There is a lot of confusion on the timing of events in Revelation, I am going to place the events in Chronological order according to when the Events occurred. This seems to confuse many people, we actually have many people who believe the Seals have already been broken. We have some who put forth many ideas that seem inconsistent with the actual scriptures. I am doing this for a reference point to those interested. Revelation 1-3 is of course Jesus speaking to the Seven Churches. This really doesn't need to be discussed in this endeavor, its self explanatory. Revelation 4, John has been hearing Jesus' voice in Rev. 1-3, now he is in the Spirit, and is in Heaven, or sees a vision of Heaven. His vision begins as the 70th Week of Daniel begins on earth, the 24 Elders are in heaven in Rev. 4 as is the Church in Rev 5. We see this same Church in Rev. 7 and Rev. 19. The 24 Elders and the Four Beasts with Six Wings are continually praising God Almighty. In Rev. 5 we see an Angel announces their is a Sealed Scroll of God, and announces there is no man in heaven or on earth that is Worthy to open the Sealed Book. John cries, but an Angel tells him to Stop!! Jesus the Lamb is Worthy, he is not a man per se, but he is the Son of God who was slain for our sins, the Lamb of God. Jesus takes the Sealed Scroll from God Almighty, he is shown to be God also by the designation of having Seven eyes and Seven spirits, he sees all and is everywhere at once. The 24 Elders and four beasts fell down before the Lamb, the had harps and golden vials which are the prayers of the Saints (Israel's Saints on earth), then the 24 and 4 sing Worthy is the Lamb, and praise him for redeeming them out of every, Nation, tongue, people and kindred !! This denotes the Church is in Heaven. The Saints prayers are Israel, who have repented and turned to God just before the Abomination of Desolation (AoD), as Malachi 4:5-6 says. The Church is thus shown in Rev. 7, just after God Seals the 144,000. I personally do not know if the 144,000 is a real number of if it stands for All Israel, 12 is deemed a number of fullness by God, and we have 12 x 12 here. I am not willing to say I know for sure, either way, this is about Israel only, and God does protect Israel in the Wilderness for 1260 Days. Revelation 4,5,7,19 are pretty much the same vision, just a continuation of sequenced events. Rev. 4. God Almighty is Worthy. Rev. 5. The Lamb is Worthy. Rev. 7. The 144,000 are protected, the Church is is Heaven and is shown to have come out of every nation. Rev. 19. The Church is shown in Heaven for the Full Seven Year period of the Tribulation. Moving on, Revelation Chapter 6: The most Important chapter as per the Time-lines of God/Jesus. The Wrath of the Lamb is brought forth, Jesus opens the Seven Seals and allows destruction and chaos to come upon man-kind. Revelation 13 happens here, as does Rev. 12 where Israel flees into the Wilderness, as does Rev. 17 where the Anti-Christ/Beast destroys all Religions and thus all False Religions, thus the Harlot is destroyed by the Kings (Rev. 17:16) at this very time. The Anti-Christ/Beast is a Man, he is allowed to come forth by Jesus, Satan of course has been trying to create a one world governance for ages, but God/Jesus has never allowed it to come to pass, thus Paul speaks about the Holy Spirit restraining him from coming forth in Thessalonians. Now Jesus "Opening" the Seals, is only Jesus allowing Satan, who has now been cast out of Heaven, to bring forth the Man of Sin/Anti-Christ as the One World Dictator. This is the Lambs Wrath, but the inhabitants of earth do not realize it until the 6th Seal is opened, because that Seal is easily recognizable via the Scriptures in Joel 2:31 and Matthew 24:29. The Sun turning dark, the moon turning to blood and a Great Earthquake as never seen before, to go along with Heavens being shaken. Nevertheless, the Anti-Christ is allowed to come forth because of the Lambs Wrath at man-kind. Each Seal is meant to show Jesus is bringing these things to pass as Judgment, The White Horse represents the Conquering Anti-Christ/Beast, the Red Horse represents what the Beast being in charge brings to pass on man-kind. He will will bring War, Violence, Death, Destruction and Disease. He deceives to gain power by offering all parties Peace and Security, but of course he is a liar just like his father Satan. The Black horse is Famine and judgment, the Pale horse is Death/Disease and Hades/Grave. A 1/4 of all men will be killed. This comes from Conquering, and from demanding of all men that they worship the Beast as God, or die. Thus the Kings in league with the Beast do away with all Religions, there is no place for Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. etc. So the Harlot (Rev. 17:16) is Judged at this time, Israel is chased into the Wilderness, all Israelis who do not flee will be made to worship the Beast as God or die, the Remnant of Christ (Rev. 12:17) will also be murdered, unless they worship the Beast. The 5th Seal is opened as a testimony against man-kind, the Martyrs of Christ are told they must wait until their fellow brethren have been killed also, meaning they must wait until the Anti-Christ/Beasts 42 Month reign is over, then they will be redeemed and raised from the dead. The Church is in Heaven (Rev. 4,5,7 and 19) the Remnant pf the Church is on earth, and they are being murdered. Jesus now opens the 6th Seal, a Great Earthquake like never before hits, the Sun is Darkened, the Moon turns Blood Red and Meteorites hit the earth, man-kind now realizes they are in the Wrath of God, they have been deceived and for many its too late, they have already taken the Mark of the Beast, so they must try and join the Beast in defeating God, that is their only hope, and it is futile, of course. This is why they worship the Dragon and the Beast in Revelation 13 (Rev. 13 is happening at this same time as Rev 6 of course), their fate is set. But when it finally hits the they are in Gods Wrath they cry out for the rocks to hide them from the face of the Lambs Wrath, for "The Day of the Lord" has come upon them swiftly. They realize they are in the Day of the Lord, exactly what the Thessalonians had feared, its a 3.5 year period of Gods Wrath. It covers the Lambs Wrath (Seals) the Holy Spirits Wrath (Trumpets) and the Fathers Wrath (Vials). All three are Gods Wrath of course. The Two-Witnesses of course are active at this same time. They have shown up just before the AoD happens (Malachi 4:5-6), and they turn Israel back unto God, thus all Israel is saved, just as Isaiah and Paul stated, not every Jew, but Israel as a nation turns back unto God. God has given us the clues to the riddle to understand all of these players timing. Its rally very easy, but yet I still get NO,You are WRONG, even though I can't be wrong as per the Math (2 + 2 = 4). The Two-Witnesses timeline is 1260 Days of preaching and testifying. The Beasts reigns for 42 Months, Israel Flees to the Wilderness for 1260 Days.............It is all Gods ingenious planning that gives us exactly how everything goes down. We know the Two-Witnesses have to show up before the Abomination of Desolation happens because Malachi 4:5-6 tells us that Elijah will turn Israel back to God before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, and because the Two-Witnesses die at the end of the Second Woe........Before the Anti-Christs 42 month reign is over, so if he reigns for the EXACT SAME TIME in length, 42 Months = 1260 Days, then they have to show up on the scene before the Beast comes to power !! There is no other answer, and we understand this because the Math can't be questioned. Its plain for everyone to see. So the Two-Witnesses show up, turn Israel back to God just as Zechariah 12:10 and 13:1 says, then when the Anti-Christ/Beast comes onto the scene, Israel Flees to the Wilderness and is protected by God for 1260 Days (Rev. 12). It all fits very nicely, and Gods time-line makes it unmistakable. Since Revelation 18 is Babylon (Governments of the World/Statue of Daniel 2) being Judged, that happens in part at this time also. The Seals are a judgment against the Governments of the World that have thrown in with the Beast and the Dragon/Satan. Thus 1/4 of man-kind is slain, the Sun is Darkened, the Moon turns Red, Meteorites hit the earth and a Great Earthquakes shakes the world. As we go forth, each set of Judgments become more violent in nature until we come to the last three Woes, the last Woe is the Seven Vials of Gods Wrath, the very last of which Destroys Babylon (Rev. 16:19) once and for all. IT IS DONE !! There is no actual Revelation 17 or 18 as per REAL TIME EVENTS. The Harlot is Judged in Rev. chapter 6, and Babylon is Judged by all of the Seals, Trumpets ad Vials of Gods Wrath. (Revelation 6 is the most important chapter when it comes to understanding the time-line of God per Revelation.) Revelation 7 is the Sealing of the 144,000 and the Church in Heaven that came out of the great tribulation, the 2000 year period of tribulation that the Church goes through during the Church Age. We know they are from every Nation and Tongue and they are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Just as Rev. 5,6, 7 and 19 go together, Rev. 