What’s Love Got to Do with It???

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”[Romans 12:21]

Learn to ENJOY VICTORY over your enemies
. . . God can use them to develop you and thrust you into new areas of usefulness and productivity. Joseph, Daniel, and Mordecai are all prime examples of how God can use your enemies to advance you, and to bring both DELIVERANCE and ENLARGEMENT for you and others. Use your faith . . . utilize love and forgiveness . . . and leave the TIME up to God!

You don’t have to FEEL like loving them . . . just know that God wants you to love them, and then make a conscious decision to do it. Ask God to give you love, forgiveness, and WISDOM in dealing with them. SEE them as someone whom God:

1. Has put in your path for ministry;

2. Has placed before you to draw out His resources:

• His love,

• His provision,

• His gifts.

3. Has prepared to enable your spiritual growth.

4. Has chosen to use for your advancement and promotion.

Then, knowing the above, when you see the attacks coming . . . rejoice and praise God! Then take your authority over Satan, and bind him in Jesus’ name from carrying out his insidious attacks. Many times they will be working unwittingly with another person to attack you. Why? Because they hate you and they are jealous of the Christ that is in you.

If you are a married person, and the attack is coming from your Christian spouse, then learn to get alone and worship the Christ that is in them! Watch what happens!

Many times you may be lied about. The person telling the lies may be a psychopathic liar. If this is a case involving a spouse or close business associate, then . . . as my mother many times said, “You made your bed, so you’ll have to sleep in it!” In that case, you must deal with the strategies of Satan through the gift of discernment.

If a person is just telling lies about you because of jealousy, envy, hatred . . . or because the enemy is stirring them to attack you for some reason . . . then you can learn to see them as someone God has positioned for any of numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. Again, learn to ENJOY VICTORY over your enemies . . . God can turn the situation around and use them to develop you, while bringing you into new areas of usefulness and productivity! You can experience real miracles by doing this.

Actually, as a shepherd and warrior, you should begin to use these opportunities to put Satan to flight. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” [James 4:7]

What you want to do is learn to develop your spiritual “burglar alarm.” You need a spiritual security system! Ask God for the gift of discernment. This way you will know when the attacks are active and you can begin to enjoy taking opportunity of them in the Spirit. Pray in the Spirit . . . in tongues.

Warning: this will usually make the person or people more angry and jealous; however God will use this to bring extra conviction upon them to accomplish His purpose(s).

In some cases you will be dealing with a person who is temporarily mentally “off center.” They may have a lot of pressure upon them; they may have old hurts that somehow they associate with you; or they may be just oppressed by the enemy and he is using them as an instrument to attack you.

This is where you have to be really on guard! Just because a person is mentally incapacitated does NOT mean they’re stupid. Let me use an example by means of a story. A man was driving down the road and one of his tires became flat. It so happened that when he came to a stop where he could change the flat he was parked on top of a ridge next to a mental hospital.

While changing the tire, a patient of the mental hospital was watching him through the other side of the chain fence. The driver of the car was putting all the lug nuts from the wheel into the hub cap as he removed them. By accident, he stepped on the hub cap and all the lug nuts fell down the ridge . . . they were lost. He was in despair and didn’t know what to do!

The mental patient yelled across to him and said, “Why don’t you take one lug nut off each of the other three wheels and then use them on the tire you’re changing.” “That’s a wonderful idea,” said the driver. Then the driver said to the mental patient, “I thought you were crazy?!” “I am,” said the patient, “but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid!”

Many times, and at different intervals, God will call you to shepherd KEY enemies. David shepherded Goliath and later Saul. Moses shepherded Pharaoh. The secret here is to remember that a good shepherd is also a good warrior. He protects the flock and he also drives off the enemy.

You may be in a work situation at your place of employment where the things described above are happening to you. Learn to enjoy watching God work! Above all, do NOT EMBRACE THE SPIRIT(S) of the person/people trying to aggravate you. If you argue, or embrace the spirit working through them, then you will be in the flesh, and you have lost the battle. Don’t let YOUR spirit be aggravated!

