For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you”.
Jeremiah 29
Introduction: The Lie That Stole Your Joy
For years, you’ve been told,
“Money can’t make you happy.”
And perhaps you believed it.
Perhaps you tried to be content with less,
tried to worship without abundance,
tried to smile through the strain of never having enough.
But what if that statement isn’t wisdom—it’s a wound?
What if it’s not holy—but habitual?
What if the real truth is this:
Money, when rightly believed in—not loved—can absolutely contribute to your happiness.
It’s time to break the lie.
It’s time to break the shame around financial peace.
To stop apologizing for wanting enough.
To stop defending your pain as though it were piety.
To stop calling what is broken “blessed,” when it is actually just… broken.
At the wedding in Cana, Jesus did not preach about holiness through sacrifice.
He rescued a celebration by performing a quiet financial miracle.
Wine had run out—a symbol of festivity, luxury, and dignity.
And without being asked by the groom, Jesus intervened.
He made better wine than anyone had tasted before.
But here’s what the story doesn’t usually emphasize:
The groom had no idea his situation had changed for the better.
Everyone else tasted the joy before he did.
But the miracle had already happened.
This book is for those who still believe they are waiting.
Waiting for money.
Waiting for peace.
Waiting for the permission to feel good again.
But the truth is this:
Your financial miracle may have already begun.
God may be speaking to your life the way Jesus spoke to the water:
“Be filled.”
And it’s time for you to stop arguing with your breakthrough.
What This Book Is Really About
This book is not about chasing wealth for the sake of power.
It is about reclaiming joy that has been robbed by shame.
It is about recognizing the difference between the soul, which fears money,
and the spirit, which can believe in money without bowing to it.
It’s about realizing that:
- Money can create stability.
- Money can reduce stress.
- Money can provide health, safety, and rest.
- Money can buy time, freedom, and access to do good.
If that doesn’t contribute to your happiness—what will?
This book will teach you how to think differently.
It will invite you to believe again.
To imagine again.
To receive again.
You are the groom.
The miracle is already in motion.
And the best has been saved for now.
The Miracle You Didn’t See Happen
There is a quiet moment in every believer’s life when heaven has already moved—but the soul has not yet caught up.
That moment is often disguised as silence, stillness, or even lack.
It looks like nothing is happening. But beneath the surface, water is already turning to wine.
This book is written for those who feel they’ve run out—out of strength, out of money, out of clarity.
You are not empty.
You are being filled to the brim.
The miracle is not coming—it has already begun.
The story of the wedding at Cana is not just about Jesus’ first public sign.
It is a parable of perception.
In that sacred feast, everyone was involved, but only a few were aware.
The servants obeyed, the master tasted, the guests rejoiced.
But the groom, the one most blessed by the miracle, was the last to know.
This is the mystery of divine provision:
your soul may be unaware, but your spirit has already seen it.
You are not waiting for your situation to change—you are awakening to the change that has already come.
This book will take you through the stages of awareness, dividing soul and spirit through the light of God’s Word.
It will teach you how to listen like Mary, obey like the servants, and eventually recognize, like the groom, that the best has been saved for you until now.
You are not behind. You are not forgotten.
You are simply being awakened to a miracle that already happened.
Chapter 1
The Hidden Celebration
God begins miracles in places we overlook.
A wedding is a celebration of covenant, joy, and new beginnings. Yet the miracle of Cana did not begin in the temple, the synagogue, or the wilderness. It began in a place of festivity, where people were laughing, dancing, and unaware that lack was drawing near.
So it is with many of us. Outwardly, things seem fine. The party is still going. The surface of life is bright. But underneath, something is running out. Maybe it’s your finances, your faith, your hope. And no one notices—not even you—until the moment the jars are empty.
Jesus chose this moment for His first miracle to teach us something profound: transformation often begins in hidden, ordinary spaces. You do not have to be in crisis for the Lord to act. You don’t need to understand your need for Him to meet it. He begins before you notice. He moves before you ask.
Notice this: the groom didn’t invite the miracle. He wasn’t even aware he needed one. Jesus came as a guest—but carried the power of heaven within Him. The Word was present, even before the problem was revealed.
This is how miracles often arrive—in the background, unnoticed, while life feels normal. You may not feel prophetic. You may not feel holy. But the Holy One has already entered your house.
Your soul is looking at the decorations. Your spirit is listening to the shift in the air. Something is changing. Heaven has stepped in quietly, not to interrupt the celebration, but to sustain it.
Before your soul ever sensed the lack, your spirit had already received the answer. The guests didn’t know. The master of the banquet didn’t know. The groom didn’t know. But Jesus knew. And He brought the solution with Him before the problem ever appeared.
This is the first step in spiritual awareness: realizing that God does not wait for us to be desperate before He acts. He arrives before the wine runs out. He comes as a guest, but He is the host of heaven. He is not late. He is already present, already working, already providing.
Let the soul keep celebrating. Let the spirit begin watching.
You are not abandoned. You are not forgotten.
The Miracle-Maker is already in your midst.
“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” —Isaiah 65:24
“Jesus was invited to the wedding…” —John 2:2
Chapter 2
When the Wine Runs Out
Lack is not the end. It is the beginning of awareness.
There is a moment in every journey of faith when the soul feels the first tremor of insufficiency. The laughter continues. The music plays. But something is missing. The jar is lighter than it should be. The future seems uncertain.
This is the moment when the wine runs out.
In Cana, it wasn’t a famine or a war that signaled the need for Jesus’ power. It was something simple: the supply for joy had dried up. The celebration could no longer sustain itself. That is where the miracle begins—not in catastrophe, but in quiet depletion.
Many miss their miracle because they misread this moment. The soul panics. The soul accuses. The soul imagines it has been abandoned. But the spirit is listening. The spirit knows what the soul does not: emptiness is not the enemy—it is the invitation.
Notice that Jesus did not make wine appear before the shortage. He allowed it to run out first. Why? Because as long as the soul still feels full, it resists divine intervention. The soul wants to manage, perform, fix, and save face. But when the last drop is gone, the illusion is shattered. Then, and only then, can the spirit rise to the surface.
Mary said it plainly: “They have no more wine.” There was no begging, no fear, no shame. Just truth. And this is what your spirit is learning to say—even when your soul would rather pretend. “There is no more strength. There is no more strategy. There is no more supply.” And that truth is holy.
Awareness begins in honesty. God does not require you to be strong, wise, or wealthy. He simply waits for the soul to admit what the spirit already knows. You cannot supply yourself. But He can.
What you sense now—this emptiness—is not death. It is preparation. The end of your wine is not the end of the celebration. It is the start of the supernatural.
