Chapter Seventy-Six: A Watchman's Vision of End Time Survival Kit

A dream came to the watchman in vivid details which he could remember clearly when he woke. It is about end time survival for God’s children.
Indeed he has thought about this matter previously. He thought of finding a piece of land on high ground which can be cultivated for self-subsistence. But he is no farmer, or even gardener. He has one pet dog and that is all he knows about keeping animals. He cannot do carpentry, mud shelter construction, handle heavy manual hand tools, not even basic plumping. He has never done a hard day’s manual labor before. When he realized the need for manual labor practice, he thought it better to put the idea (or vision) aside.
But this dream is a different sort. It has opened his spiritual eyes and mind. It tells him how wrong he has been all this while thinking of surviving end time using mere physical resources and skills. He woke knowing that this is what the Bible has been teaching him all this while!
In the dream, an organization controls all goods and services. Every one with a chip implant can buy whatever supplies they require. There is constant surveillance on all economic and social activities.
A man without a chip implant has no legal identity and social right and cannot access any of the world supplies. How can one survive without such access? For the followers of Jesus, survival is ‘outside the camp’ as they choose to identify with Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:13)!
On waking he was led to search the Bible for the way out  and found this: Put on the full armor of God: “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all these, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the fiery arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:14-18)
There are three important components in this full armor for all Bible believing Christians who have believed and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord (and thus have the helmet of Salvation, breastplate of Righteousness and gospel of Peace): The Holy Spirit, the Word of God and Faith. Praying in the Spirit is the essential operational tool for working in the spiritual realm.
Living in the Spirit is not optional for Christians.
It is compulsory. Without living in the Spirit you would not be able to rise above the physical elements and live outside the camp. Jesus and His disciples had demonstrated this truth. The Apostle Paul has written on this at great length and clarity. You already have the supernatural power in you to live accordingly. Read this following important truth:
Read 1 Corinthians Chapter two. God has revealed His mystery to us by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. We have received the Spirit of God and understand what God has freely given us. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment. We have the mind of Christ.
How to live by the Spirit? Read the Bible and believe every word of God by faith and act on them. Seek God diligently daily in worship, prayers and His word. Pray in the Spirit as often as the Spirit leads you. Practice by faith praying in the Spirit. Receive power from the Holy Spirit by faith as a son of God. The Holy Spirit will come and help you when you ask.
Some of the practical living examples are: believe in divine healing and divine health. Proclaim God’s word by faith on all aspects of life. Take up your legal authority as a son of God and use the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth by faith. Cast out your unbelief (worldliness). Align your desire with the will of God. Fast and pray to subject your body and soul (mind and emotion) to the control of your spirit (which is to be led by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ Himself)!
For those who fear hunger, here is another verse of truth to dispel your doubt as to how your physical food will come.By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” (Hebrews 11:3) This makes sense as who can see a small atom?
For those who think they can wait till the last minute to practice divine living, the watchman’s advice (through personal experience) is you really need a lot of practice to let the faith in you come forth. For example, you need to practice praying the word of God by faith now, believing in the power of the name of Jesus Christ and take authority over the headache instead of reaching for the painkillers. You need to build up the faith practice until you can take authority over more serious chronic diseases. You will find that you save a lot of money and worries that way (even if end time does not come during your lifetime)!
Another reminder is to memorize the word of God. You would not have a Bible ready for you at end time. The word of God in your heart must rise as resources (materials) for the Holy Spirit to bring forth produce that you need in the physical world.
Remember: Faith + the Word of God + the Holy Spirit + Practice living by faith in the Spirit = keys to your survival.

