Prophecy is God’s word that is spoken to our spirits, by the Holy Spirit. Prophecy must be “mixed with faith” to be effective (Hebrews 4:2). The Bible says that without faith we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). FAITH SCHOOL will teach you how to develop your faith to be more pleasing in the sight of God.

[Note: One does not have to be Christian to have faith. However, you must be a believer. A believer is one who hears the word of God, and believes that word they have heard, and operates in life as though it is true. There are some Christians who believe Jesus as Savior and nothing else. Therefore they receive none of the benefits (Psalm 103:1-5) of healing or prosperity that Jesus came to give them. On the other hand, there are Muslim people who believe Jesus is a Healer and receive tremendous results, and don’t get saved because they have difficulty believing Him to be God. In short, receiving from God is about faith in His word and not about the person’s eternal election to become saved.] {Prayer of Salvation}

“Now FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”*

Three (3) Prophecies About Faith

1. Faith Is A Magnet [property transferred by faith]

In a vision, something exploded upon the earth. It was some sort of devastation happening in the earth. Then I saw the strangest thing. Houses were going directly to specific people. What made these people different from others? These were those who had heard and believed the voice of God. These people did not have to go find houses. The houses came directly to them. They came straight to those who had believed God, and whom called forth the houses. In fact, the houses, obeyed the words of those who called them forth.

If that was not strange enough, the world seemed to be acting like a gigantic magnet that brought together the promise with those who had faith enough to believe what God had told them. A closer look proved that it was not the earth acting alone, but the earth was under the magnetism of faith. Without faith, the earth would have never moved, but what I saw was greater than what the earth could have ever done on its own.

There were many homes released; shaken loose in the explosion that had occurred. It was as if these homes were being released from bondage. The destination of these homes was quite evident. They went only to those who believed God. It was a shaking a loosening . . . a shake down of property and wealth, but it was only flowing to the household of faith. It was a great wealth transfer to the Body of Christ.

About two weeks after seeing this vision, The Lord said to me, “Call them
forth.”
I began calling forth every piece of property He had promised to
give me. I called them by address. I called them by city location. I called
even those He said were waiting for me in other countries. At the writing
of this article, it has been one month, and the Lord is saying that it
is time to move. I have believed the Lord and by faith I obeyed the seed
of the word. This is a magnificent testimony in the works!

2. Faith Like A Mighty River [doing the impossible with faith]

In a vision, the Lord showed a powerful river flowing out of a tsunami on the ocean. The waves were crashing against what seemed to be a great fortified wall that surrounded a circular path. I was not sure what this structure was. Then I saw intermittent openings in this vast wall. The mighty river forced its way into the openings of the great wall.

The Lord explained that the tsunami was the Kingdom of God operating in the earth. The great wall, was the way of the world that is hardened and fortified against the Kingdom of God intrusion. The intermittent openings in the wall, were the hearts of mankind around the world that were open to receiving from the Kingdom of God. As the vision showed, there were very few intermittent openings to what God wanted, but those who could see and hear, did magnificent exploits in the earth.

Who were these obedient ones with eyes to see and ears to hear? They were those who saw what others never saw. They heard what others could never hear. Therefore they obtained what others could have never obtained in this world (I Corinthians 2:9).

This vision honed my faith to look for the secret things of God’s Kingdom; to look beyond the visible and see the invisible; to look beyond impossibilities to find God’s possibilities.

3. Faith GIANTS In The Land [growing in stature with faith]

In the spirit, I saw the entire world with all it’s billions of people. All of a sudden, a people arose among the people. They kept arising until they looked like giants among men. This was a group of men, women and children of extraordinary stature. They had more money, more wisdom and more power than this world had ever seen. Then I heard the Lord say, “I cannot be stopped. This is my will and I shall bring it to pass.”

I also heard the Lord say of these new leaders, the same that He said to Solomon, “I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days (I Kings 3:12-13).”

When will they appear? “Now,” says God. “My sons
are arising in the earth now!”
This indeed is a NEW BREED OF LEADERSHIP; bolder and brighter than others who came before them. These are the Children of Light, destined to destroy the darkness of this world!

