Advance Church In The Marketplace I remember one day when my wife and I went into a bookstore and when we were reading books on business and I look at many of them. A few of them were written by Christian business Leaders. Then the Lord began to open my eyes, giving me revelation of the future of business and the future of the marketplace. God said I will teach you to do business the way I do business. The Church must advance in the marketplace! Before Church can readily advance, the Church must be an Advance Church! We must renew our mind. The Church in the New Testament is a marketplace Church. The Real Church is not in the four walls, but that is a part of the Church. That is the core of the Church. The place of Gathering, equipping and impartation and it is the place where priests minister before the Lord. The Kings are called to minister to the Lord in the marketplace not in the core of the Church. What can you as a Pastor do? What can you as a Local Church Leader do? Gathering the businessperson in your Church into a group so each businessperson can stir up good works. And they will teach those who are called into business on how to get into business. Teaching your Local Church about stocks and investments, etc. We as Leaders in the Church should expect our members not to be layperson but Saints in Action. If more members are in business then our church will have more financial resources. I know that a good Pastor will not want to keep their members poor, but they have done this thing without knowing. We must go from layperson to Saints. Not only that, we need to stir up the Saints for Business. We are to stir up those in the marketplace and those who are called to any place. That the marketplace is their place of ministry. We have to release the kings! So the priests can have chances to minister to the Lord! Where there is vision, there is provision. Local Churches will begin to move forth into the marketplace by releasing the kings and setting free the priests in the house of the Lord to minister. We need to think about setting up on a foundation. And every month we as a Church are giving into that foundation, in order to build a continual flow of financial resources. One of the main limits of any Local Church and Ministry is financial limitations. As Local Churches, we need to begin to buy land, etc and then we should have group management on those properties. We must create other flows of income. 2. Bible is more Workplace then Church The Bible is more for the workplace then for the church. The Bible is written more for the workplace then for the church. The Bible is written more for the outside of the four walls of the Church then inside the four walls of the Church. The Bible is the written will of God for all of mankind, for every place and for every area. We can only apply the Bible to certain areas within the four walls. We have made a gospel that has limited our faith to the four walls. We have unpurposed most of the believers in Christ. We have devalued Christians everywhere with the misunderstanding of the workplace in not linking to the Bible. God's Word is for the common man. The common man is spiritual at work or on the job in Christ more then in the four walls of the church. The Bible is more for the workplace, business, marketplace then it is for the church super spiritual Christians. The Bible is for everyday people not just for Sunday limits. When you put the Word in the workplace we will see much fruits. What hinders an honest application of the Written Word in the marketplace is an unhealthy view toward those in everyday life. Once when we remove the misunderstanding and apply the Word in the workplace we will see Jesus in the world and we will impact the many instead of the few. Adam, Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David, Nehemiah, Matthew, Peter, John, the other Apostles of the Lamb, Barnabas, Luke, Paul, so on, and above all Jesus Christ they were all in the marketplace. Furthermore, it is not that the church; the nuclear church is important which it is. It is that we need to link the extended church with the nuclear church. We need to raise the important, value, and purpose of the workplace church in order to see true and lasting impacts in our cities, nations and the world. 3. Four Walls Many Christians only have visions for the four walls. The four walls can't hold God. The four walls are too small for God. The Four walls have limited your faith. Many Christians feel if they don't serve God in the four walls that they are not pleasing God. And many Christians look down on other Christians who don't serve within the four walls. In addition, there should be more outreaching and ministry focus on the outside of the four walls. The work of ministry is for the believers more then for the Five-Fold governmentally gifts. The Governmentally offices are for the purpose of equipping the Saints. The saints are the common believers. It is time for laypersons to become Saints. In addition, most ministries is done by the Saints, not the Leadership of the Church. The Leadership of the Church only does ten percent of the work of the ministry. Moreover, the Believers do ninety percent of the work of the ministry. Besides, most of the work of ministry is done outside of the four walls of the Church. Only two percent of the ministry is done in the Church. And ninety eight percent of the ministry is done out side of the four walls of the Church. This includes not only the believer's ministry by also the five-fold ministry. Christ has ordained the four walls for place of gathering, equipping, impartation, edification, exhortation, nourishment, and unity. The Local Church is the nucleus of the Body of Christ. The Local Church is the nuclear church. And outside of the four walls is the extended church. 4. 90/100 Percent Today the Church is based on the pulpit ministry. When Sunday comes we all get into car and drive to our Local Church for a Sunday worship service. Then once service is over we say hi to few believers then get back in car and go home. This is not Christian life that Christ dies for. Reformation is coming to the Local Church and the Body of Christ. Reformation is coming to our own minds so that we can be all that Christ called us to me. Government of the Body of Christ is five-fold, which are the apostle, prophet, teacher, evangelists and pastors. Governmentally gifts are not for the work of the ministry. The believer is for the work of the ministry not the government of the Church. The main purpose for the governmentally gifts is to equip the body of Christ, not to do the work of the ministry, but common believers should do the work of the ministry. Today ninety percent of the ministry has been done by the five-fold governmentally gifts. But this is not God's will for the Church. This is not God's order for the Church, when common believers are doing only ten percent of the ministry. This is why the church lacks so much and a lot of Christians feel unfulfilled in their local churches. I believe that's why there are so many church hoppers going around for they are trying to find their place. The Believers are composed of ninety percent of the ministry and the five-fold governmentally gifts are to be done only by ten percent of the ministry. 5. Laity To Saints Layperson, lay minister or laity is not a word that is used in Heaven. This word is not in the Heavenly dictionary. The word used in Heaven is the holy priesthood or a royal priesthood. We are Saints. Every Born again Christians are Saints, not just the great Church Leaders. They are only examples to that which is coming; which is far greater. The Laity is a plan by Satan, religious spirits and the religious to keep the true saints in bondage, and to keep us back from the work of the ministry. Most of all have been a part of some religious churches where their members are joined to the yoke of bondage. God has not sent Christ to die for each one of us in order for us to live a false religious life. Christ did not commission us to be pew members for life. For many of us, that is what Christian life is. You get saved; you go to Church service on Wednesday, Sunday and maybe Friday; as long as you pay your tithes and be faithful in attending, they are ok with you; then one day you die and go home to meet Jesus in Heaven. Well, Saints that is not God's will. We are called to be Saints. We are Saints of the Most High and it's time to do the works of Jesus, not the works of the false religious. We have been hearing and hearing. We have been taught and taught until we are blue in the face. It is the doer of the Word that are blessing. Training without experience is another religious format. If the Book of Acts was only the Acts of the Apostles, then the Church will never grow beyond what God has ordained it to be. Many Religious Churches' only ministry and Christian living are Sunday Service. If the Church doesn't grow beyond the Pulpit Ministry, then we are out of God's will. It's time for the Acts of the Saints. Christians we must today make the transitioning from the Laity to the Saints, from layperson to saint. The Great Commission is above control of any Christian Religious group. If you try to control it, God will deal with you. This commission was not just for the Apostles or Pastors or any of the pupil's ministry but for the Body of Christ. We are to obey this commission for it is a command from our Lord Jesus Christ and we will not prosper until we obey this call upon every true Christian. Office Ministry is called to equip the Saints for the work of the Ministry not to hold us back from the work of ministry. 6. Seconded Class Citizens Many Clergy think that marketplace Christians are second Class Citizens. As Clergy members, we need to renew our minds and change our thinking. So we no longer neutralize those entrusted to our care. Many believers have gifts but there are no freedom in the local church to use them. For examples, the prophetic anointing setup in some Local Churches is not the order of God according to First Corinthians 14th which is God's true order of prophetic in the local church. However, in some churches, their order is not one of liberty but of control. It there are freedom in the local Church for the gifts, there will be release of God unto them for the marketplace. As believers in Christ we need to know our place and our gifts. Not only we need to know this, but also we need to recognize the gifting around us. If someone believe that call to do something, don't bring doubt in their life just for reason you can't see that in them. When someone has gift or calling, they have anointing and a manifestation. You can ask them to share their testimony on how God called them into there calling. As you grow in Christ, you will discover your gifts and place in the Body of Christ and that is where you will find fulfillment. There are many don't feel fulfillment for some reason like how clergy members see them, on what is taught in the local church, how other Christians see them. So you can see if we as clergy members will renew our thinking we can be partakes in the marketplace harvest. The division between Clergy and laity must come down for that is not God-ordained division. The church is not called to operate primarily inside a building. Marketplace Christians and businesspersons can be as spiritual as those serving in traditional church ministry. In addition, marketplace Christians primary role is not to make money to support the vision of those "in the ministry." The ministry of marketplace Christians is in the marketplace. Their ministry is their business. There are need of reconciliation between vocation ministers, parachurch ministers and marketplace ministers, and all marketplace Christians. Vocation Ministers have their place and their calling and place is of God and need to be supported but also to those in the marketplace, they need to pat on the shoulder from time to time again. Reference: ED Silvoso "Anointed For Business" 7. Purpose & Value I see three companies of people who shall become the threefold core of the coming church. The first people are the John The Baptist People who is to prepare the way of the Lord. They are the ones speaking forth vision and passion of the spiritual things that God wills to bring forth in the church and the world. The second company of people is the Ezra People who are called to bring restoration, order and government to the house of the Lord the nuclear church. The third company of people is the Nehemiah People that will call into the extended church to build alters of worship to God in the workplace and the marketplace. Above this the hearts of The Ezra People must be turned to hearts of The Nehemiah People, and the hearts of The Nehemiah People must be turned to the Hearts of The Ezra People. This is done through the ministry of The John The Baptist People moreover; when these three companies join the church will walk in victory times, and the glory of the Lord will come. Apart from that, The Nehemiah calling is going out to 97% percent of the Body of Christ who do not earn income from the house of the Lord. God is calling them to their ministry around the house of the Lord. God is calling them to build the kingdom of God in the workplace, marketplace, and the cities of the world. God is calling them to give witness of Christ's glory in them in the world outside of the house of the Lord. However, so many of the 97% percent of the Church see not their purpose or value. They go to church on Sunday and go to work on Monday, then give money to the church and then that is all. Christians in the workplace and the marketplace need to see their callings and gifts and how to glorify Christ on their jobs. Nevertheless, throughout the Bible you see no Scripture of the Christian calling in the house of the Lord, instead if you look throughout the Bible at the Heroes faith most of them were not preachers instead they were like the everyday Christians in the workplace. The Scriptures give the truth of your ministry in the workplace or marketplace in Colossians 3:22-24, Ephesians 6:5-8, 1 Pet. 2:18-20. We must become bondservants of the Lord in our workplace or business. We are to please God in our workplace with sincerity of heart fearing God and to do our service unto the Lord knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance for you who are in the workplace, marketplace or business serve the Lord Jesus Christ in the sphere of influence. Moreover, have deep intimacy with the Lord will birth new revelation in how to do business and new things. You may be business smart or intelligent and not be successfully. It is through deep intimacy revelation will come into your life, business and ministry. God can add to your business smart. It is time to earn a degree from the throne room of God. Beside, you must learn the voice of the Lord. If God gives you an ideal wait until He says go for it. There is a day coming where you will not have success without hearing the voice of the Lord. There is a day coming where the wisdom of man will fail, and on that day the Kingdom of God will arise in the hearts of Christians in the workplace, marketplace and business and there businesses will remain standing. The World then will seek the wisdom of God from the Christians in the workplace. On the contrary, we are already living in that day we just don't know it! Therefore, love God with you right hand and fear God with your left hand so shall you proper in what the Holy Spirit sets your hands to do. Furthermore, These three groups of people will stand together and worship the Lord in the coming fires and the forth group will appear which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then the glory of the LORD will come upon the three companies of the destiny. 