2 Corinthians 3:8 - "How will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?" We live, we move, we reign over all things. "You greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory…" (1 Peter 1:8). "I delight to do Your will, O my God" (Psalm 40:8). In our hearts there is exceeding glory. When you lose your heart and Another takes your heart, and you lose your desires and He takes the desires, then you live in that sunshine of bliss that no mortal can ever touch. Divine immortality swallows up all natural mortality. It is exquisite to walk in the Spirit -- rejoice inwardly, praise God reverently, and know that you are an increasing force of immortality advancing His Kingdom. 2 Timothy 1:11,12 - "And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things…" The reason Paul was never defeated by satan's attacks is that he had made a decision. He decided he would not stop or give up until he had apprehended that for which Christ Jesus had apprehended him (Philippians 3:12). Likewise the only way you'll be able to resist the devil's attacks and successfully achieve your calling in Christ is by determining never to stop until you have accomplished your divine assignment. Jesus taught that those who "endure to the end" are the ones who will receive the prize (Matthew 24:13). For power to be effective, it must work in a committed person. If you make the decision to stay in faith and "face-off" with the power of God at your side, you can do exactly what God called you to do.

Gideon was addressed as "mighty man of valor." Mary as "highly favored one." It is not a coincidence that God called them by such terms not after they completed their purpose, but before. This is how they were addressed from the outset then God called them to step into the appointed time of their destiny. You have a Messenger of Courage within you, a Helper, the Spirit of Truth, and He is calling to you like He did Gideon and Mary, already addressing you as beloved and a victor, not just hopeful of such. He wants to visit you, meet you, and call to the courage He already sees within you. He wants you to see yourself as He does -- carrying out your Christ calling) -- and He is imparting to you the courage necessary to leap out and seize the moment that is only just beyond your reach. He is calling you "Mighty" or "Favored" to remind you of your Christ identity. Now that you know who you are, you know what to do next. 1 John 2:20 - "But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge." Acts 26:24-25 - "Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, 'Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!' But he (Paul) said, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason." The words "beside yourself" mean to rave as a maniac, and it's the idea of incessant craving. Festus accused Paul of being crazy. Modern culture is not drawn to Christianity because the little they are exposed to is not extreme enough for them. What the world really wants to see is a Christian (YOU) who is totally enthralled with who Jesus is. Your spiritual learning shouldn't be just systematic theology books, but a distinguishable, crazy love that goes public.

We Believers have generally been too focused on and conscious of the imperfections of our lives. Repenting from our sins head-on is important and vital, but there is a whole other glorious side to our relationship with God that goes unrecognized by many. WE ARE CO-HEIRS CONFESSING CHRIST When we catch a glimpse of this new identity we have in Jesus Christ, we see sin to be the boring, useless, and stupid thing it really is and we turn more easily away from it. This other side has to do with the rich inheritance that we share in with Jesus Christ as co-heirs (see Romans 8:17; Ephesians 1:7, 11). We need to spend much more time confessing, not our sins, but who we are in Christ according to the teachings of the apostles. "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23). We must not allow our past but rather our new Christ identity and our DESTINY to define us! We are sons and daughters of a great King and His Blood is flowing in our veins. Unless we enter into our eternal identities, we will not become instruments for noble purposes. We will not enter into a holiness from Heaven. We will not be useful to God. WE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM Our outlook on life is changed as we contemplate: "And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:10) "You are complete," which means we lack nothing at all, in our oneness in Him (John 17:21). Abiding in Christ and allowing Him to flow freely out of us enables us to function with the greatest degree of success, thus making us available to implement our Christ calling, bearing fruit that remains for God's Kingdom. Luke 6:7-8 "And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth." Jesus says “rise up”. Rise up is the root word for RESURRECTION. We need to get up higher than our current perception. We need to come to a place where we are looking at things from a more inspired viewpoint. Resurrection is a life on a brand new dimension. It does not matter what my current reality is. It simply becomes the occasion for God’s power to be manifested in the midst of impossibility. Jesus tells me to rise up! We hear His voice and the promises He gives us in the scriptures. Ephesians 5:14-17 -- "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead! And Christ will shine on you. So pay close attention to how you live. Don't live like ignorant men, but like wise men. Make the most of the time….try to find out what the Lord wants you to do." Our heavenly Father will respond and answer us as we seek to move from hopelessness to hope. We don't deny the problems of our past, but we simply come to see how good and great He is and how great is our salvation! New avenues of intimacy with the Trinity will open to us as we access the ascended life in Christ, abandoning the self-life in favor of self sacrifice for discipling the spiritual lives of others. A BRAND NEW THING Isaiah 43:19 - "Nothing compares to what I'm going to do with you says the Lord! Behold, I am going to do a brand new thing with you personally. See, I've already begun to do it. Don't you see it?" In the land of New Beginnings, we must remove the masks and veils that have formed in the past season so we can now form our “true” vision for the future. Isaiah 41:15 ("Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff.") has become a keyword for us. There is authority and dominion for us in the invisible world. This will allow us to display the wisdom of God to the powers and principalities that have blocked you in past seasons. Jeremiah 15:19 - "If you return, then I will restore you - Before Me you will stand; and if you extract the precious from the worthless, you will become My spokesman." In 2025 as we allow the Holy Spirit to move through us, we will be constantly searching for those whose lives are formless and void. We will become a bridge for them into the glorious, creative purposes of God. OUR INDIVIDUAL DESTINY Our unique inheritance in Christ includes many facets, such as our individual DESTINES, or that which God is longing to accomplish through each life for His glory. God offers us supernatural ability and power to fulfill our DESTINIES and His plans for us with limitless resources. "Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work," says the Lord. - Jeremiah 1:5 We must constantly ask, knock, and seek to understand our Christ calling and carry out what God wants us to bring forth in His Kingdom. (Matthew 7:7) We are called to succeed in advancing the Kingdom of God on earth -- to walk in overcoming victory: "…because as He is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). The awe of God is returning to believers (to fulfill God's PURPOSE for their life), filling their hearts with great expectation (Isaiah 64:1). Expect to behold great and mighty things to be accomplished (Jeremiah 33:3) so that the Great Commission can usher in the Kingdom of God to displace the Kingdom of darkness. Matthew 7:8 -- "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened."

The tendency to embrace the concept of God being an angry Father is done in equal proportion to a person's inability to demonstrate His power. There is a connection between our belief system and what actually flows through us. If we don't see Jesus' life as the ultimate illustration of the will of God, we will continually undermine our ability to display it. The Holy Spirit always wants to demonstrate what God says. God confirmed the word with signs following (Mark 16:20). In Hebrews 2:3-4 it says, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?" Having come to understand our Christ identity, we know for sure that God wants to do signs and wonders and confirm His own word because scripture says so. Some Christians think is it so spiritual to say, "I don't need signs and wonders." Jesus actually relied on signs and wonders and manifestations. He went out of the way to make sure the Holy Spirit had an occasion to demonstrate the words He spoke. Jesus said, "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35) and fed the 5,000. He said, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25) and He raised the dead. He said, "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) and He opened the eyes of the blind. God always wants to do what He says. The Apostle Paul said, "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" (1 Corinthians 2:4). The indwelling Holy Spirit enables us to bear more of the revelation of Jesus than was possible for the original twelve disciples. GOD IS TALKING -- TAKE NOTE AND LISTEN One of the essential gestures of faith is to live with the expectation that the God who said that His sheep hear His voice and who gave His life to restore relationship with each of us would like to communicate with us. This faith leads us to lean into His voice. "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening." - 1 Samuel 3:9 The heart of abiding faith "leans into God," anticipating His voice, looking for our next assignment with regards to our Christ calling manifesting in bruinging forth the Great Commission. Like Jesus, we are to be able to say, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me." (John 4:34) God talks to us in various ways. He talks through the Bible which contains the Word of God, and He talks to us through the Holy Spirit who brings us life. The Holy Spirit was given the task of not simply revealing all that Jesus possesses, but to actually "disclose" it to us. Every declared promise is a transfer of heavenly resources that enable us to fulfill the purpose of God for our life. THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Rev. 19:10) - This says that if God has done it once, He is ready to do it again. The spoken or written record of whatever Jesus has done carries the prophetic anointing to cause a change in events in the spirit realm so that the miracle spoken of can happen again. Meditating on the promises of God is something we can do in order to determine where we're going in life. When we DECLARE the Word over our own life and prophesy our own DESTINY in agreement with Him, we release the anointing of the Spirit in a greater measure to bring the Word to pass. "…you shall meditate on it day and night….for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." - Joshua 1: ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

John 1:12 - "But as many as received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." We need to stop laying claim to our family's genetic problems, inheritable sicknesses, dysfunctional behavior, disorders, hang-ups, curses, or any other negative thing that was a part of our life before Christ. That old person no longer exists. "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away behold all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). The Greek word for "new" describes something that is brand new or recently made. It also carries the idea of something that is superior. John 1:12 reveals that you received divine power the day you became a child of God. The Greek word for "power" describes a power that is explosive, dynamic, and full of phenomenal ability. That is the kind of power that came to live inside you the day you received Jesus Christ as your Savior! Matthew 19:16 - "And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" The rich young ruler first, acknowledged Jesus as good, but not as God. This is the reason that Jesus responded to His request the way He did. Jesus was saying, "God is the only one who is good. You must accept me as God or not at all." Second, he asked what he could do to produce salvation. He trusted in himself and believed he could accomplish whatever good work Jesus might request. This rich young ruler wasn't looking for a Savior. He was trying to be his own savior. This is the reason Jesus referred him back to the commandments. He either had to keep them perfectly or he needed a savior. Jesus desired to turn this man from trusting in himself by showing him God's perfect standard, which no one could keep, so that then he would trust in a Savior.

