We discuss what has been unfolding in the financial markets since the end of last year through the election and inauguration cycle.

If you are interested or have questions about the New Breed of Business perspective on the Stock Market, you can access these 2 previous podcast:

Ever heard of “don’t fight the Fed”? Well, we could now say, “don’t fight Trump.” The reasons for the market going higher post election are loosely founded on profit growth optimism of a Trump administration. But the short-term trading reality has more to do with the momentum behind “meme-stock” Trumpian Robinhood investors and the Wall Street Bets – Reddit crowd. Which institutional investors might say: don’t sell/short for fundamental reasons, because the FoMo (Fear of Missing out) crowd-speculation and “going to the moon” hype-train is going to run you over.

Ok, so as fundamental reality started to set-in we saw a market pull back in January. Only to rebound again leading up to the Inauguration.

Why are valuations difficult at these levels? It’s because the average PE (Price – forward Earnings) ratio of the market is at the top of historical range (roughly 22x for S&P 500). As well as expected earnings growth is quite high year over year for this year and next (roughly 15% expected growth for the entire S&P 500 in 2025 and 14% in 2026).

John Maynard Keynes’ “Animal Spirits” (The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money 1936) are again being quoted with more frequency in the press, because there is no other way of explaining many company’s valuations other than naked greed. Underscoring a new period of “irrational exuberance” to quote former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan.

Also worth understanding is the “value” of Stocks vs. Bonds. Meaning investing in treasury bonds (according to the chart above) has an identical yield to stocks at these valuations – yet worth noting that treasuries by definition are considered the “risk-free” rate of return. Interpreted: stocks are so expensive right now, there is no additional yield for the additional risk you are taking (future interest payments from the US government are more likely than forecasted future earnings of any given company). As you can see from this chart, the last time this “up-side down” situation happened was when the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s.

Bond sell-off and a yield curve steepening have led to higher mortgage rates and lower expectations of the Fed cutting rates. While the most recent CPI reading came in at expectations, it is still historically high (3.2% core) and we are running into a new reality of high (3%+) inflation which has stubbornly resisted Fed rate hikes (think famously of Paul Volker’s rate hikes to 20% killing inflation in the early 80s). The Fed has continued to state 2% as its inflation goal, but we haven’t seen that since pre-pandemic and no one is offering up any new solutions for how to get it down. Instead it has been we need to wait-and-see.

As Pres Trump wants to stoke economic growth, watch for renewed calls and saber rattling for Jerome Powell to lower rates. This could backfire into higher inflation, even hyperinflation.

Trump is threatening new tariffs on friends (Mexico and Canada) and foes (China). Is he bluffing? No one knows exactly what will happen and when. The financial markets are taking bets…

Elon Musk wants to buy TikTok, but congress scheduled shutting it down given the China spying threat. But, Pres Trump just issued an executive order suspending enforcement of the ban for 75 days. Is it even possible to override already-passed legislation?

Did you know that President Trump created his own crypto currency? Yep. Much like Truth Social taking advantage of his reelection, President Trump, his business empire and his family have harnessed the Trump induced Crypto frenzy by issuing their own “meme-coin.” Smart business move or conflict of interest?

What a meme-coin you ask? Well, like a “meme-stock”, it is designed for the masses of followers of Trump to “invest” in Trump and Trump’s variant of crypto currency, which essentially has a gold-rush mentality of getting in early. It’s going to the moon because Trump is making crypto great! “$Trump” is the name (lol). Not joking. $Melania is the other.

This is a bit like “DogeCoin” if you are familiar with it.

Is this another warning sign of the BOJ potentially raising rates prematurely? Is it global inflation that is neutralizing deflation in Japan? Or is it true economic recovery? We haven’t seen rates this high in Japan since the previous financial crisis 2008.

Also fueling the drive to raise rates is that the Yen is weakening once more to intervention levels. Read relevant Bloomberg article here.

We discuss.

We are in uncharted territory in terms of debt levels, tariff levels, equities valuation levels and crypto speculation.

If you believe that President Trump will carry the US economy and financial markets to new and unprecedented heights (a “golden age”), you buy and/or hold stocks and crypto.

If you believe markets are priced for perfection or are over-hyped, and we are in at best a period of reprieve or at worst might be headed for troubled waters, you “take some money off the table” or sell.

