([Location 258](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=258)) - If you’re going to walk with God, you’re going to have to accept some things you don’t understand because God will confound the mind to test the heart. That means He will do things you do not understand just to see if you will love Him and trust Him anyway. ([Location 279](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=279)) - A Hebrew mindset is the mind of one who has been transformed by the truth of God. ([Location 283](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=283)) - The Hebrew mindset operating principle is trust in God. When you understand that God has chosen you and is watching over you; you are led into a totally different way of thinking and living, which may seem foolish to the world. ([Location 311](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=311)) - Meditating on the Word fills your mind with the thoughts of God. The result is that your mind is transformed. ([Location 360](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=360)) - you think you are smart enough to get where you need to be, or that your intellect is strong enough to overcome any obstacle to bring you into your destiny, you have a Greek mindset. If you think you must figure out God and get every point of doctrine right, you are sadly deceived. That is a Greek mindset ([Location 372](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=372)) - Blessing is the anointing of God to release increase, prosperity, and the multiplication of all that is good and pleasant in life. ([Location 438](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=438)) - Dominion Rest is the rest that comes when you have taken dominion of your appointed inheritance. ([Location 646](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=646)) - To enter Dominion Rest, you must war and labor and, at times, struggle. ([Location 666](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=666)) - You only experience Dominion Rest when your enemies have been defeated. Be aware that the enemy always tries to occupy your inheritance—just like the Canaanites occupied the Promised Land. But when you drive the enemy from your inheritance, you enter Dominion Rest. ([Location 668](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=668)) - We enter Dominion Rest through our work. We enter Sabbath Rest through His work. ([Location 696](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=696)) - Spring is the time to plant, and in biblical times, spring was also the season for kings to go to war. (II Samuel 11:1) Summer is the time to tend and nurture the crops. In biblical times, summer was a time when the king was in the field; and the people had full access to speak with him face-to-face without all the protocol required at the palace. Fall is the time for harvest, and winter is the time to plan for increase in the next cycle. ([Location 715](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=715)) - The Feast of Passover begins the biblical calendar. Marking the first month in God’s cycle of redemption is a cluster of three closely related feasts:  Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits. ([Location 766](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=766)) - The Feast of Pentecost (or Shavuot) held in the third month of the biblical calendar is a tri-fold celebration, thanking God for His provision.

([Location 772](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=772)) - So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David until the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations…(fourteen is the number of deliverance)…and from the captivity of Babylon until Christ are fourteen generations.” ([Location 1225](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1225)) - When the fullness of blessing enters the earth realm, between heaven and earth, I am aligned under that flow of fullness. This is how time works, so you must learn how to stay in time. ([Location 1230](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1230)) - Satan comprehends time better than we do. He knows exactly how to destroy unity. He is a legalist. He has expert knowledge of law structures and knows how to use them against us. ([Location 1325](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1325)) - In one “chosen” day God intervened in someone’s life to produce a tribe. Whether this person was Jacob, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, or Joseph with the daughter of the priest of On; God had to intervene. Don’t miss your "chosen” days. Otherwise, you will miss the movement of your tribe. ([Location 1406](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1406)) - God observes our reaction to the circumstances He sends into our lives. ([Location 1468](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1468)) - The tribes are just an extension of God’s intervention with one man in the earth realm. You have been grafted into that intervention. ([Location 1470](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1470)) - You will either be like the serpent or else you will learn to keep your heel on the serpent. ([Location 1706](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1706)) - Just as Abraham did with Melchizedek, you have to find someone to give to that is more warranted than yourself. You cannot enter into blessings if you’re the top of your blessing chain. ([Location 1762](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1762)) - These three tribes formed the rear guard not because of their military skill but because they brought the glory of God! Their lack of military strength did not diminish their importance to the nation. ([Location 1912](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1912)) - The Bible says spring is a time of war. That doesn’t mean you won’t war at other times, but spring is traditionally the opportune time for war. Summer is a time to tend your crops. Some crops are harvested in the summer, but primarily this is a time to work and wait, in expectation, for the harvest that’s to come. Fall is a season of harvest and fulfillment and a time for joy and thankful celebration. Then we move into winter, a time to enjoy the fruit of your labor and to prepare for planting again. ([Location 1992](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=1992)) - What you find is that in your spirit, you become the Ark. You carry the covenant that was always intended to be carried in the earth. ([Location 2079](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=2079)) - God will always come down to visit at certain points in your building process. He knows when you’re building something that is greater than His plan for the future, and He will intervene in whatever manner is necessary. ([Location 2125](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=2125)) - God already has made a big promise over Abram, but He is not yet fully backing him. God can have a big promise over your life but not fully back you until He knows you have kept going one more step. ([Location 2145](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=2145)) - In Hebrew Psalm 100:4 is even more impressive, using four different words for praise: “Enter His gates… with THANKSGIVING – TOWDAH and His courts with PRAISE – TEHILAH GIVE THANKS to Him – YADAH BLESS His name! – BARAK God is telling us that we need to come into His presence with an overflow of every kind of praise. ([Location 2474](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=2474)) - You can be an incredible manager and not be detailed in the way you function personally.

([Location 2654](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=2654)) - Accept your call and speak forth your destiny this month. A lot of people do not know how to speak out who they are and what they are destined to accomplish and that is why they fall into negativity. ([Location 3082](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01BDX4WEW&location=3082)) - I have always liked who I am in the Lord. If I don’t like myself, it would mean there is something about the Lord that I don’t like. The Lord made you and you have to come to peace with whom you are—His creation. If we never find our redemptive role in life, we stay miserable over an identity that we have never tapped into. If you are not careful, you will speak evil reports about yourself as a result of something created in the atmosphere.
