The KEY to unbridled FREEDOM. The ANSWER to ENJOYMENT in serving God. The FORMULA for LIBERTY in reaching cultures and nations for Messiah Jesus. Do NOT let anything or anyone hold you back from doing GREAT WORKS for God in the End Times! Prince Handley gives you REVELATION of the MANDATE in simplicity and anointing. ________________________________________________ Let me share with you something that will set you FREE for creative works. It is this: BE UNIQUE. Serve God in the giftings He has given YOU. Many people―many rabbis and ministers―are serving God as “Copy Cats.” That is, they are copying other ministers or ministries: some unknowingly have been doing this from the start―not even realizing it. You may ask, “How are they copying―or, trying to copy―others?” Here are some examples: Style, Content, Organization, Outreach, Solicitation. To be effective at maximum efficiency, productivity and anointing you must minister, or serve the LORD, in your own unique way. You do NOT need to―nor are you required to―be like others. JUST BE YOU! Let's discuss some areas to clarify our premise.
Faith is the underpinning―the knowing―that you already own, or have, what you are hoping for and attempting. Why then would you want to copy someone else's pursuit of something that is NOT yours?
Great marks in life start small. Obedience produces opportunity for Kingdom advance. So obey God in what He is leading you and He will open doors. He sees!
Large decsions in life are the composite of the smaller, or minor, decisions you have made, or are making. Learn to make the right move at each point of decision. Understanding can wait, but obedience can not. Doubt will erase the mark you want to make in life. Our brother James (Hebrew = Jacob) taught: “When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. that person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” – James 1:6-8 Doubt usually comes from any of four sources: People; Self; Satan; or Circumstances Do NOT doubt when you have the vision—when you know—that you own what you are attempting. Start where you're at―even if it's small—and be like the “Energizer Bunny.” “Those who have made fun of this day of small beginnings will rejoice when they see Zerubbabel holding this important stone. Those seven lamps are my eyes—the eyes of the Lord—and they see everything on this earth.” – Zechariah 4:10 There was an NBA basketball player named John Stockton that lots of peole never remember … or even heard about. Before turning pro, he played at a small college in his home town. He just did his job as point guard. But he was like the Energizer Bunny. He left the NBA after 19 seasons with the Utah Jazz, holding a mass of assists records, including the career mark (15,806). He led the league in steals twice and, with a career total of 3,265, he retired as the NBA's all-time leader. He played all 82 games in 17 of his 19 seasons and his career shooting percentage was .515, a remarkable statistic for a guard. "There absolutely, positively, will never ever be another John Stockton – ever," said Karl Malone, Stockton's teammate for 18 seasons. John Stockton was NOT trying to copy―or, be like―anyone else. He just used what giftings he had for 19 seasons. The Jazz never missed the playoffs during Stockton's career and they reached the Western Conference Finals five times in a seven-year span. He left his mark on the game! Famed UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said Stockton was the NBA player he enjoyed watching the most and the only one he would pay to see. You are not always the best person to judge your uniqueness! Especially if you're feeling low or insecure. But … YOU are the only one who can make a difference with what God has given YOU. When you hear voices telling you that you are not talented enough or good enough, talk them down. Tell them that YOU are the only one who can do what God has called YOU to do. Above all, do NOT get yourself―or your service for God―into a position where you are on a “gristmill” working to maintain and NOT to be creative. Georges St-Pierre, Mixed Martial Arts champion says it well: “You can tell when your enemy is defeated mentally because he is fighting not to lose instead of fighting to win.” I have listed three books below to help you with greatness, decision making and success through faith:
OPPORTUNITY One way to do great works is to work with God by helping reach people with the Good News! A TAX DEDUCTIBLE RECEIPT WILL BE SENT TO YOU My friend, let me ask you the most important question of your life: If you were to die right now, do you know for sure that you would go to Heaven? If not, pray this prayer: “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if Jesus is really my Messiah, please reveal Him to me and I will serve You the rest of my life. Please forgive my sins. Help me to live for you the rest of my time on earth, and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.” Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.

SUCCESS THRU ACTION SERIES – PART 5 (FINAL) MUSIC
/ INTRO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL FUTURE Remember that ACTION keeps you under the anointing so
that you are as a new, sharp threshing instrument. Knowing that the
enemy’s KEY INTENTION is to STOP your action, you now have military
intelligence as to his plans. Your main focus NOW should be on developing a
spirit of excellence in your action. That’s what The
University of Excellence is about. There are SEVEN (7) things you need to cultivate a spirit
of excellence: 1. VISION Spend time with God. Pray and fast for: A fresh vision; and, A prophetic, apostolic anointing. 2. DETERMINATION You need "bulldog"
endurance and perseverance. You can't be a "pansy" and you can't be a
quitter. Be a warrior and remember: If you don't quit, you will win!
(But if you quit, you can't win!) 3. PRIORITIES You need to put God's program FIRST in life. He will show
you when you need to spend time for family, for recreation, and for fellowship.
At times, He may have you spend LOTS of time on family, recreation, and
fellowship. But don't try to replace God's Kingdom as your top priority. "You
seek first the kingdom of God, and all things will be added unto you."
(Matthew 6:33) MUSIC 4. ACCOUNTABILITY Accountability will give you real liberty. You need to be
accountable to: Jesus, the Great Pastor; and, Others, in ministry. 5. REST You need to rest one day a week. This is God's plan and
is necessary for your overall long-term health and blessing. At times, He may
lead you to take extended periods of rest. Always obey Him in these matters. He
knows what is best for you . . . and for those to whom you minister. You can't
minister effectively if you're worn out or burnt out! "For thus says
the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you will be saved;
in quietness and confidence will be your strength." (Isaiah 30:15)
Honoring and keeping the Sabbath will also enable you to appropriate the
rewards of a spirit of EXCELLENCE: delight, dominion, and desires granted.
(Isaiah 58:13-14) 6. A HEART FOR GOD The prophet Samuel said, “The LORD has sought him a
man after his own heart,” describing King David. (1 Samuel 13:14) After
being anointed, and successful as a king and military leader - the champion
of the people - King David sinned greatly. Even in the midst of his sin, he
had a heart toward God, which caused him to repent. He paid dearly for his sin,
but even in the midst of his sin, he loved God and was repentant. MUSIC In all his public official conduct he acted according to
the Divine mind, and fulfilled the will of his Maker: thus was he a man after
God's own heart. In reference to his private or personal moral conduct, the
word is never used. So what was his problem? Why did David sin? The answer
is: He didn’t FEAR God. He loved God, but He didn’t fear Him! We need to be not
only morally reverent towards God, but also to have a sense of alarm that will
keep us from walking off the path of righteousness. We need to think ahead of
time about the consequences of our sin and transgression. Our Father in Heaven
loves us too much to let us get away with such behavior. There is not much
preaching on holiness anymore. We need
to LOVE GOD and to FEAR GOD; then we will have a heart for God. In David’s rulership of the Kingdom, in his official
conduct, he fulfilled the will of God; however, in his private life and
personal conduct he failed miserably - but then repented. This brings to
light THREE very important things to consider: Your actions can bring reproach
on God, yourself, your family, your friends, your nation, and your cause. Your actions can give your
enemies occasion to slander you and also mock the God you are supposed to be
serving. Your actions can bring severe
judgment upon you and your family. In the heat of temptation you need to consider these
things. Are you willing to pay the price? Do you LOVE God and your family
enough to protect them from the results of your sin? Do you FEAR God enough to
prohibit you from doing the thing(s) you are considering? MUSIC 7. INTEGRITY Honesty and moral uprightness are the KEY INDICATORS of
the God shaped life. The deeper your character, the greater your impact!
