"Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." - Revelation 4:1, AMP As we set our agendas aside in 2024 and come to Him -- we receive more than we could ever ask for and move you into a position that we never knew was possible." STEPS TO POSITIONING FOR REVELATION: 1) Schedule consistent time to spend with the Lord, as you would any appointment. 2) Set aside your normal agenda and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. 3) Steward well the revelation and instructions you have received previously through action. God's invitation has been extended to all who desire to come and receive revelation. The revelation you receive is to be birthed this season. Declaration of these revelations will ignite the sparks for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past. STEPPING THROUGH THE THRESHOLD WILL REVEAL YOUR NEXT STEP It is time to step all the way over the threshold (Revelation 4:1) to receive clarity. We will not be able to fully see if we are straddling the doorway. We have to be fully committed and step over. As we do, we will see the revealing of our next steps. SEASON OF GREATER ANOINTING Just as Gideon originally believed he was the weakest and the least, and then came to know the truth that he was indeed a mighty man of valor, we also must come to understand our Christ identity through affirming and meditating on the epistles of Paul. Once the truth of his identity was established, Gideon was given an assignment from God with a great anointing which led to an understanding of God’s purpose for his life.. (Judges 6:12-15). The Lord is calling you to step into your calling in Christ, so the greater anointing can come upon you. Like Gideon, when he stepped into his identity, the Holy Spirit will come upon you in greater power (Judges 6:34). As you begin to believe in your oneness with Christ – you will step into God's PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE -- the greater anointing with greater power. AWAKENING OF THE GENERATIONS Being known by our anointing will unite us. Being labeled with the truth not only unites us, it releases strength beyond our expectation. God is calling us to arise, as the called generation, and take our positions operating in our anointing to move His Kingdom forward bearing fruit that remains. Stand up and prophetically step over your threshold into this new season and declare: I affirm and meditate on the epistles of Paul every day until I receive a true understanding of my Christ identity. I expect revelation as I ask, knock, and seek to advance my Christ calling. I step into a fruit-bearing season advancing God’s Kingdom. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Maybe you have been so disillusioned because the noise of fear has been like a subtle poison against the lifestyle of faith. It has created a wedge or a blockage, keeping you from hearing and receiving from God the way you used to. Have you felt this? Have you felt like it's been so hard to enter the secret place – hard to pray, hard to read the Word, hard to feel His presence? Can you see how the enemy's plan has been to PREVENT you from receiving your Holy Spirit leading in your Christ calling? He has wanted you to feel alone, lost, and without the guiding hand of the Father, but it's not the truth! Lift up your head to the Lord and let the King of Glory come in (Psalm 24) and wage war through you. You are receiving a revelation of Jesus' love flowing through your heart, nourishing your desire to love and minister to others. Get ready to receive new updates for your mission as God hands it to you and downloads it to your heart. Fogginess and confusion are leaving. Frustration and disappointment are evaporating. You will recognize the hand of the Lord in the time that it felt like His hand was lifted from your life. You'll see His hand was never more involved than in that moment. "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

God is speaking to many people at this time that angels are waiting at your wall! Take heart, for that situation you are facing is about to become a miracle zone. The walls of an ancient city were where watchmen stood guard. "Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings" - Isaiah 58:12 A wall can represent an obstacle. Nehemiah wept when he heard the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, and the city's gates burned with fire. Nehemiah prayed, he interceded. And then, he realized God had appointed him to go and help rebuild that wall himself. Like Nehemiah, God has appointed you to a wall. Your "wall" is an assignment God has given you. An influence that is uniquely yours – something He has given you to protect, watch over and build. It is your Father's promise to you – your Christ calling. l ANGELS AT YOUR WALL: It's Time To Show Up Hear your Father say, "Don't stop asking, seeking, and knocking. Don't stop calling on Me. Don't rest, when it comes to prayer." - Luke 11:9, 18:7 "I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth." - Isaiah 62:6-7 What does it mean to cry out to your Father day and night? It means that when people all around you are resting, you are wrestling. Others may be lukewarm, but you are fanning the flames because passion is burning on the inside of you. You are being fueled, not by your own strength and energy, but by the fire of the Holy Spirit. Gradually, there comes a shift in your prayers – "this is what You said, and this is how it is going to be. I command every power of darkness to release the destiny of this wall in Jesus name. I speak life. I say, 'Let that promise spring forth, in Jesus name!'" Earth-shifting, obstacle-busting, angel-employing prayer starts with simply showing up. ANGELS AT YOUR WALL: It's Time to Rise up "See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me." - Isaiah 49:16 As you rise, take your place and pray and take action, expecting a shift to take place. You have moved into the miracle zone. He answers your prayer through the influence of the Holy Spirit upon people's hearts, and through sending angels about His work. But you and others will clearly see the hand of God moving. And glory will be given – not to a human instrument, or an angelic instrument – but all glory will go to Jesus. For you have stepped into your divine appointment. