#Breakthrough Anointing: The "First Things First" Process is Completed... TIME TO BREAK OUT!

SPIRITUAL BONUSES TO FIRST FRUITS GIVING:  Proves Your Faith and Brings Honor to God.

The principle is that all first things belong to God.  God has established certain firsts all throughout His Word:

First Commandment (Mk 12:29-30)
First Time of the Year (Ex 12:1-3)
First Born (Ex 13:1-2)
First Fruits (Ex 23:19)

Remember, a "first" is a fundamental principle or a basis supporting existence or determining essential structure or function.  It is the one thing that affects or governs everything that follows it.  If the first is holy, the remainder will be holy.

The law of first things is the giving over, arequired of all firsts!  They are an offering in faith and they prove the position in which teh giver holds God and is held by God.

Make God FIRST, and begin the process of Breakthrough Anointing...!   BREAKOUT.

#Breakthrough Anointing: It's About Time to Breakout, Have You Discovered First Things First...?

We cannot expect the multiple blessings of God to manifest in our lives if we are not holding up our end of the covenant.  While God will always fulfill His part, are you fulfilling yours?  There are specific requirements for all those who walk by faith.  You have to do it God's way.  Hosea 4:6 declares, "My people perish because of lack of knowledge."  What we don't know can destroy us.  You must have real knowledge and wisdom for the application of His patterns, principles and precepts to truly prosper.

What we learn from God's Word will sustain us, provide for us, care for our families and loved ones, give us victory, direct and protect our dream, set us free, bless us and so much more!

#Breakthrough Anointing: Discover the Protection of First Things First, 2 Days to Breakout

Anything you willingly offer up to the Lord will always come back as a blessing.  God has promises for you that cannot fail.  So people may see you in a pit, but they will also see God cause you to be triumphant over your circumstances and promoted to a palace if you don't quit during the process!  God wants to be magnified and show Himself big in your life that He may be glorified.

With that favor, God will also protext you as with a shield.  Not only will you be blessed, you will be protected.  It is the Lord who gives you the ability to get wealth - the power to prosper and to succeed in your unique destiny.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: First Things First, 3 Days to Break it Out!

Challenges will arise and there may be days of disappointment and difficulties -- lfie has ebbs and flows.  It is part of the rhythm to life.  Your "faith" does not prevent "life" from happening, but it will carry you  through it!  As a believer, you have been equipped to face whatever setback, obstacle or challenge comes your way through God and His Word... you can have the peace that passes all understanding even when things are rough.  You can have wisdom to navigate your life.  You can have a patience and longsuffering to stand firm under pressure.  You can have joy that far surpasses a happiness derived from external factors.  Anything that the enemy steals from you, there is restoration.

#Breakthrough Anointing: 4 Days to Aligning Yourself for a Purpose

The key is living according to God's patterns and principles.  You cannot plead promise and violate principles to see provision from God.  There are costs to attaining God's best.  If we want to have His greatest provisions, we must be willing and obedient to live a yielded and surrendered life.  We must be willing to give to God what we love the most.  Just as there are results for being out of alignment with God, there are rewards for keeping His divine patterns.  Following, or aligning yourself, with God's principles and policies brings positive results and a satisfied life.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing:5 Days to Confront and Conquer

If your life is spinning out of control, it is time to clear the clutter and put first things first according to God's patterns and principles...  You cannot conquer what you don't confront; you cannot confront what you don't identify.  What is throwing you off?  Fear?  Unhealthy relationships?  Finances?  Improper motives?  Your purpose or destiny?  Your emotions?  Poor health?  God has an arrangement for things in your life.  When something is arranged, it is put into a proper or systematic order.  God has a time and a purpose for everything.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 6 Days to Change the Lifestyle of Lack

God wants you to experience peace, hope, health, provision, wholeness and purpose.  In order to do so, He laid out His patterns and principles in His Word for us to follow and obey as we serve Him...  All the impossibility lies in us, when we measure God by the limitations of our own understanding.  So any time there is less than "life more abundant," it means we are living beneath our covenant privileges -- we're living short of God's desire and provision for our lives.  There may be seasons of "lack," but there should not be a lifestyle of it.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 7 Days to "Live the High Calling" Life

Are you ready to "live the High Calling" life God meant for you to live?  Are you ready to live an ultimate life with purpose, provision, blessings and fullness of His presence?  There is a high calling... an ascended life in Christ that is a way of life available for you.  To "ascend" is to "walk up" or "step up".  As you step forward, you are going to step up!  It doesn't matter where you are today or what your situation, the God I serve has an amazing life for you.  Nothing is impossible with God!