Many things that we question in life, even small things, are a TEST of our
integrity. God is constantly testing us to see if we can be entrusted with
greater giftings, talents, skills, and responsibilities. Integrity is a two edged sword. It is an instrument of
blessing:

DESCRIPTION:
How to
take ACTION so you can do the things you most want to do in life: the things
God has called you to do! How to fulfill your destiny with excellence! In this
podcast I talk specifically about how to recover loss and take action against
Satan's attack on your mind, your body, your emotions, and your possessions! SUCCESS THRU ACTION SERIES – PART 4 MUSIC
/ INTRO The
feedback from this Success Thru Action Series has been so great
that we are continuing two more sessions. We left off
last time discussing fear and imposed shame. Along with fear and imposed shame,
the enemy will also, at times, try to attack the seasoned warrior of Christ
with mental oppression. Again, I have some Good News for you. Oppression - both mental and physical - are included in
Christ's work FOR YOU. Christ was driven; he was abased and looked down upon.
Isaiah 53:7 says, "He was oppressed and he was afflicted." The Hebrew word for “oppress” (nagas)
in this passage means “to drive, to harass, to tyrannize, to oppress.” The original word used for “afflicted” (anah) means “to look down
upon, depress, abase, humble.” Christ was driven; he was abased and looked
down upon. In Isaiah 53:4, we read, "he carried our pains." The literal Hebrew meaning is “acute pain;
intense suffering: MENTAL or PHYSICAL." In Psalm 41, a
Psalm of David written 1,000 years before Christ, Kind David writes, "LORD,
be merciful unto me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against you."
(Verse 4) The Hebrew word here used for "soul" is
"nephesh" which refers to not only the mind, but also the heart: healing
for the intellect, the emotion, and the will, as well as the body. MUSIC Jesus carried sickness, sin, disease, poverty and
oppression - the works of the devil (Satan) - FOR YOU! YOU don't have to
carry them any longer! They do NOT belong to the believer in Christ! Jesus
healed the separation between God and man through His work (the atonement) FOR
US, and therefore ended Satan's dominion over ALL who would trust in Christ. "For
this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might DESTROY the works of
the devil." (1 John 3:8) Action, including intercession, is the key thing Satan
is afraid of in your life and ministry. He wants to STOP your action. But
he can’t if you do NOT let him! “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and
the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) The Greek word for “violent”
here used is “biastes” and means a “forcer” or “one who is energetic.”
The devil is AFRAID of your ENERGY directed towards the kingdom! Notice that most of the attacks Satan makes against
you are in the realm of the mind through lies: telling you that you are
ill, weak, going to die; or using imposed shame, fear, or discouragement. This
is why you must be proactive and DECLARE the BLOOD of Christ over your body,
mind, soul and spirit each day. (This way, even your emotions are covered.) MUSIC It's
interesting to note that one of the names of the devil is "Beelzebub."
The original Hebrew name means "Lord of the flies" and it was the
name of a Philistine [Palestinian] god. It was a "dung god" . . . a
"manure god." What a wonderful title for Satan: "Lord of the
maggots . . . the manure god!" Dead blood draws flies. GOOD NEWS! The LIVING
BLOOD of Jesus repulses Satan and his demons. Speak the BLOOD over your home
and family. Just as the Israelites applied the BLOOD to their doors
so that the death angel would pass over (Exodus 12), so you can apply the BLOOD
of Christ over your family and home by speaking it in faith over them. Declare
the BLOOD of Christ over your loved ones daily and over all that God has given
you by birth, adoption, or assignment! In case you ever become
- or have already been - a victim of any of these attacks of Satan, and
have suffered loss of spiritual or physical dominion, I have again some Good
News for you. What has caused you to suffer loss: Sin? Disobedience? Bad decision?
Whatever it was, God CAN turn the situation around for
you. God WANTS to turn it around for you! There are FOUR (4) major points to
consider for recovering your loss: 1. Realize there is a turning
point - a good future. (Remember King David.) 2. Do what God tells you to do.
Pray, listen, and obey. 3. Make your past glorify God.
MUSIC SCRIPTURES RELATED TO RECOVERING YOUR LOSSES: "So I will restore to you the years . . . the locust (the enemy) has eaten. You will eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; My people will never be put to shame." (Joel 2:25-26) YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL FUTURE!

DESCRIPTION:
How
to take ACTION so you can do the things you most want to do in life:
the things God has called you to do! How to fulfill your destiny with
excellence!
MUSIC
/ INTRO There is an old saying, "You are as others see
you." The devil knows if you have FEAR in your heart. If you do, ask
God to help you. Ask him to take the fear away. King David said, "What
time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (the LORD)." (Psalm 56:3) Go to the Word of God and
RECEIVE BY FAITH the power promised in the scriptures, such as: "For
God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7) Fear
is a spirit; therefore, you must speak to it. God is love and He is
spirit. Love is stronger than fear. Perfect love casts out fear. "There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment.
He that fears is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18) If you are afraid of
someone, ask God to give you His love for them. You can bind fear in the
name of Jesus, and cast it away from you. Command fear to leave, and use the name of Jesus against
it. Speak (declare) the BLOOD of Christ against it. It is your responsibility
to overcome fear. MUSIC SERIOUS cases of fear require four (4) steps: 1. A stayed (fixed) mind. You won't quit until fear is totally eliminated! 2. Confession of God's Word (1 John 4:18; James 4:7; 2
Timothy 1:7). 3. A step of faith - action. Speak to fear and take
authority over it. 4. Intercession and spiritual warfare (for others or
one's self). IMPORTANT: The reason for this attack of fear is to
get you to STOP action! The enemy’s chief concern is that you STOP doing what you
are currently involved in doing. You have been TOO SUCCESSFUL; also, your plans
for future endeavors are causing him to freak out. The devil is the most
frustrated person in the world today; he knows that his time is running out.
When the fullness of the Gentiles takes place, then all Israel (the nation as a
whole) will be saved. (Romans 11) MUSIC SunTzu, in his
book, The Art of War , says: “Every battle is won before it is
fought.” How true in Christian warfare: even the whole war is won because
of the victory of our Lord Jesus Christ. His death, burial, and resurrection
conquered the enemy and bought our freedom and eternal life. We take ACTION
on that victory by appropriating it in faith as we move forward. Another weapon in the arsenal of the enemy, in addition
to fear, is shame. The enemy will try to attack you with imposed shame. Lots of times, the enemy will attack even seasoned
warriors with imposed shame from family members or friends as a result of some
fault or failure from the past. There
are many examples of shame experienced by people of God in the Bible. None of is
are perfect: that's why we need a Savior! Abraham (the same as) sold his wife
two times. Moses killed a man in anger. David committed adultery and murder.
Peter denied Messiah three times in one night. We see that Adam's shame was
manifested in hiding. In Revelation 3:18, Jesus admonished the Church at
Laodicea to "Buy of me white raiment, that you may be clothed, (so) that the shame of our nakedness does not appear." Adamic shame; Inherited shame; Actual shame; and, Imposed shame. Every one of these types of shame may be remitted, or
canceled, by the atonement of Christ. The BLOOD of Christ paid for you and
your sins, and provides healing for shame. MUSIC The verdict of guilt, whether real or imagined, is shame.
It may be something inherited from Adam (who brought sin into the world as the
federal head of the race); or it may be something inherited from ancestral, or
family lines. It may be actual shame, resulting from an action you have
initiated. And, it may be psychological shame - real or false shame that people
or demon spirits have tried to impose upon you, resulting in oppression,
rejection, physical or mental sickness, and lack of production. Jesus Christ bore your shame. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that
our Lord Jesus despised the shame of the cross and his nakedness thereon, but
went through it because of the JOY set before Him: that is, Christ saw YOU able to
be made whole and to know God, with your sins forgiven and having eternal life,
as the result of His sacrifice. Jesus despised shame, and He despises it in
YOUR life. He died for YOU so that you do NOT have to carry shame. Messiah Jesus carried shame for YOU! Jesus is alive to remit guilt and its resultant shame
from your life today. You can appropriate the healing in His shed BLOOD for you
by calling on Him today. Pray and ask Him to deliver you. You can get back up because
He got back up! The Master has need of you in these last days. MUSIC Podcast time: 9 minutes, 36 seconds (with music) If you have a friend who is sick in body or mind, or is demon possessed, tell them about The Healing and Miracle Podcast at: www.healing.libsyn.com.