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Your real spiritual life is not in those church activities you have been encouraged to participate in -- since you are not moving from glory to glory in your spiritual walk. The glory realm changes the reality that you are living in. The reality of the Kingdom will overshadow you and change things, even if you feel you have lost it all. The Lord will not give you favor in the land of the materialistic and nonspiritual. The Lord your God will give you His favor if you are moving forward and gaining ground in His purpose for your life -- not because of your circumstances or what you did or didn't do. Declare that you are set apart for Jesus, consecrated for His glory. You will be unrecognizable to others for He is making you full of His blessings and full of His favor as you gain ground for His kingdom in your Christ calling. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Yes, I long to come to know Him; that is, the power of His resurrection, and so to share with Him His sufferings as to be continuously transformed by His death, in the hope of attaining, in some measure, the resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead." - Philippians 3:10-11 We must guard our spirit concerning attitudes and things that can hinder the "quality" of our spiritual life. When we neglect to value and maintain His presence in our daily life experience, we will gradually lose our interest in daily communing with the Lord. Our understanding of spiritual principles will become clouded and deteriorate, and we will be robbed of His best for us. POWER OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS Negative thoughts or things, if not dealt with, will gradually eat away the progress that we have made toward our becoming spiritually mature. Any spiritual sensitivity that has developed within us will become dull and we will begin to feel that the Lord is far away and no longer interested in us. WORLDLY ATTACHMENTS AND RELATIONSHIPS If we are sincere in our desire for His best, all attachments and relationships that are not compatible with His will and PURPOSE for us, or do not enhance His workings within us, must be brought to the Cross, and left there. Only then will we be established on a firm foundation and capable of cultivating an active, abiding friendship with Jesus. ADVANCING IN HIS PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE As we continue in our times of daily communion with the Lord COUPLED WITH AFFIRMING AND MEDITATING THE SCRIPTURES THAT CONFIRM OUR CHRIST IDENTITY, our perception and understanding of spirituality, and of spiritual things will increase. We will have an increasing desire and ability to respond to and value His abiding presence and workings to bring us into a lifestyle of moving from glory to glory as we bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom through our Christ Calling. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:10 As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly perspective. This would including discipling other Believers into their Christ identity and encouraging them to ask, knock, and seek until they come to understand God’s purpose for their life so they will be effective in advancing His Kingdom. We have the potential to believe impossibilities into reality. "Everything is possible for him who believes." - Mark 9:23 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

This is a season to flow with God, be bold in our faith, and expect to see the miraculous power of God work in and through our lives – advancing His Kingdom from glory to glory! The gift we fail to appreciate is time. It is wisdom to number our days (Psalm 90), for we have only a certain allotment of time to fulfill our Christ calling. Yet many squander their days with meaningless distractions. Yes, all things are lawful but not all things are profitable (1 Corinthians 5:12). We must put on the mind of Christ so that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation is activated in our lives. To do this we need to have expectation that God will show us new revelation concerning fruit bearing for His Kingdom. Revelation leads us to understanding – understanding to wisdom and wisdom gives us strategy. "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him." - Ephesians 1:17 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. " - Philippians 1:20 The enemy sometimes attempts to MAGNIFY fear over health issues through his lies. The enemy is attempting to MAGNIFY FEAR with his lies and false decrees to keep Believers bound. But the truth is, there is a key to break these health issues and cycles in their lives. RANDOM PHYSICAL/WEIRD SYMPTOMS BROKEN The definition of "magnify" is: Make (something) appear larger than it is, especially with a lens or microscope. Praise highly; glorify. SYNONYMS: to enhance, boost, expand, intensify. