"And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased." John 6:2 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food. But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. YOU give them something to eat." Matthew 14:15-16 FIVE LOAVES AND TWO FISHES "And this He said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He would do." John 6:6 The Lord often asks us to go beyond our abilities. Our usual response is to express our limitations, not realizing that Jesus is asking us to place our limited ability in His hand, so He can multiply it. Therefore, concerning these five loaves and two fishes, Jesus said: "Bring them here to Me." Matthew 14:18 Once the limited resources of the disciples were placed in His hands, Jesus multiplied them, and the multitude was fed to the full. A HIGHER REALM OF IDENTIFICATION WITH HIM Several hours later, they were back asking for a repeat performance. Jesus refused and brought a word of correction. He told them to seek their satisfaction on an HIGHER LEVEL. Then Jesus offered His very life for them to partake of: "I am the living bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." John 6:51 They had gladly received the miracle of multiplication on the lower level of experience, but rejected the higher realm of identification with Him. "The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" John 6:52 If we are perceptive, we will discover that this spiritual principle is in operation in our lives at this present time. Whenever the Lord moves on us in any measure of provision or healing, it is His intention to take us further, into a higher realm of identification with Him. Jesus was looking forward to the time when He would stand at the door of our heart, knocking, in order to gain entrance that He might sup with us, and we in turn with Him, in which we partake of His very life and blood. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20 PARTAKING OF HIS LIFE When He fed the multitude on the lower level, they sought to take Him by force to make Him their King. But on the higher level, they rejected Him. Therefore, Jesus stands alone at the door, speaking to whomever will respond (if anyone hears) seeking to infuse us with His everlasting love. Today, all too many Christians are satisfied to remain in the first area of spiritual blessing and provision, and are not seeking to enter into a personal relationship with the Lord, to discover His CALLING on their life. There is a depth in spiritual revelation and understanding into which the Lord desires to bring us, which involves a partaking of His very life (our DESTINY in Christ). This will bring us into an identity with Jesus in the "fellowship of His sufferings," which refers to His (and our) being rejected and misunderstood as we seek to change the way people think, but leads to a depth of satisfaction and fulfillment that only those who partake can understand God's PURPOSE for their life. "That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death." Philippians 3:10 EATING HIS FLESH There are many who will respond when the blessings are flowing, but when it comes time to "eat His flesh," (PARTAKE OF HIS LIFE) they say, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it?" and they disappear. The Lord is speaking of our partaking of the foundational characteristic of His life – that of His ministry and giving His life for another. Many will receive the blessings that He offers, but few will identify with His sufferings. The purpose of this revelation of Jesus to us, as being a person with feelings, is to bring us into the experience of personally knowing Him, that we might be able to identify with Him in the giving of His life to others so that we may partake of the ascended Life in Him and be passionate about discipling others so they will be effective in fruit bearing that remains for His Kingdom In this last hour, the Lord is yet seeking those who are willing to go beyond the surface blessings, to enter into the place of identification with Him in the "fellowship of His sufferings." Here, in intimate, deep communion with Jesus, we will begin to partake of an intercessory identification with Him, in which His life can now be lived and made known through our lives by our discipling others into their Christ identity so they can understand and activate God’s purpose for their life, thereby, being equipped to bring forth the Great Commission.

