How Pursuing God Trumps the
Pursuit of Riches – Every time!
7 Ancient Paths to Wealth, Wisdom & the Wonder of God
(The RainCatcher’s Secret)
“But God” I asked, “How am I ever going to get out of this financial hole?”
“Pursue Me”, the Lord responded simply.
“But God, I thought I had been doing that and look at the difficulty I’m in now. What do you mean, ‘Pursue Me’?”
“Pursue Me” the Lord answered again.
I was frustrated. I wanted a list of things to do. God wanted me.
“But how do I pursue You? I obviously haven’t been doing that very well. Would you please explain that?”
The Lord answered a third and final time with an authority I knew not to question further. “Pursue ME.”
With That, I Purposed to Rise Each Morning and Pursue God like Never Before
My wife and I had just returned from Guatemala where we had the best and worst experience of our life. The best because of the harvest of souls and seeing God manifest Himself mightily and the worst because we took a terrible financial beating.
I was in desperate need of answers and all God would tell me is to pursue Him. If that’s all He tells you, you best be doing it! For me, it meant abandoning my idea of twenty minutes of quiet time each day. Instead, I would read my Bible and pray - until… Until His presence showed up and until, that same presence lifted. I found out that He was always glad to meet me in the morning and never in a hurry to leave. My quiet times were never less than an hour, usually lasted for two or three hours and it was not rare for it to go four or five hours. If God showed up, I was not about to leave.
We had only $300 cash…
Our credit line was exhausted and there was no more room on our credit cards. With no work lined up, we were in desperate straits. The first thing God dealt with me on was covetousness. The sin Paul compares to idolatry. Not very pretty. I was stricken with grief and the first thing we did was take the $300 we had left and wired it to a widow and orphan we had met in Guatemala.
Within days, God had impressed upon folks to help us out with some cash and we went to Dallas where we met with Chuck Pierce for breakfast. His prophetic word for us was one of the goads we stood upon to climb out of the pit. Then an old friend called from Canada announcing that he had been praying and the Holy Spirit told him to contact me. He wanted some business counsel and asked my fee. I told him if the Holy Spirit told him to call, He could also tell him what to pay. He received my counsel and as it turns out, God was quite generous.
As I kept pursuing God, He kept revealing mysteries to me.
While I pursued Him and grew in Him, He also brought me a steady stream of unbelievable opportunities for book deals, television production, favor with national ministries, etc and a steady, growing stream of professional clients. It has been 13 years and the stream has never shut off and I’ve never had to look for another client or opportunity since. I quit trying to be the rainmaker and simply followed the cloud of God and became a professional
raincatcher and it has made all the difference!
Perhaps the most profound mystery I learned during this season was from the Tabernacle of Moses. I had always seen it as a foreshadowing of God’s plan of salvation but now I learned to glean additional lessons from that sacred pattern that could be applied to business or life in general.
What I discovered liberated me from performance-driven behavior and left me seated at the feet of Jesus being taught by God through His Word how to profit (among other things) using seven powerful lessons from the Tabernacle of Moses to poll vault me further than I had ever gone in the world of business. Just one of the lessons, The Power of the Threefold Blessing revealed throughout Scripture will open your eyes to dimensions you may never have dreamed possible.
The richest and wisest man that ever lived, Solomon, warns us in Proverbs 23:5 “Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Who are we to think we know better? If you are still pursuing riches, you have come to the wrong place - unless you are wanting to change.
My Focus Was Wrong…
I spent too many years believing Matthew 6:33 (”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.”) but
practicing the pursuit of riches. I would read the Scriptures looking for His wisdom, but at the end of the day, I had spent all my time pursuing the things He promised to add to my life instead of
letting Him do the adding. What was sad is that
I didn’t realize I was doing that until I took a financial hit on our Guatemala trip and was left with large bills and zero cash reserves. (God knows how to get your attention!)
With no options open to me, I began to pursue God like never before and during that time, He revealed much to me from the wealth of His Word. Perhaps the most impacting for me was the whole idea of pursuing God much like the children of Israel followed the cloud in the wilderness. As long as they followed the cloud, they had provision enough.