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord," - Luke 1:46 But right now, MAGNIFY NOT the symptoms. Magnify NOT the health issues with your focus. MAGNIFY THE LORD! Be FEROCIOUS in your FOCUS on FAITH and PRAISE! The enemy is looking for the agreement with the symptoms so he can magnify FEAR, but as you MAGNIFY HIM there shall be MAJOR, sudden alignments and miracles in HEALTH and BODIES! "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together!" - Psalm 34:3 RADICAL RESTORATION AND ALIGNMENT Intentionally LOOK AWAY from the health issues, from the random/weird symptoms, and MAGNIFY the Lord instead. Magnify the name of JESUS for who He is and His Word, and His ability to heal your body. See in your minds eye Jesus coming and placing His hands on your head and the afflicted spot. Decree the word "ALIGNMENT" and the power in JESUS' name and EXPECT manifestation. SMOKESCREEN SYMPTOMS Believers who battle these random/weird symptoms are the ones where the enemy has been whispering lies of: "This is what's wrong with you..." Many fear for their lives and have a strong sense of foreboding, thinking things like, "Is this going to come upon me?" Don't listen to his lies -- many have been assaulted by this spirit of fear manifesting in their physical bodies for years and for some, their whole life. ASSAULTED BY THE SPIRIT OF FEAR The enemy is coming against you, lying to you about what is to come. You've been in the constant cycle of fear over your body and health, and the enemy is lying to you to trap you again in another foreboding cycle of SMOKESCREEN SYMPTOMS Repent of aligning with fear and trust Him and KNOW that what is before you is strength, restoration of body and increase. DISAGREE with his lies and MAGNIFY HIM! Expect His Spirit to break fear and release Kingdom keys for divine health. Physical restoration is upon you. Decree "NO MORE!" and watch as the tormenting fear regarding health flee. "Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified." - Psalm 40:16 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Extend, activate, and anticipate the move of God in your life to significantly increase right now. HAVE FAITH --your expectation is POWERFUL. Many are weary -- many are discouraged in the battle they have endured, but NOW expect to be returned to JOYFUL laughter and shouting with gladness as you bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing. This is your season of restoration, recompense, and renewal. "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." (Luke 1:45) A NEW SEASON OF ACCELERATED WEEPING IS UPON YOU! You shall weep more now than you ever have, but your weeping shall be different. Your weeping will be at the MIGHTY MIRACLES that He is doing in and through your life. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Lord Jesus, you are my light and salvation and the defense of my life -- whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1 I ascend into the hill of the Lord and stand in His presence and seek His face. Psalm 24:3,6 I lift my head up to behold the King of Glory who delivers me. Psalm 24:8 I wait on the Lord and lift up my soul to receive His compassion and lovingkindness. Psalm 25:1,3,6 Teach me your paths, O Lord, and instruct me in your purpose for my life. Psalm 25:4,12 My eyes are continually toward Jesus, as I let integrity and uprightness preserve me, He guards my soul and delivers me. Psalm 25:15,20,21 O Lord, I love to dwell in the glory of your presence and declare all of your wonders with the voice of thanksgiving. Psalm 26:7,8 I dwell in His presence and behold His beauty as I meditate on His Word. Psalm 27:4 My head is lifted up above the circumstances of life as I die to self and sing praises to the Lord. Psalm 27:6 I am strong and my heart is full of courage as I wait on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Why pray the Psalm scriptures out loud? It is hard to think about something other than what you are talking about. Praying out loud the scriptures solves the problem of the wandering mind. -- spoken words speak to the soul and have the power of raising thoughts in the soul. The Psalm scriptures speak of God in the Highest manner which most fully expresses the power and presence of God. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

1 Samuel 10:22 - "Therefore they inquired further of the Lord, 'Has the man come here yet?' So the Lord said, 'Behold, he is hiding himself among the baggage." There are those who have been born again in Christ and have not yet stepped out of hiding. Shame, fear, and rejection have held you back. You've struggled to walk in your true Christ identity as sons and daughters. You've questioned and doubted that God would have such great plans for you. You've wondered if you have what it takes. You've entertained thoughts such as, "It's safe here. If I don't step out, I won't risk failure. No one will see my weaknesses or my flaws if I stay in hiding. I can't get hurt if I hide." REJECT PARALYZING MIND-SETS Isaiah 43:19 - "Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert." Do not sell out to these lies. Come out from the baggage that holds you back, that keeps you from moving forward. Come out of the mindset that keeps you paralyzed, unable to move. Let go of the former things – past failures, past rejections. God is doing a new thing. He's calling you out from among the baggage and leading you into a place of kingship. This place of kingship is where you've always belonged. As you take the steps to move out of hiding, you will experience the reality of the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). This peace creates courage; a courage to face your circumstances head-on without fear of failure and with the ability to walk in absolute faith in the victorious outcome, no matter what comes your way. Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." It's time to believe God! It's time to believe God will do exactly what He said He will do concerning you and your calling in Christ. It's time for you to come to understand your Christ identity and step into God's PURPOSE for your life. God has chosen you. He has called you, anointed you, and only you can do what it is that God has called you to do. If you take the steps to come out of hiding, you will begin to see the favor of God in your life in ways you've never experienced. You will experience the glory of God manifested in your life and through your life benefiting the spiritual lives of others. This manifestation of His glory will no longer be a dream but a reality as you begin bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling. Deuteronomy 31:6-8 - "Be strong and courageous...The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

