"The Economy Of God"

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 55

In the economy of God, money is not needed. The currency is faith.

Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let Him that heareth say, Come. And let Him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let Him take the water of life freely."

God has placed this currency of faith in every man or woman to be used to come to Him. It is called the sixth sense. None of our original five senses can bring us into God’s economy. We cannot use our five  physical senses to profit in the economy of God. In his economy, God does not accept our logical senses . He only accepts faith in exchange for whatever we need.If I go to the store and I have money, I can buy whatever I need out of what the store offers. If I go to God and I have faith, I can get whatever I need, and God offers everything.

Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

Come and buy whatever you need, in the economy of God, with your faith.

Isaiah writes.

Let's read.

Isaiah 55:1 "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."

God is the supplier. The currency is faith. He supplies everything we need if we believe Him. He created the universe by His word. If His word is received by faith, He will manifest for us everything we need. The word of God will always manifest His intend purpose. The Word of God about salvation will manifest salvation if received. The Word of God about healing will manifest healing if received. The word of God about provision will manifest provision if received. If received how? If received by faith! Notice that receiving the Word of God is receiving Jesus Christ. Receiving Jesus Christ is receiving salvation. Receiving Jesus Christ is receiving healing. Receiving Jesus Christ is receiving provision.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 55:2-3 "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. [3] Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."

The economy of God rests on the new covenant, the everlasting covenant. The first or old covenant was between God and the first Adam, which was broken in the Garden of Eden. The second covenant is between God and His Word (the second Adam), which was established on the cross of Calvary. This is the everlasting covenant. It is through this covenant that God establishes salvation, healing, and daily provision. God no longer provides for man through the covenant with the first Adam, but through the covenant with the second Adam (His Word).

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 55:4-5 "Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. [5] Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee."

Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, has taken the place of the First Adam as the leader and commander of the Jew and the Gentile through a new established covenant. His covenant was cut by the shedding of His blood on the cross for the entire world.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 55:6-11 "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. [10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: [11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

The Word of God shall accomplish and manifests exactly what it says. The word of God or DNA in an apple will manifest only apples, no matter how many millions of years. The word of God in corn will bear corn and only corn, no matter how many years. The Word of God in healing will bring healing to any soul who receives it by faith. The word of God in salvation will save anyone who will receive by faith.

We conclude our reading.

Isaiah 55:12-13 "For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. [13] Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."

For the word of God is life, and life brings resurrection from the dead. The word of God will bring any dead thing to life. It changes thorns and thistles in the bloodline of the first Adam into mulberry and blueberry trees in the bloodline of the second Adam. The bloodline of the first Adam does not believe the word of God and so is a bloodline of death. The bloodline of the second Adam believes and has received the Word of God and has become to them life and life more abundant.

BELIEVE and receive Jesus as the Word of God, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. In the economy of God, faith is all that is needed, in Christ!