Psalm 106:2 - "Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can declare all His praise?" God wants us to see that the power of God coming upon people has something more in it than we have yet known. The power to disciple and change the way people think, but you must say, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" (Acts 9:6). If you had the eyes of Jesus, you would see that the harvest is already here (John 4:35). The Holy Spirit wants you for the purpose of manifesting Jesus through you so you will bring forth the Great Commission. In order to soar with the Lord, we need to shift our perspective to apprehending the ascended life in Christ where we lose the self life and, through the love of Jesus, develop a passion to help others move forward in Christ. As our eyes focus on Jesus, then we can discern our Kingdom assignment. It is time to move into the new. We have a book filled with blank pages waiting for us to write our futures and exploits for the Kingdom. Your life can be what God wants it to be – world changing. Those desires He placed inside of you are meant to lead you to your Christ calling! AFFIRMATIONS; I am God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that I should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) I have the God kind of faith. Whatsoever things I desire, when I pray, I believe that I receive them, so I shall have them. (Mark 11:22,24) I preach the word in season and out of season. I reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience others in doctrine. (2 Timothy 4:2) I continually ask, seek, and knock concerning the things God has prepared for me as a spiritual mentor because Jesus says I will receive, find, and it will be opened for me. (Matthew 7:7,8) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Where does Christ dwell? Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Where is Heaven? It’s within you. Think about that! Do you want to go to the throne? Close your eyes and go to the throne of grace. Before you try to get God to take you up or get Heaven to come down, develop a consciousness of Heaven within you. Change your worldview. Start thinking I am carrying Heaven with me when I walk to the coffee shop. I am carrying Heaven with me on the airplane. I am in heavenly places right now. Hallelujah! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

2 Peter 1:10 - "Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall." You shall never fall. The devil's out there 24 hours a day devising ways to make us fall. Jesus is on the throne 24 hours a day giving us power to resist him, and we need to be exercising our faith all the time. If you're going to stand in the days ahead, you're going to need a lot more than Sunday school Laodicean faith. You're going to need some full-grown, mountain-moving faith, and there's only one way to get that: By giving yourself to the Word daily more diligently than you ever have before. Give diligence to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen to bring forth the Great Commission and no matter how slippery the situation gets, you won't have to fall! Hebrews 5:14, 6:1 - "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity." In the letter to the Hebrews, the recipients had long been Christians, who by then ought to have been teaching others. Instead they were still like infants needing to be fed milk (Hebrews 5:12-14). They were to go on to maturity, to the status of spiritual adults, and to more profound truths concerning our right standing with God and the authority and Christ identity given to the believer as a result of Christ's finished work. Yield yourself fully to Christ and find in Him the ascended life in Jesus that will free you from the self life that you must abandon to be a follower of Jesus. Then you will grow in grace and learn to mentor other baby Christians into becoming spiritually mature in advancing the Kingdom. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

God has already "granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness" so that "you may become partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:3-4). The Bible says that we "grow up into salvation" in the same way we should grow to be responsible adults (1 Peter 2:2). Therefore, our experience of the FULLNESS of all that is available in Christ should be growing as well. There are reasons why some grow into "all things" more quickly than others: First, they know that they have nothing without God (see 1 Chronicles 29:14). Second, they are assured in their hearts that "all things" have already been granted to them by God because He wants them to be effective in bringing forth the Great Commission. Third, they have learned how to receive of His increase. TWO GREEK WORDS USED FOR "RECEIVE" "…What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?" - 1 Corinthians 4:7 It is very easy to assume, based on this Scripture, a mentality that whatever God gives us we will automatically and unintentionally receive. However, we must understand what it really means to receive, Biblically. There are two Greek words used in the New Testament which are translated "receive," and yet they have very different implications.l The first word is "dechomai" (dekh'-om-ahee) and the second is "lambano" (lam-bah'-no). PASSIVE vs. ACTIVE AGRESSIVE Receiving: With a little research, we find that "dechomai" speaks of receiving in a passive way. It is a passive verb which indicates