DESCRIPTION
Stop worrying about the giants in front of you: the forces, voices and beings that threaten you and keep you from being creative, productive and powerful.
Your enemy, the devil, will lie to you through people (even Christians), through situations, through your mind, through demons: he is a master of deception.
Stop concentrating on being broken and start praising and THANKING Jesus for making you whole.
Many people have what psychologists label a fear of failure; but I would say―in the people I have counseled through the years―just as many or more have a fear of success! This teaching will show you not only HOW to receive the anointing for success … but what to prepare for … AFTER your success!

STOP WORRYING – START THANKING
FLIP THE SWITCH
~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.”
– Colossians 3:1
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
– Philippians 4:6
Your enemy, the devil, will lie to you through people (even Christians), through situations, through your mind, through demons. He is a master of deception.
But I have GOOD NEWS for you. Your Friend, Jesus Christ―the Messiah of Israel―will tell you the Truth. He is The Truth; His Word is Truth. Listen to the voice of God. Read His Word and learn from Him. Pray and hear His Spirit. Read and study “Listening to the Spirit.”
Stop worrying about the giants in front of you: the forces, voices and beings that threaten you and keep you from being creative, productive and powerful. David had brothers who THOUGHT the giant, Goliath, was too big to fight. But David THOUGHT the giant was TOO BIG TO MISS! (1 Samuel 17:47.) Focus on God and THANK HIM for YOUR victory!
How do you SEE your challenges? How do you PERCEIVE them: as Obstacles… or as Opportunities? When Moses sent the 12 spies into the Promised Land the ten men of fear had a different perspective than the two men of faith, Caleb and Joshua. The men of fear saw the people of the land as giants and themselves as grasshoppers in their sight.
The 10 spies gave the people of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying,“We are NOT able to go up against this people, for they are stronger than we are.” But Caleb said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well ABLE to overcome.” (Numbers 13:30)
The Hebrew word “able” used in this passage (yakol) means “to have power, or the capacity to prevail or succeed.” My wonderful mother many times read me the little children’s book about the train going up the hill, pulling a load, and saying, “I know I can … I know I can … I KNOW I can!”
David succeeded in killing the giant, Goliath, the same way the two men of faith, Caleb and Joshua, succeeded in entering the promise land: because he saw―as they did―obstacles as opportunities for MIRACLES: Avenues through which God could be glorified! The size of the person is more important than the size of the problem. Who are you on the inside and whom do you trust! Do not focus on the giants … focus on God. That is why the enemy lies to you. The devil wants to get your attention away from your Heavenly Father: away from God’s love for you and His ability to provide for you. THANK GOD ahead for your victory!
I remember teaching my first born son how to sail. We were in a harbor of the ocean where many yachts and boats were maneuvering. My son kept his attention on another yacht … what to miss… instead of our tack (where we should be going). He was focusing on what to miss instead of where to go. So it is with many Christians: focusing on the giants instead of the opportunities and goals.
Stop worrying about whether you are going to sin and start praising and THANKING God for helping you to live holy!
Stop being concerned about failure and start praising and THANKING God for helping you to be successful.
Stop frustrating about being wiped out by cancer and start praising and THANKING Jehovah Rapha (the LORD your Healer) for healing you.
Stop concentrating on being broken and start praising and THANKING Jesus for making you whole. That is why He died on the cross … but you must appropriate that wholeness by faith.
SECRET: Pray AHEAD OF TIME for what you’re going to do AFTER YOUR VICTORY!
Many people have what psychologists label a fear of failure; but I would say―in the people I have counseled through the years―just as many or more have afear of success! King Saul was an example of this. I think he had a fear of success. Pray ahead of time for your turnaround … and receive the anointing for what you are going to do AFTER YOUR VICTORY!
Do not give in and do not give up. If you do NOT quit, you will win!
“I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.”
– Philippians 4:13 10
“With God ALL things are possible.”
– Matthew 19:26

GOD IS GOING TO TOUCH YOUR LIFE TODAY
ONE MIRACLE FROM GOD IS ALL YOU NEED
~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~
_____________________________________
GOD IS GOING TO TOUCH YOUR LIFE TODAY |
MUSIC |
What is that problem you’re going through? That situation? That environment? God is going to heal it today. One miracle from God is all you need. God’s agent, the Comforter … the Holy Spirit … is right in your midst this moment. |
MUSIC |
You remember when David went out against Goliath? Seemed like a great contest, didn’t it? That problem in your life right now. The interpersonal relationship. That friction. That physical affliction. That financial condition. Seems like a contest to you, doesn’t it? Do you remember what the prophet of God spoke as God breathed upon him and God gave a prophetic utterance to Jehoshaphat and said, “Don’t worry. Tomorrow the battle will be taken care of because the battle is the Lord’s.” My friend, he stopped worrying that day … and … this very day you can know that God has touched your situation. |
You remember when David went out against Goliath? Oh, what a giant, nine feet and more, and yet God’s man David had a positive confession. You see, it wasn’t any real contest. It looked like David versus Goliath but it was really God versus Satan and my friend, that’s no contest. It’s all in the way you look at it. It’s however you flip that lever. However you align yourself to that invisible so-called meter over your head. You’ve got the mind of Christ and when David flipped that lever it became no contest. That is when David acknowledged God as his deliverer there was no contest any longer because Satan is defeated. |
You know, God is not related to stores or to man or to dogs or to sticks or to Satan except as Creator. Now, if you know him personally today, God is your Father through faith in Jesus―the greatest Jew alive today―but I’m saying that God as far as a polar relationship—as far as a relationship in time and space—has no relationship to Satan. What I’m saying is when you take the power of God and you compare it to the power of Satan, there is no comparison. That’s what I’m talking about. |
God is your strength, God is your power and He’ll make your way perfect (2 Samuel 22:33). And if God can take you and take me and save us and cleanse us and wash us and make us a new person in Christ, He can surely take our mistakes and turn them around. He can surely take our bad decisions and our failures and turn them around and smite Satan through them and make them glorify Jesus Christ. God wants to bless you today my friend, and He wants to make you a blessing. Don’t ever be afraid of Satan’s power because it’s nothing. It’s zero compared to God’s power in you. It’s not that Satan has a certain amount of strength and God has more, such as a comparison, but it’s that God is just stronger than the devil. Because He created him. It absolutely is that the devil’s power is nothing compared to God’s power and I’m not speaking figuratively. I’m speaking in a literal sense. |
When you’re in Christ you have all power over the enemy and that’s exactly what Jesus told you. This is what Jesus said. “Behold, I give unto you power … over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:13) That’s why God can turn around that condition in your life right now. That problem. (Which is really no problem when you take it to Christ.) The problem dissipates. What is that situation you’re facing right now, brother or sister? Is it an empty billfold? Is it an unexpected pregnancy? Is it depression? Is it four flat tires on your automobile? Is it a wrathful person who keeps plagueing you? |
The Bible says that God even makes the wrath of man to praise Him … and then the remainder of that wrath He will restrain. (Psalm 76:10) Just flip the lever right now. By that I mean loose God into your situation. God will turn that wrath around that’s aimed at you and it will end up praising God, and then God will hold off the rest of the wrath in the future. If you believe it … If you’ll take God’s word … If you’ll confess it and act upon it, God will work in your behalf. That’s what King David did when he killed the giant Goliath. David flipped the lever and confessed God―the God of Israel―as his leader. |
You see, Goliath the giant, said: “Come to me, David, you little squirt, and I’ll give your flesh unto the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the field.” But David―even though he was in a physical human contest here on Earth―flipped the lever … and when he confessed God as a Deliverer … it became no contest. You see, David operated from the realm of the Spirit in the Heaven realm, and that’s just what God says about you … that you’re seated in the Heaven realm with Messiah Jesus. (Ephesians 1:3, 20-21 and Colossians 3:1-2). David confessed positively in First Samuel 17, verses 45 and 46. He said, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield, Goliath, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Host, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied and this day will the Lord deliver you, Goliath, into my hand and I will smite you and take your head from you and I’ll give your carcass unto the host of the Philistines this day, and unto the fowls of the air and unto the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there’s a God in Israel.” |
I want to ask you today, “Will you give God the credit for what He does in your life? Will you confess Him as your deliverer? … as your policeman? … as your covering? … as your doctor? … as your healing, your health, and your Master? Will you allow God to be glorified in that problem you’re in right now?” If so, God will deliver you. God wants to get the glory, my friend He’s a jealous God and He’s got every right to be, because there’s none beside Him … none before Him … and none will be after Him. If you’ll magnify God in that situation―If you’ll confess God in that problem you’re in right now―no matter who laughs at you … no matter who mocks you … God will come and touch in that situation. God will be glorified. God is just waiting for somebody to set that situation up. |
Confess Him as the answer. You may be a governmental leader. You may be in political arenas. You may be, my friend, one of the finest athletes in the world. You might even be in the ministry, but will you let God come into your empire today? Will you let God be glorified in that so-called human kingdom of yours? If you do, God will go to town for you. Loose God today. The Holy Spirit, the comforter, has already come. |
MUSIC |
Loose Him in your situation. Flip the lever. Confess God as your general. Your banker. Your wrath restrainer. Your healer. Then let Him use the agencies that He wants to … whatever they may be to deliver you right this moment.Today God wants to heal that problem right now. Loose Him into your situation in Jesus’ name. |

DESCRIPTION OF THIS TEACHING
In the last podcast teaching we discussed “Algorithm for the End Times: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.” We investigated the importance of establishing margins in our lives. And we talked about the importance of providing SPACE: not to make things too binding … too tight … too limited. We need to plan for MARGIN in our time, our financial dealings, our work, and our relationships!
