15 NOW YE PHILIPPIANS KNOW ALSO,
THAT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE
GOSPEL, WHEN I DEPARTED FROM

BUT I DO SEEK THE PROFIT WHICH
INCREASES TO YOUR [HEAVENLY]
ACCOUNT [THE BLESSING WHICH IS
ACCUMULATING FOR YOU].

morning, while I was standing in my
pajamas, praising and confessing
before Him for $1 million.
Within the next few days, we had the
$1 million over our regular income. In
fact, it came in during the month of
December. We ended the year in the
black, and we've been on the increase
ever since. 2017 is on its way to
becoming the best year we have had
since 2005, and that was the best year

whosoever in John 3:16 and Mark
11:23.

Jesus didn't say we have to come to
heaven to enjoy our heavenly account.

NECESSITY.
17 NOT BECAUSE I DESIRE A GIFT: BUT I
DESIRE FRUIT THAT MAY ABOUND TO
YOUR ACCOUNT.
