  • [Ep#413] How to be Prepared and Postured Correctly for God's Great Wealth Transfer in End Times
    Oct 11 2024
    Welcome back to the show, this is Episode 3: of a special series Signs, Wonders, and Miracles Series, which I am co-hosting with my friend and colleague Lorellee Colley Episode 1: We spoke about how God is giving understanding, maturing, positioning for His people to be empowered for the End Times Harvest of Provision. Episode 2: We spoke the two kingdoms in opposition – God's Kingdom and the kingdom of darkness. Why is this important to know, along with recognising the cultures of each of these kingdoms, especially the Kingdom of God and how we are to operate, so that we can understand with maturity and be positioned for the End Times Harvest of Provision. And, today we are going to explore further Wealth Transfer, including: Why are we talking about this now? What’s prophetic about it? And, is this for a chosen few? Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode: Anointing and Daily Affirmations: Lorellee emphasizes that the anointing — the Holy Spirit within us — can be actively cultivated through daily affirmations and faith actions. Referencing Romans 4:17, we delve into the power of calling things into existence through faith. Positioning for Wealth Transfer: It's crucial to understand and align yourself with God's intent for wealth transfer. Proverbs 13:22 illustrates that wealth isn't merely for personal gain but for advancing God's kingdom. Position yourself correctly to be a part of this divine plan. Faith Integrated Business Practices: Overcoming self-doubt and integrating faith into your business is essential. God’s provision flows when we combine our practical strategies with an openness to divine guidance. Our businesses can thrive not through excessive toil but through His blessings as highlighted in Proverbs 19.
