Why Transfer the Wealth? 92
Thinking About Unity 4
End Time Transfer of Wealth
Many leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement
have estimated the cost of reaching billions of people for Christ and
bringing in the Kingdom of God on earth so that Jesus will be able to
return to Earth to rule the nations will be in the trillions of dollars.
They believe God will pay for the massive cost of the worldwide
Seven Mountain Mandate with what they call the “End Time Transfer
of Wealth.”
Here is some of what we saw about the “transfer” of wealth earlier in
this series –
“Social transformation is standing on two pillars: the church in the
workplace and the transfer of wealth. Without both of them, we
will not see our cities transformed. The pillar of the church in the
workplace arises from the foundation of the biblical government of
the church, and the pillar of the transfer of wealth arises from the
foundation of breaking the spirit of poverty.” Peter Wagner, The
Church in the Workplace: How God’s People Can Transform
Society (Regal, 2006)
Thinking About Unity 5 Another document, the “Writ of Assistance,” includes a demand for a
transfer of wealth from the “treasures of darkness and the hidden
wealth of secret places.”
“WRIT OF ASSISTANCE
This matter comes before this Court seeking enforcement of its
prior decisions in favor of The People of God, the Plaintiffs.
The Plaintiffs seek to employ a Writ ancient in its application and
consistent in its purpose. In its origins, a Writ to assist the
subjects of the King in fulfilling their duties to the King, and in
more recent time “a mandatory injunction; (the) effect of which is
to bring about a change in the possession of realty – it dispossess
the occupant and gives possession to one adjudged entitled to it
by the court”. (63 P2d 756,759). The Writ of Assistance is a
process issued by a Court of equity to transfer the possession of
lands, title or possession to which the Court has previously
adjudicated, as a means of enforcing its decree. (110 P2d
554,556)
Accordingly, The Court Finds:
1. The People of God have sought and obtained from the Court
a Decree of Divorce wherein the Plaintiff was found to be
entitled to have sole right, claim, and interest, in and to all gifts,
possessions and inheritance from Plaintiffs’ Father and
Defendant was forever banned from the title, control or use of
such gifts, possessions or inheritance. (Psalm24:1) (Psalm
115:16)
Thinking About Unity 6
2. The People of God have committed, and do continue to
affirm their commitment, to avoid any contact or participation
with the Principality of Baal and its vast extensions, and to be
trustworthy in the use of the gifts, possessions and inheritance
to which they are entitled.
3. The People of God are entitled to the blessings of Abraham,
(Galatians 3:13-14) and are entrusted with those blessings to
be a blessing in the earth (Genesis 12:2-3). This Court holds
that the blessings of the Plaintiffs’ Father are to make The
People of God truly rich and He intends no sorrow or toiling to
be added to it. (Proverbs 10:22) Additionally, this Court finds
the wealth accumulated by those following the Defendant’s
practices lawfully belong to the Plaintiffs remaining in right
standing with this Court. (Proverbs 13:22) (1John 3:8)
4. In addition to this Court’s Decree of Divorce entered against
the Principality of Baal in favor of The People of God as
Plaintiffs, this Court finds that previous proclamations of this
Court support the issuance of this Writ of Assistance, including
the following:
a. The thief must repay sevenfold, and must give all the
substance of his house; (Proverbs 6:30-31). He must restore
seven times what he has taken.
b. The wicked man, though he piles up silver and has
plentiful garments, the just will wear them and the innocent
will divide the silver. (See Job 27:13-17)
Thinking About Unity 7
c. The Plaintiffs’ inheritance is from the Father who purposed
only that His House be filled with splendor because the silver
is His, and the gold is His and it is to His House that He
grants peace and prosperity (See Haggai 2:7-9) Page 1 of 2
d. It is the Will of The Father of the People of God that the
Plaintiffs alone receive the “treasures of darkness and the
hidden wealth of secret places.” (Isaiah 45:2-3)
e. While the Defendant claims as his own vast possessions,
this Court has ruled, and does here again rule that “He who
by charging excessive interest and who by unjust efforts gets
gain and increases his material possessions gathers it for
those who are kind and generous to the poor”, the Plaintiffs
here. (Proverbs 28:8) While the Defendant has gathered it,
this Court rules “he must give it” to The People of God who
are “good in God’s sight.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26)
The Highest Court having fully considered the Plaintiffs’ plea for a
Writ of Assistance to enforce its prior rulings and proclamations,
and finding the request timely made, does this day issue this Writ
of Assistance on behalf of The People of God, Plaintiffs:
1. Giving The People of God this day power to gain wealth to
confirm this Court’s covenant to their fathers. (Deuteronomy
8:18)
2. Ordering that all those empowered by this Court to enforce
its rulings and proclamations forthwith grant full assistance in
the transfer of all wealth, possessions, properties, and gifts
Thinking About Unity 8
belonging to the Plaintiffs as The People of God, to employ the
Power and Might of this Highest Court to perform this Word,
calling into obedience all enforcement authorities to continue in
this transfer until it is fully completed and The People of God
are in unchallenged possession. (Psalm 103:19-21) This Writ
extends to all the extensions and manifestations of the
Principality of Baal, however named or designated, known or
hidden, and however related to this Prince of Demons.
(Matthew 12:24)
It is the unlimited authorization of this Writ to bind this strongman
and the entire house over which he has rule, to authorize the
carrying off of all property in his possession or delegated under
him to any part of his principality or in any way related to him, and
to plunder his house. (Matthew 12:29)
Therefore, let the Writ issue, and from this order there shall be no
appeal.” Hapn.us
“I can still remember the day I got up early and went from our
bedroom to the couch. As I lay down and began to meditate and
get my mind set on the Lord for the day, an interesting thing
happened: a blackboard appeared before me ... I began to see
words appear on this blackboard. The hand of God seemed to be
writing before me, just as He wrote in the days of Daniel. I saw the
following words: anti-Semitism, militant Islam, covenant conflict,
women arising for My purposes, lawlessness, the transference of
wealth, overthrowing thrones of iniquity and prayer for war.
Thinking About Unity 9
‘Prepare for war’ seemed to be the illuminating cornerstone of the
vision. I said, ‘Lord, what are You showing me?’ ‘This is the future
war of the Church,’ He said. I saw one other topic that caused my
spirit to leap: Prayers that outwit the devil. I have since written a
book called Prayers that Outwit the Enemy (Regal Books, 2004)
to help God’s people pray in a more strategic way ... When this
blackboard appeared in front of me and I meditated on what God
was saying, I knew He was asking me to write something that
would help the Body to prepare for the days that lie ahead.” (The
Future War of the Church: How We Can Defeat Lawlessness and
Bring God’s Order to Earth, Chuck Pierce, Rebecca Wagner
Sytsema, Chosen Books, 2001, 2007)
The Transference of Wealth and the Prophets
“Dramatic kingdom connections between the prophets and
business leaders were reported, leading us to say that this is a
new season. Prosperity will come with these alliances.
These connections will impact the formation of alternative
economic paradigms that will both influence world markets and
systems, as well as form new ones. For many years, we have
prophesied about a coming “Lion’s Market”—an alternative
economic structure formed within the body of Christ ... Concerning
the church, a shift in understanding of the connection between
tithes and offerings and blessing will cause poverty to be broken
off many believers (see Malachi 3:8-10). Pastors will become bold
and unashamed to teach on the subject of finances, and both the
Thinking About Unity 10
people and the church will be blessed.” Cindy Jacobs, Word of the
Lord for 2016
In 2006 Dutch Sheets wrote that he heard the Holy Spirit “very
clearly” say, “The great transfer of wealth begins this year.” That
means, according to Sheets, that the Church is now into the 11th year
of the end time transfer of wealth. Sheets also wrote in 2006 that the
Holy Spirit said to him, “The greatest shift into the Apostolic Age
comes this year. For this year, they will begin to see the abundance
of fruit come forth.” Identitynetwork.net
We will look at more about how the NAR leadership views the End
Time Transfer of Wealth in the following chapters.
Thinking About Unity 11
Rafael Cruz is the father of U.S. Senator and former Presidential
candidate Ted Cruz. Rafael Cruz believes strongly in the end time
“transfer of wealth” that will come about from government leaders like
his son.
“The pastor referred to Proverbs 13:22 a little while ago, which
says that the wealth of the wicked is stored for the righteous. And
it is through the kings, anointed to take dominion that that transfer
of wealth is going to occur. God, even though He’s sovereign,
even though He’s omnipotent, He doesn’t just let it rain out of the
sky – He’s going to use people to do it.” Rafael Cruz, New
Beginnings Church, Irving, Texas, August 26, 2012
Those words preached from the pulpit of a Texas megachurch prior
to the 2012 election of Ted Cruz to the U.S. Senate from Texas have
been quoted many times through the years. Both Ted Cruz’s race for
the Senate and Rick Perry’s run for President in 2012 introduced
many Christians and journalists to what we know as the New
Apostolic Reformation, the Seven Mountain Mandate, and the
concept of the great “transfer of wealth” from the wicked to the
righteous.
“Before the king went to battle, the priest came and blessed the
king and blessed the warriors. The king needed the blessing of
the priest in order to be successful in battle … There are some of
you, as a matter of fact, I will dare to say that the majority of you,
that your anointing is not an anointing as priests; it’s an anointing
Thinking About Unity 12
as king. And God has given you an anointing to go to the
battlefield. And what’s the battlefield? The battlefield is the
marketplace, to go to the marketplace and occupy the land, to go
to the marketplace and take dominion ... That dominion is over
every areas: society, education, government, economics ... Kings
who are anointed to go to war, win the war, and bring the spoils of
war to the priests so the work of the kingdom of God could be
accomplished.” Rafael Cruz, New Beginnings Church
Rafael Cruz was the guest of New Beginnings Pastor Larry Huch who
also proclaims the massive “transfer of wealth” from the wicked to the
righteous.
“The Rabbinical teaching is, especially amongst gentiles who God
opens their eyes, that in a few weeks begins that year 2012, and
that this will begin what we call ‘the end time transfer of wealth.’
And that when these gentiles begin to receive this blessing, they
will never go back financially through the valley again. They will
go and grow and grow. It’s said this way - that God is looking at
the Church and everyone in it and deciding in the next three-and-
a-half years who will be His bankers, and the ones who say ‘here
am I Lord, you can trust me,’ we will become so blessed that we
will usher in the coming of the Messiah.” Pastor Larry Huch, New
Beginnings Church, August 26, 2012
Thinking About Unity 13
Benny Hinn wrote an article entitled “Your Supernatural Wealth
Transfer Is Coming” where he addressed the end time transfer of
wealth.
“The Word of God says, "Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that
favour my righteous cause" (Psalm 35:27). That means, those
who support the Gospel, here spoken of as His "righteous cause,"
will shout for joy and be glad! We are seeing glorious victories on
earth today as the Gospel is being preached to the nations of the
world, and millions are coming into the kingdom.
That verse continues, "Yea, let them say continually, Let the
Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant." It is God's will that you prosper!
In fact, the Word of God explains that we are coming into a time
when we will see a glorious transfer of wealth for the preaching of
the Gospel, for the financing of the end-time harvest. The day will
come when the wealth of the sinner will be given to the righteous:
"A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and
the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just" (Proverbs 13:22).”
Benny Hinn, Bennyhinn.org/articles
Hinn teaches that there have already been six “wealth transfers” on
earth and God is about to send another one. The previous six Hinn
lists are –
Thinking About Unity 14
1. Abraham Genesis 13 (from pharaoh to Abraham)
2. Isaac Genesis 26 (from Abraham and Abimelech)
3. Jacob Genesis 31 (from Laban)
4. Joseph Genesis 41 (from pharaoh and Egypt)
5. Israel Exodus 3 (from people of Egypt)
6. King Solomon 1 Kings 10 (from the nations)
Hinn believes the next massive transfer of wealth will be for the
righteous on earth –
“Next in line for a great wealth transfer is you! "The wealth of the
sinner is laid up for the just" (Proverbs 13:22). Here is why—the
Lord wants to give you the wealth of the sinner to establish His
covenant: "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his
covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day"
(Deuteronomy 8:18). His covenant is the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
His Son, for the nations! God will give you the wealth of the sinner
so you can support the preaching of the Gospel to the world!
This wealth transfer is just around the corner! The Lord said,
"Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as
the clay; He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the
innocent shall divide the silver" (Job 27:16-17). Get ready!
God Almighty is looking for people He can trust with this wealth.
That is why Paul the apostle wrote, "He which soweth sparingly
shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall
Thinking About Unity 15
reap also bountifully" (2 Corinthians 9:6). This promise deals with
God giving to us today as well as in the coming days of wealth
transfer.
These true riches are coming to the body of Christ.
As you sow today, you prove yourself faithful. Remember what
the Bible says about faithfulness: "He that is faithful in that which
is least is faithful also in much" (Luke 16:10). If we cannot be
trusted with small amounts of money, how can we be trusted with
true riches?
Today, as you sow your seed into God's kingdom, remember that
He is watching your faithfulness. What you sow declares your
faith.” bennyhinn.org/articles
How much money does Hinn believe will be transferred in the next
great “transfer of wealth”? The Christian Post quoted Hinn as
claiming – “It is estimated by many leading financial analysts that
during the next three decades more than $16 trillion will transfer from
one generation to the next. As I’ve been sharing with you in recent
months, the Word of God clearly tells us that we are coming into a
time when we will see a glorious transfer of wealth for the preaching
of the Gospel and for the financing of the end-time harvest” –
“Hinn argued that before each ‘historic financial blessing,’ God
asked people for an offering.
‘Right before giving them their supernatural wealth transfer, He
first asked them to give an offering. Every household was
Thinking About Unity 16
commanded to bring a lamb to sacrifice. Then, after making the
sacrifice and applying the blood over the door and on the
doorposts, God told them to go and receive the wealth of the
Egyptians.’
The televangelist asked people to join him in preparing for this
great transfer of wealth, and asked them to "prayerfully sow a
sacrificial seed and take an extraordinary step of faith."
Hinn continued: ‘I know you may have other plans for that seed,
but I'm asking you to seek and obey God as He shows you a
divine destiny for that seed. And as you sow it into the Lord's
work, He will get you out of your bondage." Christian Post, Stoyan