During this vision, my faith grew as I saw myself grow into a giant in the
earth. Friends were looking me in the face. As I grew to my Kingdom
stature, they had to stretch their necks back as they continue to look
up at my face. I had grown to new heights in the land. This is God’s
vision for all His children.

NOW, For the LESSONS in FAITH.

These lessons are also available in the mini book entitled Faith School [Read now]

Lesson 1: You’ve Got To Hear Something To Believe God For Something

LESSON: The First Step in getting a miracle from God, is that YOU MUST HEAR SOMETHING FROM HIM.
• The Bible says that Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God (Roman 10:17).

Example: A few days ago I took Mom to the market. She went into the store, but I had an urge just to sit in the car and be quiet for a few moments. Then I heard the Lord say to me, “Didn’t I tell you that COVID was dead?” Where did that come from? I wasn’t thinking about the virus. I wasn’t thinking about anything at all. I just got quiet and God started the conversation.

So I responded, “Yes, Lord, you told me months ago that COVID was dead.” I believed it when you told me back then. So, why was God bringing this up to me again? Did I not stand in faith like I should? Has something changed? Then God said, “Before the year ends COVID will be removed from the face of the earth.”

I quickly responded, ‘Why wait til the end of the year?” Before I could say another word the Lord said, “This month.” He challenged my faith. I took the challenge.

Ever since that day, I have been confessing. “Lord, I believe that COVID is dead like You said. I also believe that You will remove COVID from the face of the earth, by the end of the year, even this month.” These words have activated my faith. It’s out there. Can God make it happen? Absolutely!  Vaccine or not, I believe God. I cannot listen to the news reports. I cannot listen to the so-called experts. I HAVE HEARD FROM GOD DIRECTLY! There is no turning back for me. I believe God can do the impossible and now my faith is on the line.

Question: Why did God tell me about COVID in the first place?

Answer: He wanted to express His Will concerning the virus.
For God to do anything on earth, He needs a person who is eager to hear and eager to obey what they hear.

•   The Bible says that "If we can ask anything according to God's will, that He hears us. And if we know that God hears us, then we know that we have the petition that we desire of him (I John 5:14-16)."

Here is the thing. God didn’t send that virus and He desires that it be removed. But God cannot do it alone. He gave human beings dominion over what happens in this earth (Genesis 1:28). God needs us to be in agreement with Him for His will to be done on earth.

•   Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Matthew 18:18-20)."

In other words, whatever we allow on earth, God will allow. Whatever we don’t allow on earth, God will not allow. So, if COVID is dead, but it is still affecting people, it’s because God’s people have not been in agreement with God concerning this virus.

Homework:
• Spent time alone with God. Ask Him about His will for your life, your family, your job, your finances, even about your health.
“If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him (James 1:5 AMPC).”
• Follow any and all instructions that He gives you. Then wait for your miracle to manifest.
“Whatever He says to you, do it. (John 2:5 AMPC).”
 
Bonus:
I am agreeing with God about COVID. I know that Jesus and the Holy Spirit, all three agree. Anyone else want to join in faith that God removes this virus?

Lesson 2: What You Say Is What You Get!

LESSON:  The Most Creative Instrument On Earth Is The Human Mouth
Did you ever wonder why God gave us mouths in the first place? It certainly was not meant to be used to lie, deceive and create all kinds of confusion and wickedness we see in our world today. No! However, the Bible says, “And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man’s nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna).” James 3:6 AMPC  

The untamed tongue can destroy the world around us, but that is not why God gave us a mouth. 
• God gave us a mouth To Create a better world than what we see with our eyes. God saw darkness, but called forth light. He saw a barren earth and called forth the animals, the fish and the birds. With the words of His mouth, God created everything we see in creation, and it was “VERY GOOD.” Genesis 1:31
• Then, God created mankind To Continue Creating Good in the earth. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion.” Genesis 1:26

THE BIBLE tells us to be “imitators of God” like obedient children (Ephesians 5:1). In other words, God gave us a mouth to SPEAK LIKE HE SPEAKS, in order to CREATE WHAT HE DESIRES in this earth. We take dominion over the evil of the world, by speaking God’s words.
“And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou [art] my people.” Isaiah 51:16
“Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:9-10)


Example:

[Recall the example in Faith School Lesson 1] God gave me words calling COVID “Dead.” These are the results God desires for the earth. The news media and health professionals are not speaking God’s words. They only see the darkness, but God’s word is Light (revelation) that will manifest, if GOD’s People begin speaking what He says and not what the world is saying. Light cannot come if all we speak is darkness. We don’t ignore the darkness. We simply give it no place in our thoughts. We speak what God speaks, to get what God desires, and right now God desires that “Before the year ends COVID will be removed from the face of the earth.” 

