God is the source of our resource...
Both riches {wealth, - from another Hebrew word which means "to accumulate, to grow, make rich} and honor {weight, splendor, glory} come of {or from} thee, and thou reignest {to rule, have dominion, governor, have power} over all; and in thine hand is power {to be firm, vigor, capacity, means, produce, force, might, strength, wealth} and might {force, valor, victory, mastery, strength - from another Hebrew word which means "powerful, warrior, champion, chief, excel, tyrant, giant, strong man, valiant man"}; and in thine hand it is to make great {advance, bring up, exceed, increase, magnify, nourish up, promote}, and to give strength {to fasten upon, cure, help, repair, fortify...} unto all. 1 Chronicles 29:12
This is it beloved! The time is now to declare apostolically and prophetically and to demonstrate present day truth that God the Father is pouring into the corporate body of Christ supernatural wealth and prosperity to advance the kingdom of God, to meet the needs of the saints, and to purposefully enjoy unto the praises of His glory!
With this in mind, you can dismiss this truth and say that all wealth leads to covetousness, or accept the truth and say it can power-fuel the very purpose of God for administrating his resources in the earth. For the two main tangible and powerful mechanisms in advancing the kingdom are (1) kingdom people and (2) kingdom finances. And to support just how important the proper allocation and stewardship of money is, it would be good to turn now to Ecclesiates 10:19 and read...
A feast is made for laughter {to have a good time}, and wine makes merry: but money {honey} answers {to eye, to heed, pay attention, respond, to begin to speak, testify, announce, give account, bear witness} all things.
Tonight we shall impart prophetically into your hearing the word of the Lord concerning Wealth and Prosperity. We declare that God is pouring into the church wealth resource and tangible prosperity not only in heralding the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, but into the very life of his people to enjoy the good of the land. True, prosperity is not only in the temporal and physical dimension, but also, spiritual, and there are contingent blessings of prosperity for his people. However, let's focus on the truth which is, that God is not against you having to enjoy the provisions of his wealth and prosperity in His season and in HIS way, but simply admonishes us to guard our heart against covetousness {greed}, and our dependency and trust in tangible riches and resources.
Let God Be True...
For centuries, the popular belief held among many believers were...
"If you really love the Lord and want to serve him in all humility, you have to live in a vow of poverty!" If you love the Lord, you can't afford to be rich {or enriched} as this will bring a snare to your soul!" If you want to make it to heaven, you have to give up all of your goods to prove worthy and fit for eternity!" If you are rich, materially prosperous and wealthy, give it all away as this will become a stumbling-block to many, even your own self!" And, If you are ever found praying and thanking God for the super-abundant provisions of the Lord for his people in any form, shape, or fashion, then forget it, because Jesus is coming soon, and we won't have the time to be enjoying it anyway! In fact, we should be thinking on souls and not the sales in the store, or the soles of our feet {new shoes}...! Just Jesus, and nothing else!"
Need I remind you that the spirit of poverty is accentuated through such commonly held beliefs as these, with a hidden agenda to diminish the capacities of the saints in advancing the kingdom? For as long as the church remains in fear of sin through the accumulation of purposeful material wealth, then the supernatural dimension of wealth and prosperity will be potentially hindered in many from its rightful use and appropriation in the corporate body of Christ and in the destiny of nations.
Nevertheless, God has a word for our wealth and prosperity, and it's time that we heard the conclusion of the whole matter before dismissing the whole thing altogether. We need to be open to the voice of the Lord in his appointed leaders and not become skeptic for the few that have veered off the right path. For this message and ministry of God's supernatural provision is one accompanied with signs, wonders, miracles, and mighty deeds. It shall astound and convince many that God is our source, in both the tangible and intangible blessings.
{Guarding against Covetousness and Trust in Wealth & Riches}
Below are some scriptural references to encourage our heart to have the motive and mind of the kingdom, which is love. In 1 Corinthians 13, love is a person, and God so loved that he gave according to John 3:16. Love, the motive and heartbeat of the kingdom, endures long, is kind, envies not, not arrogant or boisterous, nor is it a braggart. Love personified {Christ Jesus} and the motive of the kingdom does not behave itself in an indecent manner, does not seek its own, not easily provoked, thinks or ponders no evil, nor does it rejoice in sin or iniquity. With this in mind, love rejoices in the truth, bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. It is a life manifesting consistently God's unending and abounding love.