Thinking About Unity 17
C. Peter Wagner is probably the most powerful voice in the New
Apostolic Reformation movement concerning the end time transfer of
wealth. He wrote Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change the
World in 2008 (Chosen Books) and explained how “wealth” would
play a vital role in God’s plans –
“Jesus taught us to pray that God’s Kingdom would come and His
will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. To that end, in
these present times the urgent mandate of God to the Church is
to actively engage in transforming society. This means placing
Christian leaders into positions of leadership influential enough to
share our culture. Such Kingdom action can change the world!
The New Apostolic Reformation, with its roots going back to 1900,
is today’s new wineskin. The Second Apostolic Age began in
2001, and today’s apostles are the church leaders who most hear
what the Spirit is saying to the churches. They are now hearing
the clear mandate of God for social transformation.
Social transformation is becoming the current overriding objective
for the people of God. This has developed through the history of
Christian social involvement, from Constantine to the Reformers,
then to the Lausanne Movement, and now our current situation.
“Transformation” needs careful definition and accurate
measurement when it occurs. For many traditional evangelicals, a
significant paradigm shift is necessary to embrace this movement,
but such a shift is happening even now.
Thinking About Unity 18
Dominion theology provides the biblical paradigm for
understanding how the Church must involve itself in the cultural
mandate as well as the evangelistic mandate. God’s will is not
only for us to save souls, but also, more broadly, to transform
society. “Dominion” starts in Genesis 1:26, and the theme is
carried through the Bible. Jesus became the second Adam and
regained the dominion over creation that the first Adam lost.
Dominion is also called Kingdom theology: “Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” God’s will being
accomplished on earth as it is in heaven depends on His people
becoming empowered by the Holy Spirit and moving into action.
The Body of Christ in general is currently much more aware of the
Holy Spirit’s power than it was in the past, due largely to the
insights surfaced by the Pentecostal and charismatic movements.
The Church is expected to war. Cosmic powers of evil have been
assigned to thwart the Kingdom of God on earth, but they can be
confronted and defeated. Apostles are designated to lead the
Church into war because it takes a government to overthrow a
government. Jesus invaded the kingdom of Satan when He came
to earth, and He said that the kingdom will be taken by violence.
Some Christian leaders have promulgated an unfortunately
antiwar movement, but the dangers of this need to be exposed.
For society to be transformed, bondages related to the land must
be identified and broken through informed intercession. In war the
victors plunder the enemy’s camp, and God will cause this to
Thinking About Unity 19
happen as never before.
The Kingdom of God is not confined to the four walls of the local
church. The ekklesia is the people of God, whether they are
gathered in their congregations on Sunday as the nuclear Church,
or whether they are scattered in the workplace Monday through
Saturday as the extended Church. The extended Church, just like
the nuclear Church, is founded on apostles and prophets, but in
the extended Church these are different people who operate
differently under a different rule book. However, it is these
extended church leaders who will be most effective in
transforming society. Workplace apostles are called to take
dominion in business, government, arts and entertainment, media,
family and education.
Solomon says, “Money answers everything” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).
We have not taken such wisdom seriously enough. Three things,
more than anything else, have changed society throughout
history: violence, knowledge and wealth—and the greatest of
these is wealth. Our churches have been under the spell of
poverty since the monastic movement began, and this spirit must
be broken in order for wealth to flow. Our most reputable prophets
have prophesied a great transfer of wealth from the unrighteous to
the Kingdom of God. Our ministries need to move from donor-
based financing to revenue-based financing, and wealth must be
distributed skillfully through sophisticated philanthropy. God gives
His people the power to get wealth (see Deuteronomy 8:18).
Thinking About Unity 20
This is an exciting venture that will come about as we walk in
unfeigned obedience to what the Spirit is currently saying to the
churches. We are poised as never before in history to fulfill Jesus’
Great Commission of discipling the nations.”
Wagner wrote The Great Transfer of Wealth: Financial Release for
Advancing God’s Kingdom (Whitaker House) in 2015. Cindy Jacobs
wrote the Foreword –
“This book brings timely balance and kingdom perspective to the
subject of wealth. There is an abundance of biblical text to support
the truth that the Lord desires to prosper us so that we can be a
blessing to others. God desires us to have what Peter Wagner
calls ‘prosperity with a purpose’! The Lord wants His kingdom to
come and His will to be done on earth, as it is in heaven, so He
offers His people access to lavish supernatural resources … If we
are ever going to transform our nations, it is going to take wealth.”
Cindy Jacobs, Foreward
What is the process for bring in this great transfer of wealth from the
wicked to the righteous? Wagner wrote an article for Elijahlist.com in
2004 titled “The Great Transfer of Wealth: Are You Ready?” –
“I brought up the fact that since 1992 we have been hearing from
God, through respected prophets, that He desires to release great
amounts of wealth to His people for the advance of His kingdom,
namely through evangelism, church planting, caring for the poor,
and transforming society. Why, then, hasn’t it happened as yet?
Thinking About Unity 21
My answer is that first God was probably waiting until the
government of the church got into place on the foundation of
apostles and prophets, which did occur beginning in 2001.
Secondly, He is probably waiting until the proper strategy to
handle these funds is functional. This is only beginning to
happen.” Peter Wagner, elijahlist.com
Wagner presented what he called “four essential links in the chain of
wealth-transference: Providers, Managers, Distributors, and Field
Marshals. The Providers are believers and unbelievers who have
money in huge quantities. Wagner said this money will be delivered
by what he called “supernatural transference.” He gave Israel in
Egypt as an example –
“God released huge amounts of wealth from the pagan Egyptians
to His people. They did not earn this money from making bricks
without straw. It was a supernatural transference. On the other
hand, the second way that God will use some providers is to give
them what could be called "power to get wealth." This is like
making bricks for a profit, but it would more likely take the form of
a gold mine or a technological breakthrough or a patent on a
lifesaving drug. The Bible says that "[God] gives you power to get
wealth" (Deut. 8:18) and "The Lord your God will bless you in all
your works and in all to which you put your hand" (Deut. 15:10).
People who are now making money will go to new levels, through
the power of God, that they have not even imagined!” Peter
Wagner, elijahlist.com
Thinking About Unity 22
Wagner said “field marshals” are apostles who are currently planting
churches. He said that the “distributors” are in place, “but they have
not yet been recognized as such because they will only go into action
once the funds are available.” Wagner believes that many apostles
who are members of the International Coalition of Apostles will be
among them.
Wagner wrote that “managers” is the missing link –
“Why would God release huge amounts of resources that could
go down a black hole? Few distributors or field marshals, who for
the most part would be nuclear church apostles, would have the
business skills to receive the funds and handle them in such a
way that they would not all be used at once, but that they would
provide a constant stream of revenue for advancing the kingdom.
Unquestionably these kinds of skillful managers do exist within the
Body of Christ, but they are not yet part of the chain, strategically
connected to distributors and field marshals.” Peter Wagner,
elijahlist.com
Wagner believes the transfer of wealth will move from “Donor-Based
to Revenue-Based” when managers “who will be mostly workplace
apostles rather than nuclear church apostles” have taken their
position in the wealth transfer process. Wagner calls it “a new
wineskin for financing the Great Commission.”
Thinking About Unity 23
Two other NAR apostles speak highly of Wagner’s insights into the
transfer of wealth –
“God is a God of abundance. To view Him in any other way is a
distortion of reality – the greatest reality of all: the nature of God …
Peter Wagner has given us great strategies for renewing our hearts
and minds to be fully immersed in God’s purposes for planet earth.
By implementing these practical strategies, we will be positioned to
help facilitate The Great Transfer of Wealth, which will lead to the
greatest harvest of souls the world has ever seen.” Bill Johnson,
Bethel Church, Redding, California, www.arsenalbooks.com
“Now Peter brings you what I believe to be the most pivotal book
of this kingdom age – The Great Transfer of Wealth. These pages
are filled with godly wisdom, solid biblical teaching, heavenly
instruction, and prophetic insight that will prepare and position you
to be a participant in the great transfer of wealth, as written in
Isaiah 60. You will know God’s ultimate purpose for the transfer,
and how it will bring about societal transformation.” Che Ahn,
Apostle, Harvest Apostolic Center, www.arsenalbooks.com
Thinking About Unity 24
Dr. D.K. Olukoya wrote a book in 2005 titled The Wealth Transfer
Agenda (Battle Cry Christian Ministries) –
“Wealth or riches occupy an important place in God’s end-time
programme for the world. Unknown to most believers, wealth is
not just needed for personal survival; God needs wealth for the
execution of the divine programme. For example, the preaching of
the gospel cannot be successfully carried out without money.
To fully accomplish and execute God’s goals for the end times,
individuals and churches will receive amazing financial
empowerment. Towards this end, the Church of God will very
soon become the controller of the economy of the world. God who
is the author of wealth, will ensure that abundant wealth is
channeled towards where real action is taking place – the church.
Much as the devil can come up with emergency plans to destroy
millions of people all over the world, God has also come up with
the plan for the massive conversion of souls. For this plan to be
effectively executed, so much money will be required. No wonder
the Bible says:
Zech. 1:17: Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread aboard; and the Lord shall
yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
This is the hour when the passage above will be actualized. This
is the time when more money than has ever been made available
for the preaching of the gospel will be released unto the church.
Thinking About Unity 25
God is going to raise up individuals and churches as end-time
treasurers. This is the essence of the mystery of the wealth
transfer agenda.” Dr. D.K. Olukoya
Thinking About Unity 26
In his 2015 book Last Great Wealth Transfer (Morris Cerullo World
Evangelism), Morris Cerullo listed three great wealth transfers: the
transfer of the control of Egypt’s wealth into the hands of Joseph, the
transfer of the wealth of Egypt into the hands of the Israelites as they
were being led out by Moses, and the transfer of the wealth of the
heathen world into the hands of Solomon –
“God recorded these for several purposes:
• To let us know that the medium of exchange to ensure the
blessings from God to our lives is important to him, whether
it is cattle, livestock, grain, oil, wine, or money! As Solomon
said: … money answereth all things (Ecclesiastes 10:19).
• To encourage us that His will is to bless us (3 John 2).
• To teach us about the things He has done so that we will
erect spiritual memorials to His glory.
• To TEACH us principles from the lives of great men of God
of the past that translate to power for us to receive in our
present life.
God not only transferred wealth in the past, but He has promised
that in the future He would take the wealth of the wicked (the
world) and transfer it to the righteous. A good man leaveth an
inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner
is laid up for the just (Proverbs 13:22).
Partner, this precious promise reveals the heart of God and His
will for His people.
Thinking About Unity 27
God wants to bless us with the wealth of the world for two
reasons. First, it does not belong to them. The Bible says, For
every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand
hills (Psalms 50:10). Second, that we might use mammon for the
glory of God, to preach the Gospel to the far reaches of the earth.”
Morris Cerullo, Introduction
Thinking About Unity 28
In his Foreward to Cerullo’s book, John Avanzini wrote –
“Plainly put, it will cost billions of dollars to reach the billions of
souls in Mission To All The World. Don’t be dismayed at these
astronomical numbers, for the cost of the end-time harvest comes
as no surprise to God.
When the Lord speaks of the fields being white to the harvest, He
also alerts us to the financial implications: … pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers … (Luke
10:2).
Notice the prayer is not that the laborers merely be called but that
they be sent. One of the greatest tragedies I have witnessed in
the worldwide harvest of souls is that there are so many people
who are called and so few dollars to send them forth.
Now, at long last, a light comes on at the end of the tunnel of time
as a divinely inspired dream once again is sent to God’s end-time
prophet. It is a dream of world evangelism on a scale never before
imagined. A dream of outreach that without God’s supernatural
enablings would financially collapse the Church.
However, with the vision also comes a faithful promise of God’s
long-awaited answer to the shortage the Church has been caught
up in. It is God’s great, end-time wealth transfer.
As Dr. Cerullo so accurately stated, the greatest gathering of
wealth ever known to man is, at this very moment, in storage here
on earth. The billions and trillions of dollars that the mega fat cats
Thinking About Unity 29
of this world have stacked up are ready for redistribution by God
himself!
With more people alive on planet earth today than have lived and
died since the world began, this store of mega wealth awaits a
can-do, can-believe-it people. And thank God that army of people
is on the earth today!

