Push to the Edge: Receiving Your Nations Through Every Stage of God's Process

Push to the Edge: Receiving Your Nations Through Every Stage of God's Process

Teaching by Prophet Lovy L. Elias · Watch on YouTube · 18 March 2025

The blessing God has ordained for you does not stop at provision — it ends at the nations.

God's blessing flows through stages and dimensions, beginning with personal healing and purification, then expanding to family, resources, influence, and ultimately the nations as your inheritance. Every trial, every shaking, and every opposition is not a sign of God's absence — it is a signal that a new dimension of His blessing is being unlocked.

Teaching Overview

  1. God's ultimate goal for the believer is not provision or comfort — it is the nations as an inheritance.
  2. The blessing of God unfolds in stages: personal healing, then children, then resources, then influence, then nations.
  3. Opposition and coordinated enemies are not signs of defeat — they are indicators that your storehouse has triggered a new spiritual dimension.
  4. Everything in this life is a stage, not a residence — trials, ashes, and shakings are temporary processes before God's beauty is revealed.
  5. Faith, not emotion, pain, or vendetta, must govern every decision as you move through each stage of God's process.

God's Sufficiency and the Nature of Miracles

  • The miraculous does not originate in human effort — it flows entirely from what God has already accomplished.
  • Healing is not difficult because it has nothing to do with human capacity; it has everything to do with what the Lord Jesus Christ has done.
  • God is willing to bless, to increase, and to change anybody's life — not because they deserve it, but because of His grace.

"No matter what you believe in God for, God is more than enough and it's more than capable to make it happen."


The Definiteness of God's Provision

  • Jesus did not suffer a brutal death so that believers could remain in a posture of "maybe He can heal me" — His suffering was definite, and so is the healing it secured.
  • Because Christ's suffering was factual and certain, a believer's healing and miracle must be received as equally factual.
  • Believers must build upon what God has done — not remain in a place of uncertainty after God has already moved.

"The Lord did not suffer so that you can be in a position of 'maybe He can heal me.'"


God's Ultimate Vision — Nations, Not Just Provision

  • God's goal is not to give a believer a house, a car, or a salary — those are foreshadows of blessing, not its fullness.
  • Deuteronomy 28:1 reveals that God's ultimate aim is to set the believer high above all nations of the earth.
  • Provision and comfort are merely entry-level expressions of a blessing designed to reach the nations.

"God's ultimate goal is to give you the nations."

"God did not annoy you to be local. You are global. You are global. You are global."


The Stages of God's Blessing — Deuteronomy 28

  • The unfolding of God's blessing begins wherever the believer lays their hands and wherever God sends them.
  • Before finances multiply, before cattle increase, God first sets His sight on the believer's children — they are His first priority in the blessing sequence.
  • The basket (what is gathered) and the storehouse (what is kept) are dimensions of blessing that are spiritual before they are physical — the enemy can only consume what is outside of God's jurisdiction.

"Before your cattle increase, before your finances increase or multiply, the first action that God sets his sight on is your children."

Why Your Children Are Going Through a Process

  • The challenges a believer's children face are not random — they are part of a purification process God initiates before the increase arrives.
  • If children are not aligned with what God has for their family, they become a vulnerability — what God increases could become a source of pain rather than a legacy.
  • God puts children through a process of purification so that the inheritance He releases can be sustained and carried forward.

"Satan is a master of using what you love the most against you, especially if it is not changed."


Coordinated Opposition as a Sign of Elevation

  • When enemies rise together — as if coordinated, as if they received the same instruction — it is not a sign of God's withdrawal; it is a signal that the storehouse has reached a dimension that triggers a new level of opposition.
  • Asking "Lord, what did I do?" at this stage is a misdirected question — believers stand before God through Christ, not through their own perfection.
  • What the enemy is fighting is not the believer personally — it is what God has determined to do through them.

"Everything that manifests around you is signaling something that God is doing."

"What they are fighting is what God wants to do."

The Establishment That Comes Through Shaking

  • Shaking reveals whether a foundation is truly established — what falls off in the shaking was never meant to remain.
  • God shakes the foundation of those He loves and trusts precisely because He knows they will stand.
  • The privilege of being shaken by God is one that most believers fail to recognise — it is an act of divine confidence, not divine punishment.

"You will never understand the privilege it is when God loves you enough and trusts you enough to shake things knowing that you will stand."


Everything Is a Stage — Not a Residence

  • Every season of pain, trial, and loss is a stage — not a permanent address.
  • The ashes that God allows are the necessary precondition for the beauty He is preparing to release.
  • Fire burns off everything that does not come from God — what remains after fire is what is ready for glory.

"God is about to give you beauty for ashes. But in order for there to be ashes that will turn into beauty, there must be fire."

"Don't assume and light to yourself that what is a stage is your abode."