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15 and 16 all go together. Rev. 10, 13, 17 and 18 are each on their own in that that they tell a story/vision that seems set unto itself. Rev. 13 goes with Rev. 6 as per the timing, but its revealing to us the False Prophet, the Mark of the Beast and that the Beast is a Man. Revelation 8 is the the Seventh Seal being sounded. It brings forth the Seven Trumpet Judgments. It of course happens after the Seven Seals, all of the Seals/Trumpets and Vial happen in Sequence, many of the other chapters of Revelation of course happen out of sequence or overlap. This thread isn't really about the Seals/Trumpets/Vials damage to man-kind, its about the SEQUENCES OF REVELATION, so there is no need to mention the Trumpets effects on the world, we all know what that brings forth. My Revelatin 6 Commentary was so long because it is the linchpin around which all of the Revelation time-line is revealed unto us. This is why God mentions the Middle of the Week in Daniel 9:27 and mentions the Time, times and 1/2 time in Daniel in a few places. This is why the Day of the Lord and Gods Wrath are mentioned in various places throughout the bible. That all happens in REVELATION CHAPTER 6. The Fleeing of Israel into the Wilderness also happens there, the Two-Witnesses come to turn Israel back to God, just before the AoD happens in Rev. 6, that chapter is key to most all of the End Time Prophecies as per the TIMELINES. Revelation 9 is the 5th and 6th Trumpets being sounded, better known as the 1st and 2nd Woes. The 2nd Woe is stretches forth into chapter 11 also, because the Two-witnesses die just after the 2nd Woe in Rev. 11. The 1st Woe is the Demonic horde being released from the bottomless pit, and Apollyon is released here also, he is King over them, he is the one that kills the Two-Witnesses in Rev. 11. This Demonic horde is allowed to maim and hurt mankind for 5 months, but not to kill them. The 2nd Woe is the 200 Million Horsemen, I think this is an Angelic Army of God, they have Breastplates like the High Priests of God whereas the Demonic horde has Breastplates of Iron like Rome. They slay a 1/3 of all the people left on earth. We now have 7 Billion plus people, close to 8 billion probably,so lets say there is a Billion plus Christians who are Raptured, that would leave 6 Billion people on earth. 1/4 or 1.5 Billion will be slain by the Anti-Christ/Beast leaving 4.5 Billion people, now here again, 1/3 of mankind are slain, or 1.5 Billion people again, leaving 3 Billion on earth. The reason I think these are Angelic beings is two-fold, they have the Breastplates of the High-priests and they destroy via "Plagues of God" because mankind is still worshiping devils made of Gold, silver, brass, stone and wood, just like in Daniel ch. 5, where Babylon is Destroyed (MENE, MENE, TEKEL) for the same reason. Remember, Babylon is being destroyed by the Seals, Trumpets (Woes) and Vials. Look below, that's what is happening. The 200 Million are of God, they are not men. Rev. 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Revelation 10 is mostly a Mystery. There were seven thunders uttered but we are not privy to what they mean. It seems to me that we are being told that when the Seventh Angel sounds TIME will be no more, or the time will be up for man-kinds reign on earth as well as Satan's. As per the timeline of the vision, I don't think its really knowable, this is mostly a very secretive chapter. Revelation 11 of course is about the two-witnesses, but John is first told to measure the Temple of God and told the outer court is given to the Gentiles for the "HOLY CITY" is to be trodden under foot for 42 Months. Notice Jerusalem is called the HOLY CITY. Not a Harlot !! The Two-Witnesses have the power to pray forth all manner of plagues down onto the Earth, this starts just before Revelation 6 and lasts all the way unto the the 2nd Woe, just before the 3rd Woe or all Seven Vials. The Second Woe overlaps the Two-Witnesses deaths, they die in Jerusalem, which is not mentioned, but it is stated it is spiritually known as Sodom and Egypt, and its the place where our Lord died. Thus everyone knows its Jerusalem without John mentioning Jerusalem, so Rome would not be accusing anyone of sedition/treason since they had destroyed Jerusalem. Everyone knew that God had turned His back on Israel and Jerusalem. The whole world rejoices when Apollyon kills the Two-Witnesses who they felt brought forth all of the plagues against them via prayer. The Two-Witnesses are raised up by God and called to heaven while all the earth watches. An Earthquake again comes upon Man-kind, notice just before the 7th Seal there is a Great Earthquake, likewise just before the 7th Trumpet there is a Great Earthquake, and just before the 7th Vial there is a Great Earthquake when Jesus lands on the Mt. of Olives, these are WARNINGS to man-kind of impending doom. There is One Woe left, and that is to come upon man-kind very quickly. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. The Seventh Angel Sounds, and God takes Dominion, he is about to destroy the last vestiges of Evil with His Seven Vials of Wrath. Revelation 12 is only showing two things, Satan is cast out of Heaven at the mid-way point of the 70th Week, and Israel Flees to the Wilderness at the same point in time. God protects Israel (Woman). The Remnant of the Church who became Christians after the Rapture, becomes the Anti-Christ/Beasts target. Verses 1-6 only encodes the story by using Genesis 37:9. Revelation 13 is of course happening at the Mid-way point or during Rev. 6, that is when the Anti-Christ/Beast comes forth onto the scene. He arises out of the Sea, and the False Prophet follows suite. He is shown to be a MAN, and he demands to be worshiped as God, all that follow him must take the Mark of the Beast, all who refuse must be Killed. All Religions are wiped out, only the Beast can be worshiped, thus you serve the Beast or die, there is no middle ground. Its Humanism (The number of his name is 666) or death. Revelation 14 is the Harvest of the World, Jesus lands on Mt Zion, its Judgment time, this actually happens in Rev. 16, this is just a vision of the Harvest unto itself, an in depth explanation of the Harvest and here we also see Babylons Fall. The 144,000 we can't be sure who they are, I never say with a certainty who/what something is if I am not sure. We do know they are the First-fruits redeemed of the earth. An Angel with the everlasting Gospel preaches the Gospel (as a witness to their sins I assume) unto every nation and kindred. Another Angel announces Babylon is Fallen, this actually happens at Rev. 16:19, in the same exact sequence, Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives, then destroys Babylon (The Nations that gather against God and Israel). The Angel says Babylon made the nations drink of the wine of her fornication's. This can only be Babylon, the Beast Nation that thrust False Religion onto all the World. Israel may have sinned against God, and served false gods, but they in no wise carried forth these false Religions and false gods to the nations of the world, Babylon is the Mother of False Religions/False gods. Babylon is the Head of Gold of the Statue, and we know the statue gets Smashed by Jesus Christ the Rock, and then the Kingdom is given to the Saints. The third Angel then warns all, if anyone has taken the Mark of the Beast, the same will be judged and tormented with fire forever and ever. The Angel announces that the Saints that die will be rewarded henceforth, they just need to be patient. Then the cycle is Thrust in and the Wine-press of Gods Wrath is revealed OUTSIDE the City meaning of course at Armageddon, and the Blood comes up to the horses bridles. This Chapter basically happens in Rev. chapter 16, but this is an enhanced telling of the Harvest. Revelation 15 is of course the Seven Vials of Gods Wrath being delivered from he Four Beasts unto the Seven Angels. Revelation 16 is the Seven Vials of God being poured out upon man-kind. These are all manner of plagues, sores, diseases etc. etc. The 