ROMANS 4:13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
ROMANS 4:16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
GALATIANS 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
EPHESIANS 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
PHILIPPIANS 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:12 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
1 TIMOTHY 4:8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
1 TIMOTHY 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
JAMES 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
JAMES 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
JAMES 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord–that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
1 PETER 3:9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
1 PETER 3:10 For “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile;
2 PETER 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
1 JOHN 4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
3 JOHN 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.

The Jewish scribes divided the Law of Moses into 613 commandments, 248 positive and 365 negative (Hendriksen. 809). This included the Ten Commandments, the heart of the Law (Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:1-22). All of these laws are contained in the four books, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Thus, although Jews referred to all five books of Moses as “the Law,” technically the Law was limited to these books. In fact, the Law proper is confined to Exodus chapters 20-31; 35-39; the book of Leviticus; Numbers chapters 5-6; 8:1 – 9:14; chapters 26 – 30; and Deuteronomy 4:44 – 26:19.

But where sin (the offence) abounded, grace did much more abound:

Where sin was (abounded) in our lives the grace of God is given to us through our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, it replaces the sin and is in super abundance. It is so much greater than the sin we have lived in that the grace makes it appear that there was never any sin in our lives.

Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is clear that sin has reigned unto death due to the fact that men die. But it is not just the physical death that men must deal with but death in every part of life. Many Christians have missed the fact that sickness, disease, and all types of lack is due to sin which all lead to death.

In like manner grace was given to us so that it would reign in our life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What this means is that we should not live under the things that caused death in our old lives. And that we should reign so much that we can hardly remember what the old life consisted of.

Even when we are told that grace is this amazing it is difficult for us to enter into this place where grace completely erases all of the death and defeat from our lives. Accomplishing this goal is easier than many would believe. The problem is many of us are so needy that we need a miracle to get back to level ground. The grace of God will perform miracles if you need one and many of us need one!

Death is the answer! You must Die! Not in the flesh but to the flesh! The dead can’t praise God but we must reckon our lives dead to sin and live unto God through His grace.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is very clear that we must think of ourselves as dead with Christ so that we can live in the resurrection and the grace of God! Romans chapter 7 deals with the freedom from sin through death of the self life. Please read it again and again until it becomes yours.

We must again ask God for grace in every area of our lives and everything that we do in life.

1Thessaloians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

You are saved by grace so that the one who saved you could live through you so that He would be everywhere in the natural as He is in the spiritual. It is time to reign in life through Jesus’ death and now through His life! Amen!!!!

Amazing Grace
John Newton (1725-1807)
Stanza 6 anon.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
When a person experiences the Grace of God it is more amazing than the mind can comprehend. The word grace itself rings true in your heart with an awesome sound more majestic than anything heard in the earth.
Understanding the fact that we were in total need to be saved from the world and even ourselves makes the Grace that God sends through JESUS cause us to embrace Him even more.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
The understanding that we were lost is the only way to understand that we are found. The understanding that we were blind is the only way we can know that true sight has come. A person who is going under water and is drowning understands how blessed they are to be saved and to have breath breathed back into their body.
A person who receives sight when they have walked around in complete darkness will marvel at the smallest of things that the average person takes for granted.
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
There are two types of fear spoken of in this verse. The first is the fear that Grace produces. This is the fear of God because He was the one powerful enough to free us from sin, death and hell so that we are found in His love.
The second is the fear that comes from the world system and hell itself; it destroys faith. Grace removes all of this type of fear so that you can embrace the true fear which will produce wisdom in your life.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
At the very moment a person believes that JESUS is the one who brought this Grace to the world then Grace becomes one of the most precious things found in the entire earth. And takes place immediately!

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
The reason you can come through dangers, toils and snares is because of Grace and Grace alone. We need God’s Grace to be the supply for life so that we can come through issues.
This verse indicates that Grace has already brought us through!
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Grace of God is used to live by in the earth and it is the Grace of God that will get us to our heavenly home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
(Many times this stanza is left out when this awesome song is sung.)
The Lord has already given us many promises of His goodness and all of them are received as a free gift which is the Grace of God. The word of God is the way that we learn how to live in the Grace of God!
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
The one who saved us and gave us GRACE is the same one who is our shield and portion and His name is JESUS! Learn to live in the faith of the Son of God!
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
There is an understanding that we all will die but if we live or die it is all through and for Jesus by the Grace He provided.
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
There is an entering in behind the heavenly veil to begin a new existence and life unlike anything I have experienced on earth but must still live by the Grace that JESUS provided for me.
When we’ve been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
It doesn’t matter how long we are in heaven, we will live by His Grace and the brightness.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.
We sing the praises of God in the earth and we will forever sing His praises mainly for the Grace that He has provide for our lives through HIS Son JESUS!

