Possessing Your Destiny The Lord is preparing us with some good basiclessons of faith. He is preparing us togo out soon as His witness whether individually or behind the pulpit. I feel such an urgency to prepare the saintsfor battle. Your destiny is right in frontof you. Just step out in faith. I have spokento you about foundational things such as salvation, healing and now the secretsof getting into your wealthy place thus possessing your destiny in Christ. You can and will believe for your food andshelter. You are never to be withoutregardless of what the world is facing. Wealthand Riches The first thing that the Lord spoke to me in thislesson was a powerful prophetic Word out of this scripture. (Psa 112:2) His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shallbe blessed. (Psa 112:3) Wealth and riches shall be in His house: and Hisrighteousness endureth forever. Inthe New Testament, the “house” of God is you, the believer. Wealth andriches shall be in you. God isbringing you into your destiny of wealth and riches. Many people work with their potential to comeinto their destiny. In the Spirit, youmust work with the promises to come into your destiny in Christ. It is a sad thing not to reach yourpotential. Speak what should be Next, the Lord gave me this scripture (Rom 4:17) ...and calleth those things which be not asthough they were. Isaac received hisharvest in the same year. (Gen26:12) ThenIsaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and theLORD blessed him. Sound like Kenneth Copeland It would be impossible not to sound just like Kenneth Copeland here,because I have been studying His teachings for more than thirty years. He has always been a powerful influence in mylife. Gloria Copeland Right now the Lord has me studying books from Gloria Copeland. She is touching my life in a most powerfulway. She is an Apostle of Healing. Once when I had taken a lot of hits fromsatan, physically and financially, she sent me a whole packet of books andDVD’s. It was a gift valued at $50 or more. She wasn’t just trying to get money. She was concerned with the Kingdom ofGod. I began to play them continually. God began to pull me out of that battle. In just a few days, I was going full steamagain. Godcreated the heavens and the earth by speaking. He spoke, “Letthere be….” and the next thing we read in Genesis 1, “and there was….” From His unique form of glory, God created the physical world and the entireuniverse from Words that He spoke. Up until that time, matter didnot exist until God spoke it into existence. This is the creative powerof His spoken Word! Look in the firstchapter of Genesis. The way that Godcreated was by speaking it into existence. In Genesis 1:26, we were taught that we were created in the image ofGod. (Gen1:26) AndGod said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them havedominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over thecattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepethupon the earth. This is when we were given power and authority tocreate with our words as God did. Let there be light was not sunshine When God said Letthere be Light in Genesis 1:3 – we know that light was not sunshine, for thesun was not created until the fourth day in Gen. 1:14. So what was that‘light’? Again, from His own unique glory, God released His own Lightenergy which is in every living thing. God’s Light energy exists at thecore of every living cell in this material world. In the process of creating this materialworld, God planted all the plants Man would ever need before Man himself wouldarrive: Gen. 2:5 “And every plant of the field before it was in theearth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had notcaused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.” Gen. 2:8 “And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden;and there he put the man whom he had formed.” Based on these verses,we know that the plants God planted here on earth came from His own dwellingplace: heaven. Man Became a Living Speaking Being By God creating us inHis image and likeness (Gen. 1:26-27), God spoke words of life and dominioninto mankind, and God created Man with this same glory – that same lightenergy. This refers to the spirit of man, not just his flesh which wascreated from the dust of the ground (Gen. 2:7). Man’s spirit camedirectly from the inside of God who “breathed into his nostrils the breath oflife.” Man became a living speaking spirit in God’s image, but the power tocreate is not in Man in and of himself the way satan wants us to believe. Godblessed mankind by giving us the exact same power to create thingssupernaturally by speaking the same words that God speaks. Eden Covenant As we move on in thislesson, this is highly important to know because in Mark 11:22-24 Jesus taught thatbased on the belief we hold in our heart, in the material world we shall havewhatever we say – literally. This unique ability isa result of the Eden blessing; the Eden covenant of God between heaven andmankind. The very same power with which God created man, the universe,all the animals and every plant in this earth, He put that same power on Man,and God intended for mankind to continue expanding the Garden of Eden outwardto replenish the entire earth by speaking the same Word of God! Garden Spot of the Universe This planet shouldhave been the garden spot of the universe! The Garden of Eden should have beenthe worst condition that man would ever experience. God didn’t start thisworld out with His best; God started this planet out with seed from the verystart. This should have been greater, more powerfully displayed andoutstanding. It should have been farmore than any man could ever imagine or ever dream. It should have been greater than anything you could imagine – that’s the blessingthat’s on us!” This blessing that isstill on us allows us to grow heavenly seeds right now, and that our bibles arenot just books, but we have a lap full of heavenly seeds! A seedwill meet any need! It is what’s so wonderful about sowing things,particularly money. You can