Who Hit Me Who Hit Me

This is the last of my revelations for one day. This one is a doosy.
So I'm standing in this prayer meeting and I'm praying about prosperity and all that Christiany stuff. You know, pleading the blood, all things are possible. All the stuff that we GOOD christians are supposed to be praying. I turned to a passage in my Thinline Bible, Deuteronomy 28. Ah, I love this section, it speaks all about the blessings  of God. I love to read it when I am really battling. And to tell you the truth I've been battling alot these last few months. My finances are a wreck, for a rich guy, and my body is a wreck, for a divinely whole chap.
So, as I'm reading and prophecying (that means speaking encouraging words ) about the blessings that I just know God wants to lavious upon me, I get this total download from ON HIGH. I hear this voice that says, "Why do you keep praying this same prayer over and over again? You've already got this stuff." Whoa!!! What in the heck was that? What do you mean, "Why do I keep praying these prayers?" I've always been taught to claim the promises of God and that by doing so you are walking in your inheritance because you are proclaiming it out loud.
Once again I hear this voice that said. "Yeah, and you do proclaim my goodness but I've already provided it for you. Now stop proclaiming and check out what is preventing you from claiming your inheritance!!!" Outstanding, I had to chew on that one for a bit. You mean to tell me that there is something that is hindering my inheritance for me and my family? I get it now. It's like someone holding out a juicy ripe fruit in front of you and telling you that here it is yours just take it and between you and the fruit there is a goat that is determined that you aint getting that delicious fruit.
I've been missing the boat on this one. Instead of claiming the fruit, I should be battling the goat. Instead of continually only looking at the prize. I need to watchout for the horns that keep stabbing me in the stomach and punching me in the solar plexes. Paul, the apostle said that he kept his eye on the prize yes but he also said to be weary of an evil force that was lurking around waiting to get those who weren't aware that he was truly there.
My prayer changed. I stopped praying for prosperity and started binding and loosing. I stopped worryin about getting more and started to focus on defeating those arrows that have been ravishing my body and my family. No longer am I on the defense but now I am on the offense. I'm off of the give me more God kick and on the put me in the game coach, I want to kick some butt.
You can't go around life waiting for things to happen. Even in a spiritual sense. You aren't command to wait on the Lord like stand still and wait. You are commanded to be ever looking for His direction. That is active waiting. When you are actively waiting you are moving forward, as a door opens up you move through it. When another door opens up, you move through it. All the while you are taking land. You are acquiring property.
