“ God Has Seen Your Future and it is Good”

ICE BREAKER: A motorist tried in vain to find a parking spot. He stuck this note under his windscreen wiper, “I’ve been circling for fifteen minutes and if I don’t park here I will miss a very important meeting. Forgive our trespasses”. On returning to his car he found a note pinned to a parking ticket that said. “I’ve been circling this block for fifteen years. If I don’t give you a ticket I could be fired……Lead us NOT into temptation”.

If we could know the future would it change how we act in the present? [Allow a few minutes for feedback]

God Has Seen Your Future And It Is Good!

READ: Isaiah: 54v2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.

CLARIFY: Back in 2002 Pastor Joseph Prince had a word from the Lord to speak over his congregation which was this: “I your God have gone ahead of you and I have already been to your future. I have seen it. And I declare that it is good.” Although this word was given to me for our church, I believe that it is not only for our church, but also for every member of the Body of Christ.”

I agree with Pastor Joseph, and when God declares your future good, it WILL be filled with many wonderful GOOD days!

The question is; what do you do when the Lord tells you that you are going to have a good future loaded with His blessings? [Allow a few minutes for feedback]

CLARIFY: You prepare for it! In other words, before the blessings come, before the increase comes, He wants you to enlarge the place of your tent and stretch forth the curtains of your dwellings

QUESTION: What do you think this verse means? [Allow a few minutes for feedback]

CLARIFY: What For example, if you are believing God for a child, start reading books on babies and preparing the baby’s room. In fact, prepare to have more than one child. In other words, start looking for a bigger place for your family for God says, “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.” Get ready for expansion!

READ: Isaiah: 54v3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.

CLARIFY: My friend, God wants you to get ready, and expect such favor and increase in the days ahead that “you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited”. Because God has declared your future good, know that you stand on favor ground today.

Expect good things to happen to you. Expect to see the favor of God on you and your family. Expect the blessings and increase of the Lord. Expect many good days to show up in your life!

Brother Hagin: “Faith acts as if it has the answer already”.

READ: Isaiah: 54v4-3 Verse 4 "Do not fear , for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. Verse 5 For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.

CONCLUSION: Our Heavenly Father wants us to move in obedience to His will, submitting to HIS word and as we do He will always undergird us with

Our Heavenly Father would NEVER tell us to do something and NOT provide, NOT anoint, NOT direct because He is our Maker, our husband, The Lord of Hosts is His name’ And your redeemer IS the Holy One of Israel: He IS called the God of the WHOLE earth!