8. Potential & Destiny In our last article called Purpose & Value we share about the three companies of the coming Church. Let us now follow these truths in this article. It is time for us who are the everyday Christians to obey the divine Nehemiah calling in days past and even now most 97% percent of Christians do not know their Purpose and Value in the Body of Christ. It is up to the Ezra People to impart these truths to the Nehemiah People. The Ezra People must release the 97% of the Body of Christ into their Potential. So many of us have lock up into our hearts the potential that the Holy Spirit have given us also, not only to release this potential in us they are to plant seeds of destiny and water that destiny in us. However, it is God who will give the increase. The Ezra People are to bless the hands and plans of the Nehemiah People. Nehemiah People are beginning in their workplace and marketplace ministry. They are already there most of them however, they know not their potential in the Body of Christ. The Ezra People have grace to bless and pray the prayers that will release and give insurance to the Nehemiah People. Moreover, the Nehemiah People is to begin in a new day of kingdom business ministry by ministering to these four areas in this order. First and foremost minister to the Lord in prayer and worship. Love the Lord and fear the Lord. Learn to spent time before Him and learn to minister to Him. Second minister to your family by being example in word and deed, by speaking forth blessings and passing these blessings to them, learn to minister to your love ones. Third minister to those in your workplace or business, for they are your ministry, and minister by being a witness in word and deed. Care for those around you and pray for them. Learn to minister at your workplace also, use your business to gain influence for kingdom purposes in your cities. Fourth minister to the house of the Lord in substance, in testimony, and begin people to the Lord. Furthermore, we are to change our world instead of always being trap within the box mindsets. Once when we move forth as horses prepared for the day of battle and the deliverance will come from the Lord through the grace and prayer of the Ezra People. 9. Ghetto Mentalities The Church should not be a subculture but a counterculture Church. Christians should not be pew members but active Christians. Christians are not called to be laity but called to be saints. Saints are not great Christian leaders in history but every common believer in Christ. Every born again Christian has gifts, and a ministry in the Body of Christ. Your city will not transform within your Local Church. The Local Church is the place of gathering, equipping and impartation. However, the work of ministry is only a little percent compares to ministry that is going outside of the four walls. The Church was not conceived inside a religious building; rather it was birthed in the upper room. The church is not called to operate primarily inside a building often referred to as the temple. Marketplace Christians has a viral role in changing our cities. The Word says, "that God will heal our land." The heart of the City is the marketplace and if we repent, meaning a change of mind, God will heal our land. 10. Marketplace Christianity Jesus Christ did not die to make his beloved Church as subculture. Most Church today is not even of Christ. The Church is called to be counterculture, not subculture. We are salt and light of the world. Salt needs to sprinkle on the world. The light of the World needs to shine into the World. They need the light in the world to point them to Jesus. When Jesus returns, He does not return to a subculture group but he is coming back to this whole World. Christians are called to be counterculture. What God is restoring to the Church is the force of marketplace Christian being counterculture in the marketplace in order to change their cities and the nations of the world. The Church is to be in the marketplace and marketplace is to be in the Church, in order to establish the Kingdom of God in our Cities. There is coming a marketplace center revival. This will bring a counterculture revival to marketplace Christians. Yes the Holy Spirit is going to visit the Local Church. Yes the Holy Spirit is going to place his fire in the Local Church to burn day and night. Nevertheless the Holy Spirit has a plan for the marketplace. That plan is a counterculture marketplace center revival with Marketplace Christians on the forefront of change in business and the marketplace. To marketplace Christian, worship is work. In the beginning of mankind, before there was worship, there was work. We worship God through our purpose in the marketplace. God is bringing marketplace reconciliation between the employer and employee; between the one class of people to next class of people; between the rich and the poor; between vocation ministers and marketplace ministers. These social gaps must bridge in order that power of God can touch everyone. Where there are social gap, there are stronghold of darkness. In order to break these strongholds, these gaps must be bridged. God wants to bring reconciliation between the rich and the poor. This happens in four incidents in the book of acts where wealthy people in the church shared their lives and resources with the poor, and in each case significant numbers of believers were spontaneously added to the kingdom. The first example is found in Acts 2:44-47; taking care of the needy was at its very center. Actually, it involved much more than rich people giving money to the poor. Rich and poor became amalgamated into a new social group. This is going to happen in the Body of Christ through marketplace Christians. The other examples in the book of acts are Acts 4:32-35; Acts 6:1-7; Acts 11:26-12:25. I am not advocating some form of Christian socialism. But what I am talking is Marketplace Reconciliation, which will create a new social group and atmosphere for revival, a tangible manifestation of grace in the marketplace, a reconciliation continuum, for city transformation. What I am talking is not just giving money to the poor but empowering them to prosper--- give a man a fish you and you will be given give another fish; teach a man to fish and they will go fishing. I talk about lasting changes in our cities--- the rich gives up their place in order to be reconciled with the poor. God loves Barthimaeus. They know he needs a miracle. However, if Zacchaeus comes to Church, no one thinks he has a need. This is where we have been wrong. God loves both Barthimaeus and Zecchaeus with the same love. The Church must repent of prejudice against the rich. When Zecchaeus got saved, he will give half of his wealth to the poor. This must make a big impact among many. God has plan for the rich. The Bible says if you are faithful with the minas, you shall be faithful in ruling over cities. The wealthy will carry a key role in establishing God's kingdom in cities all over the world. The Bible says in Isaiah 45:14; "That the noble and the rich will serve our God by submitting to us for the kingdom purpose. Reference: ED Silvoso "Anointed For Business" 11. Marketplace Church The Church is multidimensional; the core of the Church is the Local Church. Each dimension is another layer that God called us to minister in. If we only remain in the core, we will never increase. Ninety-eight percent of ministry is outside of the four walls if the Church, and two percent of ministry are inside of the four walls of the Church. God has ordained the four walls of the Church for place of gathering and equipping. But God has not ordained the four walls for the work of ministry. Ministry should not be limited by the four walls. If we control the work of ministry, God will deal with you. You will become a hindrance to the advance of the Kingdom of God. Thrust becomes an enemy of God. The spiritual gifts God has given to each one of us was not just made for the four walls of the Church. When the Holy Spirit came upon us, He give us power to be witnesses and the spiritual gifts are given for us to witness to the World. God give each one of us talents and life gifts; we are called to glorify in the World. We must be faithful in our talents and life gifts for promotion comes through our faithfulness. Our life gifts compliment our spiritual gifts. Each of those gifts is according to the grace giving to you. God speak to us through visions and dreams. I have heard many who receive the blueprints while they sleep at night. The Holy Spirit can lead us in Business and the marketplace, not just in the four walls of the Church. The transference of wealth will not happen unless we build the bride in the marketplace. The wealth of the sinners are ready for us. Many wicked business and kings are ready to give unto us for the purpose of building and advancing the kingdom of God. We can't just influence our cities within the four walls of the Church and expect city transformation. We need also to influence business and the marketplace in order to have city transformation. What is the Marketplace? The Marketplace is composed of the following: Business: It is where the money is made and contains the talents to build, manage, and grow enterprises. Government: It is the location of power. It establishes and enforces laws and regulations. Education: It trains and shapes the hearts and minds of our children and the future workers. Media: It influences all areas of the community through what we hear, read, see, and often how we think. 12. Marketplace & The Church God is going between the church and the marketplace. To bring a holy reconciliation. God has been waiting for this divine time in the history of man. Don't limit your eye sight any longer, many people have overlooked the marketplace and those that are place their by God. We think they are there to support the work of the Lord. Yes that is one reason, the other is influence. God is widening the vision of the Church to add the marketplace. Many Christians Ministers who have gone from the marketplace to minister in the Church. However, God is calling you back. Not all but some. In addition, those who are in a wrong place when they were not called to be in the church ministry but in the marketplace ministry. Yes you are full five-fold government gifts, but your place is in the marketplace. In addition, there are many of you who have a holy calling, who think your place, is in the church, but it is not, can't you see God opening doors in the marketplace for your ministry. In addition, they're many Christians who are in business, or are in other fields of the marketplace. However, you have lack the recognition from the body and the affirmation from the leadership of the church. The time has come for reconciliation between you and your church. A recognition and affirmation of your purpose and place in the body. The Holy Spirit is arise and rising up the seven of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, faith and wisdom. The seven were seven businesspersons whom God anointed to be appoint over business. We shall see the same fruits of Acts 6:1-8 in those who walk as the seven today. The Church in the Marketplace will be a mighty wave. In turn the gold and silver will be release from heaven to the Church. The Church will be greater then all past moves. The glory of the Lord will fill the Church. This will happen when Christians enter into the marketplace. There will be those who try standing in the way of this holy reconciliation between the church and the marketplace. However, God will deal with them in like matter as he did to Ananias and Sapphira. The Church in those times must deal with such people who try to stand against reconciliation. The recipe of the second coming of the days of Acts is: Holy Spirit, prayer, Apostles, Vision, prophets, Businesspersons, reconciliation between classes of societies and reconciliation between the church and the marketplace. In addition, believers walking in their callings and gifts, room for the five-fold government gifts, evangelistically, missions and the supernatural. This reconciliation between the church and the marketplace is the bridge that is being build between the church and marketplace for the transference of wealth. 