In 1 Kings 18:30, Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that had been torn down. Just as Elijah received specific instructions for repairing the altar and then preparing it for a miraculous display of God's power to that generation, God is calling you as a Believer to prepare yourself for amazing displays and encounters of His fire and power to your surroundings and atmosphere. The enemy's plan has included a deep discouragement and a dumbing down of the faith of God's people. It's time to shake off these harassing spirits and come into alignment with the inevitable kairos moments planned for our day. You may have grown weary in well-doing and are about to be revived so that you can revive others. God is issuing an alert to the weary waiters: Lift up your eyes toward the light, and tune your ears to the sound of heavy rain. Step into His grace-filled infusion of energy and receive His refreshing second wind. God has an assignment for you in this hour. Declare that His life-changing rain will come! Don't settle for less than a Holy Spirit downpour. This generation will cry out, just as Elijah's generation did when they encountered the power of God: "The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!" (1 Kings 18:39). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

It's important to know the times and seasons you're in, so you don't miss your widow of breakthrough. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter..." Many are in a season of transition and crossing over to a new place God has prepared for them as the advance in their Christ calling. Deuteronomy 11:10-12 says, "For the land which you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot like a garden of vegetables. But the land into which you are about to cross to possess, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of Heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year." You're getting ready to crossover into a place of promise the Lord has prepared for you in this season. To cross over and possess the promise, it is necessary to go through the valley of Baca (Psalm 84). Right before times of breakthrough, God will often lead us through narrow and tight places. The pressure and the closed-in feeling many have been feeling is by walking through that narrow place. Many die spiritually or get stuck in the hallway of transition because they stop moving forward; they don't have the endurance and stamina to go through because the do not fully understand their Christ identity. Psalm 84:5-7 - "How blessed is the man whose strength is in You... Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; The early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength." God brings us through narrow places because not everything can go with us into our new season. We have to leave the baggage from our last season. You're in a hallway right now, attached from your last season to your new season. To reach your breakthrough you have to go through. STAY CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT There's a reward for those who diligently seek the Lord (Hebrews 11:6). "Diligently" is defined as constant in effort; persistent in doing anything. God is looking for those who will stay consistent and persistent. Psalm 23:4 (TPT) says, "Lord, even when Your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for You already have! You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of Your love takes away my fear. I'll never be lonely, for You are near." Sometimes God's path for our lives will take us through the dark places but we are never alone, He is with us. David says, "...fear will never conquer me, for You have already have!" What conquers you will lead you. In Psalm 84:6 its says that as they walked through the weeping valley it began to change to a place of overflow. You have to continue to go through the valley because each step is prophesying and bringing transformation to your valley. Your valley of weeping is turning to a place of refreshing and overflow. ACTIVELY WAIT Psalm 84:7 says, "They go from strength to strength..." "Strength" means might, ability, wealth, force. Strength to strength comes when we learn to wait upon the Lord. Isaiah 40:29-31 says, "He gives strength to the weary, and to him who has no might He increases power. Even youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly. But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power. They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired." When we wait on God it's an active waiting. It becomes a place of exchange and renewal. As you wait you begin to mount up, ascend, and arise. It's not something you have to force, it naturally occurs when we dwell with the Lord. God wants you to catch the wind of His Spirit in this hour and begin to soar to breakthrough and new places in your Christ calling through the realm of the Spirit. Your promise is waiting on the other side of your weeping. Keep pressing through. Breakthrough is your portion as you learn to bear fruit that remains for God’s advancing Kingdom! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Shake off every hope that is not the hope of Christ in you! Shake off despair, let go of striving in your own strength, and push through the crowd of your own hopeless thoughts so that you can grab hold of the very hem of His garment -- then see what happens. "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalms 46:10). This wrestle of "strivings" (striving to enter His rest -- let go of striving out of human strength) will cause your soul to truly enter the rest of the Lord. You will witness and come to KNOW that He is God, and He will show Himself as the God of your life. As you humbly acknowledge your weakness, this will be the very place where the power of Christ will come to rest. The barren places will become the womb of miracles. The impossibilities will become the landing strip for awe and wonder. And the desolate lands will drip with new wine. You must push through the place of putting confidence in your own strengths and abilities (or in anything that is not Christ), then you will enter a spiritual rest that heals your soul and keeps you focused on bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Believers will be sent into the darkness of situations, events, and circumstances to declare with authority, "Let there be light," and light will be released to set captives free, to shine on the harvest, and release it from the enemy's grip! HIS GLORY SHALL BE SEEN UPON YOU! His glory shall be seen and be noticeable on those who are pursuing the Extravagant One with reckless abandon. (Isaiah 60:1-3) It is your time to shine, to release the supernatural life of Christ resident in you, prepared in your being to reflect His goodness! Arise, shine, for your light has come! It has come to release fresh and timely revelation, to equip and move the Body of Christ into alignment with the movements of God, and to build Jesus' house! Your light is coming forth, and it is arriving on time to bless the Body of Christ and the world in the CALLING IN CHRIST you have been assigned. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

YOU HAVE OUTGROWN YOUR CHURCH This is often the case when God transitions you from one spiritual environment to another. In your current environment, you've experienced everything of God and the life of faith that there is capacity to express. For example, you may have been part of an evangelical church with incomplete scriptural teaching. You have come to a place where the "improve yourself" sermons are not working on your spiritual life. Each week after all the "making you a better person" sermons along with the Church programs and hoopla, you begin to see yourself running on a weekly hampster wheel going nowhere fast. This may be a signal that transition is in the wind. COMING TO UNDERSTAND You come to understand that God wants to expose you to a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. However, your current church simply doesn't have a paradigm for that. Something is being quenched inside you. God transitions you into a new environment where there is a much greater openness to things of the Spirit. You begin to encounter Him in new ways. It can almost feel as if you've been born again – again. YOUR CURRENT ENVIRONMENT HAS BECOME TOO LIMITING OR RESTRICTIVE When Elijah was taken to Heaven, his mantle was picked up by Elisha. This initiated a new phase of ministry for the younger prophet. Some of your old "coats" or "mantles" have expired. They were God's anointing for a specific assignment or purpose in a previous season. But now He wants to remantle you for what lies ahead. Picking up the new requires being willing to release the old. DON'T LET THE PRESENT SEASON BECOME A PERMANENT HABITATION God brought you into your current season for a reason -- now that season is over. The danger is that you settle and stay too long. You allow a temporary stopover to become a permanent habitation. In Genesis 11:31 we read, "One day Terah took his son Abram... and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran." Terah was called to Canaan, but instead he settled in Haran and died there. He stopped short of his destiny and finished up in the wrong place. There are Believers with great callings and dreams from God that get settled and stuck in a place they were only meant to stay for a limited time. They became too comfortable. They struggled with fear of the unknown. Disappointments and hurts from the past kept them from pioneering and taking new risks. In Deuteronomy 1:6–7, God tells Moses, "...You have stayed at this mountain long enough. It is time to break camp and move on..." That's a word for some Believers today. You've been here long enough. It's time to move on. TRANSITIONING OUT OF A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT Sometimes God transitions you because something has changed in your environment. A place that was once safe and welcoming has become toxic and destructive. A relationship has become abusive. A boss demeans and mistreats you. A job has become too isolating. A church or ministry has become controlling. To remain there will be damaging or detrimental to your well-being. Move on. Do whatever you need to do. You must protect yourself and those under your care. BETWEEN TWO SEASONS You could be in the middle of a transition, but until now, you haven't realized it. If you discover that you're in between two seasons start to dress for the season you're entering, not the one you're leaving behind. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Prayer – Means praying according to the word of God on the basis of promises.

"... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit...' (Zechariah 4:6). He is blowing His breath, His resurrection life and power, over your life right now and causing you to ascend out of the ashes, and causing you to come up higher. He is CAUSING YOUR COMEBACK NOW. You have been in a battle that you have felt has almost knocked you down completely, but no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and NOW is the time for you to arise. For He is bringing you forth by HIS POWER, refreshed and restored. No longer shall you know the weariness that has held you down. No longer shall you know the fear and brokenness that has caused you to hide and pull away. For He is breathing life back into you, He is reintroducing you to His power, and He is restoring ALL. He is bringing you forth in strength, and you shall know the fortification and restoration that comes by His Spirit to establish you again in your Christ calling so you can advance His Kingdom and bear fruit that remains. COME UP HIGHER. Raise your expectation in faith, for He is breaking the battle over your body, and in 2024 YOU SHALL KNOW NEW STRENGTH AND PASSION. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

BECOMING CHRISTLIKE There are two types of Christians, the trained and the untrained. Too many Believers view their salvation experience as though it were an arrival – and on one level it certainly is. Yet, your "arrival" is actually the beginning of a journey toward coming to understand your Christ identity and discover your Christ calling. Being "born again" is a step out of darkness into a destiny that will involve perseverance, faith, and spiritual training. So accept the fact that the Lord's goal is not just your rescue, but also your training. To be spiritually trained will cost you. You must make life choices, spend time in spiritual development, and give yourself an unfolding surrender to learning the glorious ways of God. The result is your transformation. As Jesus put it, "A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher" (Luke 6:40). In all of life, there is nothing that exceeds your desire to be "fully trained." In every way, You desire to be like your teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ. YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK The untrained Christian can walk into a life setting yet be completely ignorant of the spiritual dynamics that are influencing him. The spiritual man enters the same setting and he discerns what is happening; he is led by the Holy Spirit and he is effective in all realms. "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil" (Hebrews 5:12–14). The mature, through practice, actually possess "the mind of Christ" and appraise all things (1 Corinthians 2:15–16). They function successfully and courageously in every dimension of life, because they have been trained. Of course, the teacher (Ephesians 4:11,12) whom God temporarily uses to train you never takes the place of Christ; The Lord just uses the individual to equip you in understanding your Christ identity, right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit. Of course, the teacher whom God temporarily uses to train you never takes the place of Christ -- the Lord just uses the individual to equip you in these areas. (Ephesians 4:11,12) GOD USES OTHERS TO TEACH YOU There are some things God will not teach directly to you but will instead require that you learn certain truths from others. It's significant that an angel told Cornelius to contact Peter and have him explain the truths about Jesus Christ. Why didn't the angel speak directly to Cornelius? It was important that Cornelius learn about God from another man. Humility requires you to appreciate the influence of godly mentors in your life and learn from them. Remember that your goal is not to follow men, but to be trained and equipped so you too can bear fruit that remains in God's advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling. CONSECRATE YOURSELF TO SPIRITUAL TRAINING In a generation where households may have a dozen Bibles yet not a minute to study, Jesus desires we become serious in our pursuit of spiritual training. Indeed, let's assure ourselves, no matter what our age or background, in the promise of our Master: "Everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher (Jesus)."

February 18, 2024 - Exhortation This is not a year to shrink back, but to allow what He has told you to affect you deeply. Lift up your gaze to see His eyes locked on you and your Christ vision. You must continue to dream with Him and do great things. You don't have to trust in economies to bless you because you have God's eyes on you. And as He did for the Israelites in their new land, He will do for you as you remain confident in Him. Turn from timid trust to bold confidence in your Father who loves you. Whatever your assignment is -- see your life with the perspective that God has His caring eye on you, and partner with Him by continuing to implement your Christ calling with what He has placed within your hand, knowing that He will send the rain. You are a city set on a hill that draws all to Him. There are many sources around you attempting to pull you from believing God in this season. Unbelief is a sin (John 16:8-9; Hebrews 3:12). It is the single thing that kept Moses' generation out of their promise; and after all they had endured, they chose to cower backwards in unbelief and tested God by not believing that He would make good on His promises. Don't be deceived into reading the internet to foretell your future when your times are read and written in Heaven. You will bear fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom because your roots rest in His unfailing stream. "So why would I fear the future? Only goodness and tender love pursues me all the days of my life..." (Psalm 23:6 TPT) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