When your soul mourns what is missing, let your spirit rejoice in what is coming.
When the wine runs out, the Word gets ready to speak.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” —2 Corinthians 12:9
“When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Him, ‘They have no more wine.’” —John 2:3
Chapter 3
The Voice of Intercession
Your spirit knows before your soul understands.
The wine is gone—but panic does not come. Instead, a voice rises. It is not the groom. It is not the guests. It is not even the master of the banquet. It is Mary.
Mary sees what others do not. She feels the shift in the atmosphere. She discerns what is missing, not with her natural eyes but with spiritual sensitivity. Mary, the mother of Jesus, moves in the role of the intercessor.
She does not make an announcement. She does not cause a scene. She turns to Jesus and simply says, “They have no more wine.”
This is how the spirit intercedes for the soul. It senses the lack before the soul does. It speaks to the Word before the situation escalates. It doesn’t need the whole room to know—only Heaven.
Your soul may still be managing appearances. Your soul may be rehearsing plans. But deep within you, your spirit is already whispering: “We’re empty. And we need Him.”
There is no shame in this voice. There is no fear. There is only truth and trust. Mary’s voice is calm, clear, and confident. She knows her Son. She knows He will act. And this is what your spirit has begun to know too.
Even when your soul hesitates—your spirit intercedes. Even when your mind wrestles with the silence—your spirit reaches for the Savior.
There are times when the miracle begins not with your prayer, but with the spirit’s cry on your behalf. Romans 8:26 says that the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Your breakthrough may not begin with your understanding. It may begin with your spirit groaning to Jesus in the secret place.
Mary does not wait for permission. She does not wait for the groom to ask. She simply goes to the Source. Your spirit, aligned with Heaven, always goes first.
And now—so can you.
Let the soul observe. Let the mind wonder. But let the spirit speak.
Let your inner Mary arise.
Let the intercession begin.
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” —Romans 8:26
“Jesus’ mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’” —John 2:3
Chapter 4
The Hour That Hasn’t Come (Yet)
Delay is not absence. It is alignment.
Jesus hears His mother’s voice. He hears the cry of intercession, the spirit’s knowing. But His response is surprising:
“Woman, why do you involve me? My hour has not yet come.”
This is the pause between prayer and performance. The space between spiritual discernment and visible deliverance. And it is holy.
Your soul may hear these words and panic. “Not yet?” it asks. “But I’m empty. I’m desperate. I need You now.”
But your spirit hears something deeper: “I am already aware. I am already here. But the fullness of the moment is still unfolding.”
Jesus is not saying no—He is marking time. He is syncing earth to heaven. He is allowing every piece to align, so the miracle is not rushed, but revealed.
There is a difference between delay and denial. The soul cannot always tell the difference. But the spirit can.
The soul feels the ache of waiting. The spirit holds the rhythm of eternity.
When Jesus says, “My hour has not yet come,” He is speaking of divine timing—a timing not measured by human need, but by heavenly fullness. Every miracle in your life has a sacred hour attached to it. Not a random minute, not a late arrival—but an appointed hour that cannot be missed.
Delay is not a sign that nothing is happening. It is the invisible tension of everything coming together.
In this moment, your soul must not interpret silence as abandonment. It must not interpret “not yet” as “never.” It must trust the wisdom of your spirit, which has already sensed that Jesus is not turning away—He is turning everything into place.
This is the fourth stage of awareness: surrendering to timing.
Let your soul be still.
Let your spirit listen to the clock of heaven.
Your hour is closer than you think.
“For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it—it will certainly come and will not delay.” —Habakkuk 2:3
“My hour has not yet come.” —John 2:4
Chapter 5
Obedience at the Brim
When understanding ends, obedience begins.
Mary turns from Jesus without protest. She does not plead, explain, or push. Instead, she turns to the servants and says something timeless:
“Do whatever He tells you.”
This is not resignation. This is spiritual precision. Mary speaks as one who knows: the hour may not have come publicly, but the power is already present privately. She releases control and calls others to obey—even before a miracle is promised.
And this is the next stage of awareness: obedience without full understanding.
The soul demands details.
The spirit moves at His Word.
The servants receive no explanation. No assurance. No prophecy of what is to come. Just an instruction:
“Fill the jars with water.”
These jars were not wine vessels. They were ceremonial washing jars—symbols of human effort, purification, and outward religion. And yet, Jesus chooses them for His first sign. He chooses what seems unrelated. He chooses the ordinary. He chooses what has always been there.
So He does with you.
What part of your life has always felt plain, unremarkable, or overlooked? That is where He speaks first. That is where the water must rise. He says, “Fill it. Completely.”
Not partially. Not timidly. To the brim.
This is obedience in its purest form: responding with fullness even when there’s no visible reward. The servants obeyed with no idea that wine was coming. They simply followed the voice.
Your soul wants proof. Your spirit says yes.
There is a moment when the water looks unchanged, and the miracle seems distant. But your spirit is rising. Your obedience is filling every jar. Your surrender is preparing the space where transformation will occur.
Do not despise the water. Do not resist the process.
The brim is the border of breakthrough.
When you obey at the brim, you are closer than you know.
“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” —Isaiah 1:19
“Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim.” —John 2:7
Chapter 6
The Transfer of Faith
Faith flows through simple hands before it reaches astonished hearts.
The jars are full. The servants are ready. Still, nothing looks changed. No scent of wine. No shimmer of glory. Just water—cold, heavy, and unremarkable.
Then Jesus speaks again:
“Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
This command defies reason. The soul protests: Draw what? Deliver what? This isn’t wine—this is foolishness. But the spirit understands something deeper: faith is not proved in what you see—it is proved in what you carry.
This is the sacred transfer.
From His word… to your hands.
From unseen transformation… to physical obedience.
The servants could have refused. They could have said, This isn’t ready. This isn’t real. This isn’t safe. But instead, they reached into the jars—still looking like water—and carried what Jesus had touched.
This is the moment many miss. They wait to act until they see the miracle. But the miracle waits for them to act. Faith does not follow the visible. Faith reveals it.
Sometimes your spirit will know something has changed before your soul can explain it.
The water may still look like lack.
But in your spirit, you’ve already tasted joy.
Jesus doesn’t say when the water turns to wine.
He doesn’t explain how.
He simply asks the faithful to move.
This is your instruction:
Don’t wait for proof. Don’t wait for public applause.
Reach into the ordinary. Carry it with honor.
Move as though the miracle has already occurred—because in heaven, it has.
The soul wants to see first. The spirit knows: belief is the vessel. Obedience is the pouring. And faith is the hand that bridges what is invisible into what is undeniable.
