                I Came That You May Have Life


I came and died that you might have life and have it more abundantly. I 
have given you authority to not only tread on the enemy but to command a 
release of a hundredfold of what was stolen; pressed down, shaken together 
and running over. I desire that you, My people, live an abundant life. 
Abundant life may mean doing well financially as well as good living, and 
spiritually speaking, the abundance of My presence and My power flowing 
through your lives. Many in My body have come into conflict with the 
prosperity message.  I am an abundant God and I do not withhold things 
from those who ask. Yet I provide with the reason for you to provide for 
your brethren who are in need.

I have called you to minister unto the needy. How can you do so if you are 
broke and barely able to survive? I have not called you to survive and get 
by, but I have called you to live in My abundance so that you shall be 
indeed the salt and the light that I have called you to be.  I have called 
you to further My Kingdom of hearts through your giving. You have said all 
you can say. You have prophesied all you can prophesy. But if My Word it 
not applied practically, what good is that?

My Spirit longs that you are free from the chains of bondage to sin, 
sickness, discouragement and all that is contrary to My Word. There is a 
need for a revolution of your mind. Who do you see yourself as? When you 
look in the mirror, do you see yourself as I see you, or are you conformed 
to a mindset that is still bound to the law?

It is time for My church to step out in faith and reach this earth for Me. 
It is time to shine with the abundance of My authority and grace unto a 
hurting people. This is My heart. I will no longer allow squabbles and 
unchanged mindsets to ground the work that I am doing to a halt. I am 
raising up Josephs in this hour who will bring forth a Godly administration 
and government to My Body; those who know My heart and those who have sought 
after Me with their all. Creative power and miracles shall proceed from the 
words they shall speak, for they shall be My Words, says the Lord.