Matthew Ashimolowo wrote The Coming Wealth Transfer:
Believing The Prophecy, Applying The Principles, Preparing To Be A
Millionare (Mattyson Media) in 2006 –
“In the past forty years major ministers and ministries have been
speaking of the coming wealth transfer. This includes the likes of
Dr Oral Roberts, Kenneth Copeland and Dr Kenneth E. Hagin. In
more recent times, the voice of people outside of the Word of
Faith Movement have been added to this prophecy. C. Peter
Wagner indicated that in several meetings and places where he
has been, such prophecies had been coming forth and that this
great wealth transfer will take place through the evolution of four
kinds of people within the body of Christ.
A new generation of Wealth producers, Managers, Distributors
and the Generals of God who will use the wealth for the
advancement of the Kingdom of God.
In this 21st century, everything happening around us makes this
prophecy believable, acceptable and necessary for progress. The
Kingdom of God must be advanced.
Anyone reading would laugh at the thought that a wealth transfer
is on the horizon, that the financial topography of the church will
change with the church being involved.
This will start with a supernatural intervention of God. He spoke it,
that there would be a wealth transfer.

‘I will give you the treasures of darkness riches stored in secret
places so that you may know that I am the LORD the God of
Israel who summons you by name.’ Isaiah 45:3
I am convinced that this wealth transfer will only come into the
hand of those who are prepared, who have stewarded, studied
the system of the world and are open to the supernatural doings
of God.” Matthew Ashimolowo, Introduction
Ashimolowo believes that God will shift wealth to the Church in
several ways:
• The treasures of darkness – Isaiah 45:3
• Sealed up treasures – Deuteronomy 32:34
• Treasures in the sand – (e.g. oil in the ground)
• Treasures of kings – 2 Kings 24:13
• Treasures in the field – Jeremiah 41:8
• Treasures of the East – Matthew 2:11
• Unstewarded favor – Psalm 102:13
• Inheritances – Exodus 15:17; Numbers 26:53-54; Deuteronomy
4:38; 1 Peter 1:4
• Stolen property restored – Proverbs 6:30-31
• Benefits – Psalm 68:19; Psalm 103:2; Psalm 116:12; Psalm
66:12
• Divine ideas for wealth creation – Deuteronomy

Forbes listed Ashimolowo as one of the richest pastors in Nigeria in
2011 estimating his wealth between $6-10 million with most of that
coming from the sale of more than 60 of his books and from his
media company, Matthew Ashimolowo Media. Ashimolowo and his
wife are also pastors of Kingsway International Christian Centre in
London.
Thinking About Unity 33
Ashimolowo mentioned Oral Roberts, Kenneth Copeland and
Kenneth Hagin in his book as men who had been speaking about
the “transfer of wealth” for decades –
“The Bible says the Gospel must be confirmed with signs and
wonders to capture the attention of the multitudes. For example,
in 1954 we brought television cameras into our big tent crusades
for the first time, where each night there were as many as ten
thousand people inside the tent, plus those standing outside.
They were there because we were praying for the sick, and the
sick were being healed.
And we had it filmed! TV stations coast-to-coast and throughout
Canada, Japan, and other nations carried the services, and
millions of people watched miracles happen right before their
eyes. It turned those nations upside down!
That’s nothing compared to what I see happening in the future.
God has always had a remnant—a group of people to take the
Gospel to the unsaved. And I see that remnant rising up and
infiltrating the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I envision huge crusades being conducted with mass miracles
taking place. And I see them being televised throughout the
nations of the world, causing a witness so big, so powerful, that it
will capture the attention of nations with the message that Jesus
saves, heals, and delivers!
Thinking About Unity 34
For crusades like these to happen, we need to start believing God
for finances and understanding that tithing has a purpose—so
God can open the windows of heaven and pour us out more than
enough, according to Malachi 3:10–11. Then as our needs are
met—as finances, resources, and workers are in place—we can
send out the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the nations as a
witness.” Oral Roberts, Miracles Vol. 5 No. 1 2012 (quoted from
2000)
“I see a remnant of believers forming who are going to get into the
teaching, preaching and healing message of Jesus Christ. And
according to Proverbs 13:22, a portion of the finances of the world
are going to be loosed into their hands in the end-time transfer of
wealth so they can do it.
In Exodus 12:35-36, the Lord gave the children of Israel favor with
the Egyptians and had jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment transferred into their hands the night of their exodus from
Egypt.
They didn’t understand the purpose for the money at the time, but
later in Exodus 25:8 we see the purpose. God said, ‘Build me a
sanctuary—a place where I can dwell.’ They used the riches to
build it.
Now, God was not just talking about church buildings here. When
someone can turn on their television and get born again and have
Jesus move into their heart—a sanctuary where He can dwell—
Thinking About Unity 35
it’s because of Christians’ money that provided the equipment and
the television time.
I see anointed believers:
• starting to believe in the transfer of wealth,
• understanding that money has a spiritual purpose and a
mission, and
• willing to be God’s distribution centers—allowing Him to use
us to get the Gospel message around the world.
Jesus said in Matthew 24:14: This gospel of the kingdom, shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then
shall the end come …
This is our time! The end-time transfer of wealth must begin.
Because we have planted our seeds. I believe that a supernatural
outpouring of finances can come to the body of Christ.
Once that happens, Christians will be like a bullet shot out of a
gun, like Niagara Falls coming down, or a tornado sweeping
across the earth. We will be people who will be listened to for
God, and most importantly, the message of Jesus Christ will be
received!” Issuu.com/oralrobertsministries

Richard Roberts continues his father’s position on the end time
transfer of wealth –
“I hear from many people about their struggles, and I am so
thankful for a God who does not want those who seek Him to lack
any good thing (Psalm 34:10). Today, there is a lot of talk about a
soon coming transfer of wealth from the hands of the unrighteous
over into the hands of the righteous (Proverbs 13:22). In fact, I
talked a lot about it in my letter to you last month. I tell you, this
kind of provision for God’s people has to happen.
You may say, “Why?”
I’ll tell you why… Because it is going to take a major transfer of
wealth to finance ministries all over the world as they prepare for
the great end-time harvest of souls to come into God’s kingdom.”

