The First Level of living is the level of a Slave.
Galatians 4:1-3 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave
although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by
the father. So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things
of the world.
Matthew 6:9-10 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
as long as the heir is a child he does not differ from a slave but is held in bondage under the
elemental things of this world.
As long as you are a spiritual baby, you will always live at the level of NOT ENOUGH-
being in bondage to the elemental things of this world-finances, problems, issues.
The Second Level of living is that of Sonship.
I John 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children
of God; and such we are.
Galatians 4:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through
God.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name,
The characteristic of the sonship level is Just Enough.
Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in
Christ Jesus
Matthew 6:30-33 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow
is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry
then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added
to you.
Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their
children begging bread.
We stay at the level of just enough because we can’t distinguish between God’s mercy and
God’s blessing.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good
measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
2 Corinthians 9:8,10-11 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all
times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work… Now he who supplies
seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will
enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be
generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
Another reason we don’t see God’s best in our lives is because we are convinced that it is
evil to have more than enough.
Matthew 7:11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Genesis 12:2 I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing
Psalm 35:27 And let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified, Who delights in the
prosperity of His servant.”
Psalm 112:1-3 How blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who greatly delights in His
commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be
blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.
Proverbs 10:22 It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.
Luke 16:10-11 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and
whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been
trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
Deuteronomy 8:7-10,12, 13 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land—a land
with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat
and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not
be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out
of the hills.
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has
given you. when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow
large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied
The Third Level of Living is the level of a soldier. The characteristic of this level is MORE
THAN ENOUGH.
Genesis 12:2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name
great, and you will be a blessing.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers
violence, and the violent take it by force.
2 Peter 1:3-4 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through
our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given
us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine
nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
God is inviting us to seek Him for a new year and new promises so that you may use them
to bring in a new level of life and abundance.
I Timothy 1:18-19 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the
prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding
on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck
Matthew 16:19 I have the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever God binds on earth will be
bound in heaven, and whatever God looses on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
God says that in the new covenant, you have the keys of the kingdom and you have the
authority to bind and loose God’s kingdom into your life, into your finances and into your
health.
Mark 11:23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’
and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for
them.
If you have authority in a situation, then God won’t touch that situation.
