Luke 6:38 – KJV
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 – New American Standard
“Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
Luke 6:38 – New Living Translation
If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving – large or small – it will be used to measure what is given back to you.”
Luke 6:38 – Amplified
Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.
We received a letter from the IRS announcing that the Economic Stimulus Payment Notice was passed by Congress and President Bush signed it into law. This is called the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.
The Lord said to me that this natural act was a manifestation of what happened in the spirit we he declared a release on February 15, 2008 (See Deuteronomy 15). According the the scripture above, we are to expect gifts from men who’s hearts God has touched to give and that we are to make room for it. The Lord is saying right now that this is the reason for the change. Yes, we have felt the shifting in our spirits and in the natural but it was only God moving things out so that the new could be brought in. Some of us felt like we were being pruned and torn down but it was only God tearing down the old so that He could build a bigger you. He tore down the business to make it bigger. He brought you out of old relationships, to bring you into a better one. He moved you away from one place to bring you into a bigger place.
Psalm 66:11 – Amplified
You caused men to ride over our heads [when we were prostrate]; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out into a broad, moist place [to abundance and refreshment and the open air]. Luke 4:18 – Message
God’s Spirit is on me; he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free, to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”
According to the scripture above, what was really passed was “God’s Act of 2008″. This will not end because in the natural it was made into law. Remember, this only mirrors the season that heaven has pronounced; New Beginnings and New Things. All of this is happening in the SPRING.
Isaiah 43:18-19 - Amplified
Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 - Message
“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
These are not just natural gifts but spiritual gifts the Lord will give and He is making room in us for the spiritual gifts. He is stretching us out. The Lord is saying that we have right now a big sign on us that says “Expansion Project 2008″. He had us in the heat or fire only to expand us so that we would have room for more gifts. We were a bunch dough rolled up in a ball and place in the middle of the cooking pan to be placed in the oven. Once the dough is in the oven, it doesn’t rise it expanse. If you place yeast in the dough, it will rise without the heat. That is why, Jesus said to be careful of the yeast of the Pharisees. Those who want to give you their religious schemes that don’t require you to get in the heat or fire.
You see God wants to expand us His way so that He can get the glory. He doesn’t want us to just rise but to expand. If we look at the word rise, there is one letter that explains it all, “I”. The religious schemes will cause the “I” to rise. This where we hear the statements, “I did this on my own or Look at what I’ve done to attain these gifts”, but when we look at the word expand, there is no ”I’ to be found. This expansion will not come out of our own abilities. What God does will last, what the religous system produces will fail.
So be encouraged and “Behold, God’s Act of 2008″.
