The Gospel of Wealth

The Gospel of Wealth
by Andrew James Hemstrought

Introduction
If you are expecting "seven steps to success" from this book you are going to be
disappointed. If you are looking for the true source of all wealth then read on. This
book will lead you to a far greater power than "success principals." It will lead you
to God himself.
Many books have been written on the subject of biblical prosperity and its
principals – this isn’t one of them. Hundreds of motivational speakers can expound
exceptionally upon the prosperity principals contained in the Bible: desire success,
build quality teams, keep a positive attitude, and never give up. These methods and
many more can be found within the pages of the bible. They do have their place in
the natural mans world, but we as believers are called to a greater life.
The substance of this book is much more profound than a simple stating of seven
steps to prosperity. If you are steeped in "success programs" you might want to lay
them down so you can pick up this greater truth –God is wealth.
Once you’ve learned to obtain wealth through the power of God every other
method will prove insignificant. You will realize that true wealth can only be
obtained through a living relationship with the ‘Most High’ God. You will find that
wealth obtained by the power of God is a different kind of wealth – a supernatural
wealth built on the bedrock of heaven.
I am not criticizing the efforts of others bringing a message of prosperity. I also
won’t spend time proving why those who teach natural success principles from the
bible are settling for less than God’s best. The intention of this book is to simply
state the Gospel of Wealth as it was given to me.
If you open your spirit and receive the words written in this little book, the Holy
Spirit will come upon you and you will be changed. These words will impart into
your spirit a spiritual force from Heaven and you will begin your walk in the
supernatural wealth of God. May the power of God come upon you and remain.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter One

God is Wealth
God is wealth and in Him there is no
poverty at all.
When confronted with the glory of God, the human mind blows clear, flesh gets
weak, and time stands still. Everything changes in the presence of the Most High
God. I know I’ve been there.
When I was seventeen years old I was spending time ‘praying The Word’ – taking
a section of the Bible and praying it in the first person. I happened to be in Psalm
119 and thought I’d be smart and pray the whole thing – all 176 verses of it!
As I was kneeling next to my bed with the Bible open in front of me –I must have
gotten about half way through– all of a sudden, the room disappeared. The bed was
gone, the Bible was gone, and my room was gone. I was, at once, in some other
place. I found myself face down on the floor in a grand auditorium. I was aware of
others on either side of me – I could count fourteen. I’m sure there were more. We
were facedown in a semi-circle with our heads directed toward the center of this
enormous room.
In the middle of this room was, what I knew to be, the Throne of God. The Throne
was high and lifted up on steps similar to stairs and there were two unusual beings
– one on either side of it. I don’t know what these beings were I just I assumed
they were angels.
I didn’t lift my head, I could but I didn’t dare. Everything I could see I saw by
knowing it was there. All I could think was, "Man, this place is holy, what am I
doing here!" All I could speak was "holy, holy, holy."
Thus says the high and lofty one
who inhabits eternity, Whose name
is Holy.
I dwell in the high and holy place,
BUT WITH HIM ALSO
who is of a thoroughly penitent and
humble spirit. Isaiah 57:15a
We don’t grasp the enormity of God. The limits of our thinking can’t weigh the
vastness of His wealth. We live in the box of a finite mind. Time and measurement
belong to man but infinity belongs to God.

Physical strength crumbles in the holy presence of the Most High. People fall to
the floor: they don’t speak, they barley can think. The extreme glory of God is hard
to express.
Imagine a room full of the richest most powerful people in the world, even if you
couldn’t muster the courage to speak, you surely could stand. With God this isn't
so. Flesh reacts poorly in the presence of God.
Emotion and reason evaporate in the presence of God. Holiness is all that’s left.
Only one word is found on the lips of the consumed worshipper – holy, holy,
holy… Holiness encompasses all that God is. He is Holy.
Holiness is the attribute that makes God, God. Holiness is the defining agent that
sets Him apart from the ‘almost as high’ or some other being. All mighty, all
knowing, ever present, the best, the most, and the greatest: these traits can belong
only to ONE and that One is therefore Holy.
Holiness is not an endless list of human dos and don’ts as many have preached.
Holiness is what God is. Everything he is, does, or has to do with begins and ends
in pure holiness. If it isn’t holy it’s not from God.
The gifts of God are holy.
Every good and perfect gift is from
above; it comes down from the
father of lights,
in whom there can be no variation or
shadow cast by his turning.
The gospel of wealth begins with an understanding of true holiness.
Holiness is purity in its purest state. Holiness is absolute perfection – absolute
freedom from corruption and incorruptible by nature. Holiness is marked by being
or possessing – the greatest, the best, or the most of something or EVERYTHING
without limitation or equal. Holiness, in short, is God himself.
Nothing can be ‘half’ holy. It is or it isn’t. Only one can be most high. Only one
can be the greatest. These words confine all others to an unavoidable lower rank –
not quite as high or mostly great.
Whatever the attribute, whatever the condition, if it is of God it is incorruptible,

complete, and perfect. It is HOLY. The life of God is holy for in him there is no
death at all. The light of God is holy for in him there is no darkness at all. The
wealth of God is holy for in him there is no poverty at all.
Poverty is a corruption and cannot
remain in the presence of God.
When God shows up poverty
disappears.
Creation was the out-breaking of Heaven’s perfection into the natural realm. All
wisdom, wealth, taste, beauty, strength, money, or glory came from one prime
source – Heaven. In the beginning was God. All creation came from one infinite
storehouse – God himself.
Talk about God and you’re talking about wealth. Talk about wealth and you’re
talking about God. They are one in the same for God is the author and source of all
that is.
The true measure of how much wealth a person has is based on how well
connected they are with God. Any other measurement is fatally flawed. Having
God is having wealth. If you have God you have wealth. You might not know how
to access this wealth, but you have it.
God is wealth and His wealth is holy. Poverty is a corruption that cannot remain in
the presence of God. When God shows up poverty disappears. If you live in His
presence, poverty will cease to exist in your life.
God is wealth and in Him there is no poverty at all.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Two

In the Garden
In the Garden of Eden, Adam lived in holiness of wealth. There was life without
death, health without sickness, and food without work – there was no lack. The
Living God richly provided every good and perfect thing for his enjoyment.
All needs and wants were met from God’s riches in glory. Wealth in the garden
was perfect and complete and holy. It was heaven on earth.
The Garden was an exact representation of Heaven. No corruption existed. The
glory of the Most High manifested freely, every day. Wealth transferred from
heaven to earth unrestrained.
Every blessing that heaven had the garden sprang forth abundantly. Trees, seeded
by heaven itself, yielded fruit from the very life and nature of God. Supernatural
plants sprang up yielding the fruit of love, joy, peace, wisdom, knowledge, and
strength. Life ruled.
Death and poverty didn’t exist. Heaven had none to plant. Heaven was the seed
and Earth was the soil. Creator and creation were in perfect harmony. The garden
was heaven on earth.
Adam lived in that garden. This was not a vegetable garden set in strait rows.
There was no white picket fence. This garden was a complete kingdom, a heavenly
domain that Adam presided over with royal aplomb. To the Earth, Adam was God.
Adam: looked just like God, talked just like God, thought just like God, acted just
like God, and walked just like God. Adam was such an exact likeness of the Father
that the Earth responded to him in the exact same way. He was God’s exact image.
He was also God’s best friend and they shared the same traits, desires, hopes and
dreams. They had a wonderful relationship.
Adam was the master of wealth. His words moved the Earth. He was the ‘most
high’ on the planet – an awesome sight to behold.
People have been ruined by a religious image of Adam and Eve. Religious fiction
has them prancing about with nothing on but a few well-placed fig leaves. Equally
misguided is the notion that they were naked and didn’t know it. If Adam and Eve
were naked and didn’t know it then they were not only naked but naked imbeciles.