DESCRIPTION:
How to
take ACTION so you can do the things you most want to do in life: the things
God has called you to do! How to fulfill your destiny with excellence! SUCCESS THRU ACTION SERIES – PART 2 MUSIC
/ INTRO There
was a movie several years ago titled, Stuck On You, which starred
Matt Damon and Cher. It was about two brothers who were Siamese twins. Finally,
the brothers realized they needed to be separated (physically by surgery) in
order to do what each brother wanted to fulfill in his lifetime. They
reached this decision when one brother asked the other, "What is
that thing you want to do MOST in the world?" And then he
challenged his brother with this admonition: "You have to do
it!"
Let me
recommend eight (8) steps to take in order to help get you out of your desensitized
spirituality and into the vortex of God's anointing: 1. As much as
possible, stop all activity for a while, even ministry. 2. Get loose,
relax, and enjoy God. NOTE: Many times you will be tempted to start a new
ministry or outreach right away (while relaxing in your time of rest). That
would be like shooting yourself in the foot while you're walking to the
hospital. If God has given you NEW ideas or directives, take skeletal notes (or
even copious notes if you feel the necessity). Then store the notes for the
future time of implementing the project(s). You will find that, as you're
relaxing in the sunshine of God's love, an abundance of ideas will come to you. MUSIC 3. Take time to
dream. At The University of Excellence, of which I am
President and Regent, we discuss the fact that Albert Einstein, perhaps the
greatest mathematician and physicist of the last century, had two (2) major
assets:
At the U of E, I ask the students questions like -
I also ask them, “How long has it been since you” -
4. Know who you
are. Read through the epistles; learn once again WHO you are in Christ and
WHAT you have in Christ. You have to come to the place, once again, where you
KNOW the calling and destiny that has been designed for you before the
foundation of the world. True holiness, and also true Biblical prosperity, is
to KNOW that you're working "hand-in-hand" with God to shake nations
for Messiah Jesus. 5. Meditate.
Find the scriptures (rhema) that speak to you concerning your calling and
destiny and dwell on them. Speak them to yourself. See yourself doing the
things involved with your calling and destiny. Image them upon the screen of
your mind. See the places and the activities and then THANK God for their
fulfillment. Receive them by faith. SEE, SPEAK, THANK, RECEIVE. MUSIC 6. Change your
environment (and maybe your friends). This is why God sent his servants
into different areas, sometimes as a result of hard-times. It's a lot
easier if you do it for yourself, with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Imitational
faith (the copying of ministry styles used by others) results not only in lack
of creativity, but also inbreeding in the Body of Christ. Be yourself and be original! Don't be afraid to be
different. Study the lifestyles of God's servants through the centuries (in the
Bible, and throughout Christian church history). Study Apostle Handley's book, Militant
Church History, Copyright 1998 Handley World Services. 7. Re-evaluate
your goals. Which ones have been accomplished? Are there any goals that you
feel you should scrap for now, or permanently? Which ones are not accomplished
yet? Why are they not accomplished? Where are you in your time line, or schedule,
for their fulfillment? What
action will you take to implement them in a timely fashion? Are there any new
goals or projects God wants you to undertake? If so, do they fit into the
general scheme of your other goals? Are they completely separate from your
other goals? 8. Make your
plans fit into God's plans. The GREATEST ADVICE I can give you concerning
your plans is as follows:
Cry out
to God and tell Him you want to be used greatly by Him; that you don't want to
come home to Heaven until you've fulfilled, with excellence, your calling
and your destiny. And remember the words of King Solomon: "He that
fears God will come forth of them all." We are
to fear God … NOT men, demons, or anything else. The enemy knows if he can get
you to fear anyone or anything other than God, he can cancel your fear of God
and thereby void the operation of wisdom in your life (at least temporarily
until you become aware of what’s happening). You have to shut off the ideas of fear
and replace them with IDEAS OF FAITH. Use visual thoughts when
you have thoughts of concern. You will eliminate most of Satan’s attacks on
your mind. You will also destroy Satanic activity in its tracks! When you have
thoughts of fear, replace them with VISUAL THOUGHTS. So when you have thoughts
of fear - about your family, your
possessions, your relationships, your ministry, your health - replace them with
VISUAL THOUGHTS. See the Holy Angels ministering to, blessing and guarding your
family, your possessions, your health, and your ministry. By
visualizing your thoughts, you can even add emphasis (power and potency) to them by
decreeing them. Use the Holy Angels in your thoughts. See them helping you.
See the BLOOD of Christ over everything God has given you by birth, adoption,
and assignment. MUSIC CONSIDER: If we
turn back God cannot fight for us. Why? Because, when we turn our back, we are
disobeying our leading and our Leader. We are not taking ACTION.
We will
not see MIRACLES unless through ACTION we put ourselves in a position in which
God can work for us. God works in the area of the impossible. What is
impossible with men is possible with God. You may
not need direction. You may just need to go forward = ACTION. MUSIC Podcast

APOSTLE TALK - Future News Now!
POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION - PART 4: CONCLUSION ____________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION: In this show we discuss the final three Power Twins for Success and
Continued Vision PLUS the capstone … without which you will not be the
ultimate winner!
