Ps.35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

Since there is such abuse on this issue, I want to share with you my definition of biblical prosperity. 

BIBLICAL PROSPERITY IS THE ASSURANCE FROM GOD THAT I HAVE THAT I WILL BE GIVEN EVERYTHING I NEED TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSES FOR MY LIFE.

The word prosperity means to fulfill your divine destiny, to succeed in reaching your destiny. 

(Zep 3:17)  Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.

Literal Exegesis- The Lord your God in the midst of you is mighty, powerful, warrior, strong valiant man, a champion; He will save, liberate, deliver, preserve, defend, rescue, make free and open up, give victory; He will rejoice, to make bright, glad, cheerful, display joy over you with glee, exceedingly glad, exceeding pleasure and happiness, making merry; He will rest in His love, affection, He will rejoice, be glad, be joyful, spin around under the influence of violent emotion, over you with singing, shout for joy, release a proclamation of triumph. 

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that 11you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Jesus Himself is synonymous with the heart of prophecy. The ultimate purpose of prophecy should be TO Reveal WHO Jesus IS, what HE DOES, and HOW HE FEELS.

It is not enough to see the need. We must learn to feel that need (see Heb. 4:14-16; Ezek. 3:15). Then we can arise and meet that need! 

There are principles which will loose prophetic ministry in your life: 
1. You must desire or want to prophesy. 
2. You must stuff and fill yourself with the answer, the Word of God. 
3. You must stay in tune with the Holy Ghost. 
4. You must have compassion and love people. 

Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.-1 Corinthians 14:39 NASB, emphasis added.

We must each truly become God's word to the hurting world!

Gift of Prophecy

Gift of prophecy from the Holy Spirit 1 Cor. 12 This Holy Spirit gift is a "body-wide" functioning endowment.

Office of prophet given as "Christ's ascension gifts" (see Ephesians 4:7-12). One of the gifts from Holy Spirit is the gift of prophecy.  

Motivational gift prophecy-"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's (or woman's) gift is prophesying, let them use it in proportion to his (or her) faith" (Romans 12:6 NIV). 

Spirit of prophecy

Interestingly enough, of all the Holy Spirit's gifts (such as healing, tongues, miracles, etc.), this is the only gift God specifically says to "covet" or desire earnestly. That means it is very important, and God sincerely wants all His family to prophesy.

By obeying the "still, small voice of the Lord" we can allow the Holy Spirit's gift to effectively add to God's Kingdom a life for eternity-anytime, anywhere, for anybody! 

Don't sweat the mistakes, and just continue to get some good, accountable training in this exciting prophetic adventure-and by all means know that God wants us to desire earnestly the prophetic gift so we can increase His Kingdom-one person at a time-so that "all may prophesy!" 

Christ in Us the Hope of Glory

Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; no, not I, it is Christ living in me."  Did Paul say "I live in His resurrection life?" No,  he said - it is not I, but He living in me."  We are two, but no, we are one. "Not I, but Christ living in me."  And so it is!

The 'Church' can never grow up until  their TRUE IDENTITY (CHRIST-IN-THEM) becomes reality.The Revelation of CHRIST-IN-THEM  must come although in many aspects this is a progressive revelation. GOD must become our ALL and IN ALL, our SOURCE of EVERYTHING ~

Once AWAKENED to TRUE IDENTITY, we begin the EXPERIENCE  this reality.

(1Jn 2:27)  But the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him.

Therefore what God has JOINED together, let NO man put asunder.Do you draw a line between you and the Spirit of the Lord, God Himself? Or do you accept that you are indeed that same Spirit born of God, He in you and you in Him, One with Him, YOU as One?

 No longer I but Christ who lives in me.

What do you say?

Rom. 8:16-19  The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

(Rom 8:11)  But if the Spirit of the One who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up Christ from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you.