They were not naked and they knew it. Adam and Eve were clothed with the Glory
of God.
Who coverest thyself with light as
with a garment. Psalms 104:2
They wore the glory of the Almighty. They adorned themselves with the wealth of
Jehovah. The same light that shown out of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration is
the light that clothed Adam from the inside out. The same glory that shown out of
the face of Moses when he returned from the Mount with the Ten Commandments
in his arms is the glory that covered Adam and Eve.
All creation is clothed with one kind of glory or another, animals with hair, fish
with scales, and birds with feathers. The variety of species and the variations of
glory range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Ugly ostriches bury their heads in
shame. Plumed peacocks parade about like pompous pedants do with the letter P.
Never believe the myth that God went to exotic extremes in dressing his creation
only to clothe his most prized possession in a grass skirt. God put on man what he
wore – the radiant light of glory.Man was clothed with the glory of God.
His clothes proclaimed his class.Man was lord of the earth, not the lion. His
apparel put the peacock to shame.
In society clothes proclaims class. It tells people exactly who we are and what
we’re up to. When wealth increases it inevitably shows up on our bodies. Jewels
get bigger. Gold gets heavier.
In some cultures people carry all their wealth on their bodies. Most try to
symbolize it in some way. In still other cultures it is the servant who wares all the
wealth, the weight of it being more ‘burden’ than beauty. Having a servant at all
meant you were a person of position and to make your servant bear your riches
only added to your prestige.
Symbols of Power
Joseph, when he was exalted to the head of ancient Egypt, was given a signet ring.
A signet ring was the visible symbol of his authority, power, and wealth in Egypt.
It could be carried with him everywhere he went. He couldn’t possibly carry all the
wealth of the greatest kingdom on earth but that ring represented just as much.
The amount of wealth that a person
can wear is unlimited if each article
of clothing represents an external
power or privilege.

Lucifer was in the garden of God. Every precious stone was his covering;
carnelian, topaz, jasper, chrysolite, beryl, onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald.
His settings and engravings were of pure gold – the gold of heaven.
He was an angel of obvious privilege and status. The stones and engravings were
for more than just appearance they gave him access to parts of the kingdom few
others had. He was upon the holy mountain of God and walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire.
Lucifer’s position as the anointed cherub – represented by the stones and insignia –
gave him direct access to God and man. He could communicate freely with them
only when he was wearing the proper attire.
Eve suspected no evil as Lucifer approached her in order to deceive. Why should
she? He was clothed correctly. Unfortunately, his clothes said one thing and his
tongue said another.
Lucifer, as beautiful and wealthy as he was, would never be as glorious as Adam.
The wealth and prestige that Adam possessed exceeded Lucifer’s in every way. He
was out-classed and irritated by this new god-man. Adam was God’s friend.
Lucifer was God’s servant. Adam was king of the kingdom of Earth. Lucifer
wasn’t.
Flaunted before Lucifer daily was God’s man – living just like the Most High.
Jealousy filled Lucifer’s heart. Hatred burned in him like a fire. He thought he
should be the one to rule the earthly kingdom, not Adam. He thought he could do a
much better job. He believed he deserved the status much more than anyone – he
was, after all, the anointed cherub. He wanted to be like the "Most High God." He
had always desired to be like God yet, God gave it all away freely to some newly
created being who never worked a day in his life! It was more than Lucifer could
stand.
He devised a plan to strip Adam of his glory. He knew that the source of Adam’s
prosperity was continuous contact with the Most High Himself. "If I could break
that contact, I’ve won", he thought.He could only do it by casting doubt on God’s
Word. "Has God said," became his infamous line…
Adam sinned and his communion with God’s holiness ended. The glorious light
went out. Adam died.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Three

Out of the Garden
Outside of the Garden of Eden was a kingdom of poverty and death. Separation
from God made everything difficult. Soil that once sprouted at the slightest
mention of a harvest now refused to germinate anything but weeds and worries.
Wisdom and knowledge that used to fall from trees evaded Adam with every step
and stride. His mind dulled. His mouth gathered dust. His eyes pasted shut. Outside
the Garden was a different world. Barren.
This man who was raised in pure privilege now stood naked and stripped of all
power. Everything he knew about living revolved around God and God’s glory. He
lost his key to wealth and life. Kicked out of the Garden into a strange ‘new’
world, he was naked and afraid. The height of his mental acumen that day would
be a fig leaf loincloth – pitiful.
Being outside the Garden might have been tolerable had God said, "you’ll have to
work hard for awhile and then I’ll let you back in," but he didn’t say that. He said,
"you’re going to have to work hard, real hard, sweat, and then die."
From now on Adam’s way would be the hard road of trial and error. Without God
the work of Adam’s hands would be natural and limited and full of problems.
God’s words echoed ominously in his ears. "You’re going to have to work." He
didn’t know the meaning of the word. Work with my hands? What could God have
meant? This made no sense. God’s power had done all the work before – divine
intelligence and spiritual exploit occupied his every waking thought. With God’s
hands in the Garden everything worked supernaturally and superabundantly. Never
had he heard such a thing. The word WORK grew in his mouth, gagging him, like
a piece of rancid meat. Work was the original four-letter word.
Adam had no choice it was work or die. Even worse, it was work and then die. Life
began to rot.Out in front of him lay a world unforgiving and brazen with the
unexciting prospect that it would kill him in the end. Working to survive became
the norm and promised a life colored in shades of gray. What used to be bright
exotic colors infinite in spectrum through his heightened sensory perception now
became boring, dust coated, and bland.
No accomplishments beyond the daily hand to mouth routine would be tolerated.
He once was renowned for the naming of newfound species, now he was

inextricably connected with the failure of mankind. He went from light to fig leaf,
from life to death.
Working to provide became the norm for every generation to follow. All would
loose the meaning of what it was like to be provided for by the glory of God. Life
became a striving to survive, a climbing of ladders, a clamoring over others, and
fighting to succeed. Not only must people now work they must work for a new
master. The one who saw his opportunity and exploited it, Lucifer (Satan). Adam’s
loss was Satan’s gain.
Satan became, at once, the god of this world. He took control of the kingdom in
true dictatorial fashion. He punished insubordinate people with the stripes of
sickness and kept them down with the blinding force of ignorance and poverty. His
diligent deception turned common sense upside down. Even today some religious
people think that sickness comes from God and poverty is a blessing. In Satan’s
perverted theology poverty becomes a prerequisite of holiness. Religious
propaganda ruled. Truth was forbidden. Language was changed to root out
everything righteous.
Darkness was the greatest of the Devils tools. He turned fear of death into a
profitable enterprise. Man through fear of death became subject to every type of
bondage.
Adam’s sin separated everyone from the presence of God. Original sin made it
impossible to live a holy life. Every generation after Adam was handicapped from
the start. They grew further from the Most High every day.
No one on Earth needs a lecture on life outside the Garden of God. Poverty,
sickness, strife, hatred, famine, drought, destruction, mental illness, demonic
influence, wars, oppression, political instability, and injustice all stem from Satan’s
dominion on the Earth and mans inability to love only good. Even the so-called
wealth that rich people have accumulated is riddled with problems. Nothing is
good, pure, perfect, and holy anymore. Except maybe death.
Adam had it harder than anyone did for he knew what he had lost. We, on the other
hand, have become used to this predicament like an animal raised in captivity – we
know something is wrong but the bars don’t bother us anymore. We’ve never
known the freedom of God’s glory, but the free creature captured enters a living
hell.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Four

Enter Jesus
For this reason was the Son of God
manifested that He might destroy the
works of the devil.
God knew what Satan was up to. He knew that Adam would fall. So from the
second child of Eve (Abel) God began to send prophets and preachers of
righteousness to point the way back to the glory of God.
Each new prophecy gave a little more revelation of God back to man, here a little,
there a little. As men obeyed, God blessed them. Prosperity, health, and fertility
were the common blessings of the day. If you sinned, sickness and poverty came
home to live with you.
God eventually sent a man named Moses who penned an extensive list of dos and
don’ts (the Law) outlining a means for man to obtain the blessings of holiness.
Under the Law the blood from innocent bulls and goats were needed to cover
man’s sin. The Law also enumerated exactly what the blessings were for obedience
and what the curses were for disobedience. Deuteronomy 28
The prosperity was the well known and highly desirable: health, wealth, fertility,
and protection from enemies. The curses were a retraction of the same: no health,
no wealth, childlessness, and war.
Serve the lord your God with
joyfulness and gladness of heart for
the abundance of all that he has
blessed you with lest these awful
curses come on you and overtake
you.
The blessings and the curses were both ABSOLUTE, perfect, and complete – in a
word, HOLY. If you were blessed, you were excessively blessed and if you were
cursed, you were cursed beyond recognition. The blessings were the best and the
curses were the worst. The command to serve the Lord your God for the abundance
all was one you obeyed or else! There was no middle ground, no gray area. There
never is with God.
.
Under the Law people never really had contact with the Spirit of the Most High, it
was an arms-length contract with the blood of bulls and goats bridging the gap –