We also discussed briefly the importance of control. In this podcast I will share with you more about anointed control and HOW to protect yourself in the entrance to the End Times.
________________________________________
ANOINTED CONTROL FOR THE END TIMES
ORGANIC POWER AND PEACE IN THE SPIRIT
Previously I talked to you about the importance of having―or, maintaining―margins in your life. The definition of “margin” is “An amount available beyond what is actually needed.” One source describes it as, “The space between our current load and our limits.”
We emphasized the importance of giving ourselves SPACE. Don’t make things too binding … too tight … too limited: Plan for MARGIN in our time, our financial dealings, our work, our relationships!
We also discussed an Algorithm for the End Times. An algorithm is a set of clear, precise instructions that can be performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a certain goal and that has a recognizable set of end conditions.
In this podcast we will discuss Anointed Control for the End Times: Organic Power and Peace in the Spirit. If you have not listened to―or read the show notes of―the last podcast, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise: An Algorithm for the End Times, make sure you study it.
YOU MUST TAKE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL
In order to stay on top during the coming days in which there will be great economic distress―and opportunities for stress―you must take control and maintain control of your environment: spiritual and physical. You do that by affirmative action (planning and implementation) and through prayer with spiritual warfare. Get on TOP and STAY on top! You must abide in the peace zone. Start preparing NOW.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN CONTROL – ALWAYS CONTROL
Thoughts
Associations
The devil
Activities. Have a plan! Remember to plan for recreation, rest and margins.
To be a good steward you must be IN CONTROL of the areas, domains, facilities, and personnel:
Over which God has placed you; and,
Over which God has given you power and authority.
The reason you must exercise control is so that you may carry out the work God has given you to do. You must do it the way God has told you to do it. You must CONTROL not only your thoughts, but also your ACTIVITIES. Have a plan.
Know where you are headed: each day and in the future―to the end of your life. You must be flexible and follow the leading of the Spirit. God may want you to change your plan(s) at times, but spend time alone with God so that you can hear from Him and establish your goals: both short-range and long-term (lifetime).
Each day when you arise (except your Sabbath day of rest) have a list already made out with the activities you want to accomplish numbered in order of importance (or, priority). To help you do this, every night, or whenever you find convenient time―although forming the habit of making out your list at the same time every day is best―write down on a sheet of paper the THINGS TO DO―or, activities―for the next day.
After you have made your list, go back over it and assign numbers (starting with 1) to the most important thing, and then the things of lesser importance. Then, make out another list, writing down the activities in order of importance: 1, 2, 3, etc. You may not accomplish all the things you have written down for the day; however, you will have accomplished the MOST IMPORTANT things.
Again, allow for flexibility: the Holy Spirit may change your plans the next day; or, you may find the next day that Item 4 on your list should be exchanged for a position of higher priority with, for example, Item 2.
You MUST control the devil, Satan. Jesus said, “Behold, I give unto you POWER over all the power of the enemy.” – Luke 10:19
Jesus gave you POWER:
Over the demons (see verse 20);
Over the power of the devil;
Over Satan, himself.
This is part of the Covenant of Freedom which Jesus Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah of Israel) purchased for you with His own BLOOD! You are FREE: free from the devil, sin, and the world; and you are free to live holy and serve God!
In Matthew 12, verses 22-29, Jesus said, “I cast out devils by the Spirit of God. How can one enter into the house of a strong man [or, the house of the devil], and spoil his goods, except he first BIND the strong man? And then he will spoil his house.” The binding and loosing power of the Church is one of the teachings of Jesus. Jesus said, “Whatever you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven: and whatever you will loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18.)
To learn more about Binding and Loosing (with practical examples) study the mini-book Your Greatest Opportunity for Rewards: Prophetic Prayer. (It is a FAST READ.)
Finally, you MUST exercise control over your associations. This does not mean you have to control your associates; but rather, be in control of the decision making process with regard to the person(s) with whom you will be associated and those with whom you will NOT be associated.
Remember this KEY: Be committed first to God and then God will lead you in whatever commitments you need to make to, or with, people. There are some people with whom it would NOT be profitable in the Spirit for you to be closely associated. This does not mean you do not love them, nor that you do not communicate with them or even work together with them, at times, in the work of the LORD. It does mean, however, that they are not your close associates.
One crucially important area to watch for is association with gossips. Never associate closely with gossips; never have them work for you. Love them and tell them about their sin. If a person gossips about other people, you can be sure that under the right circumstances that person will gossip about you! For help in this area, study the book, Don’t Let the Little Dogs Bother You.
By knowing this fact ahead of time and operating wisely you can save yourself (and the Lord’s work) from much harm. Be well advised (or, forewarned) to stay away from busybodies, gossips, and slanderers. Especially, have no close association with them, except to minister to them and help them.
Jesus ministered to thousands. He also had eleven disciples He poured his life into (the twelfth one was a devil, preordained by the Scriptures). However, Jesus also had a very close relationship with an inner circle of three: Peter, James and John. God has given you the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE and He will also give you the LEADING TO KNOW with whom to be closely associated.
Do NOT try to have associates just to have associates. If God wants you to have some close associates He will cross your path with those of like mind and faith; those with whom you can:
Have wonderful fellowship;
Have common faith to believe God for great things;
Share personal needs, wants, or dreams (aspirations).
There may be times when God would have you (lead you by His Spirit) to dissolve relationships that are already established. You must be very careful to listen and obey God in these times or your ministry could suffer greatly.
When you dissolve a relationship with someone, it does not mean you do not love them, nor that you do not communicate with them (unless God is leading you NOT to communicate with them). Remember, the key is: Be committed first to God!
Be responsible. Be available to help others in whatever way God leads you. You may have to sweat and work hard. You may shed tears at times, but you will have the JOY of the LORD, and that will be your strength.
Serve God because you love Him and you are thankful for what He has done for you―and for what He is doing for you even NOW that you MAY NOT SEE or know about―and then thank Him for what He will do for you in the future! Pray in your language AND in tongues: ask for only the associates God has chosen for you.
