You know you are standing at a gate when the intimidator is taunting you because you are so close to obtaining access. We are at the gate of abundance, how do we know, for the spirit of intimidation is screaming at many people right now. If we were not at the gate we would not hear this taunting, tormenting, troubling voice of intimidation trying to get us to back off, to quit, to go back to where we came from. But not this time, we have been at this gate before individually, nationally and internationally. Today is a new day, there is courage in the people at the gate, they know this enemy they are not backing off.

In the days of Nehemiah, Sanballat and Tobiah did not arise until Israel began to rebuild the walls; in the days of Elijah, Jezebel did not rant and rave until the altar of God was rebuilt and the people returned to the Lord; in the days of Moses, Pharoh was not concerned until the people started believing the signs God sent through the plagues upon Egypt; in the days of Jesus, the gates of hell were not worried until Peter was given the keys of the kingdom to bind, loose, open and close. Friends, you know you are at a gate when you hear the voice of the intimidator trying to get you to back up.

Money is an intimidator, small amounts taunt you by saying, “Look at how little you have, you are not going to make it, you are broke, you are going under.” Large amounts of money intimidate you by saying, “You can’t afford me, you will never access me, you will use me for the wrong reasons, you will destroy yourself if you gain me.” Money is an intimidator and it starts screaming its taunts when you are at the gate.

The truth is, greater is He that is in you than money, than Sanballat, than Tobiah, than Jezebel, than Pharoh, than the gates of hell. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit; the King of glory lives inside of you; you abide in Christ and Christ abides in you. And Paul says in 2 Timothy 1:6-7 “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” You have nothing to be intimidated about, you are at the gate and this time you are going in, no turning back at the gate, it is time to access abundance.