_____________________________________________________________ POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION - PART 4: CONCLUSION In previous teachings we discussed the FIRST FIVE TWINS for success and continued vision: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue; Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; Quest for Excellence PLUS Temperance; and, Organic Spiritual Endeavor PLUS Patience. In this teaching we will cover the LAST THREE TWINS: Principles of Value PLUS Godliness; Like-minded Associates PLUS Brotherly Kindness; and Vehicle for Attainment PLUS Love. When you combine your good desires with faith . . . ENTHUSIASTIC DESIRE PLUS FAITH . . . you have an unbeatable combination. You can begin to PLAN your future prayerfully based upon the God given desires of your heart. That’s one reason it is important to read and meditate upon the Word of God daily so you will KNOW and develop the will of God for your life. Remember . . . you can CREATE with your faith. Hebrews 11:1 tell us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.? Faith is the underpinning or support . . . a title deed (as in property) . . . that lets you KNOW you have the objects or affairs you do not yet see. It is a wonderful thing to have FAITH, but if you have a PLAN incorporating your desires to go along with your faith, it is even better! Here’s a SECRET that will allow you to SEE many MIRACLES: If your PLAN fits into God’s plan . . . . . . . you will have God’s FAITH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and God’s faith ALWAYS WORKS! You need to be able to make decisions based upon knowledge and quality input. Once again, this is where it is important to read and meditate upon the Word of God daily. You need DIRECTION in the many matters of life that face you now . . . and also about future planning. God has given you everything you need for LIFE and GODLINESS through His PROMISES and the KNOWLEDGE of Christ. In ministry and in business you need to draw upon quality research, marketing, and experience (sometimes the input of others). And you need to KNOW when to act. Timing is KEY to success in many courses of action. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, says that when he knows that something is right, and that the timing is right, he goes into it with MASSIVE ACTION. However, without VIRTUE a decision can have disastrous effects eternally and with no substance temporally here on earth. The Greek word for VIRTUE in the New testament is arete: it means excellence and valor. We need to be people of EXCELLENCE. Our nature should be to make excellent DECISIONS based upon VIRTUE. If we are following Jesus and listening to the Holy Spirit, we will be able to accomplish this continuously. “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.? [Colossians 3:23-24] Make your decisions based upon the fact that God is watching you! We are living in a day like the prophet Daniel described where “knowledge shall be increased? and we should take advantage of that knowledge to advance the kingdom of God. Daniel, in a passage of scripture dealing with the end times, tells us “ . . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.? [Daniel 11:32] Exploit, in the sense used here, means literally “to do successively unfolding bold, courageous works!? There are many ways to influence society and to reach the world for Christ. And there are many NEW ways to help yourself gain SUCCESS! Pray and ask God to reveal these to you. Then, obey Him and be diligent to study in order to prepare yourself to be used by the Master: to be a good steward. No amount of SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, however, will be of significant time value without SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. No matter how successful we become in life, it will not be of any time value unless we know God personally. If we know God through His Son, Jesus the Christ, then we have eternal life. [John 3:16] When you study the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, and to teach you so you can teach others. The scripture instructs us, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.? [2 Timothy 2:15] Combining SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE will provide you a powerful impetus for ongoing success and continued vision. To be really successful we need to share our success with others: our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our community, and the world. THE MORE YOU KNOW . . . THE MORE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN USE! This applies not only to mental knowledge but also to knowledge gained through the acquisition of physical skills or craftsmanship. Practice excellence in your CHARACTER. Be transparent and keep your word. Psalm 15 is a good start for practical living and developing excellence in character. Also, loving our neighbor as we do our self, and doing unto our neighbor as we would have him do to us, is the guideline our Master set before us. Practice excellence in your WORK. Be a good steward for your earthly employer and your Heavenly employer. Colossians 3:22 instructs us NOT to do sight-labor: that is, work that needs watching. In your quest for excellence, develop your skills to the BEST of your ability. Be a good manager of what God has given you and over which God has placed you. Keep improving and growing in your knowledge base, your acumen, and your skills. Study Part ‘A’ of this newsletter to help develop excellence in acumen; particularly study the section on “Decisive Nature and Virtue.? Along with the quest for excellence you need to partner with temperance, or self control. Many people, on their quest for excellence, do NOT allow for rest or leisure. This is vital to SUCCESS and CONTINUED VISION. Rest, and also quietness, is necessary for wholeness. A key scripture and principle that I have tried to practice in my life for many years is found in Isaiah 30:15: “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall you be saved; and in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.? Leisure is more than just nonwork. It is when we PERMIT ourselves time for rest, growth, and development. Leisure is BOTH the embryo and the catalyst for creativity, and for NEW experiences, people, play, and places. We have to permit ourselves the time to rest . . . to re-create . . . and to create! Isaiah 58:13-14 tells us about an ADDED BONUS when we honor the Sabbath of the Lord. “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: Then shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.? To be really successful we need to share our success with others: our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our community, the world . . . and Heaven. We need to have TOTAL success in life: in this life on earth and in the eternal beyond; and God has provided just such means to attain that goal. God has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED for: LIFE, and GODLINESS. “According as His divine power has given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue.? [2 Peter 1:3] He has given us PROMISES so that we can share or partner with Him in His divine expansion - or growth of descendants - after we have escaped, by His saving grace, the ruin that is in the world through lust. In other words, after we are born again and start serving Christ, we can partner and be a companion with God in successfully bearing fruit: i.e., growing other seed-descendants. These include our own children who are born again while also reaching out to the rest of the world. “Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.? [2 Peter 1:4] How can we involve ourselves in powerful, prolonged, and productive effort that will be self multiplying and profitable, not only temporally here on Planet Earth but also eternally in Heaven? The answer: be actively engaged in organic ministry growth! Be involved in a work that is propagating living, continuous development of the Kingdom of God. The definition of the word propagate is “to breed by natural (or supernatural) processes from a parent origin; to promote an idea or knowledge widely; to transmit in a particular direction.? There are around 60,000 people groups on Planet Earth, with Christians in most regions of the earth. With the expansion of global trade, internet access, and communications, many - if not most - of these groups understand and view themselves as one worldwide church in an interconnected world. To be involved in Kingdom Work is to be involved with the heart and purpose of God. It is to be involved LOCALLY and GLOBALLY . . . and both TEMPORALLY and ETERNALLY. The earth is getting smaller with regard to travel, communications, and interfacing of cultures. At the same time the church is becoming more intertribal. We see the horizon of the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy that the Good News will be preached, proclaimed, or published before the time of His return. “And the gospel must first be published [preached] among all nations.? [Mark 13:10] The word for nations here used is “ethnos? - as in ethnic group - meaning “a race of the same habit, or culture, or tribe.? Read and study the Biblical pattern of church growth in the Book of Acts. Certain things are evidentiary and these same patterns are manifest in any POWER GROWTH church today. 1. When people believed in Jesus, and after they were baptized, a group was formed for: Worship; Teaching; Prayer; Helps; and, Evangelism. 2. Prophets and teachers were raised up by the Holy Spirit. 3. The Christians prayed and fasted. 4. The Holy Spirit called out apostles. 5. These apostles were sent out (NOT “released?) by the believers after hands were laid on them. 6. As the apostles went to different areas they preached the Good News. 7. Other churches were raised up as a result of the preaching and the work of the apostles. 