunity, a new door that has opened up for you.

I heard all this and thought, "What do you want me to do about it?" He said, "The first thing you've got to do is enlighten them, because there are a lot of people that are discouraged."

There are a lot of people that have lost out so much, they think it'll never be retrieved and that it's impossible for God to ever restore them. But what you're doing is, you're looking to the same source. In other words, if you sell shoes, you're trying to sell more shoes, and the shoes are not selling. What you're trying to do is beat that dead horse when there might be something else.

God wants to open up resources. 

All He needs are a few people that are prepared to start digging for wells. That's when it happened in Isaac's time; there were wells that were stopped up that belonged to him by inheritance, but by occupation the enemy had them. 

In other words, the wells that Abraham had dug were Isaac's as an inheritance, but he didn't occupy the territory; therefore, even though it was his inheritance, by occupation they (the enemy) controlled the wells. 

That's happened in America; that's happened all over the world. Those who take occupation of a region or of a soil – they have the power. That's what's happened with the oil.

So what did God begin to do? He did exactly the same thing. He said, "Stop looking to OPEC, stop looking to the Middle East, and wherever." He said, "I'm going to give you a new source of energy; I'm going to give you new resources," and people found it difficult to believe. 

They found it difficult to believe because what we do is we focus on that which we are familiar with. I want you to take your eyes off that which you are familiar with.

Don't Give Up; I Hear the Sound of the Abundance of Rain

Elijah must have gotten insecure, and God said, "Elijah, go to Zarephath, and from Zarephath, after you have been fed, I'm going to take you to a mountain and I'm going to give you an abundance." It took diligence on Elijah's part. It took Elijah getting on the mountain and saying to his servant, "I want you to go and look for that little cloud."

The man went once – nothing; then twice.

You know what the problem with us is? We give up too easily because we heard a word and we don't see it manifested.

He said, "Go look," a third time; the man went looking for a cloud somewhere on Mt. Carmel, looking at the sky. They hadn't had rain for three and a half years. He came back again and said, "Nothing." Elijah didn't stop and say, "My God, what's happening?" He said, "Go back, for that which you have never seen shall be seen today." 

He didn't attempt to run back to the brook. He didn't attempt to run back to Zarephath. He said, "I want you to look ahead, because there's got to be a cloud in the sky because rain is coming."

You know why? He said, "Because I can hear an abundance of rain."

He didn't say he could hear a little bit. He didn't say he heard a drizzle. He said, "I hear the sound of an abundance of rain."

So he goes a fifth time; he goes a sixth time, then goes back to Elijah and says, "I tried, but nothing. What must I do?" Elijah says, "We've tried six, but I hear the sound of abundance."

How many of you hear the sound of abundance? And yet you've looked and there's nothing. Have you continued, have you pressed in? Have you continued giving and praying? Because that seventh moment is upon us. 

That seventh moment is upon many, many businesses all over the world, and many of you watching me that don't have businesses – that moment is upon you now. If I've heard it, you've got to see it before you can get it.

I prophesy to every one of you now that there is a realm of craziness, and there's a word God has for you at this very minute to get this to happen.

If for Jacob, why not us? If He could do it for Jacob, why not us? If He could do it for Isaac, why not us?

You might say, "The New Testament tells us we're supposed to be poor." Who told you that? It says that Jesus became poor that we might become rich in our souls, in our spirits, in our bodies, and in our families, relationships, and our businesses.

We are a people that are going to make a difference in the world today. 

There's the word from God. "...and today My word to you is let go and open your eyes, for today I will open doors and bring prosperity to your businesses, to your industry, to your ministry, to your artistry. Today, shake off that which you have held onto, for I open a brand new door for you," says the Lord.

This is what I'm hearing: "There are people that have stepped out before and it hasn't worked, so you're afraid." God says, "Don't fear. Don't fear, because I watched you as you took the step of faith. 

Today I'll honor that faith, so take a step out of the boat and say, 'Why not us?! Why not us?! Why not us?! If Moses could prosper, why not us? If David could prosper, why not us?! If Abraham could prosper, why not us? Why not us?! Why not us?!'"

[RUDDICK SHIELD] INTERIM REPORT - INDONESIA - Morris Ruddick

September 2, 2013

Dear Steve, 

Thank you for praying. Every prayer has been vital. The spiritual warfare has been beyond the ordinary; but so have the opportunities. The Lord has truly exceeded our expectations at every step.

A day after our arrival, we were conducting our first workshop on a Tuesday evening. It was organized as a "by-invitation only" gathering of business owners, entrepreneurs,

leaders and potential business owners from a wide mix of churches. Our host wrote the host on the second island we're leaving for today.