“He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm (or, cool) spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.” [Proverbs 17:27-28]

I trust this will help you. God has given you everything you need for victory. Just rely on Him. Don’t worry about what you will do if a certain situation arrives. When you need it, the wisdom and power will be there!

SELF DELIVERANCE: HOW TO DELIVER YOURSELF


MUSIC / INTRO


Through the years I have known cases of MIRACLES of deliverance which happened as a result of self deliverance. These were cases where the person suffered repeated defeat . . . as a Christian . . . in such areas as repeated sinful practice, lack of productivity, self depredation, or a false sense of inferiority. These were cases of sincere Christians who lived for the Lord, loved Him and feared Him, and who WANTED and KNEW they needed help.

These were also cases where the person KNEW how to pray for the deliverance of others. One day, years ago, the Lord revealed to me how to share with people like this the principle of self deliverance. It was amazing. I trust this teaching will help you to help others achieve the COMPLETE FREEDOM the Master purchased with His BLOOD!

This is a short, but very effective and useful, teaching. If the content of this message is not for you at this time, then save / file or print it out to have on hand so that you may access it in the future for someone who needs it.

I have known cases where people have been “bogged down” in sin, poverty, or repeated defeat, and have been instantly delivered through using the information described in this teaching.

You probably have never read the information contained in this teaching. The reason: lack of knowledge in this area.

Other than the Lord Jesus Christ, WHAT PERSON can pray for someone with such compassion and determination – and intimate knowledge of the problem(s) involved – than one’s self?

Someone you know probably needs this message NOW. Think of someone you know who has had a repeated problem over a long period of time . . . or shorter, since having been born again . . . but has NOT received freedom from, or over, their problem.

The content of this teaching may be the answer for them; however, there are CONDITIONS that apply:

1. They must be a born again believer;

2. They must believe in The Deliverer, Jesus: in His POWER and WILLINGNESS to deliver them;

3. They must know how to deliver others (even if they never have); and,

4. They must really want deliverance.

MUSIC


There are several examples of the practice of, and the provisionary promise for, deliverance in the Holy Bible, in the lives of Jesus, Paul and the apostles, and Christians today. Many of you are familiar with these, but for those people that aren’t, I will describe some of them briefly here:

JESUS

“Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb [speechless]: and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both was then able to speak and see.” [Matthew 12:22]

In this case the combined conditions of being blind and dumb were probably the result of an evil spirit of affliction, as we know from this passage that the man had been possessed with a demon.

Even in a Christian’s life, although a demon is NOT possessing them – Christ is possessing them – their might be a case of a spirit of sickness afflicting them. Not in all cases, but in some cases! And the spirit can be dealt with successfully in the name of Jesus, thereby effecting their deliverance and resultant healing.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil: and the demoniac being departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.” [Matthew 17:18]

PAUL AND THE APOSTLES

“And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

The same followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.

And this she did many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.”
[Acts 16:16-18]

“And God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul: so that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out from them.” [Acts 19:11-12]

NOTE: An afflicting spirit may be sent for other reasons than those examples above. It may have an assignment from the enemy to cause fear, a false sense of inferiority, or a lack of believing for success. It may be some SEEMINGLY SMALL stronghold that has kept the Christian from excelling, succeeding, or being productive over the years . . . or entrapped in a practice.

MUSIC

CHRISTIANS TODAY


“And these signs shall follow THEM THAT BELIEVE, In My name shall they cast out demonic beings, they shall speak with new tongues . . .” [Mark 16:17]

There are basically three (3) REASONS a person might want to utilize self deliverance.

1. They really want deliverance.

2. Nothing else has worked for them.

3. They keep having the same struggles and/or practicing the same unclean practices even though they INTENTLY REPENT after each instance.