Unlike lust, which is compulsory, love gives!
Now, let's look at the negative uses of wealth, riches, and prosperity first. Afterwards, we will further establish the laws and principles of prosperity even God's will to enjoy abundant life here on earth. John 10:10; 3 John 2-4; Deuteronomy 8:18
They spend there days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; we desire not the knowledge of your ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have if we pray unto him?
Job 21:13-15
Job 21:13-15
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
Proverbs 18:11
Proverbs 18:11
The rich man is wise in his own conceit...Proverbs 28:11
Thus says the Lord...let not the rich man glory in his riches. Jeremiah 9:23
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity. Ezekiel 7:19
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic have thou increased thy riches, and your heart is lifted up because of thy riches. Ezekiel 28:5
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:21-23
Mark 10:21-23
Woe unto you that are rich! For you have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! For you shall hunger. Luke 6:24-25
And he {Jesus} said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of things, which he possesses. Luke 12:15-16 {17-21}
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous heard all these things...Luke 16:13-14
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but the living God, who gives richly all things to enjoy. 1 Tim. 6:17
Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom. Will you set your eyes upon that which is nothing? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Proverbs 23:4-5
Therefore, my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he has gotten are perished. Jer. 48:36
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Mark 4:19
For he is proud...supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out...But they that be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, {Also James 2:6-7; 5:1-5; 1 John 3;17}
1 Timothy 6:4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, {Also James 2:6-7; 5:1-5; 1 John 3;17}
Laws and Principles of Prosperity
The laws and elements of prosperity are built into creation itself. Many ungodly men and women have tapped into kingdom principles and have amassed millions of dollars for their personal success. Relationship experts, motivational speakers, peak performance lecturers, entrepreneurs, and many others have practiced some of the principles, which characterize or reveal in part or parcel these divine laws. From coaches of major league sports teams, to home managers from the most remote places of the Midwest, these laws and principles have been practiced for centuries and are not to be anything entirely new to the saints. And, kingdom principles are not exclusive to being a Christian either.
According to Genesis 8:22, there is the first mention of the law of Seed, Time and Harvest. This major kingdom principle is found in the development of every living thing in earth, sky, and sea. The law of seed, time, and harvest is a perpetual one, and is noted among farmers, who, in the understanding of many present truth ministers, have one of the closest earthly professions {and functionalities} to God. Mark 4:26-29; Matthew 13:19-23, 24-30, 31-32; John 12:24. For their very own job specifically entails sowing and reaping...
And our very lives can be inventoried by a process of development through seed, time, and harvest. If we sow attitudes of fear and frustration, we reap it. If we sow hate, bitterness, and discord, we reap it. If we sow doubt, confusion, and worry, we reap it. If we sow gossip and backbiting, we will surely reap it! That's seed, time, and harvest, good or bad, positive or seemingly negative. {Galatians 6:7-8}
On the other hand, if we sow the fruit of the Spirit, we will reap it. If we sow intercession of others, we will reap intercession. If we sow faith, we will reap it. If we sow hospitality, generosity, and kindness we reap it. If we sow mercy we will reap it.
Whatever we sow, we simply reap! {Acts 4:34-37; 5:1-11}
Five Important Laws with Governing Principles Each For HIS Prosperity for your LIFE
It is the will of God to prosper His people. It is His will to see us joyful, happy, blessed, healthy, and having all of our needs met according to HIS RICHES and HIS GLORY! {Philippians 4:11-13, 17-19}. We are not measuring ourselves by ourselves in accordance to what we think one another should be by the conventional and world wisdom. Not so, we are simply stating that God's plan of prosperity and wealth has specific purposes, and specific seasons of increase and abundance. Prophetically, one must know their season, discern the times, and to move ahead accordingly to what the Lord has tailor-made in expression for their life. All are not going to be multi-millionaires, but it should not stop us from operating kingdom principles and spiritual laws anyway.
Beloved, I wish above all things thou you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers {the whole man}. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth. 3 John 2-4
The words prosper here means "to help on the road, pass, succeed in reaching, figuratively, to succeed in business affairs, and to have a prosperous journey."
It is not a bad word at all. It only appears sinful when men abuse the principles of the word, or turn away from God altogether. And, when there is trust in one's own riches and wealth, or the accumulation of riches through covetousness or greed, in this you will find a more negative connotation of the word "prosperity."
