Prayer and Teaching: The Little-By-Little Biblical Principle – How To Receive Your Suddenly

Prayer and Teaching: The Little-By-Little Biblical Principle – How To Receive Your Suddenly

This is a powerful teaching on how to stay in faith when things aren’t progressing as fast as you’d like in a certain area of your life. It’s important to trust God in the process and remember that He’s not delaying things, He’s arranging things!

Watch the video teaching below, and follow up by reading the scripture references, praying the two prayers, taking the self-evaluation, and making the bold, faith-filled declaration all designed to help you learn to increase your capacity to understand God’s plan and timing and how to partner with Him as you go through the little-by-little times and patiently wait for your SUDDENLY!

 

What is the BIBLICAL little-by-little principle?

But little by little, in due time, by the power of God, the children of Israel would defeat their enemies and possess the promised land. The “little by little” principle states that some things take more time than other things depending on your capacity to handle them or receive them. 

Scripture References

Exodus 23:30 

Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

Deuteronomy 7

20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished.

21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.

22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you.

23 But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.

24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.

When you have to wait a “little” while to see justice against the wicked:

Psalm 37:10

Do Not Envy Those who Do Wrong

9For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land. 10Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. 11But the meek will inherit the land and delight in abundant prosperity.…

When you are suffering or struggling in the “little” time of waiting:

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

Where in the Bible does it say “little” becomes much?

Exodus 4:2

For Moses it was a rod, for Samson the jawbone of a donkey, for David a sling – for a small boy his lunch. Whatever it is – little becomes much when you place it in the Master’s hands.

God expects you to take the “little” He gives you and manage it and multiply in faith and good stewardship (honesty and integrity) in an effort to show God He can trust you with more.

Luke 16:10

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager

9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. 10Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?…

Matthew 25:21

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

Luke 19:17

His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

WILL GOD ALSO MOVE SUDDENLY? YES!!! 

Isaiah 29:5

“But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushed like the finest of dust. Your many attackers will be driven away like chaff before the wind. Suddenly, in an instant,

Acts 2:2 

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Luke 2:13-14 

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill  toward men!”

Acts 16:26

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

Proverbs 3:25

You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,

Acts 9:3-4

As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”

 

Prayer Strategies

Prayer To Increase Your Capacity To Understand What The Lord Is Doing And To Receive Your Suddenly:
“Lord, I ask you to show me what you’re doing little by little and increase my capacity to understand it. How can I help accelerate this? How should I be praying? How can I be more faithful? How can I come to a greater capacity to be able to receive this? What can I do in my home to prepare my household to be able to receive it? How can I pray for and speak into my spouse, my child, my nation, or _______ situation? How do I prepare my ministry? How do I help get the people ready to receive it? How should I be partnering with your Holy Spirit to prepare the capacity? Lord, I want to get stronger. I want to be bolder. I want to be prepared when it’s time to take the promise!”

“Holy Spirit my helper, I ask in Jesus name that you to go to _______, and increase their capacity, Holy Spirit. Give them more understanding, and even though they’re not able to handle it all at once, increase the trickle to them, Holy Spirit. Give them more of the little-by-little, in Jesus’ name, amen!”

How To Pray When You Are Frustrated In The Waiting:
“Father God, forgive me for my frustration. I know you can do much with little. I know you have a plan for this person/situation _______, and I put them/it into your hands. What can you do with this person/situation _______, Lord? I’m in expectation of Your glory, and I will be obedient to do my part, in Jesus’ name, amen.”

Self Evaluation:

  1. How has God been moving little by little in your life?
  2. Are you increasing your capacity to receive the suddenly?
  3. How is your capacity increasing?
  4. What are you doing with the little that God is giving you?
  5. Are you being faithful with it?

Declaration:

Declare Out Loud:
“I declare that my capacity to receive from the Lord is being expanded swiftly, and quickly, and that I receive more faith, more boldness, more understanding, more anointing of the Holy Spirit. I open up my arms to receive. Lord, increase my capacity to receive, in Jesus’ name!”

Prayer For An Appeal In The Courts Of Heaven

Prayer For An Appeal In The Courts Of Heaven

Once you have been into the Courts of Heaven to repent for the sins of your generational bloodline, if the enemy is still coming against you or someone in your family, you need to enforce the blood of Jesus over your bloodline because the blood of Jesus is speaking a better word than any other word over your family.

Also, there are times that the Holy Spirit may bring something to your attention that needs to be repented for that you didn’t know about when you presented your original case.