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN PREPARATION

1. Develop a REASON, a motive, for wanting deliverance. This is also something they can review, or reflect upon, from time to time to enforce the desire to remain free. Study “The Power of a Separated Life” by Apostle Handley. This may be obtained by going to the Archives in The Apostles Group and selecting this title dated February 14, 2004.

2. Know their deliverance is THE WILL of God and is part of Christ’s ministry.

Jesus sent out his apostles to:

Preach and teach;

Heal; and,

Cast out demons.

If a person knows Jesus Christ as their Lord, NO demon, NO evil spirit can have them! Jesus said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” The Greek word here used for “indeed” [ontos] means “really, actually.”

3. Study “How To Be Delivered” by Apostle Handley. This teaching may be obtained at www.realmiracles.com. Select “Help For You” on the BLUE navigation bars at the LEFT of any page. On the “Help For You” page select “How To Be Delivered.” Or, you may go directly to: http://www.realmiracles.com/mtde.htm.

This may also be accessed by login to The Apostles Group and going to the Archives. There you may select the newsletter titled “How To Be Delivered” dated July 21, 2002. (Or, type in the words “How To Be Delivered” in the “Search” box at the top of the Archives.)

Deliverance belongs to the born again believer! To “deliver” is to “set free.” Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” [John 8:32]

Some people are bound by demons (spirits) of infirmity, or sickness. Self deliverance may usually be effected in the same manner described below in the section “How To Minister Self Deliverance,” especially with the “laying on of hands” being visualized in self deliverance.

However, some cases are not resolved immediately because of “hindrances” to healing. These hindrances, as well as “gifts of healing” are covered fully in the unabridged book by Apostle Handley titled: Health and Healing (go to www.realmiracles.com and select “HEALTH” from the BLUE navigation bars on the LEFT of any page).

MUSIC

There are also demon spirits which bind people financially, and in other areas of life. Good News: the BLOOD of Christ is effective in these areas – as in all areas – of life. In 2 Peter 1:4 we read that God has given to us “exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

One other solution that I have seen successful in problems of uncleanness or immorality . . . the person has to really be serious and KNOW what they’re doing . . . is for the person to PROMISE God they will never take part in that practice, or habit, again.

“When thou make a vow to God, defer not [put off or postpone] to pay it; for He has no pleasure in fools: pay that which you have vowed.”
[Ecclesiastes 5:4]

HOW TO MINISTER SELF DELIVERANCE

1. See yourself in the midst of that problem.

2. See yourself laying hands on yourself, exorcizing the demon spirit(s) that oppress you.

3. See yourself delivered [free] from that problem.

SUGGESTION: You can also use the above to BLESS YOURSELF scripturally. That is, releasing the blessings of God in and upon yourself based upon scriptural truths and promises and with right motives: to build yourself up that you might serve the Lord more effectively, edify the Body of Christ, and reach the world for Christ! Also, to be a blessing to your loved ones.

This is NOT a “mind game;” nor is it new age meditation or visualization. You are actually and literally ministering deliverance and blessing to yourself . . . IN FAITH . . . and through the power of the Holy Spirit. However, instead of praying for someone else, you’re SEEING yourself in that place. It works! Real miracles result where Jesus the Messiah receives ALL the glory and His Kingdom is extended through holiness.

What I have shared with you in this teaching is POWERFUL. I trust you will have many testimonies to share in the future of people who were helped with this. Let us know by email to: princehandley@gmail.com.

Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.

Your friend,

THE JOSIAH MODEL:  A MODEL FOR END TIMES
KEY TO END-TIME EVANGELISM


The major tool for reaching the world for Messiah in these last days, the end times, is “two-pronged”: 1. Reaching the children; and, 2. Reaching Generation Y.

Reaching Generation Y is covered in The Apostles Newsletter titled “Trends, Times, and Tongues.”

In this teaching we will cover “Reaching the Children: The Josiah Model.”