13. Extended Church Many feel, as on Sunday Morning is this all that Christ has for me? Many go to Church on Sunday and even during the weekday and say is this all Christ has for me? Sermon after sermon, faith after faith. Where are the deeds, and where is the works? Talk, talk, talk and no power at all. Those among us who are suffering need much help, but we are too busy to help them. We tithe and tithe, and then we hear the word. We are only hearers and not doers. Where is the application of the Scriptures? However, the Lord in his mercy is dropping seeds of vision in the hearts of many. Visions of a full church not a half church. A vision of the extended church! We are only walking in half of the Body. We have forgotten the other part of the Body. Why did we forget? A few of us teach that this is the only part that matters. Apart from that, Christ wills to reform this half where we have live so much of our time in. There is a need of a reformation of the nuclear church. If there is going to be a connection between the nuclear church and the extended church in the body there must be a reformation of the nuclear church! The vision of the extended church is only in it's beginning. We must establish it and lay the foundation for the extended church in the body. The extended church must be building and developed so they can grow. We are only are in the foundation stage of this side of the Church. We can't afford to have division between the nuclear church and the extended church in the body. We must build the bridge between them, which in turn we change our cities and nations. Although, nuclear Church is only ten percent of the Body of Christ, this is the place where the whole body meets and fellowship. This is the place of impartation and equipping. This is the life force of the Body. On the contrary, the extended church is the place of ninety percent of the work of the ministry. You as a Christian in your workplace you must make the shift from saying this is just a job and the real life is in the four walls. You must say and believe that your workplace is your ministry. Begin to worship God in your workplace! Begin to honor your Lord in your workplace! This is the day of Kingdom Business in the workplace! Moreover, John the Baptist was born in the house of a priest. Jesus was raised in the house of a carpenter. Jesus chose twelve men who were in the marketplace. These twelve apostles in turn chose seven Spirit-Filled business Men and ordain them as kings. Those Kings touch their world! Furthermore, many preachers in their lack of knowledge and vision say you are only a carpenter and you say I have two gifts of the Spirit and have influence among the community. It is time for reconciliation between the nuclear church and the extended church. 14. Workplace Saints The Five Governmental gifts of the church are the apostle, prophet, teacher, evangelist and pastor they are to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. Equipping is one of main governmental functions of the five governmental gifts. Saints are the ones called to the work of the ministry. Ten percent of the ministry belongs to the five governmental gifts and the ninety percent belongs to the saints. Eph. 4:11-12. The saints movement is a movement of signs and wonders through the common believer in the Body of Christ. There are the roles of being a Christians then there are the gifts of each believer. Every believer is to know how to cast out demons and heal the sick. Mk. 16:17-18. The book of Acts is not just about the apostles it is more then that. The Apostles were the leaders of the saints who walk in the power and authority in Christ. We see this in Acts six, eight, eleventh. Where the saints were not laity and the governmental gifts were not clergy. The practical application of the saints movement is called the workplace movement. They are one and same thing. It is understand that the priestly ministry is in the nuclear church and the kingly ministry is in the extended church. It is no longer clergy and laity it is now priests and kings in Christ. The Church is a kingly priesthood. Furthermore, we are in the day of the workplace saints a move of signs and wonders in our everyday life. 15. Workplace Movement We are only in the beginning stages of this move of God in the workplace. We are in the early stages preparing and pioneering the way of the workplace movement. We are in the foundation days of this holy river of God. This foundation is being laid by marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets. Will this movement be another fad or will it reach the tipping point of society? This movement and the Saints Movements is the same river. This is the restoration of the believer's ministry in the Church. Ninety percent of the Church for along time had no purpose or place in the Body of Christ. There has been years after years without the kingly anointing in the Body of Christ. We have live on the priestly anointing in the ninety percent where the kingly anointing should be. The Saints Movement is one of the last restorations to the Body of Christ. It is the beginning of the end of the restoration times to the Body of Christ. It is the beginning of the end of the second day of the Church. So the church will cross over to the day of the glorious church. You as a Christian must make the shift in your business or your workplace toward the faith that your business or your workplace is your ministry. It is time for the kingdom businesses to come forth in the Church and the World. The nuclear church is going through reformation. And the extended church is to be established and will grow. The nuclear Church is being reform by the Church Apostles and Church Prophets. The extended church is being established and builds by the Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets. The foundation of what God is doing, and the foundation of the Church is the modern day apostles and prophets. Although, this workplace movement is beyond any certain Christian group and is crossing many groups in Christ. However, in the long run it is the church that is reformed that the connection between the church and the marketplace will be made sure. Furthermore, our workplace and our business must become worship before God. Doing God's will is true worship, which was in the beginning of man and shall be in the end of days. 16. Marketplace Army Religious spirits and satan has try for years to keep this holy army back from transforming our cities. They have used the lies of theological belief of the division between clergy and laity. To neutralizes your calling and anointing in business and the marketplace. These lies are so lethal to keep the division alive and you dead in your workplace, to keep the church in a little box called a temple, to say you are not spiritual, and that your primary role is only to support those in the ministry. However, the Holy Spirit is moving among his body planting revelation seeds of revolution in society through the marketplace and the church. The Lord is raising pioneers of kingdom business for a new frontier. The Lord is rising up generals to help lead this army. God is moving among the Government offices of the Church and speaking and giving them a heart to reach out to those in Business and marketplace. This is a global army of Marketplace Christians and Christian Businesspersons being form throughout the Body of Christ and in every nation on Earth. This is not a fad at all! This is a kingdom advance movement that will touch every life in the Body of Christ. This Marketplace Army will establish the Kingdom of God in most cities around the World. They will establish the Church in the Marketplace. They will influence the marketplace to change the world. They will help heal the hearts of many cities, for the heart of the city is the marketplace. This is a kingdom movement that can't be stopped. This holy army of marketplace Christians and Christian businesspersons will create a continue flow of wealth and financial resources for the Body of Christ. There will be many that will become rich for the sake of provision for the vision and influence in the Marketplace. Yes there will be many millionaires, billionaires and even beyond that Christ will raise up to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of the Cities around the World. This great army is a movement of great wealth in the Church and the World. This great movement of wealth is a river that will flow throughout time. Many Businesspersons will set up charitable foundations to support ministries around the world. Everywhere a person in ministry will look they can see new charitable foundations that are there to help them. However, there will be some Marketplace Christians that will not obey the Holy Spirit in the wheels of this Marketplace Army and likewise there will be some businesspersons that will not obey ether. These two will not walk in the blessings of this great army. Beside, there will be local churches, ministries, and pastors, etc. that will not be open these too will not partake in these fruits. On other hand every one will be touch or influence by this army although they will not have most of the fruits but they will partake in a little of them. Furthermore, This Marketplace Army is army of Kings of Christ that will move forth to possess the Earth, which is the new promise land! 17. Marketplace in Antioch The Church at Antioch is a model from the modern day church. There was no ethnic division in the church of Antioch they overcome this status quo. Before the Movement of saints reached this city it was divided into four separation ethnic groups of its population. These were the, Greeks, Syrians, Africans, and Jewish. However, through the movement of saints ethnic reconciliation came between these groups. In this Antioch Church there was no division of race! When we bridge the social gaps it weakness the spiritual darkness in a giving city. In addition, the leadership team of Antioch Church was multiethnic. Beside, this church was opened and moved with the prophetic ministry. This Antioch church sent teams out to the nations. This Antioch Church joined together to accomplish projects of compassion. Antioch is an Apostolic Church that Christ is birthing again in the Earth. Every Believer walked in their gifts and this was a five-fold church. I personal am envisioning with this vision of Antioch for the local church. Apart from that, there was another kind of reconciliation, which is between the church and the marketplace. There was no division between the Church and the Marketplace in Antioch. There was no division between the Sunday Church and Monday workplace. In Antioch the Monday workplace was the extended Sunday church. Moreover, there was no division between the clergy and the laity. The church in Antioch did not have mindsets of temple faith instead they had community faith. There was no lie that the church is called to operate primarily inside of a building. There faith was greater, there ministries were greater then box minded faith. Christians who were in business was spiritual as those who minister in the nuclear church in Antioch. In Antioch the primary role of marketplace Christians was not to make money to support the vision, they were apart of the vision. How did great numbers first come to know the Lord in Antioch? Was it through Barnabas or was it through Paul? There will a great number won through these common saints, Marketplace Christian. Did they move to Antioch and not open their own business? Yes they did. In Antioch there was no division between the Church and the Marketplace. Furthermore, after these great numbers Barnabas came and they seen the grace of God in him and he was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. Through his ministry a great many people were added to the Lord in Antioch. However, the Marketplace Christian who won a great number did their first part before Barnabas came. It is time for everyone in the Body of Christ to know their place and do their part. For so long marketplace Christians have been kept from their ministry from those who are in ministry. It is time for the ministry of the Church to release the Saints into their ministries too. 18. Marketplace Gifts The work of ministry is more in the outside of the four walls than in the Local Church. The Church is more than the four walls. 98% of the work of the ministry is outside of the four walls. The work of the ministry is not only in the Local Church but the Marketplace. Most ministries will be within the marketplace. God has given us power to get wealth! When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we are given power to be witness. When the Holy Spirit has come upon us, we are given power to get wealth in order to be a witness. Christ has given us power to get wealth in the marketplace and to be witness. We have power from God to be witnesses in the marketplace. Spiritual gifts are not only for the Local Church but also for marketplace, for God has given us power and through spiritual gifts we can impact our workplace for his glory. Not only that we can be a witness through our spiritual gifts but also we can manifest power to get wealth. Let God be your CEO for he knows how to do business better. There is better way to do business. He has given us power and through the spiritual gifts we can do business supernaturally in Christ. What God give us is not only for the Local Church but also for the marketplace. In addition what God give us is also for using in doing business. Power to get wealth means we have power from God through the spiritual gifts we can get wealth to be witnesses in the marketplace. God has given you power to have a business. God has given power for the marketplace. God has given you power to do business supernaturally! 