Believe in the Prophets and You Shall Prosper

"The Lord let none of his words fall to the ground." This was the testimony of the ministry of Samuel: whatever he spoke came to pass. When Saul tore the robe of Samuel, Samuel said, "The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent."

This is why God did not reverse the curse Noah pronounced on Canaan. Once words are spoken, the reality seeded in them will come to pass, and the only thing that can stop that reality is the blood of Jesus. Even Jesus said, "I will judge you for every idle word."

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.

Genesis 2:18–19 (NKJV)

These were nameless animals. Adam called; he named. He called a lion, and it became a lion. He was functioning at God's level.

Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Genesis 1:3–5 (NKJV)

Adam functioned as a prophet to creation, and now the second Adam, in the temple of God, will do the same and more. Jesus said, "Whatever you call in My name, I shall do it for you." This is the system of God's dominion, the technology of the righteous. Jesus came to show us how to live: "Man shall not live by bread alone." If you do not tame your tongue, you will lose. On earth man rules, and spirits traffic through the words of men. Poverty will not leave your life until you divorce it through the Word of God. Words govern in the system of God.

Here the mercy of God is revealed. He knows that most of His children are negative and ignorant. He knows that most of His children have strongholds that keep them from walking in His best for their lives, and He knows that if He left things in your hands, life would become miserable for you. So He puts you under governors and tutors, to train you and build your life. The governors can bring provision, preservation, prosperity and help to you, until you come to maturity of faith.

The Spirit must establish the link between you and the ministry gifts before the grace at work in their ministries functions in your life. Servants of God are God's instruments on earth. They are authorised to bless and build the lives of God's people, and the body of Christ needs commissioned and seasoned ministries to help God's people come into their inheritance. Jesus said that all things are possible to him who believes. If you believe, I can make you a millionaire, because I already have the spiritual authority to do so. The power is not in the title but in the credentials. If someone says, "I am a prophet of God," he should be able to prove it; because this ministry gift is spiritual and comes from Jesus Christ Himself, he should be able to route the possibilities of the Kingdom toward you. If you are going to unlock the potential of the Kingdom, you need to believe in the ministry gifts. This is how God is going to carry us through in the days ahead: you come into the house of God, the man of God pronounces blessings for the week, and everything you need for that week comes your way.

Jesus said to me two years ago, "There is enough grace in the ministry gifts to make every single member of the body of Christ super wealthy." Listen: if the servant of God can make you healthy, he can make you wealthy. Physical sickness is only a manifestation of something wrong in the spirit. If Jesus can heal your physical wounds, He can also heal the inner wounds and deal with whatever caused your physical problems. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." By a prophet the Lord preserved a generation; it was the prophet's ministry that kept their clothes from wearing out for forty years. A prophet was in alignment with God. The widow had a prophet in her company, and the flour and the oil did not run out until the end of the famine. We are not here to decorate the pulpit; we are fountains springing up into eternal life. The Lord said, "My Spirit is close to him who trembles at My word." The business of life is to obey God. If God says, "I have made you wealthy," that must be your confession.

Think about Adam: he called. From your chambers, you can call. The problem is that you do not know how to talk. Your language is not seasoned in the Spirit, and your tongue has not been trained by the Word. Once you understand this, your business will be learning to speak accurately, as God speaks. God is asking you today: can a nation be born in a day? Can you become a millionaire in a day? Can you live in divine health, with no germ or bacterium touching you? Can you live above the system of this world? That is what the Spirit of God is asking us.