Draw it out.
Carry it forward.
He has already touched it.
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” —2 Corinthians 5:7
“Then He told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so.” —John 2:8
Spirit Activation: Draw It Out
A prophetic exercise to help you move from unseen faith to visible trust.
This is not a story you are just reading. This is a miracle you are living.
The wine is already forming—but your soul might still see only water.
This activation will help you let your spirit lead.
1. Identify the Jar
Close your eyes. Take a moment and ask:
“Lord, what area of my life have You already touched—though it still looks like lack?”
Write down what comes to mind. It may be your finances, your family, your health, your dream. Whatever it is, name it:
“This is the jar: ___________________________”
2. Obey Without Proof
Now ask:
“Jesus, what simple act of obedience are You asking of me—today—in this area?”
It may be a phone call, a declaration, a gift, an application, an offering, or simply believing out loud that the miracle has begun.
“This is what I will draw out: ________________________”
3. Declare the Transfer
Place your hand over your heart and speak this aloud:
“Spirit of God, I believe You’ve already begun the transformation.
I no longer wait for proof—because I walk by faith.
I draw from what You’ve touched. I carry what You’ve made holy.
I pour out what You’ve filled—until the miracle is undeniable.”
4. Seal It in Worship
Take a moment now to thank God as if the wine is already flowing. Speak praise. Sing softly. Let gratitude rise before your eyes see it.
Because this is the secret:
Your spirit already knows.
Now your soul is catching up.
Chapter 7
The Master’s Surprise
When your soul is unaware, the master already tastes the blessing.
The master of the banquet takes the cup from the servants’ hands. He tastes the wine—but he does not know where it came from. His soul is unaware of the miracle behind the moment.
Yet his senses detect the undeniable truth:
“Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
This moment is profound. The soul, represented by the master, cannot see the full story. It does not know the invisible workings of spirit and obedience behind the scene. But the taste, the experience, the result cannot be denied.
You may be like the master—unaware at first, tasting only the fruit of unseen labor, hidden obedience, and faith. The breakthrough has already been poured. The best has already been saved.
This is the eighth stage of awareness:
recognizing the evidence before understanding the process.
Your spirit has known for some time. Your soul may still ask questions, doubt, or try to explain the timing. But the harvest is here.
God’s blessings are often first experienced in the senses before they are fully comprehended in the mind.
The best is not always first. Sometimes, God saves His choicest blessings for the final moment, when the soul is ready to receive—not before.
This teaches us to trust the invisible first and savor the visible last.
To lean into the spirit’s knowledge and receive the soul’s confirmation later.
The master’s surprise is your soul’s awakening:
the moment when you realize, “It’s true—God was working all along.”
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” —Psalm 34:8
“Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” —John 2:10
Chapter 8
The Groom’s Awakening
The last to know is often the one most transformed.
The master of the banquet tasted the wine and was amazed. The servants saw the miracle. Mary heard the need. Jesus performed the sign. Yet the groom—the central figure of the celebration—remained unaware.
The groom did not know the situation had changed for the better until someone else told him. The joy, the relief, the blessing had already arrived—but he was the last to perceive it.
This is the final stage of awareness: when the soul finally catches up to what the spirit has already known.
Your spirit has sensed the breakthrough. It has believed in the miracle before the evidence. Your soul may still wrestle with doubt, worry, or waiting. But the truth remains:
Your finances, your life, your breakthrough—have already improved.
The groom’s late awareness reminds us that God’s miracles are not always immediately visible to our soul’s understanding. Sometimes, the change happens quietly behind the scenes, in the spirit realm, before our natural senses confirm it.
God often moves first in the spirit, then in the soul, and finally in the circumstances. Your breakthrough may already be in motion, even if your soul hasn’t fully seen it yet.
The groom’s awakening teaches patience—not the passive waiting of despair, but the active waiting of faith and trust. It encourages us to celebrate the miracle even when it feels delayed.
Be encouraged:
You are not behind.
You are not forgotten.
You are simply the last to know.
And when your soul finally receives this truth, it will be transformed—because it is the moment your entire being aligns with the miracle God has already done.
“I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.” —John 14:29
“He did not realize where it had come from… then he called the bridegroom aside…” —John 2:9-10
Chapter 9
Believing Before Seeing
Faith is the bridge from spirit’s knowing to soul’s sight.
The groom was the last to know his situation had changed for the better. Yet the miracle had already been completed in the spirit realm. The water had become wine, but his eyes had not yet seen the transformation.
This is the mystery of faith:
to believe what your spirit senses before your soul perceives it.
Your soul craves evidence. It wants proof—clear signs, tangible results, visible confirmation. But your spirit moves beyond the limits of sight and logic. It whispers truths that your soul cannot yet grasp.
To walk in breakthrough is to embrace this tension—holding onto what is not yet seen with a heart anchored in what is already known spiritually.
When your soul doubts, your spirit must speak louder. When your circumstances appear unchanged, your spirit must rejoice in the unseen. When your mind wrestles with fear, your spirit must stand firm in hope.
This is the posture of believers who walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). It is a daily choice to trust the invisible hand of God shaping your reality even when your soul feels unaware.
Remember:
Your breakthrough has already happened in the spirit.
Your soul is catching up.
Your eyes will soon see.
Your heart will soon rejoice.
Until then, hold fast to the promise. Keep your hands obedient. Keep your faith active. Keep your spirit alert.
Because the miracle you long for is waiting just beyond the veil of natural perception.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” —John 20:29
“We walk by faith, not by sight.” —2 Corinthians 5:7
Chapter 10
The Invitation to Awareness
Step into the fullness of what is already yours.
The story at Cana reveals a powerful truth:
Your breakthrough is often happening long before your soul can see it.
Jesus began His miracle quietly, behind the scenes—in the spirit realm—while those around Him still struggled to perceive the change. The jars filled to the brim, the servants obeyed without understanding, the master tasted without knowing the source, and the groom was the last to realize the blessing.
This mirrors the journey of awareness we all must travel.
Your spirit knows the miracle has already begun.
Your soul wrestles to believe it.
And your circumstances will soon confirm it.
This is an invitation—an invitation to awaken your awareness.
To shift from anxiety to trust.
From confusion to clarity.
From waiting in fear to walking in faith.
Your finances, your destiny, your life can change in the invisible realm today. Your obedience, your faith, your praise are the vessels that carry that change into your reality.
You are invited to move beyond what you see, beyond what you feel, into the realm where your spirit already walks—into the realm of divine transformation.
The best wine is saved for the last moment.
But that moment begins in your spirit before it appears to your soul.
Step into this awareness.