long enough for God to get His blessings through. Elaborate systems of blood
sacrifices never took away the sins of men it only covered them for one year, so the
next year they had to be done again.
This Law made the sin of man more evident than ever and proved man incapable
of living a holy life. It was too much for any person to follow, anyone who wasn’t
perfect, that is. But when the right time came, God sent His son to live a life that
was perfect and holy, one who could fulfill all the requirements of the law and
succeed.
Enter Jesus, born of a virgin.
Through the power of a sinless life Jesus fulfilled all righteousness. The blood
flowing through His veins was Holy. This is the blood that could save man from
his predicament and not only cover it.
Jesus, The Son of God, entered the body by means of a virgin. He didn’t acquire
the dead spiritual nature that plagued Adam and kept everyone from the true Spirit
of Wealth. He had the Divine nature of God and the ability to do the law perfectly.
He never faltered. He never failed. He never sinned. Jesus through the Spirit
completely fulfilled the law and lived a holy spotless life as no mere man could do.
He fulfilled all righteousness.
At this, the Holy Ghost settled on Him like a dove from heaven. Jesus once again
began to demonstrate the kingdom of heaven on earth. He is called the second
Adam.
Preaching and Proving the Kingdom
Jesus preached the good news about the kingdom being accessible to man once
again and proved it! He healed the sick, cast out devils, and raised the dead. His
ministry was God’s will done on earth as it is in heaven.
Jesus was the last piece of the prophetic puzzle mapping out the road back to the
tree of life. He stood there eating the fruit of the tree and said to everyone, who
would listen, "follow me."
After living that perfect life under the law without sinning. Jesus offered himself as
a holy sacrifice and completely abolished the power of sin and death over mankind
forever. Man, through the blood of Jesus, has unlimited access to the Most High
again for the first time since Adam. This is God’s hidden plan and Satan never

figured it out.
Jesus took upon himself everything that Satan brought on man as a result of
Adam’s sin and separation from God: disease, darkness, death, poverty, separation,
and sin. Nothing was left out. He was a holy sacrifice.
After paying the price for mankind, Jesus rose from the dead, destroyed the power
of sin and it’s evil fruit, and completely destroyed the power of hell and the grave.
Satan’s kingdom was utterly laid waste. Then Jesus took his seat at the right hand
of the God – all things subject to him. Jesus is seated, once again, in the pure
holiness of wealth.
To walk in the Gospel of Wealth you must make Jesus the true lord of your life.
You must renounce Satan and sin and take your place as a son of The Most High.
Jesus took your place in punishment and you must take his place in prosperity.
Here’s how it’s done.
Declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead
For with the spirit man believes unto
right standing with God and with the
mouth declaration is made unto
salvation.
Do it. You’ve just taken the first step into walking in the wealth of God
Therefore if any man is in Christ, he
is a new creature. Old things have
passed away and behold all things
have become new and all things are
of God. 2Cor. 5:17
Jesus paid it all. Jesus took your place on the cross that day. Everything you should
have received as a punishment for sin, he paid for in full. You were completely set
free from all guilt and condemnation.
He was made poor that you might be made rich.He took your sickness and by his
stripes you were healed.The punishment for your peace was upon him and his
perfect peace is yours.
He bore the crushing weight of your sins in his own body and you live in
righteousness through him. He was made a curse for you and you are redeemed

from the curse of the law. He was separated from the Most High so that you could
be joined to him through the Blood of Christ.
Receiving Jesus and his sacrifice makes you perfect, complete, and holy in God’s
sight. You become fully capable of walking with God, in his world, just as if you
had never sinned. It’s like sin never existed.
Everything’s been paid for; even future mistakes – a luxury Adam never had. The
blood of Jesus lives on to make continuous intercession for you so you never have
to leave the Garden again. The blood of Jesus is holy.
For God has make Jesus to be made
sin for us that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him. 2Cor.
5:21
Even when we were dead in
trespasses and sins he made us alive
together and raised us up together to
sit in heavenly places.
Jesus is seated in the highest position of authority in the universe and you are
seated right next to him. All the triumph and blessing of Jesus are bestowed on us
in his name.
In him God now longer sees our past, he sees Jesus.
In him we have all things back that Adam lost in the fall.
In him we have access to the throne of God to find help in times of need.
In him we are the righteousness of God. In him we walk with the Most High.
In him we have perfect peace.
In him there is life more abundantly.
In him we have healing and health.
In him there is protection and security.
In him there is no darkness at all.
In him we have access to Divine wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
In him we command the angels.
In him we have authority over demons and devils.
In him we are free from all fear, even the fear of death.
In him we are redeemed from the curse of the law and all its consequences.
In him we become God’s best friend and live daily with Him just like Adam did in
the garden.

In him we are the third Adam. Jesus restored our privilege to the power of God.
In him we are holy.
For you know the grace of our lord
Jesus Christ that though he was rich
yet he became poor that you through
his poverty might be rich. 2
Corinthians 8:9

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Five

Solomon's Temple
It was no secret, everyone knew that Solomon’s wisdom was more than just
smarts. Solomon worshiped the Spirit of Wisdom.
We see him writing in the Wisdom of Solomon 7:7-13
I (Solomon) prayed, and prudence was given to me; I called for help, and there
came to me a spirit of wisdom. I valued her above scepter and throne, and
reckoned riches as nothing beside her; I counted no precious stone her equal,
because all the gold in the world compared to her is but a little sand, and silver
worth no more than clay. I loved her more than health and beauty; I preferred her
to the light of day; for her radiance is unsleeping.
So all good things together came to me with her, and in her hands was wealth past
counting; and all was mine to enjoy, for all follows where wisdom leads.
A Spirit came to Solomon, a Spirit
named Wisdom. The Holy Ghost
was that Spirit of Wisdom.
Solomon courted the Spirit of Wisdom like a lover. He introduced Her into the
earth in a way no one had ever seen before. Divine wealth was the result.
Through this wonderful worshipful Spirit Solomon built a temple that was one of
the seven wonders of the ancient world. Unsurpassed by anything ever seen or
heard, the fame of this temple was known the world over. Kings and queens, wise
men and astrologers, traversed barren continents to see what the noise was all
about. What they saw shocked them. The Holy Spirit of Wisdom lived there. More
than just a shrine built next to a smart mans house, this place was where God
himself lived and every visitor knew it instantly.
One visitor, the Queen of Sheba, came to ancient Jerusalem bringing gifts for
Solomon. She loaded her camels with the finest riches her kingdom could provide
in hopes of gaining an audience with the opulent king. What she witnessed when
she arrived took her breath away.
It might not be hard to steal a poor man’s breath but stealing the breath of a
wealthy queen is a different story. Before her stood far more than she ever
imagined – the consummate measure and standard of kingly excellence by which
all else must be compared. The Wisdom of God was at work.

An unearthly perfection pervaded the place. Every facet of the domain flowed in
pure eloquence beyond anything any mere mortal could manage. The standing at
attention of his servants, their apparel, and the ascent by which he went up to the
temple: The wisdom and skill with which Solomon handled his affairs was
seamless, like looking to the mirror of eternity or the fiery heart of a flawless
diamond.
Overwhelmed, the queen immediately gave glory to God. As did every person
confronted with a work of the Wisdom of God. "Oh, my God," was the response of
choice, God’s hand was so evident.
God was revealing himself using Solomon as an instrument. The more Solomon
yielded himself to the Spirit of God the more the Spirit flooded his life. The more
Solomon gave glory to God the more God’s personality shined through. The
temple excelled beyond words. Solomon’s wealth could not be surpassed.
Knowing ‘The Great One’ was
Solomon’s success. As long as he
worshiped the Most High he
prospered.
Solomon’s father David received supernatural instructions on how to build this
structure. Divine revelation made possible engineering feats not possible for
centuries to come. This pattern was so exact that a command could be given that
no sound was to be heard on the building sight. Stones weighing several tons had
to be cut to precise specifications and then moved to the building location and fit
perfectly.
The Temple was built of dressed stones already prepared and fitted in the quarries,
and all the beams and other woodwork were also prepared away from the site of
the permanent erection, "so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of
iron heard in the house while it was in building" (I Kings vi, 7).
The pattern of this earthly temple
was made after the likeness of the
Heavenly one – the Temple of God
in Heaven.
Imagine a building up to 20 stories tall completely covered in gold. Sitting atop of
mount Moriah it could have been seen from over the whole land. When sunlight hit
it the glow was heavenly. When Solomon asked God to hear those who prayed
when facing this place it was easy to understand because from most locations in

the kingdom you could see it.
Some would contend that the building was flat or built horizontally. This is not
true. God is high and lifted up. There were three main rooms to the structure and
two winding staircases. It takes two staircases to join three floors. This also
accounts for some of the universal awe surrounding it. No one had ever seen
anything like it before. Everyone had seen a horizontal temple.
Experts like to make speeches on how men in Solomon’s time didn’t have the
knowledge to build a vertical structure of such proportions. To that I say, exactly!
Man alone couldn’t do it. It’s structural blueprint was given by God.
The same working of the Spirit that enabled Noah to construct a massive ark
without former formal knowledge was working in Solomon’s day; not only
through Solomon but through his masons.
All these things had far greater meaning than even David ever knew. The design,
quarrying, and implementation of the temple pointed directly to you. You are the
temple of the living God. As God has said I will dwell in them.
You as a believer are built out of living stones from the One the builders rejected –
Jesus. Do you think God would put this much effort in building wealth into his
early temple only to leave his later ones impoverished
The later shall be greater than the
former.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Six