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 8 Days to Discover Your Money Has a Mission

God gives us the ability to get wealth for a purpose.  Your money has a mission.  Money without purpose is materialism.  The greatest purpose of financial prosperity is when you can begin to affect another person's destiny.  We are to leave our children an inheritance.  We are to enjoy a portion of the fruit of our labor.  The Word of God clearly shoes us how to manage and distribute the money with which we have been entrusted.  We have a mission to spread the news of His Kingdom, and the gospel of the Lord Jesus.  We are stewards over all He has trusted us with.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 9 More Days to Discover the Power of the Breakthrough

We have established that it is the first fruits offering that "gives you power to get wealth".  (Deut. 8:18).  By putting the Lord in the proper place in your life, you release the promises of His blessings.  But those blessings serve a purpose.  When we are blessed, God is magnified and establishes His covenant with His people.

#Breakthrough Anointing: Remembering God FIRST, 10 More Days to Start!

Remember God as first in all things.  When you bring your lfie into alignment with what the Word of God says about you, then you will find teh pattern of your life.  We see God as being all-powerful, all-wise, all-loving and eternal.  But we should also see Him as our Rock among the shifting sands of life.  See Him as the Balm of Gilead in the midest of your sickness.  See Him as your Provider in the midst of your lack.  When you first fruits the Lord, you are positioning yourself for just that!

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 11 More Days to Start "First Things First"

When God give you revelation, that revelation causes you to move out in faith.  When revelation hits your spirit, you don't just sit in the boat and watch everybody else walk on water.  You say to yourself, "If they can walk on water, so can I!"  Like our father of faith, Abraham, who demonstrates in Romans Chapter 4 that he had hope when there seemed to be no hope, you must start calling those things that are not as though they are.  Start speaking and agreeing with the fact that everything you need has already been provided - all godliness and all spiritual blessings have already been given to you.  You just need to walk in it.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 13 Days to Breakthough of First Things First

The battle between the spirit and flesh permeates every area of our lives.  (Eph. 6:12).  Your problem is not always your boss... your neighbor... your spouse... or your pastor.  Your problem can be the enemy of your soul who is battling to gain control of your life and your mind in order to rob you of all that God wants to give you.  You will be challenged and tried, but you cannot fight a spiritual battle in the natural.  You must deal with your problems in the realm of the spirit, through God's word.

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: Discovering First Things First in 14 Days

Everything that has life, peace and abundance, you can trace back to a decision made with a spiritual mind.  Look at the fruit of your life.  What do you see?  Are your thoughts in alignment with God's Word?  Are your relationships in alignment with God's Word?  Are your emotions and soul in alignment with God's Word?  Is your physical body in alignment with God's Word?  Is your life and financial responsibility in alignment with God's Word? 


If you are to prosper as your soul prospers, you must examine what condition your soul -- that is your mind, will and emotions -- is in.  It's the attitude of the heart that manifests itself on the outside.

Reasons for Lack...  If you've tried to clear the clutter in your life before you found yourself back in the same situation over and over again, there may be other deeper issues in your life that need rooting out.  Your life will be sabotaged until you can "locate" and discover what it is that obstructs your fullest potential.

An unteachable spirit.
Laziness.
Ignorance.
Oppressing the poor.
Misfortune.
Disobedience.

Part of getting "first things first" is to identify those things in your life that may be holding you back from walking in God's best.

