No matter what you are facing, regardless of the impossibility of it, you can know what to do and be victorious in every area of your life.

Jesus said:
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak and He will disclose to you what is to come.

He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose it to you.
(John 16:7, 13-15)
The Holy Spirit working and moving in your life gives you the advantage in every situation. You don't have to roam around in the dark, not knowing what to do. You have a direct link to the throne of God and can receive clear direction for your life. You have unlimited possibilities!

Next month we expect to complete the third and final phase of our new International Headquarters on nine acres of property in the New Orleans area. This debt free construction has been the biggest faith project we have ever tackled, and it has been the easiest.

Many people told us it was impossible to build this seven million dollar construction without borrowing money, but our God specializes in doing the impossible! We have faced many challenges, but the Holy Spirit continues to give us the advantage every step of the way!

Do Not Look at the Circumstances!
Recently, I was reminded about the first office building that JDM purchased over ten years ago. Jesse had asked me to find a building to relocate our ministry headquarters. We'd outgrown the small offices that we were renting (less than 2,000 square feet) and knew that it was time to purchase our own building.

We had sown many seeds into building funds of churches around the nation and we were looking for our harvest. So I began scouting out the land and was determined to come back with a good report.

Every few days Jesse would ask me if I had found any buildings for him to look at. I didn't want to tell him that the more I searched, the more impossible the situation looked. Either the price was ridiculously high or it was in the middle of a junk heap.

Although there seemed to be nothing available, I knew that the Lord wanted us to stop renting and purchase a larger building to handle the growth that He would be sending to the ministry.

I was determined to not look at the circumstances and continued to trust the Holy Spirit. One day while praying for the building that didn't seem to exist in the natural, the Holy Spirit said, "Cathy, I have not hidden a building from you, I have hidden it for you!"

From that day, I had such a wonderful peace about the whole project. Although I could not see it in the physical, I thanked the Lord for our building that He had hidden for us.

At the time, I didn't realize that God was also hiding the building from others that would try to buy it. A miracle was in motion and God was working out every little detail.

I'll never forget the look on Jesse's face when I drove him to the building that God had hidden for us. It was a fabulous, antebellum style two story building with 11,000 square feet of office space.

When I told Jesse, "Wouldn't it be great if we could buy this property for $250,000.00?" Jesse thought that the bottom floor alone was worth more than that amount, but he said, "If that is what God is telling you, go for it!"

I found out that the building and property were originally valued at one million dollars, and began negotiations to buy our first ministry headquarters. Every step of the way, we relied upon the Holy Spirit to guide every word we said and prayed for favor with the bank and real estate people.

Miraculously, the bank accepted our offer of only $250,000.00, the exact figure God told us to pay. When you have the Holy Spirit working on your behalf, you always have the advantage. After all, it was not hidden from us, it was hidden it for us. Glory!

God gave us many miracles in every phase of the project, but I must tell you at least one in particular. After the act of sale, we found out that the bank had overlooked a previous purchase offer from a group of doctors that were renting space in the building.

When we introduced ourselves to the doctors as the new owners and told them they had to move out, they were shocked. They didn't know that a new bank had taken over the ownership and that their offer of $475,000.00 was no longer valid.

Of course they wanted to know how much more we had offered the bank than they did. When we told them we bought it for $250,000.00, it blew them away. It is great when you have the advantage and know someone in HIGH PLACES! God had hidden the building for us!

Refuse to Back Down!
When things look impossible, God is in a position to move in the realm of the miraculous. All He needs is someone that will believe His Word and refuse to back down.

It doesn't matter if you are at the edge of the Red Sea, the walls of Jericho or in a hospital bed. Your miracle is not hidden from you, it is hidden for you.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(1 Cor. 2:10-13)
God's Word is full of wonderful treasures for those that will dare to seek them out. If you need a physical healing, financial miracle, restoration of your marriage, deliverance or any good thing, God has a promise for you in His Word.

His blessings are not hidden from you, they are hidden for you in His Word. Make a commitment to study those things that have been freely given to you by God. The possibilities are limitless.
