God wants to bless you in 2023 (this is how) | biblical success secrets

Hey, good morning. Today I have something burning I felt the Lord put on my heart. And what I want to share is about a gift we've all been given, but that we drastically underestimate and the power of this gift to bless you in your entirety. Bless your whole life, bless your family, both spiritually, in your heart, in your finances. Bless everything. And this is straight from a passage that I felt, but it's also a convicting word that I feel the Lord is wanting to remind you to jumpstart things in this next season for you as we approach 2023. I believe God has some massive plans for you. Just based on you coming across this video. I don't believe there's any coincidence. I believe God has a massive plan for you. And I believe this word I'm about to share is at the core foundation of it all. I was reading in 2nd Samuel 6 where it's talking about the Ark of the Covenant and how David was transporting the Ark of God. And the Ark of the Covenant is originally was where God created the ten Commandments and gifted it to Moses and put in this box. And now it represents the presence of God. And in this passage you see all this commotion over the Ark of the Covenant just entering into this city. There was people rejoicing and it literally said that David and all of Israel were celebrating with all their might and over the Ark of the Covenant, over the Ark of God coming into town, all of Israel and David the king was. They were celebrating and dancing with all their might. And I mean it's talking about, you know, worship and musical instruments and everything. And then even someone who actually steps out of line in the transportation of it, God strikes them down dead right there. I mean, just all kinds of commotion. And then David gets scared because of that and he doesn't want it to come into his home and he puts it in another home. And what happens in Obed Edom's home? He put it there. He had the Ark of God sent to Obed Edom's home. And in there it says in that three months, God blessed him and his entire family. God blessed Odom, Edom and their entire family. I mean everybody. And then all of a sudden that's where you see the famous passage where David was like, oh my goodness, you know, and he takes, he transports it and he has all these sacrifices done, has all this stuff happening. And as he's transporting it, he's dancing in the streets almost naked. Like he's in servants clothes or whatever. And, and it is super undignified and it just causes all this commotion all over, the transportation of the ark of God. And the Lord said to me, that is a representation of his presence. And this morning, I felt the Lord say to me, what are you doing with my presence? What are you doing with my presence? Because the ark of God caused all this commotion. Someone died for it because they stepped a little bit out of. You know, and maybe it was a lot out of line. I don't know. You can look at the context for yourself, but someone died. You know, David is. And all of Israel is dancing with all their might because they're worthy of bringing the presence of bringing the ark of God into the town. And this represents the presence of God, which when Jesus came and died on the cross, he allowed us to have free, free access to the real presence of God. And you think about Moses going and talking with God face to face and all these things. But today, we, the church, have the most precious gift, the most powerful gift, the most effective gift in anything we could ever endeavor into, right in our lapse. And I felt the Lord say, you want all these different things, but what are you doing with my presence? How are you stewarding my presence? What is it? What, What. What are you doing with my presence? And I would just say that to you right now. I believe the presence of God is bringing joy. Like you see here in this passage. It's bringing blessings financially. It's bringing. God is not scared to bless you financially. He wants to bless you financially. I think in the church, we're so scared to talk about finances and blessings, about us wanting blessings. But if you look in Psalms, it literally talks about asking God to bless you. Bless us, God. And I mean, all throughout the word of God, it talks about finances. Now, we are not to chase riches. But even past that, this passage is talking about so much more than that. But if whatever it is you're thinking about, whatever it is that you are going after right now, I want to encourage you. Right now, the number one thing you want to focus on is stewarding the presence of God. Because where the presence of God lives and is stewarded, you will see blessing, you will see fruit, you will see the effects of his presence. What are the effects of his presence? No one has lack. What are the effects of his presence? There's joy, there's peace, there's love, there's healing, there's. What are the effects? What's in heaven? The presence of God is most tangible. It's most potent in the kingdom of heaven. So what is in heaven? And God says, bring heaven to earth. So, anyway, I hope this word touches you today because I, you know, as much as I talk on different subjects, you know, on. I preach it, you know, different places, I'm buying apartments and real estate, and God's called me to steward businesses as well as ministries and helping people just in a ministry form. I believe that, you know, core to all of it is stewarding the presence of God. And right here you see what happens in the presence of God when someone and people step out of line and do not use it. That's the worst possible thing you can possibly do. Misuse or underestimate how powerful the presence of God is, because you go and you miss all that God has for your life. And so both, whether it's in business, whether it's in your finances, whether it's in your spiritual growth, whether it's in, you know, your relational growth, relational issues, whether it's emotional issues, whatever it may be. If I have one message to the world, and this is something, again, I said, God's burned it on my heart this morning, but this has been something that I've been feeling. And he just kind of came in and shook me again and said, focus on what I've called you to. And that is the message of the presence of God. The spirit of God is the solution, and it is the most effective strategy. And you say, what strategy? To everything on the planet. And you say, what strategy? It's the strategy of listening to the Lord and being exactly where he's called you to be. And I'm telling you, if you steward the presence, if you listen to him, if you dive into that worship, that place of worship, if you really say your presence is. Is my core focus, seek first the kingdom of God. You will find that you will remain in the place he's called you to be, and he will supernaturally bless you in so many other ways. I'm telling you, like, God has literally put real estate properties in our lap, gifted us real estate properties. He has put businesses in our lap. He has multiplied the businesses that he's called us to. And it's absolutely. I mean, I love to learn. I love to, you know, grow in wisdom of how to handle business and real estate. And I feel like I've grown a lot. But the blessings that He. He didn't wait for me to figure it all out. He blessed me despite my ignorance. So I hope that helps you today. God will do it. And I just pray over you right now that there would be outra blessings in your finances in your in your love for for each other and the the lost and your spiritual growth and your family's growth and you're in peace and enjoy that. There would be blessings over you in Jesus name. I hope that blesses you all and I look forward to hearing how that helps. So God bless.
