2024 is a year to have great anticipation, expectation, and confidence that you will see the momentum that brings a harvest of biblical promises for your life, family, business, ministry, area of influence, and the Believers you are discipling. As you come to understand your Christ identity, you can boldly claim, trust, and move in expectation of God's Supernatural Majestic Realm fully flowing through God's purpose for your life. Take some time to ask God to help you understand and carry out His purpose for your life so you can be the light of the world by advancing His Kingdom in the earth. Ask Him to reveal to you how you transform the atmosphere around you, and how you bring understanding, light, and life into the lives of others. Focus on the light that you are releasing from the love of Jesus flowing through your heart and watch what happens. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Consider the difference between Christ and all other things -- as thus, all other things are vanities, but Christ is a real, solid substantial, glorious thing; all other things are temporary, fading things, but Christ is an enduring substance. All other things are thorns, vexations of spirit, but Christ is full of joy and comfort, a most ravishing object, all composed of loves, or altogether lovely. Who would make it his business to fill his coffers with pebbles, when he may have pearls, or gold, or silver or precious things? (Revelation 1:4) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; - Romans 8:17 First Corinthians 6:17 says that when we were joined to the Lord we became one spirit with Him. He came into union with us so that He can talk to us heart to heart -- His thoughts become our actions. We walk so closely with Him that we never lack power to overcome the evil of this world, and feel His heart of compassion toward those that are hurting or bowed down with sickness and pain. He is one with us so He can reach out through our hands and fulfill OUR Christ calling, thereby advancing His Kingdom throughout the earth ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

We break out of the mold of past insecurities (our house built upon the sand), and an entering into the security of being seated with Jesus in His Throne, at the right hand of all power and authority (our house built upon a rock). Here He lifts us from our place of discouragement and vacillation into an overcoming victory in His presence. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past. Knowing that we are to seek first His Kingdom, we enter His presence with joy and expectation. We seek His presence with a mindset of advancing His Kingdom. LET THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BE ENLIGHTENED "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power." - Ephesians 1:18-19 If we will ask, knock, and seek (Matthew 7:7) revelation of the CALLING in Christ that rests within us in simple child-like trust and wait upon Him in anticipation, we will be released from the limitations that we have placed upon ourselves so we also can sieze all that the Lord has made available for us. Now, we can walk in confidence with Him. We expect to go from glory to glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His Kingdom and glory. We become aware that there is a far greater potential within us than we had realized. The Lord greatly desires to open this buried treasure and fill it with His PURPOSE for our life. HIGHER DIMENSION OF COMMUNION There is a "deep" within the Lord that is crying out to a "deep" within us, that He might find the satisfaction which He anticipated when He created us. Thus, "Deep calls to deep," as there is a higher dimension of communion with our Lord that He seeks to bring us into. "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts: all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me." - Psalm 42:7 "All [Your] waves and [Your] billows are gone over me": The Lord not only deals with our sin nature, but also with our willingness to settle for less – the seemingly "good things", which distract our focus, that can rob us of the highest to which He is calling us. THREE AREAS WHICH WE ARE TO MOVE INTO SPIRITUAL STABILITY "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death..." - Philippians 3:8-10 First, "That I might know Him." We must move beyond being satisfied with information about the Lord, into an active, personal relationship with Him. We are to experientially enter into the recognition, not only of His presence and power, but also of His person and feelings, and respond to Him accordingly. Second, that we might experience the "power of His resurrection." We cannot experience resurrection unless we first have died to our self-life. "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple." - Luke 14:27 The true Christian life, which is to be a disciple of Christ, is a life of sacrifice. This "taking up of our cross" means that we 'die' to the right to do as we please, and surrender 'unconditionally' to the Lordship of Jesus by apprehending and implementing our Christ calling so we may bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom. Third, are those who enter into the "fellowship of His sufferings." This is not the fellowship of our sufferings, but our fellowship with Jesus in His sufferings. Examples of this are the sufferings of the Lord over lost humanity, and over our spiritual dullness or lack of spiritual desire. He has so much to give, and so few who are willing and sensitive enough to receive. He desires our fellowship and longs that we come to Him. He has a PURPOSE for each of our lives. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

