Pay It Forward
30 Fold
This
ministry does not accept donations, but
if you desire to help after being blessed
by God through it, just "pay it forward."
Simply, send your blessing to a friend
or family member by e-mailing "it"
forward. "It" is the experience
of God's love and forgiveness, which we
can't help but share with someone else,
so they can experience "it" too.
So act now, and "pay it forward!"

God Paid "It" Forward
A few years ago, a young
boy brought the concept of "pay it
forward" to the movie screen. He showed
by example how the world could be changed
if every person who experienced something
good would "pay it forward." God
had this principle in mind even before He
created man by paying his provision forward.
He knew that even though Adam and Eve would
sin, their seed would eventually change
if they could experience His goodness, mercy
and unconditional love. 1
There was an uprising against
God in heaven before He created man. Iniquity
was found in Lucifer's heart. 2
In pride, he said, "I will be like
the most High." 3
I believe Lucifer rebelled out of jealously
that mankind was about to be created "a
little lower than God" [Elohim, not
'angels']. In His own image, God crowned
His new creation in honor and glory, and
even Lucifer was being put under man's feet.
4
As a result, the LORD threw
Lucifer and a third of the angels out of
heaven. He changed his name to Satan and
fallen angels became the demons. God knew
they would infect mankind, but He had already
made provision through the blood of His
Son Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain for sin
from the foundation of the world. 5
It was in the mind of our Heavenly Father
to pay our forgiveness forward, so we all
could experience His goodness for ourselves.
The Garden & Promised Seed
God has always looked out
for His children. He filled the Garden of
Eden with His goodness. He blessed Adam
and Eve, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply,
fill the earth, subdue it and have dominion."
6 They were to "pay
[the blessing] forward", but not without
opposition. Satan and his accusing spirits
had their own plan to "pay [the curse]
forward." They brought forth the spirit
of pride 7, bondage
8, fear 9,
bitterness 10, jealously
11, whoredom 12,
heaviness 13, divination
14, infirmity 15
and the anti-christ. 16
The Bible tells its readers of lying 17,
unclean 18, deaf and
dumb 19 spirits that
seek to inhabit bodies. 20
The devil is very cleaver in "paying
it forward" through his deceptive and
counterfeit schemes, 21
but after the Fall, God "paid [Satan's
defeat] forward" immediately, promising
that Jesus [the seed of the woman] would
bruise Satan's head at the cross. 22
It is your responsibility
to discern good and evil, by becoming skillful
in the knowledge of what is right. 23
This way demonic thoughts will have no place
[room or right] to operate in your life.
24 Like in the days
of Noah, the world is experiencing the debauchery
of Satan all over the land. God sent His
word through Noah to "pay [man's safety]
forward," but the Ark was rejected
because of unbelief. Jesus Christ is your
Ark, who God has provided to bring you to
Himself by "paying [Heaven] forward"
through the blood of His Son. This way the
world does not experience His wrath like
in the days of Noah, when only eight souls
received His payment forward. 25
After the Flood, God gave Noah the promise
of "seedtime and harvest." 26
Many years later, God promised
to "pay [His Seed] forward" by
blessing Abraham and his Seed. 27
The promise to "pay [the blessing]
forward" was fulfilled in the person
of Jesus Christ, "Not to Abraham and
His Seed were the promises made, He does
not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but
as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is Christ.
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise."
28 The LORD paid the
blessing forward to us, "The first
man Adam became a living being. The last
Adam became a life-giving spirit."
29 The blessing is
God's Word of promise to cleanse us of sin
by the Blood of Jesus and to live within
us through His Spirit.
What is Your Garden growing?
Your heart was created
to be God's garden, solely for His Seed
to produce His fruit and to have dominion
in your life as prophet, priest and king.
The LORD says, "I call heaven and earth
to record this day against you, that I have
set before you life and death, blessings
and cursings: therefore choose life, that
both thou and thy seed may live." 30
Sadly, many of us have chosen to "pay
[man's curse] forward" instead of the
blessing.
One reason is that all
have sinned and fallen short of the glory
of God as a result of
Adam and Eve's fall in the Garden 6000 years
ago. 31 The solution
is receive the promised Seed into the "ground"
of your heart. 32
If you confess you are a sinner, God is
faithful to have already cleansed you of
all unrighteousness by His blood. 33
Just say out loud now,
"Father, I confess Jesus Christ as
Lord, I'm a sinner, I accept your cleansing
blood paid forward for me. I believe in
my heart that You raised Christ from the
dead to give me everlasting life. 34
Holy Spirit, I invite you to live in me.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul. Amen!"
Being born of the Spirit means that God
is greater in you than he [the devil] that
is in this world. 35
You Are God's Temple
Upon receiving Christ,
you become a temple of the Holy Spirit,
36 but the Spirit
is often quenched by weeds in your garden.
You'll find accusing and unloving spirits,
bitterness, fear, jealously, unforgiveness,
rejection, witchcraft and others mentioned
in God's Word. You pull these weeds by the
authority of Jesus Name. He set the example
for dealing with these devils. 37
He cast them out by the authority of God
as a man walking in Spirit. 38
You are to do the same! First, call these
spirits by the name given them in the Bible.