Nevertheless, prosperity is not inherently evil, nor is having money. It is what you do with what you have, as God is the true owner, and we are the stewards. Stewardship is the key principle here in how prosperity is received and dispensed. If we misapply God's laws in HIS prosperity, we could easily abuse or misuse the resources and provisions given, and become ineffective in advancing the kingdom.
Now, let's define the word prosper, prosperous, and prosperity from the overview of scripture, as we reference in part some of these scriptural definitions...
The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper {to push forward, break out, go over, be profitable} your way {or, make things work out}...Genesis 24:40
...that you may prosper {to be circumspect, to be intelligent, consider, expert, instruct, give skill, have good success, make understand} wherever you go...Joshua 1:7
...God made him to prosper. {to push forward} 2 Chronicles 26:5
...The God of heaven, he will prosper us...{push forward} Nehemiah 2:20
...it shall prosper {push forward} in the thing whereto he sends it. Isaiah 55:11
...they shall prosper {to be tranquil, secure or successful, be happy, be in safety}
that love you...Psalms 122:6
that love you...Psalms 122:6
...and the hand of the children of Israel prospered {to walk}...Judges 4:24
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity {good, a good thing, well, better, cheerful, bountiful}, and their years in pleasures. Job 36:11
...Let the Lord be magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity {Hebrew - Shalom - safe, well, happy, health, welfare, peace} of his servants. Psalms 35:27
...Lord, I beseech you, send now prosperity {break out, push forward, go over, akin to another word to advance} Psalms 118:25
Peace be within your walls, and prosperity {security, abundance, quietness} within your palaces. Psalms 122:7
I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous {break out, go over}. Isaiah 48:15
...and in his own house, he prosperously effected {break out, go over, push forward}.
2 Chronicles 7:11
2 Chronicles 7:11
In essence we see that GOD's nature is prosperity, and is not limited to money. Money is a means, but God is the source and resource, therefore, Prosperity is first spirit, then soul, then body. God promises in His word to make our way prosperous and to have good success or to do wisely, as we apply and appropriate the provisions of HIS word.
The Lord makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: 1 Samuel 2:7-8
Here, the Lord promotes as in Psalms 75:6-7. He puts one down, and sets up another. He is gracious to whom gracious, and merciful to whom merciful. He is God and changes not in character. He's not governed by time and cannot be confined or conformed to external affairs. He is God all by Himself...
1 - Prosperity is the will of God, in spirit, soul, and body. To teach that God wants us whole in our spirit and soul, and not in our tangible substance is not the body of Christ. The more saints get a hold of this, the further we can {A} advance the gospel of the kingdom abroad and {B} meet specific needs as apostolic ambassadors and humanitarians in the earth. For this is an important two-fold use of the prosperity of his servants.
2 - Prayer through faith with appointed action based on God's word and will for your LIFE helps to operate the laws or principles of HIS prosperity
Hebrews 11:6 says, "For without faith it is impossible to please him, for he which comes to God must believe, and that he is a "rewarder" of them which diligently seek him."
Faith is simply firm persuasion, conviction based upon hearing. It is the assurance and confidence in God, the title deed, and the proof of what you don't see. Faith perceives as real what is not revealed to the senses. It is constantly before the Lord, in the presence of Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 11:1, 3, 6; 12:2-3
According to Romans 1:16, the just shall live by faith...
In Mark 11:24, Jesus says, "Whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." If God says it in his word, and you believe that it is for you based on the tailor-made will of God for your life, then Amen {So be it}. You have the promise of the word, which is God himself! {Yeah and Amen}
3 - Putting God First and Foremost in your LIFE
But seek you first {and foremost} the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all of these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
4 - The divine law of honoring the Lord with our substance
Honor the Lord with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:9-10
5 - The saints must recognize the Principle of Seed for Sowing and Bread for Eating:
Of the top ten means of becoming wealthy and prosperous in life is the principle of sowing seed...Besides investments, real estate, internet businesses, etc., sowing generously is a key method with purposeful cheerful giving. It is not always a matter of being led to give, but in having a heart to give. Life and gratitude is an attitude, and our attitude can determine our altitude.
Beloved, giving is living, and living is giving!
Theresa and me live to give, and love to give!
In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening, withhold not your hand...
Ecclesiates 11:6
Ecclesiates 11:6
In Genesis 26 Isaac sowed in famine and reaped 100-fold that same year!
In Luke 6:38 Jesus said, "Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom."
