PLUNDERING THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF DARKNESS

The death of Christ at Calvary was a phenomenon that shook hell to its roots. The kingdom of darkness knew that finally all was lost. Everything that they had held on to after the fall was no longer theirs to hold, but God had made a legal way to take back what was rightfully his. This included his people (you and I) and his world. By the death of Christ on the cross, the earth and the whole UNIVERSE was taken back by God. Calvary was so much more than the saving of the souls of men. It put the world to rights again as God had created it.

Isaiah 53:5 says that the chastisement for our peace was upon him. Peace is the Hebrew word shalom meaning “Nothing missing, Nothing broken.” Your life should be filled with all the things that Christ died for you to have and this includes the wealth he created for us to enjoy freely. I was reading Genesis 2 and the Lord said to Adam and Eve in the garden, “of every tree in the garden you may freely eat…” God wants you to freely enjoy what he created for you. There was no lack in Eden. Whatever they had need of they just freely picked and enjoyed. It shall be your portion in this lifetime. Whatever you have need of, take and freely eat in Jesus name.

When the Lord sent Moses to Egypt to get his people he told him on three different occasions to ensure that the Israelites did not leave the Land without gold, silver and articles of clothing. 3 times the Lord said this as clearly as he could.

Exodus 3:21-22
“And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed. But every woman shall ask of her neighbor namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Exodus 11:2 – 3a
“Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold. And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians…”

Exodus 12: 35-36
“Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.”

God wants his children to plunder the wealth of the enemy because wealth is power. If we had all the money we needed to serve the Lord, to do his will, to serve humankind and lead many souls to Christ. How would this world be? Yet God says that is possible. Ask for the Silver. Ask for the Gold. Ask for articles of clothing and God will give you favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Your success will be extra ordinary in the sight of men.