Hebrews 4:12 - "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart." The heart (the vault and warehouse of God’s love) that will but yield itself to be searched by God's Word -- is to have its secret thoughts and intents discerned and judged by it -- through repentance, will be freed from its erring and unbelief. The reason the Word of God is not powerful in you is that it has not become "quick" to you yet. The Word is not alive to you -- it is not living and abiding in you, so no power is produced. You need power in your Christ calling to: Change the way people think about their salvation, Battle the forces of darkness, Bring forth the Great Commission How does the word become "quick," or alive in your life? -- by you abiding in it (affirmation, meditation, and visualizing yourself in the Word). Then according to Hebrews 4:12, after it becomes alive, it becomes powerful in your life! Your mind and your body aren't going to pay any attention to the Word until you get the Word into your spirit (dividing asunder of soul and spirit). John 6:63 - "The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

As followers of Christ, we are not immune from the difficulties of life. Scripture clearly declares that "all that will live godly in this present world shall suffer difficulty" (2 Timothy 3:12). Nevertheless, in the midst of troubles, God always provides a way of escape. The escape, however, is neither the absence of adversity nor the final end of problems. The escape is not a path toward a problem-free life; the "escape" is the company and help of a Person in the midst of our troubles, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who will be in us "in the valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4). When our heart is broken and our dreams are shattered – when we face devastation beyond our strength or understanding – we have the blessed assurance of Christ's abiding presence within us (Psalm 34:18). His Presence and precious promises alone offer peace and joy in the midst of chaos and disappointment. If we're facing financial difficulties, for example, we can experience peace and joy! -- Christ is in us, offering His promise of provision (Philippians 4:19). If we're facing a serious doctor's report, we can experience peace and joy -- Christ is in us, offering His promise of healing (Exodus 15:26). The promise of Hebrews 13:5-6 releases confidence and courage to face every trial: "For God Himself has said, 'I will never, never let go your hand: I will never, never forsake you." So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid: what can man do to me?'" "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." - Isaiah 43:2 Here are some steps to follow when you feel the storms of life swirling around you and your loved ones and your peace and joy are beginning to wane (Psalm 27:13). You can and will overcome in the midst of life's difficulties (Romans 8:37): NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR The only right response is to choose to turn to God and believe His Word (affirming and meditating on the scriptures that will set you free and seeing the end result God is bringing to pass). Only then will you enjoy His Presence, experience true peace and overcome adversity (Isaiah 41:10). Nothing in Heaven or on earth can prevent us from experiencing His love: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" The answer is no one and nothing can separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35)! Scripture also reminds us that, "In Your presence [is] fullness of joy; At Your right hand [are] pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11). In God's Presence is everything we need to overcome in every situation (Psalm 46:1). REJOICE AT MIDNIGHT What, then, is our responsibility during times of difficulty? Our job is not to muster up the victory ourselves but to believe and declare God's goodness (through affirming and meditating on His word that applies to your problem) and then wait with expectancy to see how He intervenes. And surely our faith-filled rejoicing will get people's attention! Rejoicing in adversity is likely to cause a commotion in Heaven and on earth (Acts 16:23-40) and brings glory to God. REBUKE FEAR "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). Be aggressive with fear: do not allow that evil foe to gain one inch of ground in your soul! Instead, take up the promises of God and fight. Never give up and never agree with your adversary. You are not destined to fear and fail but to trust and triumph, because "greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). GUARD YOU MIND AND HEART Remember: as we think in our heart, so will our life be. We must guard our mind and heart with great vigilance (Proverbs 23:7). We must learn to stay firmly focused upon the promises of God (Isaiah 26:3). This practice alone will assure abiding peace. Apprehend the ascended life by discipling a new Believer into an understanding of their Christ identity, thereby crucifying self. Together with bringing about fruit that remains (equipping those you are disciping) for God's advancing Kingdom, we must cast down the enemy's thoughts, "destroying speculations and every lofty thing that raised up against the knowledge of God…taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ…" (2 Corinthians 10:5). ENCOURAGE YOURSELF Scripture is filled with encouraging passages revealing God's plan of victory for us. Consider Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." And in Jeremiah 31:17, we discover that God's plans for us are filled with the bright hope that we will bring forth the Great Commission: "There is hope in your future says the Lord…" "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man: that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and ground in love." - Ephesians 3:16,17 We can stay the course because of the enabling of the strength of the Lord in us! We are strengthened deep within so that we stand firm for the promises of the Lord for our life. We lean into the Lord with deep courage to believe for the impossible to be possible. "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13,14 Through Him, peace is established deep within us, causing us to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He will lead us and guide us. He will lead us down the paths of daily living that increases our passion to help and equip others in their spiritual lives. It comes only through a relationship with the Lord, who will lead us and bring to pass all that He has ORDAINED for us through our Christ calling.

Job 5:19 - "He shall deliver you in six troubles, yes, in seven no evil shall touch you." God will deliver you from all your troubles. (Psalm 34:19, 2 Timothy 4:18). When trouble comes, God does not want you to be discouraged. He wants you to know that it is only the devil trying to steal His Word from your heart. He will do so by telling you, "Look, your child is sick, Where is God now?" You must not respond by saying, "Well, I guess it does not work. Mabe God's promises of deliverance are not for my family." No, you must continue to stand on God's promises -- believing His promises of deliverance because His Word is true. God is watching over you. Keep standing on His promises until you come to the place where no evil will touch you! 2 Corinthians 3:6 - "The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." People who are spiritual can only be fed with spiritual food. Jesus says He does not speak or act of Himself: "The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works." (John 14:10). Hunger for life in the Holy Spirit immerses us into an intensity of zeal, into a likeness to Jesus; it makes us into pure, liquid metal so hot for God that it travels like oil from vessel to vessel, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom. This divine life of the Spirit which posesses the ascended life, living for the spiritual lives of others -- free from self which is tied to the world, will let us see that we have begun to bring forth the Great Commission. We may be filled with the letter without being filled with the Spirit. We may be filled with knowledge without having divine knowledge. And we may be filled with wonderful natural things and still remain natural men. We must live in the Spirit, and be growing in the life and works of Jesus, "in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2), always beholding the face of the Master, Jesus (Matthew 18:10). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

"So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground" (1 Samuel 3:19). Our purpose in Christ is so uniquely God-given and specially placed. If not one of Samuel's words fell to the ground, then why should any purpose of any of God's children ever fall to the ground? That's why we must dream! You have a unique purpose within you that no one else has. You have value simply because of who you are to the Father. His love for you is unconditional, and He believes in you. He is calling you into your unique and special purpose. It's time to speak forth the dreams that are in you. It's time to walk with Him with childlike trust, live your dreams and see God's purpose for your life come to life. Not one purpose God has put within you will fall to the ground. It's time to dream -- the dreams that will unveil your purpose to those in the world who need it the most. Imagine being instrumental in restoring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth because you lived your purpose and dream! Hope breathes through those who choose to be awakened. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

…I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be….forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead." - Philippians 3:12,13 (Living Bible) Paul, the apostle, instructed us to walk purposefully toward one true goal (the DESTINY He has put in our spirit). This is not a time to wander around the mountain of defeat and unbelief -- we are to lay hold of the promises of God, take Him at His word, and stand firm in faith. Rather than just being content to sit and hear, we become activators of the Word. God has destined us to walk in His PURPOSE for our life. We are victors, not victims. We never forget that God has promised that no weapon formed against us can prosper (Isaiah 54:17). WE ARE CALLED TO MAKE A SHIFT Sometimes God calls to make a shift -- a shift in our thinking; a shift in our intercession; a shift in our prophetic declarations; a shift in our expectation. So how do we make this shift? It begins with aligning ourselves with the voice of Heaven and Jesus' finished work on the cross. Too often, Christians begin to harmonize with a theology that displaces the power and work of the Cross. This is the message of the Gospel that we carry -- disciple the nations, heal the sick, set free the oppressed, preach the Gospel, bring in the harvest. If your theology has you in the crosshairs of judgment, today is the day for a shift in your thinking. REPENTANCE -- CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK The enemy wants to steal our calling in Christ, our faith, and our lives! But do not give place to His evil words. Determine now to repent for believing His lies. Repentance does not mean that it is needed because God is upset, mad, or angry because of our doubt and unbelief -- to repent means to simply change the way we think (about God, advancing His Kingdom, His purpose for our life, and even ourselves concerning our Christ identity). Therefore, if you have believed opposite of what God says about you, CHANGE the way you think about yourself. Also, if you have believed opposite of all God declares concerning His love, provision, protection, favor, etc., simply CHANGE the way you think about Him. This will empower you with great faith and hope for your future. TAKING POSSESSION It is time to step into the season of favor that came when Jesus took His seat triumphant on the Throne (2 Corinthians 6:2). It is time to go up and take possession of our inheritance. It is time to aggressively take hold of God's promises (through affirmation, meditation, and visualizing yourself in the promises) and press into the tipping point for His glory to pour out into our lives and the lives of the others who God has given us to DISCIPLE into an understanding of their Christ identity, right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit. Only then, will the Great Commission move forward, thereby displacing the Kingdom of Darkness with the Kingdom of Heaven. Get in harmony with Heaven and turn around, overturn, reverse and make a shift! You carry the heart of a lion. You are made fearless in His image. You are created for an extraordinary life. Pray and soak in His plans for you. Prepare your heart to shift with courage and steadfastness -- He empowers you and "carries you" into the NEW. Take hold of your future.