Some time ago the Lord revealed to me that the major players in the end-time harvest will be BOTH the eight (8) year olds living today (this was the exact age of Josiah when he was anointed king over Judah) and the eight year olds living in the future.

“Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.”
[2 Chronicles 34:1]

Many eight-year-old children today are saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and know more about their authority in Christ than many people who have been saved for years. The Holy Spirit is NOT a respecter of persons . . . He will invade the earth and shake kingdoms through the faith, the boldness, and the prayers of an eight-year-old as well as through any [older] saint of God.

In my research of militant church history, I discovered that through centuries of awakenings and Spirit invasions God has been pleased at times to use children. You have NOT seen anything yet. Believe me! The Spirit of God is going to CONFOUND the governments, the armies, the halls of justice, and the religious leaders through holy anointings upon holy children: vessels manifesting God’s power in these last days! God will use children to manifest MIRACLES … real miracles!

In a passage of scripture dealing with the last days [Revelation 9:21], we are informed that people will not repent of their:

Murders,

Sorceries,

Sexual immorality, and

Thefts.

These four activities will be not only common, but also rampant, in the last days. Look at much of the culture media today: movies, TV, video, gangsta rap, hip hop, and even comedy. The point I am trying to make is that young people are inundated with models of an egregious lifestyle. This is a major factor as to why these activities will be prevalent in the last days.

The word for “sorceries” in this passage is the Greek word “pharmakeia.” The words pharmacy and pharmacist derive from the same root as pharmakeia, which generally describes the use of medicine, drugs, or spells. The word was also used as sorcery accompanied by drugs, incantations, charms, and magic: basically witchcraft in association with drugs or narcotics.

The best defense is a good offense. Therefore, by taking the Good News of Messiah Yeshua into the culture(s) we can impact society, especially when we portray the END RESULTS of the activities described above WITH the hope and deliverance that are available in Jesus Christ. Do NOT discount the use of comics and cartoons for such an strategy. If you will research the demographics of comics, animation, and Japanese manga you will see a huge readership among many cultures that extends into the business and professional world. We as Christians should be impacting culture with the message of the purpose of the cross of Christ (WHY Yeshua came to earth to pay for our sins) and the Good News!

Many of you reading this newsletter are involved in communications, the media, print publishing, or the graphic arts. Open up your vision . . . and then focus on the opportunities. Go to conventions like Comic-Con International and establish your target goals. The world is waiting!

We need NEW “Josiahs” TODAY!

The “Greatest Outreach” is to young people, especially those 15 years and younger. If you reach the segment of society age 15 and under, you reach:

• The mass of the population (50% of the population in third-world countries is age 15 and younger).

• The next generation (and the future leaders).

• Those who have a whole lifetime of service for the Lord!

Pray and ask God to show you WHAT he wants you to do, and HOW to involve yourself in “The Greatest Outreach.”

In another passage of scripture dealing with the last days, we see that God wants to reach the people groups of the world, the tribes, the language cultures, and the different ethnic groups with the Good News. What better way to reach these groups with permanence than by reaching the children. Even those who aren’t saved now will still have the Word of God in them which the Holy Spirit can use in the future.

There are many ways to reach children, but one of the easiest, least expensive, and most portable ways is by means of the “Wordless Book.” No expensive manufacture is necessary: all you need is five sheets or pieces of different colored paper: red, black, white, gold (yellow), and green. It can be used with an individual . . . or to great crowds.

Everyone can learn how to know God, from children to adults, by using the wordless books. They are economical (costing almost nothing), as they can be reproduced from “makeshift” at-hand materials. They are extremely effective for people who are illiterate and/or those with limited reading skills.

The wordless books are also excellent for children whether they can read or not; they love the graphic colors and remember them. And, they are easy to teach those you’re teaching to use the “Wordless Books” to go teach others!

One pastor in Africa with whom we partnered for more than 20 years, and who started more than 100 churches, told us: “All our Sunday schools have doubled using the “Wordless Books.”