Trust in God, Not in Man

  • The people closest to a believer — family, workers, friends — can walk away; this cannot be the foundation of faith.
  • Whatever comes from man will expire; whatever comes from God is permanent.
  • Accepting every level, every stage, and every test is the trajectory that leads to holding the nations.

"When you land to accept every level, every stage, every test, you are on the trajectory of holding the nations in your hands."


Making Decisions from Faith, Not Emotion

  • Decisions made from emotion, pain, or a desire for revenge are a highway to destruction.
  • A child of God does not wrestle with what is happening — the posture of faith is acceptance of whatever process God is administering.
  • Only Jesus is forever — every situation, whether blessing or trial, is temporary; only what comes from the Lord is permanent.

"A child of God doesn't wrestle with what is happening; you accept."

"Only Jesus is forever."


Key Definitions

Nations (as inheritance) — Not a metaphor for general influence but the literal end-point of God's blessing described in Deuteronomy 28:1 — the ultimate inheritance God gives those who diligently obey His voice; the fullness of blessing beyond provision, property, and local reach.

Basket and Storehouse — The basket represents what is gathered; the storehouse represents what is kept and accumulated. Both are primarily spiritual dimensions of capacity before they are physical realities — the enemy can only consume what is not in God's jurisdiction.

Ashes — A temporary stage, not a permanent condition; the residue of fire that God has allowed to burn away everything not of Him, which He then transforms into beauty.

Established — The condition of a believer whose foundation has been shaken and has stood; a believer cannot be truly established without first having gone through a process of shaking that proved what remains.

Stage — Any season of life, whether painful or prosperous, that is temporary in nature and not the believer's permanent dwelling; a transit point in God's process toward the fullness of His blessing.

Storehouse (spiritual) — The believer's spiritual capacity for accumulation and retention of God's blessing — the dimension that, when full, triggers a new level of opposition from spiritual enemies.


Key Takeaways

  • God's ultimate goal for the believer is the nations, not merely provision — Limiting faith to bills and needs is limiting the fullness of what God has designed to give.
  • The blessing of God unfolds in sequential stages, beginning with personal healing and children — Understanding the order prevents confusion when God works on family before finances.
  • Coordinated opposition is a spiritual signal, not a spiritual setback — When enemies rise together, it means the storehouse has been filled and the next dimension is opening.
  • Shaking is a sign of God's trust, not His punishment — The believer who is being shaken is the one God is confident will stand and carry the increase.
  • Accepting every stage — including ashes — is the posture that positions a believer to receive the nations — Resistance to the process delays the beauty; acceptance accelerates it.

Reflection Questions

  1. In what areas of your life have you limited God's blessing to provision — a salary, a mortgage, a need met — rather than believing for the fullness of the nations He has promised?
  2. If the challenges your children or closest family members are currently facing are part of God's purification process before increase, how does that reframe the way you are praying for them?
  3. When coordinated opposition has risen against you, have you responded by glorifying the enemy or by recognising it as a signal that God's blessing is being elevated? What would change if you consistently chose the latter?
  4. What decisions in your life have been made from emotion, pain, or the desire for vindication rather than from faith? What would those decisions look like if they were made from acceptance of God's process?
  5. If everything you are currently going through is a stage and not your permanent residence, what specifically do you need to stop treating as permanent — and what would it look like to walk through it rather than settle in it?

Prayers and Declarations

Speak this declaration aloud:

"I am healed. I am healed physically and spiritually. My account is healed too. My children are healed. My seed is healed. All that will come from me already healed in the name of Jesus."

"I decree and declare in the name of Jesus to everybody that is here and everybody that is watching at home: The Lord is about to give you the nation. God is bringing you not only to the nations but He's giving you the nations."

Lift your voice and pray:

"Father, I thank You! I thank You!"

Lift your right hand to heaven:

"Father in the name of Jesus, I receive the grace that You have ordained for me. Father, You have said that You are giving me the nations. I receive a number of a place that I received a number of people. Father, You have said that You're giving me the nation. Father today, I surrender my heart. Father today, I surrender my heart. Finish Your work in me. Finish Your work in me. Finish Your work in me. In the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus."

"Father, in the name of Jesus, You are the rock that my faith is centered on. Lord Jesus, You are the unshakable rock that Your Father has established me upon. No matter what I see in my life, no matter what happens in my life, Lord Jesus, You are the rock that I am established upon. Whether they are winds, whether they are floods, whether they are storms, I know I will be unshakable. Because Lord Jesus, You have me in Your hands. And if I am in Your hands, nobody can remove me from You. Nobody can move me from You. Nobody can snatch me from You. No way, nobody can snatch me from You. Father, let Your will be done. Father, let Your will be done."

"Father, in the name of Jesus, may Your power rest upon me. May Your power rest upon me. Use me to rescue people. Use me to rescue people. Father in the name of Jesus, may Your power rest upon me. May Your power rest upon me. Use me to deliver people."

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