find this principle throughout the Bible, andwhen we know how to use money properly, money can be an outstanding tool tohave not just financial needs met, but ANY need! Money Has No Real Value. Money itself is not aliving thing and has no real value until it’s turned into goods and services.By itself, money has no value unless one applies fear or faith to it. Forexample, if money becomes one’s security, god, or backup, if one takes on theattitude “well I don’t want to spend my money, I might need that later” (thisis not a teaching against the wise practice of saving an emergency fund orplanning for retirement) – if the motivation is fear of lack or fearof the future, that money now has a value assigned to it by fear and notfaith. Fear Makes Money of No Value to You Once fear is used toassign a value to money, that money is of no use to the holder. Like theunfaithful steward who hid his Lord’s money in the ground instead of investingit to make it grow – that money is like seed in a bag that never gets plantedto reap a mighty harvest. The true value ofmoney is to assign value to it with faith by using it wisely in exchange forgoods and services. One should not live their life in fear as if no more moneywill come their way ever again. Unfortunately, even though it’s well known thatministries need money to operate, some ‘Believers’ still take on this fearfuland ungrateful attitude when it comes to sowing financial seeds into the kingdomof God at offering time. SeekGod First The Bible teaches us in (Matt. 6:33) But seekye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shallbe added unto you. And in (Joh15:7) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,and it shall be done unto you. (Joh15:8) Herein is my Father glorified,that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. He Provides Your Seed as wellas Your Harvest He also teaches in (Isa 55:10) For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth notthither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it maygive seed to the sower, and bread to the eater. Real Purpose of Money God promised to addthe things we need if we make His kingdom our number one priority. So let’sconsider how to do that by looking at the real purpose of money: (Luke6:38) Give, and it shall be given untoyou: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall mengive into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete withalit shall be measured to you again. Whatis the “it” in this verse referringto? Whatever you need! If you need money, plant money intothe kingdom of God by donating to a ministry to help that ministry fulfill itsGod-given assignment to serve the poor and evangelize the world. Plant your financial gift into the kingdom ofGod like a seed so that it can bring back to you much more than you sowed. Law of Seedtime and Harvest Remains It is because as longas the earth remains, the universal principle of seed, time and harvestremains: (Gen. 8:22) While the earth remaineth,seedtime and harvest… shall not cease. This is where God created in His order ofthings, seedtime and harvest. The law of the harvest dictates that you reap thevery thing that you sow. You reap afteryou sow. Consider a single corn seedyields several ears of corn off a single stalk, you always reap more than yousowed. God multiplies our seed sown. So how does this work exactly? In essence, there aretwo parts to the seed. There is an outer husk which carries thelife-giving portion of that seed. When a financial gift is sown into aministry, the money serves as the husk of that seed, and it will meet theministry’s specific material needs. Andjust like God has a wide variety of physical life-giving seeds to meet man’sphysical needs in the form of plants, there is a wide variety of spiritualneeds that man has as well which can and must be met with spiritual seeds. Spiritual seeds are God’s living words: The Seed is the Word of God (Luke 8:11) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the fleshprofiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and theyare life. (Luke 8:11) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word ofGod. In this parable (Luke 8:5-15), Jesus teaches that theWord of God is not just like seed, but is a literal living seed. Successful Ministries Whatever theBeliever’s need is, this is the name that must be assigned to that financialseed in order to give it spiritual life. Many successful ministries attributethe total success of their ministries to this very principle. When you assign aname to that financial seed, money becomes the physical carrier, the outer huskof the spiritual thing you are planting and expecting to come back to you insupernatural abundance. Becoming the Husk When you’re obedientto God and you speak the Word of life over it, then take it in your hands,commit it to God, use scripture on it, and then put the Word of God in that seed thenit becomes the husk that protects the living seed. Power is Not in the Money Itself As far as the giver isconcerned, the power is not in the money itself. That money is a blessing tothat ministry as it will be used in exchange for goods and services accordingto that ministry’s needs. The blessing of the Lord (empowerment tosucceed) makes the giver rich only in the specific area that seed wasassigned. The giver must assign a purpose to that seed according to thegiver’s need, and then the giver must speak God’s Word (a correspondingscripture) into that seed in a verbal prayer to God. Assign purpose to the seed by naming that seed in faith. The believing giverassigns a purpose to that seed by naming it (name that seed the very thingyou’re in need of: name it ‘money’, ‘healing’, ’so and so’s salvation,’ etc.)and put the Word of God in that seed by speaking a corresponding scripture overit. Two Vital Things What are they? (1) Name the seed and (2) Apply the Word toit. If we fail to do these two vitalthings, we won’t have any spiritual life in that financial seed at all. Thisis why many of our financial offerings have gone up to God in vain! Resurrect Dead