Then, cast them out by the authority given
to you in the Name of Jesus Christ. 39
It is time to be responsible,
no longer giving any right to Satan and
his demons. The time is here to no longer
allow the world, the flesh and the devil
a place in your heart. As a son of God,
actively put your foot down on the neck
of your enemy, "casting down imaginations
and and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, and bring
into captivity every thought to the obedience
of Christ." 40
It is important to remember
God's promise in the Garden. Jesus would
bruise the head of the serpent. 41
Satan's defeat took place at the cross,
where God forgave all sin. Jesus took your
curse that God's law demanded and destroyed
it by nailing it to Christ's cross. In this
way, God disarmed the evil rulers and authorities.
He shamed them publicly by His victory over
them on the cross of Christ. 42
The promise of God's Word to cleanse you
by the blood of Jesus is fulfilled, so that
the Holy Spirit can dwell in you, "...to
do exceedingly abundantly above all that
you ask or think, according to the power
that works in you." 43
God's Divine Plan
God's divine plan is to
bring you out of the snare of the devil.
44 Jesus Christ "paid
[your deliverance] forward" by grace
through faith in Him. His purpose is for
you to "pay [His blessing] forward."
Your testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of
prophecy, sharing God's promised Word
as prophet. 45 You
testify of the Blood of Jesus as
priest and king. 46
You overcome the devil by the word of your
testimony in the Spirit. 47
Your passion increases as you yield to holiness,
experiencing more of God's love and forgiveness.
48
One of the greatest battles
for the Christian is in the area of personal
forgiveness. The devil is always present
to bring guilt and condemnation for sin.
49 He is only successful
with those who do not know "all"
their sins were forgiven 2000 years ago
at Calvary: past, present and future. 50
Jesus paid it all, and gave you a receipt,
stamped: "Paid in full!" Once
the Holy Spirit reveals the empowering work
of His grace, it helps you overcome sin,
self and Satan in every area of your life.
As you realize your complete
forgiveness, you'll find it easier to forgive
others. Say, "it is written: Jesus
purchased my freedom through His
blood, and my sins are forgiven!"
51 Thank God out loud
for your forgiveness continually, rather
than habitually asking for forgiveness.
52 The more you realize
that God's forgiveness is past tense, the
more you are able to "pay it forward."
The Great Commission
It is time to serve notice
on the devil, not allowing him to affect
your testimony any
longer. Jesus was manifest to destroy the
works of the devil. 53
You have no time for the devil in these
last days. You are commanded to submit to
God, resist the devil, and he will flee
from you. 54 We are
commanded to be sober, to keep awake, because
our adversary the devil walks about, seeking
whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast
in the faith! 55 Do
you know the devil is no match for those
who walk by faith in Jesus Christ? You are
a soldier in the army of God, "paying
[Satan's defeat] forward!" Say "it
is written: I have overcome the devil by
the blood of the lamb, and the word of my
testimony!"
The little boy in the "Pay
It Forward" movie had an amazing love
for those around him. God loves all mankind!
He wants to have all men saved, and for
them to come to the knowledge of the truth
that is in Jesus Christ. 56
He is not willing that any should perish
for their sin, but that all should come
to repentance. 57
But He is just and will surely punish sin,
"For the wages of sin is death; but
the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord." 58
This movie gives us a Biblical
illustration, possibly without you even
realizing it until
now. Jesus said, "I will make you fishers
of men." 59 We
are Ambassadors for Christ. 60
The Apostle Peter commands us to be good
stewards of the manifold grace of God. 61
We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be
God's witnesses unto the uttermost parts
of the earth. 62 Jesus
commands us to "Go and make disciples
of all nations." 63
This is our call. God's plan and purpose
for His children to "pay [His love
and forgiveness] forward." We are to
reach out to others with God's abounding
love and forgiveness.
Resist the Devil
It is of utmost importance
that you recognize and specifically name
the spirits that are attacking your life
and ministry. With the war on terror, it
is imperative that the Central Intelligence
Agency learn all about the schemes and plans
of the terrorist group named Al-Qaida. The
same is true for your spiritual warfare.
It is easy to recognize
the many accusing spirits that attack you
daily with their negative words, but the
spirit of bitterness may be harder to recognize.
It is accompanied with unforgiveness, resentment,
retaliation, anger, hatred, violence and
murder in that progressive order. Although
bitterness is called a root in the Bible,
it is a spirit that you must resist at all
cost. !t is a ruling demon that will try
to control your life.
!n this article, I also
name whoredom, which include all lustful
thoughts, illicit sex, adultery, homosexuality
and pornography. Don't forget to break down
and resist the many lies of the devil that
work through the spirits of pride, bondage,
fear, jealously, heaviness, witchcraft,
infirmity and the anti-christ. You don't
wage war with human. plans and methods.
You use God's mighty weapons, not mere worldly
weapons, to knock down the devil's strongholds.
