You Must Increase to Possess!
Just several weeks ago the Lord challenged me to revisit the word He gave me for 2010 as I was listening for the word of the Lord for 2011. This is a word that will help you ramp into 2011.
2010 is an interesting number sequence. Only 2, Caleb and Joshua had increased enough to take possession of the land by giving a good report. The other 10 gave an evil report that caused an entire generation to miss their blessing. And 0 is what they had in common, but they were all Israelites.
Evil reports have been abounding. What are we saying? Remember, it affects everyone listening and God holds us responsible. Evil reports, if we let them into our spirit, will block our ability to increase. Talking about the giants was not the evil report; not believing that God could give them the victory was. Over a million people rejoiced and danced as the dry ground which they walked over in the Red Sea buried the enemy. Yet only two increased enough to enter into the Promised Land.
The Lord spoke to me at the turn of the year: “You must increase to participate in what I have for you in this coming season.” The Lord had my full attention. Those words echoed through my spirit and mind. “You must increase.”
What He had prepared for me was my destiny. It was reserved for me. It was my time. It is greater than anything I have done to this time. Yet I was not ready to participate in it according to His word. That drove me deeper into prayer. Revelation came: Get rid of everything that brings decrease – mindsets concerning my destiny, anointing, purpose and abilities.
Step Out of Your History into His
As the Body of Christ we must increase in our spirit to enter into God’s plan for our lives. Egypt is not just a place of bondage and slavery; it is a place of confinement that makes the spirit of decrease acceptable and normal. The Great Depression affected my Grandmother’s generation. She would buy a large fresh banana bunch, yet eat the old bunch first. She would never run out since she always had two bunches. Very seldom did she enjoy the fresh bananas. She was living wisely for the season that no longer existed. As time passed by, it proved it was not only unnecessary, but hindering her full blessing in the new season which she had entered.
Then God reminded me of a word that came to me months before. I heard a large explosion, a dynamite blast. It was so loud it startled me! “God, why was it so loud?” I asked. “Because the sound of Hell has many stuck in the past,” He said. “I am blasting them into their future. They cannot get there on their own.” My mind went back to the upper room where God blasted 120 Believers into their future! They stepped out of their history, into His.
Exodus 23:30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.
God is unleashing something fresh from Heaven for you. Break out of your Great Depression of the past. It is a new season of provision and vision! God is blasting you into your future. His dream for you is greater than yours. Not one person in the Scriptures was mentally ready to step into what God told them, outside of Jesus. Each had to be blasted into their future, by His words and presence.
There Will Be Resistance, But Angelic Assistance Will Prevail!
Get ready to leave with the wealth of Egypt for your future! They received what had been robbed from their generations! There is a generational payback coming to those who will rise up and break the bondage. The giants are larger, and so are the victories! This is a time of increased difficulty, but the blessings are greater than ever! We are in one of the most strategic seasons. How we handle our strategic moments can determine decades for millions of people. Ten spies, whose names we do not remember, gave an evil report and stalled God’s plans for close to a million people.
Exodus 23:20 See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
There is a place God has prepared for you. God is sending angels to guard your journey. There will be resistance, but angelic assistance will prevail! It will take an angel to get you there.
The word given to the Israelites to increase was to prepare them to receive their Promised Land. They did not increase and they missed what God had prepared for them. We must increase to participate in what God has for us. The anointing for increase is on you. You must increase to possess what is yours! What is waiting for you is awesome!
The increase of men and women in the Bible ignited in encounters with God. They saw Him larger. They saw themselves larger in God. They believed what God said and acted on it. They went past their past. Increase! God needs you.
This is the season of the giants. Where are the Joshuas?
Key Strategies to Enter the Promised Land
1. Get rid of everything that causes spiritual decrease:
a. Fear.
b. Unbelief.
c. Doubt.
d. Break through the limitations that you have accepted.
2. Obedience/Discipline:
a. Every champion knows the work/discipline involved in victory.
3. Ask God to show you who you are in Him.
4. Ask God to show you what is your Promised Land.
5. Identify the giants. Identify yourself as a Joshua.
6. Get past the greatness of the past season and those who are no longer there to make it happen for you. Like Joshua, it is your turn.
7. Get past every dead issue and grief.
8. Believe what God has said about you and start acting on it NOW!
9. Keep His presence strong in your life.
10. Let the next breakthrough be a stepping stone, not a stopping place.
11. Plan as if you could not fail. Press the plan.
12. Pray with the expectation that you will receive.
13. Realize it is the Father’s pleasure to give you the Kingdom, and you’re part of it.
14. Be thankful for every step of the way and watch Him make a way where there is none.
15. Believe in the gifts and anointing God has placed in your life which will cause you to reach your destiny.
2011 will be a year of one-on-one supernatural encounters with God and revelations that bring us into a greater alignment with His vision and purpose. It comes as we are willing to increase!