[] [] [] [] []

How to Use the “Wordless Books.” (NOTE: The instructions below may be translated into any language to show people how to reach their own ethnic or people groups.)

There are NO written words to this presentation. It may be used in any language group of the world. It is effective in reaching adults, as well as children. All you need are five (5) different colors of paper; use whatever size you want depending upon the size of the crowd (so each person can see). You may use whatever colors you want; however, the following seem to work the best:

• Black

• Red

• White

• Gold (yellow)

• Green

Below are the instructions for using the colors. Print them out from your computer so you can teach others how to use them.

[] [] [] [] []


• Black is for SIN

• Red is for the BLOOD of Christ

• White is for PURITY

• Gold (yellow) is for HEAVEN

• Green is for GROWTH

[] [] [] [] []

BLACK – Describe how beautiful the garden of Eden was. Tell how wonderful creation was and how God blessed Adam and Eve with close fellowship with God. Tell how Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God. Explain that we are born in sin through the bloodline of Adam, the first man. Sin separates us from God and his power, love, and health.

RED – God had a plan. He sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to heal the separation between God and people. Just as one man (Adam) brought sin into the world, so one man (Jesus Christ) came into the world to put away sin. Jesus died on the cross to PAY for our sins. He took our punishment so we do not have to be separated from God. The RED blood of Christ washed our sins away.

WHITE – The blood of Christ, which was shed on the cross to pay for our sins … and the sins of the world … washes us clean: whiter than white! All we have to do is REPENT (turn away from our sins), BELIEVE (trust that Christ died in our place … for our sins), and RECEIVE (ask Jesus into our lives to be our leader and Lord).

GOLD (yellow) – The Holy Bible, which is God’s Word to man, tells us that in Heaven the streets are made of gold. Heaven is a wonderful place, full of love, beauty, and the glory of God. When we repent, believe, and receive Christ, God becomes our Father. When we die, we get to go to Heaven and live with Him and Jesus forever!

GREEN – We not only get to go to Heaven when we die, but we get to walk closely with our Father God every day here on earth while we live down here before we die. After Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins, God raised him from the dead. Jesus is alive and he will help you GROW up and be strong for God. Read the Holy Bible, pray, tell others about Jesus, and ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit every day!

NOTE: One time while teaching a seminar, a co-worker was teaching others how to use the wordless book. A group of young children had received Christ while listening to the instructions, and when our instructor was sharing on the “GREEN” color (the Spirit-filled life) almost all the children started speaking in another language!

[] [] [] [] []


Another way to reach children is through prayer. Have you ever heard someone say, “I wonder who was praying for me” . . . or, “Someone must have been praying for me!”?

Many people who are new Christians grew up in ungodly homes . . . some in witchcraft . . . and some in pagan religions. Yet they are now serving God. They don’t remember HOW, but at a certain point in their lives a Gospel witness came to them, and at a key time in their lives they developed a DESIRE to know the true and living God.

Someone was praying for them!

As the Lord leads you, select a child to PRAY for . . . one that you will commit before the Lord to pray for at least 10 years . . . and maybe for the rest of your life.

You do not have to tell them you are praying for them unless you want to. It may be a child you know or someone you don’t know! Maybe it’s a child you have heard about or read about in the newspaper . . . maybe a child or teenager in trouble.

Pray for them in addition to your prayers for your own family or children, and then ASK God for two (2) things:

To lay your children or family on someone else’s heart for prayer; and,

To give you a great harvest blessing in your children or family as a reward for your prayer-sowing in the life of the child(ren) you have adopted for prayer.

CONCLUSION:

By reaching the children under age 15 you will be reaching:

• The mass of the populace;

• The next generation and future leaders; and,

• Those who have a lifetime of service for the Lord.

The major players in the end-time harvest will be BOTH the children living today and the children living in the future.

Through centuries of awakenings and Spirit invasions, God has been pleased at times to use children.

