How to Access Wealth for Kingdom Purposes

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,120
Hello and welcome. This is Diane Lake, your host, and I'm going to be sharing

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,080
how you can understand and apply the prophetic through practical terms,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,640
practical ways, and practical means that make it relevant to everyday life so

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,880
that you can prepare the way for the Lord's purposes to manifest in the

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,720
earth. This is preparing the way the practical prophetic. Well, hey guys,

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,640
welcome to episode 50 titled How to Access Wealth for Kingdom Purposes. So

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,960
I hope you'll find this subject intriguing. I told you in our last episode

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,720
that I recently felt the Lord spoke to me that as the body of Christ it's time

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,600
to get ourselves trained. So in light of the fact that I've been writing and

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,000
podcasting about things I've heard the Lord saying recently, such as that in

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,160
2024, doors of miraculous supernatural provision are opening and that the

12
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,880
wealth of the nations is coming to you, I wanted to discuss just how is it that

13
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,960
we can access wealth for Kingdom Purposes. Because I've learned it can be

14
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:12,680
one thing to receive prophetic revelation, and it can be quite another

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,480
thing to apprehend it to see it manifest. I bet you've had that experience too.

16
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,760
Before continuing, I want to let you know that parts of this episode, the

17
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:30,520
material is exerted from an article I wrote in 2016. It was titled Accessing

18
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Wealth for Kingdom Purposes. So you can find that article on our website by that

19
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,560
title at www.starfireministries.org if you'd like to go find that. What

20
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,840
initially prompted me to write that original article was that in 2014, Cindy

21
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,440
Jacobs had prophesied a word to my husband and I that the Lord was opening

22
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,200
the gate of property to us, that we would own houses and lands to be used of

23
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,880
course for Kingdom Purposes. That prophecy had really intrigued me. One

24
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,840
reason was that we do have a background in construction and we did already own

25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,040
some properties. But our mindset at that time was pretty much we were treading

26
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,200
water. We were not looking to expand in any way. And another reason it intrigued

27
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,400
me was that prophetic voices at that time in 2016 I believe it was, were talking

28
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,280
about open doors, double portion, and even gates of provision opening for God's

29
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,000
people. Excuse me, that would have been 2014 when the prophecy was given. So it's

30
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,320
interesting that we're hearing so many of those things here now in 2024, 10 years

31
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,400
later. Well at that time it seemed that God wanted to move us out of this safe

32
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,240
mode that we were kind of in, kind of hunkered down in. And I began to ask the

33
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Lord if he could show us how to access or attend to this revelation, this

34
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,720
prophetic word. Because as I said it's one thing to get a prophetic revelation

35
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:06,400
or prophetic word and it's another thing to see it happen, right? I want to read

36
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Proverbs 29 18 in the message it says, if God's people can't see what God is doing

37
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:19,080
they stumble all over themselves. But when they attend to what he reveals, they

38
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,280
are most blessed. So you can see what I'm saying we want to attend to the word

39
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,040
about new levels of wealth coming for Kingdom purposes so that we can access

40
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,160
it and then thereby will be some of those who that verse says are the most

41
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,400
blessed. So I want to give you some practical steps then and also some

42
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,760
spiritual guidelines which can help you bridge the gap between revelation and

43
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:53,280
actualization. Alright? So step one I'm going to call it is getting ready. In

44
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,280
order to access new levels of wealth it's important to examine our mindsets

45
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,320
regarding wealth from a biblical perspective of course. So here are some

46
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,120
thoughts, some questions that you can ask yourself. To start the process of

47
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,720
examining what is it that you believe about wealth so that you can prepare to

48
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,880
receive new levels of provision. So first of all do you truly believe that wealth

49
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,360
results from being blessed by the Lord? You need to do that otherwise it's

50
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,160
probably not going to happen. Read Proverbs 10-22 and especially I would

51
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,160
encourage you to read Deuteronomy 28 1-14 that talks about those who obey