The outpouring of the Spirit is likened in Scripture to a deluge of rain on a dry and thirsty land. But if that deluge is to result in a harvest, then the soil must first be prepared. "Break up your fallow ground," cries the prophet Hosea, " for it is time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain righteousness upon you.." (Hosea 10:12) What is fallow ground? It is land which now lies idle through lack of cultivation -- hearts of many who profess the name of Christ but are spiritually unproductive and void of spiritual growth. Fallow ground is hard; that is why it needs to be broken up. Hardness is not confined to those who have denied the faith or fallen into deep sin. There are believers today sitting under the finest ministry year after year without giving any evidence of spiritual growth. Their state of heart has deprived them of spiritual understanding, though their minds are being filled with biblical information. The insensitive heart does not hear. There are burdens God wants to share, but He cannot do that if we are out of touch. Fallow ground is weed-bound. If we are not diligently cultivating the garden of our soul, we may be sure that spiritual weeds are flourishing. Fallow ground is unfruitful. The ultimate purpose of the Lord's dealings with us is that we may be fruitful (John 15:16). Nothing short of fruit that remains will satisfy Him. It is possible to be religiously active, ever zealous in our service to God, yet when a hungry Savior comes to us, as to the fig tree, looking for fruit, He finds nothing but the leaves of our busyness. And so He goes His way as hungry as when He came, and deeply disappointed. What then is to be done with this unproductive fallow ground? We are to break it up, says the prophet. Noticed, it is not primarily a question of God breaking us, but of us breaking ourselves. We must be careful to not put the obligation of breaking ourselves upon God -- "Please break me" -- we He has already put the obligation on us by saying, "You break your own fallow ground" (Hosea 10:12). Of course we cannot do this without Him. But when He sees us responding to His command in obedience and faith, He will do His part, working in us by His Spirit. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

BECOMING THE ENCOUNTER "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole." - Isaiah 53:5 AMP If the Church will consecrate itself and begin to corporately step out to reach the lost in this hour, it will serve as a powerful wave that unleashes world-wide revival. This is a call to "become the encounter" the world so desperately needs. Right now, God is looking for firebrands: people who will do whatever it takes to have a burning bush encounter. In order to "become the encounter," you must expect to catch fire -- in order to catch fire, you must give God your burning bush consciousness to burn (Matthew 7:8). It is the spirit of praise and worship that draws the glory-presence of God on the earth. Praise and worship and advancing God’s Kingdom through your Christ calling go together – they create the catalyst for public displays of repentance and effective evangelism and the desire for teaching. Personally, we are being called to host God's presence. This comes by pressing into God not just for a momentary encounter, but an encounter that leaves us changed forever. God is interested in marking those that will step up to the plate with His presence and power for the greatest harvest and personal discipling we've ever seen. When we preach that the Kingdom of God is at hand, we must trust that with this comes, discipling believers into their Christ identity, the healing of the sick, the raising of the dead, and the casting out of devils (see Matthew 10:8). This requires courageous lovers of God to fearlessly "light themselves on fire." Expect to see an abundance of great grace, strength, and faith being imparted to you when you resolve to take new land and emancipate yourself from small limited thinking as you encounter higher realms of God's presence. Expect to move from glory to glory as you see new manifestations in the realm of miracles, signs and wonders, and divine appointments to minister to unbelievers in public everywhere you go. It's time to become the encounter! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

February 17, 2024 - Exhortation Hebrews 12:29 tells us, "For our God is a consuming fire" (NKJV)! It is His fire alone that will cleanse us from our self-life and begin living for the advancing of God's Kingdom. Psalm 66:12 tells us, "... We went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment" (NKJV). Recognize how important it is for you to walk in the favor of God as you implement your calling in Christ. Be awakened and be aware of the authority that Jesus has given you as part of your Christ identity as a son of God. Have faith, confidence, assurance, and authority in the Lord to "TRAMPLE" on serpents, scorpions, and all of the power of the enemy realizing that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! You need to be encouraged if last year wasn't what you hoped for -- God is not finished yet. Cast your net of faith one more time, knowing He truly is a faithful God of more than enough. More than enough revelation. More than enough provision. Remember, everything can change in a day, in a moment. Your job is to hold your confidence in His unfailing Word until the end. Your part is to believe the harvest is coming! "... Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5, NKJV) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called," - Ephesians 4:1 "For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning" - 2 Peter 2:20 Scripture instructs us to come to understand and carry out our Christ calling, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom. It exhorts us not to turn back to our old life or the rudimentary ways of this world. In the last few days, people will have itching ears to hear what they want and not endure sound doctrine. Instead, they will seek out teachers to tell them what they want to hear. God cares about your comfort, but not at the expense of your destiny. He will offend your flesh, put you in a wilderness experience, crucify your self-life, and put you in a trial, all to perfect you and make you more like Him. Unfortunately, too many people in the Church have decided that they would rather be comfortable back in Egypt than become an army called to possess the Promised Land. CONVENIENCE, COMFORTABILITY, ENTERTAINMENT Convenience has replaced