Embrace the waiting with faith.
Celebrate the miracle before your eyes behold it.
This is only the beginning.
The deeper understanding of how your soul and spirit work together will unlock even greater revelation and breakthrough in the chapters to come.
“The kingdom of God is within you.” —Luke 17:21
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” —Hebrews 11:1
Chapter 11
The Dance of Love
Soul and Spirit
Where your soul longs to be loved, your spirit finds joy in loving.
The soul is deeply connected to receiving love. It craves the affection, approval, and acceptance of others. When we are “in love,” but the person we love does not yet return that love, the soul feels the sting of rejection and disappointment. It is unhappy, restless, and incomplete because it depends on someone else’s feelings and actions to find satisfaction.
This is the soul’s natural condition: to seek love from others.
When others love us, our soul feels secure, valued, and joyful.
When others withhold their love, the soul feels empty, anxious, and powerless.
But the spirit moves differently. The spirit’s deepest joy comes from loving—not from being loved.
The spirit is happiest when it gives love freely, without expectation or condition. It is the wellspring of unconditional love, flowing outward regardless of return.
This difference matters profoundly.
When you wait for someone else’s love to feel whole, you give your power away. You place your happiness and identity in the hands of others. You become a victim of their choices, moods, and presence.
But when you decide to love—regardless of whether love is returned—you reclaim your authority.
You step into the spirit’s realm, where your joy is not dependent on circumstances or approval.
You become the source of love, not the recipient waiting passively.
This shift is transformative.
It breaks the chains of emotional dependency.
It restores your identity and power.
It frees you from the fear of rejection and the need for validation.
When you love from your spirit, you walk in true freedom.
Your spirit governs your soul instead of the soul being ruled by its desires.
You move from being controlled by how others treat you to controlling how you respond with love.
This is the path to spiritual authority.
It begins with choosing to love—whether or not the world loves you back.
So, in the waiting—for love, for breakthrough, for acceptance—choose to love first.
Choose to pour out your heart.
Choose to bless even before you are blessed.
Because your spirit’s joy is not dependent on return, but on the act of loving itself.
This is your authority.
This is your power.
This is your freedom.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” —1 John 4:8
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” —Luke 6:27
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:8
Chapter 12
Taking Back Your Authority
Real and Imagined Journeys
From waiting to loving, from victim to victor.
The journey to reclaim your authority begins when you stop waiting for others to love you and start choosing to love freely—even when it feels hard.
A Real Story: Maria’s Breakthrough
Maria had long struggled with feelings of rejection in her marriage. Her soul was restless, longing for her husband’s affection and approval. She found herself caught in a cycle of waiting and hoping, feeling powerless when he was distant.
One day, through prayer and reflection, Maria realized she was giving her power away by depending on her husband’s love to feel worthy. She began to ask God to help her love her husband unconditionally—not waiting for his love in return, but choosing to love first.
Slowly, Maria’s heart softened, and her spirit grew stronger. She started showing kindness, patience, and affection without expectation. This shift changed the atmosphere in their home. Her husband noticed the change, grew closer, and their relationship began to heal.
Maria’s soul found peace, not because her husband suddenly loved her more, but because her spirit was no longer captive to waiting. She reclaimed her authority by loving first—and that love transformed her world.
A Fictional Story: Daniel’s Choice
Daniel was a young artist who longed for recognition and acceptance from a close friend and mentor. His soul ached each time the friend seemed indifferent or critical. Daniel felt trapped by his desire for approval, unable to create freely or find joy.
One evening, Daniel had a vision: he saw himself holding a lantern. He realized the lantern symbolized his love and light, which he had kept hidden, waiting for others to ignite it. In that moment, Daniel chose to step into his spirit’s power. He decided to love and express himself fully—regardless of whether his friend approved.
Daniel began painting boldly, sharing his art with others, and speaking words of kindness to his mentor without expecting anything back. His soul, once burdened by waiting, began to feel lighter. His spirit was free.
Though his friend’s attitude did not change immediately, Daniel’s life transformed. He found joy in loving and creating freely. He was no longer controlled by someone else’s acceptance—he held his own light.
Both Maria and Daniel teach us that waiting for love places power outside ourselves, but choosing to love returns that power to our spirit.
You too can reclaim your authority by deciding to love first. It is not always easy, but it is the way to freedom.
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” —Romans 12:9
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” —Romans 12:21
Chapter 13
Loving Authority
When your spirit leads in love, your finances follow in favor.
The journey from waiting for love to choosing to love is not just emotional or spiritual—it carries profound implications for every area of your life, including your finances.
When your soul is controlled by fear, doubt, or dependence—waiting anxiously for provision or approval—you put your circumstances and others in charge of your destiny. You become a victim of scarcity thinking, stuck in lack because your focus is on what you do not have.
But when your spirit awakens to loving authority, you step into a new realm of faith and favor.
Loving authority means:
- Loving your work, even before it bears fruit.
- Loving your finances, even if your accounts seem low.
- Loving your calling, even when obstacles appear.
This love is not sentimental or naive; it is a powerful, active choice to embrace abundance and blessing in advance. It is the spirit declaring, “I am enough, I have enough, and I trust God’s provision.”
This attitude shifts your vibration and opens doors:
- It releases creativity and solutions you couldn’t see before.
- It attracts favor and opportunity because you carry the heart of a giver, not a taker.
- It transforms your financial mindset from scarcity to abundance.
Just like the water jars at Cana—ordinary vessels filled beyond capacity—your finances can be filled to overflowing when your spirit leads in love and faith.
The miracle begins within, before it manifests without.
Your loving authority breaks the cycle of lack and ushers in supernatural provision.
Remember:
Your spirit’s love is the catalyst for your soul’s breakthrough and your financial increase.
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.” —Luke 6:38
“The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.” —Deuteronomy 28:12
Chapter 14
Lessons from Mother Teresa
From quiet obedience to powerful love: a journey of awakening.
Mother Teresa’s life is a remarkable example of how awareness deepens over time—how the soul and spirit grow through trials, obedience, and love.
The Early Years — Quiet Obedience
In her early years, Mother Teresa was devoted but private. She obeyed the call to religious life and service with humility. Her awareness was rooted in obedience to God’s will, yet much of her spiritual breakthrough was hidden deep within.
Her soul found comfort in structure and devotion, but the fullness of her spiritual authority had not yet blossomed. This stage reflects many who serve faithfully but have yet to awaken fully to the power within their spirit.
The Call Within the Call — Radical Loving
In 1946, Mother Teresa experienced what she called the “call within the call.” She felt a deeper, more urgent calling to serve the poorest of the poor in Calcutta.