"I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well…" (1 Tim 1:18) Many Believers are struggling to gain clear direction. Confusion has hindered many and vision regarding brearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom through your Christ Calling has been affected as the intense warfare had taken all their strength to survive and consumed their vision, making it difficult to see beyond what was immediately in front of them. Get out your promises and use them as the weapons they are! Speak them out. Pray them out. Dream and re-envision them. Recall and remember. Decree them. Imagine them manifest. See them fulfilled. Stir up faith in your own heart by remembering them. Let them inspire you, move you, fire you up afresh. Ask God for strategy, ideas, and creative blueprints. Ask for wisdom and revelation. Find your words God has spoken and pray over them again. Decree them and fight the battle well! They are yours to fight with in this very season. Take out your promises and use them as effective weapons against the enemy onslaught. Breakthrough is in the glory realm. Let's empower the glory realm by decreeing what God has already said. Start now. Pull out your promises and speak forth breakthrough. Your breakthrough isn't further away than ever, it's closer than ever. Speak truth to the lies! Look beyond the smoke of the enemy. Speak forth what God has said. The glory realm is in your midst and so is your breakthrough. Speak forth your promises to move forth the Great Commission forward!

Life can get busy and noisy! In 2025 this is the world that we live in, the world we get used to. How we deal with the busyness and noise makes all the difference in how we are able to walk with awareness of God's presence. Luke 8:14-15 - "And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience." Busyness comes in the form of our work, trying to meet our needs and wants, and sometimes just by filling in space to keep from getting bored. Busyness can be a form of noise as well. Noise is that which keeps your head filled with all forms of activity. You have your own busy thoughts, then you have your family's thoughts, then your extended family, then your boss's and co-worker's stuff as well as everything else you can think of. SET YOUR SIGHTS ON GOD With noise the enemy of your soul attempts to keep you distracted from what really matters in life -- seeking and pursuing your calling in Christ. When a person becomes extremely self-focused, they are filled with noise. This is where everything begins to revolve around them. Those who have their minds on the things of the Spirit will lift their sights toward God and their spiritual service to others (the ascended life). We need to make a habit of getting quiet before God, still all the noise of voices and the soul. Our society is geared to be noisy with busyness as the gauge of whether you are accomplishing anything. We need to be committed to just "soak" in God's presence. God has a much better plan for our lives than busyness and noise. It is true that God has work for us to do -- advancing and bearing fruit for His Kingdom. As a matter of fact, Jesus is and was always working. John 5:17 - "But Jesus answered them, 'My Father is working until now, and I am working.'" THE FATHER'S BUSINESS The way Jesus found and approached the work the Father gave Him was always directed, inspired, and motivated by the Father's heart. He was busy doing His Father's business (see Luke 2:49). There is a vast difference between the business that is saturated with the spirit of this world versus that which is directed and anointed of the Holy Spirit. We are in the world, but not of it. That means we may be about doing some of the same kinds of work that others are engaged in, but we have a different source of strength, peace, motivation, and inspiration. Because of this, the work that we are engaged in has the blessing and favor of God upon it. God has given us a privileged communion with Him where all of our steps are ordered by Him. Because of this, we no longer walk according to the multitude of voices, but rather His voice alone. This eliminates the unneeded busyness that has not been meant for our lives. By confessing and meditating on the Christ identity scriptures and promises to the believer in God's word we receive the revelation of BREAKTHROUGH out of our old mind-sets. THE FINISHER OF OUR FAITH His yoke is easy and His burden is light (see Matthew 11:30). We are liberated from the noise of this world as we walk by the one voice of His Spirit. When we become focused on His desire (God's PURPOSE for our life), we lose focus of self. It no longer is about us, but about what He desires in regards to our lives. Seeking to fix ourselves never fixes anything but only makes it worse because we are trying to fix things from an inferior place in our own strength without his guidance. Hebrews 12:1,2 - "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." As our focus is on Him and discipling others we make progress being transformed into His image. So not only does God get all of our attention, He makes things right in our lives as we set our sights upon Him and doing the things He has CALLED us to that will bring forth the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Many let Him be the Author (i.e. they start right) but don't allow Him to be the Finisher. Let Him take your life from beginning to end. He will make all things good in your life! Mark 1:35 - "And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed." As we let God order and inspire our thoughts -- one at a time throughout the day with His peace, we enjoy our days with Him! We do our very best each day to find time to spend alone with God (see Luke 11:42). It is in those times that we discover the DESTINY that He has for us. Can you feel the depth of God’s heart calling to you in this season? Can you feel the depth of your spirit desiring Him more than your next breath? Launch out , and launch into Him. It is in this place that your wilderness becomes a fruitful field. Expect faith upon faith to rise up! Expect advancement from strength-to-strength! Expect to go from glory-to-glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom through his CALLING on your life.

Hell is not full of people that God rejected, it is full of people who rejected God. (unknown)

Luke 12:35: "Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning." "Dressed" implies walking IN the fullness of your Christ calling and anointing, and being ready for action as God directs. In 2025 there is need to act and respond quickly, so your "lamp" must be filled and ready to burn. God's calling His Bride out of "luke-warmness" and into BURNING for Him. He is inviting you into a new dimension of passionate, contagious, radical pursuit of moving His Great Commission forward -- being "dressed ready for service!" A new passion for "serving" will arise that is marked with burning for Jesus, and a new understanding of the flow of the LOVE of Jesus out your heart into the lives of others you are discipling into a higher apprehension of their Christ identity. The Secret Place prepares you for suddenlies. So, steward God's words to you now, and lean into an authentic heart connection. Whatever the Lord has been speaking to you about, obey NOW as it is positioning you for the next step. Breakthrough takes persistence to push past bumps and seeming setbacks. These "bumps" you are experiencing are a normal part of breaking into greater breakthrough. God is imparting what you need as you proceed. Be encouraged. Keep persisting. Anointing for breakthrough is being released to pioneer as you wait on Him, and then step out -- burning ones who are moving His Kingdom forward by changing the way people think about their Christ calling.

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS Going back 100 years to 1925 and taking the number of born again Christians in the earth and dividing them by the earth's population in 1925, you get a number. If you take the number of born again Christians TODAY and divide them by the earths population today, you get a number. Comparing the two numbers which do you think would be higher? Anyone who follows trends in Christianity would have to admit that the 1925 number would be higher. Conclusion: God's Kingdom in the earth with respect to the earth's population is not advancing -- The Great Commission is not being brought forth. Christianity as we know it today is failing. Matthew 5:13,14,16 -- "You are the salt of the earth……You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." The entire world is poised for swift, radical change. It is imperative that the Church embrace and fully receive a bold anointing once they become conscious of their Christ identity. This anointing will aid us in formulating preparations for influencing our culture. We are to be catalysts of extreme changes. We are to function as salt and light to a sin-darkened world. HEAVEN IS DECLARING "AWAKE, AWAKE!" This is not a time for passive, non-committed Christianity. We are called to become the bold, passionate, and powerful end-time army that confronts compromise and raises the standard ever higher. We are in a time of swift advancement and acceleration. The Spirit of God sets things in order, bringing about divine purpose -- standing ready to move, aiding all who seek to establish the King in His Kingdom (see Hebrews 1:14). The Spirit of the Lord is calling for the Lord's army to arise, taking hold of the Kingdom with true spiritual power and force. Remember, the Lord stated that forceful saints would take the Kingdom of Heaven. "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force" (Matthew 11:12 NASB). It is not by might or by our human spirits, but only by the Spirit of the Lord. The Scripture declares it: "Then He said to me: 'This is the word of the LORD saying, "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the LORD of hosts'" (Zechariah 4:6 NASB). The disciples did not just pray and sit around waiting for God to enter the "playing field" to convert the world on His own. They went out into the world so that the Holy Spirit might go into the World. "The Lord worked with them." - Mark 16:20 We are mighty, not in our own strength, but in the Lord's power and might. It is only by the power of God's Spirit that we are enabled to overcome the schemes of the enemy. Truly we are called into the Kingdom of God for such a time as this. BOLD, BRAVE, AND EXTREMELY COURAGEOUS Since the moment we first came to Christ, there has been an updraft of the Holy Spirit, a constant drawing from God lifting us upward toward the fullness of His Presence. Let's surrender to this wind of God and allow Him to carry us into our holy future (our DESTINY). Not only has Almighty God called us to be brave and courageous, but He has also commissioned us for these important days. We need to be prepared for conquest that brings about a swift and sure change so the Great Commission can move forward. God's plan for His people is the plan of victory, not defeat (see Jeremiah 29:11). We are called and commissioned to be overcomers (see Romans 8:37). Though this may seem intimidating to some, the reality is that deep within the soul of every true Christian beats the heart of an overcomer. The word overcomer suggests a victory after a hard struggle. We are to be strong and willing warriors. WORLD – CHANGERS We are a part of a people God has produced to penetrate the veil of the ordinary. We are a golden, holy storehouse of God's potential. We have the life in us to liberate literally the entire world. Many people in the "church culture" of today are awakening with the increased perception of the importance of born-again Believers discipling new Believers into an understanding of their Christ identity, right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit so they can utilize their role in the Great Commission. . We are to become history-makers and world-changers. God has determined the exact time of our births. Truly, each one of us is in the Kingdom for such a time as this (see Esther 4:14). We were placed on earth for a special assignment (our CALLING in Christ). (Ephesians 2:10). For Christians to endure and prevail in the battles of life, more than anything else, we must ask, knock, and seek until we understand and implement God's PURPOSE for our lives. This allows us to soar high above any of the conditions or problems of this world. This is how Paul and Silas soared in worship even when they were in a dungeon. No dungeon could hold their spirits. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past. If the things of this world are still holding us down, then we have not been transformed. JESUS LIVING HIS LIFE THROUGH US Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." It's God's plan. Looking forward to this day, He determined that we would be great tools in His hands to fashion the Kingdom of God. God has confidence in us. It is Him working in us, both to will and to do His good pleasure (see Philippians 2:13). And as we discover our CALLING and Gods PURPOSE for our lives, it is the Father's good pleasure for us to utilize the authority and power of His Kingdom (see Luke 12:32) in order to displace the kingdom of darkness with God's everlasting Kingdom.(the Great Commission -- Matthew 28:19) These are decisive days of DESTINY. In this season, we must respond, allowing the Holy Spirit to empower and equip us for lives filled and overflowing with divine power and victorious valor (see 1 John 4:4).