Kenneth Hagin was known as the “father” of the “Word of Faith”
movement. He started preaching soon after becoming a Christian in
1933 and worked with Oral Roberts, T.L. Osborn and Gordon Lindsay
in the Voice of Healing Revival during the 1940s and 50s. In his 1985
book The Believer’s Authority (Kenneth Hagin Ministries), Hagin
wrote about questioning in the 1940s what kind of authority Christians
had –
“Do we have authority that we don’t know about—that we haven’t
discovered—that we’re not using?’ … As a result of my studies, I
concluded that we as a Church have authority on the earth that
we’ve never yet realized—authority that we’re not using. A few of
us have barely gotten to the end of that authority, but before
Jesus comes again, there’s going to be a whole company of
believers who will rise up with the authority that is theirs, and they
will do the work that God intended they should do.” Kenneth
Hagin, Foreward
Hagin was well known for proclaiming – “You can have what you
say!” He wrote a book by that title (RHEMA Bible Church, 1979).
Hagin quoted Mark 11:23-24 about the woman who touched Jesus’
garment –
“The woman who touched Jesus' garment received exactly what
she said. The Bible says, "for she said, If I may touch but his
clothes, I shall be whole" (verse 28). What she said was her faith
speaking. I know it was, for Jesus said, "Daughter, thy faith hath
Thinking About Unity 38
made thee whole" (verse 34). What you say is your faith
speaking. You can have what you say.” Kenneth Hagin, Chapter 1
Hagin quoted from several Old Testament examples about Israel and
wrote –
“You always get and have in your life what you believe for and
say. If you do not believe what you are saying, you should not say
it, because if you say something long enough, those words
eventually will register on your spirit and will control your life …
People often come to me asking, ‘Will you tell me why I can't get
healed?’ I always smile and say, ‘Yes.’ Their eyes get big and
they say, ‘Well, if you can, I wish you would.’ I say, ‘You just got
through telling me you can't.’ You can have what you say. Their
words give them away. You can locate people by what they say.
Their confession locates them. When I pray for people, I try to get
a confession from them before I pray for them. I ask them, ‘Will
you be healed now as I lay my hands on your head and pray?’
‘Well, Brother Hagin, I—I—I sure hope I will.’ And I always have to
say, ‘Well, you won't. You won't.’ You see, I've located them. I
know where they are now. They're not in faith. They're in hope.
‘Will you be filled with the Holy Spirit now as I lay my hands upon
your head and pray?’ I ask them. ‘Well, I sure hope I will, Brother
Hagin.’ And I always have to say, ‘Well, you won't be.’ I've located
them. Those who have a quick confession of faith receive almost
instantly.” Kenneth Hagin, You Can Have What You Say, Chapter

Thinking About Unity 39
In his CD series How to Write Your Own Ticket With God, Hagin
wrote about Jesus appearing to him in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1953 –
“Then the Lord Jesus Himself appeared to me. I saw him as
clearly as I would see you. He stood within three feet of me. He
discussed things concerning my ministry and finances, and He
even discussed things concerning our United States government.
All of these things came to pass just as He said they would. He
concluded by exhorting me, ‘Be faithful, and fulfill thy ministry, my
son, for the time is short.’ This vision took place in December
1953.
Jesus turned around to walk away, and I said, ‘Dear Lord Jesus,
before You go, may I please ask You a question?’
He retraced His steps, stood close to where I was kneeling, and
said, ‘You may.’
I said, ‘Dear Lord, I have two sermons I preach concerning the
woman who touched Your clothes and was healed when You
were on earth. I received both of these sermons by inspiration. I
preach them everywhere I go. And every time I preach them, I
seem to be conscious in my spirit that the Holy Spirit is trying to
get another sermon from this fifth chapter of Mark to me-a sermon
that would complement the first two.
Then, at times of prayer when I have a great anointing,’ I said, ‘I
will come to the place where it seems I am going to receive that
Thinking About Unity 40
message into my spirit, but somehow or other, I fail to. If I am right
about this, I wish You would give me that sermon.’
He said, ‘You are correct. My Spirit, the Holy Spirit, has
endeavored to get another sermon into your spirit, but you have
failed to pick it up. While I am here, I will do what you ask. I will
give you that sermon outline. Now get your pencil and paper and
write it down.’
I opened my eyes to ask for paper and pencil. I didn't see Jesus
any longer; I saw the people who were praying with me. When I
closed my eyes, there Jesus stood as before. This was a spiritual
vision.
Jesus said, ‘Write down: 1, 2, 3, 4.’ With my eyes shut, I wrote
down 1, 2, 3, 4. I knew the sermon had four points.
He said, ‘If anybody, anywhere, will take these four steps or put
these four principles into operation, he will always receive
whatever he wants from Me or from God the Father.’
I need to explain here that these four steps He gave me can be
put into operation immediately, and you can receive anything in
the present tense, such as salvation, the baptism of the Holy
Spirit, healing for your body, spiritual victory, or finances. Anything
that the Bible promises you now, you can receive now by taking
these four steps.
However, some things, such as some financial needs and the
manifestation of some healings, etc., may take time to develop.

Then the four steps become principles that you must put into
practice over a period of time.” Kenneth Hagin, How to Write Your

• Step One – Say It
• Step Two – Do It
• Step Three – Receive It

Kenneth Copeland shared what he learned from Kenneth Hagin
and Oral Roberts –
“I was at Oral Roberts University as a student and I was listening
to him and listening to Brother Hagin. I’m listening to these men of
God and watching them – I mean I watched them like a hawk to
see how they lived and how they walked by faith. I knew they lived
by faith, but I wanted to see how they did it … These men were
walking, taking advantage in the spirit realm of what had been
bought and paid for them by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and it was
available to every believer.” Kenneth Copeland, Believers Voice of
Victory, www.god.tv
Copeland wrote The Laws of Prosperity in 1974 (Kenneth Copeland
Publications) –
“God first began dealing with me about the laws that govern
prosperity in 1967 … It didn’t occur to me that the Bible was
written by the most successful individual alive—God!
John was a wise old man, strong in the Lord, and he said, ‘I wish
above all things that you prosper and be in health.’ [3 John 2)
Through our traditional ideas, we have been lead to believe that
prosperity is bad or ungodly. However, John writes that we should
prosper and be in health and then it says in verse 11, ‘Beloved,
follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth
good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.’ If
prosperity is evil, why would He want us to prosper? You see,
Thinking About Unity 43
there is nothing wrong with prosperity in itself. Money is not the
root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all evil (see 1
Timothy 6:10), and there are people committing this sin who don’t
have a dime! I want you to realize, however, that prosperity
covers much more than finances … To prosper spiritually, you
must be born again. When you accept Jesus as your Savior and
make Him the Lord of your life, your spirit is reborn and brought
into fellowship with the Father, the Almighty God. This then puts
you in a position to receive from Him all the things promised in His
Word.” Kenneth Copeland, Chapter One
In his 1986 book Giving & Receiving (Kenneth Copeland Ministries),
Kenneth Copeland wrote – “The Body of Christ should be the
wealthiest, most powerful and most influential people in all the world.
But what have we done? We have turned the management of the
world’s finances over to the devil, and believing his lies is an
indictment against us all.”

Gloria Copeland, wife of Kenneth Copeland, sat down with Pastor
George Pearson on the Believer’s Voice of Victory broadcast to
discuss the “supernatural transfer of wealth” into people’s lives. They
quoted from a sermon Kenneth Copeland delivered at the Branson
Victory Campaign in March of 2012 –
“The largest, most significant transfer of property, goods, wealth
and people from the hands of the devil into the hands of God’s
people who are prepared to receive it … I am telling you, the
biggest transfer of property in the history of mankind has just
begun and it is swinging into … It has moved over into its final
stage, saith The LORD … And those who will listen to Me and
follow Me and trust Me—those who I have taught My WORD and
have given the authority to walk in these things it is the most
outstanding thing that human eyes have ever seen … And the
time is now. Your time has come. Your hour has come. So rise
and do those things by faith that you know to do and all that
belongs to heaven will come into your hands for your joy.”

“You’ve been searching, seeking help…and God has the answer.
He has the one word that can turn your circumstances around and
put you on dry ground. He has the one word that will give you all
the peace that’s in Him. He is your Father. God wants you to be
blessed so that you can be a blessing. He wants to open the
windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing so there’s not
room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10). God love you. And He
has a word for you. One Word that change your life forever!”
Kenneth Copeland, Introduction
“Hear the good news! The same God Who wants you to walk in
His saving grace, to experience His miracle healing power, and
for your family to be entirely whole, also wants you to operate in
total financial abundance … I’m talking about something that will
enable you to experience a miracle in your finances—a miracle
that will transform your finances from barely making it to
abundance, from not enough to more than enough, from little to
much.” John Avanzini, Chapter 1
“It is definitely God’s will for all of His children to prosper! That’s
why He inspired the Apostle John to write, ‘Beloved, I wish above
all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth’ (3 John 2).
Notice there, however, that John didn’t just say, ‘I want you to
prosper.’ He said, ‘I want you to prosper as your soul prospers.’
He tied financial prosperity to the prosperity of your mind, will and
emotions.
Thinking About Unity 46
God’s plan is for us to grow financially as we grow spiritually. He
knows it is dangerous to put great wealth into the hands of
someone who is too spiritually immature to handle it …
God’s part of the covenant is to prosper us—spirit, soul and body,
as well as financially. What is our part of the covenant? It’s not to
see after that prosperity. If we do that, we’ll get sidetracked. Our
part of the covenant is to seek first His kingdom, His way of doing
and being right!” Gloria Copeland, Chapter 2