So after the first night of this downtown Jarkarta workshop, our host wrote: "There is very thick anointing. No one is going home. We have 300 people here, many successful business owners."

After the second night, he wrote: "Ruddick is amazing. Everyone returned, eager for more and there are more than 300 tonight. In his very first trip to Jakarta, he is bringing meat (not milk) and the Indonesia audience is eating with an appetite. Ruddick is methodical, meticulous and very well organized ....and speaks with a captivating intensity that keeps people in their seats during the entire four hour session. No one leaves."

On Thursday we spent a very long and packed-out day ministering first to the leaders of CBN Indonesia. These leaders and their director play a major, cohesive role in the incredible dynamic underway within the mobilized, dynamic church in Indonesia. Then following a luncheon meeting with the Director and the ministry's chief spiritual advisor, there was in-depth ministry to the core group of intercessors behind this vibrant ministry. That evening I brought a message of exhortation to a group of local pastors.

On Friday we traveled to the beautiful mountain city of Bandung for the second God's economy workshop. I'd already been impressed by the expansive network of committed business people tied to everything we've been doing. Our stop for a meal at a unique restaurant was one of seven restaurants owned by a sold-out man of God putting his faith into practice.

The second workshop was a multi-church mix of business owners and entrepreneurs. It was hosted by a very large fellowship that specializes in their people playing key roles in the city's community activities. Bandung is one of the most heavily populated and strongly-influenced Muslim cities on this island. Yet, it is that very fact that makes it a seedbed for opportunity.

Sunday brought us back to Jakarta where I brought the message to two hungry and very eager downtown congregations. The theme of both messages was the process and the cost of spiritual maturity needed to change a city and to change a nation. With that goal in mind, I was reminded of a company which we had association with in the 1970s which was the result of a $10 million business acquiring a $90 million firm. The Wall Street Journal likened it to a minnow swallowing a whale.

So it is in the Kingdom that God uses the most unlikely candidates; as He gives them the most unlikely strategies; to then bring about the most unlikely results. Ten years after the minnow swallowing the whale acquisition, the company had grown to be a $1 billion. That was really big in 1977.

The pastor who hosted our first workshop very much fits the model of the minnow swallowing the whale. God led him to move his church to a central, downtown location. In this Muslim nation, churches don't build buildings like in the West. They have to be more discrete and more often than not, they locate in commercial areas.

Having heard from God, this pastor signed the contract to purchase a floor in a high-rise office building. As the deadline approached and the money required only partially materialized, he sold his home to pay off the difference. Then in building out the space, the same thing happened and he sold his car to meet the obligations.

These are the type of people I relish working with. Let me explain that more fully. Many years ago, during a very challenging time in our walk with the Lord, I arrived at 6:30 one morning for a men's prayer group in the conference room of an Omaha business. There was special speaker, a very prophetic man-of-God. We had never met.

When this man of God began his time of ministry he pointed to me and said: "That is a man of God. That's what the Lord spoke to me when I saw him walk through the door." Then he spoke directly to me: "You sir, have a spirit of prosperity on you. You might be a millionaire or you might be broke." The reality was that I had just lost my job and was "in the hole" financially. He continued with the words: "Prosperity has nothing to do with money. A spirit of prosperity comes from the heart and it will overflow into those around you."

Over the years, we've watched as again and again, the Lord has uniquely blessed those he has sent us to minister to. The Lord called me as a consultant. It carries a strong

 

prophetic gift that I've seen in instance after instance to operate far beyond my understanding. I've been involved at the helm in a number of corporate turnarounds. I've been involved at the start of the launch of numerous initiatives and new ministries.

So it has been that this dynamic has extended into the nations in which we've been sent; as the Lord has connected us with those who are at a stage of turning/ of transition in walking out His blueprint for their mantles. There's no earthly way I can explain it, but we've seen the result and we've seen the change as we have played small roles in speaking into and establishing God's order in these divinely appointed relationships.

So it is that we see this same expectation in operation as we plant our gift among these most incredible leaders and pioneers that we're serving here in Indonesia. The Indonesians are amazing!

We are only at mid-course for what we came to Indonesia to do. We still have before us more than another week; and another workshop, key leaders to minister to, two mini-workshops in the Myles Munroe Kingdom Leadership Conference and ministry in a very pivotal church. Please continue praying. Your prayers and the anointing are what counter the spiritual forces trying to undermine these efforts. These are strategic times and these are strategic opportunities. Thank you, thank you for praying.

In His love and mine,