52
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:47,080
the Lord, obey his word, obey his voice are blessed and there is a lot of wealth

53
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,400
information in that passage of scripture. So here's another thing you can ask

54
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,800
yourself. Do you seek after wisdom believing it to be the foundation for

55
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,840
riches? You can check out Proverbs 8 verses 18 and 21 for that. Another

56
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:10,640
question number three, do you understand kingdom principles of wealth such as that

57
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,840
a king, right? Jesus is our king, a king demonstrates his power by his wealth and

58
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:27,040
you cannot outgive a king, can you? See 1st Kings 10 for that and Luke 6-38.

59
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,720
The next question, do you realize that glimpses of wealth in the heavenly

60
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,320
kingdom such as found throughout Revelation, things like streets of gold,

61
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:43,040
throne set with jewels, etc. are meant to provoke us? Do you believe you are a

62
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,600
joint heir with Christ that you are meant to share in his power, his wisdom, his

63
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:56,560
riches, and his strength? You can go to Romans 8 17 and Revelation 5-12 to check

64
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,000
that out. And the last question I'm going to give you, do you have faith to

65
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:09,120
receive wealth? This is important. In Matthew 9-29 the message version, Jesus

66
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,240
essentially said to the two blind men, become what you believe. You got to

67
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,960
really have some faith for this. Another thing, ask the Lord to break any curses

68
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,000
of poverty. It could be generational or some other means that this has somehow

69
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,320
come a hold in your life. And to help you renew your mind in this area. Renewing

70
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:41,120
the mind as we know is very important. Other areas to consider include common

71
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,640
sense measures such as living within your means, reducing or eliminating debt, and

72
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:55,000
not being afraid to work hard. You can check out Proverbs 10 verses 4 and 5. And

73
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,360
also make sure you haven't settled into survival mode. In 2014 my husband and I

74
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,760
kind of had. It's important to believe that the best is yet to come. Not just

75
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,640
spiritually speaking but in areas of business and your finances as well. You

76
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:18,160
can check out Ecclesiastes 7, 8 to 10, and Ezekiel 36, 8 to 11 for some

77
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,320
scriptures that refer to those principles. Alright so that was step one,

78
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:29,480
getting ready. Let's move to step two which I've titled ask, seek, and knock.

79
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Luke 11, 9 to 10 I feel is key to actively pressing in to new levels of

80
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,800
provision. In the New King James Version this passage says, So I say to you, ask

81
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,880
and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be open to

82
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,280
you. For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks

83
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:02,000
it will be opened. Spiritually we knock at the door by asking the Lord to reveal

84
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,600
wealth creation strategies to us by his Holy Spirit. And naturally speaking we

85
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,760
knock at the door by not being afraid to act on the things that we sense he's

86
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,800
revealing to us. And this always, almost always I meant to say, almost always

87
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:27,000
requires some type of risk and investment. I'll give you a current example of risk

88
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,040
that my husband and I have taken and that is that in this last year we've

89
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,840
actually purchased a ranch. Now I've been writing and podcasting about this over

90
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,080
the last year so you can go back and find some other episodes or articles if

91
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,800
you haven't heard me talk about this but the kicker was that in order to secure

92
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,960
this new ranch property we felt that we needed to write the offer, the purchase

93
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:59,640
offer for this ranch not contingent on the sale of our own property. We knew

94
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:05,240
we wouldn't get it if we did that. Because this old place of ours, I'll

95
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,160
just fill in a little detail, it just didn't have the biggest buyer pool to

96
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,880
begin with and we both had a strong sense, my husband and I, that the Lord had

97
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,480
led us to this ranch, he had brought us to this ranch, that's how we found it. And

98
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,560
we had a big comfort level that we were going to go ahead and take this risk.