To help you prepare for the End Times I have chosen three (3) resources for you:
Babylon the Bitch: Enemy of Israel; and,
Prophetic Calendar for Israel and the Nations: thru 2023.
PUT GOD FIRST AND GO FORWARD!
THRU 2023 |

My friend, let me ask you the most imporant question of your life: If you were to die right now, do you know for sure that you would go to Heaven? If not, pray this prayer:
“God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if Jesus is really my Messiah, please reveal Him to me and I will serve You the rest of my life. Please forgive my sins. Help me to live for you the rest of my time on earth, and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.”

DESCRIPTION OF THIS TEACHING
Two years ago the LORD told me to start preparing His People for living in the End Times: especially how to deal with stress and frustration. At that time many did NOT feel this would be necessary because they would be raptured. My friend, we are―right now―positioned at the entrance to the End Times. Regardless of our view of when the rapture―the catching away―will take place, we need to be “watching for His appearing.”
In the last 10 days the LORD has impressed one word on my mind to deliver to you. The word is this: CONTROL. Study this teaching carefully … then share it with others.

STOP!
Make sure you read or listen to this message.
You will definitely need it.
Do NOT dismiss it just because of the title!
Previously I talked to you about the importance of having―or, maintaining―margins in your life. The definition of “margin” is “An amount available beyond what is actually needed.” One source describes it as, “The space between our current load and our limits.”
An algorithm is a set of clear, precise instructions that can be performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a certain goal and that has a recognizable set of end conditions.
ALGORITHM FOR THE END TIMES
Pray for health, wealth and wisdom … PLUS … the Anointing of the Holy Spirit with discernment.
You need HEALTH so you can work in your ministry or profession.
You need WEALTH so you can initiate and maintain projects and enterprises.
You need WISDOM so you can know what, when, where, and how to do things.
You need the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit to supply resurrection life to your efforts.
You need DISCERNMENT to comprehend the obscure with keen insight―and to know truth from error, (This applies not only to spiritual areas and teaching, but also to such areas as medical, business and investment advice.) As we progress in the End Times, many investment advisors and Christian counselors will provide confusing and conflicting advice.
YOU MUST TAKE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL
In order to stay on top during the coming days in which there will be great economic distress―and opportunities for stress―you must take and maintain control of your environment: spiritual and physical. You do that by affirmative action (planning and implementation) and through prayer with spiritual warfare. Get on TOP and STAY on top! You must abide in the peace zone. Start preparing NOW.
Recently I talked with a minister I had ordained years ago who had a powerful website that was attacked and subsequently taken down by the hosting facility. I called to pray with him and while questioning him found out that he had given control of his website (with password) to a web designer he did NOT know and had never met. There are several ways around this, including setting up an auxiliary password that you control―and which can NOT be changed by another person―to avoid situations like this. His site was a powerful site, getting out the Word of God to many nations.
I use this as an example of CONTROL. I had also counseled the same minister in this regard with other matters in the past, especially regarding Christians who were taking advantage of him.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN CONTROL – ALWAYS CONTROL

Activities. Have a plan! Remember to plan for recreation, rest and margins.
WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE MARGIN
Stress goes up.
Focus narrows.
Relationships suffer.***
You are not prepared for the future.
*** Notice: Relationships only start―or are nourished―during margin.
In Luke 17:1, Messiah Yeshua taught: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come …” This is where “margin” can be a buffer to protect you from stress.
HOW YOU DEVELOP MARGIN
Slow down.
Simplify things in your life: activities, stuff, technology.
Allow for and establish margins in time, money, work and relationship.
Give yourself SPACE. Don’t make things too binding … too tight … too limited: Plan for MARGIN in your time, your financial dealings, your work, your relationships!
The time margin is one of the easiest to “fix,” but at the same time, the one we prioritize least when planning. Messiah was asked the question: “Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in Torah?” Yeshua answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
LOVE provides―it leads the way―for margin. The mechanics of margin are maintained during Sabbath: the day of rest. The mechanics of margin such as:
The need for margin;
The desire for margin; and,
The “how to” plans for margin are inculcated during the Day of Rest with God.
Also, during the Day of Rest there are TWO promised blessings shown in Tanakh: Isaiah Chapter 58:
You will “ride on the high places of the earth,” and …
You will “feed on the heritage of Jacob, your father.”
In other words, you will be:
Above, and in control of the events in your life, with “heights” of enjoyment.
Healthy, wealthy and fruitful.
My friend, start today establishing margins in your time, your money, and your work and your relationships.
Give yourself SPACE. Don’t make things too binding―too tight―too limited: for yourself … your family … your associates. Plan for margin! It will protect you from stress NOW … and in the end times.
In the next podcast I will share with you more about anointed control and HOW to protect yourself in the entrance to the End Times. To help you learn more about the End Times, Health and How to Do Great Works, I have listed three (3) resource books for you below:

DESCRIPTION
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is the PRIMARY CORE SECRET OF POWER. However, there have been—and still are―many servants of God who have honored and been blessed with The Anointing, but who have failed―that is, broken down―by NOT developing and being strong in the secondary core secrets of power.
The SECONDARY CORE SECRETS OF POWER are time, health and money. The purpose of this podcast-teaching is to help you “glide into” and develop these areas of your life. The more we progress through the entrance of the End Times―which “entrance” we are in now―the more we will need to be strong in these areas. And … it is very simple―very easy―to operate in these areas: it just takes a little adjustment and refining of our life styles.

TIME, HEALTH & MONEY
SECONDARY CORE SECRETS OF POWER
Let me share with you briefly about the secondary core secrets of power … and then we’ll move on to WHY you need to be shored up in them soon.
TIME: If I steal YOUR time, I steal your life. I taught this to my children when they were young.“When you’re out of time … you’re out of life: your body dies!” Check it out here > Focus and Time.
Do not forget the importance of Sabbath … or YOUR “Day of Rest” because it will give you more time to be productive. That’s right … if you honor the LORD by keeping one day out of seven as your Day of Rest, you will find that you get more done the other six days. (It’s just like tithing; when you pay God his 10%, you will always get more back from your 90%.) Don’t get me wrong though―the Day of Rest is NOT something you pay to God―it is a provision FROM God for your rest, relaxation and remembrance of His blessings. Also, check this out > Slow Down – Your Prophetic Miracle is on the Way.
Often, the elements of opposition and resistance that come against you from other people―or from demonic spirit forces―will drain your time as well as your energy.
Do NOT let frustration rob you out of your time―and out of God’s blessings. Study the following: Frustration and Your Future
Stop letting little things―especially “toys”―invade your time and steal your peace and productivity. Have much time do you waste on social media or smart phones that you could use effectively in REST and PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL (money). I’m NOT talking about using socal media for the LORD―I’m talking about wasting time with frivolous interaction on social media, games and conversation.
Take time to rest, read and reflect. Above all, take time to LISTEN to God.
HEALTH
You can NOT serve God effectively if you do not feel well.
Eat right … exercise right … think right. Listen, see and speak right. Remember the three monkeys you learned about in grade school: hear no evil; see no evil; and speak no evil? In clandestine op situations―like Special Forces and US Navy Seal operations―you must learn to observe the environment: to size it up. It is the same with YOUR every day life. Stop, look and listen. What’s going on? Is something “out of place” … stealing your peace? Get back on track. The faster you get back on track, the LESS STRESS you will have in life … and you will be more effective in serving God productively.
Study my teaching on: Dealing with Stress in the End Times.
Scriptural fasting and honoring the LORD’s day, or Sabbath, contribute to a proper mental attitude, and are laws of God with built-in bonuses of health and blessing. Read Isaiah Chapter 58.
MONEY: PURCHASING POWER
You will access―or already have access to―purchasing power through the agency of MIRACLES or cash or hard asset accumulation.