19. Seven Gifts for Business and the Workplace The Kingdom of God is in two parts of one Kingdom. One part is the priesthood and the other part is the Marketplace. We are both Priests and Kings in Christ Jesus our Lord. We are Priests in the Priesthood of the Kingdom, and we are kings in the marketplace. (See 1 Pet. 2:5,9; Rev. 1:6,5:10) The Priesthood is a royal priesthood, a kingly priesthood, and this priesthood is the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is the Bride of Christ, and is the ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. So the Body of Christ is the Priesthood of the Kingdom, Ambassadors of the Kingdom, and the Bride of Christ, this is a threefold purpose of the church. (See 2 Cor. 5:20; Rev. 21:9,22:16-17) Apart from that, there is the marketplace where the Kingdom of God must be establish through his kings on earth, which is us who are Born of the Spirit; the Body of Christ is apart of the Kingdom of God. In the body of Christ you are priests and in the kingdom you are kings. In the church you are priests and in the marketplace you are kings. So in the marketplace, workplace, business and other areas in this world you are kings in Christ. Where every you will go the Kingdom of God is with you, for Kingdom of God is in you through the Holy Spirit. (See LK 17:21; Col. 1:27) In addition, Jesus Christ in the Four Gospels preaches and teaches us the Kingdom of God. He is the King of Kings not a religious leader. Christ never wanted the church to be a religion. In our time the church will be set free from religion and come into alignment with the Kingdom of God. (See Matt. 4:17, 10:7, 24:14) Moreover, In God's mercy the Father sent His Son the Most High to redeem man to his image and likeness in Christ Jesus. Thus this begins the coming of the kingdom of God in the earth. Thus this begins the progress and steps of the kingdom of God being established on earth through redeem man, the Holy Spirit and the future return of Christ. Through Christ dearth, buried, resurrection and his ascension to His holy throne in heaven at the right hand of the Father begun the beginning of the kingdom of God on Earth. Moreover, from rock of Christ, and the rock was Christ. From this rock grow the kingdom of God to all the nations of the world. Christ's kingdom has come definitively through His ascension to the Father; is coming progressively through the increase outpourings of the Holy Spirit; and will come consummately at the glorious climax of history at the Second Coming of Christ. Therefore every one who is truly born again have the Spirit are true full citizen of the Kingdom of God. (See Isa. 9:6-7; Dan. 2:34-35,44-45; LK 19:11-27; Eph. 2:19; Phil. 3:20) Apart from that, the nuclear church is the place of only 2% of the work of the ministry, and the extended church is where the other 98% of work of the ministry is done. The nuclear church must be reformed, for nuclear church is the heart of the church, and the extended church is the refection of the nuclear church. If the nuclear church is not reformed, the extended church cannot fulfill the fullness of its purpose. Reformation is being reformed to the image of Christ; every image that is not Christ will be cast down. (See Eph. 4:12) In addition, we must establish the extended church in the marketplace or workplace to fulfill the Great Commission, to win our Cities to Christ and change our world. Christ wants and wills to bring true revival to the church and the marketplace. Revival is the manifestation of the glory of Christ through the church. This is why we need to build the bridge between the church and the marketplace and between the nuclear church and the extended church, and between the priests and the kings in the Kingdom of God. (Acts 5:1-11, 6:1-7) Apart from that, there are gifts giving to the Body of Christ. They are the gifts of the Father, which are the seven motivational gifts of Father, Gifts of the Spirit, which are the nine manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit, and the Gifts of Christ, which are the five fold ministries of Christ. This categorization is not to limit God. There are other gifts and callings, but each must be based on Biblical grounds. Besides, there are gifts and skills that he gives to everyone born on earth; some of these are talents and life gifts. (See 1 Cor. 12:4-5) In addition, we can apply these gifts to the church and the marketplace. Yes you can apply these gifts in the Monday church too. Now let's talk about the gifts of the Father, which are the seven motivational gifts in Romans 12:3-8,6-8. These gifts are for the body, and every believer has at least one of these. Knowing your gifts are one step of being in divine order with Christ and His body. These seven gifts are also called redemptive gifts. The seven redemptive gifts; they are prophecy or prophet, ministry or servant, teachers or teacher, exhort or exhorter, giver, leads or ruler, and mercy. At this time I will not go into each of these gifts giving understanding, so I ask you to seek God and the Word for that understanding. However, prophecy here is not the same as the gift of prophecy or the gift of the prophet, and likewise the teaches or the teacher is not the same as the gift of the teacher; prophecy here is relates to those who have been giving the grace such as example a law person this is not a natural gift this is a supernatural gift giving to certain believers to see only black and white and no gray, and likewise who teaches or the teacher for example relates to an accountant not a natural gift, instead a supernatural gift giving to certain believers. Moreover, we can apply these seven gifts to business and the workplace, for example prophecy to law persons, servant to service careers, teacher to accountant, exhorter to counselor, givers to business, leads to government, mercy to medical, etc. These are not natural gifts, or skills, these are supernatural gifts, it is not the same as those in the world without Christ in the same careers, instead when we are Born of the Spirit and know His gifts in us and in our lives we then will have an edge in the workplace and the marketplace. In Proverbs 9:1-3 revels seven pillars of wisdom, I believe these seven pillars of wisdom are the seven gifts. These pillars are seven principles that related to the seven redemptive gifts. The seven principles are design, authority, responsibility, sowing and reaping, stewardship, freedom, and fulfillment. These seven pillars of wisdom flow into the believers through the seven gifts. In James 3:13-18 revels the sevenfold wisdom that flows into the believers lives which, are pure wisdom, peaceable wisdom, gentle wisdom, willing to yield wisdom, full of mercy wisdom, good fruits wisdom, and without partiality and without hypocrisy wisdom. These seven rivers of wisdom flow into the believers through the seven gifts. In Isaiah 11:2 and Revelation 1:4, 4:5 revels the Seven Spirits of God which, are the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon you, the Spirit of Wisdom, Spirit of understanding, Spirit of counsel, Spirit of might, Spirit of Knowledge, and the Fear of the Lord; these are names of the Holy Spirit. These Seven Spirits of God flow through the believer's lives through the seven gifts. The Seven Redemptive names of Jehovah are manifested through the believers lives through the seven gifts; the seven redemptive names are Jehovah Jireh, The LORD Who Provides (Genesis 22:14); Jehovah Rapha, The LORD Who Heals (Exodus 15:22-26); Jehovah Nissi, The LORD Our Banner (Exodus 17:14-16); Jehovah Shalom, The LORD Our Peace (Judges 6:11-24); Jehovah Ra-ah, The LORD My Shepherd (Psalm 23:1); Jehovah Tsidkenu, The LORD Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6); Jehovah Shammah, The LORD Who is Present (Ezekiel 48:35). Descriptions of God in Psalm 18:2 are My rock; my fortress; my deliverer; my strength; my buckler; the horn of my salvation; my high tower. These seven descriptions are manifested through the believers through the seven gifts. Nevertheless, I am not trying to make a new doctrine here, and I am only saying what I believe the Lord gives me and what others teach me in the past. I know that these seven gifts are not natural; they are supernatural graces from Christ for the church, marketplace, and everyday life. Furthermore, you can even apply these seven redemptive gifts to the nations and cities to find out their redemptive gift. We can see examples, types, and symbols of these seven redemptive gifts throughout the Bible. Reference: Arthur Burk Plumbline Ministries "Sevens In Scripture" 20. Marketplace Anointings The ministry of the early Christians in the book of Acts ministers more in the marketplace than in the Church. There are a move coming hand in hand with the saint's movement and this new apostolic reformation is called the marketplace movement. This is the commission for the saints to minister in the marketplace through their workplace, in order to impact their cities and nations for Christ. In addition, the heart of the city is the marketplace. Moreover, the key to our cities is the marketplace. Most of the churches are called to full time ministry in their business and the marketplace. God has anointed you for business. God will use your workplace as your platform to reach and bring change to your city. God will use stockbrokers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, farmers, chief operating offices, news reporters, teachers, police offices, plumbers, factory foremen, receptionists, cooks and much more. We use our workplace to influence society and change the heart of out cities. On the contrary, many of us feel we are not pleasing God for the reason we don't minister in the four walls of the Local Church. Besides, we feel guilty that we don't have time to always go to Church services. Well this kind of thinking is wrong and false and we must change and renew our minds so God's power can flow through us in out workplace. Apart from that, your pulpit is your workplace. You are not second-class citizens when compared to those who serve full-time in a Local Church or missionary context. Bring God to your workplace. See your workplace as your ministry. Believe that God will use you in your workplace. Believe that God has anointed you to do the task at your workplace. Believe that you are anointed for business. Believe that you can do greater works of Jesus in the marketplace. Believe that spiritual gifts are for the marketplace, not only for the chosen few. Learn how you can use your influence in the marketplace to change the world. Everyday open your workday in prayer. Be prayerful throughout your day; practice the presence of God in your workplace. However, do it on your own time not on your employer's time. This will not be honoring God in the marketplace. We are to be good employees in our workplace with sincerity of heart doing the will of God from our hearts with goodwill doing service as to the Lord and not to our employers. Knowing that when anyone does well, he will receive the same from God. This means God will reward you so you are not only getting paid but also you are getting rewards from God. Moreover, those who are anointed to employ others should not do evil unto their employees. In addition, we should not be threatening them or showing partiality and unfairness toward those whom God entrust us in our care. God has anointed us for business. God is calling many of us in business. God has anointed us for the marketplace. In order to use the influence that God gives us through his power in our workplace to use our influence to change out cities and nations for the glory of Christ. On the contrary, our influence will be hindered and we will do the kingdom of God harm when we do not live an honorable life in the workplace. But if we honor God by living a honorable life in our workplace, not only will we reward from those who work with us but God himself will reward us; not only in the life to come but now beside this we will do God's will in the marketplace. Therefore his power will flow through us and bring many changes to the heart of our cities. 