Dennis Burke worked with Kenneth Copeland Ministries before
starting his own ministry and has been a guest speaker for the
Believers’ Voice of Victory broadcast and has been featured in the
Believers’ Voice of Victory magazine. He wrote How To Seize The
Transfer of Wealth in 2000 (Dennis Burke Publications) –
“To the person who understands the idea of covenant, it is no
mystery that the New Covenant brings all the blessings of God
into the life of the believer. It places you in a position to receive all
of God’s goodness and provision.
As the focus of God’s love, you have been brought into this
covenant by simple faith in the sacrifice of Jesus, and have been
given the right to receive all that this covenant includes.
The more you understand how God thinks about you, the easier it
is to be obedient and stand on His Word. Psalm 115 gives us
powerful insight into the way God thinks:
The Lord has been mindful of us: He will bless us; He will bless
the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will
bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great. May the
Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; but the earth He
has given to the children of men (verses 12-16).
God’s thoughts are fixed on you! He has remembered you. He
has not forgotten you or the things you are facing. God is looking

for ways to bring His best and His increase into your life.” Dennis

Morris Ruddick wrote an article for the Global Initiatives
Foundation titled “The Power Shift and Kingdom Wealth.” Ruddick
wrote that Jesus’ earthly mission “released restoration and
redemption that would shake the nations.” He quoted Acts 4:24-26,
““They raised their voice to God with one accord and said, Lord, You
are God, who made heaven and earth and all that is in them; who by
the mouth of your servant David have said, ‘Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot vain things? The kings of the earth took their
stand, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and His
Anointed.’” –
“Why indeed do the nations rage? It is because Jesus set in
motion the conflict of all ages, which will result in the greatest
power shift of all ages, as God’s sovereignty over His creation is
restored, His covenant confirmed and His people become the
head and not the tail. This conflict encompasses everyday life and
extends from the spiritual to the community (social and
governmental) to the economic. It involves the principle that is
clearly outlined in Genesis and then is seen throughout the rest of
the Bible: dominion. God made His people to rule over the works
of His hands. And that rule involves principles governing what
Jesus referred to as the Kingdom of God. So, to grasp the
significance of this issue of Kingdom wealth, it is essential to
understand the dynamic of the power shift underway. It is a power
shift that will restore Almighty God to the central role in the
everyday life of people. It will involve a central role for His
Thinking About Unity 50
emissaries. It will dispel the non-Biblical myth of the separation
between the sacred and secular --- because He is central to ALL.
It is a power shift that is mobilizing a mature Body with God’s
Kingdom perspective and purposes guiding their steps. It will
reorient the perverse and the godless orientations of our age with
the result that interlinks secular enterprises with overriding
Kingdom objectives. And it will be this interlinking of secular
enterprises with Kingdom objectives that will be the gateway for
the release of the flow of Kingdom wealth.” Morris Ruddick,
strategic-initiatives.org/pages/publications/
Ruddick explained that thinking about “Kingdom wealth” is similar to
being “God’s economy” that starts like a “grain of mustard seed:
small, innocuous, but potent and unstoppable in its growth.” Ruddick
gave Isaac’s sowing seed during a time of famine and reaping “in the
same year a hundred-fold” as an example of receiving blessing and
wealth from “God’s economy” even when that defies the way the
world views the foundations of wealth.
Ruddick believes that “Kingdom wealth” will evolve from “the three
biblical dimensions of Kingdom riches: spiritual riches, community
riches and economic riches” –
“We have entered a time in which these three dimensions will
operate in concert with one another as Kingdom entrepreneurs
who have specialties in each begin working together. And these
Thinking About Unity 51
Kingdom entrepreneurs will change the world, as we know it
today.” Morris Ruddick
Ruddick addresses unity within the Body of Christ as being vital to the
transfer of wealth –
“As the Body has been awakened, matured, informed and
connected, there has been a convergence tied to a fresh and
major move of redemption and restoration. This convergence will
actuate the Deuteronomy 8 principle of the “power to get wealth
that He might establish His covenant” as a transfer of wealth tied
to the power shift in process emerges. This dynamic will serve as
a catalyst for unfolding a level of redemption and Kingdom
restoration that will be unlike anything seen in recent times.
But there are two other key scriptures, which together with
Deuteronomy 8:18 form the broader perspective encompassing
the transfer of wealth. The first is the Proverbs 13 principle that
the “wealth of the wicked is stored up for the just.” The second is
from Isaiah 60 and marks the expectation of what will unfold with
the restoration of Israel.
We have entered an era in which numerous end-time conditions
are being aligned. This alignment includes four key emerging
factors tied to the wealth transfer.
When they mature and converge, they will be significant catalysts
to the release of enormous wealth and resources into the hands
Thinking About Unity 52
of those at the forefront of strategically advancing the Kingdom of
God. These four dimensions include
• the restoration of God’s economy;
• a new outworking of Body-unity whereby community initiatives
become Kingdom initiatives;
• strategic partnerships between spiritual, community and
economic Kingdom entrepreneurs, and
• the restoration of Israel.
Ruddick ends the article with an explanation about why there is so
much focus today on the importance of the end time transfer of
wealth –
“Centuries and centuries ago, seats of power rested with those
with the military might. Then there was a time when those who
reigned and conquered were those controlling the organizational
religious establishments. Most recent centuries have seen rule
and authority controlled by national governments. But during the
most recent decade or so, the real seats of power have been tied
to economic power. That's why so much of the focus today, in
terms of God's agendas and the building of His Kingdom, involves
the mobilization of economic Kingdom entrepreneurs.
There is an awesome alignment in process. It is an alignment that
will release the greatest move of redemption and restoration the
world has ever seen. Restoration and redemption tied to a
massive power shift: the power shift of all ages. God’s sovereignty
over His creation is being restored, His covenant confirmed and
Thinking About Unity 53
His covenant people becoming the head and not the tail. This
alignment and power shift coincide with the preparation of the
gatekeepers and administrators who understand the times and
the dynamics of this divine orchestration of restoration and
redemption that is unfolding. It is a shift in dominion. A power shift
that will incorporate new venues of resources and wealth that will
be entrusted to the hands of prepared and chosen vessels like
Joseph the Patriarch, who understand the times and will
administrate them in the accomplishment of God’s purposes for
this strategic hour.” Morris E. Ruddick, The Power Shift and

(patfrancis.org/About)
Francis explained why she chose to use the Hebrew word CHAYIL
for some of her ministries –
“CHAYIL is a Hebrew word that is rich, powerful and glorious. Its
many meanings are found in 243 references in the Bible such as:
strength, active, activated, courage, power, force, dominion, elite
army, wealth, efficiency, praiseworthy, excellence, wisdom, virtue,
moral worth, honor, ability, capable, special forces, great, mighty,
troops, host, valiant, valor, warriors, company, trained, noble,
preference, favor, full, goods, retinue, riches, substance, territory,
influence. According to Strong’s concordance its three key
meanings are power, wealth, and army and its strongest meaning
is army.” Kingdomcovenant.ca

Francis says that it’s time for a new movement on earth to overpower
current global movements of terrorism, violence, corruption, poverty,
perversion and victimization of the weak. She calls the new
movement the CHAYIL Glory Movement and says it will be an
outpouring of God’s glory “manifesting in love, hope, mercy,
goodness, power and salvation.” Francis says the seven CHAYIL
Pillars are worship, wisdom, power, honor, favor, wealth, and
influence. Francis quoted Luke 21:27 and 3:6 and Matthew 9:36-38 –
‘At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with
POWER and GREAT GLORY’ … ‘And all mankind will see God’s
salvation’ … ‘When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion
on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep
without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is
plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field’ –
“It is Harvest Time. As in the days of Moses God is declaring to
evil powers that He has come down to gather His Harvest in 3
areas: People: ‘Let my people go to worship me.’ Land: ‘I created
it, I own it, I will possess it.’ Resources: ‘It’s time for creation and

“God expects His believers, His Church, to transform society so it
reflects the values and the virtues of the kingdom of God. That is
well and good. But His Church will never be able to transform
society unless believers who make up His Church are
transformed themselves. Personal transformation is the
prerequisite for social transformation. We are set free to set
others free. We are blessed to be a blessing to others.” C. Peter
Wagner, Presiding Apostle, International Coalition of Apostles
In his book On Earth As It Is in Heaven: Answer God’s Call to
Transform the World (Chosen Books, 2012), Peter Wagner wrote this
about Francis –
“I once heard Apostle Pat Francis of Kingdom Covenant Ministries
in Toronto say that her goal is to help every member of her church
become a millionaire. She writes, ‘Their mission is to obtain
wealth with wisdom and prosperity for Kingdom purpose.” Peter
Wagner
Francis wrote an endorsement for Peter Wagner’s book The Great
Transfer of Wealth: Financial Release for Advancing God’s Kingdom
–
“The Bible describes God as the Source of wealth, the Giver of
wealth, the Controller of wealth, and the Owner of wealth. God
states emphatically, ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine’
(Haggai 2:8). Wealth is the inheritance of God’s family and is to
be used for His kingdom purpose. Purpose-driven wealth is pure

power with powerful authority. Peter Wagner’s book The Great
Transfer of Wealth will give you revelation with the practical
application to help position you for the manifest outpouring of the
glory of wealth with ‘a company’ of believing and prepared
Christians. Like Jesus, let us pray, ‘Father, the hour has come.
Glorify Your [servants], that Your [servants] also may glorify You’
(John 17:1), and prepare to be recipients and distributors of The
Great Transfer of Wealth. The time is now.” Pat Francis, Ph.D.
Founding pastor, Kingdom Covenant Ministries
Francis wrote in the Preface to her book, The Ultimate Secret, that
God wants His people to prosper –
“He led me to write this book to release the Law of Creation and
Dominion that will help you to begin to create and recreate a world
with success as He intended for all mankind, based on the five
principles of The Ultimate Secret. Instead of waiting for your
desires to come by chance, you can create them by choice once
you start exercising the Law of Creation and Dominion.” Dr. Pat
Francis
The five principles Francis writes about in The Ultimate Secret are:
The Power of Faith, The Power to Confess, The Power to Ask, The
Power to Believe, and The Power to Receive. She said the “key
principle” is that man was made in the image and likeness of God,
“Who, by the power of His spoken word, created the entire universe.”
Thinking About Unity 59
Francis also explained what she means by the “Law of Creation” and
the “Law of Dominion” –
“The Law of Creation is the ability to speak and create with words
of faith. The Law of Dominion is the authority that God has
blessed you with so that you can rule our world. God named
Himself ‘King of kings and Lord of lords.’ He has exalted you to be
His king and lord on Earth with power and dominion to develop a
great world of possibilities and societies. The words king and lord
mean ruler; mean the power and authority to control your life (your
world) for an ultimate goal. Like God, man has the ability to
control, affect change and influence his environment through what
he believes and speaks into being.” Dr. Pat Francis, Introduction
Francis spoke to the Asian Marketplace Conference in July 2009
about the “Power To Create Wealth” and talked about the “Isaac
Anointing” where he was blessed during a time of famine and
became a “millionaire” when everyone else was having famine. She
also talked about the “Jacob Anointing” where Jacob created a new
product during his crisis –
“When God anoints you in your business or in your career,
because remember Joseph did not have his own business, he
was a CEO, but wow talk about innovation and creation and
seizing the opportunities through crisis when everybody was
starving, he created products, he knew when to save, he knew
when to trade, and he became a millionaire and made the king a

billionaire. So, let’s be hopeful that with the anointing of Jesus
Christ you will live above your circumstance and create a new
world of opportunity.” Dr. Pat Francis, Kingdom Entrepreneurs