Chapter Seventy-five: A watchman's prophetic acts


Often Jack has found that the things he is required to do are insignificant and at times foolish in others' eyes. When he read the Bible he found that many faithful watchmen were asked to do ridiculous acts. He lists some of the more prominent ones as follows:
Noah was asked to build an ark on dry land based on God's specifications for his family and two of every sort of living things (possibly becoming the greatest laughing stock among the inhabitants of that land then). (Genesis 6-7)
Moses was asked to lift up his rod and stretch out his hand over the Red Sea in front of at least two millions of panicky people under death threat by the powerful enemy army close at their heels. (Exodus 14)
Joshua was asked to march daily once around the Jericho city walls  for six consecutive days, with seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark silently in front of his entire armies , and on the seventh day march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. (Joshua 6)
Samuel gathered all Israel to Mizpah, drew water and poured it out before the Lord, then took a suckling lamb and offered to the Lord as a whole burnt offering, while their arch enemies the Philistines armies drew near to battle against Israel. (1 Samuel 7)
When three nations' armies came to battle against Judah, King Jehoshaphat led his people to worship the Lord and the Levites praised the Lord with loud voices. On the day of the battle, Jehoshaphat appointed those who should sing to the Lord and those who should praise the beauty of holiness to go out before the army saying, "Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever." (2 Chronicles 20)
Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water of the River Jordan. (2 Kings 2:8)
Elisha cut off a stick, and threw it into the River Jordan where the axe head had fallen into. (2 Kings 6:6)
Naaman, commander of the army of the King of Syria, dipped seven times in the River Jordan, at the instruction of Elisha the prophet. (2 Kings 5:14)

What happened when men did the foolish things in obedience to their callings by God? God acted and performed the great things. God sent the great flood, rid the land of evil and gave Noah and his family a fresh new life as promised. Moses and his two million people saw the Red Sea parted and they were delivered from the Egyptians. The tall and mighty walls of Jericho fell down flat and Joshua captured the city without fighting. Samuel and his armies saw the defeat of their enemy armies. God thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel. When King Jehosaphat's men began to sing and praise God, the Lord sent ambushes and defeated their enemies.  Of course the River Jordan parted and even iron axe head swam to the surface! Namaan, an alien leper, who chose to obey the watchman/prophet, was instantly healed after the seventh dip.

1 Corinthians 2:13-14 "These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man (the man without the Spirit) does not receive (accept) the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned". v16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ."

Unless a man stops trying to reason the things of God with his mind, he will not see a miracle. This is called unbelief. Unbelief cancels out faith. Faith rests in our spirits. Let your spirit man rise up and you will see miracles! Jack has taken a long time to accept this truth. Now he knows the truth and the truth has set him free just as Jesus has promised! (John 8:32)

A watchman has to see with his spirit and not his mind, to reach God's rich supernatural resources. The Holy Spirit provides the way to such vision.

Chapter Seventy-four: The Holy Spirit confirms the same message twice


What Jack has learned since his journey in the Holy Spirit is that the Holy Spirit responds to our prayers quickly and very often immediately. however, it takes us sometime to receive and respond accordingly. It is therefore our receivers that need fixing and not the transmission from God the Holy Spirit. Jack sometimes wishes that there is a shortcut for him to listen to the Holy Spirit.
However, the more he seeks God the more he enjoys the seeking process. It has been a wonderful and often awesome journey for him in the Holy Spirit. So a short cut would have been a waste.
During the last week he has been seeking God more intensely as led by the Holy Spirit. The advance intercessors conference has opened his inner eyes further and he can sense the urgency of the time. He feels like a man racing on a fast moving train going somewhere. He must race against time as all his assignments are urgent and must be completed before the train reaches its destination.

However he does not know each exact assignment until the last minute. He has to focus, watch and listen carefully for the signals. The signals are given in the supernatural. He may receive a vision. He may have a dream. He may have a name or a Bible verse appearing in his heart or right before his eyes when he reads the Bible. He may receive the signal in broad daylight while driving in his car. He may receive it when worshiping God. He may receive it in the midnight hours. All he needs to do is to respond.
When he is not sure he asks the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will speak to him again through another means: a song, a person, a verse, a sermon passage, a phone call, a mobile message, a piece of news etc. Sometimes he asks his spiritual mentor to pray too and see if she receives similar or further clarifications. Sometimes before he asks, she already receives the message for him separately and sends it in the form of a mobile message!