8. The churches grew and ministered to the believers, the community, and the world. Notice, in Acts 13:1-4, it was the Holy Spirit who CALLED the apostles (verse 2) and it was the Holy Spirit who SENT them (verse 4). In between the calling and the sending was the ratification by the elders with the laying on of hands (verse 3). The apostles were NOT “released by men? . . . it was the Holy Spirit who called and sent them. Notice, this is the NORMAL PATTERN of church growth. This is to be expected today! It should be a regular practice of a local church to SEND OUT workers: both for long term commitment and for short term service. We should always be willing to make changes for the Lord; that is part of discipleship. However; there are times we have to wait . . . because God is developing things or situations where we are going to be sent . . . or because He is developing things in our lives . . . or both! But if you wait for an EXTENDED period of time, then examine yourself to make sure you are willing to leave your comfort zone. God may be speaking to you and redirecting you, but you may not be listening because it is NOT what you want to hear. Patience is really cheerful, or hopeful, endurance. True biblical patience, as expressed by the Greek word “hupomone? is constancy. It is the kind of enduring patience, or patient continuance in well doing. It is knowing the will of God for this season of your life, and looking forward to being used by God in SPECIAL SERVICE in the future, also! Be involved in ministry that is sending out the workers, birthing or planting new churches, preaching and teaching to facilitate the MIRACLE working power of God. Jesus sent out his followers . . . and He is sending YOU out to: Preach and teach; Heal the sick; Cast out demons. This threefold ministry, or triangulation of mission, will empower you and your ministry; it will keep you FRESH under the anointing of the Spirit. You will be continuously creative, causing you to be more successful and to have continued vision! Now, if you add to your patience PRINCIPLES OF VALUE and GODLINESS, you will have the spiritual and physical mechanics to add other people, like-minded associates, to your asset bank for success and continued vision. PRINCIPLES OF VALUE PLUS GODLINESS One of the great aspects of reading and studying - as well as meditating upon - the Holy Bible daily is so we can learn precepts and principles. We can learn HOW God thinks about certain things and WHY He wants us to behave in a particular manner. Situations vary in life; we may not always come up against situations that have been codified. However, if we know HOW God thinks about certain things and WHY God expects certain responses from us, then we can transfer those principles into every arena of life. We need to know both the Old Testament and the New Testament so we can navigate successfully through the issues of life and have continued vision. There is an association between the Law of God and vision from the Lord. “The law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.? [Lamentations 2:9] “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.? [Proverbs 29:18] It is the same way in our personal lives and ministries. If we adhere to the teachings of God; that is, live by the principles we learn about HOW God thinks and WHY He expects certain behavior, then we will not only have SUCCESS but also continued VISION. Actually the combined traits of PRINCIPLES OF VALUE and GODLINESS will be concomitant factors. Here again is the key: knowing and obeying the Word of God, which is His Will! LIKE-MINDED ASSOCIATES PLUS BROTHERLY KINDNESS You need to have strong relationships with God and with those people to whom God will lead you to work. Appreciate the people with which God has chosen you to work. However, don’t try to “force? relationships: don’t make commitments to every person you meet. God will show you those people to whom you should be committed when you are FIRST committed to Him! Give positive support, or “reinforcement? to those people you’re committed to … • Whether they are OVER YOU in a position of authority; • You are OVER THEM; or, • You are on the same level (working or ministry associates). Remind each other that “God will fight for us!?. Give your associates REWARDS from time-to-time for: • The good work they do; • Their consistency and faithfulness; or, • Their availability. These rewards do not (always) have to be monetary. Sometimes a “pat on the back?, or a “word of encouragement?, is really meaningful: letting them know the good they are doing is not going unnoticed. Let people KNOW you are THANKFUL and APPRECIATIVE of their association with you. Maybe an invitation to dinner, or just spending time alone with them or their family, whether it’s a few minutes or a day or two. It is also important for a man to give positive support to his wife. There are so many ways a wife serves a husband in his ministry that may go unnoticed by him. Simple brotherly kindness to and among your group will go a long way to impacting the world with Christ’s love and power! This is the purpose of The Apostles Group and the reason we write this newsletter and provide our world services free. We need to appreciate those nearest to us, and never to take them for granted. This is where “family altar? is so important: don’t neglect ministering to your own family! They may be your GREATEST DISCIPLES!! Read and discuss the Holy Bible together, and then pray together. It is good to spend time refreshing your mind thinking about all the successes God has given you in the past. God has NOT brought you this far to make you fail. God is FOR you! One time the disciples of Jesus were in a ship in the middle of the sea where the waves were rough and the wind was strong. They became fearful until Jesus came to them on the water and told them not to be afraid. They FORGOT that the Lord had commanded them to GO to the other side. He did NOT intend them to sink or to fail. Jesus intends for you to SUCCEED! Take time to study in the Holy Bible how others have succeeded: Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, Esther, Mordecai … and the Apostles. Associate with like-minded people who SHARE YOUR VISION (or who know
what you’re about) . . . people who are POSITIVE. You want to be able
to brainstorm with these people, and not to have ideas - no matter how
ridiculous - be shot down as soon as they are verbalized. IMPORTANT: This group of like-minded people with whom you will share your vision, goals, and new ideas, is NOT an accountability group. This is NOT a group of people to whom you decide to be accountable for your personal life, your ministry, or your finances. This is a group of people with whom you need to have OPENNESS for CREATIVITY: • To dream; • To plan; • To get feedback; and, • To implement. We have seen that when we add to our patience the twin gifts of GODLINESS and PRINCIPLES OF VALUE, we will have the spiritual and physical mechanics to add other people, LIKE-MINDED ASSOCIATES, to our asset bank for success and continued vision. Next . . . you can select your VEHICLE FOR ATTAINMENT. VEHICLE FOR ATTAINMENT PLUS LOVE What is the means by which you will arrive at your goal? What is the vehicle which will transport you to the attainment of your dream? When an athlete in a championship game scores the winning goal, he is merely manifesting a composite of the years of training, wins and losses, experience, exercise, and mental conditioning that have preceded this moment. Likewise, the composite of major decisions in our lives are usually the summation of the smaller minor decisions and habit-patterns we have formed along the way. To some people, the vehicle for attainment of their goals is a multilevel marketing plan. To others, it is a business and investment plan. To many, it is a retirement plan. To the ULTIMATE WINNER, it is the vision and the miraculous arrived at through seeking God in prayer and fasting: combining ENTHUSIASTIC DESIRE and FAITH with DIRECTION from God. God will reveal YOUR vehicle for attainment as you spend time alone with Him. Shut off your television and your video / DVD player . . . spend time with the Creator of the Universe. Talk to Him . . . listen to Him. God is NOT stupid. The Heavenly Father knows the person who wants to be used by Him . . . the person who wants to spend time with Him. The Creator will reveal by His Spirit the vehicle for you to use in the attainment of your goal(s) . . . and when to CHANGE that vehicle. God, the creator of the goal-desires in your heart, knows the methodology by which to bring them to pass. He knows the vehicle by which, when coupled with FAITH, will bring the goal-desires into fruition. There is an amazing spiritual truth we find in Genesis 11:1-9. Before the nations of the earth were scattered on the face of the earth, the earth was of one language and one speech. The people had decided to make a city and a tower, whose top would reach unto heaven; they wanted to make a name for themselves so they would not be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. “And the Lord said, ‘Behold, the people is one, and they all have
one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.? [verse 6] Archaeological records show us that these were wicked and idolatrous people. Yet we see in verse 6 that God said, “nothing will be restrained from them?. Notice they had ONE goal and ONE speech. They were unified in purpose and language. If this principle of “oneness? works in unbelievers … for ungodly, wicked people … how much more will it work for believers … for God’s people … who have ONE goal and ONE speech: a common vision and a common language! Especially spirit-filled Christians who have a common objective and who can pray and decree a thing (or a set of objectives) in not only their common earthly language(s),but also their heavenly language: tongues! In Job 22:28 we read, “You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you …? In the original Hebrew language the word “decree? is a primitive root form of the word “gazar?, which means “to cut out exclusively, or to decide?. In its primitive form it is used also as a “quarrying? term … as in cutting out stone from a rock quarry. It means more than to “say? or “speak?. It conveys the meaning of “cutting something out in your mind’s eye?; that is, “to envision [to make a vision], to decide upon it, and confess it? … and then it will be established unto you! If you and your Christian brothers and sisters have a common vision or goal, and decide upon it, confessing it in a common language, speaking it … “nothing will be restrained from you which you have imagined (or, envisioned) to do!! [Read again Genesis 11:1-6.] The SECRET . . . the capstone to the whole process . . . without which you will not be the ULTIMATE WINNER . . . is LOVE. The vehicle for attainment of your goals, no matter how intense your desire, your faith and the other twins we have studied, cannot bring you into success and continued vision without LOVE. Love is the channel through which the gifts of the Holy Spirit work. “Faith works by love.? [Galatians 5:6] Remember … if you have LOVE, then FAITH can work. It is a wonderful thing to have FAITH, but if you have a PLAN incorporating your desires to go along with your faith, it is even better! Here’s a SECRET that will allow you to SEE many MIRACLES: If your PLAN fits into God’s plan . . . . . you will have God’s FAITH . . . . . . . . . . and God’s faith ALWAYS WORKS! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it is anointed with LOVE! I trust this series on “The Eight Power Twins for Success and Continued Vision? has been a blessing to you, and that it will help you accomplish your God-given desires!

APOSTLE TALK - Future News Now!
POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION - PART 3 ____________________________________________________________
How to receive the fifth pair of Power Twins for success and vision, Organic Spiritual Endeavor PLUS Patience,
and how to use this Power Twin to enable us to share our success with
others. Also, how to be involved in a work that is propagating living,
continuous development of the Kingdom of God.