The way you give is of your time, talents, and treasures. Even giving yourself to God as a reasonable sacrifice reveals in part your willingness to give of your substance. Why? For Giving is Living and Living is Giving!
Galatians 6:7-8 speaks of the law of sowing and reaping.
2 Corinthians 9:6 says, "If we give sparingly, we will reap sparingly, and if we sow bountifully, we will reap bountifully."
If saints refuse to become givers IN God then this shows a lack of generosity towards God, and also suggest to the world that we serve a God who is least generous himself.
In truth, God is not moved merely by your needs alone but by your seed!
God's Kingdom Economy and Wealth Factor...
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. Genesis 43:22 {Bank account, credit account, etc.}
God wants us supernaturally blessed and increased in all good things. {James 1:17}
You shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand unto, you, and your households, wherein the Lord your God has blessed you. Deuteronomy 12:7
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had...1st Chronicles 1:12
He filled their houses with good things. Job 22:18
The Lord wants to fill your house up with good things; furniture, beds, fabric, mirrors, food, clothing, shoes, and much more. This is a covenant provision. {Spiritual house, too! John 14:2}
They that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. Psalms 34:10
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits...Psalms 68:19
He left not himself without witness, in that he did well and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. Acts 14:17
Power to Get Wealth
All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe {be careful} to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord promised to your fathers. And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, to learn what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled you and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God does man live. Your raiment waxed not old upon you, nor did your foot swell, these forty years. You shall also consider {remember} in your heart, that, as a man chasten his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.
Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the Lord your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills: A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey. A land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land, which he has given you. Deuteronomy 8:1-10
And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish {bring to pass} his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8:17-18
Now, the principal understanding of Deuteronomy 8 reveals that supernatural wealth and prosperity comes from God, and not merely by our own means and external efforts such as working overtime, or working two and three different jobs. This wealth is from the divine enablement and supernatural ability of the Spirit of God and is purposed to bring testimony and praise to the Lord throughout the earth.
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto you; and I will give you riches, and wealth...2 Chronicles 1:12
The word "wealth" in Deuteronomy 8, and in a number of other scriptures, is from the Hebrew word "Chayil {khay-yil} and is defined as "force {whether of men, resources, or army - wealth, virtue, valor, strength, able, activity, band of men or soldiers, great company, goods, host, power, might, riches, virtuous."
Even the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31:10 holds the exact same Hebrew definition...
In the language of the Spirit, God is converting over to his people some serious resources, as in the word found in Exodus 36:7...
So the people were restrained from bringing. For the stuff {deputy-ship, employment, work, business, occupation, industry, property, etc.} they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Now that's a really interesting pattern of giving! To be restrained from Giving versus constraining others to give? O Lord, Help us!
Proverbs 13:22 says...A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
There is a conversion process going on in the Spirit, and it's time that the church get a hold of this truth and watch the manifestation of hidden treasures come to light...If our eschatology is dismal with a chaotic conclusion, we will not arrest, access, and assess the nations for global destiny. Instead, our fear of the endtimes as some would put it, will shape our thinking process towards kingdom economy, and our focus will be aimed for a quick flight out of this madness instead of the Meek inheriting the earth...
And I will give you the treasures {depository, cellar, armory, storehouse} of darkness {stuff where you never thought it would come from, or appear}, and the hidden riches {secret storehouse, a secreted valuable, money, hid treasure} of secret places {The coin in the fish's mouth, pocket books, wallets, bank accounts, policies, inheritances, investments, commodities, and most of all, things you could never fathom or imagine}, that you may know that I, the Lord, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 45:3
Psalms 66:10-13
For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid affliction upon our loins. You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you brought us out into a wealthy place. I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows. Wealth here is defined as Satisfaction, abundance, and that which runs over and over."
Luke 6:38...Pressed down, shaking together, and running over...
The Lord is turning our captivity away, and making us into people that trust him for everything. Matthew 6:33
Let us stop for this first segment and pray and rejoice together in the Lord of Provision and for the Provision of the Lord...