During the last two days he has been reading a very important book. He could not sleep last night so he decided to read more of it. When he reached some verses he meditated on them and prayed as led by the Holy Spirit. He tried to memorize some of them.
This morning he woke from a dream. In the dream he was back in his former company and was shown by an internal office inspector (his junior) of a list of operations under his charge which required his rectification. He only remembered one warning word for him when he woke.
In the morning before going to church, he decided to walk on his treadmill while worshiping and memorizing Bible verses. Then he remembered one verse in the book which he was urged by the Spirit to memorize on the previous night. The verse appeared in his heart strongly with urgency. So he looked through the verse in the Bible. To his surprise he found that just one verse below, the warning word which he received in his dream appeared!
The word relates to handling of God's word. It was not a common word. But it does serve an accurate reminder for Jack as he is trained to use his mind more than his spirit. He used to take pride in his mind as he thought all his former successes in the corporate world were attributed to his mind! So the Holy Spirit knows exactly what to warn Jack! The Holy Spirit confirmed the same message twice!
When he attended church later, another incident happened. He was asked to pray the opening prayer. He was led to pray the verse which the Holy Spirit has already prepared his heart for on the previous night. It occurred that the sermon on that day was on the same topic. Again, the Holy Spirit confirmed the same message twice!
In another incident, he was approached by someone to intercede for her close relative. He did not feel any leading from the Holy Spirit then so he did not commit himself. However, almost a week later while driving on a long distance, after listening to a message about Jesus' completed salvation on the cross, her name appeared and he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray fervently for her and that loved one of hers. He obeyed.

Jack has discovered that the prayers of an intercessor are not usual. He has become a person who does not pray much in the public. Prayers require the input of the Holy Spirit. Often times he needs to spend time before God and read and meditate God's word before he knows what to pray and intercede. God's word are like seeds. An intercessor needs seeds before he can sow by faith. He also needs the water from the Holy Spirit for the ground before he can sow them.
All in all he has learned to become a novice spiritual gardener. O, how he loves gardening this way, in the cool of the morning and evening, in the gentle presence of the Holy Spirit, knowing that the real gardener is in heaven ensuring the produce of fruits, thirty-fold, sixty-fold and hundred-fold!

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Holy Spirit cries out, “What I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”


After much soul searching and praying about finances and whether to invest further in a particular stock, Jack heard clearly the verse from Acts 3:6. The Apostle Peter told a beggar, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” He immediately read the chapter about this revelation. It was indeed amazing how the beggar, a grown man, who had been lame from his mother’s womb received strength in his feet and ankle bones immediately, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with the Apostles, walking, leaping and praising God!
The man had never walked or worked all his life. He depended on others to lay daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple. Suddenly he could stand up, walk and leap! How he must have rehearsed these movements in his heart as he watched others since he was a toddler with helplessness and despair, knowing that he would never be able to experience the freedom others had!
After reading aloud and pondering on this verse, Jack was led to hear a message from Malachi 4:2, wherein the Lord proclaimed, “But to you who fear/revere My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healings in His wings; and you will go out and leap like the claves released from the stall.”
A stall is an enclosed small area set off by walls for special use. We all have stalls in our mind, called mind-set. One mind-set is unbelief.
Even Christians have such mind-set. But the Lord promises that those who revere His name (the name of Jesus Christ of Nazereth) will be set free from such bondages and oppressions. They will see the Sun of Righteousness arising with healings on His wings. They will go out and leap like calves released from the stall!
Jack knows his own mind-set. He repents and faith arises in his heart. He sees the greatness in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazereth. He believes the power of that name. The Bible clearly says that there are no other names but that name by which anyone can be saved (healed, delivered, blessed and prospered in all aspects: spirit, soul and body). How dull and foolish his heart had been in thinking that that one name was only powerful in one area and not in all others. He repents deeply.
What happened to that investment? Jack made a decision based on his fresh mind-set. He has made a commitment not to use the Lord’s name in vain. He has determined in his heart to use the Lord’s name with belief. It was wonderful and liberating.
Life suddenly brightens up and his heart leaps like calves released from the stall, under the bright light of the Sun of Righteousness!
Acts 3:16 “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.”
Thank you, Holy Spirit!