If you believe more in God’s economy than Babylon’s economy, and you are more interested in helping people than profiting from them – and if you want to advance the Kingdom of God on the earth, consider the Storehouse Vision as an alternative Biblical way of investing to the financial markets and traditional investing.

And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?

We are in the works of launching a monthly Storehouse Briefing and Q&A, hosted by the Storehouse leadership team, so Stay Tuned for that.

The Storehouse Vision is liken to the parable of the Minas, Luke 19…

Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

“And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

“Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

“And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’ (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”

Luke 19:11-27

We discuss the worldwide supply-chain, and how shipping and ports around the world affect it and China’s growing influence and aggressive agenda. Last week, President Trump rattled leaders all over the world at his Mar-a-Lago press conference where he alluded to taking back the Panama Canal.

We will discuss who owns, operates, controls aspects of the Panama Canal, including the roles of Hong Kong based Hutchinson on both ends of the canal and how China does influence and could infiltrate the canal for economic and military advantage.

Joining our panel are our distinguished guests, Jacqueline Wiese from Global Family Prayer (Panama) as well as Lucieanne Sawyer and Sue Abrahamson from Rea International (Portland, OR). Each brings a unique perspective on global shipping matters, especially including prayer.

Jacque Wiese with Panama President Ernesto Perez Balladares

This picture is from the transfer of Rodman Naval Station in the Pacific in March 1999. I was not only part of a group of three who were in charge of closing and transferring the base, but also was in charge of organizing and executing the transfer ceremony with my counterpart at the office of the President.

Jacque’s son made this video last Tuesday (Jan 2025).  You can see the Port of Balboa run by Hutchinson since 1997.  Their concession was extended in 2021 for 25 years. Ports in Panama belong to the country. Companies compete to manage them.

Born and raised in Colombia, South America, as a nominal Catholic. Graduated with a degree in Education, immigrated to the United States, earned her MBA and started a family.

Moved with her husband to Panama where she worked for the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Southern Command Treaty Implementation Office as a Treaty Officer in charge of transferring Lands and Waters to Panama in accordance with the Panama Canal Treaty. Jacque was also part, as a simultaneous interpreter, of the Free Trade Agreement negotiation between Panama and China.

Passionate about God, His Word, Israel and the coming of the Lord’s Kingdom on earth.

Sue and Lucienne are seen here with her daughter Cari. The other person is former Coast Guard who served aboard the ship behind us. We had been asked to pray and teach on the ancient world including the Native myths. We prayed over the issues of our ports and the Panama Canal at the mouth of the Columbia. Our story of understanding the shipping lanes began many years ago.

Other photos will show the line of ships, and in one an ancient wreck for which there are hundreds in the most dangerous bar crossings in the world. It is called the grave of the Pacific.

Join us as Grant and Gregg speak with Arni Klein in the land to gain a fresh perspective on what is happening in Israel, especially the spiritual battle over Jerusalem.

Arni and Yonit

Grant and Arni have been friends for over 35 years and met at One Accord Fellowship in NYC, the first Church Grant was connected to. Later on, they managed the Jewish ministry at Times Square Church together with other leaders.

Most important, they discovered the greater depths of prayer and intercession at TSC needed to fuel any type of Jewish ministry, with Arni and Yonit moving on to Israel and Grant into missionary work in the former Soviet Union amongst the Russian Jews.

They have stayed friends since that time and share mutual beliefs about the Heart of the Father and the salvation of Israel.

Over the years Arni Klein has become a prophetic patriarch in the land with a very keen focus on worship intercession and connecting deeper into the Father and Yeshua’s love, putting out some wonderful teaching projects, such as “Israel Revealed.”

The life of Arni and Yonit Klein has been marked by radical shifts and quantum leaps. They met in 1969 in Manhattan and married two months later.  As yet without the knowledge of Yeshua but bonded as seekers, within four years they were separated on the verge of divorce.  In the spring of 1973, they separately came to faith and were reunited.  For 19 years they served in various capacities in New York City until they immigrated  to Israel in 1992.  They have two children, Jonathan and Stephanie, and four grandchildren.  Arni is Jewish from Austrian, Polish, and Russian descent; Yonit’s ancestors were from England, Italy, and Wales.  Though raised in a Jewish home, only fifteen years after meeting Yeshua did Arni come to understand the place of Israel in God’s global end-time plan.