The more we discover the Mystery that has been HIDDEN from the ages...CHRIST 'IN' US...we learn to STAY WITHIN...abiding IN THE SPIRIT...the INNER BEING...and we begin to SEE...there is ONLY 'ONE' REALITY which exists...there is ONLY 'GOD'...only ONE thing...we discover that GOOD and EVIL is a product of the HUMAN/CARNAL MIND/THOUGHT! 

What’s Left for Jesus To Do?: Nothing

What’s Left for Jesus To Do?: Nothing

 I hear a lot of preachers and prophets make the statement God is about to do. Really, what is there left to do?

Jesus perfectly accomplished His work

Jesus left nothing undone or incomplete

Jesus left nothing unfinished or deficient

Jesus left nothing unaccomplished or lacking

His work was totally sufficient.

Since Jesus paid it all; nothing needs to be added to His finished work.

So the message at its core is about resting in what Jesus already did, and not laboring to receive or to somehow earn inheritance. It is done!

Finished work message = understanding who you are

The Finished Work Message states that we are the righteousness of God in Christ positionally– because of the finished work of the cross. Thus, if the white walls surrounding the Tabernacle of Moses represents God’s righteousness, and we have entered into that tabernacle by accepting Christ, the Father only sees the righteous walls of Jesus, not you. When God sees you, He sees His Son. Your only part was to enter in. Additionally, when you entered into the tabernacle, you abide in Him because the Person of Jesus is that tabernacle. At the root, this is who you are, and this is the basis for the Finished Work Message.The Bible is full of these types and pictures that even show the intricate detail of who we are in Him. We understand even better when we combine these pictures with truth such as: Eph 1:7-8: In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. NASU

In all, the Finished Work a is a message about overcoming. It is characterized by victory, defeating sin or that which so easily besets us in this life, and achieving God’s high calling–in this life. It does not put off all the promises of God to the next life.

I see the Finished Work Message dealing with the prophetic as well, describing what the last day church looks like. How will the bride make herself ready? What are the things that she is doing that demonstrate the finished work of Jesus to the world? And this message gives the needed guidance to train the bride how to make herself ready. This is the type of finished work message that aligns with the Temple Builders message.

What is the finished work message accomplishing? Its objective is to get us to see who we are in Christ to the point that we will start walking in that reality. We will truly walk by grace, not under law. We will cease to be sin conscious. We will stop a life preoccupied with christian works, which we thought would make us feel righteous. Then we flip it by saying that the revelation of knowing who we are in Him propels us to good deeds, obedience, and becoming a mature temple builder. We start understanding the desert life–the dealings of God that are painful, and learning their lessons.

The gospel is good news, and the good news is that the work of the cross is finished and there is nothing to add; there is not left for Jesus to do inside our spirit. However, Jesus is not done. He is dealing with our mind and our will, and consequently what we DO. He is actively working through His body to build the true temple of God. Jesus is the Temple Builder, and He is the Branch that is growing up in that temple. That part IS NOT FINISHED. Thus, the Finished Work is not really finished. We have a part. We are OVERCOMERS!

SEVEN PICTURES OF JESUS FROM THE BIBLE

HE IS REVEALED IN THE BIBLE:

1. In BETHLEHEM as the Lowly One.

(We see his humility demonstrated through his becoming a man and in his birth.)

2. In JERUSALEM as the Merciful One

(He extended mercy to those religion cast aside.)

3. In GETHSEMANE As the Suffering One.

(He submitted his will to suffering so we could know salvation.)

4. On THE CROSS As the Redeeming One. (He being perfect took our sins (past, present and future) and gave us His righteousness to bring us to God.)

5. In THE RESURRECTION As the Victorious One. (He overcame the last enemy – death and now brings us to victory through his life.)

6. In THE HEAVENS As the Glorified One.

7. In HIS BODY as the Revealed One. Revelation 1--22

He is waiting for all things to be summed up in Him including gathering us to Himself, setting up His physical eternal Kingdom. We will be fully restored to the original glory we were created for and enjoy living in His glory forever.