This was a breakthrough of awareness. Her spirit embraced radical love—not just serving, but loving unconditionally, regardless of hardship or rejection. Her soul wrestled with the immense challenges but was strengthened by the spirit’s joy and authority.
In this stage, she moved beyond waiting for the world’s approval. She chose to love first, giving herself fully to the mission, even when the results were uncertain.
The Global Witness — Living Loving Authority
In her later years, Mother Teresa became a global symbol of compassion and loving authority. She walked fully in the freedom of her spirit, no longer controlled by others’ opinions or worldly success.
Her love was active, unstoppable, and transformative. She demonstrated how loving authority not only changes individuals but can move nations and inspire millions.
Mother Teresa’s life journey reveals how awareness grows from quiet obedience to powerful love—and how reclaiming spiritual authority brings profound breakthrough.
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” —Mother Teresa
“Peace begins with a smile.” —Mother Teresa
Chapter 15
Authority Through Love
How Mother Teresa Changed the World
Without Seeking Power
Love first, authority follows.
Mother Teresa never sought authority. She did not crave recognition, titles, or influence. Her life began quietly in service, grounded in obedience and humility. Yet, by the end of her journey, she was influencing governments, the rich, and the powerful—all because she chose to love freely and act in compassion without waiting for approval or reward.
Her authority came not from ambition but from love in action.
This is a profound lesson:
True authority is a byproduct of loving first, not a goal to be pursued.
Mother Teresa’s influence was rooted in her decision to love unconditionally, especially those whom society overlooked—the poorest of the poor. She did not wait for others to love her or to recognize her value; she gave love tirelessly and sacrificially.
Because she loved without expectation, her spirit carried power that transcended social and political boundaries.
Governments sought her counsel. World leaders respected her voice. Her authority was undeniable—not because she demanded it, but because her love demanded acknowledgment.
She showed that:
- When you stop waiting for others’ love or approval,
- When you act in love despite rejection or hardship,
- When your spirit leads, not your soul’s need for validation,
You reclaim your authority.
You break free from being a victim of circumstance or opinion.
You become a catalyst for change.
Mother Teresa’s life exemplifies this spiritual principle:
Love is the root of true authority.
When you choose to love first, you align with the source of all power and breakthrough.
Your influence will grow—not because you seek it, but because love cannot be ignored.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” —Mother Teresa
“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” —Mother Teresa
Chapter 16
To Love Is to Believe
Faith Expressing Itself Through Love
“The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” —Galatians 5:6
There is a hidden truth running through the entire Bible, often overlooked but deeply powerful:
To truly love someone is to believe in them.
When Paul wrote to the Galatians, he didn’t say that faith works through effort or feelings or perfect performance. He said faith expresses itself through love. And love, in its truest form, is an act of belief.
- When Jesus loved Peter, He believed in him—despite Peter’s denial.
- When the father welcomed the prodigal son home, he believed in his return before he saw it.
- When God so loved the world, He believed in its redemption and acted upon it by sending His Son.
Love and Belief Are Interchangeable
Love is often thought of as an emotion. But biblical love is more than a feeling—it is a decision to believe in someone’s God-given potential, even when the evidence is lacking.
There are times when it feels almost impossible to “love” someone, especially if they’ve hurt us or disappointed us. But it may be easier to take the first step by simply choosing to believe in them. To believe that they can change. To believe that they still carry a purpose. That belief is a form of love.
This applies to more than people.
- You may not love your job—but you can believe in your job, believe it has purpose, and that it’s a place where God’s favor can grow.
- You may not be allowed to love money—Jesus warned us clearly about that—but you can believe in money as a tool that, when submitted to God, can bless, build, and restore.
Mother Teresa: Believing Without Loving the System
Mother Teresa didn’t love money. She never sought wealth for herself or worshipped material things. But she believed in the power of money when placed in the hands of love.
She believed that money could feed a starving child, build a shelter, provide medicine. Her faith wasn’t in the money—it was in God—but she understood the role of financial provision and believed that heaven could channel resources through willing hands.
Because she believed, money came. Not because she loved it, but because she had faith expressing itself through love.
Your Takeaway: Start Believing
- Believe in the people who seem unlovable.
- Believe in the work God has put in your hands.
- Believe in the provision that supports the mission.
That belief is love in action. That love is faith expressed. And that is the only thing that counts.
“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” —1 Corinthians 13:7
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” —1 Corinthians 13:13
Chapter 17
Breaking the Fear of Loving Money
Believing Without Bowing
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” —1 Timothy 6:10
We live in a strange cultural contradiction.
In the Western world, nearly everyone chases money—jobs are chosen for it, time is traded for it, security is defined by it. And yet, at the same time, many—especially Christians—deny that they care about money at all.
Why? Because we have been taught that to love money is dangerous. And it is. Scripture is clear: the love of money can corrupt the heart, twist motives, and destroy lives. But this fear has created confusion.
Instead of developing a healthy, spiritual relationship with money, many believers feel shame around it. They suppress ambition, fear wealth, and feel guilty when money flows their way. They pray for provision but secretly believe they shouldn’t enjoy it.
This double-mindedness creates a blockage.
The Fear of Loving Money Has Been Impregnated Into the Culture
It’s been embedded through centuries of religious teaching and social suspicion. Phrases like “money is the root of all evil” (misquoted) are thrown around without context. Monastic poverty was once seen as the highest spiritual ideal. The result? Many Christians subconsciously believe that wealth and holiness cannot coexist.
But here’s the truth:
Jesus never said money was evil. He said the love of money was dangerous.
And yet, Jesus believed in money.
- He asked Peter to find a coin in a fish’s mouth.
- He honored the widow who gave two small coins.
- He received financial support from wealthy women.
- He taught parables about investing, trading, and stewardship.
- He let Judas keep the money bag—even knowing his weakness.
Jesus understood that money is not a god, but it is a tool. And like any tool, it depends on whose hand it’s in.
How Do We Get Around the Fear?
We overcome this blockage not by denying money, but by transforming our relationship with it:
- We do not need to love money.
- But we must believe in it.
Believe that money can obey your voice when your spirit is aligned with heaven.
Believe that money can serve the kingdom of God.
Believe that you can have authority over finances without being ruled by them.
This is not greed—it’s governance. It’s spiritual maturity.
When we stop fearing money and start believing in its purpose, we unlock a flow of provision that’s been waiting for our permission.
“You cannot serve both God and money.” —Matthew 6:24
You cannot serve money, but money can serve you—if your spirit leads.
Chapter 18
The Lie That Money
Does not Make You Happy
“The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” —Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV)
One of the most common lies we’ve been told—especially in Christian and Western circles—is this:
“Money doesn’t make you happy.”