The anointing is THE PRIMARY CORE SECRET OF POWER. You must have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Do NOT put education, wealth, social standing or social “clout” above The Anointing. After you have The Anointing, you must MAINTAIN it.
The presence of God is to be treasured above all else. Spend time alone―listening―to the voice of the LORD. Honor the Holy Spirit. Daniel honored God and God honored Daniel. (Read the Book of Daniel.)
There are HARD TIMES coming:
In the economy. Study Roots of Economic Collapse.
In persecution of believers. Study An End Time Key – Persecution is Coming.
In natural calamities. Study Final Days of Planet Earth.
In terrorism. Study Protection from Terrorism and Pandemics.
I want to cover just one of these areas―the economy―briefly. God has assigned me to help you prepare for the coming economic collapse. Purchasing power comes through MIRACLES, cash … or hard asset accumulation.
THE ECONOMY
Remember that I have told you that both inflation and deflation may happen: at different times, of course. It would seem that from all the money (currency) printing by the FED in recent years that high or hyper Inflation is inevitable. However, inflation requires both money supply and velocity. Velocity is basically the “churning cycle” of money from spender to receiver … and then that receiver spending money to another receiver … and, so on.
The gross value of all the goods and services in the US economy is money supply times velocity. It is what is called the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. When money supply times velocity is greater than the normal GDP then the excess manifests as inflation. While money supply has been greatly increased in recent years by the FED (via printing) the velocity, or spending by consumers has NOT increased substantially to produce inflation.
The danger lies in what is referred to as “psychological” or “expected” inflation, caused by changes in spending habits by the public. It can very quickly spiral. I, personally, believe that we are in danger in the future of hyper-inflation. The purchasing power of your dollar would be greatly decreased in such a situation
WARNING: We have actually been in a deflationary period for several years. And, with an election year approaching in the USA, we know that politicians love to cut taxes. Therefore, more spending should be available to the big spenders. So, what’s a girl to do? Prepare for BOTH inflation and deflation. I will tell you HOW to do this in the next podcast.
Remember what I taught you last time in the podcast teaching, Imitational Faith. Do NOT get yourself―or your service for God―into a position where you are on a “gristmill” working to maintain and NOT to be creative. Georges St-Pierre, Mixed Martial Arts champion says it well: “You can tell when your enemy is defeated mentally because he is fighting not to lose instead of fighting to win.”Are YOU fighting to maintain … or are you fighting to WIN?!
Listen to your “peace monitor” and make any necessary changes. Schedule time to rest and listen to God, to create, to help others … and to have fun. God has called you to the most important task; and that task is: WHAT He has called YOU to do. My earhtly father always told me, “Go BIG or stay at home!”
I have listed three books below to help you with time, health and money through faith:
TIME |
HEALTH |
MONEY |
OPPORTUNITY
Purchasing power comes through MIRACLES, cash or hard asset accumulation.
One way is to work with God by helping reach people with the Good News!

My friend, let me ask you the most important question of your life: If you were to die right now, do you know for sure that you would go to Heaven? If not, pray this prayer:
“God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if Jesus is really my Messiah, please reveal Him to me and I will serve You the rest of my life. Please forgive my sins. Help me to live for you the rest of my time on earth, and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.”
Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.

HOW GOD BRINGS SUCCESS WITH THE ANOINTING
MUSIC / INTRO
There are many ways God has to bring you success. Many times He or His angels are working ahead of time – or right on time – in unseen ways to deliver you, to prosper you, and to bring you into a place of super productivity.
Remember, God is FOR YOU. If you ever doubt this, look at the cross. If when we were His enemies He loved us so much that He sent His only son to die for us, how much more, now that we are His friends, does He want to make us whole in every area of our lives. (Romans 5:10)
God has every detail of your life covered. If you walk in constant communion with Him – if the Holy Spirit is your best Friend – and if you are involved in kingdom work, then you can expect His VERY BEST for you.
At times, the enemy may try to attack you through fear. Fear is a spirit. Fear is the opposite of love. God is love. Perfect love casts out ALL fear. “There is NO fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.” [1 John 4:18]
Speak to the spirit (demon) of fear; take your authority over it, bind it in Jesus’ name and cast it back to the pit of hell.
MUSIC
Use the Word of God against the enemy: “For God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” [2 Timothy 1:7]
There are times when the devil would try to come against you with a protracted period of fear. This may, or may not, involve people, as agents of the enemy. This is a GOOD SIGN. This tells you that what you are doing … or about to do … is scaring him. The enemy is afraid. Since he is a liar, and the father of liars, then you know he is “bluffing you”. Don’t be afraid to “call his hand” just like you would in a game of poker. The difference is that you’re going to use your Heavenly Father’s resources (you have the BEST hand!).
In a situation of protracted period of fear, do the following:
Fast;
Wait on God and listen; then,
Do what God tells you.
You may not even have to do anything. The fast may take care of the situation itself. And, remember: If you walk in constant communion with Him … if the Holy Spirit is your best Friend … and if you are involved in kingdom work, then you can expect His VERY BEST for you. There are many ways God works for you and many of these are “behind the scenes” operations: “covert” if you will.
GOD IS ALWAYS READY TO WORK FOR YOU
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you shall go; I will guide you with my eye.” [Psalm 32:8]
Realize that this promise is both “individual” and “corporate”. God is not only working for YOU, but also for those PEOPLE under your tutelage and leadership. He wants you to KNOW His deliverance, direction, and dynamics: for your sake, as well as the sake of those people under your watch care.
MUSIC
To make sure we are the recipients of His instruction, teaching, and guidance we need to be open to His leading and to be Spirit controlled. The verse immediately following the one above tells us, “Don’t be like the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding, and whose mouths must be held in with bit and bridle.” [Psalm 32:9] This is why we need to be in God’s Word every day, talking with Him, listening, and sharing our faith with others: to have understanding of His ways and NOT going our own ways.
GOD WANTS TO WORK FOR YOU IF YOU WILL GIVE HIM THE GLORY
In the Book of Judges, Chapter Six, we read that the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the and of Midian seven years. Then they cried out to the Lord and, as a result, God raised up a deliverer named Gideon. Gideon had a band of 32,000 people ready to go to war. But God told Gideon, “The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, because [your people] Israel will boast in a vain way saying, ‘Our hands won the battle [it wasn’t God]’.” [Judges 7:2]
GOD KNOWS HOW TO WIN YOUR BATTLE – JUST LISTEN TO HIM
The Lord told Gideon, “Whoever is FEARFUL and AFRAID, let him return and depart early … and 22,000 people returned; and there remained 10,000.” Next, the Lord told Gideon, “The people are still too many.” God then had Gideon separate the remaining people into two groups, depending upon how they drank water: if they bowed down upon their knees, or if they put their hand to their mouth and lapped the water with their tongues as a dog laps. God then told Gideon he would save them by the 300 men that lapped, and the other 9,700 were sent home.
You see, God wants to receive the glory for what He does through you, my friend. You do NOT need a lot of big programs, you do NOT need a lot of people, you do NOT need a lot of money. You just need the Spirit of God anointing you and directing you as you obey what He instructs you to do.
MUSIC
GOD CAN GIVE YOU A SIGN THROUGH YOUR ENEMIES
That same night the Lord told Gideon to go down to the host of the enemy because he was going to deliver them into Gideon’s hands. The Lord told Gideon, “But if you are AFRAID to go down then take your servant with you and you shall hear what the enemy says.” One of the enemy soldiers had a dream and Gideon heard him tell another soldier about the dream. The soldier said the dream was about Gideon, a man of Israel, “for into his hand God has delivered us [Midian and all the host].”
That is exactly what happened! That night the Lord gave Gideon and his band of men a GIANT victory. Only 300 with Gideon and they defeated the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east who were in the valley like grasshoppers in multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. [Judges 7:12]
Remember: one person plus God is a MAJORITY! Be watchful for those situations where God can invade the enemy through you and where God will receive ALL the glory! The Lord can use those situations to bring deliverance, prosperity, and wholeness to multitudes of people. And God will be glorified because everyone will know you could never do these things on your own: they are MIRACLES!
