Is it possible to swim against the tide and what exactly is the tide? The tide referred to here is the tide of the floodwaters of financial challenges no matter the format in which they present.
God had long intervened in your finances and released financial abundance to you. But the enemy has been blockading your access to the financial abundance, resisting and opposing you spiritually, physically, mentally and in so many ways that you are probably beginning to doubt if God wants you to have any personal finances. Beloved, God did not create you to be poor, in lack, in debt and borrowing to live. He created you to prosper, be wealthy and to be happy. Whatever then limits you from prospering is not of God, is satanic and should be destroyed completely in Jesus mighty name.
The prince of Persia opposed the angel bringing God’s answer of healing and restoration to Daniel’s intercession, confession of sins and repentance in prayer accompanied by prayer and fasting by blocking the angel from reaching and accessing Daniel. The prince of Persia succeeded for twenty one days until archangel Michael came to the rescue and the angel was free to reach Daniel as Michael held forth and successfully so. The prince of Persia was not alone in the blockade and barricade of the angel’s access to Daniel (Daniel Chapter 10 verse 13). He came with the kings of Persia – though the number is not specified, kings stand for plural meaning they were more than one. Secondly, they were opposed to the angel’s visit to Daniel and therefore withstood him from accessing Daniel with God’s answer of peace. In like manner, the devil and his cohorts oppose, resist, fight the grace and goodness of God in our lives. They do this using different methodologies which the Bible refers to as wiles in Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 11 to 12; strongholds, arguments and high things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Through these, they attempt to pollute the people of God to contaminate them and bring them into judgment so that the wrath of God rather than the mercy of God rests upon them.
But God in His infinite mercy; who loves His people dearly (John Chapter 3 verse 16, Ephesians Chapter 2 verses 4 to 5, Romans Chapter 5 verses 6 to 11) made a way of escape for His people through the blood of Jesus Christ (1st John Chapter 1 verses 8 to 10, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 13 to 14, 1 verses 13 to 14, Romans Chapter 5 verses 6 to 11); so that at any time the devil succeeds in making believers sin against God, believers can appropriate the blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness and cleansing of sins as well as restoration. However, we must admit to sinning, acknowledge the sin before God, confess it to God as sin and ask for forgiveness and cleansing by the blood of Jesus Christ. Only then does God who is rich in mercy free us from the accusations and oppositions of the enemy to experience and enjoy His myriad blessings in our lives. It was after Daniel prayed for forgiveness that the Israelites were released from captivity in Babylon.
In like manner, you should rise up against the floodwaters of financial lack rising against you suddenly; showing up on the sides of the road and expanding to the middle of the road to take over the entire road, in front of you, thus blockading further movement up front. These floodwaters threatening backwards movement so that you return to where you were coming from in your journey to financial independence can be stemmed.
