If you believe what the devil says about your finances and if you believe what the news media and carnally minded people say, then those signs will follow your finances. The wisdom of the world tells us there is inflation and recession, and that you cannot overcome it. If you are convinced of this, you will never have enough. Signs will follow what you believe.
Let God's Word Be Final Authority
The Lord said to me, "I want My people to quit listening to what the world's wisdom has to say about their finances and start listening to what I've got to say about it. I am going to command a blessing upon them in order to deliver them out of bondage."
I began reading every scripture in God's Word where He commanded something to happen. In Genesis, Chapter 1, "The Spirit of God was moving across the face of the waters and God said, 'Let there be light.' There was light." You'll find that every time God created something in the book of Genesis, it is always prefaced with "and God said." God said, and it was so. God told me, "I want to command a blessing upon you. All I would have to do to change your entire financial situation is say 'Prosperity, Come! Lack, Go!' That is all it would take."
God "calls those things that be not as though they are" (Rom 4:17). All God has to do to change any situation is to say the Word. There is nothing more powerful than God's Word. It is superior to everything that is made, since all things were made by Him (Col. 1: 16). God told me, "I want to command My blessing upon My people. When I release My words upon their finances, it carries as much power as when I said, 'Light, Be!'"
How Powerful Is God's Commandment?
In Isaiah 50:1 we find: "Thus saith the Lord, 'Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away." In other words, He is telling them that their rebellion and disobedience have put them into bondage, not Him. "Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?" Do you believe that God can redeem your finances? His Word says His hand is not shortened. "Have I no power to deliver?" Now I want you to notice how God connects redemption and power to words. He says, "Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst." God is saying, "I'll tell you just how powerful My words are. All I have to do is say the word and oceans, rivers, seas, lakes, ponds, streams, and creeks dry up." Can you imagine someone so powerful that at His rebuke, at His word, every body of water on this planet would dry up? That's how powerful His command is.
God Will Rebuke The Devourer
In Malachi 3:10 we read a very familiar scripture. God says, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes." Now notice here that God says He will rebuke the devourer. In the New Testament we are instructed to resist the devil. We are instructed to fight the good fight of faith. We are instructed to bind our adversary. But here in Malachi, God says that He will rebuke the devourer for us. The word "rebuke" means to address sharply, reprimand, to force back. When you rebuke the devil, you'll notice a boldness that will come upon you. When you're fed up with the devil and finally get mad at him and rebuke him, then you become a different person. When you're fed up and mad enough to rebuke the devil, he'll leave you alone.
God's fed up with the devil controlling your finances. He's tired of hearing His children say, "I'd love to give more, but I can't." He's tired of His ministers not being able to build their churches. He's fed up, and He is going to rebuke our adversary. It will take enormous amounts of money for us to do in the earth what needs to be done for Jesus to return. God said to me, "I'm going to command My blessing upon My people, for it is they who shall finance the greatest revival that has ever come upon this planet. I will do a work in their finances and I will cause them to prosper for the gospel's sake."
The Devourer Shall Be Stopped
God is going to rebuke the devourer for your sake. The word "devour" means to swallow up, to consume. That is exactly what has been happening to our finances. Have you ever had all of your check spent before you could even get it to the bank? If so, then it was consumed. Have you ever had your money just seem to disappear and you wondered what happened to it all? It was swallowed up. God said, "I will rebuke the one who is swallowing up your money. I will address him sharply." When the Creator of the universe speaks, the Bible says His voice is like thunder. The Bible speaks of the voice of Jesus in the book of Revelation and says it was the sound of many waters. God's voice is a powerful voice and His words carry tremendous power. It is a frightening sound to our adversary.
God is going to speak to your finances. In the spirit realm there will be a thundering voice heard and Satan and his forces will rock and reel under the blow of God's voice.
Get Out Of Bondage Now!
God needs for us to get out of financial bondage now. Jesus is coming soon. There is much work yet to be done, but we can do it. Satan cannot stop the preaching of the Gospel. He will try to by keeping the Body of Christ in financial bondage. But God is not going to allow it, if we'll obey His voice. If you will determine in your heart to be set free, then God will move supernaturally on your finances and deliver you.
Prosperity Belongs To You
God wants to prosper His people. It is not His intention, however, for this wealth to be spent on our own lusts or to gratify our flesh. This is to finance the revival that is coming on this planet. There is a scripture that is beginning to be fulfilled on our behalf. It says that "the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just" (Prov. 13:22). The Amplified Bible says that it will eventually find its way into their hands.
Your Attitude Is Important
The way we sow in famine is also important to God. Let's look at the way the people were instructed to bring an offering in Exodus 35:4, "And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, 'This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying, Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a WILLING HEART, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord.'" In Verse 10 it says, "And every wise hearted among you shall come. Wise hearted people are people who obey God. In Verse 21 it says, "And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all His service, and for the holy garments. And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold." Notice their attitude! They were willing to obey God. They were being obedient to the word of the prophet. These people were so willing to obey God that they gave more than enough. They weren't selfish but gracious, and God was well pleased with them.
If you are obedient to God and sow in famine, He will speak to your finances. With just as much power as when He said, "Light, be," He's going to say "Prosperity, come." Satan cannot stop the return from coming into your hands if you are obedient to God's Word.
In Deuteronomy 28, God commands blessings upon those who obey Him. Victory will come. God is rebuking the devourer and commanding the blessing of Isaac upon all who are obedient to sow in famine. Sow your seed now and keep on sowing and watch God move supernaturally in your behalf.

Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God's help. While he considered himself a "nobody," when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God's faithfulness and Dr. Savelle's "no quit" attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago.