“But thanks be unto God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” [1 Corinthians 15:57]

EIGHT TWIN STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS & CONTINUED VISION – PART B
I guarantee you success and continued vision! You will not be barren or unfruitful, if you practice what I am teaching you in this series. Also, you will have an abundant entrance into Heaven. Remember, there are rewards in Heaven for your labor of love and faithfulness here on earth.
Jesus wants to be able to say to you when you enter Heaven: “Well done, you good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord.” [ Matthew 25:21]
You need continued vision for vitality. The Bible says, “Without a vision, the people perish.” [Proverb 29:18] To be successful in this life and to prepare for life in Heaven . . . and to maintain continued vision so we will be fresh and vibrant . . . there are eight (8) TWIN STRATEGIES to help you.
In the last newsletter we discussed the FIRST TWO TWINS for success and continued vision:
Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and,
Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue.
To review these first two twins, see Part A.
We will discuss the next two (2) twins in this newsletter. They are as follows:
Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; and,
Quest for Excellence PLUS Temperance.
The remaining twins for success and continued vision will be discussed in subsequent ezine teachings.
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE plus SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
If you are going to be used greatly by God, then you will have to make up your mind ahead of time that you are willing to do things . . . and exploits . . . that are out of the ordinary. Yeshua (Jesus) did not fit into the normal mold of man, even though He was God in human flesh. He was a perfect man . . . but he was focused on doing the will of God . . . not the will of man.
Likewise, if you make the decision to do the will of God during your time here on earth, then neither will you will fit into the normal mold of man: you will seem eccentric to the world. The definition of eccentric is as follows: 1. Unconventional and slightly strange; 2. Not placed centrally or having its axis placed centrally. But you see, this definition is from the perspective of what is “normal” and God did NOT call us to be normal by the world’s standards. Rather, the normal Christian life is abnormal to the world.
The origin of the word “eccentric” is from the Greek “ekkentros“: “ek” meaning “out of” plus “kentron” meaning “center,” therefore the meaning of: “out of center.” John Steward Mill gives an insightful comment of truth concerning this:
“Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in society has always been proportioned to the amount of genius, mental vigor and moral courage which it contained. That so few men now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of our time.”
Specialized knowledge is highly dependent upon genius AND mental vigor. The second of these two, mental vigor, can complement what may be lacking in the first of the two: genius.
What is that GREAT THING you want to do for God? Do you have the SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE to attain that goal? Are you willing to sacrifice, study, and research to obtain the knowledge required to complete the task? Don’t be a lazy follower of the Lord. God did not call us to complacency, but rather to excellence. I have been on this planet for several scores of years, and I still spend much time studying and researching to find NEW, BETTER, and MORE PRODUCTIVE ways to reach the world for Messiah and to help my fellow man. Don’t be afraid . . . and never get too old . . . to go back to school for more formal education.
One of the best schools for people to learn MEDIA PRODUCTION, and one which I fully endorse, is Full Sail Real World Education based in Orlando, Florida, USA. They may be contacted by phone at 800.226.7625 or 407.679.6333. FAX to 407.678.0070. You may contact them on the web at WWW.FULLSAIL.COM. Some of their major fields of study are:
Film;
Digital Media;
Recording Arts;
Computer Animation;
Entertainment Business;
Show Production and Touring;
Game Design and Development.
We are living in a day like the Prophet Daniel described where “knowledge shall be increased” and we should take advantage of it to advance the kingdom of God. Daniel, in a passage of scripture dealing with the end times, tells us ” . . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” [Daniel 11:32] “Exploit,” in the sense used here, means literally “to do successively unfolding bold, courageous works!”
There are many other ways to influence society and to reach the world for Messiah other than through the internet and social media. And there are many NEW ways to help yourself gain SUCCESS! Pray and ask God to reveal these to you. Then, obey Him and be diligent to study in order to prepare yourself to be used by the Master: to be a good steward.
No amount of SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, however, will be of significant time value without SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. No matter how successful we become in life, it will not be of any time value unless we know God personally. If we know God through His Son, Jesus the Messiah, then we have eternal life. [John 3:16] The measure of a man’s success in life is how many of his children make it to Heaven. If we know the Lord, we are living part of our eternal life NOW, while here on earth, and then in Heaven. It will never end!
Yeshua taught us, “What does it profit a man if he gains all the world, and loses his own soul? Also, what shall a man give in exchange, or to buy back, his soul?” [Mark 16:26 – Mark 8:36]
We need to have TOTAL success in life: in this life on earth and in the eternal beyond; and God has provided just such means to attain that goal. God has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED for: LIFE, and GODLINESS.
“According as His divine power has given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue.” [2 Peter 1:3]
He has given us PROMISES so that we can share or partner with Him in His divine expansion – or growth of descendants – after we have escaped, by His saving grace, the ruin that is in the world through lust. In other words, after we are born again and start serving Messiah, we can partner and be a companion with God in successfully bearing fruit: that is, growing other seed-descendants. These include our own children who are born again while also reaching out to the rest of the world. “Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” [2 Peter 1:4]
We should BELIEVE this and EXPECT it. Our children should be our greatest disciples. If not, something is wrong, or out of place.
Learn the PROMISES in Gods Word; believe them and appropriate them by faith. Take quality time daily to study and meditate in God’s Word. I usually separate my “study time” from my “devotional time.” In the morning, before I start my active day, I have my devotional time where I just want God to speak to me and minister to me through His Word, even before I have my prayer time. I made a rule years ago: “No Bible, no breakfast.” Eat the Word of God first. Jesus said, “It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” [Matthew 4:4]
When you study the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, and to teach you so you can teach others. The scripture instructs us, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” [2 Timothy 2:15]
Combining SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE will provide you a powerful impetus for ongoing success and continued vision. To be really successful we need to share our success with others: our family, our brothers and sisters in Messiah, our community, and the world.
THE MORE YOU KNOW . . . THE MORE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN USE! This applies not only to mental knowledge but also knowledge gained through the acquisition of physical skills or craftsmanship. Bezaleel was such a man:
“And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.” [Torah: Exodus 31:1-5]
When SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE is combined with SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE, there is a holy anointing upon our lives: our talents, skills, and abilities. Together, they not only complement each other, but they synergize each other.
But always remember: “Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.” [1 Corinthians 8:1] Temper your knowledge (both specialized and spiritual) with LOVE!
Daniel was a leader, counselor, and basically Prime Minister in three different foreign kingdoms (in which he was captive) partly because of his knowledge base. The Bible tells us concerning Daniel and the three Hebrew teenagers who accompanied him into captivity:
“Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability . . .” [Daniel 1:4]
QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE plus TEMPERANCE
The Bible tells us another of the secrets of Daniel’s success:
“It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; and over these three presidents: of whom Daniel was first, so that the princes might give accounts unto the presidents, and the king should have no damage.”
“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an EXCELLENT spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.” [Daniel 6:1-3]
The word here used for “excellent” is “yateer” and in its root form means “preeminent, or very exceedingly excellent.” That’s because the spirit that was in Daniel was the Ruach ha Chodesh (the Holy Spirit). Because of Daniel’s separation and devotion to God, he manifested a quality of excellence in whatever he attempted.
The Greek word for “virtue” in the New Testament is “arete“: it means “excellence and valor.” We need to be people of EXCELLENCE. Our nature should be to make excellent decisions based upon virtue.
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” [Colossians 3:23-24]
Don’t compare yourself with someone else; just do what you know God wants you to do. Do your best, don’t be satisfied with low quality work or effort. It’s interesting that the origin of the word “mediocre” is from the Latin “mediocris” which means of “middle height or degree” but literally means “somewhat rugged or mountainous.” It is derived from the words “medius” for “middle” and “ocris” for “rugged mountain.”