Francis Myles teaches on the “end time transfer of wealth” from
the perspective of the “Order of Melchizedek.” Myles, who says Jesus
appeared to him in his bedroom in 1989 and healed him from an
incurable disease, has written several books in the “Melchizedek”
series. The first book was The Order of Melchizedek: Rediscovering
the Eternal Priesthood of Jesus Christ and How It Affects the Church
and Marketplace! (Word and Spirit Books, 2010). Several leading
apostles in the NAR endorsed Myles’ book. Timothy Johns, Found
and Apostolic Leader of the Rock International “Tribe” in Kansas City
wrote the Foreward –
“Many followers of Christ are experiencing a divinely inspired
restless agitation directed at institutional Christianity. The Holy
Spirit is motivating a high level of discomfort to prod believers out
of the seducing influences of the Christian religion … We need
teaching and coaching on the prophetic promises of God that
describe who we are as ‘kings and priests’ in the order of
Melchizedek. Dr. Myles does a wonderful job illuminating this
amazing capacity we have to be priests, prophets, and kings who
reign with Christ, bringing His Kingdom on earth as it is in
Heaven.” Dr. Timothy Johns, Apostolic Leader, Rock International
“My covenant brother, Apostle Dr. Francis Myles, has become
one of God’s present-day custodians of the divine and
supernatural truth of The Order of Melchizedek—Rediscovering
the Eternal Priesthood of Jesus Christ and How It Affects Us
Today. I believe that the global Church is about to get the

awakening that it has never had before concerning this great
spiritual pattern. The tremendous grace and blessing that will
cover entire congregations and networks because of this
technology cannot be emphasized enough!” Dr. G.E. Bradshaw,
Presiding Apostle, Global Effect Ministries Network
“Beloved, we are living in the days of the fulfillment of the Prophet
Daniel’s prophetic vision. The stone cut without human hands
(Christ’s Kingdom) is spreading and advancing rapidly across the
nations of the world. The gospel of the Kingdom is repositioning
the church of Jesus Christ into a place of national influence and
prominence. Many born-again believers are becoming awakened
to the message of the Kingdom. They are stepping out of the
chambers of doctrinal confinement that the Christian religion
imposed upon them, and they are entering into a dynamic
Kingdom lifestyle befitting of Kingdom citizens … Under this
emerging Kingdom culture, there are no Baptist, Pentecostal,
Charismatic, or Fundamentalist Christians—just Kingdom citizens.
Under this emerging Kingdom culture, our common citizenry and
spiritual ancestry are more important than our doctrinal
differences.” Dr. Francis Myles, Chapter One

and the Kingdom Wealth Think Tank. Cook is the Convener of KEYS
and works to bring in speakers from the New Apostolic Reformation
and Christian business community. The Summit has been held for
many years and presents “new economic models and cutting-edge
strategies to empower individuals, businesses, churches and
communities to create sustainable financial transformation.”
(faithinspires.wordpress.com/) The online listing states that KEYS is
“patterned loosely after the World Economic Forum.”
Here is a statement of the purpose of the Kingdom Economic Yearly
Summit from 2008 –
“God is preparing His Bride, the Body of Christ, for unprecedented
wealth transfer. In order for that to happen, character, maturity
and in many cases brokenness must be developed and evidenced
in the lives of Christians so that we become stewards rather than
owners of the resources God has entrusted to us, and that
Mammon and Poverty have no hold on, place in, or power over
us. God is calling the Church and its marketplace leaders—both
corporately and individually—to arise from slumber and/or stupor
and become more united, connected, networked, intentional and
strategic in order to reclaim the seven societal mountains/cultural
spheres, and to exercise authority and influence over their
respective gates and gatekeepers. This process will require
Thinking About Unity 65
prayer, alignment, time, leadership, unity, integrity, holiness,
strategy, courage, wisdom, favor and finances to effect lasting
transformation. Kingdom financial models and infrastructure are
required as part of the foundation. It is a set and appointed time in
2008 for the Church to hold its first Kingdom Economic Summit,
just as the nations of the earth hold the World Economic Forum
each year. Summits are governmental gatherings where leaders
declare, decree, legislate, negotiate, set policy, plan the future,
discuss issues, enter into agreements, and form alliances and
coalitions, so this is not just another conference.
Specific Objectives of the Summit are to Cast the Vision for What
God is Doing in the Marketplace to Release, Create & Transfer
Wealth; Bring Together Marketplace Leaders to Share Current
Initiatives, Networks and Working Models; Impart Wisdom for
Wealth Building, Stewardship, Finance & Investment through
Teaching, Case Studies and Practical Strategies; Shift the Church
from Ownership to Stewardship; Break the Strangleholds of
Mammon, Poverty and the Masonic off of the Church; and Call for
a Response (Action) to Build Financial Infrastructure and

Michael Scantlebury wrote a chapter for Volume 5 titled
“Apostolic Wealth.” He is Founder and Senior Elder of Dominion-Life
International Ministries and Founding Apostle of an Apostolic Network
(KIN) Kingdom-Impact International Network (Michael Scantlebury
Amazon.com Author page).
“As we move deeper into the restoration of Apostles, the
restoration of wealth back to the house of God will become very
evident. At the beginning of the Church, in the book of Acts, we
read that money was brought and laid at the feet of the early
Apostles, and they distributed it as they saw fit. Please note that
the wealth that was laid at the Apostles’ feet was for distribution
and not for them. The Apostolic has a grace gift to attract wealth
to fulfill its God-given mandate.
Wealth has always been a turning point for most churches, either
for good or for bad, but with the restoration of the Apostles, God
will release greater clarity on how to manage wealth ... God gives
the power to get wealth. The first step to receiving power, or
ability from God to obtain or acquire wealth, is to have vision for
the wealth. The amount of wealth that existed on the earth from its
creation is still on the earth today. It has only changed its form or
switched hands over time, but it is still on the earth.
You need to have a vision that includes a strategy to transfer
some of that wealth out of the hands of the wicked, and into the
hands of the righteous (the Church). As a ‘Kingdom’ businessman
or woman, you can’t be satisfied to be in business, just to be in
Thinking About Unity 68
business. You need a large enough vision that would turn God on,
to give you the ability to achieve your goals. You need to know
where the wealth is located (which market) and come up with a
strategy to transfer that wealth.
Don’t let your present ability limit your vision. You must know
where the resources of wealth are in the earth, and devise a plan
or strategy to obtain it. God is going to help you in that. But if you
just to be in business for some other reason without having a
vision to transfer the wealth in the earth from the wrong hands into
the right hands, you are not going to trigger God’s blessing in any
major way.
Please understand that wealth is always being transferred from
one place to the next, for certain periods of time. As a result
‘Kingdom Businesses’ need to recognize certain shifts in the
market, and move with it. Your power to get wealth is only as
good as your vision or your ability to see where the wealth is.”

Rick Joyner and David Yarnes are co-founders of Kingdom
Business Association (KBA). They believe that the Church is
supposed to have the answers to the ultimate human problems –
“God named one of the two pillars in His Temple after a
businessman; the other one after a priest. We’ve got to see these
two pillars coming together.” Rick Joyner, kbabiz.com
“Sometimes we get together with other Christian leaders and
there’s a high spiritual connection, but the skill sets—the
accounting and the management, the things that make things
vital—even the topics like handling wealth and discovering new
prophetic assets in business—I think those are only found among
like-minded businessmen.” David Yarnes, kbabiz.com
“Many of us have heard of the ‘7 Mountain Mandate.’ It gives
Kingdom people a vision for stepping outside the church mountain
to reclaim other significant societal mountains such as business,
education, family, government, media, and arts/entertainment. We
are to reclaim and restore what Satan has claimed as his domain.
So how do you take the business mountain? How do you take the
land? Joshua, the leader who took the Israelites into their
promised land, gives us a prophetic picture, as recorded in
Joshua 23.
Nearing the last days of his life, Joshua calls the leaders of Israel
together. He reviews how Israel was given the Promise Land and
how it was divided among the tribes. And he reviews the promise

God made to them when they were first about to go into the land
to take it. ‘And the Lord your God will expel them from before you
and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land
as the Lord your God promised you.’ (Joshua 23:5 NKJV) Notice
he was promising an economic and wealth transfer to the
Israelites.” John Boneck, Director of the Kingdom Business
Association

Boneck interviewed apostle Todd Bentley for a KBA webinar on
the subject of “God’s Glory Releases Supernatural Wealth and
Finances.” Bentley talked about receiving a “word” from God during
an “angelic encounter” –
“I had an encounter, an angelic encounter in fact, with an angel of
finance just recently here in Charlotte and the Lord began to
speak to me again about a promise I received about how His glory
was going to come. I ended up talking with Bob Jones about it—
Bob Jones is going to be a guest, Rick Joyner as well—and Bob
said he too had an angelic encounter with angel called the
‘international banker’ … Now is the time that God wants to release
that angelic realm that controls the finances, not just for business
and the kingdom but the nations.” Todd Bentley, KBABIZ Webinar
Bentley then quoted from Isaiah 45 where God promises He will give
to His anointed the “treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of
secret places that you may know that I the Lord and am the God of
Israel” –
“I believe that it’s time to see God give us the hidden riches of
secret place. It’s time for God to give us the treasures of darkness
and that’s always been the promise. And we have some specific
promises about debt cancellation, financial breakthrough and how
when the glory of God comes … the word ‘glory’ translated
literally means ‘wealth, riches, honor, treasure, favor’ … When

Raymond and Deborah Larson wrote SHIFT- The Transfer of
Wealth in 2011 (7 Degrees) –
“Critical Mass is in full motion and a collision of value systems will
occur between the Kingdom of God and the current world
systems. May I propose that the prayers of the Saints filling into
heaven's bowl is overflowing before the throne, demanding the
attention of Heaven. God is compelled to respond to the weight of
prayer before Him, that will tip the scales on behalf of His Bride.
The Transfer of Wealth is stored up for the Body of Christ. There
is a 'Shift' in the air, a transition is occurring, and the good news; It
has already began! The Father is challenging His bride to step
into the power and the provision from Heaven's storehouse that
will motivate you to take the step of faith He is asking of this
generation. You will be astounded how easy Dominion, Authority,
and Favor flow when fulfilling Biblical principles and following the
Spirit. We are In the middle of an unprecedented release of His
glory, His presence, and His storehouse of abundance. It's not
when its occurring, it's all about what part you will play in this
release for the Kingdom!” Raymond Larson, Description