21. Spiritual Weapons We don't walk in the flesh nor do we war according to the flesh. There are many businesspersons who have the wisdom of men, who been in college. They do business according to this world. God can give us wisdom for business through revelation. God has anointed you businesspersons among his church to arise up not in the wisdom, which come through man's thinking, which that too is from God. However, you will have the wisdom of God in business. It is God who gives you good mind, a business mind, and a mind for business. All of this will be through revelation. In addition, in order to open these gates of wisdom we must make Jesus a priority in our life and business. We should become partners with him. Do business the way he does business. Give God the place above yourself in business matters. Moreover, love God with all your might and learn the fear of the Lord. Apart from that, the world has it's own weapons for business. They have brought great breakthrough to their nations and mankind. However, it was all God behind them, allow them to become great. In addition, there weapons for business, which the world does not have, which shall be given to God's businesspersons. There spiritual weapons for business waiting for you at the throne. If you seek me you will find them. If you ask me, then you will have them. These spiritual weapons for business will come through revelation and relationship. Surely, in this moment in time my businesspersons with my weapons for business shall be greater then any one among you. Soon you will see wave of Christian businesspersons buying up everything in their pathway. Using their influence in the marketplace to change the world and bring Christ to Earth. In addition, there are keys for business, keys to open markets. Keys to open new flows of money. God gives these keys to other businesspersons that don't even know God, but God allowed, so that others may be blessed. In this day God will give many keys for business that are prepare for those who will come into business with God. These persons will open doors to the markets and even create markets that are not there. They will bring great flows of money into nations. Many will reap from their labors. All these keys come through revelation. It was God give those who don't know him, it is God who is ready to give them to his own people. This is the day of new keys for business for many Christian businesspersons who seek, ask me for keys, seek me and you will find! Moreover, it is God who gives wisdom for business ideals, wisdom for witty inventions, and business favor. In addition, It is God who gives you power to fulfill your goals, power to work the joy of your hands. It he who wants you to rejoices in the labor of your hands. As God anointed the kings of old so shall he anointed the businesspersons of today. You need to believe that God anointed you to be in business and this is your rightful place in the Body of Christ. Beside, he give you not only the anointing, but also the vision, plan and goals. However, there are some thing we must do; 1. Remember the Lord your God, for it he give power to get wealth. 2. Give God the praise and glory. 3. Use your influence for God. 4. Give generous, and support the work of the ministry. God is building a bridge between the marketplace and the church for the transference of wealth. Each stone shall lay to build this bridge. One of those stones is Christian's businesspersons, you need to know place in the building of this bridge. This transference is not one way, but two ways. The world wills transference its wealth to the Church. The church wills transference God's grace and favor to the world. The Stones in the bridge of the transference of wealth are: Christian Businesspersons Wicked Businesspersons Christian Tycoons Wicked Tycoons Marketplace Apostles Christian Politicians Wicked Politicians 22. Marketplace Unity Marketplace Christians are a major key to change the marketplace. If revivals come to a local Church and it only stays within the four walls, it will never transform the city. God is empowering Marketplace Christians to take their place in the marketplace. In addition, all born again Christians in the marketplace must see first that anyone who knows Jesus Christ as Lord is a true born again Christian. This is common bond that Jesus Christ is Lord. Marketplace Christians need to know who their brothers in Christ are. We need to have unity in Christ. We belong to a kingdom and this kingdom is under a King. Our King is Jesus! This kingdom needs to be one in the Lord. We need to see us working together in the marketplace. Love those who are your brother in the marketplace. Don't look down on them for not being a part of your group. Show kindness and learn to become friends. Christians in the marketplace should learn to be friends to other Christians that are not a part of their denomination. We need to mend the entire social gaps according to the epistle to the Ephesians, which are salvation, ethnic, denominational, ministerial, gender, generational, and marketplace. The prophetic prophecy of John 17 will fulfill before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that there will be oneness among Christian groups under Christ, not that there will be one group, but many groups that have reconciliation in Christ. In the marketplace, Christians need to be in oneness, not that one group but they have reconciliation of Christian love under Jesus Christ our Lord. Moreover, we should go out to the battle in Jesus' name and fight the just fight of faith in the marketplace. However, without our true love in the marketplace among marketplace Christians, how can fight this good war of faith? 23. Marketplace Worship God is renewing our minds, changing our thinking to community thinking. He changes the Christian subculture to a Christian counterculture. God is giving marketplace Christian's significance in their workplace in their marketplace. So much de-significance, de-purpose and de-powerment happen. They do not come from the Church but this is Satan's plan in the minds of some Christians that were not in alliance with the heart and mind of God. To marketplace Christians, work is worship. This is a revolutionary concept and a seed idea from Christ himself---that business is worship unto God--that business is a priority--that business is a priority over a worship service! Worship is a lifestyle! Work is worship when we do it to please God. This comes through God-driven purpose in work. Whatever we do, we do it in faith unto God our rewarder in this life and in the life to come. Revolution is a sudden or momentous change in a situation-- to bring about a radical change. The concept ---the work is worship is revolutionary concept that brings radical changes in momentous change in the Church and the Marketplace. This revolutionary concept is the heart of the marketplace center revival that is coming from the marketplace Christians in the marketplace are to be established in God's Kingdom. In the beginning of the mankind, in the book of Genesis chapter two, before there was worship, there was work. Work is worship unto God. God made men to worship him and rule over the Earth. We worship God through our purpose in work. The two perfect times in the whole is chapter Genesis one and two. Jesus Christ our Lord is the last Adam and he came to redeem us from the curse. We were being redeemed and we have the authority that Adam has through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our Lord takes this authority, which Satan stole from Adam, back and gives it back to us. We were being redeemed from the curse of the fall of man. In John 4:23-24 talks about true worship and true worshippers. God is restoring the tabernacle of David to the Church, the Body of Christ and worship in work. God is bringing the Tabernacle lifestyle to the workplace. 24. Spiritual Experience It is time for your workday to be a Spiritual Experience. This can happen when you see your work as a form of worship and your God honors you for going to work day after day. And that you working in the workplace are on His top ten lists. God will reward you not only in Heaven, He will reward in this life and in the future and in the now for your service unto Him during your day of work. You must believe and renew you mind that your work at the workplace is a service unto God. That you work at the workplace is you serving God. You are too a servant of the Lord. We can worship God on Monday not only on Sunday in words only instead in our everyday workplace we can worship God. Before the fall there was not a worship service, instead the worship service was the workplace. This is foundation of a Spiritual Experience at your workplace. This is the foundation of revival in the marketplace. Now only that you can have a Spiritual Experience you can also have a supernatural Experience with the Holy Spirit at the workplace. We can witness the favor and power of God during our workday. You can feel the presence of the Lord upon your life during your workday. This presence of the Lord will be a witness of those around you that God is real and that God is with you. When we work from our heart unto the Lord in our workplace this is worship unto the Lord. When we do our best and even goes beyond that in our workplace this is also worship unto God if we do it unto Him through our heart. When we do what is right and honorable at our workplace from our heart this is worship to our Lord. When we are willing to go to work day after day and go our best from our heart unto the Lord this is worship to the Lord. Beyond this when work unto God we do out best and even more, however we don't have to work hard and work everyday without rest and we don't have to work, work and no fun. We are to walk in the rest of God and His favor. We are to rest and have fun too. After a day of work, give that day of work unto God in thanksgiving and thank Him for this work unto Him. Offer your day of work and your work unto Him has an offering unto Him. Furthermore, our workplace can be a Spiritual Experience if we repent of old mindsets and begin to worship God in our hearts. We then will begin to look foreword to going to work everyday. 25. Church and Civic Government For there is no authority except from God, and God appoints the authorities that exist. God has a purpose for civic governments; we need to clearly see that purpose. We as believers are to pray for those governments, and through our prayers the Lord will guide these governments. (Rom. 13:1-7, I Tim. 2:1-8) Civic government is to protect the freedoms of the people that entrust those in authority to govern. Not only that, civic governments are to protect the freedoms of the church and the Lord's people. All civic governments are subject to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Jesus Christ and the Word of God is not just for those who go to church, they are for everyone, that means governments need the Lord too, and they need to know that Word of God is the finial authority in the world and in there land. The Church is the Bride of Christ, the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, and the ambassadors for the Kingdom of God. The church is to be the conscience of governments and nations. Governments should always have an open ear to hear what the church is saying to them. We in the Church are priests in Christ in the royal priesthood of the Kingdom of God. The functions of priests are to minister to the Lord in worship and prayer, to make intercession for the world, to live a godly life, and to minister the Living Word to the World. Being priests has its limits set forth in the Word of God. However, not only we are priests in the Kingdom of God, we are kings in Christ Jesus who is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. We are called to be kings in this world in Christ. As kings our King of kings sets our limits, and we are kings where every His Kingdom is, and His kingdom is over all things. Priests we are limited to the service of the royal priesthood, but as kings we are limited by the Kingdom of God, which is everywhere. The Lord wants kings in the marketplace, government, business, and education, etc. Believers in Christ are called to the head and above only in all areas and walks of society. You are called to be a king in the area that the Lord has called you to be in. We are to be kings on the Lord's behalf in this world, which is in His hands. He rules through us in this life, and in the next we will reign with Him. It is time for those who are called to run for pubic office or those called to civic service to raise and begin to obey the Lord in the steps that lead you to your holy calling. It is time for us to reform our governments not only through the power of prayer and revival, in addition, through those who are called among us to enter this area of the marketplace, in pubic office and civic service. 26. Appointed By God Before the people chose the politicians, God had already picked them and he had already known who is going to win. No matter what type of government, all those in authority, are appointed by God. At the church in Rome, Paul wrote and said that God has appointed them. Saints, we should pray for those in authority. Today there are spirits working among many even in the church. It's called the spirit of lawlessness. Things are going to change in our nation if the church is walking in spirit of lawlessness. God uses wicked leaders that don't even know Him. When the Saints pray, God will move upon the wicked leaders to make them do the will of God. In addition, through the prophetic word given by Prophets, God can stir up those leaders appointed by God to fulfill the will of God for his people. Moreover, God stir up King Cyrus to fulfill the prophetic words spoken by the Prophet Isaiah and Jeremiah and through the intercession and fasting of Daniel. Furthermore, in Isaiah sixth, kings came from all over to help to build the house of God. God is going to use many, not just few wicked leaders to obey and fulfill the prophetic words and help the Church. In addition, we will see many who are in authority will obey God's plans. However, if we don't pray and make intercession for the nations and those in authority, we will not see the plan of God live out in our lives. If God called wicked people into places of authority, he also called godly people that are gifted for public office. There are many in our Churches that God has appointed them but they have not yet responded to their calls. It could be for many reasons, but today we must change and renew our minds. Christ is calling his people to be the head in all areas and walks of life on this Earth and that goes for public office too. 27. Spirit-Filled Statesmen Can one be a true Christian and be in politician at the same time? Today we have some in pubic office who say they are Christians and follow agenda that is not according to Holy Scriptures. Can a True Christian be a politician without so many unnecessarily compromise? It seems in order to be a good politician one must compromise and be cunning at it. On the contrary, the Holy Spirit is moving among his Body to seek out those whom Christ the King of Kings have ordain for public office. Christ is ordering their steps to being them into fruitfulness and to public office. He is modeling these chosen vessels of mercy for public office. It is God who appoints every person who will hold a pubic office. Therefore, The Lord in His council is appointing his own within his body to be in pubic office. There are waves of Spirit-Filled Politicians that will form holy coalitions among other Spirit-Filled Politicians to come into a new agenda, a kingdom agenda for government. Not only there is kingdom agenda coming in government, there are coming Spirit-Filled visionaries to help lead and guide in government to a better day. In addition, these Holy Politicians will be seated in the council of the Apostles and Prophets. Apart from that, the Marketplace is the heart of the City. If you heal the heart of the City you will heal the City. The Heart of a Nation is in the Marketplace and if you heal this heart the Nation will be healed. Apart from the Marketplace is governemt, and Christ wills not only those called into pubic office but also every one who is called to the workplace of government to be a witness of Christ. Furthermore, God has a council for every Nation for those called into Pubic office to behold his council and apply them to their Government. There will be a righteousness governmentally movement that change and impact the nations and governments of the World. This holy move of God will redefine the relationships between the Church, Governemt and the Nation of Israel. 