Chapter Seventy-Two: A watchman on the wall cries out, “Enter through the narrow gate!”


The more Jack seeks God the more he knows that time is short and there is a sense of increasing urgency for God's people to know God. Jesus defined "eternal life" as "know God the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom God has sent". (John 17:3) So there is no other more important matter than this, making sure that one knows God and Jesus.
Has God made it difficult? No. As God has so loved the world that He has given His only Son Jesus to die for and has thus redeemed the lost world (including the whole human race). It is only logical that he would similarly make it easy for those who believe to get to heaven. There is only one problem for Christians. The problem of unbelief.
What Jack has been learning lately has cried out to him loudly, "What makes you think you know God? If you know God can you still harbor unbelief in your heart? Unbelief is not believing in all the word of the Lord and still preferring to do things the usual worldly way!"
His greatest unbelief is not living fully by the Holy Spirit. The teaching from his previous Churches do not believe in the absolute requirement by God that Christians live in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. The churches teach that Christians are considered as having complied in their mind. They teach that it is risky to try to really follow the Holy Spirit and live in the Spirit. They do not believe that God (the power of the Holy Spirit) can protect His children who have come to Him by faith and trusting and obeying His word by faith, and exercising the spiritual authority that Jesus has given to all His followers.
Yet, it is so clear in the whole Bible that there are no other way to obey God and His word except through the Holy Spirit. Jack has discovered that Jesus Himself and the Apostles (inspired by the Holy Spirit) have given Christians clear instructions (on how to enter the kingdom of God through the narrow gate) in this respect.
The First Clue: You can only enter heaven like the wind.
Jesus told Nicodemus (a high positioned political official and authority on Jewish religion) that unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:5-6)
This clue clearly says that one can only enter the kingdom of God in spirit (born of the Holy Spirit).
Jesus in fact illustrated how this will happen. "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8) This means when one is born of the Spirit one can enter the kingdom of God as free as the wind blows and as unencumbered by flesh (a body and/or a mind that is against God). (Romans 8:7)
Conclusion: If you do not want to become involved in the matter of the Holy Spirit, you cannot get there.
The Second Clue: You can only enter heaven living the spiritual, supernatural life.
The Apostle Paul further explained clearly in Romans 8:1-16 how there is no alternative for a Christian but to be led by the Spirit and walk according to the Spirit.
How to know you are one of them? Those who are in Christ Jesus have the Spirit of Christ dwell in them, walk according to the Holy Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit, are spiritually minded, and are led by the Spirit of God. These are Christians (sons of God) who can live the supernatural life of Christ (living divine and empowered by the Holy Spirit).
How to know you are not one of the above? These are people who do not have the Spirit of Christ, walk according to the flesh (following the world and its system/way, loving the world and the things of the world, only seeing and caring for the things that can be seen), setting their minds on things of the flesh, knowing only how to do deeds of the body (not of the Spirit).
If you think that you can be led by the Spirit in your mind, you are wrong. The mind is carnal and is against God. (Romans 8:7)
Conclusion: You just have to practice living in the spirit on earth as it is in heaven.
The Third Clue: Christians are elected to worship God. God is seeking true worshipers. There is a place for you in heaven if you are one!
Jesus told the Samaritan woman by the well this truth. "But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:23-24)
It therefore makes sense to practice worshiping in spirit and in truth when on earth. A pastor thus challenged, "What makes you think you can suddenly become a true worshiper on that Day when you do not practice now on earth? What makes you think you will like worshiping day and night there when you never like it here?" Indeed, there is no way you can fit into the elect group when you heart does not desire to worship God. How many minutes can you bear worshiping God? Are you worshiping God even when you are alone, at any moments? Be honest as it is a life and death matter!
Conclusion: You can only enter heaven if you are a true worshiper. If you cannot worship in spirit (not in mind/mere emotion, but in the Holy Spirit) and in truth (based on the word of God and in Jesus who is the Truth), then you do not qualify.
The Fourth Clue: You can only enter heaven with Jesus.
Jesus told His disciples that He would come again and receive them to Himself. He also told them clearly that He is the way, the truth and the life and that no one goes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6). He then gave an important key : "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." (John 14:7) He promised them that He would pray the Father to send the Spirit of truth (the Holy Spirit) to guide them into all truth, and tell them things to come.  The Holy Spirit will dwell with them and will be with them.
There is a further crucial clue. Jesus told them, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him." (John 14:23) Here, a Christian is promised of the presence of God Himself, with the condition that the Christian keeps God's word.
Conclusion: You need the Holy Spirit and the word of God to enter heaven.
Summary: in all four clues, you need the Holy Spirit to take you to heaven!
Christ is our real life. How to live the real life? Jack has been learning to practice this in his journey in the Holy Spirit. He prays that you too may find the desire in your heart to do so. You do not have any alternative, really.

