Break Through to the Realm of Prosperity!

If there’s one message the enemy comes against, it’s the message of prosperity. In this week’s 4-Points Broadcast, you will learn biblical keys to breaking through to the realm of prosperity—for good!

God wants to show you Kingdom principles for living in a wealthy place.

I don’t want you to compromise your vision for lack of provision! You are going to be able to build financial margin in your life so you can fulfill God’s original plan and purpose—you won’t have to wonder how you’re going to underwrite the vision God has given you. 

This is the last day you will feel as if you must minimize your dream because of an income stream!

I decree you will have the resources and capital to underwrite whatever vision God drops in your spirit—and an overflow to underwrite the Kingdom-inspired visions of others. You will learn to activate the principles of Kingdom economics and biblical finance to bring Heaven’s dreams and visions to pass!

Tap Into Heaven’s Provision

“Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people…that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones.”

Psalm 106:4-5

For many people, achieving financial prosperity seems like wishful thinking. Maybe you feel the same way.

Perhaps you’ve dreamed of getting ahead, but never seem to be able to move beyond making ends meet—even while those ends keep moving further apart.

Plan to join me for our next 4 Points Broadcast as we introduce a new two-part series on Kingdom economics.

Contrary to common perceptions in the Body of Christ, God wants His children to prosper!

Throughout Scripture, we see that God not only gives His people opportunities to prosper, but He also delights in their prosperity.

Indeed, the King’s children shall enjoy the wealth of the wicked (Proverbs 13:22), live an abundant life (John 10:10), prosper (3 John 2), and succeed (Joshua 1:8).

To learn how you can shift your economic landscape, register now for

Kingdom of School of Ministry!

The fundamental principles that release God’s provision to His people are clearly outlined in His Word.

Firmly grasping the rules that govern heaven’s economic system will not only equip you to take authority over your own wealth, but also tap into the limitless resources available for Kingdom growth and advancement.

“Follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do.”

Deuteronomy 29:9

Throughout the Bible, God uses everyday examples to illustrate these laws, yet we sometimes miss their significance because we don’t live in the cultural context of that era.

The blessings listed in Deuteronomy 28 are a case in point. Here you’ll find a wealth of insight about financial prosperity and how to grasp hold of it.

“The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand.”

Deuteronomy 28:8

As outlined in the writings of Moses, the Hebrews farmed and measured what they needed each year in terms of storehouses.

These storehouses were where they housed and kept their produce safe until another harvest could be gathered to replenish the previous year’s storehouse.

Storehouses were built to store what God had provided through the productivity of His people.

The Israelites were used to living with at least three storehouses of grain at all times—two or three years of income stored away to cover their needs. To have less was foolhardy; to have more was unnecessary.

Two to three years of reserves were all the grain they needed at all times unless there were catastrophic problems like multiple years of drought, war, or famine.

Wisdom dictated they have at least three storehouses…

…faith and their relationship to God would take care of the rest.

People didn’t live hand-to-mouth unless they were beggars.

They didn’t spend this month’s paycheck to pay for this month’s rent or have to wait until payday to buy groceries because they had nothing in their “checking account” (yes, bank accounts are a form of storehouse).

Storehouses set very real limits.

There was only so much grain in the storehouse—once it was empty, there was no more.

In that respect, storehouses are very different from bank accounts today. If we need more, we can always borrow—and that is where many of us get into trouble.

That is why budgeting is so important.

Each budget category is like a storehouse if we keep our budgets correctly. When the money in that category is gone, we stop spending until another check arrives and we have more to put into it.

At the same time, our budgets should include bigger “storehouses” for things such as an emergency fund, a college fund, and a retirement fund for the day we can pay ourselves to do what God wants us to do.

The more wisdom you can obtain in this area, the better.

When Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12:16-21, the audience knew that storehouses were important for survival. They knew they had to save in order to have several months of reserves in case of calamity.

At the same time, they knew that whatever they had beyond that amount was more than enough—and could be used to build God’s Kingdom and help others.

Today, we should have the same mentality of saving.

We should not only have money to take care of ourselves no matter what we face—but because we’ve predetermined what the size our storehouses should be, whatever else can be given away or invested in others.

As Deuteronomy 28:8 makes clear, God blesses you and everything you set your hands to when you follow His mandates for how to manage your money—or, rather, His resources.

The Art and Science of Vision

“If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.” 
Numbers 12:6 NKJV

God is raising up visionaries in this generation whom He is going to use to push humanity forward.