Now, God will not force us to speak His words. He gives us a choice of what to create with our mouths
“Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” (Proverbs 18:21)  
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19) 
No matter what we choose to speak, Jesus makes us a promise.
“YOU shall have whatsoever YOU say!” Mark 11:23

Homework:

Consider the words that you speak. If you don’t like what you have in your world, then find some better words to create a better world. The Bible is filled with many wonderful words of life.  Let the Holy Spirit speak God’s words to your heart. God’s words are “Very good (Genesis 1:31).” God’s words are designed to do us “good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11).” These are words that God is eager to perform.  “Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:12)   

Bonus: 

Speak God’s words and watch as the angels bring it to pass! “Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His word.” Psalm 103:20 AMPC   

SPEAK THE WORD ONLY! (Matthew 8:8)

Lesson 3: Being In Faith Is Like Being Pregnant. You Don’t Wait To See It In Order To Believe It!

LESSON: Faith Means Taking “The Seed” of God’s Word And Holding On To It Until Manifestation
The Bible says (Hebrews 11:1), “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I like the Amplified Version that reads, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for,  . . .”  It’s all the proof we need from God. It is the assurance that those things are coming to us.
1 Faith is “the Title Deed” from Heaven of what God says belongs to us. Most of us understand what it means to hold the title deed for a home or a car. Someone may have stolen it from us, but it still belongs to us.
2 Faith requires that we stand before the Courts of Heaven with the title deed, demanding what is rightfully ours. We hold our promise in our hearts, meditating on it day and night (Joshua 1:8) until it comes to pass.
Years ago, God compared Faith to being pregnant. When the doctor tells a woman she is pregnant, we call her “an expectant mother.” The seed was planted and has begun to grow inside of her. The expected outcome is a healthy baby.

Notice how “an expectant mother (and father)” operates. The woman will begin to change her eating habits to something healthier for the baby she is carrying. She and the father will even begin changing lifestyle and personal habits like stop smoking or drinking excessively. They won’t wait until the baby arrives to buy diapers and other baby things. They won’t wait for the baby to be born before making room in their home for the new arrival. Even if they don’t have money to buy things, they will at least start thinking about what it means to have a “newborn” in their lives. They will begin to plan, arrange, and rearrange things to accommodate what they are expecting.

Why do they do these things? Because THEY ARE EXPECTING!!!

Example(s):

Here are two (2) examples from the Bible demonstrating what it means to EXPECT From God
In both of these examples, God promised to do something impossible. Those who heard, didn’t just hear it, they kept in their hearts, questioned what they heard and kept it in their hearts, eagerly looking for the answer to come forth from Heaven.

 "After the birth of John the Baptist, when they went to circumcise him, they called the baby Zacharias after his father's name. His mother Elizabeth said, "No. His name is John. They responded, "There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. Then they made hand signs to his father who wrote on a tablet, "His name is John. and they marvelled all."

Why did they marvel? Zacharias’ mouth was shut up by the angel Gabriel who first told he and Elizabeth that they would have a child. They were both old and she was barren (Luke 1:5-22). The man did not believe what the angel said and God made him dumb until the birth of John the Baptist. “And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.”
Did you know that God will shut some mouths that have spoken against your promise from God? We’re going to see that and more in these last days before Jesus returns.

So, now that John is born, and his father announces that his name is John, Zacharias mouth is opened and he begins to praise God. Imagine being an onlooker to what has happened. You remember how it was in the temple that the man’s mouth was shut up for nine months. Then it was once again in the same temple his mouth was opened at his son’s circumcision.

Of course the people marveled. The Bible says that “And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be . . . (Luke 1:65-66).”