To do mediocre work is actually harder on you because you are causing your conscience to condemn you. It is like climbing a rugged mountain. The Bible says, “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.” [1 John 3:20] The EXCELLENT choice may be more of a sacrifice temporarily, but it will be easier on you in the long term. You will never go wrong striving for excellence!
Practice excellence in your CHARACTER. Be transparent and keep your word. Psalm 15 is a good start for practical living and developing excellence in character. Also, loving our neighbor as we do ourself, and doing unto him as we would have him do to us, is the guideline our Master set before us.
Practice excellence in your WORK. Be a good steward for you earthly employer and your Heavenly employer. Colossians 3:22 (Brit Chadashah) instructs us NOT to do sight-labor, that is: work that needs watching.
In your quest for excellence, develop your skills to the BEST of your ability. Be a good manager of what God has given you and over which God has placed you. Keep improving and growing in your knowledge base, your acumen, and your skills. Study Part A of this ezine teaching to help develop excellence in acumen; study the section on “Decisive Nature and Virtue.”
Along with the quest for excellence you need to partner with temperance, or self control. Many people, on their quest for excellence, do NOT allow for rest or leisure. This is vital to SUCCESS and CONTINUED VISION.
Rest, and also quietness, is necessary for wholeness. A key scripture and principle that I have tried to practice in my life for many years is found in Isaiah 30:15:
“For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall you be saved; and in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.”
The word “leisure” comes from the Latin word “licere” which means “to be permitted.” The Latin word for “work” is “negotium” which means “nonleisure.” Most so-called advanced societies today have turned this around and view leisure as nonwork!
Tim Hansel, in his book When I Relax I Feel Guilty, points out that the Greeks stressed the centrality of lesiure, but they added another important facet. The Greek word for “work” was “ascholia,” which means “absence of leisure.” The word for leisure was “schole,” which leads to the English words for school and scholarship. Leisure, then, was a time for growth and development.
Leisure is more than just non-work. It is when we PERMIT ourselves time for rest, growth, and development. Leisure is BOTH the embryo and the catalyst for creativity, and for NEW experiences, people, play, and places.
We have to permit ourselves the time to rest . . . to re-create . . . and to create!
In the last newsletter we discussed the FIRST TWO TWINS for success and continued vision:
Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and,
Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue.
In this newsletter we discussed the third and fourth twins:
Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; and,

THE POWER OF A SEPARATED LIFE
After I became a follower of Messiah Yeshua I committed quality time to memorizing scripture. One of the key Bible portions I memorized was as follows:
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And, what communion has light with darkness?
Wherefore come out from among them, and you be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
And I will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” [Brit Chadashah: 2 Corinthians 6:14, 17-18]
I didn’t have to leave my friends when I became a believer; they left me! When my lifestyle became different and my interests were focused in Godly avenues, there was no common ground. However, I still talked to my friends about the Lord, and prayed for them, and loved them with Messiah’s compassion. Thankfully, many of them are now followers of Yeshua who serve the Lord, including my immediate birth family, uncles, aunts, cousins . . . and now all of my children and grandchildren.
What a beautiful promise! God will be a Father to us: He will protect us, provide for us, and be personal in His relationship to us. Do you want to have a REALLY CLOSE walk with the Lord? Then learn and practice the beauty of a separated life.
In this teaching we will study the PURPOSE, the PRIVILEGE, the PROTECTION, and the PRODUCTIVITY of a separated life.
THE PURPOSE OF A SEPARATED LIFE
Why live a separated life?
“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which has called you is holy, so you be holy in all manner of behavior; because it is written, ‘You be holy, for I am holy’.” [Leviticus 11:45; 1 Peter 1:15-16]
THE PRIVILEGE OF SEPARATION
Why is it a privilege to live a separated life?
“For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your vain manner of living which you received by tradition from your fathers; but you were redeemed with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who truly was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for YOU.” [1 Peter 1:18-20]
“According as He has CHOSEN us in Him BEFORE the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” [Ephesians 1:4]
THE PROTECTION OF SEPARATION
Living a separated life of holiness unto the Lord provides extra angelic protection for the believer.
“The angel of the Lord encamps around those that fear Him and delivers them.” [Psalm 34:7]
“Because you have made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation; there shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.” [Psalm 91:9-11 – read the whole Psalm]
“And he answered, fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” [2 Kings 6:16-17]
Other examples: Daniel in the den of lions and the three Hebrew teenagers in the furnace of fire. These were Hebrews, who as teenagers had separated themselves unto God.
THE PRODUCTIVITY OF SEPARATION
Why is it productive to live a separated life?
“Let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
If a person therefore cleanses himself from these [the works of dishonor and iniquity], he shall be a vessel unto honor, set apart, worthy, competent and profitable for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.” [2 Timothy 2:19-21]
The greatest blessing you can have on earth is to walk with God!
Enoch walked with God, and he was not found anymore here on earth because God took him. [Genesis 5:24]
Elijah walked with God, and when it was time for him to go to Heaven, he was taken up by angels in a chariot surrounded by fire. [2 Kings 2:11]
You say, “But Apostle Handley, these were SPECIAL people.” Yes, and so are YOU . . . if you WANT to be. They were special people because they wanted to be special people.
The question is: “Do you WANT to be SPECIAL?”
The Holy Bible shows us that Elijah was just like you and me. He had the same emotions, the same temptations, and the same faculties. “Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” [James 5:17-18]
As we approach the last days of Planet Earth and the return of Israel’s Messiah we should all the more want to live a separated life. The Apostle Peter told us ahead of time:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of people should you be in all holy manner of living and godliness . . .” [2 Peter 3:10-11]
The Apostle Paul assigned Titus, a young preacher, the responsibility of pastoring and appointing elders in Crete and explained to him that it was profitable for believers to maintain good works. “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that those people who have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.” [Titus 3:8]
Paul also taught Timothy, who he placed in charge of the church at Ephesus, that there is great gain in living for God. “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” [1 Timothy 6:6]
If we are going to live a separated life so that we will be prepared to be used by the Master, then we have to be like a soldier. “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Yeshua ha Meshiach (Jesus the Messiah). No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, so that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” [2 Timothy 2:3-4]
Holiness is the principle that separates the believer from the world. Holiness is a quality of personal conduct that consecrates us to God’s service. The Apostle Paul urged the believers in his day . . . and urges us today through the scripture . . . to walk in holiness and thereby please God.
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor.” [1 Thessalonians 4:3-4]
Notice, in the verse above, that YOU are to POSSESS your vessel: you are the owner . . . you are in control. Don’t say “The devil made me do it!” Don’t say, “I couldn’t resist!” Have you been struggling with a certain temptation? Then get on your knees and CRY OUT to God. Ask Him to deliver you and sanctify you. The Bible says, “Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” [Psalm 50:15]
God is not dangling temptation in front of you to tempt you. “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does he tempt anyone.” [James 1:13]
God has made a WAY for you to exit temptation, but you have to WANT to exit! “There has NO temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above that which you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.” [1 Corinthians 10:13]
In the original Greek of which this passage was written it is actually saying that God will do the same as cut a path through a rock for you to make a way for you to escape . . . IF you WANT to escape! Cry out to Him and He will deliver you! God loves you and wants to help you. He also wants to use you to help others!
God may allow you to be tested from time to time, but only to see if you are worthy of Him investing His future talents and gifts in you so that you can be used for GREAT WORKS. What if after you have been used greatly, you mess up and ruin your testimony? Or, what if you make God or His people look bad?
Set apart a time for prayer and fasting to consecrate yourself to His service. Pray for a consecrated life: a life set apart in holiness and separation so you can be a vessel unto honor . . . worthy, competent, and profitable for the Master’s use . . . prepared unto every good work.