6th Vial is poured out and the Euphrates is dried up, just like in Daniel, and then Babylon falls. These Nations gather themselves against God and Israel at Meggido, better known as Armageddon. The 7th Vial is then poured out, and Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives just like Zechariah 14 says, and he then defeats Babylon (The Nations that Gather at Armageddon Rev. 16:19 Babylon/The Nations FELL) the Anti-Christ/Beast and all of his Kings and Armies, just like Rev. 14 says and just like Rev. 19 says. All three are basically the same events from different perspectives. Rev. 14 is the Harvest, Babylon is Defeated and Harvested to the Grave. Rev. 16 is Seven Vials being Poured out. Babylon Falls when Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives and destroys them Without Hand/By the Holy Spirit. Rev. 19 is the Church Marrying the Lamb, then Returning with the Lamb to defeat the Anti-Christ and his Minions. Revelation 16 ends the Reign of Man-kind, the Angel says; IT IS DONE !! Revelation 17 is if course as I explained in the Rev. 6 commentary, the Harlot being Destroyed, it also explains who the Seven Headed Beast and the Harlot is in full detail, but the Harlot is actually killed off in real time during Rev. chapter 6. The Harlot is All False Religion. When the Harlot is killed off in Rev. 17:16 we see that the Kings hate her and burn her. (But they love Babylon or World Governance) Revelation 18 is Babylon being Destroyed by the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments. God tells His people to come out of Babylon, that is a Warning for the Jewish peoples to come back to Israel, if they stay in the Babylonian countries of Europe, they will have no shot at survival when all of this comes down. Babylon being inhabited by Devils only means that Satan is cast down from Heaven and Apollyon and his horde has been released from the bottomless pit. The commerce of Babylon will be destroyed when Gods plagues start reigning down, of course. When Babylon is burned and destroyed, the Kings will cry and lament her demise. (Babylon = World Governance = The Statue of Gold, Silver, Brass, Iron and Clay) Revelation 19 is the Church in Heaven for the full Seven Year Period. She marries the Lamb, puts on White garments, then we ride White horses back to earth with Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, then he defeats the Anti-Christ/Beast and his Armies without hand/by the Spirit of his mouth, and he casts the Beast and False Prophet straight into hell (Rev 19:20), just like Daniel 7:11 says. Revelation 20 is Satan being bound for 1000 years in the bottomless pit, then the Judgment seats are set up for the Beheaded/Martyrs of the Tribulation in 20:4, they are judged at this point in time and found to be righteous. They will live and serve with Jesus on earth for 1000 years. The Evil men of Satan will remain in the grave until the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth is over, then they will be judged after Satan is loosed for a season then conquered once and for all after he deceives the nations yet again. All the dead will be Judged at this time. Revelation 21 is the New Heaven and New Earth coming down, no use going into detail, we know this is at least 1000 years into the future. Revelation 22 is of course us living in Heaven with Jesus/God forever and ever. Glory to God.

(Concerning the Priests) Ezekiel 44:18 - "Linen turbans shall be on their heads, and linen undergarments shall be on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat." Sweat is the result of exerting our own strength, so sweat speaks of a ministry that comes from our own efforts. If we are going to be the priests of the Lord, we must not take on anything that makes us sweat. Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My load is light." A yoke speaks of work, but when we are yoked with the Lord, it will be His strength that does the work, and we just get carried along for the ride! It is the Spirit that He has given to us that will do the work, just as He did from the beginning. Acts 7:48 - "The Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands." Acts 17:25 - "Neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything." All of our best efforts will not accomplish anything for Him. Affirmations: I AM SIMPLY CALLED TO OBEDIENCE AND ABIDING IN HIM. WHEN I COME TO REST IN HIM, HE WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH ME, AND I WILL ACTUALLY FIND REST AND REFRESHMENT AS HE DOES IT. "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand." - Zechariah 4:10 NLT It's time to let your expectation out of the box of fear and intimidation - He's taking your little portion into His BIG hands and causing supernatural multiplication in areas of your life, ministry, CALLINGas His sons and daughters. We have all heard that the atmosphere of EXPECTATION is the breeding ground for miracles. Indeed, this is such a true declaration to keep in the forefront, especially NOW. Rise up in full faith and in the confidence our God knowing this is your hour of multiplication.and "He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and Its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers." - Psalm 1:3 Be not afraid of weariness, but see it as a season of watering; to where He will water you, and water you, and water you, and water you. When you run, you will carry the Rivers of Life to and fro, and also swim upstream, against adversity. You will know and recognize the current of the Holy Spirit, and you will learn and recognize, how to flow with the His flowing. You will swim against the drowning currents and find Him as your personal lifeguard. You will understand, the current from under will cause you to rise up, to walk on the water, with the faith that He has been grooming in you for a long time. You, the branch, and the life that He deposits in you -- you then will deposit into withered trees, to those who are dry. The water that will be drawn up out of the root of their pain, you will merely pump it into the vein of their hopelessness. When you're in isolation, do not see it as a season of abandonment, but see it as the season of being prepared, behind closed doors, for presentation -- it will be a platform higher in the heavenlies, for He has promised you in His Word that He is taking His own from glory to glory in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 1:5 - "The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." It has become a popular saying that we should not seek the gifts, but the Giver. This sounds noble, but it is contrary to the Word of God which exhorts us "pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts" (1 Corinthians 14:1).to Love is the foundation upon which spiritual authority, and, thereby, the gifts of the Spirit, operates. Jesus expresses His love to us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He healed the sick because He loved them and did not want them to suffer needlessly. He gave words of knowledge because He loved the people and wanted to impact them with the reality that God really did know them. The gifts of the Spirit enabled Jesus to do something, not just feel something, with His love. Affirmations: KNOWING THAT LOVE CAST OUT EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS THE MOVE OF GOD THROUGH ME GIVES ME A HIGHER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY I NEED TO VIGOROUSLY PURSUE LOVING ALL PEOPLE. I EXHORT OTHERS INTO KINGDOM REALITIES. Luke 6:8 - "But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the crippled hand,'Stand up and come here to the front.' The man got up and stood there.'" Observation: Jesus is telling me to come out of the back row of life; come out of darkness; come out of my comfort zone and launch out in a great leap of faith toward Him! "Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom." - Song of Solomon 2:15 Ask the Lord to reveal to you the little foxes that are trying to crush the vine that will bring forth the new wine. Get a vision of your future identity. Ask the Lord to send a new wind and blow upon your garden. Ask the Lord to come into your vineyard. Let Him prophetically reveal to you the fruit you are going to bring forth in the future. Enter into His PURPOSE for your life. Allow the Lord to set you apart for the future. Let new joy and gladness arise. Declare you will sleep in peace and you will feel safe in the presence of God. It's time for new wine. It's time for the new wine skin. Enter in! "The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me; I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; I have set the Lord continually before me; In your presence