Then, after the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary, an angel appeared to shepherds, telling them to go to Bethlehem; that the Savior had been born, which was Christ the Lord. They were to go and find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloth laying in a manger (Luke 2:8-15). And the shepherds went. When they found Mary, Joseph and the babe, they told them all that they had seen and what the angel told them. Now get this part. The Bible said that "All that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds."

Now notice how Mary reacted. “But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart (Luke 2:19).”

Both Mary and Elizabeth held on to their promises and saw them come to pass. They did not abort their seed. Oh yeah, did you know that there are far more “abortionists” in the Body of Christ than there are in the world? The Lord shared this with me some years ago. Christians are always fighting against abortion, which is fine, but what concerns God more are those in His Body that “take the seed of His word and abort it” and turn to what the world is offering instead. God called this “spiritual abortion.” Don’t let this be said of you. See God’s promise to its completion and cause the world around you to marvel.

HOME WORK:
1 What’s in your heart?
2 What are you expecting from God?
3 Are you preparing for that thing that you are expecting?
4 If you don’t have any expectation from God, then find one
◦ What do you want from God?
◦ What do you want for someone else?
◦ If it’s in God’s will (the Bible) then put it before God in prayer and claim it
◦ Let the Holy Spirit direct your thoughts, He will guide you to the appropriate scriptures
◦ The Holy Spirit knows what God has in store for your life. Just ask Him.
◦ Once you have that promise, plan for it and hold on to it until it manifests

Lesson 4: How Much Money Would You Need, To Supply One Bottle Of Water To Everyone In Your City?

LESSON: How Much Money Would You Need, To Supply One Bottle Of Water To Everyone In Your City?

Many of God’s people are looking for the “great wealth transfer” to occur, but how many truly understand the purpose of this transfer?

This lesson is designed to calibrate your mind in understanding why God wants His people to have wealth. It’s not about the money. It’s about supplying the needs of the poor. “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God (Ecclesiastes 2:26).”

Example 1:
Consider the population of any city (community): Assuming that the price of a bottle of water at Dollar General (online price) is $2.95 for a 24ct bottle of water. This is an average of $.12 per bottle.

City2019
Population (Est)
Cost To Supply 1 Bottle
New York City[8,336,817]$ 1,000,418
South Bend[102,026]$ 12,243
Indianapolis[876,384]$ 105,166
Columbus[898,553]$ 107,826
Charlotte[885,708]$ 106,285
Mesa[518,012]$ 62,161
Atlanta[506,811]$ 60,817
Kansas City[495,327]$ 59,439
Minneapolis[429,606]$ 51,553
Cleveland[381,009]$ 45,721
Gary[74,879]$ 8,986

These numbers estimate how much money you would need
to supply 1 bottle of water to every person in specific cities.

Source: Wikipedia List of United States cities by population

Example 2:

Now, consider that Homeland Security recommends, “at least one gallon of water per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation.” More is needed for medical emergencies, nursing mothers and sick people.

How many bottles would yield a gallon of water?
128 oz in one gallon. There are 16.9 oz in a bottle. Do the Math. 
It would take 7.57 bottles of water per person for an average daily emergency. It is suggested to have one gallon per person per day.

Estimate a 14 day emergency:
7.57 bottles of water per person for 14 days.  Do the Math
That would require 106 bottles of water per person in any given city.

So, How much money would you need to supply water for a 14 day emergency to everyone in the above communities?


(Hint: Take the estimated cost in the previous section and multiply them 106 times.)

These numbers estimate how much money you would need
to supply 1 gallon of water per day to every person in specific cities,
for a 14 day emergency.

It’s not cheap to live in America. Here is estimated cost of living in our country. It’s even more costly to have to take care of the poor in a national emergency. These are the end times in which there will be an increase in emergency situations around the nation and the world.

God said, “We are about to see the fall of one kingdom in America, and the rise of another.” God’s Kingdom is Advancing in the Land!

God has called His people to do more than supply water. He wants us to supply water, food, clothing and shelter. Do the Math. Others of us have been called to create businesses to sustain jobs for God’s people. Still others have been called to create banks and other institutions based upon Biblical standards apart from the corruption of the institutions of the world.