The more you are in the arena and productive for God, the more you will be shot at! And there will be different times you will need to draw on God’s strength through prayer and fasting. But always remember: Your best defense is a good offense. Keep reaching people for Messiah . . . keep under the anointing!

HOW TO BE USED BY GOD IN A POWERFUL WAY
If you’re going to be used GREATLY by God, there are eight (8) things you will need.
Three (3) of the eight you MUST HAVE.
One (1) of the eight will help you IMMENSELY.
Four (4) of the eight you USUALLY NEED but probably won’t have UNLESS you pray and fast.
These four can make the difference between being successful or NOT accomplishing GREAT achievements for God!
The three (3) things you MUST have:
[] Anointing
[] Wisdom
[] Knowledge
The one thing which will help you IMMENSELY:
[] Network
The four things you USUALLY NEED are as follows:
[] Time
[] Money
[] Strength
[] Plan
It is the purpose of this teaching to instruct you as to HOW to obtain all eight of the above, and thereby be in a position to be GREATLY USED BY GOD.
If you are serious, God will meet you … and equip you. Let me first recommend that you review or study the following writings, which may be found and printed out, from the “Archives” of The Apostles Newsletter:
• Remove the Barriers
• The Vision and the Miraculous
• An Anointing for Success
• The Secret
• The Move
• The Idea
• The Covering
• The Blessing
• Trends, Times, and Tongues
• Signs and Wonders
• Multiply Your Ministry
• Turning Attacks Into Victory
[] THE ANOINTING
The Holy Spirit is your best friend. Spend much time with Him. Yes, I know He lives inside you if your human spirit has had a definite spiritual “jump start”: born again. But just because someone is a guest in your house … or even lives there … doesn’t mean you spend time with them. It’s the same way with the Holy Spirit.
Before I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (received my heavenly language) I had sense enough to ask the Holy Spirit to “breathe on me” (to anoint me) before I would preach, and even before I would witness. I saw people come to Christ in great numbers in and outside of the USA.
Now I ask the Holy Spirit to anoint my writing and the various projects the Lord would have me undertake. When we produce social media releases, send out videos, cassettes, CD’s, literature, and workers (ministers) we lay hands on them and speak the BLOOD of Christ over them. We ask the Holy Spirit to anoint them: to save, heal, deliver, empower, and prosper the people receiving the ministry of the items or workers being sent out.
When I was a new Christian, I attended a Sword of the Lord Conference (one of the many I was privileged to attend) with great soul-winning ministers like Dr. John R. Rice. One evening Dr. Rice laid hands on me and prayed this prayer: “Father, breathe the breath of God on this young man for soul-winning power.” Within 15 minutes I led a person to Christ while I stopped to buy gasoline (petrol) for my automobile. That was the start of years of wonderful soul-winning adventures.
Since that time the Lord has taught me to ask for an anointing by the Spirit for multiplication upon my labors so that the results of the ministry will be multiplied: new churches and Messianic synagogues being raised up in every neighborhood, village, and community of the earth.
Ask the Holy Spirit to breathe on you. Talk to Him. Walk closely with Him. Ask for the anointing when you minister. Tell the Holy Spirit you need Him. Then, after the MIRACLES take place, give the Holy Spirit all the credit. Acknowledge to the crowds you’re ministering to that it was the Holy Spirit who did the work. It is the Holy Spirit who supplies the resurrection power of Christ on earth! Get alone immediately after you minister and tell your best friend – the Holy Spirit – that you know it was Him who did it!
[] WISDOM
Wisdom is the body of knowledge and experience gained – or developed – within a specified period or society. Practically speaking, wisdom is knowledge in action. The Holy Bible tells us how to initiate this process of development:
“The FEAR of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” [Proverbs 1:7 and 9:10]
I was thinking the other day of a prominent minister who fell into sin, was sentenced to prison, and later repented. He said that in all the time he was sinning that he never forgot that God loved him. But he said that his problem was that he forgot the FEAR of God!
We are so blessed to be the recipients of God’s love, mercy, and grace that we often forget His greatness and authority. We need to practice DAILY repentance and humility before the one “who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell.” [Matthew 10:28]
On the other end of the spectrum, God’s wisdom will cause us to be slow to judge.
There are certain conditions of immorality laid down in the Bible which require us to impose church discipline. [1 Corinthians Chapters 5 and 6]. In this life we are to make certain judgments in relation to fellow believers as required by Scripture. In the next life, however, we will judge the world, and even angels. [1 Corinthians 5:12 and 6:2-3]
The FEAR of the LORD should cause us to be very slow to judge, and only then with NO acrimonious intent. There should be NO exhibition of strong animosity or resentment. But the FEAR of the LORD should cause us to judge in love, seeking the good of the person being disciplined. Why? Because this is the nature of our Father and we are to manifest His nature.
We, of all people on the earth, should consider where we came from … none of us were perfect. None of us were clean before God. If God were to mark offenses, who would stand? If it weren’t for Jesus, we would all be in a pit like Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. [Numbers 16:33]
“Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.” [Romans 14:4]
We have enough “beams” and “timber” in our own eyes to be removed before we attempt to remove the straw from our brother’s eye.
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” [ Matthew 7:3]
The FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM. It will cause us to act with controlled moderation in our own lives, as well as cause us to be SLOW to judge others, and then only out of LOVE for the one(s) being disciplined – true love, not a false love that only appears loving outwardly – seeking the benefit of the one(s) being disciplined.
“The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility.” [Proverbs 15:33]
This kind of wisdom will cause us to be humble and will ultimately bring us into honor where we can be USED GREATLY by God.
[] KNOWLEDGE
Wisdom is knowledge in action. By reading God’s Word, we know about God and what He wants … we learn His principles, also. When we have great reverence for our Heavenly Father, we desire to do what pleases Him, and begin to apply the knowledge we have from and about Him.
For decades I have conducted A.C.T.I.O.N. Seminars in different countries. A.C.T.I.O.N. is a mnemonic for Advanced Christian Training Inside Our Nation. We do our best to bring knowledge to pastors and Christian workers; knowledge which will help plant, nourish, and grow churches around the world. The Christian worker who is responsible for the work has to grow before a church can grow. No matter what your ministry office – apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, Christian worker – you must be a good steward of the intellectual faculties God has given you.
It amazes me how many people, even Christians, have the idea that they don’t need any more education after the age of 25 … and many, for sure, don’t think they do after the age of 50. I still engage myself in formal study every few years. Even at the time of this writing I go to a secular school and attend three classes of four (4) hours each (sometimes attending other classes). The reason I do this is twofold: 1. To be a good steward of what God has given me; and, 2. To sharpen my skills to enable me to reach more people for Christ.
I have been able, by God’s grace, to reach multitudes of people in many countries because of study that I did in formal educational institutions as well as independent study and research on my own. And this was all in addition to graduate theological seminaries I attended after earning a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (and in eleven other colleges and universities).
Don’t be afraid to augment your knowledge base. But remember this warning:
“Knowledge inflates our egos and makes proud, but love builds up.” [1 Corinthians 8:1 – my translation]
God may be dealing with you about going back to school. I have a friend who started a church in a ghetto area. He is one of the most spiritual and practical men I know, yet he has two (2) earned Ph.D. degrees. Sure, it takes time, effort, money, and sometimes sacrifice … but what doesn’t that’s worthwhile.
God may be dealing with you about quitting school. I have a friend – a man I ordained into the ministry over 20 years ago – who is also one of the most spiritual and practical men I know. He obeyed the Holy Spirit and dropped out of university to go to the nations of the world. The Spirit honored his obedience and uses him greatly in many countries.
Just make sure you obey what the Holy Spirit wants YOU to do, that He is leading you, and that you give Him the credit for any success! And … always be willing to study to obtain KNOWLEDGE, whether on your own or formally.
The more you KNOW … the more the Holy Spirit can use!
