Scripture:

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
(Matthew 11:28–30 MSG)

Devotion:

Jesus taught how to live in the earth according to heaven’s economy, and demonstrated how to use the principles and laws of the kingdom to manifest this abundance for any need anywhere, anytime, independent of geographical location or the world’s economic system. These same principles work today for any kingdom citizen who will believe and act on them by faith…whether it’s a government facing an economic dearth…or a CEO facing a severe downturn in company sales and profits, or the head of a household desiring no longer to live paycheck to paycheck in caring for the family.

The Father never intended for His children to depend on the world and its system to provide for them. My desire is that you will know and begin operating in these biblical economic principles to supernaturally produce provision, know how to fix any financial or material need or problem that comes your way, and be able to accomplish any dream or vision God places in your heart…because money or provision will no longer be an obstacle.

When you become a citizen of the kingdom of God, and begin to operate according to the new economy, the enormous supplies that have been set aside for you in the heavenly warehouse of God become available to you. This is a supply that will last until Jesus comes, waiting for all those who would partner with God and call it forth by faith.

It’s your time to call forth by faith the supply waiting for you in God’s heavenly warehouse!

Prayer:

Dear God, thank you for the rest you have provided for me in Christ. Jesus, teach me to follow You, rest in You, and operate like You do. I declare by faith that I am a citizen of Your kingdom, and I call for (name your need) out of the supply You have laid aside for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
