Have you ever felt stuck waiting for God's promises to materialize? "Positioned to Receive" breaks down the spiritual principles that create a pathway for divine provision in your life. Drawing from Abraham's extraordinary 25-year journey of faith, we discover how perseverance through seemingly impossible circumstances leads to the fulfillment of God's promises.
At the core of receiving from God lies three fundamental positioning tools we all possess. First, God's Word establishes the foundation—those unchangeable promises that, unlike human words, can be "taken to the bank." Second, unwavering faith keeps us anchored through waiting seasons. Like Abraham who "did not weaken in faith" despite his hundred-year-old body being "as good as dead," our consistent belief positions us for breakthrough. Finally, our actions demonstrate readiness to receive. The powerful illustration of carrying an umbrella before rain appears challenges us to behave as though we've already received what we're believing for.
The widow's story in 2 Kings 4 beautifully illustrates these principles in action. Facing overwhelming debt after her husband's death, she followed the prophet's instructions to gather empty jars from neighbors. Her faithful actions—preparing for abundance despite having only a small amount of oil—positioned her for a miracle that not only paid her debts but sustained her family. What empty jars do you need to gather today? What umbrella do you need to carry in sunshine? Your positioning determines your receiving. Ask, seek, knock—God's storehouse of blessings awaits those positioned to receive.