Ephesians 6:11 - "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." In Ephesians 6:10-18, the passage on spiritual warfare, FOUR times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many Christians are focusing on wrestling their way to victory. You are already on victory ground (1 Corinthians 3:21,23). So when the devil attacks you by saying, "Look at that small sum in your bank account! How are you going to pay the bills?" stand your ground. Declare, "I am not trying to be rich, I am rich, In Christ, I am rich!" As the need arises, the supply will be there if you believe that you are already rich. It is the same with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your body. That is the time to be conscious of Jesus' finished work and declare, "I am not trying to get healed, I am healed! I am standing on victory ground which Jesus has given me!" It makes a world of difference when you fight FROM victory and not FOR victory. John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." Take a look around you and assess who you have in your corner -- with whom can you share God's calling on your life. Who would tell you to go for it? Who would pray for you as you deliver on your destiny? You may have to let go of old friends who are not moving in their spiritual life -- or limit your time with them. Or perhaps you need to cancel appointments with the naysayers in your life and add life-affirming people. Following your destiny in Christ is not always easy, so you need to be around supporters, prayer warriors, and encouragers.

"Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:18-19 God is a living, breathing, moving God who is always calling you forward to join Him according to His seasons and timing."Shall you not know it?" You must put your thinking, faith, and expectation in position to see, know and walk in the new that is springing forth in God's purpose for your life. It is time for your Christ identity to become a Kingdom-quickening reality. You can't see the new season through the eyes of yesterday, nor hear new life's call if you are listening to the hurts, lies, rejection, or insecurity that the enemy had attempted to tag the past season. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past in order to prepare you to move the Great Commission forward. Stepping stones are there to be leaped from, not carried to be stacked on the next. If you will know the new thing that God is doing in your Christ calling, it requires a letting go, a forgetting of that which would try and taint the new. "NOW" is upon us! We are entering into a brand new season in 2025. "Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?" says the Lord…" - Isaiah 66:9 He will finish what He has started. You cannot give birth to the new or know His delivery unless you first forget the place you have toiled and let your expectation become fresh for today!

2 Corinthians 12:9 - "…My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness…” I It is wrong for any Christian to attempt to live the Christian life. And we are not asked to do so. The Word of the Lord says, "it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me" (Galatians 2:20). This is the secret of living the Christian life. Defeat is not caused by less work, but by too much work. When we are working on our behavior, God's grace cannot come to us. Likewise, in our working too much, the life of the Lord cannot be manifested in us. The New Covenant Law is not designed for men outside of Christ. The natural man cannot obey the New Commandment that Jesus gave. There is only one commandment to rule the New Creation, and that is to love one another even as Jesus loved us (John 13:34). That New Commandment made any other commandment unnecessary, for the man who walks in Love will never do wrong. Someone asks, "Why is the Mosaic Law called the 'law of sin and of death?" Because it was to govern spiritually dead men. The Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2) is to govern Recreated men. It is the Spirit of Love.

"I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! But because you are barely warm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth!…Buy also some medicine (from Me) to put on your eyes, so that you may see." - Revelation 3:15,18 TEV The religious spirit is so closely akin to the Holy Spirit, the Lord announced, it would deceive the very elect if possible (Matthew 24:24). Nevertheless there are believers today who are coming out of complacency or rigid religious formality into their divine DESTINY. They reject the "lukewarm" Laodicean spirit that has so subtly deceived other countless believers and seek and pursue God's purpose for their life and a life dedicated to moving God's Kingdom forward through bearing fruit that remains. Our adversary has worked diligently to release the "spirit of stupor" over the Church. A personal encounter with the Lord delivers us from gloom and stupor by allowing hope to permeate our hearts with visions of DESTINY. Resurrection is becoming more than a doctrine, it is becoming a way of life. As the consumer-driven culture is losing hope in "things" and asking if there is not more to life than this, a renewed company of the elect are RISING OUT OF DEAD THINGS and pressing to the mark of the prize of their high calling (Philippians 3:13,14). SPIRITUAL DISORDER In 2025 there is a call for the Church to relinquish their personal agendas and programs to embrace an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. We create spiritual disorder when we insist upon our own plans and agendas and fail to embrace His by dying to our self-life as we embrace sacrificing ourselves for the spiritual development of others. Grace is being offered to discover and advance in His CALLING on our life. "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 We endeavor to lay aside every encumbrance and entanglement that has hindered us in the past and motivate us to move on to God's high CALLING. "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8 AMP PRESSING IN FOR BREAKTHROUGH We can control the PASSION and INTENSITY with which we live our lives. To get the fruitful life that God has purposed for us, we must go out on a limb away from the ordinary and complacent. We must dedicate ourselves to discipling and equipping other Believers so they will be effective in moving the Great Commission forward. One of the most crucial areas in which believers fall short in is PRESSING into God. Many pray briefly about decisions, then merely do what seems like common sense, not acquiring the mind of the Lord at all. But God must be sought. If we are "in Christ", we are moving with the most pressing speed, for we are "in" the most dynamic man who ever walked the earth. When He says to us, "Follow me", He is inviting us to a high-speed chase down the roads of our life. On that chase there is no rest except eternal rest and no security except eternal security. Beware lest your sense of unworthiness becomes a smoke screen for unbelief! Even now, the Holy Spirit is descending, hovering, and brooding over you. Shake yourself from the depression in which circumstances have kept you! You are standing at the threshold of God's glory! Expect God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past. Expect advancement from strength to strength! Expect to go from glory to glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom and His glory.

John 14:6 - "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." What should be the relationship between the Lord and us? The principal relationship is that Christ should be our life, Colossians 3:4 - "When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Once Christ has become our life, we are able to imitate Him. If we are ignorant of this fact -- that Christ is our life -- we will not be able to die to our self-life and experience the Ascended life on earth. For this alone is the way; this is the victory. Christ is our substitute in death, so also is He our substitute in life. Hebrews 12:1 - "Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us," Sin is a power that holds people. We cannot destroy its power or put it to death, but the Lord can remove it from us -- "the sin that entangles" - Hebrews 12:1. That is why the Word of God does not tell us to overcome sin, though it does tell us that we can be freed, or delivered, from sin. One cannot be delivered from sin by exercising his will, for when one is using this will power, he is unable to trust God's way for deliverance. Hence, God is forced to wait for that day when he (she) can confess their utter inability and fully submit theirselves to God's ability. Only when one has come to the point where they stop trying in their own strength does the Holy Spirit then have the opportunity of providing victory for them.