is fullness of joy." - Psalm 16:5-8,11 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Psalm 141:2 - "May my prayer be counted as incense before Thee; the lifting up of my hands as the evening offering." Revelation 8:4 - "And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand." Therefore, if we are to be His dwelling place, prayer should be our highest priority.Place the altar of incense represented prayer and intercession. The Lord said that His house was to be "a house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7) How can we dwell continually in the presence of the Lord to perform the divine service? Exodus 30:7,8 - "And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps. And when Aaron trims the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations." Aaron was to light the incense as his first duty each morning, and as the last thing he did at night, but there would be "perpetual incense before the Lord." The Lord does not just want us to talk to Him a couple of times a day; He wants us to abide in Him. If we really are His temple, and His Spirit abides in us, how is it that we ignore Him so much? The Lord wants to have fellowship with us in everything we do. The truth is that if the eyes of our hearts were opened we would see Him in all that we do, and the reality of His presence would actually be greater that which we are seeing with our physical eyes. Instead of "thinking to ourselves," He wants us to be conversing with Him. If we take the time to properly light this fire the first thing in the morning, and then as the last thing we do at night, soon we will find ourselves raising perpetual prayer as incense before the Lord, coming from our hearts. Affirmations: I AM ABLE TO STAY IN A PERPETUAL ATTITUDE OF PRAYER SINCE I BEGIN AND END MY DAY WITH PRAYER. THROUGH PRAYER I KNOW HIS PRESENCE CONTINUALLY. I AM CALLED TO BE HIS DWELLING PLACE. 1 Corinthians 1:5 - "That in every thing you are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge." Every time we confess God's word Jesus' enrichment ministry adds another grain of faith, another bit of anointing, to our faith and to our words. "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 Ask the Lord for revelation. Ask the Lord for the building plan for your future. Ask the Lord for keys. Just as Peter connected with the Father in Heaven, connect with the Father in a way that you begin to unlock the Kingdom of God within you. Let the Lord change your water into new wine (John Chapter 2). He used the pots of religious ritualism to fill them with new wine. Ask the Lord to remove the spirit of religion from you. Let His glory begin to shine. Be willing to let go of any old method that is operating in your life. Notice the teaching after the wineskin. The lady who had an issue of blood for 12 years pressed through and touched Jesus. Jesus was on His way to awaken the 12-year-old daughter of Jairus. Declare that now is the time to press through into the new, even in your weakness. Declare that what needs to wake up will wake up now. There is a time when the old season ends. Allow the old to end and the new to begin. "Arise my darling, my beautiful one, and come along. For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers have already appeared in the land; the time has arrived for pruning the vines." - Song Of Solomon 2:10-12 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."- Ezekiel 37:3 NASB God is always standing by, ready to breathe new life into anything lifeless when we ask. He is there in our spiritual springtime and in the cold, winter months. And He is even closer, hovering nearby in our darkest hours, according to Psalm 34:18 where it says: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." This scripture asks the question, "...can these bones become living people again?" The word living does not only mean to come back to life after being physically dead, it also applies to brokenness, a dying dream, a losing struggle, and times of hopelessness and despair in any area of our lives. To live means to be refreshed, rejuvenated, revived, or to be given the promise of life. It also means to be restored or renewed—or simply to be made whole again. Just as the wind breathed new life into the dry bones from the Ezekiel passage, God wants to resurrect our spirits as well. He wants to welcome us into His living presence and impart that same resurrection life to us, breathing new life into the dead places in our lives. And while some may come along and say, "God can't use us," God is saying otherwise, and His is the last word on the subject! "Therefore, prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O My people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel." - Ezek. 37:12 Romans 8:29 - "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Affirmation: AS I REACH FOR CHRISTLIKENESS, MY LOVE FOR GOD BECOMES RICHER, MY WITNESS TO SINNERS MORE POWERFUL, AND MY SECRET LIFE HOLY. "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him." - Psalm 62:5 When things are going a different direction, we have to know that our identity is -- to fellowship with the Living God. Where are you with Him this day? Are you in the fold of His arms? Are you where His hand can rest upon your head, and give you right thinking and right understanding? Are you so close that He needs only to whisper, and you feel His breath, and know exactly what He is sending you to do, and the message He will send you to carry? Let the distance cause you to come closer and closer and closer. Learn to run into His arms. Learn to acknowledge His presence in every hour of the day, until you become so aware that you too cannot escape His presence, just like David. Because if you too were locked in the pits of Hell, He would come and get you, for you are His property. "O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;" - Psalm 63:1 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Luke 19:12,13 - He "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed said: king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.' A mina represents the truths of God's word, our inheritance in Christ, the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, and the covenant blessing that are given to each believer. Each individual has the same; no one is given extra to start with. This parable speaks of what every one of us as believers possesses in Christ. These blessings are ours in Christ, but it is our faith that appropriates and manifests them here on earth. And it's our obedience and giving that causes them to multiply. This is why the nobleman, who represents Jesus, says to his servants (us) - "Do business till I come". We are to take what we have been given and multiply it to the glory of God. Luke 19:20,24 - Then another servant came and said, 'Sir here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' The master More revelation will be given to him that has. This involves asking, seeking, and knocking(Matthew 7:7,8).said "For I say to you, that to everyone who has, more will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him." This parable shows that each man had the potential of multiplying his mina many times over. In regard to our personal lives, we can affect and build the kingdom of God as much or as little as we desire; the choice is ours. Affirmations: I ALLOW THE SEED OF INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL WITHIN ME TO BE RELEASED AND DISPLAY THE GLORY OF GOD TO THE WORLD! I FORGET THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND, AND PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. Hebrews 4:15 - "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." PAIN IS NOT MY ENEMY BUT MERELY THE PROOF THAT I HAVE ONE. Psalm 34:19 - "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." "Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!" - Psalm 24:7 Take up your calling in Christ, for the King of Glory longs to come in -- but will you recognize Him? How will you recognize Him? What if you're asleep in your spirit? Shake off the negative words. Let them drop off of you. Do not let the enemy live in the darkness of your words. Do not cover him with words of unbelief, for he hides and brings torment with fear, and aggravation, and regret, and remorse. Expose him by the light of the Word and His presence. You are His mouthpiece. But how can you speak what He tells you to speak unless you have come with praise and thanksgiving, and receive that which He would give to you? Let the Holy Spirit quicken you -- you are the temple -- His presence dwells in your temple. Claim His ever-filling. Claim His ever-presence. Claim and remember His faithfulness.

