"The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness.” Matthew 6: 22-23 (amplified)
I recently came back from a 2-1/2 week trip to China, where I taught Kingdom of God principles in Underground Church seminaries and pastor seminars in various cities nationwide. During the trip I gained a great revelation about these End-times that I want to share with you:  Specifically, when I was ready to teach at an Underground Pastors Kingdom Seminar – a seminar where I taught 9 hours the first day (yes, the Chinese Underground Church is very spiritually hungry) - the Word of the Lord spoke to me saying: It's a time of 'acceleration': God's plans are going to unfold faster in your life, and your life's race is geared up towards and focused upon the finish line...It is a time of acceleration of all things for those who come up to a spiritually higher level – specifically to a new Kingdom level of life and sight…The key is spiritually 'seeing it' before it unfolds. So break loose of this carnal world, fly high and SEE...” I taught 4 hours by the Spirit of God, without a break in the morning – without any notes; and what was equally unusual, I was operating on a higher level of Faith, and was seeing things more spiritual than I ever had before; it was truly an awesome time that has truly impacted my life. I believe this was a breakthrough moment in my life and ministry.
 
But I want you to reflect upon what the Spirit of God said – “it’s a time of acceleration”. I believe that we are in the last of the Last Days, and that God is going to do a quick work. But we need to be in our proper spiritual position and place that is above this world and its carnality – seated with Jesus in Heavenly Places. Why? Because Satan is the God of this world, and if you won’t find your proper place and position as a Citizen of the Kingdom of God, you will be positioned under Satan and the Kingdom of Darkness – which means they will be able to hinder God’s divine plan for your life. You need to come up higher, where your vision (the way you see through eyes of faith) is going to show you that all things are truly possible with God. You also will be able to overcome the obstacles and ‘mountains in your life” because you will be able to easily go over those obstacles and mountains, rather than having to go through them – therefore your positioning as a Citizen of the Kingdom of God is the key to your victory. In these Last Days, what you see and how you see circumstances will determine the level of the miraculous and experiencing a divine acceleration of all things in your life. As a result, living as a powerful Kingdom Witness by walking in Days of Heaven upon the Earth. So the question are: Are you fixated on the problem or the goal? Do you spiritually SEE the answer? (If you see it, you will have it), Do you SEE God's faithfulness? Do you SEE the angelic host working in the supernatural on your behalf, defeating the Kingdom of Darkness and bringing God's best to you? We all face obstacles - mountains in our life. But if we will see ourselves seated in heavenly places with Christ, if we will spiritually take our proper place and position above this world (which means above Satan and the Kingdom of Darkness), then we can rise above those mountains and pass over to God's answer without stress or worry....If you keep your focus seeing the answer, it will draw you by the hand of God to the answer (aligning all things in your life to bring you to that answer - in an accelerated way). The miraculous 'acceleration of all things' in these Last Days is determined by how you SEE.

2 Corinthians 13:3-6 - "I will give you all the proof you want that Christ speaks through me. Christ is not weak when he deals with you; he is powerful among you. Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God. We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have God's power. Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of apostolic authority."

As we look at today’s Church around the world, we see many preachers who have the form of godliness but deny the power of God. They may have nice sermons that are full of 'promising a lot of stuff' or being funny that entertain the people, but they do not have the power of God that confirms their words; they do not speak with Kingdom authoritative words backed by heaven...As a result, the world looks at the Church as weak and unimportant. The world cares little for the words and messages from supposed representatives of Jesus and the Kingdom of God...It's time for the true Church of Jesus Christ and its spiritual leadership to rise up in these Last Days. The Apostle Paul talking to the Corinthian Church gave a bold declaration when he stated, “I will give you all the proof you want that Christ speaks through me.” And in these Last Days...so will I: With apostolic authority!...

Paul stated, "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith." How about you? Have you passed the test of genuine faith? I'm not talking about faith to believe for 'stuff', but to impact and transform the world- Is it evident to the world that Jesus Christ is with you? Does Jesus work with you and back up you words with Kingdom power and impact? Or are your words spiritually empty and void  of Kingdom miracle confirmation? That is the true measurement of the Church of Jesus Christ and its spiritual leadership in today's world!

Matthew 19:27 - "Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?”

When I was recently attending a minister's conference in Texarakana, Texas, a Brother came up to me who I hadn't seen in years and asked if I still lived in Asia. When I told him that we moved back to the U.S., and that it was a divine act when my wife, Christina received a phone call out of no where from the CEO of a major global corporation, asking her to become the Vice President of Public Relations for their North America Telecommunications Division, and that God had abundantly and overflowingly financially blessed us and we bought a house, etc....He responded sarcastically (hiding it with a defensive chuckle) - "Was it God blessing you or your wife?" I turned, looked him straight in the face and said, "Has an angel ever showed up to your front door and given you a bag of money?" He didn't know how to respond...I followed up, "Through your faithfulness, God uses natural events to bring blessing to you - your failure to understand that is the reason why you are in need...natural events and opportunities have been passing you by, waiting for that angel coming to your front door."

