It's Time to Come Up: Part 2
It’s Time to Come UP!
Part 2 || Day 1
Haggai 2:6-9 NKJV
“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Luke 6:38 NKJV
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Hebrews 7:1-10 NKJV
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,” without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Today, we are going to dive into one of the biblical principles that will position you for the end-times wealth transfer. What we are going to teach this week is somewhat controversial in other churches and ministries. However, in this church it is not a subject of controversy, it is a subject of prosperity. Time does not allow us to go around this church and have people testify of what God has done in their finances since they started attending ALC Ministries.
Therefore, even though this subject might not be very popular to preach and teach in other churches, this ministry eats it up. Because when you truly have the Spirit of God leading your life, you will discover this one truth; the nature of the Heavenly Father takes over in your life. In case you don’t know yet, one of the greatest natures of our Heavenly Father is HE IS A GIVER! God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.
Not only the Father, but the whole Godhead are givers. Jesus not only gave His life, but in Ephesians 4, He gave gifts to the church. He gave the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. These are gifts that Jesus gave to the church to equip you and bless you. These five gifts came from who Jesus was in His earthly ministry.
The Holy Spirit is a giver. The Bible tells us in First Corinthians 12, He gave these gifts to the body of Christ. He gave the gift of tongues, the interpretation of tongues, the gift of prophecy, the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, the discerning of spirits, the gift of faith, the gifts of healings, and the working of miracles.
Let’s pray together…
