He can restore to you what the devil has stolen. He can bring you out of lack and into prosperity. He can heal your body, minister to your family and solve problems that look totally unsolvable. That’s why He’s called “the God of peace.” In Hebrew the word peace is shalom. It means “whole, undamaged, and intact, with nothing missing and nothing broken.” And it describes what God can do for you. When you put your faith in Him, He will bring His peace, wholeness and BLESSING to every part of your life. When you give Him the opportunity, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20, "New Living Translation"). I can confirm this from personal experience because He’s done it for me. I remember one year in particular, for instance, when our ministry went through some prolonged financial difficulties. They dragged on for a number of months and showed no signs of letting up. We knew the devil was behind the situation, so when it continued through one year and threatened to stretch into the next, we took our stand on the Word of God. By faith we started declaring that things were going to change. We started saying that we would see a financial turnaround and it would be a year of financial freedom. We didn’t stop there, either. We also set our faith on having a big year in other ways. I started calling it a year of fullness, health and a fresh anointing. I declared it would be a year in which Ken and I, and all our ministry Partners, would step into more of what God has called us to do. Sure enough, those things came to pass. God did exactly what we believed for and confessed, not because we are more special than anyone else but because, according to the Bible: • “Whosoever shall say…and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” (Mark 11:23) • “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21) • “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) Those verses will work for anyone who will believe and act on them. They’ll work for you just like they work for me. That’s why I want to encourage you to put your faith in them and start declaring that this year, 2021, is your turnaround year. BLESSED in Everything All the Time “But Gloria,” you might say, “can I really be sure God wants to bless me in every area of my life this year?” Yes, you can. The Word of God leaves no doubt about it. It says to all of us who are born-again believers that “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse…that the blessing of Abraham might come on [us] through Jesus Christ” (Galatians 3:13-14). THE BLESSING of Abraham isn’t just a blessing. It’s not just God looking down at us every once in a while and giving us a temporary break from the curse by occasionally doing something good for us. No, THE BLESSING continually touches everything in our lives, and it’s ours all the time because God has already given it to us. 18 : BVOV