receiving in the sense of welcoming and accepting. "Lambano" is a completely different way of receiving and understanding. "Lambano" is an active aggressive verb which indicates receiving INTO ACTION or taking possession through ACTION. "And Simon answered, 'Master, we toiled all night [trying to catch fish] and took [lambano] nothing! But at Your word I will let down the nets.'" - Luke 5:5 "When He [Jesus] was at table with them, He took [lambano] the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them." - Luke 24:30 Fishermen do not expect fish to jump out of the water and directly in into their boat. They know they must "lambano" the fish, taking them into possession through some kind of action -- an present day example would be discipling new Believers into an understanding of their Christ identity so they will be effective in bearing fruit that remians for His advancing Kingdom. DO YOU "LAMBANO"? "For everyone who asks receives [lambano], and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." - Luke 11:10 Perhaps you were led to believe that you should ask of God and then wait for the answer to fall on you at the right time. However, this Scripture says that everyone who asks must take action to receive it. Everyone who asks must "lambano" the answer from God, who is not only willing now but is also waiting for us to do so as we take land for the Kingdom by changing the way people think about their oneness with Jesus. God holds out provision to us, making it available to all who are in Christ. Then He tells us to pray the prayer of faith for it, asking and expecting in agreement with what He's already demonstrated is His will through Christ. Then we must reach out and take what He is offering in order to receive it. God assures us in His Word of His unchanging desire to answer our prayers, and yet He wants us to come asking earnestly, persistently, boldly, and expectantly. Our receiving from God is not meant to be a passive act. God wants to interact with us. There must be action in both His giving and our receiving. If you received Christ as your Savior and the His sacrifice for the forgiveness of all your sins so you are always in righr standing with God, then you do understand how to "lambano". Everything you receive from God comes exactly the same way: by grace through faith – reaching out to take hold of what He is freely offering. INTENTIONAL RECEIVING …What do you have that you did not [lambano]? If then you [lambano] it, why do you boast as if you did not [lambano] it? 1 Corinthians 4:7 In other words, nothing that you've received from God was automatically and unintentionally received into your experience, so why boast as if you don't know why God apparently gave you more favor than anyone else who is in Christ? Instead of boasting, you should teach others how to "lambano" -- and receive favor as they learn to move from glory to glory in their Christ calling while they give rise to forward progress in the Great Commission. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received [lambano] it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 This literally means, "Whatever you ask in prayer, lambano it by faith, and it will be yours." Receive it by taking it! The Biblical act of receiving looks like the intentional action of taking -- reach out, grab it, and pull it in. That's how you receive from God. GOOD STEWARDS OF GRACE "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me." - 1 Corinthians 15:10 It is only by the grace of God that we have anything, and yet it is by the action of faith that we make it ours in experience. The grace of God requires our cooperation in order for it to have its full effect in our lives. The Apostle Paul spoke of this very clearly, even implying that God's grace could have been released and available for him in vain if he had not cooperated with it. In the same way you receive a gift, use it -- 1 Peter 4:10 gives you permission to "lambano" a gift from God with the intention of serving others -- living for the spiritual development of others as you apprehend the ascended life in Christ, abandoning the self life. Doing so makes you a good steward of His fully available and varied grace. When someone needs discipling, you have access to a warehouse full of "all things pertaining to life and godliness" – all available for the taking. A good steward uses what God has entrusted to their care and produces increase from it (see Matthew 25:14-30). This is part of the work that God gives us to do, and by doing it, God is glorified (see John 17:4). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

NOW is the Time to Awaken! We are being called in these turbulent times to contend for change and take an unshakable stand that transforms our culture. It is time for a spiritual revolution. WALK OUT OF PASSIVITY AND LUKEWARMNESS There is a paralyzing passivity so prevalent in the Church today. As prophetic voices, we must sound the alarm: these are not days of peace! We have no armistice with the workers of darkness! We must stir ourselves out of this stupor, as Scripture instructs us to do. We must rouse to reality and awake (Romans 13:11-14 AMP). A non-confrontational attitude is not the role and the responsibility of God's end-time warriors! We must awaken. Now is the time to find God's PURPOSE for your life and the CALLING you were destined to fulfill. "Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you." - Matthew 7:7 