When you were born again you received your Christ identity and an unction to come to understand your Christ calling. "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be My witnesses." - Acts 1:8 You now have the power to bear fruit for God's Kingdom as you disciple others into their Christ calling. You are becoming the world changer God has always intended you to be as the Believers you disciple advance His Kingdom by changing the lives of others to spread His Kingdom throughout the whole earth. (Matthew 29:19) One religious mindset that many Christians can be guilty of -- we are trying to change our old nature (old man) and improve ourselves. We fail to realize that Jesus never came to do that. Jesus crucified the old man so that by faith, we can walk in the new man who is already created in righteousness and holiness. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20 Plead God's relationship to you. You are God's child, and you have the right to appeal to Him on that basis. AFFIRMATIONS: Since God rules in my heart and Jesus is Lord of my life, walking in my Christ identity gives me control over the things coming against me. He has raised me up with Jesus and seated me in heavenly places. He has given me His name. His Blood, His Authority. His Power. His Spirit. I have the power to labor for the spiritual lives of others. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"Seek God, all you quietly disciplined people who live by God's justice. Seek God's right ways..." (Zeph. 2:3, MSG) Justice has always been on God's mind. A lifestyle of Biblical justice could be simply defined as living in accordance with God's standards and ways. When we live His "right ways," our hearts are opened to be stirred with intercession for His justice to come to pass for others. A THREE-PRONGED MODEL: INTERCESSION, SACRIFICE, AND ACTION Intercession (prayer), Sacrifice and Action— The divine model appears in chapter Isaiah 53! To put it another way—don't pray for a problem you aren't prepared to be the solution to! "...He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." (Isaiah 53:12) Truly, intercession involves more than just prayer—intercession can be literally translated, "to come between" (see Strong's #H6293). So while Jesus does intercede for us at the right hand of the Father, He also gave His life as a sacrifice—and that required action (see Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). Isaiah 53 reveals that with His death, He bore our griefs and sorrows that we might have joy. He was wounded and bruised that our transgressions might be removed. And He suffered stripes (blows that cut in) that we might be healed (vs. 4-5). But there's also this: In allowing Himself to be led as a lamb to the slaughter without opening His mouth, by standing as a sheep before its shearers in silence—He stood in the gap for those who have no voice! He was oppressed and afflicted, suffering unjustly, that those who experience injustice might be given a voice. We are meant to be that voice!: He set us free that we might set others free. True freedom results from truly understanding your Christ identity from the scriptures and equipping others so they can be effective in building God’s Kingdom. We were healed that we might be used to heal others. We exchanged our sorrow for the joy of advancing God’s Kingdom through our Christ calling so that we might also comfort those who mourn, and He suffered unjustly that we might restore justice to the oppressed (see Isaiah 61:6-9). AVOID CONFUSION God's people, the Church, ought to set the model and standard for compassionate justice through discipling others into the Kingdom quickening reality that they should be living in. This will require the sacrifice of convenience; our time, energy, resources, comfort—and even our reputation—will at times need to be laid down. Jesus counted the costs and then, out of love, laid down His life for mankind. Lord, help us to follow Your footsteps in doing the same (see Luke 22:42, 14:28). Amen ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The fire that the Lord placed inside you is being reignited, even as you are reading this! At this time, doing what the Lord instructed you to do is paramount. When you do, you'll experience the turnaround and blessings you've been waiting for. You may have been running from your assignment, like the prophet Jonah. Like Jonah, God is shaking up your boat (your environment) and allowing you to be 'thrown off' on purpose, for a purpose. While in the water, you initially tried to stay afloat by your own power and will. This