John 14:30 - ".......for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." Pauperhood is relegated to the children of a lesser god. It is the condition of slaves who have yet to discover their freedom on the other side of the river of baptism and find themselves still captured by the dark prince of torture and torment. He is the one who assigns them to a life of poverty, pain, and depression through a diabolical play of illusion. He hopes to conceal their true identity forever. This evil prince feeds his captives the poisonous rations of religion, convincing them they will fill their soul's hunger for righteousness. These slaves, blindfolded by their sin, think that they are laboring for their own freedom and work to pave their way out of prison with bricks built from the miry clay of self-righteousness. Yet, unknowingly, brick by brick, they are erecting their own chambers of death. Worse yet, they birth children into the same darkness, ultimately creating legacies of bondage with mind-sets of hopelessness. Affirmations: I AM NOT JUST A SOLDIER OF THE CROSS; I AM AN HEIR TO THE THRONE. THE DIVINE NATURE PERMEATES MY SOUL, TRANSFORMS MY MIND, TRANSPLANTS MY HEART, AND TRANSFIGURES MY SPIRIT. I WAS MADE TO BE A VESSEL OF HIS GLORY AND VEHICLE OF HIS LIGHT. Psalm 42:1 - "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God." Affirmation: I ONLY QUALIFY FOR WHAT I PURSUE. Jeremiah 29:13 - "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." Ecclesiastes 9:10 - "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him." - John 6:53,54,56 Some have gotten away from the true knowledge of the power of His Blood, and yet they wonder where the power is. In many cases the "Blood of the Gospel" has been put aside; to pat the hand of others and give sympathy. And really what happened was that it became a counterfeit compassion that really encouraged the flesh, rather than bringing the flesh into obedience to the Word. Declare His Word to come forth. Command His Word to become alive and active. Let His Word devour your flesh, so that you can be so devouring with His Word, that all that will not obey, will have to bend, because His Word is eternal. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Acts 10:38, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him." Jesus was always taking territory. God calls us to invade and have an impact. We don't need to wait around for something to happen then "react" to it. Rather our actions should be making the enemy react to us. We are in a battle to see people restored to the Father, restored in their lives and made whole in the presence of Jesus. Be intentional about all that you do. Know that Jesus has given you power, authority, influence, and a life PURPOSE in the Holy Spirit to see lives changed. Expand the horizons of the possibilities in what God can do through you. He has no limitations and intends to overflow our lives with His life-changing presence. Philippians 3:7,8 - "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ." Paul considered everything prized by his culture worthless compared with the awesome experience of knowing Jesus. Affirmations: MY TREASURE IS IN JESUS. I LOVE JESUS ABOVE ALL ELSE. JESUS CALLS ME TO A HIGHER LOVE, TO EMBRACE THE BURNING AND PASSIONATE HEART OF GOD. "God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity He restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him." - Romans 8:29 The Message Seek first the Kingdom of God. Let His righteousness do rightness all around you. For, understand, when those come to oppose you – lift up His right hand, His Word, against that. For His left hand will sustain you, and His right hand will give you the direction of counsel, by His Spirit. For He is raising up a people who are hungry to seek His Kingdom, hungry to taste of the Kingdom, and hungry to rule in the Kingdom. Understand and meditate; dwell upon His Word. Seek His face, for when you seek Him with your whole heart, absolutely, positively, unconditionally, you will find Him. For you must realize, He presents Himself to you, for His Kingdom is among you, and His Kingdom is within you. Change citizenships. Think of His Kingdom. Understand, as His Kingdom representative. As a citizen of His Kingdom – knowing His knowledge, knowing the authority He has given you in His name -- use it with His Spirit, for He will not leave you alone, but He will direct, lead, counsel, and anoint you. For He has called you to do the works of His Kingdom. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Ephesians 1:9 - "Making known to us the mystery of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). In accordance with His good pleasure which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him." Ephesians 1:17 - "For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation (of insight into mysteries and secrets) in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him." We cannot afford to live only in what we understand because then we don't grow or progress anymore; we just travel the same familiar roads we have traveled all of our Christian lives. It is important that we expose ourselves to impossibilities that force us to have questions that we cannot answer. It is a part of the Christian life, which is why the Christian life is called "the faith.' The normal Christian life is perfectly poised between what we presently understand and the unfolding revelation that comes to us from the realm of mystery. AFFIRMATIONS: I SEEK ON-GOING, LIFE-CHANGING REVELATION FROM GOD. ON-GOING REVELATION AND ENCOUNTERS WITH THE POWER OF GOD LAUNCH ME INTO UNDERSTANDING OF THINGS I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD BEFORE. I COME ALIVE TO THE WOOING OF GOD INTO INTIMACY SO I WILL KNOW HOW HE THINKS AND MOVES. Genesis 1:2 - "And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." If the Holy Spirit can make a glorious creation out of the most desolate place, He can bring forth a glorious new creation out of the most desolate, confused, and empty life. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:10,12 What would you do with the might of His Spirit? Would you allow it to flow out of you? Would you allow it to change you, and raise you up in His own glory? Do not let man cause you to fall, to slumber, or to come halfheartedly before His throne. But press forward, and come in BOLDLY, for you have an appointment through His Blood. Let His Blood come and transfuse back to you the might of His Spirit, so you too can do signs and wonders, and come to the understanding of who you are, and who He is. Come boldly. Come, allow Him to let His hand rest upon you, and give peace to your mind, peace to your heart, multiplication to your finances, answers if you need answers, and healing if you need healing. Come unto Him all that are heavily laden. Let Him alone be the one that gives you rest. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Matthew 6:26,27 - "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable that they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" Jesus used an analogy from nature to help explain prosperity. Some people interpret this passage to mean that, since God is supposed to take care of them, they don't need to do anything themselves. Therefore, they just wait for God to act. How does God feed birds? He provides for them, but He doesn't personally hand-deliver food to their nests! The birds don't just sit around and wait for God to stop by with their meals. When Jesus said the heavenly Father feeds the birds, He meant that everything they need has been made available for them, but they have to go and get it. God does not build a bird's nest. He provides the twigs. The bird has to find them, pick them up, and bring them back to the tree it has chosen for a home. God does not leave worms on the top of the ground every morning. The bird has to go digging for them. It has to keep working, working, working until it finishes building its nest. It has to keep working, working, working until it gets the worm. Sometimes, God doesn't give us all the resources we need to fulfill our visions because He has called other people to provide them for us. He provides everything, but He provides it after you begin the work of the vision. Your obedience to your vision affects not only your life but also the lives of those who will work with you. Affirmations: GOD WILL SUPPLY MY PROVISION, EVEN IF HE HAS TO HAVE SOMEONE CROSS THE DESERT TO GET IT TO ME. GOD HAS PROVISION FOR ME THAT NO ONE BUT HE KNOWS ABOUT. ALL THE RESOURCES I NEED ARE ALREADY IN PLACE; THEY WILL BECOME VISIBLE IN GOD'S TIMING ONCE I START PURSUING MY VISION. Jude 22: And of some have compassion, making a difference. Affirmation: MY HEART RELEASES THE COMPASSION OF JESUS CHRIST TO HELP DELIVER PEOPLE CAUGHT IN THE DECEPTION OF SIN AND DARKNESS AND SET THEM FREE. "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" - (Ephesians 2:4-6). As our minds are renewed and our faith grows, we take these realities as fact and live in the light of them. We come to know that we are above our enemies and refuse to walk in the flesh realm but take our place in Christ in the spirit realm. No longer will faith be a struggle, but a normal living in the realm of God. The spiritual realm places man where communion with God is a normal experience. We are not going to grovel in the earthly realm, but we are seated in the heavenly places with the Lord. Every Believer has the right, authority, and ability to minister out of the throne room just as Jesus did. "Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily" - (Colossians 1:28-29). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Acts 8:12 - "But when they believed the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ as Philip preached it, they were baptized, both men and women." A popular belief among Christians is that God wants to use us to help people see their sins and give them the choice of whether or not to receive Jesus. If we look more closely at what the Bible really declares as Jesus' message, we will have a plumb line to see just how off track we have veered with this sort of thinking. Jesus states clearly in John 16:8 that the Holy Spirit will come and convict the world of guilt in regard to sin. God's task is to convict people of sin, and ours is to love people. "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). And when we do love people, and also love one another, they will know that we are true followers of Jesus (John 13:35). When we use guilt-inducing methods to communicate Jesus' message, people usually respond by erecting walls and closing their minds to what we are saying. On the contrary, if we treat people in a kind and loving way, they generally tend to be very open and their walls recede. It is not for us to bring them to repentance; that's the Holy Spirits domain, and He accomplishes it much better than we ever could! Affirmations: IN MINISTERING TO NON-BELIEVERS I SEEK TO UNDERSTAND THEIR VALUES AND PERCEIVED NEEDS, AND AS MUCH OF THEIR BACKGROUND AND FRAME OF REFERENCE AS I CAN; THEN I WILL KNOW BETTER HOW TO RELATE TO THEM AND LEAD THEM TO CHRIST WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. I REALIZE THAT EVERY HUMAN BEING NOT ONLY WANTS BUT NEEDS TO BE IN THE ABUNDANT LIFE HERE AND NOW. Isaiah 53:3 - "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not." Affirmation: I OVERCOME REJECTION BECAUSE MY VISION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN APPROVAL. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:12 God is ready to bring a new understanding of the knowledge -- His Spirit desires that you would call out, you would decree His awesomeness, you would claim, and then revelation will come – with knowledge.you By meditating and declaring how awesome He is in your place, and know that wherever you go so does He. Wherever He leads you, He goes before you, and He goes behind you. Know that you cannot escape His presence but you carry His presence. He wants you not only transformed, but wants you to be performing the fruit bearing good works that He has set before you (your CALLING in Christ), and it will be through the power of the Gospel coming through you. And as you let the power of the Gospel come through you, then you will be the Gospel spilling out, good news spilled, for it will come spilling out of you; for it has been placed in you, not only for yourself but for others. Ask for revelation -- give Him a platform for manifestation, for He chooses to declare His own glory through you. And in this, a hungry, dying world will come to the revelation that not only is He alive and well, but that they are His, and He longs to be theirs. "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:" - 1 Corinthians 2:4 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Exodus 33:18,22,23 - Then Moses said, "I pray Thee, show my Thy glory!" And it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. "Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen." When Moses saw the Lord's back, what did he see? When we think of seeing His glory we think of everything from beautiful colors to some perception of His nature. Is it possible that Moses prophetically saw the stripes that were on His back? Remember, the Lord was crucified from the beginning. When He created the world He knew that He would also have to suffer and even die for it, yet He continued. There is nothing else that will ever more fully reveal His glory. When we truly behold what He did for us we will be changed. Colossians 1:13,16,17 - "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." 2 Corinthians 8:9 - "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich." Jesus never was poor. When the Bible says, Jesus became poor, it means He was poor in comparison to what He had in His heavenly home. Before Mary and Joseph went to the barn, they first went to the inn to get a room. Mary and Joseph had plenty of money to get a room at the inn. The problem was, the inn had no room for the Savior. Yes, Jesus was born in a manger, but not to teach us poverty. God was showing us that we were not making room for the Savior to be born in our lives. Affirmations: I MAKE ROOM FOR JESUS EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. THROUGH THE BLOOD THAT THE LORD JESUS SHED FOR ME, I AM ABUNDANCE. "Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Ephesians 5:20 Thankfulness takes the sting out of adversity. That is why He has instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: You give Him thanks (regardless of your feelings), and He gives you joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience—at times, blind obedience. Nonetheless, those who obey Him in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain. Thankfulness opens your heart to His Presence and your mind to His thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to SEE FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE. It is this Light of His Presence that removes the sting from adversity. "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." - Psalm 118:1 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Job 1:10 - "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land." As God built a hedge around Job, which limited Satan, so today He will do the same for any child of God who applies the blood to a given situation. The blood is the hedge that stops the Destroyer. Revelation 12:11 - "And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, and they did not love their lives to the death." Exodus 12:7,13 - "And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side-posts and on the upper door post of the houses....And the blood shall be to you and for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." Confessions: I OVERCOME ALL FEAR, DEPRESSION, UNBELIEF, WAVERING AND HALFHEARTEDNESS, DISCOURAGEMENT, TEMPTATION, AND SICKNESS BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY. MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH LOVE AS I GAZE ON JESUS' PRECIOUS BLOOD. BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE BLOOD IN MY HEART, I APPLY THE BLOOD WITH MY MOUTH OVER THE DOORPOSTS OF MY LIFE. Luke 5:4 - "When Jesus had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, 'Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."' Luke 5 is a great example of the Church in our day. We have been fishing all night and have not caught much. Many of us have not ventured out of the shallow water, out of the zones of safety and comfortableness, to find the fish where they are. The fish are in the deep water; they are outside the Church, and outside our opinions and prejudices. As we are obedient to God's call and venture into the deep water and into relationships with people "on the streets," we will be overwhelmed by the response and will need to network with other churches to accommodate the great numbers of people who will come to Jesus. Matthew 4:19 - And Jesus said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." "Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you won't become bored with being a Christian, nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be anxious to follow the example of those who receive all that God has promised them because of their strong faith and patience." - Hebrews 6:12 (Living Bible) Now is the time to press into the Lord for Fresh Empowerment and Activation for harvest in the coming season. We need to see a tremendous outpouring of the Power of the Holy Spirit for our current Time. As we go into this season we pray to see a notable increase in the Power of the Lord from the Fire of His Presence that will cause many to turn to Him. We need to pray for these seven blessings: 1. Greater Power 2. Greater Anointing 3. Greater Favor 4. Greater Flow of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit 5. Greater Evidence of the Fruit of the Spirit 6. Greater Doors and Influence through the favor of the Lord. 7. Greater Harvest Albert Finch Ministry

Matthew 16:19 - "Whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." God has always wanted to release truth to His people, backed by the Word, of things that are found in heaven but have no earthly parallel. Jesus said: "If I have told you of earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:12)have He was expressing a desire to reveal things to us about what's happening in the spiritual realm that have no corresponding earthly picture. Isaiah 9:7 - "Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end........." As His government increases in the earth, the Church will receive more and more revelation as we are engulfed in His glory. Affirmations: I COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE FATHER TO RELEASE ME INTO THE THINGS HE HAS PREDESTINED ME FOR SINCE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD. I HUNGER FOR AND RECEIVE REVELATION AS PART OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE. THAT REVELATION WILL HELP ME CARRY OUT MY EARTHLY ASSIGNMENTS WITH GREATER PRECISION AND WISDOM. John 1:1,14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Observation: IN MY LIFE GOD'S WORD BECOMES FLESH -- MY FLESH! "I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how He will answer my complaint. Then the Lord said to me, 'Write My answer plainly on tablets"....... - Habakkuk 2:1,2 We stand at our appointed posts as watchmen, ready for anything. We get away from external distractions, as Jesus did when he withdrew before dawn to isolated locations (see Mark 1:35). Quieting our internal noise, we watch to see what God may want to say: "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). When we hear something, we do something—write it down, pray from it, sound an alarm—whatever is appropriate. It is also easier to hear God's voice when you are performing automatic, mindless tasks such as driving the car, showering, exercising, washing the dishes or cleaning the house, especially if you are quietly praising God at the same time. He is more eager to speak to you than you are to hear from Him. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches......apart from Me you can do nothing." We were born to consult God to find out His purpose for our lives so that we can discover our vision. Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega." God is not only the Author of our vision but also our continuing Support as we progress toward its fulfillment. Prayer is what keeps us connected to the Vision-Giver. Prayer is where we receive the ability to continue the fight. Isaiah 40:31 - "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." When you have been pressed, criticized, and opposed, you can become weak in faith. When people attack your dream, you go to God. You don't try to explain and give an answer for everything because you can't explain anything to critics. Their motives are already contaminated, and they'll use your words against you. Through prayer, God encourages us to get back out in the fight of faith. Psalm 27:1 - "The Lord is my light and my salvation - who shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" Affirmations: SINCE I STAY CONNECTED TO GOD FOR THE RENEWAL OF MY PURPOSE, FAITH, AND STRENGTH - I WILL BE ABLE TO PERSEVERE TO VICTORY. I BASE MY PRAYERS ON GOD'S WORD TO BRING ME THROUGH DIFFICULTIES AND GIVE ME THE VICTORY THAT IS MINE. I STAY IN TOUCH WITH GOD SO THAT I AM NOURISHED IN BOTH LIFE AND VISION. "But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD's victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you!" - 2 Chronicles 20:17 God is the God of the breakthrough, but He uses our hands if you do your part, He will do His. Breakthrough happens when we take the first offensive step against the barriers in our life. Breakthrough happens when we say, "I m going to trust that God is going to supernaturally do the impossible." There is no progress without resistance: There is a spiritual battle over your breakthrough. We can only win the battle in the spirit. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside of them was superior to their circumstances. His name is Jesus. The voice of God is the master key to your supernatural breakthrough. Hear it and speak it. Agree with the decree. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Luke 9:62 - Jesus said to him. "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back (to the things behind) is fit for the kingdom of God. We are what the past has made us. Yet, we are commanded to not look back and to "forget.....what lies behind". With God, this is not impossible, for although the events of our lives are irreversible, our reactions to those events can still be changed. Philippians 3:13 - "But one thing I do (my one aspiration): forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead." As our reactions change, we change. Although we cannot alter the past, we can put our past upon the "altar" as an act of worship. A worshiping heart truly allows God to restore the soul. Romans 8:28 - "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God." The key for the fulfillment of this verse is that we become lovers of God in our spirits. When we are given to loving Him, all that we have passed through in life is washed in that love. It is redeemed and becomes good within us. Affirmations: GOD REACHES INTO MY EXPERIENCES AND REDEEMS ME FROM MY NEGATIVE REACTIONS. I FORGET MY PAST AND PRESS ON TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. EVER PRAISING GOD TRANSFORMS THE NEGATIVE ASSAULT OF THE ENEMY INTO A SPRING OF SWEET WATERS WHICH REFRESHES ME. 2 Corinthians 6:14,15 - "Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? How can Christ and the Devil agree?" Observation: EVERY RELATIONSHIP TAKES ME TOWARDS MY DREAMS OR AWAY FROM THEM. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." - John 1:14 When the Word became flesh, it didn’t just stop with Jesus. The Word is still becoming flesh as He tabernacles with you, living within your tent of flesh and blood and redeemed humanity. You are His habitation, His dwelling place, and He has established His throne within the chambers of your heart, as a living tabernacle of His glory. The Word becomes who you are DESTINED to be, within the realms of glory; of grace upon grace and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and favor upon favor and gift upon gift. For the Word must increase and consume your flesh, consume it and be glorified so that when they look upon you they will behold His Glory, and behold one who is indeed begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. "The Word was the true light that enlightens all men....but to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God -- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will but born of God." - John 1:12,13 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Ephesians 1:3,4 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. According as he has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love." Many people who are doing something significant for God in the world are doing it "without their own resources" because God doesn't want us to depend on our own abilities. Instead, He wants us to be obedient by putting the vision on paper and then looking to Him to generate the funds and other resources that are needed to support His own work. Your provision, however, is usually hidden until you act on your vision. Whatever you were born to do attracts what you need to do it. Therefore, you first have to establish what you want to do and begin to do it before the need can be met. Most people work in reverse. They want to see the provisions before they start, but faith doesn't work that way. When we take action, then God manifests the provision. Genesis 22:13,14 - "Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending sacrifice instead of his son! So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide." God already prepared everything you would need before He created you so that you could do what you were born to do. He knew what you needed because He chose you for your vision a long time ago. God tells us we don't have to worry about our provision because He has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Affirmations: I KNOW THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE ME A VISION WITHOUT PROVISION. I REALIZE THAT MY PROVISION IS USUALLY HIDDEN UNTIL I ACT ON MY VISION. Those who wait on Him and remain faithful to obey Him will soar. They will accomplish more NOW than ever before. Now is the time for the mature believers to prevail -- the tenacious ones who don't give up, who persist -- the faithful ones who set their face toward the goal and do not relent till it comes to pass. This is the hour for the warrior spirit to arise, the sons of the Lion of Judah! This is the time to excel and ascend. Cultivate that spirit of excellence. "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and innocent children of God -- without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Among whom you will appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life." - Philippians 2:14-16 He will grow your influence and enlarge your territory ( 1 Chronicles 4:10). Abide in Him, let Him abide in you. Only with His presence will you produce fruit that lasts. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"On this Matthew 16:18 -rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Where precisely are the gates of hell? Where does the devil sit in power? The mind is the gatekeeper of the Kingdom of God. It is the place of access, transition, and power. It follows that the gates of hell are set up in people's minds. Jesus made this clear: Matthew 16:23 - But He turned and said to "Get behind Me, satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."Peter, The devil is empowered by human agreement. That mental posture was a gate from He didn't say, "Peter, you devil worshiper!" He didn't say, "You are filled with all kinds of occult practices and deceits." He said, "Your mind is filled with the things of man."satan was released to bring Peter's destruction.which Humanity without Christ at the center is satanic in nature. When you've been given the Spirit of God, you lose the privilege of claiming, "I'm only human." Paul rebukes the church at Corinth for behaving like mere men (1 Corinthians 3:3). The gate of hell is in our minds any time we agree with a man-centered perspective or natural wisdom that does not know God. We empower demonic forces and become a gate to release his power to kill, steal, and destroy our lives. Affirmation: I AM A GATEWAY FOR HEAVEN'S REALITY TO TAKE OVER EVERY PART OF MY LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO I INFLUENCE, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL THE SPECIFIC SITUATION IS. Acts 4:33 - "And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all." Observation: THE POWER OF GOD THAT I EXPERIENCE IN LIFE IS MORE UP TO ME THAN IT IS UP TO THE LORD. IT'S MY ASSIGNMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE THE WORD ABIDING IN ME. Mark 10:51 - "And Jesus said to him, 'What do you want Me to do for you?' And the blind man said to Him, Master, let me receive my sight."' God is moved by faith, even though Jesus knew what Bartimaeus needed, He was waiting for a specific request and an expression of true faith. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh Matthew 7:7,8 -findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Romans 4:17 - "Even God who quickeneth the dead, and called those things which be not as though they were." Many people know what it means to have "common sense", which is sound, practical judgment. "Christian sense", on the other hand, involves seeing adverse circumstances through the eyes of faith and exercising your God-given authority to change those circumstances. Jesus taught His disciples how to change negative circumstances. The Bible tells us that He cursed a fig tree with words and with 24 hours it dried up from its (Mark 11:12-14; 20,21). In verses 22 and 23, Jesus explains how to achieve these kinds of results. In today's language He would probably say, "Have the God-kind of faith. Declare what God's Word says about your circumstances, no matter how great they are, and then expect results."roots Mark 11:22-24 - And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." Affirmations: THERE IS NO ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCE IN MY LIFE THAT I CANNOT OVERCOME WITH THE GOD-KIND OF FAITH. WHEN MY WORLD IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT I CAN GET IT BACK INTO ALIGNMENT. Romans 6:11 - "Likewise reckon ye yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." Affirmation: I DEEM MYSELF TO BE DEAD TO SIN, ENERGIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WALK IN THE RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS CHRIST. Song of Solomon 4:16 - "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden, and eat His pleasant fruits." This is a new day, let the Son arise with healing in His wings and let the wind of God take you to a new realm of faith and understanding in this hour for such a time as this. Choose life, and to live that life abundantly. It's not too late, it's time to begin again. It is the time for a new season of love and drinking of the new wine. It's time to be intoxicated with His love and come into the chamber – into His presence to meet with Him. He will meet with you in that secret place and show you the secrets of His heart. This is a time of consecration and separation of the world; but not of your relationships that are God ordained and in covenant commitment. Put off the old man and PUT ON THE NEW (Ephesians 4:24). This is an exhortation to discover and move forward in God's CALLING ON YOUR LIFE. Leave the familiar and breaking the cycle of your fleshly desires, ways mind-sets -- break the lies that say the grass is greener on the other side, when in fact the grass is dried up, full of weeds and thorns – where there is no water or life in the carnal ways of man.and ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