This morning was very interesting because I had a dream where I had to cast out a demon from a person I haven’t seen in several years. It was a very strong spirit but in the end I was able to cast it out. The thing that I noted the most about the dream was the fact that my mouth was dry during the ordeal but I knew it was important to speak what the Lord was saying to me directly into the ear of the person being delivered.

The more I spoke to the demon, which appeared to be a principality because of the strength and the way I had to physically fight with the person, the dryer my mouth became but I knew not to stop speaking. Through some supernatural strength, which since I was the only one in the dream dealing with this spirit it had to be God, the demon was defeated.

The person then got up and celebrated Christ and honored me. I immediately woke up and looked at the clock, it read 2:12 a.m. But I decided to go back to sleep and woke back up at exactly 2:21 a.m. which contains the same numbers.

This caught my attention and made me get up to see what the numbers meant. The dream was interesting but I’ve had similar dreams before. However the same numbers right after the dream wasn’t a mistake and I knew it.

The numbers carried with them very important meanings.

Both numbers relate to the exact same word in Hebrew “DABAR” which means to speak.
Even though they are different values there is different speaking of the many Hebrew words which give them different numerical values. For the word ‘speak’ to carry a different value but the same numbers; of which I woke up to see on my clock twice right after a dream where speaking played a very large part, was not a mistake.

If you were in church this week then you know that my message had to do with our mouth as the Lord instructed me about this as an answer to His promise of the turnaround we need in our lives.

Sit down right now and right out a confession over the areas of life that you want to see change in and begin to speak them over your life. DO IT NOW!

This was a difficult fight and my mouth was very dry. The dryness is a sign of lack but the Lord required that I keep speaking through the dryness. If you have ever spoken before an audience and your mouth started feeling like cotton and there was no moisture you know that it is very uncomfortable.

This discomfort was ten times worst and I had to keep speaking to an enemy that was attempting to rip my head off.

The factors for the number 212 are 2 x 2 x 53, in this case it is important to look at the largest number in the factoring group when studying Gematria.

The number 53 in GREEK is the word “LEGO” which means “Say”!

It also means; Increase, Jubilee, Army (In Hebrew and Greek). Army is important because we must become the army of the Lord who knows how to fill our mouths with HIS words and we will win!

Two years ago, on July 7, 2007, countless numbers of couples around the world exchanged marriage vows because they thought 07/07/07 would bring them luck. Casinos enjoyed an increase in business that day and convenience stores reported a boost in the sale of lottery tickets as people tried to capitalize on the luck they believed the day would bring.

On that same day, church leaders and youths from all over the nation converged on the Tennessee Titans’ stadium in Nashville to repent before God, worship and pray for the nation from morning until night. The Call Nashville was an uplifting and inspiring gathering centered on completion, which the number seven signifies.

The following year, on August 8, 2008, the People’s Republic of China made history when she opened her doors to the world for the opening ceremony of the Games of the XXIX Olympiads. For 16 days, the world watched as thousands of athletes from several hundred nations competed in various events for the coveted gold medal. Even though the number 8 is associated with prosperity and confidence in the Chinese culture, compared to the frenzy 07/07/07 aroused, 08/08/08 went virtually unnoticed by the world.

On the other hand, many in the Church had a sense that God wanted to do something unrelated to the Olympics on August 8, 2008. I was one of those people. On January 1, 2008, God instructed me to have a celebration on August 8, 2008. In the months that followed, I received specific directions about what was to take place. I also became keenly aware of what was not to occur; namely, I was not to promote ministry, sell products or conduct any other activity that would detract from the overall purpose of this gathering. I knew Jesus was to be the focal point of this event.

Jesus Only!

Leading up to the conference, I oftentimes found it difficult to explain what the event was or how it would benefit people’s lives. I only knew that God told me to have the meeting and to tell those who could hear to come and celebrate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We would do so for twelve hours, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, through our praise and worship, our exaltations and prayer.

The celebration was one of the most exciting events I have experienced. Believe me when I tell you there are not many moves of God that have taken place without me being a part of them. But this was different and it was evident from the very moment we stepped foot in the building. There were many who came to me and reported that they were so grateful we had the celebration and how they had to fight to be there.