If attacks are still happening or the Holy Spirit reveals something to you, it’s time to go back to the Courts of Heaven and either file an appeal or do a targeted repentance for that particular sin that He revealed to you. 

How To File An Appeal In The Courts Of Heaven

First, make sure to pray a cleansing prayer over yourself and anyone joining you to repent of any sin so the accuser can’t bring up your sin in the Courts of Heaven.

Pray Out Loud

“I’m coming before you, Father God, to request to come into the Court of Appeals with You about this situation in my family, _______. I ask You to remember the repentance I already prayed over my family bloodline. Remember that Your blood, Lord Jesus, is speaking a better word over my family bloodline now and this situation,  _______, cannot continue to be allowed in my family. The accuser has no legal right and must cease and desist all attacks or curses because it is written that a curse causeless cannot light. I ask for enforcements from the Courts of Heaven to enforce the verdict I already received of Not Guilty by the authority of Jesus Christ and the Anointing of The Holy Spirit, and I request angels on assignment for this matter in Jesus’ name.”

Prayer of Repentance for Family Farms and Land

Prayer of Repentance for Family Farms and Land

Giving our American farmers hope (and your family farm and the land of any nation)! 

I noticed since we’ve been praying over the land as a ministry and repenting for generational curses that the Lord has been showing me a lot of things about America’s farmers and how we should repent for the farmland.

One of the first things in repenting for the farmland is coming out of any covenants or agreements of leasing out the farmland to other countries or even other entities and canceling and renouncing those contracts and agreements, getting them under the blood of Jesus, even if they go back generations!  

Another revelation the Holy Spirit just gave me is that many farmers in America have put their faith in the Farmers’ Almanac instead of the word of God! If any farmer was led by the Almanac, they need to repent for that and ask for that sin to be covered by the blood of Jesus, including past generations! Ask in faith that the farmers be led by the Holy Bible in their life and farms now. 

I know the Farmers’ Almanac included horoscopes and other things that really are considered sorcery and witchcraft! I repented for my own family bloodline — any that were farmers — and my husband‘s family bloodline that had farms! I know I have bought a Farmers’ Almanac a couple of times. I renounced all of that and came out of agreement with it, asking the Lord Jesus to cover it all with His blood even going back through all my generations! 

I sat here just now and repented for all of America‘s farmers, going all the way back to the birth of our nation — for any of our farmers that put their faith in the Farmers Almanac instead of God. I asked that if anything was coming against our farmers’ land because of that, that the Lord would cover that with His blood, break any curses, and redeem the land back to its original intention and blessing for our families and our farmers here in America, in Jesus’ name!!

We encourage you to do a full land assignment on farmland, especially any farmland in your family. Learn how to do that HERE.

Pray Out Loud

Father, in the name of Jesus, we repent for all the farmers in America and all the farmland in America, going all the way back to its birth and going back all the way through the generations. We repent, Father God, for any divination, witchcraft, and any misleading of any faith that they put into the Farmers’ Almanac instead of You, Father God. We ask for grace, mercy, and forgiveness today, Father God. We ask for the blood of Jesus Christ to cover all these sins, and we ask for all these farmers, these family farms going back through the generations, and our farmland in America going all the way back to the birth of our nation to be released of all consequences of these sins, Father God. We ask that any curses and demonic assignments that came upon these family farms and American farmlands, Father God, be canceled, null and void by the blood of Jesus!  

We ask, Father God, that You would come in with Your mighty swift and terrible sword with Your angel armies and smite down and root out anywhere that this demonic plot has been operating against America’s farmers and farmland! 

Father God, we ask in Jesus’ name, that You would now smite down these python spirits, and remove and burn to ashes everything having to do with this python spirit connected to divination through the Farmers Almanac!!  

Father God, we ask that You would root out and chop at the root anything not bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit around our farms and farmers in this nation! Remove any evil influence from the Farmers’ Almanac that is pagan or demonic!! Root it out; chop it out according to Your Word, Father God, in Matthew 3:10!! Leave neither root nor branch or any bad fruit or any bad seeds from these demonic influences! 

We pray now that the Farmers’ Almanac be taken over again by Holy Spirit-filled people and anything pagan be stripped out of it. That all farmers and their land and farming practices will now return back to You, Father God, for their faith in You for their land, for their planting seasons, and their harvest seasons, Father, all for Your kingdom and Glory!! 

We decree our American farmland and our farmers belong to You, Father God. America belongs to Jesus Christ!! Let the blood of Jesus speak now a better word for our farmers and our farmland for generations to come, in Jesus’ name!
