Your Inheritance...Don't Miss It!
You have an inheritance that you probably have not laid
claim to. It was given to you by the Patriarch Abraham:
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess
the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
to give unto them and to their seed after them.
(Deut. 1:8)
The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times
so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!
(Deut. 1:11)
You may say, "That was for the Jews, the seed of Abraham."
True, the Jews are the seed. They are not necessarily the same. This can
be seen in Galatians:
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise.
(Gal. 3:29)
Every born-again believer is the seed of Abraham. The
Amplified Bible reads this way:
And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham's
Seed], then you are Abraham's offspring and [spiritual] heirs according
to promise.
(Gal. 3:29)
You see, the promises to Abraham are yours and mine. We
are the rightful heirs of Deuteronomy 1:8 and 11.
We are to possess the land and we are to increase a thousand
times more! One thousand times more! We should have:
• One thousand times more favor
• One thousand times more wisdom
• One thousand times more fruitfulness
• One thousand times more than what we have
We should be:
• One thousand times more - healthier
• One thousand times more - wealthier
• One thousand times more - happier than others
• One thousand times more - wealthier
Our heritage is to have one thousand times more. What
good thing would God withhold from his children? Will He not give us every
good thing? Everything in the earth belongs to Him and we are the rightful
heirs (Ps. 24:1; 1 Cor. 10:26).
God wants to bless you a thousand times more than He has.
Here is how:
-
He shall cause you to possess the land. You are meant to
own this earth.
-
He shall cause you to be the head and not the tail, the lender
and not the borrower. (You must believe it before it will ever happen.)
-
He will see that no weapon formed against you will prosper
(Isa. 54:17) "... this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord."
-
He is sending healing back "big time!" Creative miracles
are on the increase.
-
He will cause you to renew your strength like the eagles.
God does not want you decrepit when you are old. You don't have to be sick
to get to heaven.
-
You are God's property. Tell the devil to take his hands
off. God will rebuke the devourer.
-
Prove the Lord with tithes and offerings. He will pour blessings
(ideas, concepts and insights) out of the windows of heaven (Mal. 3:7-12).
-
God has promised that He will never leave you nor forsake
you." Never, never, never! (Heb. 13:5)
-
Call the things that be not as though they were (Rom. 4:17)
and He will see that you have them.
The Word of Life . . .
That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life,
which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have
seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with
us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus
Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full (1
John 1:1-4).
We may not have seen with our natural eyes, but we have
seen with our spiritual eyes, the Lord of Glory. We have looked upon Him
in the text of His eternal Word. Our hands have handled it’s pages and
so we have handled the Word of Life as surely as if He were here in His
physical body.
In our hearts the life was manifested, and we have experienced
His touch and transforming power. We bear witness to the fact that Jesus
lives, and that His resurrection carried us to the right hand of the Father
and seated us in heavenly places with Him.
This reality of His manifest presence we have seen and
heard and now do declare to a doubting world so that they might come and
have fellowship with us. This fellowship is not only with us, but with
the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
His Word is alive and powerful, working within, for and
through us. His life pushes out the darkness of sin and all of it’s debilitating
attributes. We are no longer children of darkness but have been translated
into children of His marvelous light. Sin no longer holds dominion over
us and we walk in the perfect liberty of the Spirit of Life.
The Life of The Word . . .
We are children born of the incorruptible seed of the
Spirit. We are those “whom He did foreknow,” and that He “did predestinate
to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn
among many brethren” (Romans 8:29).
In us is Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing. The
same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now is resident within us
(Romans 8:11). We have the Life of the Word working in, for, and through
us so that we can know the “immeasurable and unlimited, and surpassing
greatness of His power,” and be a testimony to the demonstrated working
of His mighty strength (Ephesians 1:19 Amp).
The Word of God has not been given to be added to our
lives as an attachment or addendum. We are not to take what we want and
leave the rest. We are to become the living, walking, breathing, speaking,
Word so that we become living epistles read of all men (2 Corinthians 3:2).
The Life of the Word is to be seen in our nature, character, actions and
words. We are to speak “as the oracles of God.” We are to minister in “the
ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1
Peter 4:11).
If we have “seen” Him, then we “know him, and the power
of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable
unto his death (Philippians 3:10), so that we might be able to say, “I
am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth
in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
Herein we live, and demonstrate the Life of the Word.
Y2K - The New Year..