Chapter Seventy-One: How a watchman on the wall interacts with the Holy Spirit

During the advance training for intercessors, Jack had a number of supernatural encounters. Overall, he has again been tutored by the best, the Holy Spirit Himself.
The following are examples of some of his personal learning:
1. He became more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. For example, on the previous night he heard a sharing of a senior watchman/intercessor’s being severely spiritually attacked, the next morning he saw a vision on what to intercede for her. As his intercession was only limited to her, he was further led by the Holy Spirit to intercede for her whole ministry by showing him another vision on her co-worker!
2. He learned to intercede prophetically. For example, the intercessors walked under clothes anointed to symbolize the blood of Jesus (the Lamb of God), to be reminded of His Covenant. As they walked they could intercede as led by the Spirit. A lot of them were filled with great joy!
3. While worshiping and listening to the word of God being preached or in the midst of prayers made by the senior intercessors, the participants were asked to lift up their hands from time to time to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He lifted up his hands as called even though he had felt nothing sensational. He felt nothing in fact. However, the result showed after the whole conference was over. He became very alert to the calling of the Holy Spirit and responded fast. The followings are some of the immediate examples.
On the day after his course, he thought he could sleep late but the Holy Spirit woke him at 4am! He was reluctant but the Holy Spirit immediately reminded him that he could always go back to sleep after his assignment. So he got up. He did not have to wonder what to do like before, as he was led to read the Bible aloud, to let the environment be saturated by God’s word. After he has read for about two hours, he heard the loud chanting/praying of a pagan religion nearby. He knew it had no power as the true God is here! He was allowed to go back to sleep after that.
However, when he woke around 7.30am, he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to jog on the treadmill, which he would normally not have done as he had to travel again soon. But the instruction was urgent. So he obeyed. He was asked to read the Bible verses aloud while jogging and he did for another 45 minutes until the Holy Spirit urged him to stop. So his job was completed in that house with a pagan altar in front and another pagan temple nearby.
On the second day after he arrived at his own home, he was woken early by the Holy Spirit. He was asked to jog on his own treadmill. So he thought he was to read the Bible aloud while jogging. But the Holy Spirit corrected him and led him to take out a CD of worship songs from his car and played it and worshiped while jogging. It was a wonderful experience. He worshiped for about an hour and felt completely refreshed by the Holy Spirit!
On the next morning when he woke he thought of repeating what he did the previous day before he went to church for morning worship. But the Holy Spirit said no. He was led to read a Bible passage and was urged to repent and intercede for the churches in that city. He felt overwhelmed by what he read but he obeyed. By the time he reached his own church he was already in the Spirit and was richly blessed by the presence of God! The whole morning he was Spirit-filled and prayed and interceded (quietly) prophetically at times. While praying it was revealed to him that what the church was doing and proclaiming as a corporate body of Christ was prophetic too for the churches of that land! (As he lifted his eyes to look beyond the physical number, he was filled with the awareness of the awesome great God he worshiped!)
On the following night he encountered two unusual incidents. He woke around 1.30am shivering and chattering. He felt freezing cold. But the room temperature was not cold at all. He knew the cold had come from his mind so he forced words out of his chattering teeth and rebuked the enemy in the name of Jesus. he also called forth the fire of the Holy Spirit to warm him. Then he put on thick clothes and more layers of blankets and went back to sleep.  He then dreamed of an incident of a religious persecution. He woke again around 5am and decided to intercede. During his Bible reading of Psalm 37 he knew clearly he was asked to intercede for a pastor (and his 24 hour prayer center) who was being persecuted. So he read the psalm and proclaimed its prophetic promises for the oppressed church.
He was led to intercede through singing spiritual songs instead of prayers. The first one came to him as he was worshiping in his own home. He could not believe the words and music that came out from his mouth. It was a beautifully touching song for Israel, prophetically calling forth the opening of her gate to welcome the arrival of the Messiah King Yeshua in His second coming for her elect. He did not manage to write it down as he was so engrossed singing the song from the Holy Spirit!
When his assignment was over he went back to sleep and immediately saw another vision about a young man. But he was too tired so he told the Holy Spirit he would pray for that young man when he woke. He was then given another dream confirming the urgency to intercede for the prayer houses (of intercessors for all nations). When he woke again he continued to feel the urgency and spent the bulk of the day interceding.
There was an interesting incident whereby the Holy Spirit told him off and he heard. One day he was strongly urged to read a Bible passage and he did. But he then thought to himself that it was odd as it did not apply to him or his household. He immediately heard in his heart (not audible) “What are you doing?” He knew it was the Holy Spirit, so he was puzzled. Then the Holy Spirit asked again, “What do you think you are doing?”
It woke him. He was called to be an intercessor/watchman. He should be reading the Bible passages for his assignments to intercede for those for whom he was called to stand in the gap: the churches and the nations he was in. (Instead of being so self-focused)
When he realized this important role, he repented and read the Bible with a new perspective. Indeed he was led to intercede for the lost churches and the lost lands faithfully.
Today he read the following passages which really shook him. Mark 13:33-37 Jesus commanded and instituted this assignment:
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming-in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning- lest, coming suddenly he finds you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
There is no other more important and wonderful task for a watchman. Watch! (and pray)

