PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE! God's Transference of Wealth and How to Actively Prepare to Be His Conduit

"I Have Chosen to Give You the Kingdom"

The Lord has spoken to me on numerous occasions, during the last two years, communicating His desire to move great wealth into His Kingdom work. Here are some excerpts:

"I desire to give you good things (Matthew 7:11). I want you to be ready to receive them. Seek after Me (Matthew 6:33). I AM a loving God; come to Me. I provided gold, frankincense and myrrh to My Son, Jesus, when He needed it (Matthew 2:11-14), and I want to provide for you when you need it and are ready to receive it.

"I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:6). I AM your God, I AM the God who gives you My Spirit. I AM the God who loves you just as you are. I see you as perfect through the blood of My Son Jesus. I AM calling you to come with Me to the next level. It is a beautiful place. I AM the perfect Father, your never-failing Dad. As My child, when you jump into My arms, I will never fail to catch you. You are My beloved child in whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17).

"Prepare! Prepare! Prepare! I am moving wealth into the Kingdom. Be prepared! Now is the time to prepare. DO NOT WAIT!

"PREPARE, PREPARE! Very significant times are ahead--SOON--a mighty outpouring of My Spirit and of My Kingdom! PREPARE, PREPARE! Don't let things happening around you cause you to fear. I AM in the wind, I AM in the fire, I AM in the shaking. I AM in all these things. PREPARE for My great outpouring. Don't wait. Move forward in My power and in what I plan to do through you.

"I will give to My beloved, even in his sleep (Psalm 127:2). You are My beloved ones; receive what I am giving you. I have chosen to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32). Take it; take it forward, even violently. (Violently refers to being violent with the demonic forces; see Matthew 11:12.) Do not wait; take the plans I have given you and do not hesitate to move forward.

"You Are on the Edge of Where I Have Been Taking You"

"I AM bringing you forth into a broad place (Psalm 18:19; 118:5-6). This is your place. There is peace and joy there. Let go of stress and worry--they are not allowed in the broad place. Relax and rest (Matthew 11:28). You are My conduit, in My time and My way. So relax and rest. The battle is Mine, not yours (2 Chronicles 20:15).

"Many of you are on the edge of where I have been taking you. When I say 'jump,' jump off the edge; don't hesitate. I will catch you and take you up to a new level. Be ready to listen. I will be giving you many instructions at that level. As I AM blessing you, turn and bless those around you. There is plenty to go around; you just have to take that first step of faith. Encourage each other; do not be negative. Encourage each other; do this in significant ways, now! Fear, there is too much fear. Stop being fearful; that is from the enemy. I am here to bring you My peace, joy, grace, love. Breathe in My peace, My joy. Do not allow fear or worry to reside. I am speaking, listen to Me. My words are full of love.

"Prepare for My outpouring. It will be pressed down, shaken together and overflowing (Luke 6:38). You are to be My change-agents. I am taking care of you. Change will come as you operate in My peace."

(December 30, 2007) "I AM calling out to you. Fall down before Me, worship Me, and I will raise you up to new levels. This is the 'Year of New Doors' (2008). I will open them for you (Revelation 3:8). You will be amazed at what is on the other side. Keep in mind that you are in warfare. Awesome things are on the other side of the doors I will open for you, but don't be surprised when the enemy shoots at you. Keep your armor on (Ephesians 6:11), and know that I am good and that I protect My children. You are in the palm of My hand and nothing can reach you that I do not allow."

Wealth for God's Kingdom Work

The Lord has been speaking to many of us over the last few years about His plans to move wealth into His Kingdom. He is looking for people who are willing to be His conduits, and who will actively prepare to be used in this way. Here are some Bible references about God moving the wealth of the nations:

"Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, and the wealth of the nations will come to you." Isaiah 60:5

"Your gates will be open continually; they will not be closed day or night, so that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations..." Isaiah 60:11

"But you will be called the priests of the Lord; you will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of shame, you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will shout for joy over their portion..." Isaiah 61:6-7

"'I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD of Hosts. 'The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,' declares the LORD of Hosts." Haggai 2:7-8

Dr. C. Peter Wagner wrote an excellent article entitled "Kingdom Philanthropy" (posted on Elijah List, June 20, 2006).

In it, he said, "We now live in the Second Apostolic Age in which the Biblical government of the Church has come alive once again. The Holy Spirit has begun speaking to the churches about taking dominion of God's creation as God originally intended us to do. Our 20th Century goal of saving souls and multiplying churches has been expanded to aim for nothing less than transforming our society." Dr. Wagner also noted, "My sense is that we are looking at unbelievable quantities of wealth moving from the control of the kingdom of darkness, to the control of the Kingdom of God."

How to Actively Prepare to be a Conduit for God

I believe God is going to do this transference on at least two levels. The first level applies to all of us. This is a call to be totally out of debt and to stay out of debt. To do this you need to prayerfully lay out a written plan. This is essential. List out all your debts, and a prioritization of what you should pay off first, second, and so on. Then commit time to asking the Lord for provision to pay off these debts. Don't fail to pay tithes (giving God a portion of your income); this is very important.

The Lord actually invites us to "test" Him by tithing (see Malachi 3:10). Journalize by writing down God's answers as you go through this process, so you do not miss seeing how He is providing. Your written plan should also include steps for staying out of debt, and how you will put additional funds into His Kingdom, beyond tithing, once you are fully out of debt. Then ask the Lord to help you get your house in order, both literally and figuratively. If you do not have financial reserves, build some. If your home needs repair, do it. If your car is breaking down, repair or replace it.

The second level in transference of wealth into the Kingdom is becoming a conduit for God. This should come after you are out of debt. Though the Lord desires all believers to be free from debt, fewer people are called to this level of being a financial conduit. Is this a desire of your heart (Psalm 37:4)? Are you being called to this? Are you willing to prepare for this?

Again, planning is critical at this next level. Ask the Lord to let you know clearly if He is calling you to this. As He gives you confirmations, start writing out plans for how you will distribute funds He channels through you. You really do need His wisdom here, as this is not nearly as easy to do as it seems. Large infusions of funds into some churches or other non-profit organizations could actually damage them if God is not leading you to give there.

He desires for us to give not only with a cheerful and generous heart (2 Corinthians 9:7), but also to give wisely and responsibly. Funding Kingdom work does not always mean just contributing to and through organizations. The Lord may lead you to directly help a neighbor, or someone you know at work who is hurting financially.

It is very important to give as anonymously as possible. Jesus said to give secretly, and not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing when we are giving (Matthew 6:1-4). These are not your funds. God is looking for those whom He can trust to pass wealth along.

Do all you can to give the glory to Him and not to yourself. This is not about being noticed by people, but loving and honoring the Lord, and loving and serving others.

"Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats filled with new wine." Proverbs 3:9-10

"But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth..." Deuteronomy 8:18