caused you to be swallowed up by the very problems which hid your promise. God used these issues to transport you to where He was trying to get you to go in the first place! While en route to the place that the Lord has for you, time in the belly of your adversity will cause you to hear His voice as never before. You'll be situated in the "belly of the beast" long enough (free from distractions) to truly listen to what He's been saying to you all along. God is allowing your problems to move you closer to what He wants you to do. When released, you will have gained a new outlook and resolve to declare what the Lord speaks! Then will the deluge of blessings begin to fall upon you like rain! Rejoice in your season of rain! It's the rain that revives and heralds the new perspective in advancing God's Kingdom. Pray as never before! You will walk in new wine, oil, and power! Fear will be replaced with faith. Mighty acts will be your portion. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

“Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15,16 The Holy Spirit desires you to live daily in the fullness of the Lord so that Jesus will receive glory and honor through His great power working in and through you. Jesus said to the Father, “As You sent Me, Father, send them!” (John 20:21). God will empower you, just as He did Jesus, to walk out the fullness of your Christ calling with that same limitless anointing of the Holy Spirit! (John 3:34). This fullness is available to every believer, for we have inherited the blessing and privilege to know the mysteries, secrets, and thoughts of God (Romans 8:16). Encounter the Holy Spirit in a deep and profound way! ◊ Learn how to meditate on the love of Christ flowing into your heart as you go throughout the day. ◊ Learn about your New Covenant Christ identity through affirming and meditating on the scriptures that have to do with your inheritance in Christ. ◊ Learn about the Right Standing With God that Jesus purchased for you. ◊ Learn how to “Walk In The Spirit.” ◊ Ask, knock, and seek until you come to understand and implement God’s purpose for your life (your calling in Christ). ◊ Learn how to move and flow in the ascended life in Christ. ◊ Learn how to live purposefully, always moving in the Spirit, with vision and goals. ◊ Walk out your Christ calling and ascend to new levels with Him. ◊ Enter into a deeper level of pressing into Him. ◊ Learn to commune in God’s presence at a level where you are receiving continual revelation for Kingdom advancement through your Christ calling. ◊ Make bearing fruit that remains for God’s Kingdom your first priority in life. . ◊ Learn to live with a conscious degree of expectation when it comes to having faith for God’s promises to come to pass. ◊ Learn how to demonstrate the Spirit of the Lord through seeking others you can disciple in their walk in the Christ life. ◊ Learn how to live from glory to glory as you are carrying out your calling in Christ. ◊ Learn the importance of discipling Believers into their Christ identity so they can begin to gain ground in God’s ever-advancing Kingdom.

"Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision." - 1 Samuel 3:15 Be slow to ask another person's advice about anything God says to you. If you ask advice, you will almost always side with Satan if it is a matter you must decide on. "I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood." -- Galatians 1:16 Get into the habit of saying, "Speak, Lord," and life will become an adventure in excitement (1 Samuel 3:9). Every time circumstances press in on you, say "Speak,Lord," and make time to listen. As we listen our ears become more sensitive, and like Jesus, will hear God all the time. "Rule in the midst of your enemies" - Psalm 110:2 The Lord has provided us with powerful tools to accomplish our assignment and legislate the heavens with the ability to call forth what is not as though it were. He has given us the power of the Blood, the power of His name, the power of His Word, the power of decree, the power of the Holy Spirit to bring it to pass, and angel armies assigned to God's Kingdom purposes! He has given us everything needed to rule and reign, to take and to hold ground! Your best days are upon you and it's a time to embrace your divine destiny. God is good and He is faithful! Wake up and be successful in fulfilling all He has planned for you and your Christ calling! This is the hour of the fulfillment of His promises of glory and light! "Arise and shine" for your light has come! AFFIRMATIONS: The Holy Spirit who lives within me is greater than the spirit that is at work in the world (1 John 4:4). I am created for victory. Rather than just being content to sit and hear, I become an activator of the Word. I walk worthy of the Lord - I am fruitful, and I increase in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord. (Colossians 1:9-12) ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life's marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us." (Hebrews 12:1) The enemy has tried to thwart and rob us this season by derailing many of us from our purpose through deep wounds