Father, In Jesus' name, I thank you for the supernatural abundance, wealth, and prosperity of your people, and the universal joy that shall resound throughout all of the earth just how generous, great and mighty you are. I thank you for the manifestation of the Spirit through kingdom wealth, finance, and reformed kingdom economics, and the converting of the wealth of this world over into the saints of the Lord most high. To advance the kingdom of God, and to meet the specific and strategic needs of your people in Jesus name. I decree by the Spirit of the Lord, that wealth and prosperity shall spring forth in marvelous ways and means, confounding {and breaking into pieces} even the very enemy and adversary thereof. In fact, I thank you that the enemy will have to surrender our goods, and bring them to our feet, for you said every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Christ is Lord to the glory of God. Therefore I thank and praise your name for the fulfillment of your word in the lives of your people, and a new praise in the earth that will cause the glory of God to drop down like the rain as never before, to water the earth and your precious people as it is becoming a TIDE of apostolic and prophetic events to transcend many generations, a memorial unto the Lord in Jesus name. To you be the glory and honor, dominion and power, in Jesus' matchless name! Amen and so be it!
Segment 2
Recently taught in the Houston 5-fold conference, April 2000: 2 Chronicles 20:20; Acts 4:35-37
An Apostolic and Prophetic exhortation of the transference of colossal, magnificent, and unprecedented wealth… from the bank account of the new millennium into the bank account of the victorious, glorious, and overcoming church!
In Isaiah 60 the Spirit quickens our hearts indeed of the universal {Uni - one, Verse - a sequence of words} truth that one of God's ultimate intentions through the socio-economic realm is for the saints to possess unprecedented wealth in the advancement the kingdom, and to enjoy it faithfully in the Lord as we honor Him with our substance.
There is a divine shifting with new patterns developing in the church for a new kind of faith and a new kind of harvest. Prophetically, there is perceived and is now being proclaimed that the supernatural wealth factor is being Pioneered through a new-breed of A-1 saints, a people of kingdom authority that has the mind of the Spirit to discern where these measures and treasures of prophetic prosperity is coming from, even to the speaking forth of these glorious dimensions for the full manifestation of wealth and kingdom finance unto kingdom advancement.
Though the prophetic may cause you to cross over Jordan to inherit the apostolic blessings, it is the apostolic dimension, which establishes and disburses this new interacting paradigm and dimensional shifting of unprecedented kingdom wealth with the administration of present truth apostles. Together with the prophets, the apostles are trailblazing a new dynamic in the corporate anointing to oversee this new wealth factor, which is being released through the Spirit of God for such a time as this. This new dimension of financial wealth shall usher in the glory of the Lord throughout the ends of the earth, and shall cause the nations to realize the true source of salvation, wealth, health, prosperity, and well being, which is the Lord God Himself.
From Interfering to Transferring
By reviewing Webster's New World Dictionary I have discovered importantly that in order to proclaim the abundant harvest and inheritance of the corporate saints, one must consider the position we have in the Spirit, and the antagonizing force of that spiritual position.
Now, the negative idea of interfering is where many saints are grossly preoccupied. For them, interference is the daily onslaught of countless many who would rather conclude that God's promises are Nay instead of Yeah! For them, the continuous struggle for deliverance, breakthrough, and blessing has become such a familiar thing, that daring to believe beyond the confines of frustrating struggles may seem a bit too far-fetched.
With whispering hopes that heaven is the only real solution out of their hectic problems, many saints resort to rapture-mania and visions of Beulah Land {or Fantasy Island} as a means of escape from the subtle and overt attacks against their wealth preservation, or in truth, their position of the Spirit, the pre-ordained and pre-fixed revelation of God for their lives.
Nevertheless, in all hopes of each saint finding rest in the Lord in all things, I begin to ponder a bit just how colossal and awesome God is in dealing with us.
From Interfering to Transferring, continued…
Alluding to our earlier mentioned sub-topic, let's define the principles of both the Words "Interfering [interference] and transferring [transference]."
Interference has to do with the idea of coming into collision or opposition with. It has also to do with coming in or between for some purpose, and to intervene. If you are referring to Radio and Television, Sports {particularly Football}, Physics, and Patent Law, the term "Interference" carries differing aspects and shades of meaning as well.
Interference is not to be viewed from a negative disposition only, as if satan is gaining ground on what God has for you. But interfering can be a sovereign intervention of the Lord Most High. Here, interfering can actually be God's way of baffling the minds of men through the unfathomable riches and resources of his glory. It can simply mean that the Lord of Hosts is transcending and superseding finite and limited mentalities, bringing into manifestation, tangibility, and substance the creative and proceeding {NOW} Word of the Lord in the midst of those whom he chooses.