We are the “Noahs,”  “Josephs,”  and “Joshuas” of our generation. We have mandate to “build the arks,”  “store the grain”  and “possess the land,”not for ourselves alone, but for God’s people in these last days.

This is why God wants His people to be wealthy. It’s not about us. It’s about the people! Don’t mock those in the Kingdom who come into millions, or billions of dollars.They will need that and much, much more to do the will of God on the earth before Jesus returns!

HOME WORK:
1 What dream has God given you? What are you to create or build for His Kingdom?
2 If you don’t know yet, then Seek God for the plan?
3 Write the Vision (Habakkuk 2:3). Make it plain with details (Do the Math).
4 Don’t delay. Things are moving rapidly in the Kingdom

“He who by charging excessive interest and who by unjust efforts to get gain increases his material possession Gathers it for him [to spend] who is kind and generous to the poor.” Proverbs 28:8 AMPC

Lesson 5: God Wants To Do “Creative Miracles” In, And Through Your Life!

In the Kingdom of God there are “Creative Miracles.” This is something that God wants to do for all of His people. But, you must have faith in order to receive such miracles.

LESSON: WHAT IS A “CREATIVE MIRACLE?”
A “Creative Miracle,” something the world would say is impossible. It’s something that defies nature, time and/or natural elements. These are “extreme” miracles in which God does the impossible in plain sight of men.

Examples:

Just this week, I have heard testimonies of God removing cancers. One person, blind since birth, was seeing for the first time in his adult life. Jesus did these kinds of miracles and they are happening even as I speak.Yet, creative miracles are even more unusual. For example, limbs growing where they had been amputated. Organs being replaced where they had been surgically removed.

There was testimony of a woman who was scheduled for heart surgery. Before her operation, she was invited to a prayer meeting in Florida. They lay hands on her and she said “peace” came over her. When she went to pre-op, the x-rays showed a new valve had been placed in her heart. God did that. That woman needed a new heart valve.

Years ago, ministry friend needed money, and it began appearing in a coin jar in her home. Prior to that creative miracle, God made food appear in her cabinets. This was a person who had no money to shop and yet when she took care of God’s Kingdom business, He took care of her.

I recall on more than one occasion when God multiplied food in my hands. A dinner for seven was multiplied and feed several dozen with everyone having a plate to take home. The night before the crowd showed up the Lord appeared to me while I slept, telling me to “Bless the food.” I Blessed the food that night, went to church the next morning and when I returned I was informed that the many people had been eating from what I brought all day long, and there still was a couple of plates full left for me.

What do you want? Maybe it’s not about food, nor health or healing. It could be about money or a business venture. It could be about wanting a family member delivered and set free. Think of the hardest, most impossible thing in your life. What do you want to see happen? Make your request known to God in prayer.

Bible Reference:
Blind Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus as He passed by. People wanted him to shut up and crying out to Jesus, but Jesus heard the blind man’s faith. He asked them to bring the man to Him. Jesus asked the blind man, “What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight (Luke 18:35-43).” The Bible tells us to ask the Lord for what we want. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7).” Even this day, the Lord is asking, “What do you want?”

Possess The Greater, It’s Your Portion:

Let God do the impossible for you. WHY? God wants the world to know about His Son Jesus Christ. He wants them to know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He needs your witness in the earth.

ALSO, what God does for us, He wants us to do for others. As Jesus said, Freely you have received, you freely give to others (Matthew 10:8). Christ is in you (Colossians 1:27), for the purpose of doing what Jesus did in the earth.

Jesus said, that if we believe in Him (John 14:12), the works He performed, and “Greater Works” would we do; not only in ministry, but in the lives of our families, friends and communities as well.

Example:

I recently heard of a woman who got healed from cancer, and when she heard that someone close to her had also been diagnosed, she gave her testimony and lay hands on that person and they were also healed. Got it? We don’t just receive. We receive to give to others. We are BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING.

“Creative Miracles” are examples of the “greater works.”  It’s when God restores something that was stolen by the devil. It’s gone, dead to the world, even lost, yet Jesus is saying to us today (I Samuel 30:8), “Pursue, overtake and without fail recover all!”