The New Temple
What? Know you not that you are
the Temple of the Living God?
When Jesus gave up the ghost on the cross of his crucifixion, the thick curtain that
separated the Holy of Holies was torn from the top to the bottom and the Name and
Presence of the Lord would never again live in temples made by human hands.
The former temple was made out of gold, stone, and wood, but He will come and
live in you. You will become a temple in the flesh, built by the supernatural forces
of heaven. You will be greater than Solomon’s was. The latter temple shall be
greater than the former.
God wants to make his home in you. He desires to live and display his wealth
through you in the earth. His wealth, not yours, not the work of your hands, but the
work of His.
You are living stones.
If the Spirit of God lives in you, you are the temple of the living God. Your job
becomes the same as Solomon’s was. Worship the Spirit of Wisdom and let Him
build in you a dwelling place.
You pray – like Solomon – and prudence will be given to you; you call for help
and there will come to you a Spirit of Wisdom. All good things together will come
to you with her, and in her hands will be wealth past counting; and all will be yours
to enjoy, for all follows where wisdom leads.
God is no respecter of persons. The same Lord is rich unto all that call upon Him.
He comes in you to live, really live. He will build every blessing that Heaven
contains into you like His own private estate. You are His property. You are His
garden.
The work in you is great because the house is not for man but for the Most High.
He isn’t going to change his lifestyle to inhabit your body. You are going to
change so He can live freely through you. People build homes as a form of selfexpression, so it is with the person of the Holy Ghost. If He is to live in you as a
house you must change your desires and dreams into His – renewing your spirit,

mind, and body.
He will clean His house up. We live in relative squalor compared to what He’s
used to and there is a lot of remodeling and repair that will be done. Change is
inevitable.
This is a process. God is not going to take over without your consent. Your will
has a lot to do with it. He won’t do anything until you want it done. This is what
takes the most time, cultivating desire, getting you to see the needed improvements
and agree to have them installed. There has to be agreement because you live there
too.
You might ask, why all the effort?
That he might clearly demonstrate
through the ages to come the
immeasurable riches of his free
grace toward us in Christ Jesus. Eph.
2:8
Wealth glorifies God when it is gotten God’s way. Why, because God is wealth.
He created it. He designed man to live in it. His Holy Spirit of Wisdom lives in it
and always produces it when left to His own devises. If He lives in you, you are
going to live in wealth too.
The Holy Ghost glorifies Jesus because he takes what is his and transmits it unto
you. All the wealth that is Jesus’ is the Holy Spirits job to transmit to you.
We are the body of Christ, possessed by the Almighty. His desires, his goals, His
way, all become our ways and this glorifies God. Fear not, it is your Fathers good
pleasure to give you the Kingdom. This is true worship.
The Holy Ghost is pure wealth. Never forget that. Worship Him. If you do, your
results will be the same as Solomon’s with the only difference being you won’t be
living next to God, you’ll be living with Him.
In whom, you also are built together
for a habitation of God through the
Spirit.
Ephesians 2:22

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Seven

Life More Abundantly
Jesus obtained incredible wealth through his defeat of the devil. The exalted Christ
is seated in the heavens, far over and above all things. There is nothing to compare
heaven’s wealth with, it is the standard by which all else must be rated.
The second Adam – Jesus – belonged nowhere but in the highest holiest heaven.
Heaven retains the supereminence of prosperity that the Divine nature demands –
the purity and wealth of holiness. Coming to earth was a massive sacrifice. Going
to hell for our sins was even a greater insult. Hell is the sewer where all things
ignoble are flushed.
Jesus rose from that dreadful pit. Death rejected Him – the Author of Life – like
the sea coughing up cork. His holiness didn’t belong in the pits of hell and once the
price for our sin had been fully paid it couldn’t be kept. The repulsion propelled
Christ far above all the heavens and he came to rest on the upper edge of divinity.
He obtained a name that was above every name in the three worlds – heaven, earth,
and hell. He sat atop all principalities, powers and rulers of the universe; his
enemies became his footstools. His dominion filled everything with Himself –
Jesus Lord of lords. The glory of His wealth outshines everything earth could offer.
What’s more incredible is that we were raised up with him and seated in the same
heavenly place of authority. This place is far over and above all other things.
Evidently we have more power available to us than we know.
When Jesus rose from the dead He
ascended high above the heavens
and filled all things with himself.
The Fullness
Out of His fullness we have all received.
This fullness of all things is what He is. This fullness is what he has. It’s out of this
fullness we have all received. The gifts we obtain from Him are the standard of
Christ’s own perfection. Eph. 4:10-13
It is from His high and holy position that He gives gifts unto men. His gifts come
from that far over and above heavenly place, not from a lower place. This insures

that the quality of the fruit must be greater and higher. Everything comes from that
far over and above heavenly place.
The same spirit makes us alive with Him. He raised us up together and made us sit
together in that same heavenly seat in order to clearly demonstrate through the ages
to come – that age even now – the immeasurable riches of His grace. Eph. 2:7 The
Holy Ghost takes every possession of Jesus and reveals and transmits it unto us.
John 16:14-15
Most people don’t understand this and waste time asking God for things Jesus
doesn’t have. "Oh God, just get me by. All I need is a little. I’m not asking for
much." If this is what you’ve been asking for you’re not asking for anything, at
least not anything God has to give.
The Most High has no half blessings. He has no little loans for losers. He has no
mediocre miracles to move you out of a mess. Most people attribute ordinary
circumstances to God when in reality they are everyday coincidences. Onlookers
can rightly doubt the veracity of your claims of half miracles and your faith looks
even more like a waste of time to them, because your religious thinking has made
something out of nothing.
God has no impotent flickerings of light. Every good and perfect gift is from above
and comes down from the father of light with whom there is no variation. If there
is some weakness to the work or some empty space in need of improvement don’t
blame God.
If it’s not the best, God didn’t have anything to do with it. If it’s not the greatest,
you’re looking at the wrong Author. Your destiny in Christ is to be strengthened
with mighty power by the Holy Ghost so He may live in you and have power and
be filled with all the fullness of God.
The fullness of God leaves no room for inferiority. The best, the most, the greatest,
and perfection mark the blessings of the Most High. There is no turning from this
definition of holy completeness. There is no variation to perfection. If your
"blessing" didn’t come with a "HOLY" label attached to it, it didn’t come from
God and it wasn’t manufactured in heaven. Heaven’s manufacturing has divine
quality control. Don’t conjure up mystical meanings for everyday manifestations.
The works of the Spirit need no explanation. They come complete. They are
obvious and holy.
Everyone knows the blessing of God when they see it. His works are obvious. It is
a rare opportunity for most. How often do people see a deformed leg straighten

out? How often do people see angels? How often do they get supernatural
knowledge about tomorrow’s events and the wisdom to act profitably from it? I
can guess the answer, not often enough.
Are you one of those people? Are you living in the power of God?
A person living in the power of God will experience the supernatural every day.
You can and should expect the supernatural every day. Today, if you will hear his
voice and harden not your heart. If you can hear from God nothing will be
impossible to you.
Paul warns against being carnal and walking as mere men. We are not to live as
mere mortal men. We are supernatural! We must learn to walk in the powers of the
world to come. This is your new home and your new way. The Gifts of the Holy
Spirit are the foretastes of this coming heavenly kingdom. Get used to it.
We are to live not by our strength, our might or our wealth but only through His.
AS HE IS so are we in this world. We’ve had it backwards. It is not, as we are so is
He.
Right here and now, we are God’s temple. We are Christ’s body. None of this is
put off until heaven. Religious people put off everything until we get to heaven. No
wonder they have no power. There’s no power in tomorrow – today is the day to
hear His voice and harden not your heart.
What type of life should you be living with this kind of knowledge? If you ever
become conscious of the presence of the Most High living in you, your life will
change forever.
God wants to move in and bring all his goods with him. All God’s blessings will
come on you and overtake you. God’s riches are an extension of himself. They
come with him. When He comes, they come.
You cannot obtain the riches that God wants you to have apart from God. They are
not independent from him. They are His. When God comes he brings His
blessings.
The Ark of the Covenant continued
in the house of Obededom three
months and the Lord blessed
Obeddedom and all this house.

