In Genesis 26.1 God appeared to Isaac during worldwide crisis, one of the worst in fact. There was hunger on Earth and everyone was desperate, afflicted, due to scarcity, misery, and hunger. Everyone went down to Egypt searching for help, shelter. When God appeared to Isaac, He told him to stay where he was and not to go to Egypt God promised Isaac to fulfill every promise He made Abraham in his life. Isaac had two choices, he was between two voices, the voice of God, who asks for fidelity and the voice of the devil, which leads us to a life of pain, failure and defeat. He could hear the voice of God, who ordered to stay where he was, and the voice of evil or of men, who went down to Egypt.

Many of us also hear why we pray and seek, as if this were useless and we were wasting our time. If Isaac went to Egypt without God's permission, he would go alone. When you do something according to God, He will go with you, but when you act with defiance, you go alone, God doesn't come with naughty ones.

Even if it sounds crazy, improbable, impossible, with God's blessing, you can, but without the blessing of God, even if everything looks like it's going to work, it won't. Those who saw Isaac stay, it was crazy, but he did what God asked him to do. The lack of winning, of fulfilling dreams and projects, it`s because many people want to accomplish things their own way. Stop stalling and do for your consciousness, because the direction of God, the way that God guides, that will always be better. When God tells you to go, He's going with you and everything goes right, when God orders you to stay and you stay, even what was supposed to go wrong, it works. The secret of victory is obedience. Defeats and failure in life are the result of disobedience and rebellion. For God to be with you, you have to walk in the same direction. Isaac turned and picked up a hundred times more than he could, because God was with him, because he obeyed the order of God.