2 Corinthians 4:7, "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." God has put you here for a reason. Don't get caught up in the humdrum of everyday life but break out of the box into a fresh, open field of God's glory. Don't settle for less and get stagnant in a place of boredom. Stir up what God has deposited in you and realize that God has put the measure of faith in your heart to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom! You don't need more faith, just tap into what is already there. Get some high praise in your mouth and break off the lethargy of religiosity. Embrace fresh joy in the Holy Spirit! Don't look for your help from man, look to God. The eyes of the Lord are searching throughout the earth for those who are seeking His face! This is the bar and standard. God is no respecter of persons and will use those who make themselves available. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

Jesus prophesied, "I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12). By listening to the Holy Spirit and then casting our nets where He tells us to, we will be able to haul in a miraculous catch! This generation, as it arises and breaks out of the box of traditional limitations, carries with it increased power and clarity with diversities of anointing, exhibiting faith coupled with humility. The Church is our practice ground, but the world is our field of operations. As we disciple new Believers into an understanding of their Christ identity we will find ourselves doing the works of Jesus and even greater, thus making it possible for His effectiveness to be multiplied as more territory becomes part of His Kingdom. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven! PROPHETIC EVANGELISM One of the ways of "casting your nets on the other side of the boat" is prophetic evangelism, which simply means listening to the Spirit and acting accordingly to bring the Kingdom to bear on the world around you. The priesthood of every Believer makes it possible for the whole Church to be drawn into new realms of adventure with God. Prophetic evangelism has grown stronger as the Church has matured into a clearer understanding of her role in discipling and equipping the body of Christ in their Christ identity, right standing, with God, and walking in the Spirit so that the Great Commission can be brought forth. Bridal intimacy with her Bridegroom Jesus, along with the empowerment of God's people to be effective carriers of His Glory to a lost world is vital and essential to displace the kingdom of darkness with God's advancing Kingdom to complete the Great Commission. We are all to be prophetic evangelists, whether we find ourselves in mega-churches and in massive stadium events – or in some back alley ministering to a homeless person, or as missionaries in the jungle, or in a Starbucks. The same Holy Spirit keeps speaking to us everywhere we go. He will link us with others, equip us, teach us how to combine our gifts, and do signs and wonders through us. People will be unable to deny that this is God in action. The power and the love, will make Him manifest to a lost world. ONGOING GUIDANCE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT Foundational to equipping the saints and prophetic evangelism -- and breaking the way for its advance is to ask, knock, and seek until we understand and implement God’s purpose for our life -- we are now positioned to advance His Kingdom throughout the earth. WHEN JESUS GETS INTO YOUR BOAT Prior to the Gospel account of the resurrected Jesus telling Peter, John, and the other disciples to put their fishing net on the right side of the boat, we find another story about Jesus and His disciples in a fishing boat. This story contained in Luke 5:1-11 gives us further insights into the adventure of prophetic discipleship. The questions this story raises are: (1) "What happens when Jesus steps into your boat?" and (2) "How can you get Him to step into your boat?" Let's answer the second question first. Obviously, you must go to the water first. He will not get into your boat if it is stuck on dry land. Water, always strongly associated with the Holy Spirit, is where your boat needs to be floating. In other words, you have got to get in His presence. Will you say "yes" to Him? Knowing that your life may change drastically as a result, will you accept His invitation? He will tell you to do something that you may have already tried without results. "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing…" Still, you will recognize the voice of God's authority and you will agree: "…nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." The results will prove that you have the Lord in your boat. When the Lord Jesus steps into your boat, His presence brings you to your knees. Your response will be humility – and change. When He gets into your boat, it will cost you your boat, your history, and everything you own. A MESSENGER WITH A MESSAGE Luke 5:11 says, “So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him .” The word “forsook” means to leave behind. In one day, they abandoned their way of life and everything familiar to them to pursue Him and the DESTINY for which they were created. What had happened? What made the difference? When Peter was willing and obedient to do what the Lord asked his previous desires were replaced with a new desire. LIVING A SUPERNATURAL LIFE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM In the same way, when Jesus steps into your boat and changes your life, He will give you a message. You will become a messenger. Now God can use you as never before. His blessings will take many forms, and you will hang in there with Him even when the going gets tough. You will go where He goes and do what He tells you to do regarding overseeing the Believers that you are discipling and equipping. You live a supernaturally natural life in relationship with Him. Walking down the road together, sitting together -- your conversations will revolve around the things that are on His heart. You will be passionate about your calling in Christ because He is passionate and you will enjoy your journey in the company of His Spirit. Gifted with the prophetic ability to hear Him even when you cannot see Him, you too will embark upon an endless exploration of the diverse challenges of helping to bring in fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom.

Revelation 4:1 - "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven…" You may not be aware of it, but you are a focus of angelic activity. Angels are coming and going. God is moving. Your prayers are being attended to. As a child of God, like Jacob did at Bethel, you stand under an open Heaven. An "open Heaven" simply means that there is nothing standing between you and your Father and all the resources of Heaven. You are in a place of divine appointment in advancing in His purpose for your life. Today, it may seem as though your plans have stalled, but God's plans remain secure. Your Father has not forgotten you. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 - "Pray without ceasing." Prayer walk around your home. Lay your hands on every window and door, commanding the atmosphere of Heaven to come. Invite the Holy Spirit to infuse each room with righteousness, peace, and joy. Command all atmospheres that do not line up with the Kingdom of God to be removed immediately, in the name of Jesus Christ. Speak over the atmosphere of your home -- "As it is in Heaven, so it will be here in my home!" Desire to live in the atmosphere of Heaven every day. Banish emotional numbness from your life and release your heart to feel the wonder of belonging to Jesus. Enjoy the process of sensing and seeing radical atmosphere changes that will impact your entire household -- even those who are not yet Believers.

We are a part of a people God has produced to penetrate the veil of the ordinary. We are a golden, holy storehouse of God's potential. We have the life in us to liberate literally the entire world (John 16:33). It is time for you to stop going around the mountain and step into the promises and inherit. It's time for the Word to become flesh in your life. When the Word becomes flesh in your life, it acts as a hammer and breaks stubborn resistance of the heart; it burns, like a fire, all that cannot endure the test. Bitterness, offense, rebellion, idolatry, wounding and more cannot endure the test. Let His fire burn it away. Let your soul be delivered of all those giants in the land (Numbers 13:33) that pose as threats against you in partaking of your portion. There is a Caleb, Joshua and David in your DNA as a Believer; let the fire of God come and unlock it by purging any desire you may have to grovel at the Laodicean altar (Revelation 3:16) and move into your Kingdom advancing Christ calling destiny (Ephesians 4:1).

The Lord wants to use us, because He said: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." - Luke 10:19 If Jesus wants to talk today, He's going to have to use your mouth. If He wants to rebuke a storm today, He's going to have to use your mouth, and He's going to have to use your heart in faith. Who has this power, and what kind of power is it? We have it, and it's power to heal sicknesses and cast out devils. EXERCISING LIMITLESS POWER Our power is without limitation down here, because Jesus said, "All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth" (Matthew 28:18). That means all power belongs to whom? Jesus. And to whom did He give it? To us. It belongs to us! When the disciples woke Jesus up, they complained, "Don't You care that we're dying?" Have you ever tried to put a guilt trip on God in your prayers? "Don't You care what I'm going through?" We think we're going to get a response from God. "Don't You care that we're dying?" The disciples didn't get any sympathy. Instead, Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the water, "Peace, be still" - (see Mark 4). Jesus was a man anointed by the Holy Spirit, so He did not talk to the Sea of Galilee as God. People think, "God can talk to the sea," but that's not what Jesus did. He talked to that body of water as a man. As a matter of fact, who has authority over the elements here on Earth? Man through God does. A REMNANT WILL LEAD And there will be a remnant in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ who will be strong and will take the headship of our authority upon Earth. The Bible says, "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises…" - (2 Peter 1:4). What are they? The verse continues, "that by these ye might be partakers [or associates] of the divine nature…" The original Greek says, "partners with God in His divine nature." This gives us partnership with God. When we feed on God's Word, it is spirit and life to us. No thing the devil can do will stop us from reaching the place where we're going in God – nothing, nothing, nothing! Can you call the things which be not as though they were? If you merely think about it, without speaking to it -- it won't happen. You can't rebuke the storm silently. Some will argue, "Well, I don't want to say, 'Peace, be still,' and nothing happens." You're already in fear. You've got to learn to speak out of your inward convictions. You've got to learn to believe in your DESTINY! Living a miraculous Christian life puts you in a realm where things work out. Does that mean we won't encounter persecution? No. Does that mean we won't have obstacles? Absolutely not. We will have them. But through the obstacles, we'll be victorious, and you'll laugh at the obstacles. REPEAT THE FOLLOWING CONFESSIONS: "I am going all the way. I'm not going to die prematurely. I'm not going to die sick. I'm not going to live in poverty. I'm going to fulfill my DESTINY IN CHRIST. I believe in my God-given future." ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

God is preparing a remnant of truly overcomers for a righteous revolution! The Spirit of God has been fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of the saints causing them to feel a deep dissatisfaction with mere powerless religious actions. There can be no true revolution with contented people! What you feel within your spirit is a divine disturbance driving you to seek God on a deeper level. "The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?" - Amos 3:7-8 "IT IS TIME TO RESTORE THE ROAR!" The time of timidity and fearfulness is coming to a sudden end -- with astonishing boldness, the saints of God will arise. This sudden resurgence of boldness will be the result of a great returning to First Love, rekindling the fires of first love (see Revelation 2:4-5). and a passion to move forward His Great Commission, thereby overtaking and displacing the Kingdom of darkness.