AMP Shake yourself and rise to the occasion (Joshua 1:7). You are called to be a history maker, to change the world. These are not empty phrases but powerful prophetic promises. Your DESTINY and the destiny of coming generations demand that we do our very best – now! Indeed, the destinies of nations depend upon our actions. RUN FROM COMPROMISE AND COMPLACENCY! This is no time to enter negotiations with the devil. Never forget that the enemy of your soul would, if he could, utterly destroy and devastate your life, the life of your loved ones, your neighbors and our nation. We must not entertain compromise nor tolerate complacency. On the contrary, we are called to confront the powers of darkness. Rather than remaining passive, complacent or compromised, it is our responsibility to resist the enemy and stand firm (John 10:10). He is a defeated foe – but we nevertheless must rout him out of our lives and nation. Run from cooperating with the enemy! Our response must be the opposite of his evil suggestions. We must exercise our God given dominion over him and his demons through binding and loosing (Matthew 16:19) with all our heart, submitting to the Spirit of God, and then taking action on the vision He has put in our heart. Having done all to stand, we shall stand bold and brave, resisting the devil and all his schemes, knowing full well that greater is God's power within us than the devil's power about us (1 John 4:4). WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS We are fighting from a place of victory! Why? Because our Lord and Savior has already defeated every foe at Calvary! In Christ we are more than conquerors. We are truly, practically, eternally victorious in every arena of life – and are not victims (Romans 8:37). Cast off any "victim" mindset and take hold of the truth spoken by Christ as He gave His life for you: "It is finished!" He fought the war and won – on our behalf. We will stand strong, knowing that as we resist, we are more than victors in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:13-14). What we see withstanding us will not erase from our souls the victory God has promised as we bring forth the Great Commission (Matthew 29:18). Let your heart gain courage from this promise Deuteronomy 31:6: - "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them for the Lord our God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." As you STAND IN FAITH, drawing ever closer to God, living free of the Holy Spirit crucified "self life" through apprehending the Ascended Life in Christ, and resisting the devil by actively going after more revelation and action concerning your calling in Christ, the enemy flees (James 4:7). Through the power of Christ Jesus, we will trample on the evil works of satan (Luke 10:19). As we walk in confidence, knowing our God and depending upon Christ the King, then we will see the promise of Romans 16:20 fulfilled: "…the God of Peace will crush the powers of satan under our feet." ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Break free from everything that hinders the work of His Spirit in your life. Be free from all false expectations, man's expectations, religious expectations; and every expectation that does not come from the hope and expectancy that He gives to you. So you must be emptied of all the things that hold you in the earthly realm, repent, and turn away from those things that break His heart. Set your priorities in order for He is taking you into another realm of your faith walk. His love is reaching to the depth of your being -- this is His being poured out upon you and manifesting in you. This realm is His Kingdom in you; this is dominion, your CALLING in Christ, your place in His Kingdom. So step in, step out of the boat and walk on the water in this New Faith Realm—ONLY BELIEVE and you will receive. Colossians 3:2 - "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." This is a time to be fully aware and fully impassioned for the things of God. Do not let the noise and distraction of the things of the world steal your attention in this critical hour! Set your full affections completely on the things that are above and don't be swayed by anything this world has to offer. When your mind is cluttered with religious mindsets (which often we don't realize), they block the light of revelation. There are spirits attached to strong mindsets, and people become immovable. Prayer: LORD JESUS, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WALKS SILENTLY IN THE INNERMOST SANCTUARY OF MY SOUL. SO CAREFULLY YOU WEAVE YOURSELF INTO THE FIBERS OF MY BEING. TOUCH ME WITH YOUR CLEANSING, RENEWING FIRE. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Matthew 16:24 - "Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Luke 14:27 - "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." Luke 13:3 - "No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." This is a time when we must move into a new dimension of prayer, where we are praying bold prayers based upon God’s covenant with us as we seek to bring forth the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). Believe and His Spirit will make you bold so you will be effective in equipping and sending out other Believers so they will bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom! Watch His fire fall upon your words! Hear the Spirit of the Lord declaring to you today, "Come forth!" -- see in your spirit a sudden surge of God's power. Affirming and meditating that you are the righteousness of God in Christ will cause all the blessing you seek to come after you and overtake you. You are standing at the threshold of God's glory! The Lord Jesus was lifted up on the cross for the sake of giving spiritual life to men; likewise, if we desire to cause people to have spiritual life, we, too, must be lifted up on the cross so that we die to the self life so the Holy Spirit may flow out of us into the lives of others. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Jesus' friends will draw close to His chest to hear His very heart beat. The lifestyle of the believer that is marked with an intimate life with Christ is available to you. Jesus is looking for new recruits who will hear the passionate sound of His love beating through their beings. Do you want to lean your ear His way? Due to circumstances and worldly interaction we develop hiding places behind defensive mindsets that block us from the revelatory voice of God. Obstructions to fellowship and intimacy with the Lover of our souls effectively shield us from the freedom in Christ that the scriptures promise us. These obstructions consist of barriers we hide behind which are: GUILT IS A PHANTOM In order to walk IN THE God kind of faith (Galatians 2:20) you need to understand your Christ identity. You must understand that all your sins have been forgiven -- past, present, and future -- you are never out of right standing with God. There is never any guilt, shame, or condemnation (Romans 8:1,2) to keep you from moving forward in bearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling and moving the Great Commission forward. You are one with Christ (John 17:21) -- lay hands on the sick and expect them to recover -- believe for your miracle NOW! THE ONLOOKER'S BENCH OF FEAR But if we allow ourselves to be held back by the fear of rejection or the fear of authority or the opinions of others, eventually we will become people-pleasers, strangled by the anticipation of their opinions. These are guideposts that tell us that we do not fully understand our Christ identity. If we do not understand our Christ identity then we will never be able to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom and fulfill our calling in Christ. THE STRONGHOLD OF IMPOSED LIMITATIONS A spiritual stronghold is a mindset impregnated with hopelessness that causes us to accept as unchangeable situations that we know are FULLY CHANGEABLE because of the dominion we possess over anything and everything that does not line up with Heaven. TIME ALONE WITH JESUS Jesus longs to hold each one of us in a personal face-to-face encounter. When affirm and meditate on our oneness with Christ, we are enabled into the reality that we are His hands reaching out to a hurting world. Face-to-face is a place where we are enabled to trust God fully and to rely completely as we go throughout the day on meditating on His love flowing through our heart into the lives of others. Time alone with Christ enables us to surrender in adoration to God's purpose for our life. Affirming and meditating on the scriptures that explain our Christ identity prepares us for the world changing adventure Jesus promised us in our Christ calling. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Consider the difference between Christ and all other things -- as thus, all other things are vanities, but Christ is a real, solid substantial, glorious thing; all other things are temporary, fading things, but Christ is an enduring substance. All other things are thorns, vexations of spirit, but Christ is full of joy and comfort, a most ravishing object, all composed of loves, or altogether lovely. All other things, in comparison to Christ, are not worth a look -- they are but as vile things, as under things, as poor and low and mean and base things, in comparison to Christ. (Philippians 3:8) Do you want the deep things of God or the strong food mentioned in scripture? Are you ready for the deep, deep things of God? Are you ready to know God as Mighty God THROUGH your life? ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Ten Ways to Bring the Message Of Salvation 1) ALWAYS carry salvation tracts with you. You never know when you will give one out. Link to FREE tracts!! Also free shipping and handling! 2) Carry New Testaments, with tracts in the first page, every time you take a bus ride. When the bus starts, go up and down the aisle and ask if anyone would like a free New Testament. 3) Print our your testimony and give it along with a tract and/or New Testament. (Many people get saved after hearing what God did for someone else) 4) Go to a local soup kitchen and pass out tracts and bibles. 5) Go to shelters and pass out bibles and sit down and talk with people interested in hearing about God. 6) Go to a local radio station and ask if you can go on air and give your testimony of Jesus and after offer a salvation prayer if anyone wants to give their life to Jesus. 7) Set up a lemonade stand with your children outside. Give away free bibles and tracts. Use any money earned to purchase more bibles. 8) Carry New Testaments and tracts with you in a bookbag and go to the mall food court and ask everyone sitting down if they would like a free bible. 9.) Put New Testaments with tract inside and maybe your testimony into little baggies and go around the neighborhood and put them on doorknobs. (You can also put in an invitation to your church) 10) Put your testimony of Christ on YouTube and do an "alter call" at the end of the video. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"..therefore be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." - 2 Timothy 2:1 God's grace is undeserved, this means that God's goodness is not expressed to each of us because we are good; it is given to us because He is good! Sometimes it's hard to even wrap our minds around this fact. This is because most of us have, in reality, believed that grace is based upon performance and our religious works. However, receiving grace from God has absolutely nothing to do with our performance at all; it is completely based upon undeserved favor. If God's favor were based upon our ability to do right and perform well, then we would not need His grace. We would then believe that because of our own abilities we have been blessed. This is such a deceptive lie of the enemy. He does not desire that we embrace the revelation of God's grace. BONDAGE IN FEELING PERFORMANCE-ORIENTED "And if by grace, then it is no longer of works: otherwise grace is not longer grace." - Romans 11:6a There is bondage in feeling as if you are continually "missing the mark." Performance-oriented people experience difficulty resting in God, which is linked to God's grace. We can spend many years believing that God is disappointed in us if we didn't quite measure up to His standards. We can also be deceived into believing that God's blessings are linked to how well we perform – as if His blessings were dependent upon our "good behavior" or "religious performance." This false belief sets us up for even more failure and disappointment. It becomes cyclical. If we are ashamed, there is no confidence to boldly run to Him for grace and empowerment to transform. Shame and guilt robs us of our confidence to run boldly into God's arms – in fact, it causes us to run away from Him! God knows we will never be perfect. He does not desire perfection due to our own strength for that would be "deserved favor." Grace is undeserved favor. The Lord desires for us to know that He is daily perfecting us through His divine grace. To believe that "it is up to us and our own ability to become transformed" is to believe that "the finished work at the Cross was not effective". Jesus Himself was perfect and, therefore, we are blessed and empowered to live holy through Him. "through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." - Romans 5:2 Many of us have been blinded concerning how to receive God's blessings. The Accuser of the Brethren has lied to us and said that God's blessings are based upon "works" rather than simply because God loves us. Remember God IS love! You cannot separate God from love. Jesus says to abide in Him. The love of Jesus flows into our heart as we meditate on it throughout the day. He blesses us simply because we are one with Him in His love. WALKING IN THE SUPERNATURAL AND DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE "Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably…" - Hebrews 12:28 Many might ask what the connection is between grace and the supernatural. We can't walk in the supernatural without His grace! Our faith needs to rest upon Jesus and the price He paid for the sick to be healed, the poor to be blessed, people to be set free, etc. If we focus on Jesus and His ability to heal the sick many of us would experience more miracles. Because we haven't seen the miracles for which we cry out, many times we feel that we didn't "perform" well and, as a result, we will shrink back from stepping out and praying for the sick or for demons to flee, etc. When Jesus came to earth, He brought Heaven with Him. He came so that He could live in us – we became the Tabernacle for the Spirit of God. It is His ability in us that will empower us to experience more of the supernatural. "To them God has chose to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." - Colossians 1:27 RIGHTEOUSNESS "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21) Paul said in Galatians 2:20-21 (KJV), "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." HOW DO WE WALK IN GOD'S FAITH? In order to walk by this kind of faith you need to understand your Christ identity. You must understand that all your sins have been forgiven -- past, present, and future -- you are never out of right standing with God. There is never any guilt, shame, or condemnation (Romans 8:1,2) to keep you from moving forward in bearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling, bringing forth the Great Commission. You are one with Christ (John 17:21) -- lay hands on the sick and expect them to recover -- believe for your miracle NOW! When the word "righteousness is mentioned," many people immediately think that it involves more performance and perfect behavior – a list of "do's and don'ts" from God. Righteousness under the New Covenant is OUR RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD and is a gift from God and cannot be earned! (See Romans 5:17). Be assured that you are living through Jesus’ righteousness -- not your own. His Spirit lives in you and, therefore, you are qualified to walk in the supernatural! We need to step out and do it! ACHIEVE YOUR FUTURE The Accuser of the Brethren came against many in the Bible who God used mightily. The Bible is full of stories about people who were living in ordinary circumstances and empowered to do the impossible. God sees much in you! He desires for you to boldly run to His throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) right now to receive a fresh empowerment to achieve His PURPOSE for your life (your DESTINY in Christ). Don't allow past shame or guilt to hold you back any longer. The Lord desires to release His blessings to you today. Receive it; believe it and it is yours! