APPREHENDED & UNCOMMON PROSPERITY!
Philippians 3:12 KJV - ...I am apprehended of Christ Jesus!
Christ chased me. Jesus pursued me. He came after me. The Lord laid hold of me... because He wanted me! He saw something in seed form that He could harvest if only I would allow Him to deposit His own Seed within me!
The Spirit of God wooed me and drew me! He hovered over me and kept after me until I gave in!
...I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
I am sought after. I am pursued. I am wanted and I am celebrated!
The Father wanted me!
My Father apprehended me!
The Spirit draws me anew today!
Draw me, Lord, draw me! Take me away, My Beloved!
...I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Holy Spirit, you IRRESISTABLY ATTRACT me to Jesus! You draw me with cords that cannot be broken!
Holy Spirit, you make Jesus REAL to me today.
Holy Spirit, you MAGNIFY the presence of the Lord to me and in me today!
I am CARESSED and CARRIED throughout my day! How luxurious is this? You, O precious Holy Spirit, CARESS me early in the morning, then you CARRY ME all day long! Wow! Awesome! Thank You, thank You, thank You, Sir!
2 Peter 1:21 (NIV) - ...they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
...I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
1 Kings 17 Partnership with the Man of God: Three Responsibilities of THE PARTNER + Three Responsibilities of THE PROPHET = Uncommon Prosperity!
The woman: 1) PERCEIVED the prophet, 2) RECEIVED the prophet, then 3) CONCEIVED the prophet's reward!
The prophet: 1) Accepted the SEED, 2) Discerned the NEED, then 3) Performed the DEED!
Richard Roberts, president of the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association, telephoned me one day and requested my permission to use the above PARTNERSHIP REVELATION of perceived/received/conceived and seed/need/deed concerning the woman and Elijah. "Of course," I replied, "as I didn't write 1 Kings chapter 17. I just saw the truth and captured and capsulized it for easier understanding. I didn't author the principles that God Himself established. So sure, this is God's stuff, not mine!" Ha!
Reading about Elijah and Elisha in 1 and 2 Kings, one can only conclude THE EXTREME VALUE OF PARTNERING WITH GOD'S MAN! As these people took care of the prophet, God took care of them over and over and over again!
God has ESTABLISHED a POINT OF CONTACT between Heaven and Earth to get our needs met. And for our needs to be met in a big way! This point of contact is called THE MAN OF GOD!
Mike Murdock put it this way: What you make happen for the Man of God, God will make happen for you!
A Man of God is a PIVOT and PORTAL between Heaven and Earth, a HINGE into Divine Prosperity, if you will. When I sow into a Man of God's ministry, I have sown into Heaven, as that man is a representative of the same. I SHOULD EXPECT GOD TO REWARD ME IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS for my obedience to finance and care for His sovereignly chosen servant!
When I sow into the anointing, I can expect a harvest from that same anointing!
Mike Murdock: The anointing you respect is the anointing you attract!
I move the hand of God when I open my hand to His chosen vessel!
I move the heart of God when I open my heart to His spokesman, His own chosen representative!
As Jesus is THE DOOR OF ETERNITY, a man of God is a DOOR INTO PROSPERITY! Why? Because God chooses and sets apart whomever He will, then all by Himself, He gives that man a mouth to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an uncommon fashion! And so when we honor the man of God, we are honoring God Himself! Not that the man of God is anything special in and of himself... but because of The Call... but because of The Anointing... which is by sheer grace! The Call on the man is what is special, not the man himself!
Points of Contact! There are many of them!
God gives us Points of Contact to RECEIVE FROM HIM.
GOD'S STOCK MARKET: Paul the Apostle said that the Philippians had opened a CREDIT and DEBIT account with God by their supporting his apostolic ministry. Read Philippians chapter 4 in the Amplified Bible! Giving to God's man is defined as a deposit. Receiving is making withdrawals with interest ...getting our needs met in an uncommon fashion by our most generous Father!
S&P 100,000: Son & Partners Hundred-Fold Fund!
Most people don't know that the inventors of BEANIE BABIES are SpIrit-Filled believers who sowed extravagantly into several ministries and are now MULTI-MILLIONAIRES as a result! I met them at a Mike Murdock partners' meeting! Amazing what the combination of STRATEGIC GIVING + HARD WORK can yield!
Consider yourself APPREHENDED!
Consider yourself UNCOMMONLY PROSPEROUS!