Y2K (The Year Two-thousand) will be the year of Yes To
The King! The current wave of revival will rise, but not crest. This coming
year will see the greatest harvest of souls ever known by man. There wil
lbe a great spiritual awakening, a spiritual earth quake, that will bring
on the Tsunami of God. It will not destroy as did the flood of Noah but
will bring life; for it is written:
... So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the
west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come
in, like a flood the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against
him. Isaiah 59:19
Y2K is your Year To Know Him! Revelation will also break
like never before. Though you have experienced it in the past, the glory
of this house will far out shadow the former. This coming year will be
noted for the hunger of the people and their eagerness to hear the Word
of the Lord.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto
us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:3
Y2K is the year of Yielding to Knowledge!
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up
thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and
searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the
fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:3-6
The New Millennium ..
MILLENNIUM = A span of 1000 years.
Though our Gentile calendar is anything but Biblically
accurate, we can still readily see that we are living in the last sliver
of time; the last of the last days. We are in the most powerful, productive
times imaginable. You and I are living in what could very well be the last
great harvest of the world.
MILLENNIUM = A time of peace and happiness in the distant
future.
There is a time coming when Jesus will rule and reign
for a Thousand Years (Millennial Reign of Christ). There is also a time
of "peace and happiness" that is not so distant, and not to be so eagerly
awaited by the sons of man.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my
people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Jeremiah8:11
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thes. 5:2-3
Great blessing is coming to the Church so that she will have
all necessary provision and comeliness to reach those whom destruction
is swiftly overtaking. Her stature will be such that she will be like a
city set upon a hill. The light of her will attract all who pass her way.
Those who go out from her will have the bearing of Kings and Princes and
will win many to the Person
and the cause of Christ. |

What are you thinking?
What you are thinking right now is paving the road to
your future. Your thoughts will carry
you to an expected end. Thoughts will dictate how you
feel and what you speak. Your thoughts are who you are.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh
in his heart, so is he: ...
Satan has a plan for your life. Does that surprise you?
Do you think that God is the only one
who has a plan for your life? Quite the contrary. Fear
and faith are given authority in our thought life. If we allow what we
think to stray from the written Word of God (the Bible), if we allow imagination
to rule our thought life, we will find ourselves fulfilling satan’s purpose
rather than the plan and purpose of the Living God. Satan will use our
thoughts to steal what God has given and has in store for us, to kill every
God given hope and dream, and to destroy the love we have for the Lord
and our ability to accept the love He has for us.
John 10:10 The thief cometh
not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Jesus, on the other hand, has come to freely offer life,
and life more abundantly. He has destroyed the works of the devil and made
it possible for us to receive the plan of God for our
lives, to give life to every God given hope and dream,
and to reveal and restore the love we have for the Father and our ability
to accept the love He has for us.
1 John 3:8 ... for this purpose the
Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Thoughts are like the wind ...
Thoughts are like the wind that fills the sail and moves
a ship toward its destination. A concept or idea is like the ships rudder
that steers the course. Where we are right now is the result of the sum
total of our thought life. Oh, there have been other factors involved,
but the way we think determines how those factors affect the course of
our lives.
We can look at our situation, the circumstances
surrounding our state of affairs and become
overwhelmed by what we see and feel. Our thoughts can
begin to tell us that we are beaten and should give up the fight.
Or, we can look at the Word of God concerning our situation,
comparing what we see with what He sees, and take heart, fight harder,
having done all stand, and receive the victory won at Calvary’s Cross
on our behalf. We can align our thoughts with what the Word of God says
and
begin to act upon it.
2 Cor. 10:5 Casting down
imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge
of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
1 Tim. 6:12 Fight the
good fight of faith, ... whereunto thou art also called ...
2 Tim. 4:7 I have fought
a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Ephes. 6:13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Whats In
A Name?
Name = a language unit by which
a person or thing is known. In both the Hebrew and Greek languages, name
denotes honor, authority or character. In other words, a name expresses
who the person is or what the nature of the thing is that is named.
Wellspring Ministries - Churches
& Missions, Inc. expresses the nature and/or character of this ministry.
The name Wellspring was chosen to reflect the Divine Source of our calling.
Jesus, The Son, and Christ of God. Jesus is the Wellspring (inexhaustible
Source) of Life. It is from Him that the waters of life flow eternally.