QUALITY AND QUANTITY
A careful examination of the blessings and promises that come with God will
reveal and common thread woven through out. This is that the quality is always the
best and the quantity is always the most. Quality invariably refers to holiness
because it stresses perfection and or the best of something. Quantity refers to
divinity because it stresses completeness and or the most of something.
BE HOLY – A COMMAND FOR QUALITY
Be holy! That’s a command, one of responsibility and perplexing possibilities.
Think about it? How could mere men manifest that same great holiness that God
does – the pure wealth of the Most High? Keep in mind that holiness is God’s
wealth in you in it’s pure state: the best, the most, the greatest, and without
variation.
God is holy – pure and undefiled in every way. His wealth is holy – pure and
undefiled in every way. Here it is written for us to be holy in the same exact way.
If God commands us to be something we cannot possibly be then He would be
unjust. His promises provide for us a wealth of holiness that is not some far off
fantasy but an ever-present reality for us to enjoy. The wealth of His holiness our
measuring stick.
You are holy in as much as He is allowed to live His life through you. This
holiness of life, pure and undefiled, will carry over into every area: spiritually,
mentally, physically and financially. I will make you high above all nations in
praise, fame and honor for you shall be a holy people. Deut. 26:19
You shall be blessed above all
people. Deut. 7:14
Holiness requires this.
THE BEST OF ALL IS YOURS
Do not look with regret upon your goods for the best of all is yours. Gen. 45:20
Don’t be sad about giving up those things that you have put great effort into,
through the works of your hands. Those things will prove to be insignificant. He
brings the best with Him and puts it on you as He comes into your life. He does it.
God has nothing but wealth to offer to you. It’s the job of the God of Heaven to
prosper us. Riches and honor are with Him, enduring wealth and righteousness. He
causes those who love Him to inherit true riches and fills their treasuries
completely. Delighting in the Lord will make you ride upon the high places of the
earth: only, always, and in all things. Many lower options will be offered to you,

don’t take them. Wait on the Lord.
SERVE GOD FOR THE ABUNDANCE OF ALL
Serve the Lord thy God for the abundance of all that He has blessed you with.
This text is in the curse of the law and its purpose is to tell the people of Israel that
if they don’t serve God for the best then they will ultimately receive something less
– the curse.
Know what the best is and know what to ask for. Most people don’t. Imperfect
knowledge keeps them apart from the Divine in their lives. True prosperity is
spiritually discerned, spiritually estimated, and spiritually appreciated. God
prospered King Solomon because he knew what to ask for.
Once you know what the best is, it comes. God foreordains things and they present
themselves saying, "here I am." The secret things belong to the Lord but the things
that are revealed belong to us.
Without the spiritual revelation of the Holy Ghost you may never know what the
best is and therefore can’t receive it. It’s the spiritual revelation that declares
what’s perfect. These same revelations will exalt you above measure – propel
beyond. They throw your life beyond what you can ask or think.
COVET THE BEST GIFTS
Have you ever wondered why God tells you to covet the best gifts? Only the best is
pure and holy. He only has the best to give. It’s only the best He can pay for. Only
the best will do. The best always leads to God. If you have the best you certainly
wouldn’t desire something someone else has, would you? If it’s not God there’s
always something better.
Coveting the best is good for you. It refines your tastes. It brings you close to the
heart of God. It ignites the Divine drive within your spirit and helps you let go of
all that old haggardly mentality you’ve been hanging on to.
Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife or any of his stuff. They aren’t the best. Pine
after, yearn for, and desire with all your spirit, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and
these gifts will produce the holy results you are looking for. Oh, Lord yours is the
greatness (the standard, the measure, the excellence) both riches and honor belong
to you.
It’s God’s standard by which all else must be measured. We become the standard.

The world must follow and we must lead. Operate in the greatest, possess the most,
portray the excellence, and use only the best in everything. You are the head and
not the tail, above only and not beneath. Greater is He that is in you than he that is
in the world. It is through these exceedingly great and precious promises that you
partake of the Divine nature.
DIVINITY – A COMMAND FOR QUANTITY
Eternal life is a possession belonging only to the truly rich. It is an ennobling
substance placed upon the chosen for the sole sake of glorifying the Most High. He
delights in the prosperity of His people and the way He prospers them is to make
them like himself: alive to wealth. They are to be gods among men. How?
It’s the quantity of the life force that makes someone truly alive – a richness that
surpasses ordinary accumulation. They have powers beyond the scope of normal
human living and wealth that can’t be effected by ordinary interaction or dissected
by common intellectual reasoning. Through contact with the Living God, this life
and its effects on wealth can be increased – precipitously.
I am come that they might have life
and that they might have it more
abundantly. John 10:10
LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY
The direction from which things originate is of great importance. True greatness
comes from above. He that comes from above is above all. Those things that are of
the earth are earthly and speak of the earth.
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. If you can have
life more abundantly it follows reasonably that you must be able to have it less
abundantly. Most people if they have any life at all have it less than in abundance.
Jesus didn’t come that you might have a barely get by and die life. You would not
be prepared for heaven with that substance. The Holy Ghost enters your life in an
attempt to ready you for the world to come so that after you have exhausted the
resources of the earth there is only one small step to take.
We shall be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations.
Revelations carry the life of God into your spirit where they do their work. They
are containers of life power. When the revelation comes, the life follows and the
manifestation of wealth is right around the corner. This life produces in you
freedom from fear and worry. Great ideas about how to handle difficult situations,

and power to perform what formerly was impossible, all come from Life more
abundantly.
Why all the emphasis on life? Because the supernatural life of God, the life that
lives itself – called Zoë in the Greek – is the source of all prosperity. Life is a
commodity – the currency of Heaven. Enough life in any situation quickens
prosperity and drives out poverty. Enough life in your mind will give you mental
health. Enough life in your body will give you physical health. Enough life in your
finances will give you wealth. An abundance of the supernatural life that God
gives will lift you far over and above all that you could ask or think. This force of
life establishes greatness. It is the standard and the measure by which all else is
judged. In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men.
The question therefore is. How much life do you have? How much life do you
want? How much of this supernatural commodity do you think you can handle?
The choice is up to you.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Eight

Of the Spirit Reap
God has a definite plan for you. He also has a definite way for you to do that plan.
He has provided a way for you to have as much life/wealth as you could ever need
or desire. He isn’t reliant on some hit or miss scheme. It won’t come the way you
think. It’s above what you think. It’s beyond what you know. Man’s ways aren’t
God’s.
Most people walk around not knowing what to do. They end up doing nothing.
When seeking your answers don’t look to your circumstances. Never form
opinions based on what things look like. What seems to be rarely is.
NO DEPENDENCE ON THE NATURAL – NO CONFIDENCE.
God’s ways are higher than man’s ways. His works are beyond man’s reason. He is
not dependent on situations or circumstances. By not being dependent on
circumstances His wealth is potentially available to anyone, anytime, anywhere on
earth. If God worked according to circumstances He couldn’t be the same to
everyone everywhere. He would have to change this nature according to the
situation.
You might think it would be easier for God to prosper a banker in London than a
beggar in a remote village in Asia. That is not so. It may be easier for a man to
make things happen in the more favorable circumstances but God works on a
different set of laws. It is not your talents, your looks, or your money that makes
any difference with God. It is your relationship with Him.
China or Africa, New York or Paris, intelligent man or low I.Q., oil rich nation or
oil poor, cotton producing or wheat lacking, drought stricken or lush rainforest;
God does not change. Circumstances have no effect upon God and lack doesn’t
affect his ability to do things.
God has the habit of removing all favorable circumstances in order to prove that
He is the one at work. By doing this, He retains all the credit for producing the
desired result and you learn your lesson -– to trust in the living God and not
uncertain riches that largely disappoint.