In the previous two teachings we discussed the FIRST FOUR TWINS for success and continued vision: Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue; Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; and, Quest for Excellence PLUS Temperance. The remaining twins for success and continued vision will be discussed in subsequent newsletters. ORGANIC SPIRITUAL ENDEAVOR PLUS PATIENCE To be really successful we need to share our success with others:
our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our community, the
world . . . and Heaven. We need to have TOTAL success in life: in this
life on earth and in the eternal beyond; and God has provided just such
means to attain that goal. God has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED for: GODLINESS. He has given us PROMISES so that we can share or partner with Him in His divine expansion - or growth of descendants - after we have escaped, by His saving grace, the ruin that is in the world through lust. In other words, after we are born again and start serving Christ, we can partner and be a companion with God in successfully bearing fruit: that is, growing other seed-descendants. These include our own children who are born again while also reaching out to the rest of the world. "Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." [2 Peter 1:4] Now . . . how do we use the precepts we have learned in the previous two newsletters so as to be involved in ORGANIC SPIRITUAL ENDEAVOR? In other words, how can we involve ourselves in powerful, prolonged, and productive effort that will be self multiplying and profitable, not only temporally here on Planet Earth but also eternally in Heaven? The answer: be actively engaged in organic ministry growth! Be involved in a work that is propagating living, continuous development of the Kingdom of God. The definition of the word propagate is "to breed by natural (or supernatural) processes from a parent origin; to promote an idea or knowledge widely; to transmit in a particular direction." My purpose in this section is to tell you the SPECIFICS of how to accomplish this. There are around 60,000 people groups on Planet Earth, with Christians in most regions of the earth. With the expansion of global trade, internet access, and communications, many - if not most - of these groups understand and view themselves as one worldwide church in an interconnected world. To be involved in Kingdom Work is to be involved with the heart and purpose of God. It is to be involved LOCALLY and GLOBALLY . . . and both TEMPORALLY and ETERNALLY. The earth is getting smaller with regard to travel, communications, and interfacing of cultures. At the same time the church is becoming more intertribal. We see the horizon of the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy that the Good News will be preached, proclaimed, or published before the time of His return. "And the gospel must first be published [preached] among all nations." [Mark 13:10] The word for nations here used is "ethnos" - as in ethnic group - meaning "a race of the same habit, or culture, or tribe." Read and study the Biblical pattern of church growth in the Book of Acts. Certain things are evidentiary and these same patterns are manifest in any POWER GROWTH church today. Worship; Teaching; Prayer; Helps; and, Evangelism. 2. Prophets and teachers were raised up by the Holy Spirit. 3. The Christians prayed and fasted. 4. The Holy Spirit called out apostles. 5. These apostles were sent out (NOT "released") by the believers after hands were laid on them. 6. As the apostles went to different areas they preached the Good News. 7. Other churches were raised up as a result of the preaching and the work of the apostles. 8. The churches grew and ministered to the believers, the community, and the world. Notice, this is the NORMAL PATTERN of church growth. This is to be expected today! It should be a regular practice of a local church to SEND OUT workers: both for long term commitment and for short term service. Notice, in Acts 13:1-4, it was the Holy Spirit who CALLED the apostles (verse 2) and it was the Holy Spirit who SENT them (verse 4). In between the calling and the sending was the ratification by the elders with the laying on of hands (verse 3). The apostles were NOT “released by men? . . . it was the Holy Spirit who called and sent them. WARNING #1: It is not enough just to see new churches being raised up. This is where many POWER CHURCHES become deceived into complacency and become spiritually diffused. There are two (2) main causes for this effect: 1. They see many new churches being raised up, but begin to lack clarity or conciseness of mission or vision. Over time they become spread out and increased in numbers but diffused in power. Sometimes this is because of pride, or due to comparing themselves with other regional churches. Sometimes it is because of lack of sacrifice they were willing to render at their outset. 2. They do NOT bring NEW POWERFUL LIFE back into their parent body. This can be prevented and offset by sending out short term mission groups for a period of three to six weeks. These groups may go to a nearby region or they may go far away overseas to another country. They may combine evangelism, medical, and help ministries. They may go to un evangelized territories, or they may go to assist those who have previously been sent out by the parent church; or they may go assist missionaries and Christian workers from other church groups. This will result in a TRIPLE blessing: 1. It will inject LIFE back into the parent church when they return from their short term ministry and share their testimonies; 2. it will also inject LIFE into the area where they are sent; and, 3. it will inject LIFE into the ones sent, influencing their future discipleship for the Lord. WARNING #2: It is of great spiritual detriment for the new churches - or individuals - being raised up to feel, or be instructed, that they are UNDER THE COVERING of the parent church. 1. They may be accountable to the parent church, or other bodies, but their covering is CHRIST AND HIS BLOOD ... NOT men or the church! To teach otherwise is to cause them to lean on men and not the Lord, and to become disciples of men and not Christ! This is one of Satan's tricks to quench TRUE evangelistic and prophetic ministry, and to lure them into a false sense of safety or covering. 2. This teaching will usually be prevalent where potential
candidates for ministry or the mission field are taught that they are
not ready to be "released" from the parent body. To be "released" is implying that they are being held in "bondage." "Who the Son sets FREE is free indeed . . . absolutely!" [John 8:36] They may not be ready to be sent out, but they surely should not be held in bondage, nor have that thought implied. Be part of an organic church growth . . . or organic ministry growth. Not indirectly . . . but DIRECTLY. It is often said, "If you can't go in person, then go by your prayers . . . or go with your money." Surely we can share by any of the three means: going, praying, and giving. But be involved in ALL THREE. Now, if you are elderly, or constrained in some way that you can't go yourself, the Lord understands. But be involved as much as you can: for your sake, for your church and ministry's sake, and for the sake of those to whom you could or should be ministering. If you are very busy in your business, ministry, or family life, try to set aside vacation time to go on a ministry trip overseas or to some area in great need. If you are in a geographic area where there are no power churches or ministries, then pray for the Lord's direction. He may want you to START such a ministry. There are lots of good ministry groups who need help. You can contact them on the internet. If you can, let your family be involved with you. Young children should not go to some areas because of sanitation, dehydration, and other risks. There is a great need in many countries for water and for wells to be drilled. There is a big need in many areas for other helps such as medical missions. Whatever you do, combine it with preaching the Good News. Some groups do lots of social work but never share the Gospel. Others do lots of evangelism but never help meet needs of the local people. Do both! Be involved in ministry that is sending out the workers, birthing or planting new churches, preaching and teaching to facilitate the MIRACLE working power of God. You may be a business person that God has anointed to help reach the world for Christ; but minister personally, as well as trough your business. It will keep you creative, and help you to be even more successful while maintaining continued vision. The anointing will keep you vibrant! Jesus sent out his followers -- and He is sending YOU out -- to: Preach and teach; Heal the sick; Cast out demons. This threefold ministry, or triangulation of mission, will empower you and your ministry; it will keep you FRESH under the anointing of the Spirit so that you will SEE and EXPERIENCE MIRACLES ... real miracles for the glory of God. You will be continuously creative, causing you to be more successful and to have continued vision! These things began Jesus both to DO and to TEACH . . . and these things He would have us to DO and to TEACH! [Acts 1:1] Most of the people reading this newsletter are already in ministry or thinking and praying about it. My advice to you is this: "Go big or stay at home!" In other words, don't make ministry a hobby or an avocation. Your whole life should center around God's will for you. Or rather, your whole life should be in the CENTER of God's will. If not, start praying to that end. We should always be willing to make changes for the Lord; that is part of discipleship. However; there are times we have to wait . . . because God is developing things or situations where we are going to be sent . . . or because He is developing things in our lives . . . or both! Patience is really cheerful, or hopeful, endurance. True biblical patience, as expressed by the Greek word "hupomone" is constancy. It is the kind of enduring patience, or patient continuance in well doing. It is knowing the will of God for this season of your life, and looking forward to being used by God in SPECIAL SERVICE in the future, also!

APOSTLE TALK - Future News Now!
POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION - PART 2
How to receive the second pair of Power Twins for success and vision. POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION - PART 2 I guarantee you success and continued vision! You will not be barren or unfruitful, if you practice what I am teaching you in this series. Also, you will have an abundant entrance into Heaven. Remember, there are rewards in Heaven for your labor of love and faithfulness here on earth. Jesus wants to say to you when you enter Heaven: "Well done, you good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord." [ Matthew 25:21] You need continued vision for vitality. The Bible says, "Without a vision, the people perish." [Proverb 29:18] To be successful in this life and to prepare for life in Heaven . . . and to maintain continued vision so we will be fresh and vibrant . . . there are eight (8) TWIN STRATEGIES to help you. In the last teaching we discussed the FIRST TWO TWINS for success and continued vision: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and, Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue. To review these first two twins, go to the Archives of previous podcasts. We will discuss the next two (2) twins in this teaching. They are as follows: Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; and, Quest for Excellence PLUS Temperance. The remaining twins for success and continued vision will be discussed in subsequent teachings. SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE PLUS SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE If you are going to be used greatly by God, then you will have to make up your mind ahead of time that you are willing to do things . . . and exploits . . . that are out of the ordinary. Jesus did not fit into the normal mold of man, even though He was God in human flesh. He was a perfect man . . . but he was focused on doing the will of God . . . not the will of man. Likewise, if you make the decision to do the will of God during your time here on earth, then neither will you will fit into the normal mold of man: you will seem eccentric to the world. You will find yourself continuously "ahead of the curve." The definition of eccentric is as follows: 1. Unconventional and slightly strange; 2. Not placed centrally or having its axis placed centrally. But you see, this definition is from the perspective of what is “normal? and God did NOT call us to be normal by the world’s standards. Rather, the normal Christian life is abnormal to the world. The origin of the word “eccentric? is from the Greek “ekkentros?: “ek? meaning “out of? plus “kentron? meaning “center? or “out of center.? John Steward Mill gives an insightful comment of truth concerning this: “Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in society has always been proportioned to the amount of genius, mental vigor and moral courage which it contained. That so few men now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of our time.? Specialized knowledge is highly dependent upon genius and mental vigor. The second of these two, mental vigor, can complement what may be lacking in the first of the two: genius. What is that GREAT THING you want to do for God? Do you have the SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE to attain that goal? Are you willing to sacrifice, study, and research to obtain the knowledge required to complete the task? Don’t be a lazy Christian. God did not call us to complacency, but rather to excellence. I have been on this planet for several scores of years, and I still spend much time studying and researching to find NEW, BETTER, and MORE PRODUCTIVE ways to reach the world for Christ and to help my fellow man. Don’t be afraid . . . and never get too old . . . to go back to school for more formal education. One of the best schools for Christians to learn MEDIA PRODUCTION, and one which I fully endorse, is “Full Sail Real World Education? based in Orlando, Florida, USA. They may be contacted by phone at 800.226.7625 or 407.679.6333. FAX to 407.678.0070. You may contact them on the web at WWW.FULLSAIL.COM. Some of their major fields of study are: Film; Digital Media; Recording Arts; Computer Animation; Entertainment Business; Show Production and Touring; Game Design and Development. You can tell them that Prince Handley recommended you. We are living in a day like the prophet Daniel described where “knowledge shall be increased? and we should take advantage of it to advance the kingdom of God. Daniel, in a passage of scripture dealing with the end times, tells us “ . . . but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.? [Daniel 11:32] Exploit, in the sense used here, means literally “to do successively unfolding bold, courageous works!? There are many other ways to influence society and to reach the world for Christ other than through the media. And there are many NEW ways to help yourself gain SUCCESS! Pray and ask God to reveal these to you. Then, obey Him and be diligent to study in order to prepare yourself to be used by the Master: to be a good steward. No amount of SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, however, will be of significant time value without SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. No matter how successful we become in life, it will not be of any time value unless we know God personally. If we know God through His Son, Jesus the Christ, then we have eternal life. [John 3:16] One of the measures of a man's success in life is how many of his children make it to Heaven. If we know the Lord, we are living part of our eternal life NOW, while here on earth, and then in Heaven. It will never end! Jesus taught us, "What does it profit a man if he gains all the world, and loses his own soul? Also, what shall a man give in exchange, or to buy back, his soul?" [Mark 16:26 - Mark 8:36] We need to have TOTAL success in life: in this life on earth and in the eternal beyond; and God has provided just such means to attain that goal. God has given us everything we need for: LIFE, and GODLINESS.
He has given us PROMISES so that we can share or partner with Him in His divine expansion - or growth of descendants - after we have escaped, by His saving grace, the ruin that is in the world through lust. In other words, after we are born again and start serving Christ, we can partner and be a companion with God in successfully bearing fruit: that is, growing other seed-descendants. These include our own children who are born again while also reaching out to the rest of the world. "Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." [2 Peter 1:4] We should BELIEVE this and EXPECT it. Our children should be our greatest disciples. If not, something is wrong, or out of place. Learn the PROMISES in Gods Word; believe them and appropriate them by faith. Take quality time daily to study and meditate in God’s Word. I usually separate my “study time? from my “devotional time.? In the morning, before I start my active day, I have my devotional time where I just want God to speak to me and minister to me through His Word, even before I have my prayer time. I made a rule years ago: “No Bible, no breakfast.? Eat the Word of God first. Jesus said, “It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.? [Matthew 4:4 and Torah - Deuteronomy 8:3] When you study the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you, and to teach you so you can teach others. The scripture instructs us, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.? [2 Timothy 2:15] Combining SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE will
provide you a powerful impetus for ongoing success and continued
vision. To be really successful we need to share our success with others: our family, our brothers and sisters in Christ, our community, and the world. “And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.? [Exodus 31:1-5] When SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE is combined with SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE, there is a holy anointing upon our lives: our talents, skills, and abilities. Together, they not only complement each other, but they synergize each other. You will be a candidate for MIRACLES - real miracles! But always remember: “Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.? [1 Corinthians 8:1] Temper your knowledge (both specialized and spiritual) with LOVE! Daniel was a leader, counselor, and basically Prime Minister in
three different foreign kingdoms (in which he was captive) partly
because of his knowledge base. The Bible tells us concerning Daniel and
the three Hebrew teenagers who accompanied him into captivity: QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE PLUS TEMPERANCE The Bible tells us another of the secrets of Daniel’s success: “It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; and over these three presidents: of whom Daniel was first, so that the princes might give accounts unto the presidents, and the king should have no damage.? “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an EXCELLENT spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.? [Daniel 6:1-3] The word here used for “excellent? is “yateer? and in its root form means “preeminent, or very exceedingly excellent.? That’s because the spirit that was in Daniel was the Holy Spirit. Because of Daniel’s separation and devotion to God, he manifested a quality of excellence in whatever he attempted. The Greek word for virtue in the New Testament is “arete?: it means excellence and valor. We need to be people of EXCELLENCE. Our nature should be to make excellent decisions based upon virtue. “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.? [Colossians 3:23-24] Don’t compare yourself with someone else; just do what you know God wants you to do. Do your best, don’t be satisfied with low quality work or effort. It’s interesting that the origin of the word mediocre is from the Latin “mediocris? which means of “middle height or degree? but literally means “somewhat rugged or mountainous.? It is derived from the words “medius? for “middle? and “ocris? for “rugged mountain.? To do mediocre work is actually harder on you because you are causing your conscience to condemn you. It is like climbing a rugged mountain. The Bible says, “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.? [1 John 3:20] The EXCELLENT choice may be more of a sacrifice temporarily, but it will be easier on you in the long term. You will never go wrong striving for excellence! Practice excellence in your CHARACTER. Be transparent and keep your word. Psalm 15 is a good start for practical living and developing excellence in character. Also, loving our neighbor as we do ourself, and doing unto him as we would have him do to us, also is the guideline our Master set before us. Practice excellence in your WORK. Be a good steward for you earthly employer and your Heavenly employer. Colossians 3:22 instructs us NOT to do sight-labor, that is: work that needs watching ... or working because someone is watching. In your quest for excellence, develop your skills to the BEST of your ability. Be a good manager of what God has given you and over which God has placed you. Keep improving and growing in your knowledge base, your acumen, and your skills. Study Part 1 of this teaching to help develop excellence in acumen; study the section on “Decisive Nature and Virtue.? Along with the quest for excellence you need to partner with temperance, or self control. Many people, on their quest for excellence, do NOT allow for rest or leisure. This is vital to SUCCESS and CONTINUED VISION. Rest, and also quietness, is necessary for wholeness. A key scripture and principle that I have tried to practice in my life for many years is found in Isaiah 30:15: “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall you be saved; and in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.? The word leisure comes from the Latin word “licere? which means “to be permitted.? The Latin word for work is “negotium? which means “nonleisure.? Most so-called advanced societies today have turned this around and view leisure as nonwork! Tim Hansel, in his book When I Relax I Feel Guilty, points out that the Greeks stressed the centrality of lesiure, but they added another important facet. The Greek word for work was “ascholia,? which means “absence of leisure.? The word for leisure was “schole,? which leads to the English words for school and scholarship. Leisure, then, was a time for growth and development. Leisure is more than just nonwork. It is when we PERMIT ourselves time for rest, growth, and development. Leisure is BOTH the embryo and the catalyst for creativity, and for NEW experiences, people, play, and places. We have to permit ourselves the time to rest . . . to re-create . . . and to create! In the last teaching we discussed the FIRST TWO TWINS for success and continued vision: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and, Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue. In this teaching we discussed the third and fourth twins: Specialized Knowledge PLUS Spiritual Knowledge; and, Quest for Excellence PLUS Temperance. The remaining twins for success and continued vision will be discussed in subsequent teachings.