John 3:27,30 - "John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. He must increase, but I must decrease." Some Christians say that they were trying to decrease so the Lord could increase in their life. This seems noble, but it is not biblical, and is actually the opposite of what John the Baptist said, If we try to decrease before He increases in our life, we will just be empty, and the void will usually be filled with an evil, religious spirit. When we walk with God, we will decrease because He is increasing in our life. Genesis 5:24 - "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." Even though Enoch did not "taste death" in the natural, his old nature was consumed in God. By walking with God His glory changed him, consuming his fallen nature and replacing it with His nature. Even so, if we try to crucify ourselves, the result will be self-righteousness. Our old nature was crucified with Christ on the cross. The rendering of our old nature as dead, so we can experience the resurrection life in Christ, is a process that takes place as we walk with God. We will never be changed by seeing who we are, but by beholding who He is. As we behold Him, we embrace and identify with His cross and His resurrection. Affirmations: I AM DEAD TO SIN, DEAD TO MY FORMER LUSTS, DEAD TO THIS WORLD, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD. MY HIGHEST PURPOSE FOR THIS DAY IS TO WALK WITH HIM. WHEN I LOSE MYSELF IN HIM I DO NOT LOSE - I GAIN EVERYTHING TO INFINITY. Song of Solomon 8:5 -- "Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?" In order to learn new ways to walk, we must first learn to lean. Proverbs 3:6 -- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight." Leaning on our Beloved often requires us to lean away from our own understanding. His ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts our thoughts. This often leaves us with a lack of understanding. When leaning and depending on God for direction, more often than not He will ask us to do things and go places that make no sense to our natural ways of thinking. And when we begin to obey His leading, the "leaning" will become even more essential. Intimacy and dependency are vital for receiving knowledge and revelation about how to walk and where to go -- as well as the timing of each step. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

John 3:8 - "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." The wind is known by its sound, and by its effect. Whenever the Spirit moves there is a spiritual sound coming from the spirit realm. Spiritual sound is not random indefinite noise. It is a sound which speaks and reveals knowledge to those with ears to hear. John 12:28,29 - "'Rather, I will say, Father, glorify Your name!' Then there came a voice out of heaven saying, I have already glorified it, and I will glorify it again. The crowd of bystanders heard the sound and said that it had thundered; others said, An angel has spoken to Him!" Jesus taught us to pray for earth God will use spiritual How is it to be done? to manifest what is already in Heaven. sound -sound that will be unintelligible to spiritual wickedness and hidden from man's natural mind. Romans 8:22,23 - "And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body." The creation is releasing a groan, which is not a word but the sound of a spiritual birth. This sound is echoed in us as we yearn for the revelation of the glory of God. We are like instruments that resonate the sound coming from heaven - the approaching rule of the King of Kings. Affirmations: THE SOUNDS OF HEAVEN HAVE FALLEN TO ME IN PLEASANT PLACES; YES, I HAVE A GOOD INHERITANCE. I REVEAL SPIRITUAL THOUGHTS WITH SPIRITUAL WORDS, AS THE SPIRIT LEADS ME. I AM GROWING IN MY CAPACITY TO RELEASE SPIRITUAL SOUND ALIGNING WITH THE HEART AND NATURE OF GOD. Get ready to move into new realms of His glory. Every time you encounter His glory He is changing you. He is changing your thoughts. He is changing your perspective. He is increasing the power of His Spirit in you. He is anointing you to bring breakthrough to others. Receive the fresh prophetic flow of His presence. Be refreshed. Receive an excitement for that which is coming. The future is full of adventure. Expect Him to do mighty things for nothing is impossible for those who believe! "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints." - Ephesians 1:18 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." What does it mean to "see" the kingdom of God? Jesus urged us to do an about-face in our approach to reality because His Kingdom is at hand. He brought His world with Him, and it's within our reach. He wants us to see reality from God's perspective, to learn to live "from" His world "towards" the visible world. But we have to change the way we think if we want to apprehend the Kingdom power that is available. Jesus was saying that when our minds are renewed, we will see the Kingdom displayed and proven as He did in His earthly ministry. The idea of Kingdom power and spiritual conflict unsettles some people, but without power, the gospel is not good news. Jesus never made the gospel simply a doctrinal exercise. His reality - is to raise up a delegated group of people who work with Him to destroy the works of the devil, who demonstrate and prove the will of God here on earth as it is in heaven. Affirmations: I HAVE AN UNRELENTING HUNGER TO WATCH THE KINGDOM BREAK INTO THIS REALM. I BECOME A CONNECTING POINT AND GATEWAY FOR GOD'S POWER. I AM A C0-LABORER WITH JESUS IN THE GREAT COMMISSION. "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." - Philippians 3:21 The body being filled with the Spirit we are so hungry, so thirsty, that nothing will satisfy us so operated by the Spirit in the process of changing until we are like unto Him.but seeing Jesus. Getting more thirsty every day, more dry every day, until the floods come, and the Master passes by, ministering unto us and through us, and through us the same life, the same inspiration, that as He is, so are we in this world. Matthew 12:37 - "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Affirmation: I LET MY WORDS CREATE THE CURRENT THAT SWEEPS ME INTO THE HEART OF GOD. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Matthew 6:9-10 - "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Many people are confused about the will of God on earth, believing that it is fuzzy and vague. The will of God is simply this: "On earth as it is in heaven." When we pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," we're praying for the King's dominion and will to be realized right here, right now. God has not kept His desires secret: He wants the reality of heaven to invade this rebel-torn world, to transform it, to bring it under His headship. What is free to operate in heaven - joy, peace, wisdom, health, wholeness, and all the other good promises we read about in the Bible - should be free to operate here on this planet, in your home, your church, your business, and your school. What is not free to operate there - sickness, disease, spiritual bondage, and sin - should not be free to operate here, period. Affirmations: I REALIZE THAT I AM PUT HERE TO DO THE WILL OF GOD ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. I EMBRACE THIS LIFE-TRANSFORMING UNDERSTANDING OF "NORMAL CHRISTIANITY". MY ASSIGNMENT AS A BELIEVER ON EARTH IS TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. AS I MAKE THIS MY PRIMARY UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S WILL, THE OTHER AREAS THAT TROUBLE ME SO MUCH WILL SEEM TO SORT THEMSELVES OUT. Ephesians, 3:16 in the Amplified reads, "May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His Glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit {Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]" We can live in the Fresh Anointing that brings strength to strength living in these times! The greater the challenges that arise to confront us, the greater the favor, grace, and power the Lord releases to and through us. In Psalm 92:10, "But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with Fresh OIL!" AMP John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Loose yourself from all entanglements, soul ties, dead works, wrong relationships, wrongmind-sets. Be free from all false expectations, man's expectations, religious expectations; every expectation that does not come from the hope and expectancy that He gives to you. So you must be emptied of all the things that hold you in the earthly realm, repent and turn away from those things that break His heart. Set your priorities in order for He is taking you into another realm of your faith walk. You are going from Faith to Faith and Glory to Glory. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Exodus 4:2-4 - "And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod. And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he did so and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said to Moses, Put forth your hand and take it by the tail. And he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand." Moses' rod became a serpent. A serpent was the symbol of royal and cultic powers. A serpent was placed on the crown of every Pharaoh because it was the mark of sovereignty. God was showing Moses that He was going to give him authority. One of the Egyptians' gods was a serpent and God was clearly showing Moses He would give him power over their gods. Many Christians today never utilize their rod, leaving the wonders that God put in their hands unused. In order to step in the dunamis (power) lifestyle, sometimes we have got to throw down some things (past history, good or bad) that we have previously leaned upon. God has given us the privilege to witness the restoration of what the devil has stolen from people. As we step out, we see that restoration of people's peace, health, freedom, and their very lives await us. Affirmations: SINCE I FOLLOW CHRIST, I AM AN AMBASSADOR OF THE ENTIRE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SPIRIT REALM TO TURN A DEAF EAR TO ME WHEN I KNOW THE POWER OF MY WORDS. WHEN I KNOW THE SPIRITUAL POWER WITHIN ME, THE SPIRIT REALM ALWAYS HEARS. Psalm 40:17 - "But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art, my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God." It is clear that king David was very rich, so far as worldly goods are concerned. The eyes of his inner man were not set on earthly wealth, so it was as though he really was poor -- poor in spirit, as the Lord would have us. Matthew 5:3 - "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven." Galatians 6:7,8 - "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Observation: He has revealed the endless crop of boredom I will harvest when I base my life on pleasure-seeking instead of sowing acts of goodness and love for a harvest of eternal life. Luke 21:31 - "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." Affirmations: I ASK THE LORD TO PROPEL ME INTO THE NEXT LEVEL OF MY GROWTH AND DESTINY. I AM DETERMINED THAT I WILL COOPERATE WITH HIM. Matthew 5:6 - "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