The presence and power of God through Jesus was in the room with such peace and grace that it was difficult to move from one agenda item to the next. Jesus was the focal point and everything we did pointed to Him and how we are completed in Him.

The surprise for me was the reaction and response of the young people who have been walking the spiritual fence in God reaction and response. Many times as a pastors we want to reach our young people, but what they want is to experience the real and, we must be honest, our church services haven’t cut it for many of them.

I can tell you that a fire was ignited in the hearts of these young people that have has not gone out because Jesus touched them with His love and grace. It is my belief that the upcoming celebration will be greater than last year’s because there is no Olympics nor even a calendar date competing with the fact that 888 is a person and not just a date!

My life has changed forever since this celebration and many people who know me have seen it. The grace of revelation has continually been a blessing from the Lord in my life but since this meeting the heavens have opened. Father started preparing me for this change way before the celebration but however since I was so focused on getting things together it wasn’t apparent to me until after the celebration ended.

The Divine Math Book

Prior to the conference, I discovered Gematria (the substitution of numbers for letters in the Hebrew and Greek alphabets) and how the entire universe speaks to us through a numerical pattern designed by God. I believe a balanced study of the Bible using Gematria can change an unbeliever’s perspective about creation and the source of salvation as well as increase the faith of believers.

Since Hebrew and Greek, which are the original languages of the Old and New Testaments respectively, are both alphanumeric languages; that is, each letter also represents a numerical value; it is possible to conclude that the Bible is not just a literary book, but is also a divine mathematics book. (This is not something one would normally hear from the pulpit on a Sunday morning since most pastors and Christian leaders do not understand how Gematria works.). During the course of my studies, I learned that the number 888 is the numerical value for the name Jesus in Greek. Iesous, the name Jesus in Greek, is: I (10) + e (8] + s (200) + o (70) + u (400) + s (200), which equals 888. A detailed account of how Father gently led me to the place where I understood the meaning of 888 is in my new book “Knowing God by the Numbers”.

Some have questioned my motives for having this service on 08/08/08; perhaps I was over spiritualizing something that, for the most part, had little relevance. In fact, after the celebration, my spiritual father asked me if this conference was just because the date matched the Gematria number for His Name. I was able to clearly explain that the date did not have any bearing on my decision to hold this event. The date supported the revelation, but it was not the revelation. This celebration was all about Jesus and the greatness of His Name! For this reason, there will be another 888 celebration in 2009! In fact, we can have this celebration until the end of time because His Name is eternal. The calendar year may change, but His Name is forever.

I have also been asked if there will be other celebrations in recognition of September 9, 2009 (999) or October 10, 2010 (1010). Both of these numbers are awesome in Gematria and have significant meaning throughout the Bible. But, Father has not given me any instructions about these dates and, until He does, our celebrations will only be in observance of the number of His Name, 888.

After several months of prayer, fasting and preparation, on Friday, August 8, 2008, we celebrated 888: The Number of His Name Conference. Over 500 people came from across the United States to celebrate His Name. They did not come expecting to see a high profile personality. They came for Jesus! For 12 hours, we had the privilege of walking through the tabernacle, which speaks of Jesus, from the door to the Mercy seat. We spent 4 hours in the outer court, 4 hours in the holy place and 4 hours in the holy of holies. The last 4 hours were so powerful!

I know most of us attend church services, but how many of them focus on JESUS only the entire time? Unfortunately, not very many! Today, many Christians are comfortable discussing the problems in the world, but are unwilling to do anything about them. Others believe their primary purpose is to police the church while the vast majority of people today are destined to enter eternity without Christ. In these times, we cannot continue to do what has already been done when our times demand a change. We must seek the Lord until He comes and rains righteousness upon us.

Was This A God Generated Event?

One way to determine if God is involved in an undertaking is by the increased activity from the evil one, who always attempts to change or interfere with what God wants to accomplish. This became perfectly clear to me on the morning of the celebration when I received disturbing reports about the well being of several leaders in my congregation. One of my elders and his entire family was hospitalized after being hit by a drunk driver. The minister of music, who was following this family to the event, was also run off the road. Another elder and his wife had an accident while in transit. They were returning from a vacation and on their way to the conference site when the accident occurred. We started the celebration in warfare for these leaders. I am pleased to report that they are all fine and fully recovered. But it was very serious for a moment!