How do you pursue? Remember the woman with the issue of blood. The doctors did everything and could not help her. Instead, she lost all her money trying to find a cure. Then she heard about Jesus, and came after Him, pressing through the crowd to touch the hem of His garment (Mark 5:27). Something this woman heard caused her to pursue Jesus, overtaking the crowd and without fail recovering her health and her wealth.

What have you heard about Jesus that would move you to pursue after Him? No matter what the doctor is saying. No matter what the bank, or your wallet is saying to you. No matter what the media or politicians are saying, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE GOD FOR? What have you heard from Him or His word? What is the Holy Spirit speaking to you right now?

You Must Hear Something From God to Receive Something from God [Remember Faith School Lesson 1]. Get in prayer and ask God what He wants to do in your life, in your business, your marriage, your family or career. Then ask for instructions on how to prepare for that thing. Then whatever He says to do, do it (John 2:5)!

Go in Faith. Dare to take all limits off. Go for the impossible and watch God work wonders!

Lesson 6: What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do [hint: ASK GOD]

LESSON: Ask God EVERYTHING!

In these end times, there will be many uncertainties before us. Everything in our world has changed. What worked before, will not work today. Everything has changed, yet God and His purpose for our lives, has not changed. “Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, to day and for ever (Hebrews 13:8).”

Therefore,

  • Ask God about everything.

The Bible says,“If any of you lack wisdom, let him [or her] ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5-6).” It doesn’t matter who you are. It does not matter what you desire to know.

  • Ask in faith, not wavering.

“For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways (James 1:6-8).”

  • Trust God Only.

Don’t lean to your own understanding when it comes to situations of this life. Don’t be wise in your own eyes (Proverbs 3:5-8). Fear God. “It shall be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones.” We don’t fear men or the circumstances that are happening in the earth. No matter what comes our way, God has the answer. All we need to do is ask in prayer.

  • Ask God, Seek His Way, Knock Until It’s Opened.

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matthew 7:7-8).” We ask in prayer, casting all our cares upon Him because He cares for us (I Peter 5:7). We keep seeking God’s way of doing things. We keep praising Him for giving us the answer and bringing it to pass.

Example:
It was never my idea to become a writer. In fact, God didn’t call me to write. Initially, He called me to “teach” His people. First and foremost, God called me to “heal” His end time leaders and “teach them” what they needed to know to fulfill their assignments in these last days. It was only after I stepped into my assignment with the Church, did God command me to write. I never initiate a book, God does. He comes to me and tells me the name of the book. Most times, He shows me the cover and the title, then says to me, “Write the book.” Never have I known what to write at the command, unless the Lord downloads the subject to me. Even after the downloads, they are not often in order that they will appear in the book. Why? God is the one who arranges things. I am the writer, but Almighty God is the Author. As the Bible says, “Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).” He is indeed the author and finisher of my faith in writing a book. Again, it’s not my faith alone. It’s God’s Faith operating along with my faith that gets the assignment done. I am “a co-laborer” with the Lord. That is why I must Ask, Seek, and Knock. It is a partnership.

Bible Reference:
The Bible says that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32). If you are a believer, He has already given you the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).  Your prayer and obedience to the Spirit of God, causes the Kingdom within to manifest on the outside of you. Jesus said that when He spoke what God spoke, it was the Father within Him that did the work (John 14:10). I have found that the books God gives me, are already within me. When the Holy Spirit speaks to me about another book, it is like the book manifests from the inside of my spirit. They are already in there.

Example:
When I received my very first book, it was on a visit to Heaven. The Father taught me many things and they were deposited within my spirit. As I began to write what I had learned, the Holy Spirit would stop me in each and every sentence, revealing how another book would come forth on a related subject, the another book on yet another subject, and so on. There were so many books flooding out of my spirit, while I was trying to write the very first book. This was the Kingdom from within, manifesting on the outside, and it was a bit overwhelming. Yet, when I took them one by one, received them in prayer, they manifested in their appropriate time and season. I had to Ask, Seek and Knock, and God responded miraculously. For me to write has truly been a miracle, because my life has been turbulent. The enemy hates it when I write. He retaliates by attacking everything around me in order to keep me from writing. The anointing on my life stirs up the devil every time. I have yet to write a book in a peaceful atmosphere. Then once the books are released, the death threats come in the realm of the spirit. Persecution is nonstop, but I don’t stop obeying God. I just partner with Him in every step in prayer and in obedience.