28. Governmental Anointing We as Christians are to pray for the nations, and their governments to come in line with the Kingdom of God. We are to pray for those who are in authority. The Word says that God appoints them. When we pray for justice God will raise up new authority to come into power. There are nations that are goat nations and then there are those nations that are sheep nations. If we don't pray for a government it may be a goat nation. A goat nation wills persecution Christians or allows them to be persecution within their nation. Then there are sheep nations who will not allow or hurt any Christian or stop the Word. We as Christians have the authority in Christ to pray for change in the governments and nations. When Christians pray God will make the rulers obey His word and Divine plan. In addition, God will rise up Cyrus type of kings to do His divine will in government. Moreover, God is calling a great number among the church to run for public office. There is an anointing for those called to run for public office it is called governmental anointing. If God called you to run for office, He also has giving you an anointing to be in that office. I believe there is a link between Christians in public office and the kingdom of God and the future of Christ's return. I believe there will be more and more Christians in power in many nations around the world for reasons that the meek shall be giving the earth. However, those in public office can't fulfill everything. The Church has to do there part in the earth. There needs to be alliance made between government and the church in the purpose of the kingdom of God. Since the day will come that all nations are under the kingdom rule of Christ and His kings on earth. Furthermore, I believe that Holy Spirit is saying to many around the world who are called to public office now is your time. I have opened the doors before you. I have gone before you and prepare the way. Take of my heart and my mind and govern in Christ behalf. 29. Careerlink What will you like to be when you grow up? What do you want to study in college? Which college do you want to go? What is the career that you will choose? How much money will you make? Today when your in high school getting ready to move on to college you would see a guidance or career counselor. They will help you with your career seeking. However, something and most times these persons are not Holy Spirit lead and give you wrong advice. Apart from that, you are a person who has been at a certain job for so many years now that have to be let you go. You may have a four year degree and after looking and seeking for a new job for some time you decide to get some more training to update your skills. Apart from that, you may be a person who been out looking for a job for sometime and still no matter how many applications you fill out you never seem to land a good job. Nevertheless, you then go to a job seeking service to get their help, and again you run in to some one who thinks their a wise guidance or career counselor they try to help you yet they themselves are not wise in the ways of the Lord. However, those around see you are a person who can never land a good job. They seem not to understand you in most times. Their advice never helps or gives you comfort instead they are just taking up your time. The word says for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:10. Every person born on this Earth has been giving a purpose from God for living. We as Born Again Christians can walk in and know our purpose. Knowing and walking in our purpose is the key to our success. The Lord himself holds our secrets to our success. We will know this when we know Christ more, as we decide to please Him in what every we do. However, before any person goes to college. They should know their own grace skills, life gifts, and spiritual gifts. We look at that which is spiritual and think we cannot apply to the secular world. This is a wrong ideal. Christ has sent each one of us into this world to be a witness. He will use you in the workplace as your ministry. Furthermore, If we seek Him, if we know Him and we will walk in Him in our everyday life. You will have a good and successful life in Him. 30. In Five Years Have you ever been to an interview where the person that is interviewing you asked you where do you see yourself in five years? Do you ever fine this question funny? Do ever find this question is hard to answer? Do you ever find that you cannot answer this question honestly? Well the Holy Spirit spoke to me a few days ago to write about this question in light of God's goodness and favor in our lives. See God's will is success; promotion, favor, progress and fulfilling His goals and our goals that are according to His Word, Nature and Will for us. The Lord wants to promote us to higher positions among other people in the workplace. The Lord wants us to have good success in the workplace. The Lord wants us to have favor in the workplace. The Lord wants us to progress in the workplace. The Lord wants us to fulfill our goals. But we must see His ways, His paths, His plans, and His will to our promotion in the workplace, community and life. First and foremost; your workplace must become your ministry, Worship God at work, worship God through your work, Establish the Monday church, be prayerful at your workplace, have a heart for the Lord in your workplace, Do your best and even go beyond that, and wait for open doors to be a witness. Here are some points that aid you in your pathway to promotion in the workplace. Pray for favor, pray for the anointing to do your job better, pray for grace to do your job better, Be prayerful and cover your job with prayer, Do your best and do better at your job, excel in your work, Be content, rejoice, have the joy of the Lord, and do all things without complaining and disputing, Set the right priorities first is your relationship with the Lord, next is your relationship with you love ones, and then comes your workplace ministry, and Learn to have a giving heart; learn the power of grace giving. In addition, learn to walk in the rest of the Lord, and learn to take time off and rest in the Lord. It is not all work and no fun. You need your fun, and family time and time with the Lord. In your goals to promotion and success do not overlook the principle of rest. Your only main goal and motive should not just be to have promotion and success, instead it should be to please God, worship God, and be a witness for Him in the workplace. We must remember it is He who gives us power to get wealth, and it is He who is the One who will promote us. He holds our promotion in His hands. (Psa. 75:6) On the way to our promotion and success we will go through certain steps and learning processes to be ready for our day of promotion. Yes we do have success today; instead the success that I am talking about is one that comes in the future. We will learn from life experience that the Lord lead us through and around. The Lord teaches us what really matters in Life and to be content in just knowing Him. The Lord teaches us patience day by day for the future days. He will teach us wisdom and understanding for everyday. He will build character in us, and He will build in us a person of excellent. He will establish vision in our hearts. He will change our viewpoints. He will renew our mindsets. He will teach us new things. He will show us a better ways of doing things. He will teach us to see by the eyes of our heart. 31. Eight Values 4 the Marketplace We are to rejoice always, this is an action of our will that brings the fruit of joy. We need to rejoice throughout are battles in the marketplace. In hard times we should arise to be a witness in the Marketplace. Those in the world should see God in us during our hard times. When we rejoice and therefore are a witness than the Lord is at hand. Phil. 4:4-5. We are not to be anxious in our workplace ministry. During those times and other times we are to pray, with thanksgiving. Workplace ministries are to be prayerful in the marketplace. If we are then the peace of God will rule and come into our hearts and minds that will surpasses all our understanding. Those around will say how come this person is always at peace. I am not saying that we are going to be 100% peaceful however; this should be our goal as workplace ministries. Phil. 4:6-7. To meditate is more then just thinking! To meditate is to speak forth the Word in your life. To watch what you say in the marketplace. In addition, to meditate is an action. It is time for marketplace Christians to no longer reaction to everything instead live to have proper action. Let your life be a witness before those in the World and the Church. If we do these things we will walk in peacePhil. 4:8-9. Grace and peace can be multiplied through knowledge of the Lord in our lives, in our workplace ministry. Jesus has given to us his divine power in all things pertaining to this life and to live a godly life in this world and in your workplace. This is through his knowledge that we are called to glory and virtue. We are not just called to a moral excellence life but also called to a glorious life. This is not only in the four walls of the nuclear church it is also in the extended church. By the Words of God in the Bible we can partake of His divine nature and through his Word and his nature in us we can live a life free of corruption and lust. 2 Pet. 1:2-3. We are to lay a foundation not only of the Word but also his nature in us. If we don't lack in any of these we will see more clearly our vision for our life. Our life will be an open door of blessing if we have these characteristics of his nature in us. The first is faith, second is virtue, third is knowledge, fourth is self-control, fifth is perseverance, sixth is godliness, seventh is Brotherly kindness, and eighth is love. Yes it is love that makes our election sure in the marketplace. We are called to diligence in the growth of these fruits. 2 Pet. 1: 5-11. We are to take hold of the Word of God, the Bible and cleanse ourselves from filthiness in our life, in our workplace. Christians are to live a holy live and walk in the fear of the Lord in their workplace. 2 Cor. 7:1 how does one cleanse oneself? You cleanse yourself by the Blood of Jesus, by grace, by faith, by the Word of God, and by the Holy Spirit. The four elements of sanctification are the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, faith, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus covered us with his blood on the cross. It is written in the Word, We read it and then we have faith in his Blood thus the Holy Spirit sanctifies us. Heb. 9:14. Apart from this, here are eight values for the marketplace. That every Christian in the workplace can apply. Phil. 4:8. 1. Are you true before people, and true behind their backs? Are you one person at work and another person at home? Are you one person at your workplace and another person on Sunday at church? 2. Did you have a noble vision, destiny and purpose? Are you doing things, which could hinder this vision? Are you doing things that are not according to your purpose? 3. Is what your doing can you justified it before a council of people? Is it Justifiable? Is it just? 4. Is your motive pure? What is your purpose for wealth? What is your true heart? 5. Do you walk in kindness and love? Do you forgive others? Is their mercy coming from you toward others? Or are you walking in bitterness at work? 6. What your doing will it bring a good report in the outside world, in the church, and those around you? 7. Is what your doing is it according to moral excellence? Is it according to virtue? 