The Priesthood

As I prepared for the 888 celebration, an old reality became clearer to me. Through Christ Jesus, we have been made priests together with Him.

1Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (KJV)

Once people learned about last year’s celebration many of them contacted my office to inform me of revelation that they had received about the fact that the tabernacle approach to God was still important. Some have held the revelation for years and many haven’t been received by the church because it was thought of as an old revelation. What I received built upon the Old Testament revelation as the shadow of a greater reality!

The Bible instructs us that the order of the priesthood changed from Aaron to Melchisedec, but we are never told that the order of approaching Father God changed.

Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Hebrews 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Hebrews 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

It is for this reason that only priests are allowed to approach Father God on behalf of those who cannot approach Him for themselves. The priest in turn brings what they receive from God and gives it to those with whom He is not in relationship.

Christ is the Great High Priest after the order of Melchisedec and we have joined Him in this ministry to carry the lost to His throne. This is missed in most churches today due the great divide between the pulpit and the pew. But Christ Himself had to be made a priest so that He could approach the Father. Hear this again, ONLY PRIESTS CAN COME BEFORE THE FATHER!

It was that way with Aaron and the Levitical order and it’s true of the Melchisedec order which we were birthed into. Our desire should be to see our loved ones, friends, neighbors and even total strangers come to the saving grace provided through the cross. As Aaron had the twelve tribes on his breastplate, we should have at least twelve people in our hearts for which we pray regularly! The focus of the 888 celebration is completely on the Great High Priest Jesus and will only be through a people who fully understand that Jesus is Lord that the world of lost people can come to know our King!

The one question I receive from people once they hear this fact is why hasn’t anyone spoken of this before now? It is because we are conducting our church services from the basis that two things exist that God didn’t create.

Those two things are clergy and layman! It is understood that the clergy operate as the priests and the layman should sit back and receive whatever they present to them from the Lord. This doesn’t produce a people who want to completely surrender all to Jesus or who understand that He will work through them for the good of this generation.

During the Reformation, believers began to understand their rights as citizens of the Kingdom; namely, their right to approach God, to handle the sacraments and much more. However, a distinction between the pulpit and the pew continued to exist because of those two words introduced by Saint Clements; clergy and layman. Even though we cannot find either of the words in the Scriptures, they continue to rule the Church today. The biblical word that best represents the believer’s responsibility is Priest.

I believe the second reformation will occur when believers understand and begin to function in their priestly position. As a result, scores of believers will find their rightful place in kingdom service!

The starting place must be to honor and glorify the Great High Priest Jesus by adorning Him with our praise and worship! We have quoted for years the words of our Lord, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32 KJV)

We know He was giving insight to the type of death He would face. But I believe it also is the way we present Him to the generation. I was told last year, and it has proven itself true, that when we honor the name of the Jesus in this way Father would protect us from the famine of the land. It was true in the sense that our church is advancing during these uncertain times and many of the people are receiving promotions. Their coworkers are being laid off but many in our body are being increased. None of the things that are plaguing the society is being found in our body.

Why?

Because the 888 is full of abundance and awesome in protections! Come celebrate the name above every name and watch Him bless you to experience a spiritual Goshen where the plagues hit Egypt but completely miss you!

The Details

This year’s celebration will again focus on the tabernacle and how each piece of furniture speaks of Jesus. Also, we will gain a better understanding of how to function as a priest in this generation for Kingdom advancement.

Remember, this is not a conference, but rather a celebration of Jesus and all that He has done for us. Join me on August 7, 2009 to celebrate the 888 (Jesus) as we worship His greatness and pray for Him to come and change our world. This celebration will take place at Heritage International Ministries in Fort Mill, SC. You can find more information on my website at www.Betheloic.com or by calling 704-992-1033.

Since the celebration, we have started a priestly prayer line in which believers from all over the Eastern Time zone pray for the lost Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 5:30 AM. I invite you to join us by calling 712-775-7000; when prompted, enter the pass code 926987#.

Why should you come to this celebration?
Because we must demonstrate to this world system that nothing will cause us to bow our knee to anything but our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, the new beginnings (8), the super abundance (8), the salvation of our God (8)! Amen!

I am looking for those people who will stand in prayer one hour per day with me for the advancement of our national 888 conference, which takes place August 7, 2009.

The number 888 is the numerical value of the name Jesus in Greek.  This is a celebration of the only name by which men are saved.

