car manufacturer and he'd had to take early retirement because of physical problems. His disability check wasn't enough to get him to the end of the month and he wasn't well enough to work, so he not only needed healing, he needed a financial miracle. He went to one of Oral Roberts' healing meetings and at offering time, he was sitting there with $5 in his pocket. It was all he had to live on for the rest of the month (and it was a long while before the end of the month). But he heard Brother Roberts preach the importance of sowing seed into the kingdom of God, so he was listening in his heart to hear what e LORD wanted him to do. When e LORD told him to give his $5 he said, "OK, LORD Jesus. Here goes! is is all I have. But You told me to give it so that's what I'm doing." He received his healing, but that's not all. Sometime later, he was working around his house and he kept sensing a prompting to go up into the attic and get out the plans he'd designed a few years earlier for a locking hub that would work on a four-wheel drive truck. I want you to take those plans and show them to your former bosses, The LORD said. "But I've already done that and they literally laughed me out of the room," he argued. They won't laugh at you this time because I'm going with you. Sure enough, the engineers agreed to look at the man's plans again and this time they were astonished. "is is exactly what we've been looking for!" they said. e company bought the design and from then on, every time that company sold a four-wheel drive truck this man made money. You know what he did with that money? He became one of the top donors to ORU. at was God's plan all along. He never did see that man as a poor man because, as a born-again believer, he wasn't. Even when he only had $5 in his pocket, he was a Prosperity Agent for the kingdom of God. The same is true of you. You have been ca l led and empowered by The LORD Jesus to be a financial BLESSING to mankind. No matter what shape your bank account is in right now, you're not poor. You're a joint heir with Christ and an heir to the throne. Even if you're flat broke and don't have any seed to sow, you can look to Him and He'll provide it for you. en He'll show you where to plant it, and He'll multiply it and make it grow. So release your faith for the grace of giving and make yourself available to Him. Say, "Sir, I am Yours to command. I want You to make me a BLESSING to someone. Give me a need to meet and make it big, big, BIG! Let me feed the 20,000! Let me do what Brother Osborn said and find a preacher with a work that's too big for him to do, and let me get in there and help him do it." Don't hide under the altar bench somewhere hoping God doesn't call on you because you've got too many bills to pay. Get your bills off your mind. Stop focusing on yourself and start focusing on others. Instead of saying, "I can't afford to give," be like I was when I joined the football team for the very first time back in grade school: I was determined to play! During the first game of the season the coach tried to make me sit down on the bench, but I couldn't. Every few minutes I'd jump up and holler, "Put me in there, Coach! I can do this!" He'd tell me to sit down, but when I tried it was like my britches had springs in them. Every time I sat down I'd jump back up again. e more you see in God's WORD who you really are and what you're called to be, the more you'll have that kind of eagerness to give and win souls for Jesus. You'll get up every morning and say to The LORD, "Show me someone I can BLESS. Let me in the game, Coach! I can do this!" You'll live every day as a Prosperity Agent for the kingdom of God. m ay ' 1 4 : B V O V : 3 1 "We are preparing for the lArgest, most unusual gathering of souls into the kingdom of god in the history of mankind, and we are preparing the message that will explode throughout this earth and cause men to come to the foot of that Cross and come to the glory of His resurrection and walk in the kingdom of God, kings and priests along with their King and their Priest," thus saith The LOrd. Prophecy delivered by Kenneth Copeland on Feb. 5, during taping of the April 15 edition of the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast. to me is because God keeps His WORD, and it says: "[God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness.... Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and...bring forth thanksgiving to God" (2 Corinthians 9:10-11, The Amplified Bible). "But I just can't see how God could do that kind of thing for me," you might say, "especially the way the economy is right now." at's because you're still looking at things according to this Babylonian world system. Ever yone in that system, no matter how much money they have, thinks in terms of shortage and lack. Even the rich people in the world live in perpetual fear of losing their money because shortage is continually working on their minds. As a believer, you don't have to think like that. You've been set free from the shortage mentality. You can dig into The WORD and find out what it says about God's plan to prosper you. You can stop being conformed to this world and "be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). e more you do that, the more you'll quit thinking like an unbeliever who's bound to this world's economy and start seeing yourself the way God sees you. One of the Biggest Mistakes You Can Make Exactly how does God see you? The same way Jesus saw His disciples when He was on earth. Remember what He said to them when He wanted to feed the hungry multitudes in the wilderness? He said, "You give them something to eat." Jesus didn't go looking for someone wealthy enough to buy food for thousands of people. He didn't hunt up a rich farmer who'd just reaped a record-breaking harvest. He called on His disciples because they were His Prosperity Agents. Li ke ma ny Ch r ist ia ns today, however, they thought they didn't qualify. "We have here only five loaves and two fish," they protested (Matthew 14:17, New King James Version). Obviously that wasn't enough to even begin to meet the need. But Jesus didn't care. He knew His Father would take that little dab of food and multiply it, until the multitudes were too full to eat another bite and there was plenty left over. That's why He said, "Bring them to me." One of the biggest mistakes you can make when God calls you to do something is to look at your own resources to see if you're qualified for the assignment. God qualified you the minute He called you! When He says to you, Give this offering, or Meet this need, that means He is ready to supply you with more than enough to do it. Your responsibility is simply to bring what you have to Him. en He will multiply it and do through you and for you exceeding abundantly above what you can ask or think. I know one man who discovered this many years ago at a time in his life when he seemingly had no financial ability to BLESS anyone. He was a former employee of a major What is it?