8. It is praise-worthy? Is what your doing will it bring praise to the Lord? Is your life praise worthy before the Lord? 32. Prayer & Warfare in the Workplace You must know as a saint, believer and a Christian you are called to be a witness. There are those who earn their income through work, etc. We are doing our work in the workplace unto God. We are to do our work in the workplace unto God from our heart. Our work is to be a form of worship unto God. Therefore we are sent forth and called forth into the workplace. (Eph. 6:5-9; Col. 3:22-25, 4:1) In addition, our calling into the workplace is a holy call. This is why we must do our best in heart and action to be witness first of all through our actions and then our words. It is the Lord that will open the doors for you to be a witness, and you are the one that must first be a witness in action before God opens the other doors. Be prayerful about you job, your wages, and your promotion. Be prayerful about those who you work for and those who you work with. Pray the Word of God over them, which is the will of God for man. Pray for these needs and pray for them to know the Lord. Pray for favor; pray that the Lord gives you favor with those you work for and those who you work with. Pray for the kind of favor you need, etc. Favor for this or favor for that. In addition after each worksite is done pray the Lord's favor upon the work you done, etc. Moreover, if you are not getting the right pay, etc. pray to the Lord of Sabaoth to war for your wages. Now this takes us to the next point in this article. Spiritual warfare in the workplace. If you being Spirit filled in workplace where they unsaved people there will warfare. Well there is even much warfare in the church. But in the workplace is your ministry and it to be battleground that you must stand your ground. This is done in prayer and spiritual warfare. (Jam. 5:4) But you must know who is the real enemy? The real enemy is not your Boss, or those who you work with. Yes they can be an enemy etc. Instead the real enemies are demons. That battle is over those who don't know Christ and to hinder you from establishing the Kingdom in the workplace. Do give up, have patience, be prayerful, rejoice everyday, and thank God for each day of work. In addition, pray for wisdom in what to do in each area that rises in the workplace. Learn to listen to the Holy Spirit in your workplace. 33. Demons in the Workplace Demons and people try keeping God out of Government, out of business, out of the workplace and the marketplace and keeping Him in a four walls name a church. However, this is not God's will. God's will is to be in government, business, workplace, marketplace, and the four walls name church. God is too big for our human boxes to box Him in. When you try to box Him in, He will box you into a place of repentance. Yes there is the place for the church and then there is the place for the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not limit by a building, and likewise the church. We must see the nature of church and nature of the Kingdom at work in certain set limits that God order not man. This is the order of priesthood and the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is in us and we are to take the Kingdom of God to the workplace and establish the Kingdom of God in the workplace. We have fought other battlegrounds in the past; now it is time to fight the battlegrounds in the marketplace. There are demons of greed, envy, control, lusted for power, and strife working against the Kingdom of God. We are called to pray and do spiritual warfare by the leading of Holy Spirit and according to the Word of God. When you as a believer with the Holy Spirit in you and around you enter into the workplace. The demons that have try to keep control and power over the marketplace will begin to manifest against you. It is the Spirit of Christ vs. the antichrist spirits at war. We are to stand our ground and establish the Kingdom of God. The Rock of the Church is Jesus Christ. The Rock of the Kingdom of God is Jesus Christ. This holy stone will crush the iron, clay, silver, and gold into chaff from the threshing floor; and the wind of the Holy Spirit will carry them away so that no trace of them will be found. The Kingdom of God is in you and through you in the workplace these kingdoms of darkness can be destroy and the Kingdom of God be establish, and the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of Christ. (Dan. 2:34-35) 34. Promotion in the Workplace No matter what place or level you are at in the workplace the Lord can use you to glorify His name in your actions, words, and prayers. Never look down at yourself in the job that the Lord has giving you. The Lord is with you and wills to advance His Kingdom through you if you are willing. The Lord has anointed us in the workplace to honor His name and do our best unto Him and in turn He opens door for you to speak on His behalf. In addition, you are a doing good service wherever you are at in the workplace. The Lord wants and wills His Believers to be the head in every area of this world. However, we must be willing to be a Christian at the workplace not only on Sunday Mornings. The Lord is using us to establish the Monday Church in the workplace. If we apply His Word and have the right heart we do our best in what we do, and then we will be the head and above only for His Name sake and for the Kingdom sake. Your workplace or job must not just be a job, instead your ministry. It is time for you to enter into your ministry and become a marketplace minister in the workforce. You are not there for the purpose of getting money to live on, instead you are there for the reasons it is your ministry and service unto the Lord. The Church, the nuclear church is the place for the ministry of the priesthood. We are all priest and we fulfill our functions through praying, worshiping, ministering to the Lord, ministering to one another, and ministering to the world. Then there is the Kingdom, which you can understand as not only the church, which is the priesthood, instead, the extended church outside the four walls and above everything outside of the church. The church is only a part of the Kingdom. In application of this truth you can apply this to the workplace by being a workplace minister or a king in the marketplace. First and foremost your workplace must become your ministry. Here are some points to apply to your workplace, etc. 1. Your workplace becomes your ministry. 2. Your are a Christian on Mondays more then Sundays. 3. You have heart for the Lord in your workplace. 4. You do your best and then go beyond that to give glory to Christ. 5. You become a person of prayer, praying over all areas of your workplace. 6. You worship God at your workplace. 7. You wait for open doors to be a witness. Moreover, the Lord wills to promote us in our workplace. It wills to raise us up and give us more favor to make Kingdom changes. Here are some points that aid you in the pathway to promotion in the workplace. 1. Pray for favor of the Lord in your workplace. (See Psa. 5"12) 2. Pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to do your job better in the workplace. (See Ex. 35:31, Ex. 36:1) 3. Pray for the grace to do your job better. (Rom. 12:3,6) 4. Be prayerful and cover you job with prayer. (Josh. 1:3) 5. Do your best and do better at your job, excel in your work. (Pro. 17:25,22:29) 6. Be content, rejoice, have the joy of the Lord, and do all things without complaining and disputing. (Phil. 4:4-5,11,2:14) 7. Set the right priorities first is your relationship with the Lord, next is your relationship with you love ones, and then comes your workplace ministry. (Eph. 5:25) 8. Learn to have a giving heart; learn the power of grace giving. (2 Cor. 9:6-8) Remember we are to do our best and even more. We must have the right heart at work that our workplace is our ministry. In addition, it is not all work and no fun. We are to do our work, take time with love ones, rest and have fun instead, of working, working, working, no rest, no fun, and no family time, which is not the will of the Lord for us. Furthermore, there is an anointing for the workplace that every believer can walk in, pray for this anointing, began to walk in this anointing, this anointing will grow and see signs and wonders in the workplace. (See Ex. 35:31, Ex. 36:1) 35. Blessed Workplace God has blessed your workplace and you must believe this and see this happen in your workplace. God is with you in your workplace, for God is in you through the Holy Spirit. Begin today to renew your mindset about your job, about your workplace, for in your workplace Christ can be glorify. Work is God a created thing, He created work before the fall to be a blessing and way for us to worship him, and yes before the fall there was work. Before the fall man did not go to Sunday worship service to worship God, He worshiped God through his work. Yes you can use your job, your workplace as an act of worship when you do your job from your heart unto the Lord, and this one of the keys to bring a manifestation of God in your workplace through you. However, for the reason of the sin of man the ground was cursed in till you shall eat, both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you, and the sweet of your face you shall eat. Before the fall work was fun then after the fall work got harder. (Gen. 3:17-19) But the Word about work under Christ is that you are doing the will of God from your heart knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance for you serve the Lord Jesus. This is talking about your job, about your workplace. Do you believe this truth? Your job is blessed, and your workplace is blessed. (Eph. 6:5-9, Col. 3:22-4:1) It is time to redeem your work. First apply the blood of Jesus to your workplace and your Job, say then to your job, or workplace is redeemed from the curse in Gen. 3:17-19. Then pray for the Lord to bless you work to be an act of Worship according to Col. 3:24. In addition, if you don't have job, or you have one right now, you are beginning to tap into God's wealth producing system, for it is God's will for us to work. Then, pray for the blessing of the Lord on your job. Ask the Lord for His creative ideals about how to do it better, receive God's strength, and compete your work in His Power. Then add to your job, prayer be a person of prayer about your workplace, etc. Not only pray for wealth, money, provision, and etc. pray even beyond that. Beside, become a faithful giving, learn and know the power of grace giving. Beyond this let your work become your ministry unto the Lord. Moreover, worship the Lord through your work. 36. Workplace Inheritance Do your work from your heart unto God. Work can be a form of worship unto God. Your workplace can be your ministry. When you go to work you are working for God. (Eph. 6:5-9; Col. 3:22-4:1) Now only should we get good pay for our jobs. We also will receive rewards from the Lord in this life and the next. The Word talks about inheritance that you will receive from the Lord for your services on the job. You will receive this inheritance in this life and the next one. There is a modern day inheritance that you can receive from the Lord from your work. We must understand the difference between inheritance and harvest; inheritance you receive by faith and grace, and harvest you reap by sowing. (Col. 3:24) Why do we work? You are to rejoice in your labors, and enjoy the good of your labors. The Word says the God keeps you busy with the joy of your heart. In addition, God makes the wicked working, gathering, and collecting that he may give it to you. But God gives you wisdom, knowledge, and joy. It is God who gives a person riches and wealth, and given that person the power to eat, and rejoice in his labor. Beside, above all we work for it is our ministry! (Eccl. 5:19-20, 3:9-15,2:26) Furthermore, we are to renew our minds about our jobs, occupations, and careers. It is His will for us have glorious work history and a hopeful work future. 37. Business Revival I am seeing a vision of a gathering of businesspersons. This is not in the four walls of the Church. I see no pastor their at all. What I do see is Jesus standing there with them in the center of this gathering. Then Jesus Himself looked into my very own eyes. "He said There will be a great revival coming to the Marketplace" This Revival will not be like any kind, but will be like the revival of 1857 that broke out in New York City during a prayer meeting. Lead not by a pastor but a businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier however, it will be much more better and very great then what happen in 1857". In addition, the Holy Spirit said you are living in days of many revivals and many moves of God. No longer will there be one or two. No longer will you have to wait for revival in between revivals, for revival will go from revival to revival. There will not be one moment without revival. There will not be one revival at a time but many. This is not only a time of revival, but also the beginning of the life of revival. Moreover, Jesus said to me that this business revival would be great. However, its boundaries have been set. This revival will not go out from the marketplace. But also it will bless the local churches and the Body of Christ with growth, wealth and anointing to be successful in all areas. From within this business revival will arise Marketplace Apostles which will be the leaders of the revival. These King Apostles will teach, lead and impart anointing and grace. Beside, there will be other apostles that will minister to the business revival. This is for reason of the divine connection between apostles and businessperson in Scriptures. Apart from that, from within the Marketplace Church will take its proper place in the Body of Christ and the World. From within this great move of God. Many territorial apostles will be birth within the Church and the marketplace Church. Therefore, we will see the City Church arise in many Cities with many Local Churches and Christian groups working together. Apart from that, I see many Marketplace Christians in great numbers setting up food panties, etc to help those in need. I see the birth of many Marketplace Networks and Ministries. In addition, I see many local churches having there own marketplace ministry. I see with the Church and the Body of Christ a new flow of financials and resources in great waves and in great rivers. Moreover, I see this business revival last for years, and I see many other kinds of business and marketplace moves and revivals that are ether birth out from this one or is birth and comes along. I see all these moves of supernatural business and Marketplace Rivers working and networking together more then any other thing in the church in history. I see as the Business revival comes to end it will enter into another revival in the marketplace, which shall be greater, then this one, which this one shall come. Furthermore, I ask the Lord when will this business revival come? He says it will come in your lifetime. This business revival is a kingdom revival! 