“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”. Isaiah 55:11

Have you ever had someone to promise you something but later broke their promise? Have you ever told someone something in CONFIDENCE but learned that everybody and their momma knew your business? ONE thing I’ve learned is when GOD says something it SHALL come to past. Anytime you see the word “shall in the bible”, KNOW it’s the strongest word in the GREEK LANGUAGE which means..”without a doubt it will happen”. So what happens between the time GOD speaks and it comes to past? There’s something called the PROCESS…this is where GOD is waiting for our FAITH to hook up to what He’s spoken. See when GOD speaks a word it leaves ETERNITY and filters through the atmosphere waiting for the recipient of the word to grab hold to it. NOW…..while the word is filtering from ETERNITY to TIME, the enemy wants to destroy the PROMISE…the enemy plants seeds of doubt in our mind by sending “smoke screens” to make us feel GOD is NOT going to fulfill His word. Example..you are praying for your son to be saved and GOD spoke to you and said that young man will not only be saved but he’s going to preach the gospel. NOW THAT’S THE WORD and you’re waiting for it to come to past. But in the process the devil comes in and your son begin to sell drugs (smoke screen), constantly in trouble with the law (smoke screen) he refuses to finish his high school education (smoke screen) he doesn’t want to work (smoke screen)….and the lists goes on. So now….your faith is weakened because you have been moved by what you see BUT let me ask you this…WHEN DID GOD CHANGE HIS MIND? See when GOD speaks something, regardless of what the devil does, GOD has NOT changed his mind. When did GOD say He wasn’t going to do it? Oh yea, five years have passed since he spoke it, but if GOD didn’t come back and say…”I changed my mind, I can’t do it’…then don’t change your mind about receiving the promise. HEY SHOUT GLORY SOMEBODY!!!!!
Let me share this with you. Back in August the LORD called me to a two week sebatical with Him. Many of you know I serve as the Minister of Music at a local church in Portsmouth. Well the LORD released me from this ministry because “my season was up and He is taking me to another level in my Evangelistic Ministry”. I’ve been in the Ministry of Music for 27 years…yes ma’m….and the idea of not directing, ministering through praise and worship, not playing the keyboard was foreign to me. I’ve been doing it since I was 13 years old. The other battle I struggled with was the financial aspect. When GOD spoke it to me I immediately said…”GOD my lifestyle is based on that income…what am I going to do? After all, I’m a single parent (raising my niece) in and out of court for non-payment of child support…(don’t let me start speaking in tongues about that one) and now I’m going to lose money. My heart STOPPED (just keeping it real ya’ll). GOD immediately spoke…”I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, PEOPLE WILL PLANT SEEDS INTO YOUR MINISTRY, PEOPLE WILL BLESS YOUR MINISTRY, YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHING”. I was soon comforted. Well, the devil sent a “smoke screen”….I looked at it and begin to change my financial habits drastically. See I just had to help GOD out… oh yea, we’ve all been there ONE time or another!!! I had gotten to the point that I wouldn’t purchase anything for myself, after all I need to save this money because in January, things will change. I went as far as borrowing clothes (instead of purchasing my own), my shoes had gotten too big because of the weight loss, so I put tissue in the shoes. I decreased my food bill to $25.00 a month…which wasn’t hard because I don’t eat much anyway. But I had to PROVE to GOD that I was a good steward and I was NOT going to spend ANY MONEY on myself. Now my winter clothes from last year were a size 16/18 and I am now wearing a size 8/10….GO FIGURE!!!!
