You've Got Mail!

The Apostle's Pen
February 2017


You've Got Mail
Matthew 3: 1-2
In those days, John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

It is time to see something else. The message of John the Baptist, the message of repentance was as much a message of renewed sight as it was of change.

The Invitation
You are hereby invited to change your perspective. You are invited to join the process of repentance that allows you to enjoy the benefits of the Kingdom of God
NOW!!

Too often repentance is equated with sin and turning from sin to righteousness; without embracing the larger concept of repentance which is related to change of thought, sight and self-help to something much broader.

John's message is and was about a greater, superior reality; the reality of the Kingdom of God being available not in the hereafter; but here and now!

To repent means to change your way of thinking. Why? The kingdom of heaven is at hand and this kingdom has a totally different reality than the one you have been living in.

This new reality can only become yours if you change your way of thinking, your way of perception.

Repentance is a process of thought that is intended to create a vision of a new reality. It is the process Paul alludes to in Romans 12: "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The renewal Paul is inviting us into is the ability to see the greater, the ability to see the Kingdom of God in manifestation.

If you do not repent, you will only see what you have always been seeing.

Repentance is the call of the Spirit of the Lord upon the heart of the believer to move from one state to another. We are not simply to stop thinking what we once thought, we must begin thinking from a realm we have never thought from before.

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God...
 
We are living in a time that is full of invitations to see something more, something greater. It is the season of acceleration of the acquisition of promises made by our Father. Heaven is inviting to us to see the Kingdom, to see the reality of what is truly ours.

But not only are we being invited to see the Kingdom; we are being given the path to get there.
This path is called FAITH and is accessed by being born again.

John 3:3
There was a man of the Pharisee sect, Nicodemus, a prominent leader among the Jews. 2Late one night he visited Jesus and said, "Rabbi, we all know you're a teacher straight from God. No one could do all the God-pointing, God-revealing acts you do if God weren't in on it." 
3Jesus said, "You're absolutely right. Take it from me: Unless a person is born from above, it's not possible to see what I'm pointing to-to God's kingdom." (TMB)

It's Time to Prosper

he Apostle's Pen
January 2017

"It's Time to Prosper"

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

Prosperity is not an acquisition as much as it is a mindset. It is time for us to receive the intention of God for our lives. It is time to prosper.

Psalms 35:27 reminds us: "God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."  
God does not want you poor, He does not want you to lack in any area. He wants you to prosper!

In this year of 5777, we must align ourselves with a prosperity mindset.

Did you know that miracles happen every day, but people often miss their miracle because they fail to allow their miracle to come forth through their language?

The times we are living in are conducive for miracles. Change is all around us, but we have the power to decide our type of change.

If you are sick and tired of lack; if you are ready to move into the financial prosperity that you are ordained for, then it's time to decree with fresh authority: 'The Lord takes pleasure in my prosperity.'
The war against poverty and lack begin on the battlefield of the mind. Change your mind, change your status.

This is the time of prospering. Declare it because it has already been decreed.
Psalm 2:7
"I will declare the decree
      The Lord has said to Me.

Every word, promise, dream, perception given to you by Father God gives your declaration its power and its authority. It is time to write a new chapter in your story, a story of more than enough, a story of prosperity and blessing.
It is time to the declare the decree and then command the heavens and the earth to release your goods. Prosperity is your right; it is your inheritance.

We have entered one of the greatest seasons for the miraculous. The entire world is at a tipping point for change. World governments, global economies & corporate business will all have a new look in the days ahead. As the world turns, so should you.

Turn from lack and less toward more than enough. Turn from poverty to prosperity, turn from needing to blessing.
It's time for You to prosper!!

Don't let your mind wander to any reason why you shouldn't prosper. We are in a miracle season. The prosperity that is available to us has nothing to do with our worthiness but with the pleasure of our Father.

God takes pleasure in our prosperity!!!

Your action plan:
Look at scriptures that open a prosperity mindset to you. Make them personal. Then declare them in the atmosphere.
Find prophecies spoken over you regarding your financial future. It doesn't matter if they were spoken last year or twenty years ago. God's word does not return to Him void...
Listen for instructions from heaven on how to access your prosperity NOW!!
Obey...

Prosperity miracles are circling, looking for a landing place. Give them your address