By taking the gospel into the culture(s) you can impact society, especially children.

Also, anyone . . . anywhere . . . can reach children, and at the same time invoke a holy awakening in their community . . . and among the ethnic, tribal, language, and cultural groups of the world . . . through: 1) the “Wordless Book”; and / or 2) prayer.

THE ROLE OF APOSTOLIC MINISTRY TODAY

INTRO / MUSIC

There are several TYPES of evangelical churches today, but they can be classified usually into one or more of three (3) groups:

INTERPRETIVE – These churches believe that Jesus is Lord.

DEDUCTIVE – Based on inference of scripture, these churches are further divided into sub-groups. For example, those who believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, operation of the gifts of the Spirit . . . and those who do not.

CULTURAL - These churches appeal to the styles and movements of the current day and may be further divided into two (2) groups: traditional and seeker sensitive.

Apostle Handley’s book on Militant Church History (written in 1973) is right on track today and lists the seven (7) stages of church history: past and prophetic. Just a cursory review of recent decades, however, shows something as to the movement of the Holy Spirit (with some aberrations of men).

In the late 1960s and into the 1970s, we had the “hippy” movement.

In the 1980s we had the coming of age of the burgeoning “baby boomers.”

In the 1990s we had the “Me” (the selfish) generation, with examples such as “Seinfeld.”

Today, we are in the infant stages of the “rupture” of society … and at the same time, the infant stages of the apostolic church. By the “rupture” of society I am talking about the appearance of militant Islamic fundamentalism.

MUSIC

We hear lots of commentary by news media outlets saying that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. This is NOT correct. Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the world.

Demographics and surveys are drawn from largely the traditional and denominational churches. The statistics do NOT account for the fact that much of exploding church growth occurs in the non-traditonal, non-mainline, non-denominational churches: much in house churches and the underground church … SUCH AS IN CHINA!

However, there IS now a large growth of Islam. Why? Because people want to identify themselves with . . . to belong to or be part of . . . a culture.

It is TIME for a NEW CHURCH: one that is drawn by the Spirit to people and one to which people are drawn by the Spirit! The NEW church understands the current culture, the people and their styles. The following statistics are representative of this NEW church:

  • 43% of the people were born between 1927 and 1945
  • 37% of the people were born between 1946 and 1964
  • 16% of the people were born between 1965 and 1983
  • 4% of the people were born between 1984 and 2006

We must reach this youngest group! If you haven’t already studied about this, go to www.realmiracles.com and in the upper right of any page “Search” for “The Greatest Outreach.” Also, go to the Archives of The Apostles Group and search for: “Trends, Times, and Tongues.” [August 28, 2004]

The NEW APOSTOLIC church will reach people in their styles and cultures with anointed music. People will join a church when they SEE people EXCITED about their faith. Acts 15:15-18 tells us:

“This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written, ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tent (tabernacle) of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up, That the rest of men may seek after the Lord; All the Gentiles who are called by my name, Says the Lord, who does all these things. All his works are known to God from eternity.”

This scripture is referring to Amos 9:11 foretelling the rebuilding of the dynasty of David through Messiah who would come. However, it has a multiple fulfillment, also, in the building of the Kingdom of God (even before the 1,000 year Messianic Kingdom on earth) by the organic spiritual growth of the resurrected Messiah’s Body. The Messianic synagogues and churches today who operate in the apostolic and prophetic functions … and who abound with the high praises of God … are creating NEW birthings of the Spirit and forging alliances of ministry purposes: Individual birthings of the Spirit through repentance and believing the Good News … and corporate birthings of NEW synagogues and churches, whether they meet in offices, buildings, houses, the desert, or forests.

What was the Tabernacle of David like? It was NOT like Solomon’s Temple, with all its wealth and gold. The Tabernacle of David was a “make-shift” tent where the praises of God resounded. Even King David, when he was returning with the Ark of the Covenant was dancing and praising God publicly (and almost nude)!