We’ve heard it from celebrities, billionaires, successful entrepreneurs:
“I bought the jet. I bought the mansion. I still wasn’t happy.”
The problem isn’t what they’re saying—it’s what they mean when they say it.
When wealthy people talk about not being happy, they are usually speaking about a narrow definition of happiness. They are talking about thrill, excitement, and adrenaline—not the deeper forms of well-being that money can absolutely help support.
Let’s define “happy” more honestly.
True Happiness Is Bigger Than a Rush
Happiness doesn’t have to be loud. It doesn’t have to be dramatic.
It can look like:
- Security — knowing your bills are paid, your family is covered, and your future is stable.
- Stability — not panicking when an emergency hits.
- Freedom — being able to say “yes” to a calling, or “no” to toxic jobs.
- Privacy — the ability to rest in peace, away from noise and pressure.
- Power — not to dominate others, but to influence change and bless the world.
Would these things make a normal person happy? Of course they would.
Even Scripture acknowledges the joy of provision:
“You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country… The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity…” (Deuteronomy 28:3, 11)
Yes, money cannot fix a broken heart. It cannot buy eternal life. It cannot create true identity.
But it can contribute to a life that supports joy, peace, purpose, and health—when managed by a spirit-led person.
The real issue isn’t money.
It’s the misuse of money.
It’s the confusion around what happiness really is.
We’ve been made to feel guilty for wanting what God wants to give: peace, provision, and purpose.
Jesus Wasn’t Opposed to Happiness
Jesus turned water into wine—not out of necessity, but out of joy.
He spoke of abundant life, of houses built on rock, of talents doubled, of blessings multiplied.
He didn’t condemn wealth. He warned against wealth owning the heart. There’s a difference.
You Can Be Both Righteous and Happy
Let go of the false humility that says, “I don’t need anything.”
Embrace the truth: God delights in your well-being. And if money can support a happier, healthier, freer life—then you are allowed to believe in it.
You don’t worship it. You don’t chase it.
But you stop rejecting the joy it can bring.
“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” —John 10:10 (ESV)
“Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.” —Psalm 112:3
Chapter 19
The Soul’s Struggle
Deciding to Believe in Money
“To the pure, all things are pure…” —Titus 1:15
Money has always been neutral. It doesn’t hate you. It doesn’t love you. It doesn’t corrupt by itself—it responds to the one who holds it.
And that’s where the battle begins.
The soul struggles with money. It is easily swayed by fear, greed, shame, pride, and cultural confusion. The soul remembers every time you felt insecure, every time you were shamed for wanting more, every time you were told that wealth was unspiritual. So it hesitates. It avoids. It distrusts.
But your spirit is not confused.
Your spirit is born of God, and therefore, it is pure. It does not lust after money, nor does it fear it.
It simply believes in purpose—and money has a purpose.
The Purpose of Money
Money was created to serve. It’s meant to:
- Create security (so you can rest).
- Relieve stress (so you can think clearly).
- Preserve health (so your body isn’t broken by pressure).
- Build homes (so you can dwell in peace).
- Support vision (so your calling can expand).
- Protect time (so you’re not enslaved by scarcity).
- Fund compassion (so you can give freely).
These are holy, pure, God-honoring goals.
Your soul may still feel conflicted. But your spirit knows. Money was never meant to control you. It was meant to obey you.
Make the Decision: Believe in Money
You don’t need to love money.
You don’t need to crave it.
You don’t even need to chase it.
But you must believe in it.
Believe that money has a job to do.
Believe that provision is not selfish—it’s sacred.
Believe that financial peace is not a luxury—it’s a calling.
Jesus didn’t avoid money. He used it to teach, to bless, to reveal God’s priorities. He didn’t love it, but He expected it to serve the Kingdom.
So should you.
Cultural Lies vs. Kingdom Truth
The Culture Says:
- “Money makes people greedy.”
- “You shouldn’t think about money.”
- “Happy people don’t need much.”
The Spirit Says:
- “Money reveals the heart—it doesn’t create it.”
- “Wisdom builds wealth and stewardship multiplies it.”
- “The joy of the Lord includes provision, peace, and purpose.”
“Decide today: I will believe in money. I will not fear it. I will not worship it. I will command it. I will use it to serve joy, peace, and righteousness.”
Chapter 20
Money Was Made to Work
Just Like Adam
“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” —Genesis 2:15
Before there was a church, a city, or a nation, God created a garden.
And before Adam had a wife, a family, or even a problem to solve—God gave him a job.
Work was not a punishment. It was part of the original blessing.
God believed in Adam.
God trusted Adam to manage the garden.
God expected Adam to work with joy, purpose, and dignity.
In the same way, money has a job to do.
Money is not your master. It is not your enemy.
It is your servant, designed by God to respond to authority, order, and purpose.
We Are Designed to Put Things to Work
You were created in God’s image—and that means you were designed to govern, not be governed.
Just as Adam was given charge of the garden, you are given charge over the things in your life—including your finances.
Your food, your clothing, your shelter, your family’s needs—
Money is meant to do this work.
When you refuse to put money to work, it either lies dormant or becomes disobedient.
But when you assign it purpose and believe in its assignment, it begins to move in line with God’s design.
Believe in Money Like You Believe in a Car
You don’t have to love your car to believe in it. You simply expect it to get you from one place to another.
You trust it to:
- Start when you turn the key
- Move when you press the pedal
- Stop when you apply the brakes
You’re not afraid of falling in love with it, even though some people do. That’s not your focus.
Your focus is function.
So why not treat money the same way?
Believe that money is designed to:
- Feed you
- Clothe you
- House you
- Fund your family’s well-being
- Support your calling
This is not idolatry. This is design. God made provision part of the garden plan.
God Believes in You to Manage Money
If God believed in Adam to tend the garden, He believes in you to tend your finances.
This is not a game of worthiness. You were born to steward things.
And money, like every other resource, is waiting for your clarity, your instruction, and your faith.
“Money, I assign you to work. You will obey the Spirit of God in me. You will serve the purpose of peace, provision, and righteousness in my life.”
Let this be your new financial mindset:
You don’t serve money. Money serves you, because you serve God.
Chapter 21
Even the Wine Had a Job
“Everyone brings out the choice wine first… but you have saved the best till now.” —John 2:10
Let us return to the wedding at Cana.
No one at the celebration was worried about loving the wine. That wasn’t the point.
The wine had a job to do.
Its job was to celebrate, to uplift, to gladden hearts, to mark the joy of a sacred union.
And in that moment, the wine had run out before its job was finished.