Last year our calendar had the number 888, on August 8, 2008 and many people in the body of Christ understood that this was an important date.  There were services across the country and in many parts of the world.

But it is important to understand that this number is more than a date; it is a name!

I believe the Lord gave me the instructions to have a service on this day to bring greater attention to His name and the power in His name. We will follow the same the format of service, from 8 AM to 8 PM, with the focus on Jesus only.

I need the believers who will join me in prayer to pray for the presence and glory of our Lord to be in the meeting. Will you join me?  If the answer is yes, please post your comment and I will give you further instructions.

It is important to understand that this prayer focus is different from our 5 AM prayer time taking place Monday through Friday.  I need this group of people to pray 7 days per week, which will be a total of 84 hours if you begin on June 9, 2009.  I you do not start on Tuesday, June 9, please start as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help!

Following is an entry from one of my church leaders:

For our early morning Together in Prayer meetings we take a scripture that God gives and write out a prayer in our own words related to each verse. We then pray what we have written verse by verse on Thursday mornings. Yesterday we did Psalm 40 and Bishop Jackson asked me to share mine with you. May this inspire you in your own prayers.

1. Thank you Lord for having an ear towards my cry; for listening to your humble servant.

2. You have delivered me from a place that caused me distress and sorrow and set me on a firm foundation where I have joy unspeakable.

3. You’ve given me a brand new song; I now sing praises to You, God. Those around me will see how You have blessed me and will also trust in You.

4. Lord you say that I am blessed when I put my trust in you alone.

5. The things you have done cannot be numbered and all the plans you have for me are so numerous that no one can list them – it’s impossible because they are so vast. Hallelujah!

6. I am glad that you do not desire sacrifice; you don’t desire offerings from me. You have already prepared blessings for me and have called me to be your own.

7. I have come to you as you have written about me in your word.

8. I set my will to be your will; I have written your law on my heart.

9. I dare not keep silent about you God. I shout to all who will hear about you goodness and righteousness.

10. Thank you for giving me a voice to proclaim your love, your truth. I do not keep it to myself. I speak out about your faithfulness and salvation.

11. I ask you my God to be merciful to me, to not give me what I deserve, to protect me and love me. May your truth stay with me, keeping me safe.

12. I ask you this because you know all the trouble that surrounds me and the thoughts that consume me. I am bombarded with them all day long and it weakens me from doing your will.

13. Save me Lord, take the torment away, and quickly help me! I’m crying out to you!

14. Anyone who seeks to destroy me or anyone who desires bad for me, may it come upon them and may they turn away in shame.

15. Those that criticize me and judge me may they themselves be judged.

16. But Lord, those who seek you, may they exalt your name and be glad and rejoice. My they live in peace and comfort.

17. Even so Lord, I am humble before you and I need you. Only You can help me, please come quickly.

Amen

I had an encounter with the Lord while driving to pick up one of my five daughters on June 1, 2009.  While driving I looked into the sky and it appeared as if I could see farther than the human eye is capable of seeing.  It was for just a moment but it seemed much longer, the heavens opened and I understood that I wasn’t from the earth.

Don’t freak out, I clearly understand that I am human but there is a part of me that isn’t!  The spirit of man that has been born again comes directly from the Father and isn’t produced by human hands or ability.

John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 1:13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

In that brief moment faith was released into my heart in such a way that I knew Father God would grant my petitions.  So, I immediately started praying for the things I need and the people who need a touch from the Lord.

I saw things such as cancer dying and financial needs met!  My drive time was about 15 minutes and in that time things in and around my life were different.  But I hadn’t left my car, how did I know things had changed?  By faith!

It is important to understand that the currency of heaven is faith.  Just as the currency of the earth is money.  We receive from heaven through the same type of exchange system, except we use faith as our means of exchange.

Remember, without faith it is impossible to please God!

Hebrewsrews 11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrewsrews 11:2  For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Hebrews 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:4  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Hebrews 11:5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I think it is time to rededicate our heart to trusting the true and living God!  We have placed too much trust in the currency of the earth and its ability to provide for our lives.  But the just shall live by faith.

But we are living by money!

Could this be the reason the world financial system is in such trouble?

Because the people of God have joined their hearts to it instead of Him!

Please read and study the scriptures below. They may be just what you need to restart your faith engine. Amen!

Matthew 21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

Matthew 23:23  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Luke 18:5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Luke 18:6  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

Luke 18:7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