Acts 4:13 - "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus." 2025 is a year where you will be baffling the minds of many. You are emerging from the depths and from the darkness of the shadows of the Most High. People will be shocked by God's presence in you. People will be amazed and ask you, "Where did you come from? Who is your covering? Who is this God that you serve?" When they see you and the power, anointing, and authority that you walk in, they will be wrecked. People will be saved and want you to disciple them because of the glory you carry. 2025 is the year of the world's greatest show! Your true "you" is being unveiled. Your true "you" is being displayed. John 7:38 - " Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!” It's time to advance! The sound and winds of Heaven are prevailing. Your time of activation is now. Your marching orders are here. You are in a monumental time of the Lord. God is positioning His Bride for victory and the sound of Heaven is being released. God is dispatching the heavenly host on our behalf! Now Go! The blessings and favor of the Lord that is upon you. Advance and move. Just like Joshua, God has promised you a great inheritance. It's time to disciple, equip, and send out other Believers to bring forth the Great Commission! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." - Matthew 10:16 A TREACHEROUS FOE Before we engage in spiritual warfare, we should know this about satan: he is an ancient and extremely treacherous foe. Therefore, be bold but never arrogant in your prayer life. Whatever lofty spiritual plane you imagine that you are on, remember: Adam was in Paradise when he fell. Before your increased knowledge and religious experiences make you overly self-confident, recall that Solomon wrote three books of Scripture; he actually gazed upon the glory of God, yet he fell. Yes, even in your deepest worship of the Almighty, do not forget in long ages past lucifer himself was once in Heaven pouring out praise to God. WISE AS SERPENTS "Prepare plans by consultation, and make war by wise guidance" (Proverbs 20:18). "Wisdom is better than strength… Wisdom is better than weapons of war" (Ecclesiastes 9:16, 18). "There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it. But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom." - (Ecclesiastes 9:14-15) Ephesians 3:10 reveals God's glorious plan, that "through the Church" God has purposed to make known His manifold wisdom to the principalities and powers "in the heavenly places." We must see that our prayers, attitudes, and an understanding of God's purpose for our life are an integral part of establishing the reality of the Kingdom of God on earth! KNOWING GOD'S WORD Our fight is the fight of faith: Do we believe, affirm and meditate on what God has promised? Our war is against principalities and powers. Jesus said His words "are spirit and are life" (John 6:63), which is to say that the substance or meaning in Christ's words represents an actual reality -- the living Spirit of the Kingdom of God. CHRIST CAME TO TRAIN AND EMPOWER WARRIORS Jesus prepared His disciples for everything, including war. They saw Him casting out demons. In fact, He sent them forth doing the same. Christ not only came to set captives free, He came to TRAIN and EMPOWER the recently freed to be warriors. How can we, imperfect Christians, walk triumphantly if we do not understand our Christ Identity? The Bible says we overcome "because of the Blood of the Lamb and because of the word of [our] testimony, and [we do] not love [our lives] even when faced with death" (Revelation 12:11). Many Christians are awakened spiritually, but they do not understand their authority and dominion or know God's promises in the Bible. To be successful, we must know God's Word, believe it, MEDITATE on it, and SPEAK it with faith. We overcome by the "word of our testimony." Proclaim the Word of God with authority. Indeed, the Holy Spirit tells us to take up "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). If we advance in our Christ calling protected by the Blood of the Lamb, if we war armed with the Word of God, and if we shoulder in our hearts the Cross of Christ, we will truly be "more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (Romans 8:37). CONSIDER HIS PROCLAMATION "So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). No matter how the battle rages, God's Word shall not return to Him void. Consider also His commitment: "I am watching over My Word to perform it" (Jeremiah 1:12). "The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart' – that is, the Word of faith which we are preaching" (Romans 10:8). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

The state of many in the Kingdom -- how the wind had been knocked out of them. They once were full of life and vigor but now they are just going through the motions and are lifeless. God wants you to live again. This is your season to rise again. We are standing at the threshold of a great revival. Hear the wind of God blowing into your life even now. This is your hour! God is calling you from the tomb of disappointment. He is calling you out from the grave of hopelessness -- to arise from your weak, powerless, and anemic condition. This is your resurrection season! The alarm of awakening is sounding. Can you hear the noise of dry bones coming to life again? It is time!" Be loosed from the grave clothes (John 11:43-44) of your last season and let go from every dead thing trying to cause you to remain in the tomb. This is your moment. The authority of Heaven is backing you up. ARISE! "The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God's glorious sons and daughters!" (Romans 8:19, TPT) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Many people are crossing spiritual frontiers. People are leaving old seasons of life and entering new ones. One of the most profound crossings ever made was when the nation of Israel walked across the dry riverbed of the Jordan River under the leadership of Joshua. More than one million people camped at the water's edge waiting for the word of the Lord to part the water. First, God would need to speak to Joshua and let him know what this passage would entail. Joshua 1:1-9 - Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them. No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. Be strong and very courageous. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." EACH CROSSING WILL BE DIRECTED BY A WORD FROM GOD -- "THE LORD SPOKE TO JOSHUA" Each area of our lives has a word from God assigned to it. Each of our families has a word. Each financial decision we make has a word assigned to it. Each relationship we enter into has a word from God assigned to it that will direct how that relationship will develop. It is wisdom to discover these words before we begin the journey. EACH CROSSING WILL REDEFINE THE NATURE OF OUR CALLING -- "THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO LEAD THESE PEOPLE" Like a chisel in the hand of a master sculptor, God fashions us with each step of faith we take. Under the hand of the Master we begin to resemble the person who we already are in Christ. EACH CROSSING WILL BRING A REMINDER OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS -- "FOR I WILL BE WITH YOU AS I WAS WITH MOSES, I WILL NOT FAIL YOU OR ABANDON YOU" We never do what God calls us to do alone. He is always leading us through His Spirt in each moment of the passage. It was a fearful and stressful moment. In that moment God assured Joshua that He would not fail or abandon him. EACH CROSSING WILL TEST OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE -- "BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS." Three times in the first verses of Joshua 1 the Lord tells Joshua, "Be strong and courageous." A repeated theme in Paul's ministry was his strengthening and encouraging of the churches in their Christ identity. He strengthened and encouraged these churches because they were feeling weak and discouraged when he arrived in their midst. Likewise we are to exhort, encourage, equip, and DISCIPLE those who God places in our path. Today, believe that God is taking you into a new future (His PURPOSE for your life) amidst all the pain and obstacles that are now standing between you and what God has promised. God is your passage-maker and He will never leave you alone in the crossing you are about to make as He enables you to equip and send out the Believers you are discipling so they can bring forth the Great Commission. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Jesus came to earth knowing the purpose of the Father for His life. Every born-again believer has a purpose (calling) destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth. Much of the favor of God that you experience is tied to whether or not you are living your life pursuing that purpose. "His Kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…" God desires His Kingdom to expand through you. As you learn to live as a habitation of God, filled with His Presence and glory, His authority will be released through your life. Through being a vessel yielded in intimacy with God, there will be an increased manifestation of the glory of Heaven upon your life resulting in the blind eyes of others being opened as you disciple them into their identity in Christ and right standing with God. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

