GOD IS SAYING TO YOU, “I WILL DO GREAT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!”
Brazil is not the same because of Morris Cerullo and we are so grateful for his prophetic voice.
About 25 years ago, I attended a Morris Cerullo leaders’ conference in Rio de Janeiro. I didn’t know very many people. It was a breakfast, and I sat at the very back in a little corner.
All of a sudden, I heard, “You! Skinny man with the beard!” I was shaking. “Stand up! God is saying to you today, He’s going to raise up your life and your ministry in this country to do great things in this city. You’re going to bring a revolution to Rio and to Brazil.
You will be known. Your ministry will grow. God’s going to use your ministry in a great way in Brazil.”
We now have churches all over Brazil and around the world. One prophetic Word from the man of God can take you to where God wants you to be when you grab hold of it and BELIEVE!
Declare this out loud, “This is my time. God is speaking to me.”
Thirty years ago, this man of God prophesied that Brazil would bring forth the harvest of the world. Today, God has done great things in Rio. I praise God for Dr. Morris Cerullo and the Word that he gave me.
THE LORD IS WITH YOU TO DO MIGHTY EXPLOITS!
Now, from the life of Gideon, I’m going to share with you a prophetic Word that will release the miraculous upon you and take you from being the least person in your family, like Gideon, to being mightily used by God.
The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
“Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his miracles which our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” Judges 6:11-13 (NIV)
This passage is very powerful. Gideon’s life teaches us a lot. In Chapter 6, Israel had become crippled with fear. They were living in holes and fortified places, and they were hiding because of the Midianites. We can hide, but not from the devil. The Midianites were coming into the land, and they were taking everything Israel was sowing. They did not leave any provision in Israel.
God had turned Israel over to the hand of the Midianites for seven years. At that time, Israel cried out to God and God sent an angel. The angel said to Gideon, “The Lord is with you, valiant warrior. The Lord is with you, valiant man.”
If the Lord is with us, we can be anything. If the Lord is with you, you can be strong; you can be filled with courage, anointed, and powerful for this time.”
God’s Powerful Breakthrough Is Coming to YOU!
But Gideon said, “If the Lord is with me, why have all of these things happened to us?” And what has become of the wonders and the miracles that our fathers told us about?”
Gideon asked the angel, “Where is the all powerful God of the Bible?” I’m telling you right now, God is here with you! You have not seen the greatest miracles that are arriving.
God told Gideon, “I am with you! You will strike down the Midianites as if they were one man only.” Gideon replied, “Me?” God answered him, “Yes, you!” But Gideon said. “I’m the least one and my house is very small. If I have found mercy before you, I ask you for a sign. Don’t leave here until I come back with my offering.”
Gideon went to prepare his offering, which was something great—an ephah of flour, twenty-three quarts of cereal. He offered from that which the devil and the Midianites were stealing from his country, Israel. He offered from that which he defended so that the Midianites would not take it. He gave a sacrificial offering.
MY CHURCH GAVE SACRIFICIALLY FOR THE MORRIS CERULLO LEGACY CENTER!
When Dr. Morris Cerullo was in Rio preaching, I found out someone gave an offering for $25,000 U.S. for the Morris Cerullo Legacy Training Center. God spoke to me. “Get in that offering.”
We came in as a church. And he told us how Dr. Cerullo been given that land, that it just came into his hands. So we responded to the challenge of that offering—it was a sacrifice—$25,000 U.S. for the Legacy Center, so we could receive what Dr. Cerullo had.
A TWENTY YEAR DREAM COME TRUE!
A few months went by. I had a dream for 20 years to build a big church on a large piece of land. Our church holds 3,000 people. But I wanted to build a place for needy children and those recovering from drugs. Each day, the land was getting more and more expensive, and it was in US dollars. Every day that went by, I’d say, “Oh Lord!”
Then, there was a financial crisis in Brazil. The government began to sell some properties. I learned about a big piece of land in an excellent place in Rio. We could build everything that we wanted!
We bid for that property, and the price was a third of what it should normally be. I said, “Lord, it happened in Dr. Cerullo’s life. It’s got to happen in mine too.” I was shaking. And you know what happened? Two months later, the day came, letters went out, and they called us.
“That land is yours!” Hallelujah!
An offering can bring the supernatural Presence of God and victorious breakthrough. The spiritual realm is very real and I want to leave you with a challenge. Open your heart and give an offering, then wait and see what will happen in your life.
Gideon gave the offering that God required, and things began to happen. God told Gideon, “Call the people.” And so he sounded the trumpet. And the people came together—32,000. But God said, “Gideon, you’ve got too many men. They’re going to have the victory and they will say it was from their arm. And so tell the people that all those who are timid and frightened, ‘timid and frightened, you can go home.’” That day the army was reduced to 300 warriors who were fully committed to the Lord and to Gideon.
But when the 300 fully committed believers raised up the torch, and they began to sound the trumpet, the Spirit of the Lord came in the enemy’s camp. The enemies began to be confused, and they began to kill one another. One hundred thirty-five thousand of the enemies’ men started killing each other in confusion. And what were God’s people doing? They sounded the trumpet with the torch lit.
NOW IS YOUR MOMENT TO OVERCOME YOUR CRISIS!
When you give your breakthrough offering today, I believe you are going to overcome your spiritual enemies.
You are going to overcome the demons that have been raised up against you and against your house, against your ministry, against your church, and against your family. You will overcome them with a fire of the Spirit and with the Word of God in your mouth.
As I am here praying for the Partners of World Evangelism, I’m seeing people leaving here, being raised up. People going back to their countries, going back to their nations with fire—lit fire!
God showed me that you will move out with fire on your head, with the Word in your mouth. The best time of your life is coming. God has separated you for your calling, to raise up your church, to raise up your ministry. Do what Gideon did. Give God your best, sacrificial offering.
Gideon’s offering in the middle of his crisis changed his future. God gave him an incredible miracle of deliverance and prosperity.
When I gave a huge offering for our ministry to the Legacy Center, God blessed us so abundantly with a piece of land. Now, I am so thankful to God for connecting me with this powerful, Proof Producing ministry of World Evangelism.
Your greatest days are ahead of you. When you give to this Legacy Center ministry, I believe the same FAVOR, BLESSING, BREAKTHROUGH and financial anointing is going to come upon your life.