Chapter Seventy: Prosper through The Seed (Word of God) and Water from Heaven (the Holy Spirit)


One day Jack was strongly urged in the spirit to do a search on all the verses about the rich provision of God. What was revealed has transformed his whole perspective about the blessings of God. He discovered that indeed God has supplied seeds and ensure material security and provision growth for all God’s children.
He is overjoyed to see how God provides the seeds for the sowers and food for them as well. The Lord supplies the resources he needs, ensures the right circumstances and environments and produces the abundant end results / fruits and profits of his labor/investment.
However, there is one crucial key: the whole operation process requires the pouring of the Holy Spirit! It is all about the Holy Spirit bringing forth the blessings (as covenanted with Abraham and re-validated by Jesus) and making them materialized. The word of God is the seed and the Holy Spirit is the water.
Isaiah 32:15 “Until the Holy Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest.”
Isaiah 32:20 How blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream. (The word of God and the Holy Spirit go hand in hand!)
Deut 32:2 Let my teaching fall like rain and  my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plant.

Those who believe will be richly and abundantly blessed by these verses!
Isaiah 30:23-26 God will provide rain for the seeds you sow. The grain that grows will be abundant. Your cattle will range far and wide. Oblivious to war and earthquake, the oxen and donkeys you use for hauling and plowing will be fed well near running brooks that flow freely from mountains and hills. Better yet, on the Day God heals his people of the wounds and bruises from the time of punishment, moonlight will flare into sunlight, and sunlight, like a whole week of sunshine at once, will flood the land.
Isaiah 55:10-11
10 “ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,”
11 “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
Psalm 65:9-13
9 You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You settle its ridges,
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year with Your bounty,
And Your paths drip with fatness.
12 The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are clothed with flocks
And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, yes, they sing.
Psalm 104:13-14
13 He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.
14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth food from the earth.
Psalm 72:6 He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth. In his days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.