GOD NEVER TOUCHES
ANYTHING IN THE NATURAL
From the beginning God has dealt with the physical creation from his position in
the spirit realm. God is a spirit and He operates in the spirit. He lives in the world
of spiritual things. He walks in the spirit, He talks in the spirit. Everything He does
or has to do with is accomplished through spiritual means for He is a spiritual
being.
God never touches anything in the natural/physical realm. His effects can without
question be seen and experienced there but He never did anything there. God does
His work in the spirit world and what happens in the natural is a direct result of
that spiritual effort. This is why when you come to God with a problem His first
response is… pray. Prayer puts spiritual forces to work. It’s His kingdom that rules
over all.
God is not dependent upon the natural, neither should you be. Stop looking in that
direction for your answer it’s not where it comes from. God isn’t overly concerned
with the relatively insignificant things going on in the natural world. You are. His
main concern is the spiritual forces that affect everything. Physical occurrences are
a direct result of a more significant and powerful spiritual action.
First spirit, then natural. Get that straight. Jesus said seek the Kingdom first and
then all other things will be added unto you. That is the process. Put spirit first and
the natural must follow. It has no choice.
God operates supernaturally. He functions on a higher and better plain. He then
says to us, "Come up to this better way and forsake that old, worn-out low way."
Stop looking in that direction for your answer, it’s not where it comes from. Stop
looking to your phone, the paper, the people you know, or your mailbox.
God’s way is as different from mans
work as night is from day. His works
are Holy. Don’t touch it in the
natural.
He that sows to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows to the
spirit shall of the spirit reap life. You shall, of the spirit, reap. You from the spirit
reap not from the natural reap. It is a spiritual manifestation that you are looking
for – a spiritual result of a spiritual sowing. Keep spirit first. You are going to reap
from the spirit.

SOW TO THE SPIRIT AND FROM THE SPIRIT REAP
Don’t look to the natural. The natural is neutral. The natural has no power of its
own – other than the power to corrupt or distract. Paul said, "I never frustrate the
grace of God." What would frustrate the grace of God? Adding your own two
cents. Remember that grace is free.
Never be influenced by the natural. Don’t let it corrupt you. Good or bad, negative
or positive, never take into account physical manifestations. Natural circumstances
are neutral to you for you are operating in a higher realm. You effect them, not
them you.
Don’t look for God in the natural, that’s not where He lives. He is a Spirit. He
never promised to come down into the natural realm and create a solution to your
problem. His solutions call for you to come to them and they are spirit and life. His
answers are spiritual and His solutions are life to you in every situation. Every
action God takes is spiritual and those actions have an effect on your natural
circumstances, always.
All things must work together for
good to those who are walking in the
spirit. All creation must transform
itself to prosper the sons of God.
True wealth comes not by human might and not by human power but only by the
work of the Holy Spirit. Once you learn this most valuable lesson you will stop
judging people, circumstances, or anything else from a purely natural point of
view. Nor, will you keep relying on those weak things for your sources of success.
All things become spiritually significant. Spiritual accomplishments become a
valuable commodity. This is the spiritual imperative: God moving in your life.
Welcome to a different world. A world where everything is opposite from what
you were used to.
This world operates on different laws and powers – the powers of the world to
come. A world that you can’t understand with your mind because the mind is
mental and the spirit is spiritual. Trying to understand the spirit realm with your
mind is like trying to see with your ear or hear with your nose. It just doesn’t work.
You never will mentally figure out how God is going to do everything or get
natural provisions to you. These things are spiritually understood, estimated, and
appreciated. You must, in fact, be out of your mind.

Put down the mind. Casting down imaginations, reasonings, and every high thing
that exhalts itself against the knowledge of God. Your mind can not be the master.
The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be. The natural
man does not receive the things of the Spirit for they are foolishness unto him
neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.
Can you mentally explain how Aaron’s rod budded, how Jesus multiplied the
loaves and fish, or how Joseph knew of a famine seven years before it occurred?
No, you can’t! You must have an understanding of the spiritual tools that caused
supernatural prosperity or an understanding that these men lived in a world other
than the one you could see with your eyes – a life in the Spirit.
SPIRIT LIFE
The supernatural is effortless to the spirit man. You were born for this. You are a
spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. This is the way that you are like
God. Your body contacts and understands the physical world, your mind
understands and lives in the mental world, and your spirit understands, contacts
and lives in the spirit world.
Most people if they are not fleshly dominated are intellectually ruled. You must
control your mind and body through the real you – your spirit. When you operate
in any level of the spirit world your mind isn’t in control any more, your spirit is.
This is why praying in tongues is SO important. It is the gateway to the
supernatural.
If you learn to pay the price and get
your head and flesh in agreement,
living in the supernatural will be
come first nature to you. You’ll find
yourself stepping out of the possible
into the impossible.
Jesus didn’t walk on water without preparation. He spent most of that night in
prayer. Through communication with God he found the place in the spirit where
walking on water was possible. Give yourself over to this kind of praying and you
will begin to spiritually understand how supernatural things work.
It’s on you knees where your true life with God in His world will begin. By
spending time alone with God, learning how to get in His presence and stay there,

learning how to flow and move with His Holy Spirit, learning how to hook up with
The Teacher and go on.
It won’t be easy. Everything in the world and most of your relatives will try to
keep you out of that place in the Spirit. Some will even violently oppose you.
Don’t be surprised. Religious people may even hold secret meetings trying to
figure out how to correct you. Then they’ll have meetings with you to try to bring
you back under their control.
Most people never get into what God has for them. They stop right at the door. As
soon as they decide to pray for an hour, their flesh starts a rebellion shouting, "I’m
hungry!" Then their mind erupts with every kind of distraction it can think of, from
the lawn needs mowing to the house is on fire. Your house is rarely on fire and the
lawn can wait!
People have been trained since childhood to obey the impulses of their mind and
body. Most people are not willing to pay the price that it takes to get their mind
and flesh quiet. People don’t like to change. It’s uncomfortable. But, the bible calls
us to change from glory to glory. Not changing means we don’t move on to the
next level of God’s wealth. Are you one of those who will pay that price?
EVERYTHING YOU NEED YOU OBTAIN THROUGH THE SPIRIT
There is a way, but it’s not of this world.
You may say, "I can’t see it." That’s right, you can’t.
It’s not a natural way. It’s hidden.
It’s supernatural.
It can be seen with the eye of faith
It can be felt with the hands of your spirit, but
It will never be known
nor will the way ever be traveled
without the one main ingredient that brings it all together,
that thing called prayer.
Praying in the spirit is like putting words on a palette and continuing therein will
paint the picture so clear. The problem, it seems, is a lack continuance and the
dreams for remain vague year after year.
Stop yielding you lips as instruments of carnality and begin yielding them to Me as
your Teacher and Guide. I will take you to places that you’ve yet only dreamed of
and make you a stone in My royal diadem. Prophesy, August, 1995
Take time away from other legitimate tasks and spend it in prayer communicating

with God. Paint that picture, paint, paint, paint... Make the picture ever clearer and
come alive through praying in tongues. No one ever became a renowned artist
overnight and if you are to learn to articulate in the spirit – exactly the plan of God
– there must be a price paid up front.
The sacrifice is time away from the world of things that seems to be so important.
They aren’t nearly as vital as speaking those syllables that will frame your future.
The way of your future will be paved with your tongue – a yielded member.
If you’ll allow the Holy Ghost to speak through you on a regular basis, He will
recreate your world into what it should be. He created it in the beginning and now
He will recreate it once more using the same material, words.
There is a place for you in the spirit where you can live and move and have being.
A place from which all you’re needs wants and desires will be met. There is a
place in the spirit where nothing’s impossible. The same place in the spirit where
Jesus walked on water, that place where He calmed the sea. The same place where
He multiplied food, paid taxes, healed the sick, and walked through the persecuting
crowd unscathed.
A place in the spirit? Most people don’t even know there is a spirit world, let alone
a place in that world where they can see things and know things. There is a place in
the world of the spirit where you walk with God in the cool of the day and His
angels minister to you. There is a place in the world of the spirit where things can’t
harm you, sickness can’t touch you, and poverty can’t find you. It’s called the
secret place.
You enter this secret place through worship and prayer. Praying as the Spirit gives
utterance. Praying for hours in other tongues. Hours? Yes, hours. Pressing into
realms and places that have been shut up for years. Pressing back into those things
that the first Adam lost in the fall. Pressing past the place the flesh wants to go.
Pressing past your minds questions into the place of true knowing. Pressing into
the realm of God where his wealth becomes your all in all.
It’s one thing to say God knows you. It’s another thing to say I know God. You
must walk with God as a friend. Have a living vital relationship. Be so intertwined
with Him that you wouldn’t even think of doing something that would break you
connection or offend His Holy Spirit.
Your connection with God is your prosperity. Instantly obey the smallest

prompting of the Spirit.
Learn day by day, hour by hour, what pleases Him and causes Him joy. Make the
time to sit in His presence and say: "I worship you Father. I worship you Jesus. I
worship you Holy Ghost." This alone will launch you further in your pursuit of
God than any other thing.