So Jesus stepped in—not to endorse drunkenness, not to create dependency—but to honor purpose.
Purpose, Not Pleasure, Was the Focus
The wine’s role was about more than taste.
It was about timing, honor, joy, and fulfillment.
Mary saw the gap. Jesus saw the moment. The guests may not have even noticed yet—but the wine still had an assignment.
And Jesus, the Son of God, was not too holy to intervene.
He didn’t say, “Wine doesn’t matter.”
He didn’t say, “It’s not spiritual to enjoy a celebration.”
He said—by His actions—“Let the wine finish its job.”
Even the master of the banquet acknowledged this purpose:
“This wine is so good, it’s going to do its job better than expected.”
The goal wasn’t intoxication—it was celebration. And in that context, even wine could bring happiness.
What If We Treated Money Like the Wine?
Now imagine if everyone told you, “Wine can’t make you happy.”
We would rightly ask, “Then what do you mean by happy?”
Wine doesn’t give eternal joy, but it can help create a moment of delight.
Likewise, money can’t save your soul—but it can save your home, your time, your strength.
We must stop punishing money for not being God.
God never asked money to be your Savior. He asked it to do its job.
And just as Jesus made sure the wine fulfilled its assignment, He will help your money fulfill its purpose—if you give it the right context.
It’s All About Context
Wine is dangerous without boundaries.
Money is dangerous without purpose.
But in the right setting, both become tools of celebration, peace, and honor.
Jesus turned water into wine because the wine had work left to do.
What if your finances have work left to do too?
Jesus is still turning water into wine—still bringing provision to moments of emptiness—still honoring purpose where others see lack.
Chapter 22
The Miracle Already Happened
But the Groom Did not Know
“But the servants who had drawn the water knew…” —John 2:9
One of the most astonishing details of the wedding at Cana is this:
The groom was the last to know a miracle had taken place.
The wine had run out. The solution had come.
The water had already been turned into wine.
The banquet was saved. The celebration continued.
And the master of the banquet was already impressed.
But the groom?
He was still unaware that anything had gone wrong—or that anything had gone right.
He had already been delivered from public shame.
He had already been rescued from disappointment.
He had already been upgraded from average to excellence.
And he didn’t even know it.
This Is How Many of Us Live
The miracle has already happened in the spirit.
The provision has already been released.
The breakthrough has already begun.
But because our soul—our thoughts, emotions, and senses—can’t see it yet, we walk around as if we are still in lack.
We are like the groom, still hosting the party, still unaware that Jesus has already intervened.
We are living in the aftermath of a miracle but have not yet realized it.
The Servants Knew Before the Groom Did
The Bible says that the servants knew.
They saw the transformation.
They witnessed the command, the filling, the drawing, the tasting.
They knew something had shifted.
This is what happens when we begin to live from our spirit instead of our soul.
Our spirit knows that the transformation has already occurred.
Our spirit senses the shift, long before the outer world shows any evidence.
Your spirit is the servant who already saw the miracle.
Your soul is still catching up.
Faith Lives in the Tension Between the Two
To walk by faith is to trust the report of your spirit, even when your soul feels stuck.
It’s to declare, “My situation has already changed,”
Even when your emotions or bank account haven’t caught up yet.
It’s to say, “Jesus is already at the wedding,”
Even when the wine has run out.
You’re Not Waiting on the Miracle — The Miracle Is Waiting on You
The groom didn’t pray.
The groom didn’t ask.
The groom didn’t even know to expect anything.
But Jesus moved because of someone else’s intercession—Mary’s.
Jesus moved quietly, but powerfully.
The miracle was already done. The only thing left was for the groom to wake up to it.
Let This Be Your Revelation
You are not waiting on your financial miracle.
You are not waiting on joy, peace, provision, or purpose.
They have already been turned from water into wine.
Your spirit has seen it. Now it’s time for your soul to catch up.
Chapter 23
Be Filled
God Finishes What He Starts
“Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim.” —John 2:7
God is a God of completion. He does not begin something only to abandon it halfway.
If there is a purpose—Heaven intends to see it fulfilled.
At the wedding in Cana, the wine ran out before the celebration was finished. The purpose of the wine—to bless, to uplift, to honor the joy of union—was not yet complete.
So Jesus intervened.
But He didn’t speak to the groom.
He didn’t lecture the guests.
He didn’t call a meeting with the wedding planners.
He spoke to the water.
And in doing so, He spoke to the problem in a language it could obey.
Heaven Intervenes to Complete Purpose
When money runs out, when provision dries up, when things stall—many people assume they’ve failed, or that God has turned away.
But what if it’s simply a moment for divine reactivation?
What if your financial resources are waiting to be spoken to?
Not cursed. Not mourned. But filled?
“Be filled,” says the Lord.
Be filled with strength.
Be filled with provision.
Be filled with purpose again.
Jesus didn’t scold the lack—He transformed it.
He knew the wine hadn’t failed. It had just reached the limit of its assignment.
Now a new provision was needed for the next part of the purpose.
God Honors Purpose More Than Scarcity
Too often, we worship our limitations.
We say, “The wine has run out,” and we assume the party is over.
But God says, “If the wine has run out, and the purpose is still alive, I will fill it again.”
He honors purpose more than scarcity.
He supplies not just according to our need, but according to His purpose.
Your bank account may not have enough.
But Heaven does.
Speak to the Water Jars in Your Life
Jesus didn’t say “Go find better wine.”
He said, “Fill the jars.”
Use what’s available. Use what’s ordinary. Use what’s overlooked.
And then—speak purpose over it.
You may think your financial life is too broken, too empty, too delayed.
But Jesus isn’t waiting for your wealth to fix itself.
He is speaking to your lack and saying: “Be filled.”
“Be filled again with meaning.”
“Be filled again with energy.”
“Be filled again with joy and strength.”
“Be filled until purpose is completed.”
Declare This Today
“I believe in divine completion. If the purpose of my life is still unfolding, then Heaven still has provision. My soul may see the lack, but my spirit hears Jesus say, ‘Be filled.’ I speak to my money situation: Be filled with purpose again.”
Chapter 24
The Images in Your Mind
Fill the Jars of Imagination
“Nearby stood six stone water jars… Jesus said, ‘Fill the jars with water.’” —John 2:6–7
Words are powerful.
But images—they linger.
They bypass the noise of doubt and go straight into the spirit.
A story is more than words strung together.
A story is a vehicle of vision.
And vision is the language of your spirit.
When Jesus told the servants to fill the jars, they didn’t argue or overthink.
They moved.
They imagined what full jars would look like—and they filled them to the brim.
They had no guarantee the water would turn into wine.
