We are seated together in heavenly places In Christ Jesus Eph. 2:6. We have a seat with Christ that helps us to see the world out of a heavenly perspective. We are not standing on the ground surrounded with life's circumstances. Those things in life which stand around us and often hinders us from flowing in God. We have a seated position given to us through Christ. We can see the world through His eyes from that heavenly place no matter how large or small the scope. We cannot see what is happening in the world through the eyes of the world, but through the eyes of God.

The word teaches us some things about work and the economy through the example of the smallest of creatures, the "ant." We can't follow the ant, complete example for they never seem to rest. But we can take example of the ant in comparison to the sluggard. The word exhorts us simply, to be wise. Work wisely.

This is a day we need the wisdom of God's word, for all else is being shaken. God has called His people to live and stand and abide in Him. He is the only sure foundation. He is the true pattern; He is our bread and meat indeed. He is our water and our wine. The Spirit of the Lord is saying to His people, "Make for Me first."

Proverbs 6:6-15, Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise. which having no captain (leader) overseer or ruler. Provides her supplies in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, (lie down) O' sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. Shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man. A worthless person, a wicked man (Belial) walks with a perverse month. He winks with his eyes, he shuffles his feet. He points with his finger perversity is in his heart. He devises evil continually. He sows discord. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.

The Lord said to me "Pay attention"!! Remember how the ant works and prepares. He brought my attention to Prov. 6:6, He said this summer must be used faithfully (Fuller Life family). What you do in the summer will prepare you for the harvest of the fall. Fall's harvest will be used to store for the winter (storm). I heard "the water has been touched, the oil wasted. You need your new Pentecost for where you are at. (In time) you need your outpouring. Drink up, drink up, study up, soak, and be filled. Prepare. There is a famine coming; first of food then of the word.

At the end of prayer (night watch) 5/22/10 I heard the Lord say, "Priorities, priorities." Be careful of your priorities. He said "Make for Me first." He brought me to I Kings 17:9-16. Vs 13 Elijah said to her (widow), DO NOT fear, go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it FIRST (flour and oil) and bring it to me (Lord) and afterward make some for yourself and your son.

The Prophet decreed that her provision will not run out. As she put the Prophet first (God first) she would be supernaturally provided for.

Some may feel like they heard this before. Well it's time to hear it again. The Lord spoke to me and it shook me in my inner man. He flooded my spirit in moments with several verses of scripture throughout the bible. Stories I had not necessarily read in awhile. He collected examples of His word and dropped it in my spirit (I felt like I scanned the bible). And I know I gained supernatural keys for the hour and the hour at hand. He told me things I'm not called to release, at least not yet. But what I can release will share and impart. I felt strength, warning, caution, encouragement and faith.

He gave me Haggai 1:3-11(real key). Vs 5 consider your ways! I won't go into these verses at this time. I exhort you to read it and seek God over these words. He told me that His people must keep Him set first and He would lead and direct. He would take care of His people. We must set all our priorities in the Lord. Make for Him first, a cake. He will show people the balance of worship, work, rest etc.

He will also deal with imbalance. I sense the Lord's great care and promise for us all. But I also felt a warning. He said we have a day when many will seek to save their selves. Some will build but on shaky and sandy ground. For those who save and store up without God's heart and priority, He said He would blow on it.

We are people with a call to set up, patterns, examples, signs and symbols that point the way to the Lord in dark times. We are called to be a voice, to be a light and even a picture of His word. Some are called to be an ARK. We can't do that in our flesh. We can't do it with selfish motives. But as we continue to set Him first He will give strategy personally and corporately. He will fine tune.

It matters how we build it matters why we bake, why we sow seed and how we harvest. Why we store up. I felt the fear of the Lord, awe, and a great love for His people.

The work will not simply be physical or literal, it will build a spiritual building, equipping, storing and preparing.

The Lord said almost 2 years ago (2008) I will show you how to walk out the next 4 years. We must hear and follow the voice of God. Not with fear, but with faith and trust in the Lord. The ant is diligent without a leader or overseer. How much more with God's people who have all the things that God would afford us at hand, The Holy Spirit, The Word, leaders of God, angels, etc.

Make no mistake, God is speaking to us. What we are to do must be done with the right heart and mind. It must be done with good timing. It must be done with God in mind. It must be under grace. God did not work all 7 days, nor did He rest all 7 days.

Gen. 2:2 thus the heavens and the earth and all the host of them were finished. Vs 2 and on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done. And He rested on the seventh day from all His wok which He had done.

God gave us our first example of a good work ethic. The balance is not about equal portion of time. The example is six days to work and one to rest. But it is daily that we walk with God, like Adam first did. We worship God with our entire lifestyle. We tend to the things He appointed to us, remembering it was God who gave it all to us. When we live in this way we don't have to live under the burden of the world's economy which is subject to the enemy. We live and abide in the Lords economy. Like Adam, like the widow in Elijah's day. Or like Joseph in Gen. 37-50 who was told of trouble ahead of the trouble by God.

Work, rest, live, with worshiping God as your priority will help keep everything you have subject to the Lord. Step into Gods economy by obedience, sowing, reaping, stewardship, work, rest, gathering and the door of gold and glory, supernatural provision. God uses it all.

I will leave you with 8 keys that will help you to live in victory in this day.


1. Honor God with tithes, offering, money while giving with faith, thanks and expectation
2. Be filled with God's word, Spirit. Practice soaking in His presence and glory.
3. Fill your month with God's Word, faith,truth and speak life.
4. Maintain or bring finances into order.
5. Align or realign yourself with those of like faith and spirit.
6. Use your time well. (steward your time)
7. Be careful of carnal or excess entertainment or social. Keep balance.

a. Rest
b. Work
c. Keeping worship first
8. Avoid black holes. Things that steal your time, money, oil (anointing). (These are Satan's assignments for you not from God.)