38. Joseph Company Prophecy I will no longer allow the Nations and this world to do as it has been doing. I will no longer allow men to raise againt me without my judgment coming upon them. I am the King of Kings, and I shall rebuke, chasten, and scourge every nation in disobedience to me and the divine relationship with the Church. I will deal with those disobedience nations with my holy redemptive judgments that they may know my name and that I am their God and King. To those Nations who obey and submit to my Word and me and come into the divine relationship with the Church. I will visit them with my hand of mercy. In addition, I will also purify and purge them from evil. That they will be holy unto me. These Obedience Nations shall take the cause of protecting Israel and my church. I will anoint them to be keeper of order in the Earth. My Holy Redemptive Judgments is coming and my divine interventions of mercy are coming upon this world. I will teach the nations to fear the Lord. These are fearful days for mankind. These are days of redemption of the Nations. I will rise up and establish my Joseph Company around the World. They will take their proper place in the Earth and the Church. They will take on many tasks of compassion and charity around the World. They will link to power, money, and resources. I will give them the mantle of wisdom and I shall give them great influence. In addition, I will rise up a mighty and awesome marketplace army in the Earth. I will establish Marketplace Apostles throughout the Earth. I will establish Marketplace Prophets. I will Establish Marketplace Intercessors around the World. I will bridge the gap and build a bridge between the Church and the Marketplace. I will open the gates of resources, supplies and wealth to be a continue transference of wealth between the Church and the World. Moreover, I will rise up many of my people to enter into business. Many of my people will own their own businesses. I will anointed and rise up new kings of business and of the economy from within my body. I will anoint many of my people in my body to enter into business, media, government, and education. I will rise up among the nations of the world the modern day Cyrus kings and link them with my people to aid and help the work of the Lord. I am training and preparing my revivalists that I will give them to eat of trees of life; they shall eat of fruit and of the leaves and bring healing to the nations. I will heal the Nations through revival. The wind of the Holy Spirit shall come, the water of the Holy Spirit shall come, the fire of the Holy Spirit shall come, the oil of the Holy Spirit shall come, and the wine of the Holy Spirit shall come! These are the elements of revival, and I shall begin these to the nations and form a global revival of all these elements of the Holy Spirit. What is revival? The Glory of God among man! I will establish and build my Apostolic Church throughout the Body of Christ. I will establish Apostles and Prophets throughout my church. I will bring apostolic provision to my apostles; they shall not lack any good thing. I will bring the holy fire of reformation of all things to the whole church. The times of reformation has already begun. I will burn up Christendom and every group that is not of my word, will, order and nature and those that are will be put through the fire. I will bring order, government, unity and purely to my Body. Beside, I will work an oneness between my church and Israel, and they will both stand together in coming days. I will replace Christendom with the Kingdom Church, that the last day Church that shall be birth from the Apostolic Church. My Kingdom Church will prepare the way for my coming, the kingdom of God, and the kingdom age. Furthermore, I will teach my people, the Church to love me and to fear me. You will understand my love. You will understand my fear. You will fear me with a pure heart. You will love me with a pure heart. I will unite the intercession, the worship and the prophetic in my house and I shall be glorifying throughout my Church and the World. 39. Marketplace Movement One of the end time movements will be a move of God in the marketplace. The marketplace is business, government, education, and media. This move of God in the marketplace will be made up of four moves each move into the whole of the marketplace. One of these four moves of the marketplace movement will be in business. This will be a radical change, a business revolution. This is an acceptable time we live in. This is the day of salvation in the business world. God is going to use business has highways to reach the lost. God is going to cause you to inherit the desolate heritages. God has called us to go to the byways and highways, the marketplace to gathering anyone who hear the gospel. The Bible says in Isaiah 49:8-12 revels the highways shall be elevated. I believe these highways are the markets. In addition, them being elevated is taking about world trade. God is going to use world trade as a door open for his word. The land of Sinim is China. God's will is to open the markets between nations in order to build bridges for the gospel. God is going to use business as a key to reach China for his glory. Isaiah 49:8-12 is prophecy about a marketplace movement. God will use business in the end times and today to open the gates of the nations. 40. High Place Know the high places in the earth. Know how to pray for them. Learn how to deal with such high places. I am rising up my kings and setting them in the high places. I am rising up marketplace apostles and setting them in the high places. I am rising up my marketplace prophets and setting at the tables of the kings in high places. I am calling my marketplace intercessors to pray for the marketplace. I am calling my marketplace ministries to enter into the marketplace. I am calling my marketplace Christians into the marketplace to bring influence and changes. Such as time as this I have raise you up. I am building a bridge from the Church to the marketplace. This is a bridge of influence. This is a bridge of ministry. This is bridge of transference of wealth. This is a bridge of reconciliation. My intercessors I am putting a new burden upon you. A burden to pray for the marketplace. The marketplace is the heart of a city. The marketplace is business, government, education, and media. My river will flow in the marketplace. On one side of the river is the Church and other side of the river is the marketplace. And between the them is the river of movements of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, between them is a bridge that I am building for my people to crossover and for the marketplace to cross over to you. Besides, God give me a dream back in December of 2002. It was a dream of a high place called cloud city. This was a place where a counsel met that made decisions for those down on the Earth. At the head of this counsel was our Lord Jesus Christ. Moreover, I saw a seat that became vacant for one of those who were a counselor were cast down in order to makes room for another. Those who are chosen must first go through tests and these tests and grade is not like the way we do it down here. God tests the hearts of men. Moreover, in the month of May 2003 God give me vision of a cloud city. I believe God is making room for Joseph to raise and take his place. Last night I had another dream. In this dream I saw a big shopping mall. I went there to witness in this mall. Then I was called to a throne room. This was a throne room of evil. In this throne room I saw Satan on this throne and all around this room I saw many others dark powers and demons. In this dream I was an opposition to him by my witness in the mall. I was a rival, an opponent againt his kingdom in the marketplace. See we to are enter into the marketplace. The god of this world is mammon. Through the greed of money Satan rules. However, money is our servant, and through money we are a witness of Christ. We are to enter into the marketplace. Not all of us are ministries are within the Church. God uses common Christians in their workplace. Their pulpit is in the marketplace. We need to widen our vision and add the marketplace in to it. 41. Cloud City 1866 - Missouri Lutheran Synod founder C.F.W. Walther wrote in a letter: 'God carries on His work through men with whom it sometimes seems as if one would go to the right and the other to the left and the third one would hold back, and yet the work progresses There is a high place where chosen men and women make decisions for those who walk on the Earth. This high place is a city in the clouds. "Called Cloud City" This is a city of those who seat at the counsel of the Lord's sovereignty. The counselors are people of influence, power, wealth that God appointed on earth to make decisions for every walks of life. Most of those who are seated at this table are not even Christians, or godly people. Some wicked, some are perverted, and some are full of lust. However, Christ picks each one of them. Each one must pass certain tests. These tests are not like tests men give. These tests are to test the hearts of those. Once they pass each test then God chose among them one to seat on the council. In addition, Christ rules through these counselors, most of them not even know the Christ is working through them for his will and only his will. Even they don't know Christ or believe in him. God works through whom he wills to do his will. Once they are chosen a special anointing comes around their heart covering. Through this anointing he govern them. They don't have to notice, but God gets all the glory. They are given robes and crowns. God gives them each scepters. Some have one and some more then one. These are symbols of what kind power they have. Which areas they have power over on earth. The counselors are the kings of the earth. Some are politicians, some are tycoons, and some are businessmen. Moreover, they are people of great influence on earth. The table that they are seated at is the table of the Lord's sovereignty. Upon that table are fruits, drinks and food. They are symbols of the issues of man. The seats where the counselors are seated are not in any order of seat of position. Nevertheless, the seats are label each with the name of that counselor. Only the counselor can seat where his name label on the seat and not another. Apart from that, at the head of the table is the Most High; who is Jesus Christ our Lord. Within this city there are committees each counselor is in change of one or more. In addition, their sub-committees and even special committees which both are under the committees. Moreover, the committees are under the table of the Lord's sovereignty. His council is in a center council room in cloud city. I see among the council a seat that become vacant. One of counselors has been cast down in order to open a seat for another. God is making room for the Joseph to take his place when his time comes. The time is upon us. 42. Economical Hill I see a vision of a hill; upon this hill are many flags of nations. Each flag wants to be on top of the peak of this hill. This is a hill of debt. There is a war going on, it is a war of the national and international economy. This war is base upon debt and credit. In addition, it's power and control of the world economy. Moreover, the third world nations lay in the balance. Beside, there are key business leaders that are the ones that make the difference between the nations of the world and world economy. When it comes to economics these business leaders are more important then any political leader. We as Christians should pray for those key business leaders that they bring good and make wise decisions, however that they will not be rule by spirits of greed, lust and control. Apart from that, I see a company arise from the church, with a mind for business. However, their mind for business is revelation that God give them to be business smart. These new business force will be a leading role to all marketplace Christians entering into the business world. Moreover, these new business leaders are apostles in business, marketplace apostles. I see another vision, a hill arise from the marketplace. This hill will take momentum over the hill of debt. This will bring an economical shift in world economy. Moreover, there will be business revolution that change the way of economy, this will happen when marketplace Christians enter the marketplace. This new hill is name the hill of release. Furthermore, those upon the hill of debt will look for our help and release. They will seek our council and wisdom. They will come and seek us out. They will make room and give us place at their tables. This is all the work of God. |