Gospel of Wealth – Chapter Nine

Exploit – God's method
The people who know their God shall prove
themselves strong, shall stand firm and do
exploits.
There is a definite glory to a city. All large cities glimmer in a glory of their own.
At night they shine with a glow like something out of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ – a
bustling village by day, a crystal city by night. Streets teem with busy people.
Towering structures mount as high as the wealth the workers have achieved.
Adding up the value of all the real estate alone would be an enormous task not to
mention the infinite ‘added’ value of the softer human assets like time, talent, and
energy.
Why do the wicked prosper? Isn’t that the age-old question? It is obviously not
through an intimate knowledge of God as is the subject of this book. The wicked
prosper through another system – Satan’s.
The wisdom of this world – is a strict amalgamation of hard work, determination,
natural knowledge, and varying degrees of "so called" luck. Let’s narrow the
definition down to one word, WORK!
The man who has mastered this game of work expects to replace everything – that
God used to freely provide before the fall of Adam – with money. Work becomes
the worshiped object and the winner of the game is the one with the biggest bank
account. Huge fortunes are the new immortality.
What the players of this deceptive game do not see are subversive forces at work.
Players continue to believe that the game will end in their favor, and yet they are
moved as mere pawns in a supernatural game of chess where the success of the
king that rules over them is all that matters. They are, at any given time, highly
expendable.
As the partridge who sits on eggs
that are not hers and hatches them.
So is he that gets riches and not by
right. They shall leave him in the
midst of his days and at his end he

shall be a fool. Jer. 17:11
This wealth that they have worked so hard to obtain – day and night, racking their
brains, ringing their hands – will ultimately be set as food on someone else’s table.
In this game God’s Kingdom rules over all.
This misplaced effort extended by the working man can be likened to the great
leisure class of the ancient Roman Empire. It took, an estimated, twenty ‘laborclass’ men just to sustain one leisure class citizen. When Jesus spoke of the Truth
setting men FREE, everyone knew what He was speaking about. The ‘Free Man’
in Rome was a man of leisure – a man who was free from the daily necessity of
labor so he could pursue cultural activities.
In a sense the believer of the Gospel of Christ becomes the New Leisure Class. A
class of people set apart for the furtherance of true culture – the culture of heaven.
Support must come by the work of the labor class – the unbelieving work
worshiper.
God gives the sinner the work of
gathering and heaping up that he
may have to give to him that is good
before God. Ecc. 2:26
As a laboring class they are good at what they do – heaping up. They pursue
quality education, sparing no expense, often going highly in debt in order that their
earnings might soar higher still. They are generally free from excessive moral
standards that tend to rob the morally afflicted of profits in questionable situations.
They overcome common obstacles wonderfully and uncommon ones valiantly,
working over-time, missing vacations. They shun stress and pain while hurtling
innumerable hassles; legally, politically, and socially, all to amass that allimportant fortune whereby they win the coveted prize – more stuff.
This is the portion of the wicked man with God, though he heap up silver like dust
and prepare raiment like clay, he may prepare it but the just shall where it and the
innocent shall divide the silver. Job 39:16
It’s a shame they don’t see it coming. It’s unfortunate that they are so involved in
the daily mechanics of life that they can’t see the eminent doom approaching –
from them shall all this be taken away. Like the partridge, they have effectively
buried their heads in the sands of mammon.
If our gospel is hid, it is hidden to
them that are lost. 2 Corinthians 4:3
God uses this blindness, their very ignorance, to incubate physical riches until it
reaches full measure and then He takes it and gives it to whomever He chooses –

those who please Him.
Here is the underlying principle at work.
From him that has not, from him
shall be taken even that he has.
Matthew 13:12
You may ask the question, and I have asked it myself. How do you take something
away from someone who has nothing? We’re not talking about taking something
away from someone who has nothing. This verse doesn’t say the man has nothing.
This verse says that what the man doesn’t have is a revelation of the Kingdom of
God. This revelation from Heaven is necessary and without it all the persons other
belongings are subject to being taken away including all the wealth that the
unbelieving work worshiper has accumulated through hard work and thrift. This
lack of knowledge is the foundation that most fortunes have been built on.
This is a system doomed to failure. It never was designed to succeed. All wealth
that is not obtained through the power of God is part of the world’s system and is
subject to exploitation. As unfair and amoral as this may seem it is God’s method.
Consider the Canaanites.
Even before Abraham came on the seen, the Canaanites labored and built up their
homes and lives just like many other indigenous peoples. Through wise
stewardship, many of them had accumulated considerable wealth. Houses were
decorated, vineyards matured, and family heirlooms were handed down from one
generation to the next. It was a prosperous society built up by hard work and thrift.
These same qualities are held high as virtues in our day. We call it the Protestant
work ethic. The Canaanites could have built their entire lives on this beloved work
ethic and it wouldn’t have mattered. They were building on a doomed foundation.
They should have put their efforts elsewhere. God promised the land they were
living on to Abraham and his seed. God was all along using the Canaanites labor
and skill to build cities, houses, and vineyards that He intended to give to Abraham
and his descendants if they obeyed Him. A table was being prepared in the
presence of their enemies.
You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies. Psalm 23
Where does God prepare your table? Your table of goods is always prepared by
and in the presence of your enemies. It is God’s method. The Israelites would
eventually exploit all the Canaanites’ wealth through the supernatural power of
God. God’s supernatural system overtakes the worldly system just as day overtakes
night.

It’s the people who know God who will do exploits. Connection with God is
everything. The man or nation that knows God always has the upper hand
regardless of any natural law or circumstance. Knowing God is wealth. Because of
his association with the supernatural, the man who knows God is not bound by
natural limitations. There is no natural man who can equal a man walking in the
power of God. Man without God is handcuffed to inferiority – the kingdom he
lives in is lower.
Can we find this man’s equal – a
man in whom is the Spirit of God?
For as much as God has shown you
all this there is no one as intelligent
and wise as you. Genesis 41:39-39
There is no struggling in obtaining the wealth of God. When God comes, He brings
His wealth with Him. His blessings overtake us while we are focused on Him.
Unlike the world’s way, there is no striving.
The power to get wealth has nothing to do with the strength of man’s hands, skill,
or effort. It is purely God’s power. This wealth is bestowed intact, complete, and in
full measure. It comes by exploit -someone other than you did the work of
accumulating it.
Say not in your heart, My power and
the might of my hand have gotten
me this wealth. But you shall
remember the Lord your God for it is
He who gives you power to get
wealth that he may establish his
covenant. Deuteronomy 8:18
God gives power to get wealth.
It is God’s power that does the work and is separate and distinct from the work of
your hands. The word get implies taking and is different from making.
It is power to take wealth. It is wealth, not something less and this wealth is
something that already exists in its wealth-like state. God gives His supernatural
power to exploit wealth that the world has already accumulated. This is God’s
method. This is our way. The world’s way is different. You seek God and His
righteousness. The world seeks things.
The Gentiles seek, gather, heap up, and store for themselves, treasures on earth.