AN OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON HOUSEHOLDS!
“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word…. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God” (Acts 10:44 and 46). This is speaking of the household of Cornelius.
Think of it, a private Pentecost falling upon an entire household with
everybody there lifted into the heavenlies. It was miraculous! The praises were thrilling as all the relatives and children were getting saved and filled with God’s Holy Spirit. All because one man set his heart to seek God until an answer came.
And here we sit, in the day of the outpoured Holy Ghost, with many homes where there is little or no evidence of his working and presence. Many of our Christian homes are now under the control of the spirit of the world rather than the Spirit of God. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is unity. Where he abides, there is rest and peace, unspeakable joy, and victory over the spirit of this world.
We need to take back the spiritual authority in our homes. If a Christian husband and wife are not in total unity, flowing together in the Spirit and love of Jesus, there is extreme danger ahead. One or both are not walking in the Spirit. When both are seeking God in private prayer and devotion to God, the Spirit works his wonders.
God is doing something new in the land right now. Something so powerful, so supernatural, it is terrorizing hell. The Holy Ghost has come to separate a people unto the Lord. Being successful is not nearly as important as hearing from God. To newly baptized saints, prospering means seeing Jesus in a new and living way. Houses, land, furniture, cars, clothes—all these things have lost their charm to a people now passionately in love with the Lord of glory. The Holy Ghost has come to reveal Christ as the Savior of homes—our homes!
I have seen into the spiritual world and I see demons fleeing. I see powers of darkness trembling because God’s true church, a once slumbering giant, has been provoked by the Holy Ghost to shake itself and rise up and claim its place of power and authority.
Entire families, entire churches, entire ministries are being turned upside down. God is saying, “Get serious about spiritual things and I will meet your every need!” The Father is doing great things all around the world and we can be a partaker of his mighty blessing.

It starts in the home. Families are the key! Teach them to listen to the Holy Spirit, walk in the spirit, and walk in love at home, and they will take it out to the world.
The Lord has been speaking to me.
These words have helped me tremendously. I hope they will help someone else, too.
Phil. 4:6 (I just can’t get away from this one!)
Be anxious for nothing, let your requests be made known with THANKSGIVING.
His PEACE which passes understanding will guard your hearts and minds.
James 1:2-4
Count it all joy…trying of your faith works PATIENCE.
Let PATIENCE have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing (shalom) (He’s perfecting us.)
Phil. 4:4
REJOICE always!
And the God of PEACE shall soon crush satan under your feet!!!
Rom. 16:20
He just dropped the last one into my spirit last night.
I love it when He talks to me.
Plain and simple, I know He loves me. And that’s all I need to know.
I will win!
I won this contest!!!!
Thank you to everyone who left a comment and voted in the poll. I get to donate a copy of the book to my local library. I’m very excited! I get a copy of “Life of Washington”, “Morning and Evening with Spurgeon” and a book of my choice from Master Books.
So I want to say a big thank you to Master Books and to Lynda Ackert at Christian Home School Hop and to all of you who helped me win!
If you want your children to know the true beliefs and values of the Founding Fathers, then this book is a must for your home library. If you have any doubt that we live in a nation that was founded on Christian principles, then just read some of the quotes in this book by the men who signed our Declaration of Independence. Marilyn Boyer did her homework when she researched this book. It is full of primary source material, including quotes, excerpts from letters and journals, and what their contemporaries said about the Signers.
This book is FULL of history! My family has studied this era of American History pretty thoroughly, but we got an even fuller picture of the risks, the uncertainty, the selflessness and sacrifice of the signers of the Declaration, as well as their admirable character and integrity.
Mrs. Boyer gives a brief synopsis of the life experiences that led each man to the position of leadership that placed the burden of this momentous decision on him.
Through these biographies, we get to know them as husbands and fathers as well as learning about the careers some set aside to do public service for their country. We see the relationships between some of them, and to me that fleshes out and helps me understand what each man was like. Their stories are connected by this pivotal moment in history, and this book helps us to see those connections.
One of my daughters said that it was a lot more interesting to read about the Signers in this book than in a dry textbook. Another daughter said that she had never heard of men like Matthew Thornton unless they happened to be mentioned in a book about Thomas Jefferson. She was glad to be able to learn more about the other men who contributed so much to the founding of our country. My one son said that he feels that it is very important for us to know how our country was started and who started it.
In our reading, we learned that one of the Signers kept his house open at all times to the homeless and fed the poor at his own table. My son was so impressed with Matthew Thornton that he considers him a saint. To learn more about this godly man, you should buy this book!
I even learned where the word “gerrymander” came from. I’ll give you a hint: it’s found on page 42.
The author provides a bio of each Signer, a timeline of their public service, quotes and interesting facts, a picture of each man and his home, and questions for discussion.
The information in the preface and the appendices is important for us to know as Christians as we teach our children the TRUE history of America.
It is difficult to find primary source documents with the words of the Signers in them. Marilyn Boyer has done us a great service in collecting them all in one place.
If you’re a history buff, you’ll love this book. If you only know what you were told in public school about our country’s history, you NEED to read this book. If you want your children to love history and to appreciate the caliber of the patriotic, Christian men who founded our nation, you will want to read this book to them or have it available for them to read.
If you buy the book, you will get access to a Family Activity Guide online that Marilyn has also written as a companion book. It includes coloring pages for the little ones and much more! You can find out how to get this companion book in the section titled “Suggestions for Using This Book”.

~~I received this book free from New Leaf Publishing Group in exchange for my honest review.
For those who enjoy a taste of history, here’s the scene from the HBO miniseries “John Adams” that portrays the drama and tension that surrounded the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
