Get the Order Right!

By: Fred Reid

       As usual Jesus is the example for everything that we do for He has been through everything that we’ve been through or will go through, so this devotional is about understanding the order by which we receive spiritual elevation. Things happen in the spirit realm before they are manifested into the natural realm so be patient and encouraged!

If you’ve been to more than two church services in your life you’ve prolly heard someone say “name it, claim it” or “speak those things that be not as though they were” or “decree a thing and it shall be established” basically something along the lines of speaking faith to usher something into your life that you don’t have yet. Most of those phrases contain scripture and therefore are more factual than anything else in this world, however time has passed and you may not have most of the stuff you claimed or spoke about and may be in the process of doubting or even worst giving up on what you spoke. Don’t feel bad its natural and this devotional is just in time for you!

There are SEVERAL examples of someone “decreeing” a thing and it not happening until MUCH later…but it happened! (that’s enough right there to be excited about) In an effort to keep this devo short I’ll only use one example. Revelations 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the earth. Meaning even before the world was created Jesus SPIRITUALLY was slain for our sins; however it took hundreds of years for Him to even be born. After He was born He lived 33 years before actually being slain NATURALLY.

In essence what I’m attempting to stress to you is the things God has shown you, or the things you have prophesied over your life believing that God will manifest…WILL MANIFEST! The day God showed you, or spoke it over you or gave it to you to say you received it spiritually, now you must wait for it to manifest naturally. That’s why you feel confident that your current situation is not your end, your spirit man is literally ahead of time waiting for your body and money, and career, and family and car and schooling and friends and whatever else to catch up! Don’t get discouraged! You already have it just wait for it to manifest!