For various seasons between 1992 and 2000, they served as congregational elders, directed a congregational  music ministry, and produced a music and drama street outreach.  Arni has recorded an album of original Hebrew songs for seekers (“One Way Ticket”), and their journey to faith “Nothing to Lose” is published in Hebrew and German and can be found on this website in English.  From 1999 to 2012 they stewarded centers in Tel Aviv and the Judean Hills to provide a place for brethren from Israel and the nations  to pray and minister to the Lord.  From 1998 to 2003 they worked with First Nations peoples from various countries to help them understand their calling and unique role in God’s plans for Israel.  Since 2003 they have worked extensively in Germany with a focus on building a bridge between the youth in both nations. They have been part of the community of believers in the Tel Aviv area for 13 years and  Jerusalem for 8 years. 

They  currently reside in a village near Tiberias, and are part of the Morningstar Congregation.  As individuals and as a ministry, they desire to partner with other brethren whenever possible and are committed to walking in transparency and accountability.  For more information you can go to “The History of Emmaus Way.”

As part of our ongoing Storehouse “How To” training and equipping series, we hang out with Jordon Baker (who serves as part of 10 Days of Prayer) about growing up in Mansfield, OH, getting radically saved by Jesus, delivered from Bi-Polar disorder, being part of the prayer movement, making disciples and serving his community together with his cousin Josh who is a police officer.

Jordon and I met through Jonathan Friz and 10 Days of Prayer. Back in May we had the Americas 10 Days of Prayer Summit in Grove City, PA – not too far from the Ohio border. The Summit was hosted by Brad McKoy who runs the HUB – a New Breed of Business style of House of Prayer fusion with business incubation, mentoring, and community (click here for that interview).

So when I was wandering the streets of Grove City, praying as I walked, my eyes were drawn to a restaurant called “Jordan’s” and I felt the Holy Spirit whisper, “go find out what Jordon is cooking”. So we struck up a conversation on what was happening in Mansfield, OH together with cousin Josh (also a Jesus follower and young Mansfield police officer) who has been part of what is going on as well.

We talked about hosting BBQs on the streets of Mansfield and inviting people to eat and be served (i think without cost). We talked about a soccer field for the youth where they could play on an abandoned field the city allowed them to use and restore. I also know Jordan was part of a grassroots effort to unify the church through worship and prayer nights with 52 churches in Mansfield. That’s a lot of churches!

We’ll get into more of what Christian Community looks like there and go over some of the potential synergies with the Storehouse Vision as part.

We want you: The New Breed – to bring questions, comments and testimonies as well!

Jordon serves as part of an emerging network of simple churches and disciple-makers across Ohio. With a vision to see disciples making disciples in their everyday environments—where they live, work, and play—they are passionate about fostering communities that live out the gospel “from house to house” (Acts 2:46). Their heart is for everyone in Mansfield and beyond to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus, following Him as Lord and Savior.

In addition to this work, Jordon helps lead citywide prayer initiatives focused on uniting the local body of Christ and equipping others with disciple-making movement principles. He also serves on the global leadership team for 10 Days of Prayer, a movement committed to consecrated prayer and catalyzing spiritual awakening worldwide.

Join us tomorrow as we discuss what happened last week in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Specifically, how pro-Hamas protests and tolerance of radical Islam in Europe has fomented into Anti-Semitic and anti-Israel organized violence in the streets against Jews.

Even the International Criminal Court (located at The Hague, also in the Netherlands) has now issued arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant (press release: ICC Rejects Israel’s Challenges to Ruling). This only emboldens Dutch civilians to commit acts of anti-Semitism and hatred against Jews under false pretenses of “Genocide” and “War Crimes”.

Incredibly, the fact that what unfolded was premeditated with the defending by governmental officials was as shocking as it is unacceptable. It reminds us of what happened at University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Harvard last year.

This will be a continuation of our discussion with Stephen Burke of rising anti-Semitism globally in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel and massacre of Oct 7th, 2023 and the ensuing Iran and its proxies’ 7-front war against Israel. What God is doing with Israel in the midst of this and how He is protecting His chosen Jewish people returning to the Promised Land. We examine the unprecedented since-post-WWII events in Amsterdam and the implications of what is happening now.