99
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,440
That doesn't mean we were comfortable in the risk but we were comfortable taking

100
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,160
it. In other words, if you know the Lord is directing you to do something then

101
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,840
he's going to have to provide for you the means to make it happen, correct? Now as

102
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,480
it turned out it was a long and bumpy ride till we sold and closed on our own

103
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,960
property. It did finally happen and in the process we increased considerably in

104
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:56,000
our levels of faith and in our financial bottom line as well. So it definitely

105
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,400
did move us forward financially but it wasn't an easy road is what I'm saying

106
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:06,680
and there was a large risk in vault. So you can begin asking the Lord what type

107
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:11,160
of training, investment or movement towards releasing his provision you need

108
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,840
to make. And for some people I'm sure the Lord has already been speaking to you.

109
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Maybe as you're listening you're thinking about something you've heard him

110
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,160
talk to you about some type of opportunity. So recognize that by faith a

111
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,400
window of opportunity for wealth creation exists and then don't be afraid

112
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,560
to take that risk, make that investment once you are sure that that is what the

113
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:40,360
Lord's directing you to do. The Lord is no respecter of persons and he'll do the

114
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,560
same things for you that he's done for my husband and I as long as you're

115
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:51,480
following his leading. Alright let's look at step three. This is entering a

116
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:58,400
lifestyle of what's mine is yours. Meaning what's mine is yours and quotes as if

117
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,240
the Holy Spirit is saying it. I believe that's how the Lord intends us to live.

118
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:09,400
As if you've heard him say that what is mine is also yours and if you believe

119
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,480
this word is for you what I'm bringing you today and what I'm just saying now

120
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,840
there are six things that I sense that the Holy Spirit is saying that you need

121
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,320
to do. Are you ready? I'm going to give you six items for you to do. Number one

122
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,200
make a list of what has been stolen from you. Now we're talking about the enemy

123
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,120
the thief according to John 10.10 that's what he does he kills steals the story

124
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,800
we know that. So what's been taken from you because think about it if you were

125
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,600
robbed in the natural realm. The first thing that you would likely do is make

126
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,760
a list for the police and give them that written record correct. Well God wants a

127
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,440
written record of what needs to be restored to you to number two begin

128
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,880
calling in the wealth that you need to do what God is asking you to do review

129
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:06,440
prophetic words and be bold. Number three begin asking the Lord for strategies

130
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,240
how ask him to show you what the strategies are to access this wealth

131
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,560
he's been talking about and like I said of another reminder you must be open to

132
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:23,000
taking risks as you sense that the Lord is directing you. Number four start

133
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,760
looking for places to give extravagantly the faith that you release in doing this

134
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:37,560
will open trails of treasure to you. I believe it. Number five begin asking for

135
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:42,840
the wealth of nations to be revealed to you. Ask some questions what might be

136
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,280
blocking the Lord's provision to you. Is it corruption? Is it poverty? Are there

137
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,240
curses on the land where you live pray for restoration in the areas that he

138
00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:00,040
might reveal so that provision can begin to flow without hindrance? And number

139
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:07,240
six don't be impatient releasing wealth can take time but as you take one step

140
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:13,120
it will lead to the other step and the other step until the whole plan is

141
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:20,280
revealed to you. In 2024 as I've been talking about I believe doors of

142
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:27,480
provision and wealth are opening for his faithful ones so let's us together all

143
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:36,200
attend to the word so that's what has been prophesied can be realized amen. Let

144
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:43,120
me close by reading Ephesians 3 20 and 21 New King James Version. Now to him who

145
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:49,520
is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according

146
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:55,480
to the power that works in us to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to

147
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:03,440
all generations forever and ever amen. Well we'll just add our own agreement you

148
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,880
just say in your own mind and your heart as you have heard this podcast episode

149
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,000
today and as I've the scripture let that scripture sink in do we really believe

150
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,840
he can do exceedingly abundantly above we ask or think yes Lord let's say that

151
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,600
together yes Lord we believe you can provide bring the wealth that we need