MUSIC

The NEW APOSTOLIC church will have prophetic dancers: even incorporating new cultural themes in music.

The NEW APOSTOLIC church will have a NEW BREED who will want to join and participate in MIRACLES: people who want to be instruments through whom the Holy Spirit will flow to bring healing to sinful, bruised humanity. A brother in my area recently took a campus survey at one of California’s major universities. In that survey the students were asked the question: “What will it take to get you into church?” The majorityof the university students being surveyed answered: “We want to SEE God’s miracles and the supernatural.”

Have you ever noticed that the churches and people who say “wanting to see miracles” is wrong are the ones who are NOT experiencing MIRACLES? Jesus never blasted people for wanting to see or experience MIRACLES. He blasted them because they just wanted to take part in eating the bread that was multiplied.

Yeshua answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.” [John 6:26]

During 1950-1960 several great healing ministries were raised up by God. Many people were saved as a result. Then in the period from 1960 to 1970 there was great emphasis on pastoring to care for the thousands of new converts. Then, from 1980 to 1990 there was great emphasis on teaching. Around 1990 many new prophetic ministries were raised up, along with praise and worship. Now, we are in the INFANT STAGES of the NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH.

MUSIC

The PROPHETIC brings things to pass in the Spirit. It opens up new vistas and causes them to happen.

The APOSTOLIC takes the different forms of ministry and unites them into a harmonious unit.

The APOSTLE recognizes that the fivefold ministries are NOT ministries necessarily of accuracy, but rather of function to bring about a cohesive objective: the formation of the Tabernacle of David and the growth and dominion of the Kingdom of God. The apostle of the NEW CHURCH should probably have experience in all functions: not just the apostolic, but also as prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher.

It was not too long ago, before the fall of Communism, that Albania was known as the hardest Communist country. Just to mention the name “God” would result in a jail or prison sentence. There was a Muslim man who was about to die of radiation contact. A Christian brother told him about Jesus and His healing power, then laid hands on him and prayed for him. The man went to the hospital to be checked again and they found he was completely healed.

The doctor asked him, “How did this happen?” The man said, “A man told me about Jesus, and that He could heal me; the man laid his hands on me and prayed for me in Jesus’ name . . . and I am healed!” Then the doctor, in simple belief and scientific query, asked the man who had been healed: “Would that happen to the other people here in this hospital?” The man something like, “I think so.” So, the doctor asked him to go around and pray for the people in Jesus’ name and lay hands on them. The hospital was emptied.

About that time, there was a NEW BREED of young people who simply believed God and went to the hospitals praying for the sick in Jesus’ name. Hospitals were actually closed down because of the number of people who were healed.

The NEW BREED is waiting for you . . . and for the NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH!

Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.

PROPHECY AND A WORD FOR YOU

Do NOT be afraid of economic conditions … NOW or FUTURE, nor of employment availabiity.

If you are an employer or business owner, do NOT be afraid of financial instability … even chaos.

Financial chaos may come, but God is bigger and will make a way for YOU.

If you have been faithful in tithes and offerings unto the LORD, He is going to take care of you.

God can open doors, God can make doors, God can knock down doors.

God created heaven and earth in six literal 24 hour days. He could have done it i six nano-seconds.

He can CREATE situations just for you.

Many of you reading this message are going to see “out-of-the-ordinary” situations occur to provide you with income, some with release of debt, some with UNexpected resources to put you over.

There will be MIRACLES … real miracles … of sustenance and provision for you and your family.

Some of you will SEE and KNOW that the  EXTRA resources and money are the DIRECT results of angelic intervention implemented from Heaven’s administration. Be careful to give EXTRA to the LORD by sharing with those people or groups to whom the Holy Spirit directs you.

Above all, draw close to the Master. Listen and OBEY.

You are living in exciting times. Give Messiah Jesus the OPEN praise for what He does for you! Let people know.

Your friend,
Apostle Prince Handley