[] NETWORK
By working with other people and organizations you can greatly multiply and intensify your efforts in the Lord’s work. For clarity of definition, I am NOT talking about trying to meet people to receive contributions for your ministry. If the Lord is leading you to do that, that’s another matter; however, I purposely do not do that. I feel that the Lord can lead me to the people who would like to share in reaching the world for Christ, and that he can and will lead me to the people and organizations with whom He wants me to work.
Christians need to “brainstorm” more. Just because we know that God can give us ideas directly, doesn’t mean He might not want to use other people to “sharpen” the creative and thought processes with which He has endowed us.
Also, different people have different skills … and different skill levels! By working with and communicating with other people and organizations, you enhance the opportunities to refine and empower the ideas He has given you. One time I met with a group of engineers from Hughes Aircraft Corporation. In one of the Hughes divisions I had been invited to minister different times in both the engineering section and also the factory.
I had an idea that I knew was from God. I had been told – from one of the wildest and most creative people I knew – that the idea was too far out for them. That was my “sign” that the idea was from God. I met with the people from Hughes and we brainstormed about different aspects of getting the project off the ground. It definitely was something that could reach millions of people for Christ … and something (at least to my knowledge) that had never been done before.
As I became cognizant of the skills that each person in that group possessed, I assigned them different sectors of the project. Within days these men had each perfected and finished their respective assignments. That project reached some of the wealthiest Jews in the world – as well as multitudes of other people – in the center of the marketplace. I could probably never have done the project without the help and expertise of these men … and even if I could have … it would have taken much more time and money, and would not have been of the quality that our Lord deserves.
To help you in networking, working with other people and organizations, go to The Archives of The Apostles Group and study the following newsletters:
Unity – Part A (June 16, 2002); and,
Unity – Part B (June 18, 2002)
Or, you may logon to www.realmiracles.com and select “Advanced Studies” from the BLUE navigation bars on the left of any page. In the Advanced Studies you will be able to select “Unity – Part A” and “Unity – Part B” [DCC 19 and DCC 20].
Ask God to lead you, or cross your path with, those people and organizations with whom He would like you to work. And don’t be concerned if the Lord does NOT lead you to others with whom to work. Many times, the Lord wants only YOU working on a particular project or ministry endeavor. The scriptures give us numerous examples of people who did great feats for God by themselves, with the anointing and leading of the Holy Spirit.
If you are going to network with other people, then choose your associates wisely. There is an old saying, “You are who you run with.” My mother many times told me, “Birds of a feather flock together.” After hearing that so many times in my life, I developed a simple axiom: “Don’t flock with stupid, unproductive, and lazy people.” And later in life, I honed that expression, “Don’t flock with people who don’t have a vision for reaching the world for Christ.” And even later: “Don’t flock with people who don’t honor the anointing.”
There’s another old saying, “If you lay down with dogs, you’re going to get fleas!” Associate with WINNERS … SOUL WINNERS! “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” [Daniel 12:3]
Networking is simply working with people to reach and help other people for Christ, and can take on a variety of creative expressions. It doesn’t just mean a Bible or evangelistic conference, although those are key things. Remember, God is “The Starter” … so ask Him to help you develop your creativity. If you’ve never been creative, then ask Him to START the creative process in your life and ministry to magnify His Son. Then pray, plan, and implement!
And most importantly, don’t disregard … or discard … IDEAS which God gives you. An idea may not be for you; it may be for someone else. As a good steward you should share ideas with appropriate people, unless God has told you to keep them confidential. An idea can be multiplied to reach millions for Christ and to build the kingdom of God; also, to help people in need. Many times, you may find that after sharing an idea, nobody picks up on it. That is, nobody acts on the idea; people may even think it’s a foolish idea (usually because it’s never been done). In those situations, God will probably show YOU how to do it … and bless you exceedingly!
[] TIME
You need anointed time to be GREATLY used by God. You need wisdom in the planning and use of your time. It is true that you’re living part of your eternal life now; however, life on this earth … and in this present body … is limited. If someone steals your time, they are, in effect, killing you. Why? Because they’re taking part of your life here on earth.
The Holy Bible tells us, “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” [Ephesians 5:16]
The word for “redeem” here used is the Greek “exagorazo,” which means “ransom“. This scripture is literally telling us to “buy up the time“. We are to “ransom” the time; “rescue” the time from loss. We are to seize our opportunities eagerly and decisively!
There are several words for “time” in the Bible. There is “chronos” time, a segment of time … there is also a “season” of time … and there is “kairos” time, which is the word used in this passage. “Kairos” time is a set or proper time. It is an opportune season of time. A time that can pass you by if you do NOT seize the opportunity!
[] MONEY
You will find through the years that TIME, which we discussed above, and MONEY are inter-related. When you work for wages, you are selling your time, even if it is via your services. What is your time worth – to God, to your family, to the ones to whom you minister, and to yourself.
You will also find that TIME and STRENGTH, which we will discuss next, are inter-related. If you over extend your time to make money, then you are robbing God, your family, the ones to whom you minister, and yourself. When you steal time from yourself, you lose strength.
The Apostle Paul made tents as a source of income. He worked willingly with his hands so that he could give the gospel freely (with no charge). [Acts 20:33-35, 1 Corinthians 4:12]
You need to establish a consistent pattern of paying tithes and giving offerings to God and stay with it. The scripture teaches us that this is one way you can PROVE God. [Malachi 3:10-11]
If you are in a ministry position where your sole source of income is from contributions, love-offerings, or salary … or a combination of them … you still have to be watchful not to over extend your time in one area to the neglect of another area. You are still “selling” your time. For example, you have to prayerfully balance your time between the following:
Personal time with God;
Your family;
Those to whom you minister; and,
Yourself.
It is NOT the money which is the most important issue in your life. When you run out of time (when you die), money will do you no good. So when it comes to selling your time you must have a PLAN, both short-term and long-term:
A plan for maintaining your strength; and,
A plan for maintaining your ministry.
[] STRENGTH
To be used GREATLY by God, you need to maintain your health so yo will have strength and energy. One of the best things I can do for you in this line is to recommend that you go to “The Archives” of The Apostles Group and study the five (5) volume series “Health and Healing” (from September 15th through September 29th, 2002). Or you may go to www.realmiracles.com and select “Health” from the BLUE navigation bars on the left of any page. There you may study or print out the 32 page booklet.
If you’re walking closely with God, He will many times tell you things to change: in your life, or in your eating habits. God wants you healthy MORE than YOU want to be healthy! I remember one time six months before I was to go on an extended ministry trip overseas that God told me to get in shape. By His grace I lost 43 pounds in seven (7) weeks.
It was easy. I fasted, prayed, changed my eating habits, and exercised. If I hadn’t obeyed the voice of the Spirit, there were three times during that trip I could have over exerted my body. Even the natives told me they had said to one another, “How does he do it?” I even carried my bags and a native’s bags up a mountain!
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Treat it as such! Be a good steward of your body: for the sake of God, your family, others, and yourself! If you’re a young person, start practicing good nutritional habits now, as an investment for the future.
[] PLAN
If your plan fits into God’s plan
……. you will have God’s faith
………….. and God’s faith always works!
If I asked you to tell me specifically what it is that you want Christ to do through you in the next six months, five years, and 25 years, could you tell me? If not, you need to spend some time alone with God praying and fasting and receive some instructions: formulate your plan. One time while I was alone praying and fasting the Lord had $100,000 USD shoved under the door to me. There was a postage stamp on an envelope (from another country) showing a large wheat combine threshing the harvest!
If you don’t have a PLAN, how will you implement?
During this time alone, as you are receiving the instructions for your PLAN, be praying and receiving from the Holy Spirit the following:
TIME;
MONEY;
STRENGTH;
And … ask for an anointing from the Holy Spirit upon each of the above. The devil shudders – he is terribly afraid – of anointed time, anointed money, anointed strength … and anointed people.
Now … you know HOW to be used by God in a POWERFUL way!