So shall my word be that goes forth {proceeding word - Matthew 4:4; Romans 10:17; Ephesians 6:18 - rhema, uttered, and quickening word} out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but will accomplish what I please; and shall prosper in the thing that I send it. Isaiah 55:11
Yes beloved, in the purest sense, it is the Lord who is turning over the tables of men, to divinely accomplish his desired, intended, and decreed purpose from the beginning...
With God the Father, his counsel shall stand and he will do all of his pleasure! {Isa. 46:10}
Now, the word "Transference" is indeed a rather interesting word. However, to cover the basic definition and meaning of the word "Transference," let us look also at the word "Transfer." Here, the word "Transfer is defined primarily as "To carry, convey, remove, or send from one person, place, or position to another."
But the question revolving around your mind may be "What is this great transferring all about? What does it entail, and for what purpose? Are we being divinely set up by God to receive an abundance of corporate release, unprecedented global wealth increase of the most colossal kind?
From the corporate standpoint, yes! God is actively increasing within his church unstoppable massive momentum of new millennium wealth for a new destiny. This transferring of wealth from heaven and earth is more than just getting our needs met. It is bringing about a bold new witness to creation that God is truly a very good God, is faithful to all generations, is generous and gratuitous in nature.
Mentalities Transformed to God's Kingdom Wealth
The new wealth factor is spreading over the nations like a blanket from heaven. It will cover the earth in awesome wonder, as the world system will bow its knee to the Most High God of the Most Holy Place. Angelic demonstration of the wealth harvest will become more evident in the affairs of the saints, as multitudes of saints will testify of the supernatural dimension of wealth and kingdom resources in their bank accounts, and any other receptacle of expenditure or savings.
More and more, saints abroad will discover their credit reports with a new twist. The Year of Jubilee, The Feast of Tabernacles, The Lord's Release, and the Acceptable Year of the Lord shall become a present truth reality to countless many on a very tangible level. The prison doors of old order mentalities will become unlocked to new realities of the Spirit. Billions and Trillions of dollars shall arise out of the sea of uncertainty, and shall swim ashore to the land of doubly fruitful. For as it stands, there is enough wealth in the entire world that could end poverty for all people right now. Yes, there is enough wealth resources for every person on this planet to enjoy the good of the land, to have their home paid off, vehicle, too, and to adapt a business plan to continuing the perpetual wealth factor in kingdom designed to the betterment of their serve one to another as unto the Lord. Deuteronomy 8, 28,
Now understand, that money is but one part of the economy of God, the means to transfer, allot, and engage in legal venues of financial expression. However, when referring to wealth and money, one can't help but associate the two. Therefore, let us look at the distinctive meanings of both money and wealth. Money is defined from the Webster's New World Dictionary as "Standard pieces of gold, silver, copper, nickel, etc., stamped by government authority and used as a medium of exchange and measure of value. Any paper note issued by a government or and authorized bank and used in the same way." Any substance or article can be used as money or exchange, including property {houses, land, automobiles, jewelry, etc.}, possessions, accounts, timeshare, stocks, bank notes, precious metals, natural resources and checks. But again, money is but one part of the matter as kingdom wealth is the mentality or mindset that moves the money about.
Wealth
Wealth does not merely begin or end with money, but wealth is a state of being and a way of LIFE. Money is important to circulate, but God is getting us into a new mentality that will shift money, and all other needed exchanges, into a new sphere and dimension of grace and glory with God. For the highest kind of wealth is GOD himself, he is source to our resource.
Wealth is an idea. In the Middle English definition of wealth, it carries too, the meaning of happiness. Wealth began as God's idea from Genesis 1:28. Man was given dominion over the earth, and all of its wealth resources. Wealth was God's idea from the start, as man was given a five-fold charge to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue, and have dominion. Genesis One bears record of the first Great Commission of man. We like to call this the Dominion Mandate, for everything about God's dealings with man begins with Dominion, the King's Domain! It is the first Great Commission. Everything God is doing through the church today points back to the original plan, design, intent, and purpose of God for man to have kingdom dominion in the earth. Everything!
Therefore, one must define wealth from the standpoint that God is in control, and that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein...

Wealth which reforms the church to reform and transform the nations
The church needs to be brought into a new upward spiral and frequency of the Spirit to receive and administrate the abundance of grace God has for it through wealth resource.