commitment. Comfortability has replaced being conformed to the image of Christ by aggressively pursuing your Christ calling. Entertainment has replaced worship and the sacrifice of your time to disciple new believers into their Christ identity. Tolerance—being non-offensive and all-encompassing—has replaced preaching the truth with conviction and repentance. Let's not bow down to the idol of convenience or go back to Egypt and captivity only to face God's judgment. COMPROMISE TO THE CURRENT CULTURE Some have bowed down, becoming more like the world, in the name of being relevant. How could it happen that people would use grace as an excuse to live like the world? Paul has said that God forbid that would happen. We are warned of false teaching and false teachers. However, it is impossible to properly discern false teaching if you do not have understanding. The law of grace is not a lower standard but a higher one in God. It not only deals with your actions but your heart motivation as well. God's warnings are clear: Don't compromise with the world. Don't become a friend of the world and trade-off your faith, your godly standards and your relationship with God. Don’t trade your birthright for a bowl of stew (Genesis 25:29-34). Let's not bow down to the golden calf of compromise! COMPLACENCY AND THE CARES OF THIS LIFE If the enemy can't stop us, then he'll just distract us with frivolous hobbies and pastimes. He'll get us so caught up in the mundane day-to-day that we stop dreaming and discovering. He'll try to cause the hard things to harden our hearts and dominate our passion. He'll try and turn our eyes to escapism and entertainment or deaden our dreams with the drudgery of everyday pressure to just survive. Dead religion and ritual will want to supplant a passionate pursuit of God's calling on our lives. This can become a golden calf that diverts or depresses our energy for Heaven's purpose for our life. RECOMMIT AND GET ON TRACK If you're hurt— seek help. Seek God and let Him heal your heart. It's time to get over it and get on with it. If you're hard—humble yourself. Let grace flow and soften your heart. Seek God If you don’t know God’s purpose for your life – ask, knock, and seek until the Holy Spirit gives you a revelation of your Christ calling. If you're distracted—focus, commit, and get your life back on track with God. If you're compromising—read the Word with an open mind. Repent of your sin by conforming to the heavenly example. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, convict you, and help you embrace change. If you're facing something impossible—rise up in faith. Lift up the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God). Fight, shout your doubts out, and cast the enemy out. If you feel hopeless—allow God to re-ignite His vision in your life. Remember your hope is in God. If you feel powerless—choose to use your weapons and your authority in Christ. Remember God's got your back! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Satan is seeking after your time and is diligently working to delay you, believing that by stealing your days, years, and even decades, it will be too late for you to fulfill your Christ calling. However, he is gravely mistaken! For your times are in God's hands. He is the Redeemer of time and the Restorer of years. Paul wrote, "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time" (Colossians 4:5). The word "time" in the Greek is the word "kairos," meaning "time," "season," "opportunity," "due measure," or "right time." This is the turning point for you to seize what was lost and retrieve those squandered opportunities, for they are now within your grasp. It is the Lord, the Restorer of time, who will make this possible. He is causing such a divine acceleration on this surge, and you will catch up to the plans He has laid out for you as if no time had ever slipped away. Did He not say in His Word, "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron" (Isaiah 45:2)? God is the only one who can make crooked places straight. He alone can reverse poor choices, restore lost years, and give back missed opportunities. This is who He is and what He is doing for you!

Jesus takes me to His purpose for my life, he leads me to refreshing living water flowing from within me. (Psalm 23:2) I am joyful with gladness in Your presence and will sing and praise Your power. (Psalm 21:6,13) Be exalted, O Lord, In Your strength, and in your salvation how greatly I rejoice! (Psalm 21:1,13) I will not be shaken because I trust in the lovingkindness of the Lord and his willingness to bless me. (Psalm 21:6,7) The Lord rescues me, delivers me, and delights in me because I am committed to Him. (Psalm 22:8) The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1) He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised. (Psalm 23:3) Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are in me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4) You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. (Psalm 23:5) Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in you, O Lord, forever. (Psalm 23:6) Why pray the Psalm scriptures out loud? It is hard to think about something other than what you are talking about. Praying out loud the scriptures solves the problem of the wandering mind. -- spoken words speak to the soul and have the power of raising thoughts in the soul. The Psalm scriptures speak of God in the Highest manner which most fully expresses the power and presence of God. Strong's definition for "meditate" - HAGAH (Greek) - means to imagine. First pray the scripture out loud -- then pray the scripture back to God. This prayer can be the prayer of thanksgiving, supplication, or praying the greatness of God and the benefits of God. The first thing that you are to do when you are upon your knees, is to shut your eyes, and with a short silence let your soul place itself in the presence of God. When you direct any of your petitions to Jesus let it be: thou art the radiance of thy Father's glory. Thou art the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end of all things: Thou has destroyed the power of the devil and hast overcome death. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