“With a mandate from Heaven to combine the Kingly and Priestly
anointing, 7 Degrees and its network of business and ministry
relationships are passionate to bring change to a world at the
crossroads. Never in history has there been a perfect storm
waiting for the emergence of God as there is today … Christ
followers must succeed in the public arena as a platform for
spreading the gospel. First by the lifestyle and character they
model in daily life, but as well, as they prosper it opens the door to
share the life within. As that prospering grows God allows
influence to increase and from that produces cultural
transformation.” Rlarson2day.wordpress.com
Larson believes the Church is about to embark on a “new diaspora” –
“In Acts 8 the church was enjoying great blessing however, they
pretty much confined themselves to Israel. In a majestic
maneuver by the Holy Spirit they were “thrusted” out to other
cities and nations it was called the great ‘diaspora.’ Since 312 AD
we have shifted from going out, to gathering. Oh we go out by
special evangelistic outreaches done by a few. However, there is
not a sense of daily strategizing on how to reach people daily with
all of Christ’s followers desiring to win souls and change cities.
There is a new great ‘diaspora’ coming, but it will not be a sending
forth into other countries only. This movement will thrust believers
from out of the four walls of the organized church back into the

Wanda Hodge Keller is retired from the banking industry and
wrote the book Hidden Treasures – Getting into the Vault in 2015
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform) from the perspective
of both a former banker and a Christian involved in ministry –
“One Sunday evening at my church, during a back-to-school
service for students and teachers, God began showing me fresh
insights about the vault and banking system and how it related to
His Kingdom. I had just thought I understood what God had been
showing me all along, and again, my overactive imagination has
been staggered.
I feel this book is about God’s timing in these last days. God longs
for His body of believers to have the things He placed in the earth
when He created it. He would not have deposited wealth into the
planet earth if he had not intended for His beloved, His Kingdom,
to possess it.
God’s timing is critical. He does things at precise moments. This
is your moment; this is your time. God wants to use you to release
into the atmosphere of heaven, the things which are needed for
His Kingdom to arise to the fullness of our potential.” Wanda

Myles Munroe, founder of Bahamas Faith Ministries International,
wrote Kingdom Principles: Preparing for Kingdom Experience and
Expansion (Destiny Image Publishers) in 2006. Munroe wrote that
God gave the first man a “kingdom” (dominion) and is the kingdom
mandate that “validates man’s desire for power.” Munroe added that
man’s failure through disobedience resulted in the loss of his
“kingdom mandate, his gift of divine power … Therefore, mankind’s
search is not for a religion or for Heaven, but for his kingdom. This is
why religion can never satisfy the deep hunger in the heart of man …
The hunger of the human heart is for the lost kingdom.” (Kingdom
Principles, Introduction)
Munroe, who died in a plane crash in 2014, believed that Christians
have misunderstood Jesus Christ, “and, therefore, misrepresented
Him the most” –
“A careful and honest look at the biblical Script will reveal that the
fundamental message of this greatly misunderstood Book is about
a King and a Kingdom. The Bible is not primarily about a religion
or rituals, but about the establishment of a kingdom rulership on
this planet from the heavenly realm. It is about a divine project of
governing earth from Heaven through mankind. In practical terms,
the Bible is about a royal family mandated to colonize earth from
Heaven. The kingdom assignment is the priority of God the
Creator and the object of mankind’s inherent pursuit.”
Thinking About Unity 78
The publisher’s description of Munroe’s book states that “the
Kingdom of God is the true message of the Gospel and the only
message that Jesus preached.” Munroe taught that as “Kingdom
citizens and children of the King, we too are kings.” Based on that
principle of Christians being kings, Munroe developed a series of
Kingdom principles called “Five Reasons To Give” –
1. If we all are kings, then we should give to each other.
2. When we give to the Body, we give to Christ the King.
3. Every time we meet one another, giving should be automatic.
4. The wise men knew there was a greater King on earth. That is
why they brought Him gifts and worshiped Him. He is still on
earth—in the hearts and lives of His citizens. So whenever we
give, we do so as if giving to Him.
5. When you give to a king, you make a demand on what he
possesses. Giving begets giving. When we give to the King of
Heaven, we obligate Him to give in return. This is not a
presumptuous statement but the expression of a principle He
established. When we give, He gives; when we withhold, He
withholds.
Here is an expansion on those principles about giving from Munroe’s
book –
1. Giving is a fundamental principle of the Kingdom of Heaven
2. God is a giver
3. The power of kings is displayed in their wealth
Thinking About Unity 79
4. The purpose for a king’s wealth is to secure his reputation—his
glory
5. The glory of a king is his power to out-give another king
6. Giving places a demand on the king’s wealth
7. Giving requires a response from the king
8. Giving to a king attracts his wealth to the giver
9. Royal protocol requires that a gift must be presented when
visiting a king
10. The gift must be fitting for the king
11. The gift reveals our value or “worth-ship” of the king
12. Worship demands a gift and giving is worship
13. Giving to a king attracts his favor
14. Giving to a king acknowledges his ownership of
everything
15. Giving to a king is thanksgiving
16. Giving begets giving
17. Giving activates royal obligation
18. Give Him your life and receive His life

Chuck Pierce with Glory of Zion International Ministries wrote
about the Transfer Wealth for Harvest –
“THE TRANSFERENCE OF WEALTH.
In Deuteronomy 8:18 we find: "And you shall remember the Lord
your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth that He
may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers." He
spoke this to them as He prepared a people to get ready to go
into the land He promised. He knew they would be in spiritual war
with the god of Mammon. When you study Canaanite history, you
find that the ruling god of the Canaanites was Mammon. You also
find the Lord waited 470 years for a corporate people that could
go into the covenant boundaries that He had established with
Abraham and unlock all the inheritance within those boundaries.
Now here is a generation that He is releasing to appropriate all
the promises He had spoken. The assignment or mission that
Joshua and the tribes of Israel had to accomplish was
transference of the wealth from all of the inhabitants of that region
into God's covenant, Kingdom plan. Therefore, the god of
Mammon had to be defeated and the wealth held by its false
worship transferred.
Thinking About Unity 81
WHAT IS THE WEALTH?
There are several ways to look at wealth in the Bible. However,
the Lord tells us in Deuteronomy 8:18, ‘it is He who gives you
power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant that He
swore to your fathers .’ Power means vigor, strength, force, or
capacity -- whether physical, mental or spiritual. Wealth means
material substance, strength, and the spoils of war necessary to
accomplish God's plan on earth. The Bible has two basic attitudes
to wealth. Wealth is acknowledged to be a blessing from God. All
the patriarchs became very wealthy. Solomon's wealth was seen
as God's favor. Job had wealth, lost it, and then regained a
double portion. Jesus also admonished us to multiply whatever
we have (Luke 19). However, He did warn us that the pursuit of
riches and pleasure could keep our faith from maturing. Jesus
viewed money or wealth as a spiritual power (Matt. 6:24),
therefore warning us not to let it become a rival with God. The
issue of wealth should only be for the advancement of God's
Kingdom. With one of the greatest spiritual Harvests ever
witnessed by a generation on earth approaching, we need to
begin seeing a transfer of wealth just as we read about in the
book of Joshua. This is a season in history where wealth needs to
be channeled into ministries that serve people and spread the
Gospel.
Thinking About Unity 82
HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE HARVEST?
I really believe there are three main issues: apostolic authority,
apostolic people, and strategic intimate prophetic intercession.
Joshua and God's covenant people had to gain daily strategy over
how to advance and "possess" God's promised inheritance to
Abraham. In other words, if they were going up against a city or
people, they had to get their instructions from the Lord over how
to take the spoils of war. This is a type and principle of harvest.
Within every field on earth, there is a harvest. When you study
harvest in the Bible, you find that there was a short window of
opportunity to gather the crops of the field. I believe we are
entering into that window of opportunity and must begin to pray
accordingly. When there is a people that understand God's
apostolic authority and gifting and know how to advance in
strategic warfare with revelation they can unlock the Harvest fields
that are held by the enemy. The word apostle means, "One sent
to accomplish a mission." I believe this is our mission this hour.”