What is our attitude regarding allowing the Holy Spirit to manifest His life and power through us? Are we thirsty? Are we longing? Are we willing to pay the price? Are we willing to forfeit in order to have? Are we willing to allow ourselves to die so that He may live? Are we willing for Him to have the right-of-way in our heart, our conscience, and all we are? Are we ready to have God's deluge of blessing upon our soul? Are we ready to be changed forever, to receive the Holy Spirit, to be filled with divine power forever? Acts 13:52 - "And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit." Many Believers have felt that their future looks bleak because nothing has changed or moved, and it had been like this for so very long. But know that many are coming into their predestined future as they come to understand their Christ identity. You are being given "hope and a future," like Jeremiah 29:11 says. We are in that season now – to see those changes happen. Unprecedented changes are coming to all long-standing, stagnant areas in your life -- they will no longer be dry and barren but filled with the fulfillment of His word. You are crossing over into your promised land. Don't be afraid to move forward, and know that it is okay to let go of people, places, and situations because not everything can go where you are going. The Lord has so much more prepared for you as you abide in Him (John 15:4); your most incredible days of favor are now right in front of you. Your days of desolation and isolation are over, for it is time to see your latter days which will be greater than your former days. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight…" - Ephesians 1:3-4 NIV It is vital now for every Spirit-filled Believer to start exercising the spiritual senses, particularly the eyes, to see what God has for you! It may be dark in the world, but the Light of the World will make darkness light to you if you allow Him to open your spiritual eyes (the eyes of your heart) to the truth of the reality of Himself in the existing and coming challenging days. As a result, at daybreak, your path will shine ever brighter until His glory arises in your midst. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see…" (see Hebrews 11:1-2 NIV). You can be sure of what you hope for when you realize that it already exists with God in the heavenly realm, which you have access to through Christ Jesus (see Colossians 1:12-14, 27; 3:3-4). SEE VICTORY "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 If you are in a battle, your spiritual eyes will help you to see victory, as Joshua saw his prayers answered in the Spirit as he pondered in anguish the conquest of Jericho, which to the natural eye, spelled d-e-f-e-a-t. In scanning the heavenlies – that is, opening his spiritual eyes – Joshua saw victory assured (see Joshua 5:13; 6:2). If you can see what God has promised, even in light of your circumstances, and receive it as truth by faith, you have the reality of Heaven's answer for you. SEE BEYOND LIMITATION Healthy spiritual vision will help you to see beyond limitations. Every Believer has a God-ordained CALLING and PURPOSE, a DESTINY in Him. His desire for you is to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom as you to fully walk in the fullness of your purpose in a manner that impacts and transforms your life, other Believers, your family, and the world around you. Imagine seeing that impact beyond the gigantic "Jerichoical" walls of limitation that in the natural seem to preclude the possibility of Promised Land possession. You may face huge barriers of impossibilities in the natural, but the Lord can show and give you heavenly blueprints for the tearing down of those limitations. SPIRITUAL EYES -- A GOD-GIVEN ADVANTAGE Our natural eyes see rejection, lack, and roadblocks. Our spiritual eyes see favor, provision, and new ways. The eyes of understanding are our advantage in these days – a God-given advantage to see by the Spirit of the Lord, to understand what the world cannot, and bring His light to the world. Yes, we can pull on the hope of the future, the future's accomplishment, and bring it into the present; even in our sadness for lack or despair over our barren state, we can be glad! Isaiah told the barren woman to break forth into singing (Isaiah 54:1-3) , to rejoice over her barrenness as though she had many children: "Sing…break forth into singing." Why do you suppose Isaiah counseled her this? Because God wanted her and us to see the promise, to experience the thrill of victory now, the joy of salvation now, contentment in our calling now, on earth as it is in Heaven now. Rejoicing positions us for Heavenly breakthrough. With spiritual eyes open we can see what should, could, and will be, and by faith bring it forth into the here and now. Unlike our natural eyes, which tend to be near or far-sighted and limited peripherally, our spiritual eyes can see limitless scope – whatever the Father chooses us to see. GRAB HOLD Improve your spiritual eyesight by way of studying what the Holy Spirit has revealed of God and of His promises in and throughout the Word, by: diligently staying in fellowship with God, daily confessing and meditating the promises to the believer in scripture -- pronouncing them over your specific situation and, praying specifically for God to illuminate your own heart to His truths. Believe and relish the truth! The truth will set you free and transform your life! Ask God for more of what you cannot see. Reach out in faith and take hold of it! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever." - Ephesians 3:20-21 Our very best days are right before us, not behind us! Consider the Message Bible's version of this Scripture: "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us." God can do anything. And what's more, our mighty King has outstanding plans for each and every one of us, plans that are more wonderful and sure than we could "ever imagine or guess or request" as we ask, seek, and knock until we understand and implement His calling on our life. The Lord assures us in 1 Corinthians 2:9 that, "No man has ever seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things God has in store for those who love the Lord." BELIEVE FOR A STRONGER ANOINTING No matter what trial you are experiencing in your health, finances, marriage, children or with your loved ones, God has unimaginably great blessings in store for you as you pursue your calling in Christ. All of Heaven and earth may pass away, but God's Word never fails us as we seek to advance His Kingdom in the earth. God desires to take us to new levels of victory in every area of our life. The Lord Jesus Christ wants to give us more of His wisdom so we can make better decisions (James 1:5). He longs to give us a stronger anointing so we can advance in His purpose for our life (our DESTINY in Christ) (Psalm 92:10). The Lord also wants to bless us financially so we can be a blessing to others (2 Corinthians 9:6-8) – also so we do not have to spend our time focusing on money so we can direct our attention on advancing His Kingdom. LIFT OUR VISION UP We need to avoid the old ruts of fear and unbelief. Submit to the God of peace, resist these demons and they will flee from you (James 4:7). Instead of receiving fear and unbelief, receive His precious promises as rock-solid truths and begin to act accordingly, CONFESSING OUT LOUD and giving thanks that your Father is certainly doing "exceedingly more" than you can even imagine. The Lord Jesus Christ is inviting us to lift our vision up, above our circumstances and situations, to fix our eyes on Him and His Word. As we do this we can expect to see the glory of God fill our lives and those who we disciple into their Christ identity so they can be effective in fruit bearing that remains for His Kingdom. We accept His invitation to come up higher (Revelation 4:1-2) by focusing on our Christ identity. God has new frontiers of the spirit for us to explore and higher mountains of faith for us to climb as we move forward the Great Commission. There is so much more to life in Christ than we can ever imagine! In His Presence we find true fulfillment,lasting joy (Psalm 16:11 and our next assignment. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Many Believers are at the edge of breakthrough, but they refuse to move past their current circumstances. Could it be that you, like Peter, are facing insurmountable odds against you? Have you been toiling all night and caught nothing? Have you been washing your nets, saying, "It's over. We often settle for the mundane when God is calling us to MORE. We are not on this earth to live a nice, normal life, merely existing until we die. God chose us to be born at this time. We are not here taking up space -- we are here to unlock Heaven on Earth. We have the keys to the Kingdom. God desires that we live in the MORE ZONE. More of God, the Father. More of Jesus, the Son. More of the Holy Ghost and power. He always has more. When Simon obeyed the instruction of Jesus, he caught so many fish that the nets broke. The answer to every one of life's questions is found in the Word and your obedience to His instruction. Get radical, believe with audacious faith. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Matthew 6:24 - “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life," You can't win a victory as long as the problem is the biggest thing in your life. Jesus said "No man can serve two masters." then He said "take no thought" -- we serve our thoughts. That's why Isaiah 55 says for us to forsake our THOUGHTS, and by the Word, take God's thoughts. That's why 2 Corinthians 10:5 says to cast out our THOUGHTS that challenge the Word and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Quit serving them. Realize that circumstances won't ever change until you switch from wrong to right thinking. Remember that you have the Word (God's thoughts). You have the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and you have the mind of Christ. Often, the battle is not with the devil, but with our own CARNAL NATURE. Our flesh really longs to rise up and fix things -- stating our opinion. We must remember -- the greater the faith, the fewer the words. If there are some battles or power-struggles going on in your sphere of influence, keep in mind it's best to always bow lower. After all, God became a baby to conquer the world. For it's, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, says the Lord" Zechariah 4:6. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Luke 18: 1-8 - Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.' And he would not for a while, but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.'" Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily, nevertheless,when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Jesus challenges our modern traditions. He asks, "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" His question is a warning to Christians who would limit the power of God at the end of the age. Jesus is calling us to resist the downward pull of our traditions; He is asking us individually, "Will I find faith in you? Jesus associates faith with "day and night" prayer (Luke 18:7). He is not asking, "Will I find correct doctrines in you?" The Lord's question does not so much concern itself with our head as with our heart. What we believe is important, but how we believe is vital in securing the help of God. Indeed, procuring the SUPERNATURAL HELP OF GOD is exactly the point of Jesus' parable in Luke 18. His intent was to show that "at all times" we "ought to pray and not to lose heart" (verse 1). To illustrate the quality of faith He seeks, He followed His admonition with a parable about a certain widow who petitioned a hardened judge for "legal protection" (verse 3). Although the judge was initially unwilling, yet by her "continually coming" (verse 5) she gained what was legally hers. Jesus concluded by asking, if an unrighteous judge will respond to a widow's persistence, "will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?" Jesus said, "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly" (verses 7-8). DESPERATION PRODUCES CHANGE It is significant that Jesus compared His elect to a widow harassed by an enemy. The image is actually liberating, for we tend to conceptualize the heroes of the faith as David or Joshua types – individuals whose successes obscure their humble beginnings. But each of God's servants has, like the widow, a former life that is brimming with excuses and occasions to waver. Look at the widow: She has legitimate reasons to quit, but instead she prevails. Indeed, she refuses to exempt herself from her high potential simply because of her low estate. She makes no apologies for her lack of finances, knowledge, or charm. Giving herself no reason to fail, she unashamedly plants her case before the judge where she pleads for and receives what is hers: legal protection from her opponent. DESPERATION - GOD'S HAMMER How did a common widow gain such strength of character? We can imagine that there must have been a time when, under the relentless pressure of her adversary, she became desperate, and desperation worked to her advantage. DESPERATION is God's hammer: it demolishes the stronghold of fear and shatters the chains of our excuses. When our desperation exceeds our fears, progress begins. We can stay the course because of the enabling of the strength of the Lord in us! We are strengthened deep within so that we stand firm for the promises of the Lord for our life. We lean into the Lord with deep courage to believe for the impossible to be possible. Hebrews 10:23 - "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is FAITHFUL;" Once we have endured the fire and have received the passion, we must persevere. Jesus didn't quit at Gethsemane. He went all the way to crucifixion! Once we've sustained the fiery furnace we can't give up. We must set our heart like flint, ready to go all the way with God in what He is CALLING us to do (God's PURPOSE for our life). Affirmations: GOD HAS A GREAT DEAL FOR ME TO POSSESS. MY TAKING POSSESSION WILL CONFRONT MY GREAT FAITH AND PERSEVERANCE. GOD IS CONTINUALLY PUTTING NEW CHALLENGES BEFORE ME TO DEVELOP MY FAITH AND PERSEVERANCE AT A DEEPER LEVEL. I REFUSE TO BURY THE INVESTMENT GOD HAS MADE IN ME. I PRESS TOWARDS THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

Matthew 15:6 - "Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Traditions rob believers of their healing. They steal the power from the promises of God. One tradition says that it's not always God's will to heal you. It is God's will to heal you! It says so in His Word. If you don't believe that it is, then you can't pray in faith believing you'll receive. "If it be thy will" won't produce a healing harvest. You must know without a doubt that healing is always God's will for you. Another tradition we hear is that healing has passed away. That there are no miracles today. But the Word of God proves that's not true, In Exodus 15:26, God says, "I am the Lord that healeth thee." He also tells us that He does not change (Malachi 3:6). For healing to pass away, God would have to pass away. Luke 1:37 - "For with God nothing will be impossible." "What would Jesus do?" It is a question Christians are taught to ask themselves when faced with a problem. But when you ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?" in any situation, it is subject to your own interpretation and theology. So, when you try to think of what Jesus would do, you are going back to your flesh! Maybe the reminder should be, "Watch what Jesus does." Watch what Jesus has done in the Gospels or leading me to do. If He prompts you to say or do something -- say or do it. In our Christian walk we are here to manifest Jesus Christ, with whom nothing is impossible! So when you are led to talk to someone, watch what Jesus does. When you pray for your child, watch what Jesus does. When you Confess God's Word into your situation, watch what Jesus does! Keep your eyes on Jesus, with whom nothing is impossible!