They serve money as a master and know no other way to live. They are overtly
consumed about their lives and what they will ware, what they will eat, and what
their stature or position will be compared with their neighbors. They store things
up to make them more socially acceptable. Don’t be like them.
Seek first and continually the kingdom of God and his way of doing and being
right and all these things – that the gentiles have labored to heap up – will be added
to you. We simply don’t have to concern ourselves with such menial things or
worry about them for it has been given to someone else to work on – the working
class.
Let’s look at some very familiar scriptures in this new-found light. Psalm 23 says,
the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. It’s because of God that you are
prosperous and without want. So, how does God prepare your wealth? He prepares
a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Part 2
At this point you might be asking, how can this be? How come I don’t see anyone
doing this? Christians that seem to be successful aren’t doing this. These are
legitimate questions. Wide is the road that leads to destruction and narrow is the
road that leads to righteousness and few are the folks that find it. Even if they do
find it few continue long enough to reap the rewards.
Unfortunately, this verse implies that if few are finding the narrow way then most
people are not. Most people are so caught up in the worlds system to know
anything else and will never advance to a higher level of spiritual growth. In fact,
most Christians look so much like everyone else you couldn’t tell them apart if you
tried.
Most Christians base their success on the same standards and use the same success
methods as everyone else – worldly wisdom. Through imitating the world’s system
the church has forfeited its right to lead and has taken the place of a second class
citizen. Satan has fed the church limited success and told them it was the blessing
of God. Most are satisfied with this weak verdict. Christians or not, if they aren’t
operating and founding their wealth on this gospel of wealth even that which they
have will be taken away.
I’m more than a little annoyed by the religious man’s inclination to work all week

long and then thank God in some sanctimonious tone for his paycheck, when God
had nothing to do with it. God didn’t sign that paycheck, your employer did, and
you worked all week for it. That’s the same guy that will say to God, "why did you
do this to me," when his employer doesn’t need him any more. Christians aren’t
fooling nearly as many people as they think. They have a powerless form of
godliness and are trying to convince you otherwise.
The might of your own hands is separate from the power of God. If you work forty
hours with your two hands to bring home a paycheck that’s not God doing it, that’s
you. Don’t consider the work of your hands an act of God.
Now to him that works his wages are
not credited to him as a gift but as an
obligation. But to him that does not
work but believes God who justifies
the wicked his faith is credited as
righteousness. Romans 4:4-5
You must give of yourself to reap the kingdom. Give and it shall be given unto
you, good measure. Under this general directive Jesus spoke three specific actions
in giving – prayer, fasting, and giving to the poor. He specifically said not to do it
in front of men but to be seen by God. God who is in the spiritual realm will
openly bless you – in the realm of man. In doing this we are promised our return
would be abundant, one hundred fold in this lifetime. Not only will the return be of
a supernatural nature but also it will have a profound effect upon the kingdom of
man. Pressed down, shaken-together, and running over shall men give into your
bosom.
Pressed down, men shall give into your bosom.
Pressure makes men do things they wouldn’t normally do. It amplifies weaknesses.
It exposes needs. It makes men drop unnecessary baggage and draws a focus on
what is vital. Pressure throws people off balance. New forces come into play
making it hard to continue in normalcy. Priorities change and men become
vulnerable.
As the temple of the Holy Ghost you are the vehicle of this supernatural pressure –
a pressure that comes from above. Barring outside pressure men wouldn’t give you
the time of day but under supernatural pressure you’d be surprised!
It’s this pressure that the Holy Ghost exerts and makes men repent, harden their
heart or do other things they wouldn’t do under normal circumstances. Pharos of

Egypt displayed all these reactions as the Power of God put pressure on him. God
used Moses as His vehicle to put pressure on Pharos saying, "let My people go."
At first Pharos had no intention of letting the Israelites go anywhere. Why should
he? He’s the Pharos and they are the slaves. They work for him not the other way
around. But after a few rounds of supernatural pressure he thrust them out and even
financed their journey. The children of Israel left Egypt carting off the abundant
silver and gold of that once belonged to the Egyptians. Pressed down men gave
into their bosom.
Continue to give yourself to the kingdom of God – sowing to the Spirit and from
the Spirit reaping – and God’s power will come on you. It doesn’t happen over
night but it will happen. When it does this power will shake things up.
The gifts of the Spirit will begin to manifest in supernatural wisdom about the
future, supernatural knowledge about the present and past, and supernatural
abilities to do things you couldn’t normally do. These are the things that shake men
to their very core.
Shaken together, men give into your bosom.
Shake up, means to effect an extensive and often drastic reorganization of
something. The gifts of the Holy Ghost will shake-up, effect an extensive and
drastic reorganization of the worlds system and the people who live in it.
The Power of God shakes everything into conformity. It shakes, lays bare, and puts
things in proper order whether anyone likes it or not. They have no choice. Men
may try to resist the pressure of the Holy Spirit but they can’t resist the shakings.
Few things stand up to a good shaking. Structures break-up and fall down.
Ordinary methods people used to rely on won’t work any more. Everyday business
comes to a halt in the midst of a major earthquake. Even a minor earthquake causes
a pause. In a major earthquake buildings and urbane infrastructure crumble if they
are not built correctly and on a firm foundation. Even then there is a limit to a
towers ability to withstand a good shaking. Power goes out and phone lines brake.
It doesn’t mater if your rich or poor, shaking has a way of putting everyone on the
same level.
Fear shakes to the bone. People who are full of fear can even loose control of their
bowels. Hair falls out. No one can stand. Fear shakes from the inside out. By the
supernatural power of God the walls of Jericho shook and then fell. The result was

that the children of Israel exploited the wealth of the city.
As four forlorn lepers made a last ditch effort to stave of starvation they entered an
enemies camp. The power of God caused a great shaking in the enemy’s camp so
that they deserted all their belongings fearing only for their lives. The enemy army
fled with no man in pursuit. The result was that the children of Israel exploited the
camp and its entire contents. In this same way God is going to shake-up the wealth
of this present world.
My Spirit abides in the midst of you
and I will shake all nations and the
desire and precious things of all
nations shall come in and I will fill
this house with splendor. Haggai 2:7
The shaking comes from a place the world is unprepared to handle – the
supernatural. They can’t see it. They can’t touch it. They can’t control it. They
can’t understand it. You’d better get used to it.
Armed with natural means to defend their wealth from enemy attack; most natural
men cover every scenario they can think of with some kind of insurance – acts of
God included. Supernatural enemies make natural defenses worthless.
He robs them of his whole armor on
which he had relied and divides up
all his goods as plunder. Luke 11:20
Supernatural shakings come from a kingdom that cannot be moved. Believers
operating in the unshakable realm will not be moved but everyone else will be laid
bare for exploit. There will be a transformation of all that can be shaken in order
that what cannot be shaken may remain. Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that
is firm stable and cannot be shaken worship God with pleasing service for our God
is a consuming fire.
Once you’ve learned to operate in this higher and greater place – this kingdom that
cannot be shaken – we are no longer subject to recession, inflation, or destruction
because all things have become subject to you. By the power of God’s shaking
these lower things will be extensively and drastically reorganized to fit into his
new kingdom by the transfer of all wealth. Anything not fitting the kingdom shall
be divided, distributed, or liquidated. What was once the pride of the people will be
placed on our table for consumption. You shall consume all the people whom the
Lord gives over to you. God living in us is a consuming fire.
The judgment shall sit and they shall
take away his dominion to consume

and destroy it unto the end. And the
kingdom and the dominion and the
greatness of the kingdom on the
whole earth shall be given to the
people of the saints of the most high
and here is the end of the matter.
Daniel 7:26-27
If we remain through these shakings because many Christians won’t – they built
their lives on the worldly system and suffered loss because of it having there works
burnt up. These days will be the most glorious of all – the days of running over.
Running over, men shall give into your bosom.
The glory of the Lord shall rest upon you. Gross darkness shall cover the earth
Isaiah 60:1 and the things that used to work in the world won’t work at all any
more. Things have come full circle for mankind since the days of Adam in the
garden. The tide has turned and the kingdom of God has begun to take control of
the earth in its rightful place of dominion and glory. Where people used to run
from us they will begin to run to us. God’s glory shall be seen upon you.
Nations shall run to you because of
the Lord you God for he has
glorified you.
People will see the goodness of God on you and his power to get wealth and will
run to you for help. Wealth will be one of the greatest revival calling cards. It’s the
goodness of God that leads men to repentance.
Men out of all nations shall take hold
of your robe saying, let us go with
you for we see that God is with you.
Like sale obsessed women clamoring over one another to get the best bargains,
people all over the earth will try to get in on this glory that God. They will look to
you to show them the way.
Those who stubbornly choose to run the other way will head into waves of deeper
and deeper darkness. Those who come to us will enter greater and greater light. We
are the light of the world. Don’t shun my prophetic chantings. Running over will
men give into your bosom.
When the world comes to us they will give what they have into our control, some
in a desperate attempt to not loose it. Some willingly. Our bosom has become a
place of unshakable safety and they know it. Willingly or not, their wealth will

come in. To remain outside ‘the bosom’ is to be under pressure, shaken together,
and run over.
To be against this Gospel of Wealth is to be against the Spirit of the Living God,
the Word of the Lord, an innumerable company of angels, God the judge of all,
and the spirits of just men made perfect. They who through faith subdued
kingdoms and will subdue even theirs.
Joseph gathered up all the money in
the land and when all the money was
exhausted all the Egyptians said we
have no money left. Joseph said
behold I have this day bought you
and your land.
When we’re done we’re going to end up owning it all.