A vision is a heavenly pattern given to an individual who causes it to become a reality within a specific time, generation, duration, and space in history.

Visionaries are history makers. 

Visionaries are individuals who seemingly build something out of nothing—something that never before existed.

A vision will give you clear reference points and a measuring rod for success according to Kingdom standards. 

Your vision is a powerful spiritual motivator that will bring clarity to your call.  

Press into the truths God is revealing about how you can tap into your greater potential by discussing the 25 principles found in Scripture.

Read Hebrews 8:5

What did God show Moses and why?

What can we learn from this example?

Read 1 Chronicles 28:11-12

How is a vision different from a dream?

What are the six stages of motivation?

Read Job 33:14-18

What does vision prevent you from doing?

Read Acts 16:9-10

What can we learn about vision from this passage of Scripture?

How have you experienced this in your own life?

Read Genesis 11:1-9

What do these verses show us about the power of imagination and communication?

With whom might you share your vision to accomplish the impossible?

Read Job 32:8-9; 33:14-18

Discuss what you are able to discern from these passages of Scripture.

How can you put these principles into practice?

Read Joel 2:28

Discuss the implications of this promise.

How are you seeing this truth revealed in your life?

Odd-Defying Favor

“Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.” 
Esther 2:15 NJKV 

This past Friday, nations around the world celebrated International Women’s Day—also known as the “UN Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace.”

In fact, many don’t realize that as early as 1955, the entire month of March has been designated as Women’s History Month.

March also brings a change of season with the spring equinox—when the length of day and night is nearly equal in all parts of the world.

There is a balance—or equity—between the shining of the moon and that of the sun. 

This year, the spring equinox also marks the Jewish holy day of Purim, commemorating the day when the Jews were saved from destruction as a result of Queen Esther’s diplomacy.

More specifically, because Queen Esther had the courage to step forward, she obtained the king’s favor and was therefore able to intercede on behalf of her people.

“The king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight.”
Esther 2:17 TLB 

Favor is an incredible spiritual force. It is a principle akin to mercy, in that it not only is supernaturally bestowed but can be actively obtained.

In fact, you will find that favor and mercy are used interchangeably in the Bible.

“You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.“
Psalm 102:13

That word “Zion” has the connotation of something that lacks water or is dried up and parched—something that does not have the ability to produce or sustain life.

Another meaning for Zion is “to lack spirit” or “to be dispirited”—as in those who are discouraged in their faith or hope, or whose prayers and praises are dried up—they have become Zion…they have become dehydrated.

This is significant to understand now in this season because nations around the world are losing hope; they are drying up for lack of spiritual truth. They have become barren lands where there is no mercy, and therefore no hope of favor.

Now more than ever we must understand how to sow in mercy in order to reap in favor—for favor is like rain to a dry and thirsty land.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
 Matthew 5:7

The world is in desperate need for the merciful to stand in the gap; to bravely step forward out of mercy wherever God has put them “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14)—and as a result, obtain the kind of radical favor that makes a way when no other way seems possible.

I believe there is prophetic significance in Purim falling this year on the same day as the spring equinox.

I believe God has placed a special anointing upon women to stand in the gap to intercede and obtain favor for the oppressed and exploited all over the world—to intercede for justice and equity.

Women especially have been endowed with a unique capacity to show compassion. It is that kind of merciful compassion—the same that Christ showed us—that will enable you to defy the odds.

“Therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that you may obtain favor and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16

Now is the time to actively pursue favor, not for yourselves, but on behalf of those unable to seek it for themselves. This is what mercy does.

When you are merciful, God will grant you odd-defying favor.

You will garner the kind of favor that sets captives free, rights wrongs, overturns injustice, establishes peace, and brings equity and balance to a world off kilter. 

Because this is what odd-defying favor does.

And this is what God is anointing you to do in this season.

Wake Up To Your Potential!

“ I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] .”
Philippians 4:13 AMP

What if I told you that you already have everything you need to succeed?

Well, you do!

You have the intuitive smarts, the innate skills, the inherent strength, and the inner stamina required to do whatever it is you are able to imagine.

You are only limited by what you believe is possible.

As a follower of Christ, you “can do all things” (Philippians 4:13), because “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

Too many of us underestimate the power of Christ residing on the inside of us.

We are asleep to the potential we carry to change this world for the glory of God.

“Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
Ephesians 5:14

If each one of you could awaken the giant sleeping within you, imagine what a different world this would be.

This is why I am so passionate about the empowerment message—why I am dedicated to building the capacity of every individual to maximize their potential to lead positive change.