It was then that I saw it! The Tabernacle of Moses was not only a picture of salvation through Christ, but the lessons modeled in the Outer Court, Inner Court and Holy of Holies could be
applied powerfully to every area of life, including business! Let me explain a bit…
Have You Discovered The Power of the Threefold Blessing?
“Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?”
The word translated “excellent” is the Hebrew word “shaliysh” or “threefold”. God reveals many truths in threefold expressions or in three levels and they correspond with the threefold progression found in the Tabernacle of Moses. Take a look at just a few examples…
| natural light | candle light | supernatural light |
| passover | pentecost | tabernacles |
| Holy Spirit | Son | Father |
| little children | young men | fathers |
| way | truth | life |
| knowledge | wisdom | understanding |
| milk of the word | bread of the word | meat of the word |
| 30-fold | 60-fold | 100-fold |
| walk | run | soar |
| servant | friend | joint-heir |
| acts of God | ways of God | mind of Christ |
| body | soul | spirit |
| faith | hope | love |
| thanksgiving | praise | worship |
| justification | sanctification | glorification |
| pursue | overtake | recover all |
| prophet | priest | king |
Level One
The threefold blessing begins with lessons learned in the Outer Court at the altar where we learn six sacrifices essential for
building character. Without character we cannot be trusted with wealth. “If we cannot be trusted with unrighteous mammon, who will trust us with true riches?” (Luke 16:11) With character we must add
competence. At the brass wash basin, we discover seven areas of preparation necessary for developing competence and handling responsibility. Without preparation, we miss our opportunities.
Level Two
The threefold blessing gets strategic and is revelational in nature. Gleaning from the golden lampstand, the bread and the altar of incense, you will learn how to
settle your calling, develop a plan and pray with precision and authority to fulfill your calling.
Level Three
The threefold blessing is derived from the ark of the covenant which was carried into battle and was covered with a seat of mercy.
This is the level of the supernatural. Whereas the outer court was illuminated by natural light and speaks of the thirty fold increase and the inner court was illuminated by candle light and speaks of the sixty-fold increase available by revelation, the Holy of Holies was illuminated by the
presence of God and speaks of the 100-fold increase. Stepping into this realm requires faith and perseverance through the battles. In these last two CDs you will learn the Seven Laws of Faith as modeled by the mustard seed and the seven battles you must win as revealed in the book of Hebrews.
To Say These Lessons Have Helped me Greatly
in Business Would be a Vast Understatement.
The Outer Court lessons taught me about systems, diligence and the painful process of
character development without which I could not be trusted with more. The Inner Court lessons gave me great
strategies for business based on the illumination of the Holy Spirit upon the Word of God. It was here that I learned the Negotiating Secrets of the Apostle Paul and the Moses Questioning Strategy. It was here I learned a marketing strategy borrowed from Isaiah.
The returns have been immeasurable!
The battles fought and won based on lessons learned from the Holy of Holies will knock your socks off! You will hear how myself and others have stepped into that highest of levels and watched God perform the miraculous. In one case, drawing hundreds of seminar participants to an event that looked doomed to fail while I simply lay on the floor and worshiped God.
Now here comes the sensitive part…
Every once in a while, people take issue with our selling of this valuable information. They believe we should offer it for free, that you shouldn’t sell the Word of God, etc.
Here’s the truth… God gives His Word freely, but the
printer charges for the ink and paper. With CDs we not only have
duplication costs and graphics costs and packaging costs and storage
costs, but we also have administrative costs, website costs, email
costs, etc. So while it is absolutely necessary to be reimbursed for our labor (the laborer is worthy of his hire), we are going to make you an incredible offer you won’t want to refuse.
The First 500 Sets Free -- Here's How…
This series consists of seven hours of audio CD coaching, PLUS a full PowerPoint presentation on CD. If we charged what it was worth, it would literally be in the
thousands of dollars. I know because I have paid thousands of dollars for information products in the past and this is so much better!
Now I am going to do something
we have never done before and don’t know if we will ever repeat…
