At this point, let me emphasize Satan’s part is this. When
you hear the Word, when you learn to believe God—especially
in the area of giving—you become dangerous to Satan! Jesus
taught that the sower sows the Word and Satan comes immediately
to take out the Word which was sown (see Mark 4:1-20).
Why? For three basic reasons:
- The Word of God is the key to the laws of the Spirit.
- The laws of the Spirit govern the laws of the natural.
- Satan works in the natural world.
When you take the power of these laws and function them
by faith, Satan is finished! When you learn the rules of the
game, he is through. He is a defeated foe!
Let me mention that these laws of prosperity will work for
anyone, regardless of their age! My children operate them just
as successfully as my wife and I. They have learned God’s system
of finance and can absolutely believe God for anything in
the world and get it! I remember when we needed a van for the
ministry to carry our equipment. My daughter Kellie came to
me and said, “Daddy, I want to be the first to give money for
this truck.” She had a couple of dollars, so she gave it, and we
made an agreement together. Then she started confessing the
return on her money and got it! It didn’t take her several
months, and she didn’t start whining about it—she simply said,
“In the Name of Jesus, it’s mine!”
One day our little boy, who was about 6 years old at the time,
came in and said, “Daddy, I want to give my money.” No one had
said anything to him, he just came through leadership of the
Lord. He doesn’t fully realize that God is directing him, he just
responds to it. He’s a child. (This is how we are to respond as
children in obedience.) He gave his money into the ministry and
began believing God for the return. A few days later, he got it! A
6-year-old boy! It works for him proficiently! Why? Because he
is a born-again believer filled with the Holy Spirit. He is a child
of God, and he has a right to work these laws. It isn’t a man’s age
that causes the law of gravity to work; the law of gravity works
because gravity is a force. Remember, faith is a spiritual force and
works by spiritual law (see Romans 3:27).