Joshua 1:9 - "..,Be strong and courageous! Do Not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Courage is on the rise! A new breed of daring is upon us. BE READY FOR A SPIRIT OF BOLDNESS AND MIGHT TO COME UPON YOU. You will arise in new boldness as anointed courage comes upon you as you gain ground for fruit bearing resulting from Kingdom exploits. Unprecedented harvest is breaking out and you are anointed, appointed, and called into such a time as NOW. Your anointed courage is shifting history. There is a grace to bring our petitions before God and actually pray them out! Pray, speak out, contend and decree, but ask God for what you want. Religious thinking would try and hinder or squash our freedom to just come before God and boldly ask, activating our faith. Don't get caught up in perfectionism, timidity, niceties or a dutiful, religious, "trying to get it right" way of praying, but just pray boldly! Be authentic. Be specific. Be bold. The enemy has entrapped a people to think that speaking out will diminish their voice and influence. The opposite is true. Partnering with unbelief diminishes influence. Partnering with truth (making the Word Rhema to your spirit) and God's voice increases influence. It is our birthright and responsibility to decree God's change. "Decree a thing" and see it established (Job 22:28) is imperative in this season. Our voice MUST establish Kingdom change. We must declare, decree, and announce Kingdom purpose, breakthrough and promise in our lives and ministry to help others move forward in their spiritual lives, thereby, advancing His Kingdom. We must speak it out. We must ask and decree. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

2 Timothy 1:14 - "Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you -- guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us." Your Christ potential is useless to the enrichment of the lives of others until you come to understand God's purpose for your life. Recognizing, understanding, and affirming your Christ identity, your right standing with God, and how to "walk in the Spirit" -- this is the quickest way to receive revelation of your calling in Christ. Live courageously so that the treasure of your potential in Christ is unleashed. The world needs what God deposited in you for the benefit of your contemporaries and all the generations to follow. Luke 18:9 - "To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:" - Most people are unaware that there are two kinds of righteousness. One form of righteousness is our own righteousness. These are the acts of holiness that we do in an attempt to fulfill the commands of the Old Testament law. This is an imperfect righteousness because human nature is imperfect and incapable of fulfilling the law. A person who believes that he must earn God's acceptance by his holy actions must not believe in God's righteousness, which is a gift. Righteousness is not what Jesus has done for us plus some minimum standard of holiness that we have to accomplish. God's righteousness is perfect. Accept that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

2 Peter 1:4 - "By which He (God) has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire." Each of us has a promised land for our lives (our Christ calling). God's promises are key to us entering into the vision that God has given us. If you are in a desert God is ready to take you out -- time to move on from eating manna to eating the food that God freely gives in the promised land of your DESTINY! If we want to be co-laborers with Jesus, fulfilling His PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE, we must step out of the comfort zone and move into the life of faith where our only source is the invisible God and the integrity of His word. He said we cannot be His disciples if we don't do this. "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." - Luke 9:23 When the Holy Spirit shows us promises concerning our CALLING, it comes by revelation. God gives us light to see. That revelation is a seed. Just as a seed needs to be watered to grow, so we need to water these seeds of promise with our prayers. Throughout the process, prayer is required to keep things moving in the direction of promises fulfilled. This requires patience on our part. God brings forth maturity in our hearts through this process. This is why we are encouraged not to lose heart. We can expedite God's promises through our response, pursuit, and actions. ACTIVATION THROUGH RESPONSE When we have come to an understanding of God’s purpose for our life, we now have an occasion to respond in some way that gets us "out of the boat." Matthew 14:28 - "And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus." Just as when Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, as His eyes were opened to the event, Jesus gave Him an invitation to get out of the boat. Peter did what he knew to do. He took a step out on the water. He went some distance. Taking His eyes off the Lord, he began to slip, but Jesus was still there to meet Him and lift Him up. Peter's response was not perfect, but, unlike any other disciple, Peter was the only disciple with the faith to get out of the boat and step purposely onto water! Sometimes in our own minds we justify waiting in the boat, not realizing it is just our natural mind wanting to know every detail. Thinking to ourselves, "Well, maybe I ought to just sit in the boat a little bit longer – after all, we want to have wisdom." Do you think Peter did that? No. He got out of the boat of his comfort zone before his natural feelings could jump in to dictate the next step. Our spirit man does not need to have everything figured out. Faith is the substance that gets us out of the boat. Be encouraged to seek God on how to get out of your boat. Because once we do all that we know to do in response to God's promise, the Lord comes through for us. God has given us promises. Some have time slots of fulfillment, and others are without time frames just waiting for our response. Hebrews 11:6 - "No man can please God without Faith." (TEV) Without faith it is impossible to please God. We are not allowed to simply wait for something to happen. GOD MEETS US ON THE WATER Jesus met Peter on the water. This was the place of faith. Peter experienced something that none of the other disciples experienced because he was willing to take a step. Is it any coincidence that it was Peter who was used to preach at Pentecost? Although Peter had done some presumptuous things, he also found the groove through his persistence, mixed with shortcomings. God's grace meets us and implements God's PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES to the present reality of bearing fruit that remains for His ever advancing Kingdom. We need to: Find the place of faith where we respond to what God has shown us. Seek God about the proper response through communion, prayer, fasting, and apprehending the Ascended Life in Christ as we die to our self life and start living for the spiritual lives of others. Then do all we know to do. It may not look exactly like the perfect response, but God will meet us on the water to help us get there. The Holy Spirit's desire is that we live our lives in the fullness of the Lord, by seeing above and beyond what we can do, and that Jesus would receive glory and honor through His great power that works in us and through us as we become the world changers we were destined to be. "Now to Him, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory…" - Ephesians 3:20 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement Of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

Psalm 16:3 - "As for the saints (great, majestic, nobles, chiefs, holy ones, set apart ones) who are on the earth, 'They are the excellent ones in whom is all My delight.'" Feelings lie! Go with what is already written about you because it's written in concrete. You cannot lose this time. You are too important to the whole scheme of things. It's not just about your destiny -- you are a part of the whole; you are a part of God's Big Plan. The fulfillment of YOUR highest destiny starts NOW! So stand up! Roar! Shake yourself from the dust that has choked you for so long; loose yourself -- oh captive child of the Most High! Now you will take the Promised Land. Yes, Pharaoh has been hot on your trail and the Red Sea has been in your way, but God LOVES to let things get to the point of impossible before He steps in because then He can show His power best. Watch and see what He is about to do FOR YOU! You are His superhero, reserved for this time in history! Why? Because you have what it takes to take the territory and WIN! Sit tall in a dignified place. Sit beside Him in His throne. It's time for you to co-reign, co-rule and co-create! Look up, because your recovery, your "cashing in time," your "pay off" day has come (see Luke 21:28)!

Lift up your head to the Lord and let the King of glory come in and wage war through you – giving you the power to take the land. (Psalm 24) He does not want you to get stagnant but to come alive! Lean into the Lord and believe for the impossible. NOW is a great time to really press in, seek the Lord, get into position and be ready for this outpouring of His Spirit. Fasting will sensitize your spirit to His Spirit, to enhance the relationship you have with the Lord, to cleanse your heart and to hear His voice more clearly. "But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." (Matthew 6:17-18) Oil is continuously being poured on your head. Die to self and learn to feast at God’s table even in the presence of your enemies. Embrace the ascended life – living from heaven, dwelling in the sense of His presence, and living from discipling other Believers to become equipped to move forward the Great Commission. Affirmations: I have the mind of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5) I disciple Believers in season and out of season. I reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience others in their inheritance in Christ and their right standing with God. ( 2 Timothy 4:2) I arise and walk in dominion power, and lay ahold of the promises of God. (Genesis 1:26) I curse those things that don’t bear fruit for God in my life. (Mark 11:12) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Luke 15:28 - "But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him," In the parable of the prodigal son, if the elder son had considered his brother, he would have rejoiced at his return even as his father did. Rather he was totally self-centered and became angry. How can we esteem others better than ourselves when in truth, we really think we are better than others? The Pharisees did the right things for all the wrong reasons. Inside, they were corrupt. So our evaluation of others needs to change. We need to esteem others on a different basis than the world does (by embracing the love of Christ in us). To esteem someone better than ourselves simply means to value him more than we value ourselves -- this is supernatural love that is only available in Jesus. To some, that may seem impossible, but it can happen when we die to self and bathe our hearts in the love of Jesus as we go abiding in Him while we go throughout the day confirming our oneness with Him. Zechariah 4:6, "'…Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit ,' says the Lord." Are there fortified "impossibilities" that you are personally facing? If so, now is not the time to lose hope or give up! It is not the time to allow the anxiety of pending defeat to rob you of your faith. Now is the time to hear the good report and prophesy it over your impossible circumstance! In this season declare Zechariah 4:6 over your situation and then hear and obey even the most foolish thing. Let a victory shout rise up so that you are raised up out of a posture of defeat (the tomb of dread). Stop seeing the impossible as your death sentence or sure defeat! It is your invitation into victory and breakthrough. Will you dare to believe the good report or will you live according to what the impossible dictates? Will you remain in Egypt (under a master that enslaves you to hard labor) or will you move into the Promised Land of your inheritance and believe, as you hear and obey, that "by His Spirit" the breakthrough and victory will come? Take the good report and watch the walls that stand between you and your promise fall. Now is the time for breakthrough after breakthrough! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
