I expected that the Lord would just provide our needs since we were doing His work

And He raised up some wonderful partners who have supported us

But we cannot depend on only a few to carry the load

We must still work on our secular life as well as our ministry

I realized that so many folks who are following us are still struggling with material needs

And although I had come to a place where my faith always provide what I desired, somehow it was not working the same any more

And the Lord said He allowed this because He wants me to fully present the business calling again

I realized some time back that the business calling was not simply a calling to start businesses and make money

So my goal was not to become successful and wealthy myself

It was to teach all believers how to prosper and succeed in life

This is the Lord’s desire for every one of us

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I want you to continually be made to flourish in all things and to be continually in good health, to the same degree that your soul is continually being made to flourish. [GBMV]

This is the Lord’s desire for every believer, but unfortunately, very few experience this fully

It does not come automatically, but we need to learn how to do it God’s way

The starting point according to this very is the condition of the soul

Until your soul is flourishing the rest of your life cannot flourish

For years I struggled to survive in this world

and I looked for and studied every teaching I could find out there on the subject

I found there was a whole branch of teaching under the title of self-help that offered some principles on how to do this

One of the most famous books still in use is How To Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

They all teach that the mind has the power to change your life

In a sense they are correct, because the mind is part of the soul

But the power to create the life you desire does not lie in the mind

It lies much deeper than that - in the spirit

Even some Bible Teachers are confused on this

A famous Chinese Teacher name Watchman Nee wrote a book entitled The Latent Power of the Soul

I greatly respected his teachings and learn a lot from him

But then I discovered that he was wrong

The latent power does not lie in the soul, but it lies in the spirit

The spirit communicates ideas to the mind, which enables it to motivate the emotions and thus still a person’s will to do the right thing

stirs the will

The soul has no creative power

If it did, then the animals would be able to create new things

But instead animals are controlled by a deeper force, similar to the spirit, which we all instint

instinct

They cannot originate, but all of a given species are driven by the same instinct

and end up doing the same things

But man is made in the image of God

He has a spirit which holds the nature of God, the creator

And if we wish to succeed in life and live the kind of life God intends, we need to be able to hear from and obey our spirits

As I studied this and meditated on it, the Lord began to show me some things I did not know

He highlighted for me the following passage

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in [the] heavenly [realm] in Christ: [GBMV]

This verse tells us that God has already blessed us with everything that heaven has to offer

How has He done this?

Where does Christ operate and live?

In your human spirit

your spirit is the source of all pwer

I have written complete book on this entitled Tapping Your Inner Resources

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=299

But the ultimate principles on how to use this knowledge I published in three completed books known as the Way of Blessing

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/search-products/?SearchItem=way+of+blessing

Here is the essence of what is taught in the Way of Blessing

God has placed in our spirits in christ, three powerful forces that are able to help us to create anything we desire in this world.

You can find these forces mentioned in most of Paul’s epistles

Often at the beginning of his letters, he mentions them

Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,

1 Thessalonians 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy , to the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The blessing code is a fictional story illustrating power spiritual principles

Anyway, the forces of faith, hope and love work together to help create anything we desire in this world

I liken them to the firing of a gun

You have the bullet that contains all the power

Then the trigger that fires the bullet and released the powe

Then hope is like the gunsights on the weapon, giving you a direction and aim to make sure you hit the target

There are many different principles involved in receiving from God

Amongst these is the fact that we have an enemy who does not want us to be blessed

So even if we have asked God for provision and He has said yet, it can still be blocked from manifesting

We need to understand the realm of darkness and how to deal with it

Included in this is the subject of curses

The picture I use for this is that of a motorboat in the water, with its engines revving full speed

The boat should be surging forward

But it is it tied the bank with a rope it stays in one place

Until you cut the rope it will not help to increase the power of the engine

But when you but the rope, it surges forward unrestricted

sometimes your provision has been swallowed up by a demon power

We see this in the spirit like the image used by Michelin tires - we call it the Michelin Man

It is all blown up from eating your provision

and you need to pop it to release them

You need to understand how the Realm of Darkness i set up

Anyway, I am going to be presenting again all the main principles of living in abundance.

And we have set up a new website to do some of this

You can see so far what it looks like here. We are still working on it https://abundance.gbmi.co.za/

I will be setting up a new mailing list for everyone who is interested in receiving teachings on this subject

and I will be using these Monday lessons to present a lot of the new materials

Now although I will be offering much of this freely, we are dependend on income from the purchase of our materials.

So we will be advertising all of our main products connected with this

We have already published some helpful books as follows

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=21

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=10

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=110

I started presenting some free lessons from Four Weeks with God in business, which is also a published book

https://www.gbm-bookshop.com/product-detail/?product=5

I will publish a transcript from tonight, but meantime check out a new website abundance. gbmi.co.za

https://abundance.gbmi.co.za/

So I will be showing you some principles of how to succeed in life and business and how to generate income

and to increase out own income we will be promoting our published books

For those who are keen to study, we have a website that contains all of our books

Anyone who enrolls as a student or member of GBMI gets free access to this website - https://gbmbooks.gbmi.co.za/

But we are retuning for season to an emphasis on the business calling, or helping believers to succeed in the secular world

So expect to get more emails from us, and expect these monday chats to have that orientation

Every believer should learn to rise up and florish in this world

floursh

flourish

then I know also that many of you would have the resources to bless us back again and become regular contributing partners

So join us as we make this transition

Our motivation will always be the love of the Lord

This the Lord made clear during our last conference

We will soon be releasing the full texts of those messages in a new book

Meanwile, we have been working on the songs from the conference

You can listen to them so far here: https://gbm-music.com/victory-ground/

Expect to receive more emails from us.

We hope to focus our emails to specific folks we desire specific topics

And we will be adding some new options to our mailing list, so look out for the announcement

It is time we rise up and take the world for Him

We look foward to having you aboard as we reach out to do this now

Let us flourish together for Him

and show the world what a wonderful Savior we have

We speak the blessing of the Lord on each one of you now

and pray that the week ahead will be filled with good thing

We want to show you the love of the Lord

and we are there to help you in any way we can

We want to welcome Daniella Pamphile to this group