As an apostle, along with many others across the globe in apostolic diversity, there is a new perception and apprehension of the wealth transfer from the New Millennium leader-shift {21st century preparation} into the Corporate Body of Christ, released through the body to impact nations, and to change our world through dominion, the liberating influence of the King and His Kingdom.
There is coming to pass colossal wealth resource of the most glorious kind that will cause even the world to recognize the Father God as their true source. Somehow, men world over will discover their hidden genius and potential by observing the saints at large coming into diversified wealth management and reformed kingdom economics. In a matter of time, businesses all over the world will begin to think differently about God, and the corporate glory of the saints. For the real reason why the supernatural wealth shall saturate the church is as follows…
…The Spirit of the Lord is bringing a new paradigm and dimensional of financial reformation and renewal to the church to change the world. The world shall begin to see that it is the saints of the Lord most High who is the true standard of kingdom community, not the government of the land. By moving our mindsets from Christian to King Priest, or from church to kingdom, we bring a whole new influence in the earth .
…The Spirit of the Lord is causing the saints to become responsible in financial matters. No more will the saints at large decree in faith for the erasure of bad debt, which many have accrued through their own disappointing efforts. But the Lord is going to cause a new shift and pattern of events to transpire in the corporate church, and in the mindsets and mentalities of HIS people, to get the saints to see that it is not only the need to ask in faith for closure of old debts, but to become better stewards itself...New ways and means of circulating and communicating wealth resources...
…The Spirit of the Lord is causing a new sound to roar over the nations, as more businesses will develop covenant relationships with apostles and prophets. Prophets of the NOW configuration of the Kingdom are given the divine foresight and insight of where the wealth harvest is, but it is the apostles of the Spirit with the prophets, who will administrate and execute this wealth strategy through the church to the nations. As in Acts 4 and 5, the possessions, wealth, and provisions shall continue to be laid at the apostles' feet.
…The Spirit of the Lord is raining down a deluge of His glory to dispense to the saints abroad the means to becoming good stewards in their personal life. More and more saints will get their houses in order, and shall show forth as a witness to others that believers can be trustworthy, honest, genuine, and true in their dealings one with another, even to those who profess not the Lord.
…The Spirit of the Lord is causing a massive wave of transferred wealth to infuse the church, and the church shall infuse the world system with new territorial and global authority. The news reports shall keep the world abreast of the happenings of the church, as the United Nations, the capitals of our nations, and the ruling governments of this world will look to find answers among the corporate saints. We are speaking of global transformation...
…The Spirit of the Lord shall cause the earth to tremble at the mention of the saints. Daniel 7 confirms that the saints are the ones who possess the kingdom. Through Christ we shall fully possess the kingdoms of this world, and the heathen shall become our inheritance.
…The Spirit of the Lord is causing a fire to burn in the midst of his saints, as this reveals a new kind of witness and evangelization. This new evangelization shall ignite reformation fire, which shall spread over the nations. For the Lord who answers by fire shall cause many unbelievers to know him through the stability of financial stewardship among the saints. There shall arise a new breed of evangelization from the reformation of wealth and finance. Barriers between poor and rich shall be broken down. Mammon shall bow its knee to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, as unbelievers shall witness the joy in serving God honestly with all of their heart and with all of their substance.
…The Spirit of the Lord shall cause a New River to flow throughout the nations. Wealth shall abundantly increase in Third World nations. People all over the world shall see that their purpose attracts provision, and their destiny shall be fulfilled with the aid and support of exchangeable means to accomplish their given purpose. Unprecedented giving shall increase magnificently throughout the earth. The body of Christ shall have more than enough to herald the gospel and advance the kingdom abroad. Giving shall exceed the expectations of many elders as the church comes into divine order in giving and receiving, and in right relationships in vertical and horizontal ministries. This same pattern will affect change in our socio-economic infrastructure, bringing revolutionary and radical changes in all sectors of the nations. The oppressed shall be set free, and a new respect to God, his people, and one another shall reach into the vast heavens. Giving shall become a way of living, and living shall be an expression of our heart in giving. Stinginess shal be no more but a whisper, a past fading, an old story of the unfolding of HIS glory...
Arise and Shine!
Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people. But the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all gather themselves together: they come to you: your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
Then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear and be enlarged: because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto you. The wealth of the nations shall come to you. Therefore your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day or night, that men may bring unto you the wealth of the nations…
Isaiah 60:1-5, 11
Apostolic Blessings, feed the seed and nurture the nature for by divine enlightenment you are becoming what you already are...