Offerings Guess what! We canresurrect those dead offerings by asking God to remind us of them, and thenfollow these two steps the right way. Do this! It will be worthyour while! Again, here’s how itworks: if you assign a specific name to that financial seed and speak the Wordof life into it with a corresponding scripture in the same faith-filled mannerthat God spoke Words to make things come to pass, then because you were createdin God’s image and likeness – the scriptures that you speak over that financialgift bring life to that seed and you as the sower will reap a supernaturalharvest of whatever you named that seed to be! Incorruptible Seed Remember, the Word ofGod is incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23) that will never die as long as you water itwith praise and thanksgiving to God as if the thing you’re hoping for hasalready come to pass. And, that seed will not die or be rendered void as longas you don’t speak words of doubt or any words which are contrary to theresults you wish to achieve. Keep a Journal I suggest you keep ajournal to track how God brings life to the prayers and to that seed planted everysingle time! Keep record of your offerings and watch the names you assignto each seed come to pass! A seed will meet any and every need! PraiseGod! If you are in need of healing, then bless your monetary offering by prayingthe healing scriptures over that offering and sow it into a ministry of God. You may need healing in your givingrelationship with God. Applying this Word to Praying for Salvation If you’re concernedabout the salvation of a loved one, do not merely pray like this Oh God, save Uncle James. That’snot the way to get him saved! That’s not a scriptural prayer. He’s right because Jesus taught us, if you’re going to spoil a strong man’shouse, first bind him: (Matt. 12:29) Orelse how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, excepthe first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. According to Jesus, wehave been given the ability to bind and loose, so we better use it: (Matt.18:18) Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be boundin heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose (release) on earth shall be loosed inheaven. If you’re going to get UncleJames saved, speak the words out loud: “You demonic spirit operating in thelife of Uncle James keeping him out ofthe things of God, I bind you in Jesus’ name – now you stop all maneuversagainst Uncle James now in Jesus’ name!” Then, to help Uncle Jamesbe persuaded the right way, loose (release) some labourers into Uncle James’life, for the Bible said to pray that the Lord of the harvest will sendlaborers into the field: (Matt. 9:38) Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that hewill send forth labourers into his harvest. “Father, you knowexactly who Uncle James will listen to, I pray you send laborers across hispath with the Words of his salvation – Now I release my faith in this offering,and I’m sowing this in thanksgiving for Uncle James’ salvation, his healing andthe baptism of the Holy Ghost and the master plan being revealed to him – GloryTo God! Amen!” And then sow thefinancial seed with “Uncle James’ Salvation” labeled on it, and don’t cry overhim ever again. Treat him like he’s saved, talked to him like he’s savedeven when he’s cussing! Treat him like you know he is saved because Godalways fulfills His promises. Youhave insider information. Name Your Seed Whatever the need is in your life, name that seed! “I call this seedHEALING for (whomever)”, but go to the scripture, and speak those scripturesover that seed. What are we talking about? Name that seed! Maybeyou are in need of supernatural debt cancellation. There’s a seed in theWord of God for that too! Supernatural Debt Cancellation It can be a seed forany need. The seed for supernatural debtcancellation is found in (Luke 4:19) Topreach the acceptable year of the Lord. This is the year ofJubilee in which God supernaturally increased the annual harvest in amiraculous way to pay off and cancel all the debt in the times of ancientIsrael, and this same supernatural debt cancellation is available to theBeliever now! Amen! If you are in need of supernatural debt cancellationaccording to God’s Word, you must give a financial seed a specific purpose bynaming it “Supernatural Debt Cancellation” and speak (Luke 4:19) over it like this….TheSpirit of the Lord was on Jesus and He was anointed to preach the acceptableyear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord is on me and I’m anointed toreceive it. Amen!” Then plant that seed into God’s kingdom –Amen! Two things to Remember (1) Communicate the Gospel continually (2) You reap what you sow (Galatians 6:6-7) Lethim that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all goodthings. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,that shall he also reap.. Respond by Giving You the reader willrespond to what you hear by giving and sowing into a good-ground ministry suchas this one in order for it to take root. If you need finances, call youroffering-seed ‘finances’, if you need healing, call your offering-seed‘healing’ etc. and watch God bring what you named back to you in a supernaturalway! If you need a financial miracle,don’t sow your seed into a ministry that doesn’t believe in prosperity. Sow into one that teaches prosperity andGod’s life of .blessings. Read these two verses. Think about how this fits with this conceptof naming your seed sown. (1Jn 5:14) And this is the confidence that we have inhim, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:(1Jn 5:15) And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we havethe petitions that we desired of him. Did you name your seeds? Did you follow through with prayer,thanksgiving and joy because it is already done before you see it in thenatural. Not Let’s Make a Deal Let me remind you thatthis is not Let’s Make a Deal. We’renot paying God off! Forget theworldly/religious point of view because this is the way God instructs us torelease our faith. Name your seed!
