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:

1. The Word of God is the key to the laws of the Spirit.
2. The laws of the Spirit govern the laws of the natural.
3. 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).

Isaiah 49:25
NKJV—But thus says the Lord: “Even the
captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
and the prey of the terrible be delivered; for I
will contend with him who contends with you,
and I will save your children.”

AMP—For thus says the Lord: Even the
captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
and the prey of the terrible will be delivered;
for I will contend with him who contends with
you, and I will give safety to your children and
ease them.

NIV—But this is what the Lord says: “Yes,
captives will be taken from warriors, and
plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend
with those who contend with you, and your
children I will save.”

NAS—Surely, thus says the Lord, “Even the
captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; for
I will contend with the one who contends with
you, and I will save your sons.”

Matthew 18:1-6
KJV—At the same time came the disciples
unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little
child unto him, and set him in the midst of
them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except
ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child, the same is greatest in the
kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive
one such little child in my name receiveth
me. But whoso shall offend one of these little
ones which believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and that he were drowned in the depth
of the sea.

Mark 10:13-16
KJV—They brought young children to him,
that he should touch them: and his disciples
rebuked those that brought them. But when
Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said
unto them, Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of
God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands
upon them, and blessed them.

His righteousness is to children’s children—to
such as keep His covenant [hearing, receiving,
loving, and obeying it] and to those who
[earnestly] remember His commandments to
do them [imprinting them on their hearts].

so the Eternal pities his worshippers. . . The
Eternal’s love is everlasting, his loyalty goes

compact and remember to do his bidding.

children, so the Lord has compassion on those
who fear him.… From everlasting to everlasting

and remember to obey his precepts.

from my orders.”

NIV—When I was a boy in my father’s house,
still tender, and an only child of my mother,
he taught me and said, “Lay hold of my words
with all your heart; keep my commands and
you will live.”

strong ground for confidence; his very children
win security.
