Abundant Blessings Ministry
God’s Spirit is pouring out His power upon followers of Jesus from all
nations, all denominations and all affiliations.  We are not being
refreshed, restored and renewed so we can reach some spiritual high,
but because God is preparing us for this time of reaping the harvest
of souls, transforming cities and governmental structures, releasing
power and wealth into the hands of the righteous and revealing the
Father in a way never before seen in the earth.  It’s time to move in
His resurrection power.

God is bringing favor upon the His Church, empowering us to enter
into the fullness of His anointing and power.  Many of us believe a
power shift is taking place in the heavenly realms which affects the
earthly realm.  Things are being set in motion for the kingdoms of this
world to become the kingdoms of our Lord and of Christ.  

Jesus declared the power His Church will have.
Matthew 16:18  
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.

What is the Church of Jesus Christ to be and stand for?  In Jane
Hamon’s book “The Cyrus Decree”
(pages 10-11), she eloquently told us:

  • This Church will be a mighty Church, knowing how to do battle in
    order to press through every spiritual hindrance, in the earth
    realm or heavenly realm.

  • This Church will be a soul-winning Church, successfully reaping
    the harvest and liberating souls for the Kingdom of God.

  • This Church will be a powerful Church, healing the sick, raising
    the dead and casting out devils.

  • This Church will be a compassionate Church, carrying the Good
    News of the gospel of the Kingdom, full of the love of Jesus for a
    hurting, dying world.

  • This Church will be a wise Church, understanding God’s divine
    plans and strategies for building His kingdom.

  • This Church will be a healthy Church, properly relating to the
    Fatherhood of God as well as to the “fathers and mothers” of
    faith He has connected us with.

  • This Church will be a wealthy Church, uncovering and
    transferring the secret wealth that has been hidden deep within
    the world system to finance global harvest.

Our purpose here on earth is to glorify God and to show Him to
others.  (The Great Commandment and the Great Commission.)  We
have been called to establish God’s Kingdom rule, with God’s
Kingdom principles not only in our churches but in the world systems.  
We are to be walking in His revelation knowledge and wisdom,
drenched in His anointing, empowered through God’s holiness to rise
up to release the captives and take Kingdom dominion.  We are to do
it now, not sometime in the by and by.

We have the
spiritual weapons – prayer, praise and declaration to go
forth in spiritual warfare to liberate the captives, deliver and heal.  We
need to walk in boldness.  It is an attribute of a Holy Spirit filled life.  
Are we willing and eager to face danger or adventure with a sense of
confidence and fearlessness?   Confidence means with faith. This is
not being arrogant which is feeling or showing self-importance or
contempt or disregard of others; haughty; proud.

We must be
walking in courage which is the ability to face fear and
overcome it.  If we are willing to place our hand in God’s mighty hand,
He will anoint us to do battle.  So we must trust in Him.  He gives us
the empowerment to affect change.  

We must each
conquer our own individual areas of fear: fear of man,
failure, success, responsibility, rejection, being taken advantage of,
loss of security, devil, death, etc.

Fear comes not from God.  It is a ploy from satan’s camp to stop us
from going forward.  Fear comes from reliving the past or dreading
and worrying about the future.  

Isaiah 41:10   
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am
thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.

II Timothy 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.

Our success comes from the Lord.  By following His laws and
principles we win.  He has established and placed men and women
right now throughout the earth to train, equip and raise up His mighty
army.  He called these people before the earth was formed to hold
these ministry gifts and are a gifting to the Church.

So why are we not seeing and experiencing the true Church of Jesus
here on earth?  It starts in the local bodies and God is calling for the
changes there first to empower us to do what He has called each of us
to do.  Ephesians 4:11-13 tells us of some men and women God has
called before the world was formed to be the leaders to direct the
Church in accomplishing His purpose.  It is time for the Body to
recognize the true and real reason for these “fathers and mothers”-
(stop taking titles for recognition; put aside the egos and self-desires;
overcome and defeat the spirit of offense) -  to raise up high powered,
low maintenance warriors for God’s Army.  Until the Church repents
and turns back to God, wanting to live and establish His Kingdom on
earth now, we will be a stumbling block to the world.

If the local body isn’t functioning as listed above, the leadership
needs to seek God, call upon those 5-fold called leaders to teach and
lead and follow Jesus’ example here on earth.  In 1 Corinthians 12:28
Paul lists the true five-fold ministry gifts in order – the apostle is to go
in and start the church, develop leaders; the prophet is to tell them
what they are doing; the teacher is to explain everything to them.  Our
goal has been to teach the true Word and lead and train others to
bring forth the above listed attributes of the Church.

As spiritual fathers and mothers take their places and begin to equip
the saints for the work of the ministry, the Church will rise out of her
stupor and come alive to establish God’s Kingdom principles and
power in the earth.