His ministry flows through the people
belonging to, affiliated, associated or working with the members of this
organization in various ministries and churches both in the United States
and abroad. Missions is at the heart of the ministry calling.
Ministries include, but are not
limited to, non- church works and outreaches such as Food Banks, Bible
Institutes and/or Colleges, Victorious Christian Living Discipleship Centers,
Salvation Army, Prison, Hospital, Convalescent Home outreach and Street
Evangelism. Home groups, Men's groups, Women's groups are also included.
The word Churches expresses our
dedication to go beyond the establishment and nurture of Wellspring
Church to the planting, nurture and encouragement of churches wherever
the Lord leads. An example of this type of relationship would be that which
exists with River of Life - Word Ministry, pastored by Sullivan R. Causey
Sr. in Las Vegas, or with Living Way Fellowship pastored by Jovie Galaraga
in the Philippines.
Church of All Nations
Wellspring has, since its inception,been
a Missions Church. We have tirelessly trained and encouraged missionaries
and missionary giving. Our focus has always been Las Vegas and the World.
Wellspring Church is just not Wellspring without the Nations.
We are a church body of covenant
believers who
consist of people from many different
backgrounds, races and nationalities. We are knit with people, churches
and ministry organizations all over the world. Our involvement with fellow
believers in the Nations of the world is increasing at an excitingly dizzying
rate.
We have prayed to the Lord to give
us the Nations for our inheritance and He is answering in great abundance
because it is a prayer from His heart:
Psalm 2:8 Ask
of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
We love you! Our dedication to you
and to the vision of God is increasing daily. Our prayer is that Wellspring
Church of All Nations will quickly move into her full inheritance in Christ
Jesus and that her name will bring glory to the King of Kings and joy to
His people.
Write the Vision . . .
The Amplified Bible renders Habakkuk 2:1-3 in the
following manner:
[OH, I know, I have been rash to talk out plainly this
way to God!] I will [in my thinking] stand upon my post of observation
and station myself on the tower or fortress, and will watch to see what
He will say within me and what answer I will make [as His mouthpiece] to
the perplexities of my complaint against Him. And the Lord answered me
and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that
everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he
hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens
to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it
tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not
be behindhand on its appointed day.
I wonder if you are really willing to be honest
enough to admit that you have, at one time or another, drafted a complaint
against the Lord?
Perhaps you never have, but, much to my chagrin,
I have found myself in a situation or two that seemed totally hopeless,
and where I’ve felt completely helpless to the point that I have rashly
verbalized my perplexities to the Lord.
Thank God, He is merciful and longsuffering. The important
thing to Him, beloved, is that we wait to see what He will say and that
we are willing to agree with His perspective. This means that we will allow
ourselves to be chastised, corrected and shown to be wrong, in order to
be restored to a position of faith.
Satan is always attempting to discredit the Word
of God. He wants you to get so discouraged that you will give up on the
Word of God, give up on God, just plain give up. This is what 1 Peter 1:7
calls “the trial of your faith.”
Hide it in your Heart . . .
The good news is that, as you turn to the Lord,
the Righteous Judge, “though it be tried with fire,” your faith will “be
found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”
You will notice that when Habakkuk took to his
watch, he was answered by the Lord to write the vision plainly so that
he, and everyone else, could easily, and quickly, read it. He was then
encouraged to consider that the vision had it’s appointed time of fulfillment
and that it would never, never, never, “deceive or disappoint.” The Prophet
was told to earnestly wait for it, because it would surely come.
When you take your perplexities to the Lord you
will receive encouragement and promise that will cause your faith to rise
above the circumstance in which you find yourself.
Also, when you are given a vision, a dream, a promise
of God; write it down and review it until you have memorized it. This will
keep you from falling into the trap of despair that leads to questioning
the Lord at all.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
against thee (Psalm 119:11 KJV).
Man is expected to live by faith and in his faithfulness
(Habakkuk 2:4), for it is impossible to please God without faith, “for
he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith answers the questions posed by circumstance,
situation, satan, and self, for faith operates by love, and God is Love.
“. . . God is love . . .”“faith which worketh by love” (1 John 4:16;
Galatians 5:6 KJV).
Even when you stand on your watch, having voiced
the perplexities of your complaint to God, Love that never fails will answer
and faith will arise out of the ashes of hopelessness and helplessness
to conquer every obstacle and dispel every doubt.