Let’s join our hearts and minds from all around the world as we stir up heaven!

If everyone reading this today were fully present—either physically or virtually—we would create a tremendous shift in the spiritual, social, and political climate that affects us all.

Don’t underestimate the power you have, especially when that power is infused with the faith of believers coming together in agreement.

We read in the Psalms of David that where there is unity—where God’s people come together in agreement—there He commands His blessing. (See Psalm 133: 1-3.)

“There the Lord has pronounced His blessing, even life everlasting.”
Psalm 133:3

Imagine the potential of God’s people today, within whom Christ dwells—“the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27)—when they are united in the Spirit.

Take the lid off your own potential by tapping into the blessing God commands upon those who come together in faith!

 “The just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
Hebrews 10:38 \

You are in possession of everything you need to fulfill your purpose.

Seeded within you are the gifts, talents, skills, abilities, aptitudes, and sensibilities that uniquely equip you to accomplish that extraordinary thing you were born to do.

“Do not neglect the gift that is in you!”
1 Timothy 4:14

There is a divine mandate on your life. You have been entrusted with something so precious, so unique, and so significant that you and only YOU have the potential to bring it to pass.

Nobody else on the planet at any time in history can accomplish what you have been given to do within your lifetime.

It is the result of a divine inheritance specially earmarked for you; it defines a brand that is uniquely your own…and it will determine a legacy that only you can leave. 

“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God!”
2 Timothy 1:6

Don’t take your unique potential lightly. Don’t be complacent about what you are truly capable of. Be deliberate about pursuing and accomplishing all that God has for you. 

I often go back to that passage of Scripture to ground myself in what I need to do in each moment to stay at the ready and in position to make the most of every opportunity as it presents itself: 

“See that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence].”
Ephesians 5:15 AMP

I appreciate how the Amplified version highlights the values of “honor, purpose, and courage” as necessary components of living a lifestyle marked by God’s wisdom. 

The passage goes on…urging us not to be “foolish and thoughtless,” but firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is for our lives. 

And then offers a strategy for how:

“Be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.”
Ephesians 5:18 AMP

Earlier in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul talks about being filled with all the fullness of God. (See Ephesians 3:19.) 

Why? Because everything God is able to do “exceedingly abundantly above all [you] ask or imagine,” He does “according to the power that works in [you]” (Ephesians 3:20 AMP).

What’s that gift in you that you shouldn’t be neglecting? What’s that gift you should be stirring up?

It’s the power of God!

Now what does that say about your potential?

“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon YOU!”
Isaiah 60:1

Become An Imagineer!

“I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you to…”
Ephesians 1:18 TLB

This week in the United States, we celebrate the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We celebrate his life and legacy today because he had the ability to imagine a different future—and that ability changed the destiny of a nation and shaped the history of humanity. 

On August 28, 1963, before 250,000 people, Dr. King declared, “I have a dream!”

Do you have a dream?

A dream starts with a revelation of what is possible—made available through the power of your imagination.

If you missed Part Two of our new series—and have any desire at all to do something great with your life—you will want to watch the replay.

Click here or download the Cindy Trimm App to watch on the go! 

Can you imagine what God would do if we as believers discipline ourselves to harness the power of our visioneering capacity?

What would God reveal to us about not only the unfolding of our lives but the unfolding of the plans He has for our nation?

Many people want to live the American dream, but what if God wants to give you a dream for America?

What if God wants to show you what He can do through you to push your nation’s destiny back into alignment with His original plan and purpose?

God is a God of revelation. He wants to reveal things through you.

The word “revelation” comes from the Greek apokalupto, which means “to make known, make manifest; disclose what before was unknown.”

God withholds things until you have the capacity to unfold things.

Sometimes we are so blinded by our circumstances we miss what the Spirit is revealing.

Faith sees what the average person is blinded to.

Vision is a catalyst designed to activate your faith.

Vision takes you into the realm of faith.

God wants to change the landscape of your thoughts and give you a mental excursion of your future—and He does it all through the power of your imagination.

Your imagination is an ideas generator.

When your mind flourishes with new ideas and amazing possibilities, your life will flourish in an amazing way.

Whatever you imagine will emerge.

Vision requires the use of your imagination-—it is the mechanism through which you move toward an imagined future.

Where there is no flight of the imagination, there is no elevated future.

You must leverage the power of your imagination to convert future possibility into present reality.

You must become an imagineer!

A vision is God’s invitation to imagine the possibilities.

Imagination makes everything possible.
