God has recently been saying to me that "For those who have entered my rest, 2002 will produce my blessing in many arenas." The rest of God will, in fact, introduce a flow from God - that is the Kingdom's Way. The World's System, on the other hand, is about striving and toil to obtain; "By the sweat of your brow."

There is a great transfer of wealth coming to those in the Body of Christ who are dead to money. I sense that we are at the tail end of an initial work (the prosperity message) that has obviously been more flesh than Spirit. As with Abraham's wife Sara, who had God's direction but lacked His timing or specific course, the first attempt at prosperity (the present prosperity message) produced many Ishmaels, appealing to greed, self-righteousness, and doctrines of man directing God. Its root is impatience and lust - "Its my time to get my stuff from my God!"

What we will soon see is a true Isaac in the form of a true prosperity message that speaks of a great wealth transfer which ONLY involves true dead men; men who have nothing but God's purpose in their heart. Some may be disappointed to hear that God will not allow great riches (mammon) to destroy man in order that man finance great works for God. Unlike Ishmael, God created Isaac for God's purposes. Unlike Ishmael, God does not have to fight through flesh in dealing with Isaac. God's purpose with God's men relative to finances is soon to be evident in the earth, but these purposes will only work in men who have been tested by the fires of affliction, men whose trust for God is matched by God's trust for them.

The time for pleading and begging is over. God pays for what He orders. His resources are in place, and those with a sense of destiny and purpose will find the necessary resources, spiritual and natural, to perform His will.

How great it will be to step into the Jordan to cross without a boat or bridge, and see the river part. Watch as God continues to raise up a remnant of people who will exercise complete control over mammon, who will neither be swayed to the left or right, up or down, but will flow with His spirit in financial affairs. Think it not a strange thing that even now God is requiring us to trust him completely in the area of money. True trust for him requires a revelation of His rest, the place where we have ceased from our own works, where God is truly our provider.

The time for trickery, manipulation, hype and deception is over. When we give in an effort to move the hand of God, we have entered the arena of self-righteousness, a product of the world's system. The world's system will no longer work for the "called of God." In the days to come much will be exposed about the real motive relative to the present day prosperity message. Many will leave these ranks wounded and disappointed, however, even now God is raising tried, tested, and true men of God who know that Godliness with contentment is great gain, who know that to chase money is to leave the blessing of God, who know that the word without the spirit is law, and who know that God's provision comes through relationship and not formula.

True and continued obedience produces destiny and those in their destiny are purpose minded, not resource minded, because God pays for what He orders.