But they acted as if something greater was already coming.
This is the same power you have when you activate your imagination by faith.
Imagination Is One Step Higher Than Words
It’s good to say, “My life is changing.”
But what do you see when you say it?
Can you picture the jars full?
Can you see the water turning deep purple?
Can you imagine the celebration, the joy, the laughter, the surprise?
Words are seeds, but imagination is rain.
You may speak the promise—but your imagination waters it into growth.
What Movie Is Playing in Your Mind?
Your inner world is like a projector.
All day long, it plays stories—some filled with lack, others with overflow.
Are your inner images showing drought or flood?
Empty jars or overflowing vessels?
Many believers speak words of faith but hold pictures of failure.
They pray for rain while mentally rehearsing famine.
But today you can flip the script.
You can take your imagination and fill it with purpose, just like the servants filled those jars.
Picture yourself already walking in breakthrough.
See your family already provided for.
Imagine your bank account full, your body healed, your home peaceful.
Your imagination is not a toy—it is a spiritual tool.
Activate the Spirit Through Imagination
Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
Hope is made of images.
And the spirit thrives on hope-filled vision.
To walk in the spirit is not just to believe with words,
but to see with your heart what your eyes have not yet seen.
The soul analyzes.
The spirit imagines.
So don’t just speak to your situation.
See your jars filled.
Visualize abundance.
Picture divine overflow.
That’s what the servants did before the miracle ever arrived.
Chapter 25
Something Is About to Be Revealed
“You have saved the best till now.” —John 2:10
Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine it’s your wedding. The most joyful day of your life.
The guests are laughing, the music is playing, and then—
someone whispers to you, “The wine has run out.”
That sinking feeling.
Embarrassment.
Panic.
Shame.
You don’t know how to fix it. You weren’t watching the supply.
This is a social disaster unfolding in real time.
But then—a miracle happens without your knowledge.
Someone finds more wine. But not just more—the best in the world.
Suddenly, guests are crowding around you.
“Where did you get this?”
“This is the most incredible wine we’ve ever tasted!”
“Your wedding is legendary!”
And you stand there smiling, still not sure what just happened.
Because the miracle didn’t come through your strategy.
It came through grace.
Surprise: Your Finances May Already Be Changing
The groom had no idea his reputation had just been redeemed.
He didn’t even ask for help.
But Jesus saw the need.
He heard the whisper.
He moved in secret.
This is what may be happening in your finances right now.
You’re still worried about the shortage, but Heaven has already activated provision behind the scenes.
There are miracles that begin before your soul becomes aware.
There are solutions forming even as your spirit stays still in trust.
Just like the groom, you may be the last person to know your situation has changed.
Imagination Makes Room for Revelation
Can you imagine your life 2,000 years from now being talked about?
Can you imagine a testimony so sweet, so surprising, so undeserved, that generations mention your name with wonder?
Maybe people will say:
- “That breakthrough came out of nowhere.”
- “They didn’t even see it coming.”
- “And just like that, everything turned around.”
This is what happens when Jesus fills the jars—quietly, creatively, completely.
The Purpose Will Be Finished
Wine has a job at weddings.
Money has a job in your life.
And God is invested in finishing what He started.
That’s why the wine at Cana was not just replaced, but exceeded.
The wedding’s reputation was elevated.
Your reputation may be next.
Your story may be the one people share in awe,
not because you figured it all out—
but because Heaven stepped in.
A Declaration of Expectation
“I believe something is being revealed. What looks empty in the natural is being filled in the spirit. My miracle may already be in motion. I open my heart to receive the surprise of Heaven—better than expected, more than deserved, in perfect time. Amen.”
Final Chapter:
Start Believing
Money Can Make You Happy
“You have saved the best till now.” —John 2:10
For too long, we’ve been told a lie.
A lie so deeply embedded in our culture, in our churches, in our souls,
that we’ve stopped even questioning it:
“Money can’t make you happy.”
We hear it from wealthy people after they’ve spent it.
We hear it from the pulpit in a voice of caution.
We hear it in our own thoughts whenever we begin to dream of abundance.
But what if that phrase isn’t truth—it’s trauma?
What if it’s not holy—it’s fear dressed up as humility?
Wine at a Wedding, Money in Your Life
Imagine someone at the wedding in Cana standing up and saying,
“This wine can’t make you happy!”
They would’ve missed the point entirely.
The wine wasn’t there to solve eternal problems.
It was there to serve a holy moment.
To bless a human joy.
To glorify the kindness of God.
The wine had a purpose:
To lift the hearts of the guests,
To honor the couple,
To keep the celebration alive.
So does money.
Money has a purpose:
To protect your health.
To lighten your stress.
To secure your family.
To expand your influence.
To fulfill your calling.
These things may not make your adrenaline spike,
but they do make life happier in the full and proper sense of the word.
Start Believing the Truth
Start believing that money has a divine assignment in your life.
Start believing that money, like wine, can be used well.
Start believing that you were not created to chase lack,
but to steward abundance.
God never condemned money.
He condemned the love of money—
which is rooted in fear of losing it or making it your god.
But believing in money is different.
It’s acknowledging that this resource was created to serve, not enslave.
Start believing in money the way you believe in:
- Your home to protect you
- Your car to carry you
- Your job to support you
You don’t have to love these things.
But you believe in them.
You expect them to work.
Let Go of the Shame
It’s not greedy to want to be free from stress.
It’s not sinful to desire a life of stability and strength.
It’s not wrong to say:
“Money would help me.
Money would serve me.
Money would make me happy.”
Start saying it.
Say it with boldness.
Say it with peace.
“Money will help me do what God has called me to do.”
“Money will allow me to bless others.”
“Money will increase my joy, my time, my focus.”
“I believe money can and will make my life better.”
This is not rebellion.
This is redemption.
You Are the Groom
You may have been the last to believe it.
You may have spent years thinking you had to suffer lack to be spiritual.
But now it’s time.
The miracle has already begun.
The jars are full.
The water is changing.
The wine is on its way to your table.
You are the groom.
And you are about to find out
that the best has been saved for you—right now.
Final Declaration
“Father, I repent for believing the lie that money cannot bring joy.
I believe that money has a good and holy purpose in my life.
I no longer fear abundance.
I welcome it.
I prepare for it.
I expect it.
I trust You to use it for my good and Your glory.
I declare: money will make me happy,
because it will fulfill the purpose You designed it for. Amen.”
Thank You for Reading
From my heart to yours—thank you for taking the time.
I hope these words have stirred your imagination.
And helped you sense the miracle that is yours.
May you discover the full jars of wine.
With love and gratitude.