Bishop Bill Hamon has been involved with the apostolic
ministry for more than 60 years. Hamon declared that the Holy
Spirit had chosen 2008 as the beginning of the “third and final
apostolic reformation” which would include a great transfer of
wealth to the Church “for kingdom purposes” –
“The Lord Jesus has revealed by His Spirit some insight and
application concerning His timely purpose being activated in 2008.
I have been prophesying for 10 years that a "Saints Movement" is
coming to the Body of Christ. The Saints Movement is a time
when the saints, believers in Jesus Christ, recognize and act on
the understanding that Christ has empowered and commissioned
each of them to be the Church 24/7--manifesting the Kingdom of
God wherever they live and work. Every believer has the ability to
manifest the supernatural in a miraculous way, and every saint is
called to demonstrate the Gospel of the Kingdom (not just the
Gospel of salvation) in their sphere of influence.
In my book, The Day of the Saints, I prophesied what would be
many of the truths and ministries of the Saints Movement. Some
of these include: every saint manifesting the supernatural;
ministers in the marketplace and in all arenas of society; saints
becoming the Church 24/7; and people of all ages becoming
activated as ministers for Christ. In the last several years, we
have seen these things happening in the Body of Christ, such as
through the increased emphasis of signs, wonders and miracles
Thinking About Unity 84
and of ministry in the marketplace (sometimes called the "Faith at
Work" Movement or other similar terms).
Now in 2008, God has brought new revelation and application.
The Saints Movement is the catalyst to launch the Church into the
Third and final Apostolic Reformation. The First Apostolic
Reformation occurred in the 1st century with the launching of the
era of the New Testament Church. The Second Apostolic
Reformation, which is known to historians as the Reformation,
transitioned the Church from the "Dark Ages" to beginning the
period of the restoration of the Church (see Acts 3:21).
This Reformation will bring about a paradigm shift in the goal and
purpose of the Church. Most Evangelical and Pentecostal
theologians see no purpose for the Church other than to win more
souls to Christ so they are made ready for Heaven. Now we are
receiving revolutionary, reformed thinking from the heart and mind
of God. The expanded goal and vision of the Third Reformation
Church is to co-labor with Christ in His passionate desire for the
fulfillment of Revelation 11:15:
"...there were loud voices in Heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of
His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'"
The First Apostolic Reformation and purpose of God was for
Jesus to shed His life's Blood for the salvation of sinners. God
was in Christ Jesus reconciling the world unto Himself by
Thinking About Unity 85
purchasing them with His Blood and making them members of His
Body of Christ, the Church.
God's Second Apostolic Reformation and purpose was to restore
and build His Church to the full maturity and ministry of Christ
Jesus. This is accomplished through Christ's fivefold ministers, of
which the last two, prophets and apostles, were restored to
recognition and began fully ministering during the Prophetic-
Apostolic Movement, from 1988 to the present. Apostles and
prophets have existed throughout Church history but often weren't
recognized or allowed to fully function. The fivefold ministers are
for the purpose of equipping the saints to demonstrate Christ's
Kingdom--the Saints Movement.
Christ's Third Apostolic Reformation and purpose is to use His
restored Church to fulfill God's original mandate to mankind--
subdue all things, take dominion and fill the earth with a mankind
race in God's own image and likeness, bring more and more of
God's Kingdom and will to earth, and transform nations into sheep
nations (those who do the works of Christ. See Matthew 25:31-
46). This is the end result of the saints taking the Gospel of the
Kingdom into every aspect of society.
2008 is the year of new beginnings. It is the beginning of the new
Third and final Apostolic Reformation. This Third Reformation will
bring as much transition and fulfilling of God's purpose as the First
and Second Reformation did. We have been prophesying and
Thinking About Unity 86
interceding about this shift for many years. It is with firm
conviction that I believe this is now the time for it to fully be
underway. Whenever a move of God occurs, there is much action
and anticipation ahead of time, during the "birthing" process, and
even greater activity afterwards. In later years, historians pick a
date they consider to be the "official" start of that new move. Many
currents were headed toward Reformation prior to the year 1517,
and several key things happened after that date, but 1517 is the
year chosen by historians to signal the beginning of that major
move.
I believe and am declaring that 2008 is God's set time for the full
release of the Third Reformation. At Christian International, we
saw a birthing of the Saints Movement at our Watchman
Intercessor Conference in April 2007, as prophesied by Cindy
Jacobs, one of the speakers that week. I witnessed to that word
and was glad we have finally seen it. It coincides with one
interpretation of the 490 years (70 weeks x 7 days per week =
490, with each day symbolizing a year) that Daniel prophesied
concerning the time period to the coming of the Messiah and
ushering in the Church (see Daniel 9). Many believe this is also
the period of time from the beginning of the restoration of the
Church to the time when all presently restored truth and ministries
would be activated into fulfilling God's end time purpose.
Thinking About Unity 87
Church historians designated the year 1517 as the birth date of
the Protestant Movement, which was the beginning of the period
of Church restoration. AD 1517 + 490 years = AD 2007. This time
period covers all the restoration movements from the Protestant
Movement through the present Prophetic-Apostolic Movement to
the birthing of the Saints Movement in 2007. Others may have
their own views on interpreting this Scripture, but I believe it is
clear that God's Spirit is saying this is a very significant time.
In 2008, God is releasing special supernatural grace and power to
those who are willing and ready for Church Reformation. They
will be those who demonstrate the Kingdom of God for the transformation of nations. Expect to hear much preaching
and see many books being written on the saints taking
dominion, the Kingdom of God, transformation, wealth for
Kingdom purposes, the Third and final Apostolic Reformation, and
God's purpose for His Church, His Kingdom and planet earth.
All of the hundreds of apostles and prophets that I know around
the world are sensing and saying the same thing, although some
may use different terminology to express these things. I cannot
emphasize enough the importance of understanding and
participating in the major transition and new thrust of the Holy
Spirit taking place in the Church today. As the leader of Christian
International, we are gathering our leaders and ministers in early
March (open to all) to strategize how to best position ourselves to
Thinking About Unity 88
cooperate with this great move of God, and I encourage others to
do the same.
I want to add a word of wisdom to all who read this. All
Christendom, from Catholics to Charismatics, believe in the
second coming of Christ--when He will translate the bodies of the
living saints and resurrect the bodies of those who have died. The
a-millennialists and post-millennialists believe this all happens at
one coming of Christ at the end of the Church Age. The
dispensational pre-millennialists believe in two comings, one for
the Church and one for the general resurrection, and then the
great white throne judgment.
Most see a seven-year period between Christ coming FOR the
saints and Christ Jesus coming back WITH the saints. Some
believe the Church will be resurrected and translated to Heaven at
the beginning of those seven years, some believe it will happen
three and a half years later, and some believe it will occur at the
end. The wonderful and amazing thing is all of them teach that the
saints are coming back to join the reign of Christ's Kingdom over
all the earth. Regardless of the different eschatological beliefs, all
Christians will end up back on the new earth, where all the
kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our Lord and His
Christ.
Thinking About Unity 89
Those whom Jesus has made kings and priests unto God shall be
the overcomers who reign with Christ on the earth. Please do not
get stuck arguing and debating over what will happen during the
seven years. Let us set our vision and goal beyond those seven
years to Revelation 11:15. It is the time to give all of our life
and labor to be co-workers together with Christ in demonstrating and enforcing His Kingdom in all the
earth. We will not cease until we can join the voices in Heaven
victoriously, declaring that the kingdoms of this world have
become the Kingdoms of our Lord Jesus and His anointed one,
the Church.
2008 is a historical time for the Church. Be an overcomer and
make the transition. Allow nothing to keep you from being a
participant in this day of divine visitation and reformation. Begin
now to earnestly pray, prepare and work for God's Kingdom to
come, and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen
and Amen.”

Os Hillman with Marketplace Leaders and has written extensively
about the end time transfer of wealth and how Christians can “be on
the correct side of the wealth transfer equation in Proverbs 13:22” –
(marketplaceleaders.org/jubiliee-conference)
The Coming Wealth Transfer
‘But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.’
Proverbs 13:22, NKJV
In the last days there will be a transfer of wealth into the hands of
the righteous for the purpose of funding a great harvest of souls
and for believers to have greater influence on society in the name
of Christ. This will happen in at least four ways.
(1) Supernatural transfer. Like the Israelites leaving Egypt,
Christians and non-profit organizations will receive major gifts
from individuals or foundations to carry out their Christian
mission. In 2004, the Salvation Army received one of the
largest gifts for Christian ministry: $1.5 billion from Joan Kroc,
the now-deceased wife of the founder of McDonalds.
(2) Power to make wealth. God is going to inspire believers
throughout the world with clever inventions that will generate
wealth. This phenomenon has already begun: ‘But remember
the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to
produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore
to your forefathers, as it is today’ (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Thinking About Unity 91
(3) Social entrepreneurship. Just as Joseph was entrusted with
the resources of Egypt to solve a societal problem, God is
going to transfer money to believers who are solving societal
problem. God will fund private enterprises because the
government alone is not able to solve society’s many crises.
(4) Wealthy individual ‘conversions.’ Finally, many wealthy non-
believers will become Christians in these last days and will
begin to use their wealth for Kingdom purposes.
The transfer of wealth is designed to accelerate God’s activity on
the earth, not to make believers wealthy. Pray that God uses your
work to accelerate His kingdom on earth. And pray that God
raises up good stewards of the wealth He will pour out.” TGIF:

Thinking About Unity 92
Why Transfer the Wealth?
The leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation are in agreement that
God will soon transfer the wealth of the wicked to the righteous.
Estimates of how much wealth range from the tens of trillions to
hundreds of trillions of dollars. Many in the NAR believe God is doing
that now. Why? The stated purposes for this end time transfer of
wealth, according to the leaders quoted above, include:
1. “to accelerate God’s activity on the earth”
2. “breaking the spirit of poverty”
3. “so the work of the kingdom of God could be accomplished”
4. “we will usher in the coming of the Messiah”
5. “for the preaching of the Gospel, for the financing of the end-
time harvest”
6. “not only for us to save souls, but also, more broadly, to
transform society”
7. “God’s will being accomplished on earth as it is in heaven”
8. “to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission of discipling the nations”
9. “The Lord wants His kingdom to come and His will to be done
on earth, as it is in heaven, so He offers His people access to
lavish supernatural resources “
10. “for the advance of His kingdom, namely through
evangelism, church planting, caring for the poor, and
transforming society”
Thinking About Unity 93
11. “we will be positioned to help facilitate The Great Transfer
of Wealth, which will lead to the greatest harvest of souls the
world has ever seen”
12. “it will bring about societal transformation”
13. “God needs wealth for the execution of the divine
programme. For example, the preaching of the gospel cannot
be successfully carried out without money”
14. “To let us know that the medium of exchange to ensure
the blessings from God to our lives is important to him, whether
it is cattle, livestock, grain, oil, wine, or money”
15. “To encourage us that His will is to bless us”
16. To teach us about the things He has done so that we
will erect spiritual memorials to His glory
17. “To TEACH us principles from the lives of great men of
God of the past that translate to power for us to receive in our
present life”
18. “that we might use mammon for the glory of God, to
preach the Gospel to the far reaches of the earth”
19. “huge crusades being conducted with mass miracles
taking place. And I see them being televised throughout the
nations of the world, causing a witness so big, so powerful,
that it will capture the attention of nations with the message
that Jesus saves, heals, and delivers”
20. “as our needs are met—as finances, resources, and
workers are in place—we can send out the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to all the nations as a witness”
Thinking About Unity 94
21. “We will be people who will be listened to for God, and
most importantly, the message of Jesus Christ will be
received”
22. “a whole company of believers who will rise up with the
authority that is theirs, and they will do the work that God
intended they should do”
23. “This dynamic will serve as a catalyst for unfolding a
level of redemption and Kingdom restoration that will be
unlike anything seen in recent times”
24. “it will be an outpouring of God’s glory ‘manifesting in
love, hope, mercy, goodness, power and salvation”
25. “to transform society so it reflects the values and the
virtues of the kingdom of God. That is well and good”
26. “Wealth is the inheritance of God’s family and is to be
used for His kingdom purpose. Purpose-driven wealth is pure
power with powerful authority”
27. “to begin to create and recreate a world with success as
He intended for all mankind”
28. “The Apostolic has a grace gift to attract wealth to fulfill
its God-given mandate”
29. “As that prospering grows God allows influence to
increase and from that produces cultural transformation”
30. “God wants to use you to release into the atmosphere of
heaven, the things which are needed for His Kingdom to arise
to the fullness of our potential”
Thinking About Unity 95
31. “This is a season in history where wealth needs to be
channeled into ministries that serve people and spread the
Gospel”
32. “When there is a people that understand God's apostolic
authority and gifting and know how to advance in strategic
warfare with revelation they can unlock the Harvest fields that
are held by the enemy”
33. “to fulfill God's original mandate to mankind--subdue all
things, take dominion and fill the earth with a mankind race in
God's own image and likeness, bring more and more of God's
Kingdom and will to earth, and transform nations into sheep
nations “
34. “to reclaim the seven societal mountains/cultural
spheres, and to exercise authority and influence over their
respective gates and gatekeepers”
In the next part of our research into the New Apostolic Reformation,
we will look at the process of Reclaiming the Seven Mountains of
society and culture.