Even when I went into the store knowing I needed something the “spirit of fear” would grip my heart like you wouldn’t believe. The enemy would say…”you’re going to lose money so you better NOT buy that”……so I wouldn’t. I acted as if GOD was on welfare, standing in the “cheese line”, waiting for a “Hook up” from Social Services or something. I was preparing to “be broke”, “to live like a pauper”,….and GOD got tired of this foolishness….and as I sat at my desk last week, GOD spoke to me…”when did I say I wouldn’t do it for you?” God had an attitude ya’ll…. L I immediately REPENTED….God forgive me FOR NOT trusting you. Look at this, a woman with a PROPHECY over her head to PREACH NATIONALLY, but preaching with tissue in her shoes because she doesn’t trust GOD to provide for her. A woman of GOD who teaches STEWARDSHIP so hard that even the devil is tithing.. come on Hines…..now check this out..guess what my favorite praise song is? JEHOVAH JIREH…By Gary Oliver…”My GOD is more then enough HE shall supply all of my needs, HE is my EL SHADDAI he ALWAYS looks out for HINES..Jehovah Jireh, HE is my GOD”….. But yet you don’t believe GOD to PROVIDE!!!! Hmmmmm SAY HELP LAWD!!!!!
Well after I repented….I asked myself..”WHEN DID GOD CHANGE HIS MIND?” Did he come back to you and say..”Oh yea, Hines, I can’t hook you up in January, a brotha ain’t got no ends”…. Did GOD ever tell you He was NOT going to provide? So if He hasn’t changed His mind then why are you changing the plan for HIM? Well, I got myself together and pulled up that word in me and it was on. I let the devil know that the HOLY GHOST had peeped his game and I CALL MONEY FROM HEAVEN…..oh yes I did. I told the devil I had planted seeds of the word, money, my car, clothes, love, support, words of encouragement etc…and NOW it’s MY HARVEST TIME. I am NOT the first preacher who has had to leave a job and go forth in ministry and I won’t be the last. As a matter of fact, GOD will make the devil bless me. OH BLESS HIS NAME SOMEBODY. So this weekend, I bought a black suit, shoes, I needed some lingerie, a coat, some blouses and got my “nails and hair did”… all in the name of the LORD. I didn’t over do it, but I was prayerful and mindful…oh yea..I increased my tithes just to let the devil KNOW that I am not moved by his tactics!!!! How ya like me now devil!!!!
Sooooo before I get to preaching for real….what has GOD said to you that has not manifested? Go back, go back, go back..to when HE first spoke it, that same excitement you had…rekindle that because GOD HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND. I don’t care how many demons, emps, spiritual wickedness, principalities are coming against you. GODO SAID IT AND THAT SETTLES IT, whether you BELIEVE IT OR NOT !!!! Quickly….look at how BOLDLY Isaiah writes….”So shall my word be that goeth for out of my mouth”….meaning if GOD was bad enough to speak it, then he’s bad enough to back it up. Oh he’s not two-faced..say one thing behind your back but won’t repeat it in your face. It SHALL NOT…return unto me void.. when He speaks a word to us before it can return to ETERNITY it has to fulfill it’s purpose on EARTH but it SHALL (there’s that word again) ACCOMPLISH that which I please…hold up….which I please… meaning it’s GOD’S takes pleasure in blessing healing, delivering, setting us free ministering through us. AND it SHALL (there’s that word again) PROSPER..check it out.He said PROPSPER ..meaning to succeed, to achieve, to become strong and flourishing, to thrive….to make the devil out of the liar he is…. See the WORD is NOT just going to come but it has a GOAL to ACCOMPLISH…..to take root in your spirit and PROSPER that others may see the GLORY OF GOD….. now…this last part blessed me…..” shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”… TAKE A PRAISE BREAK SOMEBODY….So when He speaks in our lives, HE’S concise, on target, He Strategically set FORTH where He wants to bless. So when He said to me..”I’ll take care of you”……HE meant it!!! THAT SETTLES IT….
As I close, I say…whatever GOD has spoken in your life and you’re waiting for it come to past, don’t be moved by what you see and ask yourself…”WHEN DID GOD CHANGE HIS MIND ? Answer….HE DIDN’T…..so don’t you change your FAITH!!!!