#Breakthrough Anointing: 16 More Days... First Things First

The law of first things is the giving over, as required of all firsts!  They are an offering in faith, and they prove the position in which the giver holds God and is held by God.  In Exodus 33, God installed requirements in His system of Lordship to ensure their confession was more than mere words.  He established ways for His children to prove that He is first!  The requirements were the Ten Commandments, the structure of the ritual of sacrifice, the statues of the Tabernacle and what we call... "The Law of First Things!"

Excerpt from "First Things First" by Pastor Paula White

#Breakthrough Anointing: 23 Days of "First Things First"

God guarantees you these wonderful promises by His Word.  That's all He needs.  God cannot break His Word.  We can choose whether we will obey or disobey His commands.  They are laid out to us for blessing... for an empowered and fulfilling life.  They are laid out with consequences.  If we choose not to obey the instructions God gives us, we face the consequences of those decisions.

We must have a fresh revelation of God's truth from His Word.  We need to understand His covenant and His principles if we are going to walk in His fullness.  We must see through the eyes of God with His perception.  Without seeing from the perspective of God we can become frustrated, and wasteful of time, energy and talents.

#Breakthrough Anointing: 25 Days of Breakout... Doing "First Things First"

God will hedge you in with favor.  Do you know what favor is?  Favor is the kingdom of God giving you "undeserved access".  God's favor takes you places and puts you in positions you could possibly never go on your own.  It will take an orphan girl by the name of Esther and make her a queen for "such a time as this".  Favor will raise you up out of obscurity into notoriety.  Favor will cause Boaz ("a dream man" for a husband) to find you, Ruth.  Favor will pull you out of the pit and put you into a palace, Joseph.  Favor will turn your famine into a feast.  Favor will promote you.  It will put you in association with the right people.  It will give you access to places that have been closed off to you.  It will do for you what your resume cannot do for you -- what money, a mate, or ministry cannot do for you but the grace of God can do.

God has good things for you -- He wants you to be blessed.  That si why He tells you exactly how to go about receiving His abundance. (Deut. 28:2-13, NIV)

Essentially every aspect of life is included in the blessing of Deuteronomy 28.  Moses gave great detail in this passage to explain the blessings available to the children of Israel before they even took their first steps into the land of promise.

God has a plan.  That plan is always working.  And that plan includes you!  God has a BIG LIFE for you.  He has designed a life of wholeness, one that is blessed and successful, for you to enjoy -- one that has peace and purpose, joy, goodness, completeness, wealth, health and fullness.

#Breakthrough Anointing: Don't Stop 'Til You Break it Out... 28 Days of "First Things First"

God has an order and a plan for you.  To be in harmony with the will of God and attain the highest state of purpose for your life, you must follow God's precepts.  If you fail to keep God first, your life can become out of balance and out of order.

Many precious believers have bypassed and overlooked the principle of first fruits in God's Word, perhaps not intentionally but unknowingly.  If it's important to God, it must be important to us!  God is the only One who has the power to give wealth, which is the word of wholeness that is nothing missing and nothing broken, and blessings -- that is a life of empowerment.  But it is exciting to know that He has given us the knowledge we need to receive those blessings.  His truths are available to you.  His commands and blessings are outlined in God's Word for all who will search them out to see.

#Breakthrough Anointing: 29 Days of Breakthrough with "First Things First"

All that God creates is "perfect," including you!  You were created with God-intended position and purpose.  That intentiom will not change.  In other words, as a surrendered, yielded life, if something is not supposed to be a part of your destiny, it will not be.  You cannot lose what is suppose to be a part of your destiny and you cannot keep what is NOT a part of it.

Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that, "many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."  What waste of time, energy and talent when God's ultimate intention will always succeed!

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Mt. 6:33)

"Seek first" is a foundation principle that has changed my life...  Keep first things first, and God will take care of the rest.

When you put God first by obeying His principles and following His divinely established patters, your life becomes aligned with His plan and purpose.  But all too often, we get thrown off-track by the worries and clutter of life.  You see, when we step out of God's perfect plan, we get off-balance.