JNS article, 11/10/24 – Emergency flights take 2000 people from Amsterdam to Israel

Jerusalem Post 11/13/24 Article: Christians: Now is the time to stand up for the Jewish people

On the night of November 6-7th 2024, I couldn’t sleep. I was reminded of a similar time I could not sleep back on October 4-5th, 2023. I wondered, Lord, are you showing me Orion again (Job 9:9; Job 38:31; Amos 5:8)? I was drawn outside on my back porch at 1am. It was a clear night. There was a cluster of stars that stood out. I went downstairs and got my phone. And what was clearly shining directly above in the southern skies again? The constellation Orion. Here is a picture I took at 2:08am and a screenshot of my stars app for that exact date and time:

When I saw the news the very next day about Amsterdam, I knew it was another sign.

Orion is in the bible. Orion is known as the Hunter (hence bow and arrow).

“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the Lord, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters and they shall hunt them…”

and this parallel passage…

“Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.”

I am joined by my good friend Stephen Burke, The Lord Will Provide ministries. Stephen speaks to Christians all over the world who are called to stand with the Jewish people, to serve and assist them locally in whatever city they live (cities of refuge), even in the midst of persecution, as well as help them make Aliyah to Israel as need be.

For more background on Stephen and his vision, read and watch the Heartbeat Israel with Stephen Burke episode here.

Stephen Burke worked for 18 years in advertising and public relations before God called him out of his profession in 2004 to begin a ministry He named, The LORD Will Provide. The work began in Guatemala and involved church planting and missions. However, in 2008, God unexpectedly gave Stephen a 2-hour open vision of unprecedented future difficulty that is coming to America and the world. In this vision God also showed Stephen that He is raising up places of refuge to hide, protect and move His chosen people. So, since 2009, the Lord has been connecting Stephen with these places of refuge around the world. His role has been to encourage them and to let them know they’re not alone. God has a global plan for His people in the midst of trouble and even now is preparing for these days.

Join us on the New Breed of Business as we have a post-election political and economic discussion : “What Now?”. With special consideration to how this relates to implementing the Storehouse Vision, Network, and Communities.

We will discuss the President Trump – Jehu prophetic parallel as part.

Jehu tore down the alters of Baal, killed Jezebel, killed the Baal priests, and was made King over Israel.

“However Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from the golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan.”

“I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel

Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.

Grant is back from his team’s trip to Auschwitz.

God has his heart and eyes on Poland – this important country and how it relates to Jew and gentiles living together.

When I visited Yad Vashem 2 years ago, I was praying and the Holy Spirit led me to focus on the importance of Poland to him during WWII and today.

More Jews were murdered in Poland than any other nation, including Germany. I found this book while I was visiting the bookstore that was highlighted to me.

This excerpt relates to what I felt the Lord was saying about example of Jews and Gentiles together:

For the last 9 days of our journey we traveled to Poland joining with a group of mature watchmen / intercessors from the US to pray and intercede for Israel and the Church.  Words cannot fully describe all that we experienced during this week of intensive prayer.  We had been preparing for this prayer mission for several months while also having a team of intercessors covering and supporting us daily.  And we knew and felt strongly that our main focus was to pray for greater life to come out of the death and tragedy of the Holocaust.  Remarkable to this focus, is that  there are two new ministries the Lord has established right at the feet of the  Auschwitz concentration   camp.  There is an incredible exhibit  crafted by Rick ? known as the “Fountain Of Tears”, which uniquely depicts the suffering and death of Yeshua on the cross and the tragedy and deaths of the Holocaust. Plus a House of Prayer called “The  House of Life,” which has been established by Mark and Cathy Warwick.

Before we visited Auschwitz, Mark encouraged us to visit the Fountain of Tears first, then the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to join them at the House Of life.

During the week the Holy Spirit led us into some intensive prayer sessions on the property, in the fountain of tears, in the  house of life  prayer house, and through early morning prayer. We have come away with a much deeper understanding of the significance of this death and suffering and how  the  rebirthing  of the nation of Israel has come out of it.  And the Lord led us into specific assignments connected to this focus, some of which were prophetic.

It is a paradox for sure and extremely complex  but we have all sensed a deepening of this  understanding in our spirits. Not just experiencing the horror of this death but also the life that is coming out of it.

During the week we also learned a lot more about Poland and its people, as well as the suffering that they experienced amidst their German and Russian occupations.  We feel strongly to pray for the healing of a victim spirit that is over both the Jewish and Polish people and there is a great need for greater forgiveness and deeper repentance and reconciliation between the two peoples and between the two countries.