I was speaking prophetically as I was told later, that this fellow and his wife was attending the conference, hoping to get some funding for their international projects...But his spiritually carnal comment says it all to me: Such a mindset is void of spiritual understanding and ignorance of the facts: My wife and I have given up all on many occasions - a willingness to put our faith on the line when the 'going was good'; that is the reason why we are abundantly blessed: Indeed, last year after we moved back to the U.S., and God overwhelmed us financially, my spiritual father, who has been intimately spiritually involved in all our personal and ministerial decisions for 20 years said, "Many people proclaim to have Faith (especially within our Word of Faith Camp), but you and Christina actually live and prove it; you have placed your total trust in God..that is why you are blessed."...And we have:

I gave up a job as an investment banker on Wall Street to go into the ministry (and since I was asked by God in January 1996, whether I trust Him to financially take care of us if I never took a ministry salary because he needed a Kingdom Witness to prove His true prosperity, I said "Yes" - and I NEVER have taken a salary in 20 years of ministry); and at the same time Christina was the premier Wall Street correspondent for Reuters News, regularly appearing on PBS TV "Nightly Business Report"...and when in 2011, after Satan diabolically threw a major monkey wrench into Christina's career with Reuters, where she didn't get the big promotion as the Asia Editor (the 'big boss' of the entire Asia Region which everyone assumed was hers) with a 100% expat package in Hong Kong (including housing in the most expensive city in the world and lots of big-time senior managerial perks) because a country bureau chief who worked for her, hated Christians and maliciously lied, challenging her (and my) integrity (The woman said, I took offering money from an Indonesian Christian billionaire - who I NEVER met - and in exchange, Christina gave him favorable news coverage...she was totally cleared of the unfounded slanderous charges, but it was too late for the promotion) - even though she became the Big Boss of South Asia with 300 journalists working for her in a number of countries (including Pakistan and Afghanistan), and with a full expat package based in Bangalore, India - she quit her 25 year career with Reuters because the Lord called us to go to Hong Kong so I could go start an apostolic ministry in China and Reuters wouldn't send her (that my friends, is faithfulness and obedience to God) - She instead, took a mid-level managerial job with a small reputable public relations company in Hong Kong for 35% LESS salary, minimal bonus and NO expat package, a job where she was on financial 'local terms': We gave up financially ALL to follow God's plan - willing to empty our bank accounts just to make rent which was over US$8,500+/month plus other major expenses including paying for our own medical; and on more than a few times Christina came home crying because she hated her job because she was treated as a "glorified go-fer" and a menial nobody sitting at a desk (my wife in her previous South Asia 'Big Boss' position with Reuters had an office with three assistants, and a car and driver with her title; along with all the money, housing allowances and perks).....But through her faithfulness, I received miraculous open apostolic doors for ministry into China WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF MOVING to Hong Kong...Apostlic ministry doors that I am using in a major apostolic Kingdom ministry trip in September...

So when we were living in Hong Kong and Christina 'suddenly' received a phone call in April 2014 at 10pm on a Thursday night from the CEO of this global corporation, offering her a major big-time promotion - a bigger job than her 'big bosses' with the public relations company she was working with in Hong Kong (with multiple times her salary, plus a major bonus scheme; plus FULL international moving package including a free corporate service apartment for 3 months) - The Lord spoke clearly: "This promotion is for your faithfulness, I have not forgotten you and your obedience!"...We gave up all to follow Jesus, and we now are receiving one hundred-fold NOW in this life:

To that Brother in Texarkana, and perhaps to some of you - you will never experience that one hundred-fold blessing because you are sitting home waiting for that angel with a bag of money; and (perhaps due to envy and jealousy) you discount the Godly Blessings in others' lives who have proven out God's Word, passing it off as worldly 'coincidence' (which sadly, dishonors God): That is okay with me because it's between you and God; it doesn't affect our Divine Blessings - you are only hurting yourself...But for those who truly walk by faith and put their total trust in God - willing to give up ALL to follow Jesus (even when it costs you all - and all you have), you will find God moving upon people, events and circumstances to give you all - God will command all of Heaven's power and influence to make transformational and miraculous changes in your life - and use every day events and circumstances to do it)...Understand - You may discount it as being 'in the natural', but if you do, you will cut-off God's blessings...Because the question remains- Do you have REAL FAITH, or are you (as my spiritual father said that day about the majority of the Church World) just 'playing Church' and making empty faith professions, not willing to place ALL you and your family have on the line for your Faith and obedience to God, Jesus and the Kingdom of God ??! (To those who have ears to hear...)