HOMEWORK:

  • Whether you know what to do or not, ask God His input on each and every decision you make. Consult Him even in the simple things. As the Bible says, commit your ways to Him, and let Him establish your path (Proverbs 16:3).
  • Write down whatever He reveals to you. “Write the vision and make it plain (Habakkuk 2:2).”
  • Then meditate on what the Lord gave to you. Find scripture verses that support your vision. Meditate on all of these things day and night, so that you are prepared to carry them out. “Then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).”

Lesson 7: Faith Comes By Hearing, So Be Careful What You Hear

LESSON: Be Careful Of What You’re Listening To

The Bible says that “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).” Hearing is very important. These are seeds that will become the basis for our faith. In the this particular passage, Apostle Paul is talking about hearing the good news of the gospel. In order for people to call upon the name of the Lord, they have to faith in Him. In order to have faith, the word must be preached. They have to hear something. [Recall Lesson 1: You’ve Got To Hear Something To Believe God For Something].

How can they hear unless someone preaches (or teaches) them? How can someone preach, if God does not send them? In other words, God sends a teacher (preacher or prophet) with a specific word about the Kingdom. The people hear. They develop faith in what they have heard and they call upon the Lord to receive from Him (Romans 10:16).

Think about it. The gospel has been preached throughout America, but how many have actually received? There are many believers who got saved, but not many have gone through the same process to received their healing, or to receive the prosperity God reserved for them. Why is this? According to God, “they had faith in yet another word.” Jesus said, “Take heed what you hear (Mark 4:24).” Truth is readily available, but you can hear it and be persuaded to turn away from it by another voice that is speaking, if you are not careful.

Bible reference:
This is the same thing that happened to Adam and Eve in the garden. They heard the command of God, but the serpent came to the woman saying, “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? . . . Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:1-5).” Adam and Eve took the word of the serpent over what the Lord has commanded them. Consequently, they were cast out of garden, out of the Blessing and thrust into the curse.

Example:
Let’s return to our example of Lesson 1, the COVID “pandemic.” The Lord keeps bringing this back to me. It’s the perfect example of how people, even Christians have developed faith for “sickness and death.” How did this happen? Look at the media campaign. In every newscast for more than a year, people were bombarded with how many people got sick and how many died. No one was talking about how many recovered. Why not? The powers at be didn’t want people to know. If people heard the truth about the numbers, they would have never feared. The devil rules by fear. On the other hand, Jesus is the Healer. For a believer to fear a virus is a mockery of the Blood of Jesus. For any believer having more faith in a vaccine than in God is also a mockery of the covenant we have with our Lord.

Example:
Let’s observe the political climate in America. In particular, the partisan and racial issues that are in the forefront. There is division every where. Division is of the evil one. It’s a work of the flesh. “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleaness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations [jealousies], wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21).” One cannot fight against another and expect to receive anything from God. Take a close look at how these divisions are propagated. Most of the evil speech is being spewed over the airwaves, during newscasts and political commentaries. Sure the devil is pulling strings, but people in this nation seem to be addicted to evil words, thinking that it’s freedom of speech. The Bible says “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners (I Corinthians 15:32).” The Lord says that “America is under a strong delusion,” because they didn’t receive the love of the truth (II Thessalonians 2:10-11). People only receive the love of the truth after they are fed up with lies and deception, and the destruction it brings. Even so, Jesus said if we would continue in His word, then we would know the truth and the truth would make us free (John 8:32).

  • HOMEWORK:
  • If you are one who operated in fear concerning COVID. Repent. There’s no condemnation. Turn back to God with your whole heart.
  • Turn Off The News. Meditate in Truth. God’s word is truth (John 17:17). Take it like medicine, three times a day. More if needed. The Bible says, “My son [daughter] attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health [medicine] to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-21).”
  • Let God instruct you by His Spirit. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).” What the Lord reveals by His Spirit is yours forever (Deuteronomy 29:29). It’s the best way to grow your faith and enlarge your spirit to receive even more of Heaven’s treasures. “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance (Matthew 13:12).”
