Isaiah 61:7 – “Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs.”  NASU

Previously we laid a foundation for The Law of Double Portion and now it is our objective to consider some of the inner workings of ‘Double Portion Blessings’ and how they relate to today’s believer in 2014.  I personally believe that we are living in the time of THE DOUBLE:  Double Rain, Bread, Anointing, and Restoration spiritually.  It is my personal conviction that if we catch this in our spirits we will develop a hunger and thirst for the things of God in a new and deeper measure and elevate our anticipation spiritually.

If I could guard against anything it would be to keep us from ‘stagnating’ in history (memories) of what used to be and from ‘fanaticizing’ in futuristic dreams and wishes about what God MIGHT DO someday.  Instead I desire for us to take history and use it as a foundation and anchor to walk into what God IS DOING and bring those dreams and aspirations into current realities – POSSESSING THE PROMISES!

As stated previously this DOUBLE PORTION is something good!  It is not like the cartoon, ‘The Wizard of Id’, I saw some time ago where the short, fat, squat King is trying out his speech to one of his servants and tells him:  “I’m going to try my speech out on you.  You listen and when you hear something wrong you stop me.”  He began:  “My fellow peasants.”  The servant immediately said:  ‘WRONG!’  Then the king went before the crowd and said:  “I promise you two cows in every barn, two chickens in every pot.  In short, whatever you have I will give you double.”  Two peasants below were listening and one said to the other:  “Good deal, eh Ernie?”  The other said:  “You call a quadruple hernia a good deal?”

That raises a very important point about this DOUBLE PORTION.  It really does matter what you are getting DOUBLED.  Today, I want to embark on the ‘responsibility’ of receiving the DOUBLE PORTION from God.

Zechariah 9:12 – – We are called ‘Prisoners of Hope’.  God has promised that He will render DOUBLE to us.  That is a very powerful prospect and thought.

We need to ‘desire’ God’s Blessings be poured out in our lives and I would say that most do, but is it a ‘consuming passion’?  We need to ‘desire’ for God to use us in His Kingdom and I readily acknowledge that a person could have a wrong, selfish desire in all this but I do not believe that is you.  If we do not ‘hunger’ and ‘thirst’ we will not be filled!

There is assuredly nothing wrong with wanting to ‘know’ more about God and ‘know’ God more!  There is nothing wrong with wanting to be ‘blessed’ more, ‘used’ more, ‘have’ more.  It is okay to want God to bestow upon you so that you can give more in terms of ‘money, anointing, power, and revelation’.  The focus is not you it is the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.  So, today, I want to begin dealing with the ATTITUDES not just ACTIONS.  My motivation is we can be ADJUSTED in our walk so that God can use us in a dynamic manner in the days to come.  I fully believe that you desire that!

Next session we will take up the seven (7) examples given previously of the DOUBLE PORTION and focus on the ‘responsibilities’ and ‘privileges’ in them.  Hopefully it will be informative and exciting.  So until next time, may God go with you in all you do!  BLESSINGS!