APOSTLE TALK - Future News Now!
POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION ____________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION: How to receive the first two Power Twins for CONTINUED SUCCESS and
VISION: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and, Decisive Nature PLUS
Virtue. The remaining Power Twins will be discussed in following
podcasts. _____________________________________________________________ POWER TWINS FOR SUCCESS AND VISION No matter how successful we become in life, it will not be of any
time value unless we know God personally. If we know God through His
Son, Jesus the Christ, then we have eternal life. [John 3:16] Jesus taught us, "What does it profit a man if he gains all the world, and loses his own soul? Also, what shall a man give in exchange, or to buy back, his soul?" [Mark 16:26 - Mark 8:36] We need to have TOTAL success in life: in this life on earth and in the eternal beyond; and God has provided just such means to attain that goal. God has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED for: LIFE, and GODLINESS. "According as His divine power has given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue." [2 Peter 1:3] He has given us PROMISES so that we can share or partner with Him in His divine expansion - or growth of descendants - after we have escaped, by His saving grace, the ruin that is in the world through lust. In other words, after we are born again and start serving Christ, we can partner and be a companion with God in successfully bearing fruit: that is, growing other seed-descendants. These include our own children who are born again while also reaching out to the rest of the world. "Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." [2 Peter 1:4] We should BELIEVE this and EXPECT it. Your children should be your greatest disciples. If not, something is wrong, or out of place. I guarantee you success and continued vision! You will not be barren or unfruitful, if you practice what I am about to teach you. Also, you will have an abundant entrance into Heaven. Remember, there are rewards in Heaven for your labor of love and faithfulness here on earth. Jesus wants to be able to say to you when you enter Heaven: "Well done, you good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord." [ Matthew 25:21] You need continued vision for vitality. The Bible says, "Without a vision, the people perish." [Proverb 29:18] To be successful in this life and to prepare for life in Heaven . . . and to maintain continued vision so we will be fresh and vibrant . . . there are eight (8) TWIN STRATEGIES to help you. The FIRST TWO TWINS for success and continued vision are as follows: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and, Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue. We will discuss the first two (2) twins in this teaching. The remaining twins for success and continued vision will be discussed in subsequent teachings. ENTHUSIASTIC DESIRE PLUS FAITH If you do not have burning desires and goals throughout life, you will become bored. The English word enthusiasm means intense enjoyment or interest. It has its root in the Greek word enthous, meaning possessed by God. Josiah became king of Judah when he was eight years old and reigned for 31 years. "And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with ALL HIS HEART, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like unto him." [2 Kings 23:25] There is a wonderful promise in Mark 11:24 which Jesus declared: "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you DESIRE, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Another wonderful promise in Psalm 37:4 states: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the DESIRES of your heart." When you have pleasurable emotion in the Lord, when you delight in Him . . . when you are ENTHUSED in your worship of Him . . . then He will give you the DESIRES of your heart. He first gives them to you by placing them in your heart and mind. And secondly, He gives them to you by granting them . . . bringing them to fruition . . . after you have consistently applied your FAITH. These desires will many times be to do GREAT THINGS; and the enemy, the devil, will lie to you and tell you that you can NOT accomplish them. But the devil is a liar and God is truth. This is one way you know that those desires in your heart to do BIG THINGS for Christ are from God: because the devil is trying to talk you out of them! When you combine your good desires with faith . . . ENTHUSIASTIC DESIRE PLUS FAITH . . . you have an unbeatable combination. You can begin to PLAN your future prayerfully based upon the God given desires of your heart. That's one reason it is important to read and meditate upon the Word of God daily so you will KNOW and develop the will of God for your life. Remember . . . you can CREATE with your faith. Hebrews 11:1 tell us, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is the underpinning or support . . . a title deed (as in property) . . . that lets you KNOW you have the objects or affairs you do not yet see. It is a wonderful thing to have FAITH, but if you have a PLAN incorporating your desires to go along with your faith, it is even better! Here's a SECRET that will allow you to SEE many MIRACLES: If your PLANS fit into God's plans . . . you will have God's FAITH . . . . and God's faith ALWAYS WORKS! DECISIVE NATURE PLUS VIRTUE You need to be able to make decisions based upon knowledge and quality input. Once again, this is where it is important to read and meditate upon the Word of God daily. You need DIRECTION in the many matters of life that face you now . . . and also about future planning. God has given us everything we need for LIFE and GODLINESS through His PROMISES and the KNOWLEDGE of Christ. In business we need to draw upon quality research, marketing, and experience (sometimes the input of others). And we need to KNOW when to act. Timing is a KEY to success in many courses of action. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, says that when he knows that something is right, and that the timing is right, he goes into it with MASSIVE ACTION. However, without VIRTUE a decision can have disastrous effects eternally and with no substance temporally here on earth. The Greek word for VIRTUE in the New testament is arete: it means
excellence and valor. It also includes the connotation of the miracles.
We need to be people of EXCELLENCE. Our nature should be to make
excellent DECISIONS based upon VIRTUE. Make your decisions based upon the fact that God is watching you! There are several words for TIME in the Bible, but in our discussion here of DECISIVE NATURE we are talking about a due season of time, or an opportune season of time. It is the meaning which if you miss the window of time presented you . . . or available at this particular time . . . then you will MISS the opportunity! In the New Testament it is the Greek word “kairos.? An example of exercising a DECISIVE NATURE along with VIRTUE is in the Old Testament in the Book of Esther when the Jews were facing extermination in 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. Mordecai told Queen Esther: "For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but you and your father's house shall be destroyed: and who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Ruth is another example of a person who exercised a DECISIVE NATURE and VIRTUE when she decided to go to Israel with her mother-in-law. She said: "Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God will be my God." [Ruth 1:16] In this podcast we have discussed the first two twins for SUCCESS and CONTINUED VISION: Enthusiastic Desire PLUS Faith; and, Decisive Nature PLUS Virtue. The remaining Power Twins will be discussed in following podcasts. _____________________________________________________________ If you have been helped or received a miracle as a result of this study, email us and let us know what God has done for you.