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Those, who desire to learn to live in the spirit before God, must first come to understand their Christ identity and then find their Christ calling. If our natural mind and emotions are not dealt with (dying to self-interest and the world), we can hardly live a life in the spirit. Many brothers and sisters in Christ make no spiritual progress before the Lord. All they have is mental knowledge; there is no understanding of thier oneness with Christ. If prayer is always centered on self, on our personal problems and our small gain or loss, where is the way for the eternal purpose of God to get through? Ephesians 3:20 – “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Out of the box thinking realizes there is no box. You are the limitless PURPOSE and MANIFESTATION of God’s glory, released into the earth with the same anointing, mission, and message Jesus had over 2,000 years ago. You now live beyond the dimension of needing your needs met, and you live in that kingdom dimension of being the conduit of blessing for others. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Release your roar of faith and decree. Let your words and song of faith arise. He is the God of angel armies and He will release His angel armies to bring to pass His word and will concerning your Christ calling. . Worship Him in the time of waiting. Praise Him in advance for the harvest of the promise that is coming. You are called to become bold, passionate, and powerful -- part of the end-time army that confronts compromise and raises the standard higher. Keep praying, keep steadfast, and keep contending -- be audacious! be strong! Stand courageous! Stand firm – you are a warrior of faith. Your hour of intervention and harvest is near. He will show Himself strong on your behalf because you are devoted to Him. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

It is TIME for you to get your expectation back. This season is going to be a time for your mouth to declare what you have seen and heard in the spirit. Make sure that your words line up to His Word! You cannot waste any more time coming into agreement with the enemy, speaking out what you see in the natural. Some Believers are so "battle-worn" that they have started expecting bad things to happen to them. They have even accepted that this has become their lot in life. Don't believe the lies of the enemy. God is calling you to shift your focus and start expecting Him to move for you. Your circumstances may be mocking your promise right now but get ready for God to shift gears and bring acceleration to what He has spoken. You may be saying -- I am experiencing loss. People are walking out of my life, not into it. Financial resources have dried up, and I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel." If that is the case, "HOLD ON!" Your God is pruning you in order to bring forth a greater harvest. All expansion begins with loss. You need to realize that which has been lost or taken away from you was deemed by God as non-essential, and it may have even been a determent to progress you into God's purpose for your life. It was simply God removing dead debris, and if it had stayed, it would have hindered you from moving forward into the great fruitfulness God has promised you. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

There is about to be a "bursting forth of His Spirit" like a flood, like a flood of rushing rivers and every restraining factor – whether it be religion or tradition, or the Antichrist cultures of our day – and these things will bend and fold under the power and force of this breakout! How will this break out? It will break out of the Believers who are walking in their CALLING IN CHRIST and putting God first in discipling other Believers by equipping them and sending them out to bring forth the Great Commission! For doesn't His Word say that out of our hearts will flow rivers of living water (John 7:38)? Decree over yourself Isaiah 61 in this season -- for you are about to see the Spirit of the Lord breakout through you like a rushing river. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

A non-confrontational attitude is not the role of God's end-time warriors! Challenge, convict, and put a demand on people. Challenge the antichrist spirit in the church -- bring deliverance from demonic oppression and the Laodicean mindset that is presently vexing the church. As one of today's forerunners, you will navigate through some troubled murkey waters -- you will help the forgotten ones work through hardships -- breaking them out of old patterns to move forward into the great possibilities of the day -- and give them a hunger and thirst to pursue their calling in Christ You are called to become the bold, passionate, and powerful -- part of the end-time army that confronts compromise and raises the standard higher. Keep praying, keep steadfast, and keep contending -- be audacious! be strong! Stand courageous! This is not the time to retreat or to take a backseat. No, this is the time for Christ in you to roar!!