It was no mistake that we were to be here during the Feast Of Tabernacles. As we came to the end of our time in the House Of Life prayer house praying and worshiping and as we were looking on and facing the  Auschwitz camp from the balcony windows drawing close to the celebration of Simchat Torah, The Lord gave us an incredible sense of love, peace, and joy. The Lord led us to dance before Him in the spirit, which is also a tradition of Simchat Torah. It is comforting to know that in the greater scheme of things it is all finished with the cross and the resurrection. He has overcome sin and death leading us into spiritual life and freedom.

So, my Dad called me and said he was reading through the Proverbs and the verses about how God hates dishonest weights and scales kept coming up. He thought – hey this is what Gregg is talking about! (in terms of Babylon’s economy and the New Breed of Business)

So here are those scriptures:

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight

Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making

Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike – an abomination to the Lord

The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him

Examples Today:

– Products (especially food products) that shave a little bit of weight and the price goes up or stays the same. Remember that Pint of Haagen Daz ice cream? Well, it’s now 14oz. It used to be $5. Now it’s $9. Hope you don’t notice! Hope you don’t mind!

Our friend Doug Tjaden speaks of the practice of shaving and clipping coins in his book “I’ve Come to Give”

“[T]he Roman Empire… expanded quickly… Tax rates became oppressive, and trade began to slow. Tax revenues… began to fall… Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Nero (54-68 A.D.), the government mints engaged in a new and more deceptive practice. They added copper and bronze to the gold and silver before pouring the alloy into molds to make coins. This is known as “debasing” the coins. Because the practice didn’t leave marks, most people were unaware of the practice.”

In the old days, say at the general store, it became a dishonest practice of many shop owners in America where there wouldn’t be any prices on any products. And store owners would charge different people different prices if they thought they could get away with exploiting people. Even poor people.

The Quakers had a reform, where they wanted all their congregants who were shop owners to insure that they would price all products so people would receive transparent and fair pricing (which God loves).

Today we continue our “How to Storehouse” series. We will unpack all of what is biblical about God’s economy and how that is reflected in the Storehouse Vision.

Hint: it’s not just storing up a bunch of stuff for the apocalypse !

for the home page of the Storehouse Vision, click here (you can also use the Storehouse drop-down menus on newbreed.co)

He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure

So, we often find people misunderstand what “A Storehouse of God” is all about. It’s not simply storing up supplies and money to guarantee our futures. It’s really a reformation of our hearts in how we deal with money, provision, work and our own needs. And it’s also how we form community and serve one another to facilitate supply for the Kingdom of God here on earth.

The Storehouse Vision is first and foremost an “unlearning” of the ways of this world (unplug from the Matrix) and transform our minds in the knowledge of Christ (plug into the Kingdom of God). Romans 12:2“Right from the time you were born… what your parents taught you… without money you cannot survive.”

“That had become a very strong chain of bondage in your mind… It took Me four years to break that.”

“And from that day, to this day our table has never been empty – I don’t know how, from where God provided.” 

– Chandrakaut Shouri (watch testimony here – https://youtu.be/h0PClCCK2z8?si=892AKFuBi9OGpeNv)

“Will He not clothe you? You of little faith? Do not worry… your heavenly Father knows [your needs]… Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all of [your needs] will be met.” – Matthew 6:30-33

God can provide with or without money.

“If you start thinking to yourselves, ‘I did all this. And all by myself. I’m rich. It’s all mine!’—well, think again. Remember that GOD, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today.” – Deuteronomy 8:17-18

It is better to give than receive

Give and it shall be given unto you

Freely you have been given, freely you should give

When you give to the poor you are lending to God

When we help others instead of focusing on satisfying our own needs, God supplies.

Alternative to FDIC fractional reserve banking. Loans as investments. Local currencies. Individual stores and community stores under one roof.

“For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality.” 2 Corinthians 8:12-14

This is the “storing up” part of the Storehouse. But remember, we can also get just in time shipments by God’s hand. Even supernaturally or by way of a miracle.

We don’t have to be under Adam’s “curse of the land, everything by the sweat of our brow.” We can tap into heavenly provision…

Our earthly storehouses can be filled, and our needs can be met out of heavenly storehouses

 and supernatural provision 

God has already made ready. We have to recover this ancient inheritance as the Church for the days ahead.

Silver and gold have I none. In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk!

I will open the windows of heaven
