What a wonderful response to my email last week! So many people let me know how much they appreciated the teaching that the Lord laid on my heart. More than ever before, I sense that this is one of the most amazing hours in our ministry’s history. Next week I will tell you more about a man who literally died during one of the services in Southeast Asia, yet was brought back to life through God’s power! Oh saints, this is a prophetic time as God is opening new doors to the Gospel. It is a new chapter, a time of regeneration and restoration. The anointing we’ve seen during recent days was beyond anything I have sensed in years, and the miracles flowed like warm oil from heaven. I’m so excited about what happened in Indonesia and Singapore. My faith has been lifted immeasurably. And I want you to know that God desires to move believers everywhere into a new season of faith and abundance! He wants to bless you so you can be a greater blessing to others. I believe that your greatest days are just around the corner, and that is why I wanted to send this second email in this series on biblical prosperity! As I mentioned two weeks ago in Part 1 of this teaching, the remainder of 2013 can be the greatest time yet as you I and step out in faith, obeying God’s principles. And it my prayer that you will be inspired more than ever to do greater things for our wonderful Master, Jesus, and that your heart will be stirred as you see all that your prayers and gifts have accomplished for His mighty name. Biblical Abundance One thing we do know is that prosperity doesn’t happen simply because of luck or chance, but because of obedience to God’s Word. Roman 13:8 tells us, “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” Liberty from debt is the will of God. God desires for us to be free. That is absolutely God’s will for you, and it is possible: “The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow” (Deuteronomy 28:12). It is God’s will to prosper you beyond your wildest imaginations! Obstacles to Prosperity What is holding you back? There are three major fears in both the world and in the Body of Christ: the fear of death, the fear of sickness, and the fear of poverty. All three are massive hindrances, but the destructive fear of poverty is perhaps the most crippling and enslaving. Sadly, there are those who teach that poverty is a blessing. Poverty is not a blessing! Poverty brings slavery and bondage. The Word of God tells us, “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7). Poverty is pure bondage from which we must be delivered. As a believer, you do not have to lack. You are God’s covenant child, and “it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” (Deuteronomy 8:18). Breaking Free from the Fear of Poverty How do we destroy the chains of debt and bondage that enslave us? How do we break free from the fear of poverty? Here are three keys: 1.We must call upon the Lord to deliver us from this crippling fear: “But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33). Freedom from the fear and bondage of poverty begins by listening to and obeying the Lord! To be financially safe and secure with no fear of lack, you and I must be obedient to the voice of the Lord. 2.We cannot trust in money. We must trust in the Lord, for He is our Source. Proverbs 11:28 states, “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.” God promises to prosper the person who obeys Him, loves Him, and trusts Him. 3.We must live righteously: “Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” Blessings, as a result of righteousness, bring prosperity with no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22). The secret to breaking free from the fear of poverty and moving into supernatural prosperity is to live righteously, to obey God. Righteousness and a righteous life put you in line, legally, to prosper. We are taught this principle again and again throughout His Word: The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. —Proverbs 14:11 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. —Proverbs 15:6 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. —Proverbs 22:4 Do not labor to be rich. Labor instead to become righteous, as we are told, “Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom” (Proverbs 23:4). As you obey and honor God, “The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee” (Deuteronomy 28:8). Remember, it’s not luck. It’s pure obedience. Seek Righteousness The true secret to freedom from the fear of poverty is faithfulness to God’s work. That’s what brings abundant prosperity that will never cease, for “A faithful man shall abound with blessings” (Proverbs 28:20). And the Lord promised that as you obey Him, He will give you the wealth of the wicked: “The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just” (Proverbs 13:22). He has so many wonderful things to pour out on you as you obey Him: “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy” (Ecclesiastes 2:26). True riches are God’s gift to you as you obey Him. Obedience includes giving toward the Gospel, and your harvest blessing will be in direct proportion to the seed you plant: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). God is very clear that those who aren’t faithful with what He has placed in their hands will not be blessed: “If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” (Luke 16:11). Together We Can Touch This Generation Thank you for your part in this worldwide ministry. Thank you for your prayers and support that made the recent historic meetings in Indonesia and Singapore possible!

Romans 10:13 declares, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Precious souls cannot believe unless they hear the Gospel. And the Gospel cannot be heard unless someone is sent. Will you send me with your prayers and precious seed? Will you answer that call with me today? Will you give and keep giving so we can reach the lost before it is too late? Today, obey the Lord as He directs you. Sow into His work and prove yourself faithful to Him. Then you will place yourself legally in line to receive the wealth of the sinner! God is doing mighty things! This is your time to prosper and secure your financial future! For we know it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)… Preaching the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the unchanging Word of God, and expecting the mighty and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit,