of disappointment. These wounds have been so deep for many that it has been difficult to imagine life beyond them. So whatever you have been facing; whatever demonic forces have been trying to keep you bound; whatever deep wound and trauma you have been carrying; whatever betrayal you have been trying to be free from—the past memories and sting; the disappointment or bitterness that you have been dealing with—the Blood of Jesus speaks a better word over you today. Declare The Following -- I am cleansed, I am healed, I am restored, I am forgiven in Jesus name. He did this for me 2000 years ago. The sound of heaven is resonating in your heart flowing from a devoted relationship with God through His Spirit. Invest yourself in another Believers spiritual development. It is only through doing things at high altitudes that we get used to the height, and pretty soon we are soaring! He wants to get us to the point where we are looking up, living up, coming up, and rising up as we live out our Christ calling while we minister His Kingdom to the world. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

Once God moves you to a new place, the old paths and ways simply don't work anymore! If you continue to try to go the same way as you always have, you will stub your toe! You will run into walls and possibly even dead ends. God is saying today that He has moved you to a new place! You no longer reside where you used to in the spirit realm. You must seek Him for new ways to do things and new pathways to get to where He wants you to go. The old way, the old paths you used to trod – the comfortable ways, the ones you are used to – simply will not produce the results that are desired by the Great I AM in this next season. NEW EXPECTATION God is also saying you need new expectation in 2024. You must expect good things – GOD things – in this new season. God is out to bless you! Disregard the doom and gloom message that is being belched out everywhere you go. God has measured you, and weighed you, and you have not been found wanting (see Daniel 5:27)! Isaiah 54:2 -- "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes." To walk in our DESTINY we must learn new ways to live out of the ascended life in Christ and walk out of the old ways and comfort zones of the past. Now is the time to enlarge, stretch, lengthen, strengthen, spread abroad, resettle, inherit and inhabit the new places – which would include new ways to connect with those who are new believers or those who are stagnant in their spiritual life and are looking for change. It is time to let go of the old and reach for the new, embracing the high calling of God in our lives, to win souls and disciple new believers into their Christ identity. WATCHFUL AND DISCERNING We must be smarter in this season than we have ever been. Ask God! We must be more discerning than we have ever been. Ask God! We must be more watchful and on guard, because we are at a new level spiritually – higher than we have ever been before -- building a consciousness of living water flowing from us into the lives of other as we equip them for Kingdom service. Trust Holy Spirit! We are at a new place! We cannot continue to do things as they were done in seasons past, because they don't work anymore. We must rely on the Spirit of God in us! Listen to Him and trust Him, our witness. And expect good things! Because they are coming! John 16:13 - "But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future]."

"I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision" - Acts 26:19. "God was pleased to reveal His Son IN ME so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles." - Galatians 1:15,16 Paul was devoted to a Person, not to a cause,He was absolutely Jesus Christ and the advancing of His Kingdom over the entire earth. When we are born again we become one with Christ and come to understand our Christ identity so that, through our Christ calling, we might preach Him among the nations -- evangelizing -- DISCIPLING and equipping others for Christian service. Once we meet Christ, then others can see Christ IN US. The life we live, we live by Christ IN US. "For I am determined to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." - 1 Corinthians 2:2 Go to your meditations of Heaven, and keep there a while. The children of that Kingdom above, have no taste for trifles, and especially when they are employed in the affairs of the Kingdom. No more will a soul that is taking a survey of Heaven and heavenly things, fix his eyes on such poor things below. (Philippians 3:8) PRAYER: Lord, make me a tabernacle for Your Spirit like the tabernacle of old. Fill me with Your Shekinah glory so that I can be effective in bearing fruit that remains for Your Kingdom through my Christ calling. AFFIRMATIONS: I imbibe deeply - I'm drinking and soaking in His presence - I'm drinking from the river of His pleasures. I practice receiving God consciousness to the point that now I can close my eyes and in seconds feel the glory of God. I can drink the same way that I was saved. I am invited to come to the waters and I can drink as much as I want to, just like when I believe from my heart and receive anything else from God. Thank you Father for setting such a magnificent banqueting table before me in the presence of my enemies. Yes Lord, let the vats overflow with the new wine and new oil. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"In those days I will pour out My Spirit even on My servants – men and women alike – and they will prophesy." (Acts 2:18 ) The Lord declares in Acts 2:18 that there is a very specific reason He pours out His Spirit on His people – so we will prophesy! God wants you speaking His truth in season and out of season like this, because the lost, hurting, broken, victimized, scared people of the world need to know there is an alternative to all that has failed and frustrated them. In Genesis 1:1-25 God shows us how He brought forth creation and also a model of one of the main ways we operate in the authority that He called us to in verses 26-28. The words He spoke brought Kingdom order to chaos and confusion (Genesis 1:4-25). Now it is your turn to do the same. In Him, with Him, and for Him, God has made you His dominion steward in the earth. Just as He spoke to creation to bring it forth, you can speak to creation to bring it into alignment with His truth. After all, you are made in His image and according to His likeness (see Genesis 1:26), called to do the works that the Word Himself did (see John 14:12), and we see evidence of all this throughout the Bible (e.g., Isaiah 55:5, Jeremiah 1:10, and Job 22:28). ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth. So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria." - 1 Kings 18:1-2 In 1 Kings Chapter 18 Elijah knew in his spirit that something was on the horizon. He sent his servant six times to the sea, but he saw nothing. Although on the seventh time he saw a small cloud on the horizon (see verses 41-44). This cloud is coming your way! It's the new Reign from Heaven to fill you with faith, courage, and whatever you need. For some, it's cutting off the giants head, but once dissipated, it's done. Whatever you are facing or dealing with, and no matter how hard the situation may be, God has sent the Fire of the Holy Spirit. He equips you to do the work needed. God had hidden many prophets in caves, but TODAY what God is looking for are the aggressive spiritual warriors carrying the Christ truth that cannot be stopped! Everywhere we go we will overcome spiritual confusion and bad preaching with His sword of the Holy Spirit. The cloud is on the horizon, and REIGN is on the way to devour and quench darkness. We will see the greatest advancement of God's Kingdom the world has ever seen. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

"So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water." - Exodus 15:22 For many of us, we have experienced a wilderness while fulfilling God's purpose for our life. We feel lonely, barren, and unfruitful. We have been so dry and thirsty that we find ourselves crying out to God in desperation. Our life is in disorder, and at times we are confused and irritated. God has a purpose for our wilderness -- He does NOT plan for us to stay there! God brought the Israelites out of Egypt for the purpose of not only proving their hearts, but also to give them an opening to be delivered from a slavery mentality. "Slave" in a spiritual sense is bondage where one is experiencing a form of imprisonment and captivity. It is also a person who has no will of his own and is wholly under the control of another. Also one who surrenders himself to any power whatever; as a slave to a passion, lust or ambition. "Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." - 2 Corinthians 10:5 The Israelites, while they were in the wilderness, had many occasions to activate their faith for their breakthroughs, but instead they remained in their slavery mentality of the past -- they remained in a place of total surrender to old thoughts and behavior patterns -- because they could not totally trust God, they remained in their wilderness......and a generation died there. GOD IS EXPECTING: "THE PROCEEDING WORD" "....man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!" - (Matthew 4:4) Proceeding words are God-given declarations (based on the Word of God) which begin to flow from our inner-most being. Like a mighty river, there should be an outflow of God's Word that gushes forth whenever we are in a wilderness, and the enemy is tempting us. We allow ourselves to be developed in a wilderness (Luke 4:4-12), so that we are empowered with these proceeding words (Luke 4:22). Rather than feeling sorry for ourselves because we experience dry places, we realize that God has a much greater plan. He is empowering us for the miraculous and "greater things!" BREAKING FREE OF A SLAVERY MENTALITY A slave mentality says that you will not find YOUR PLACE IN MINISTRY, but a proceeding word says that God has firmly planted you into your DESTINY, and you will not be plucked up! We experience our deliverance as we examine every ungodly belief and replace it with God's Word. We cycle out of our captivity as we begin to respond to every wilderness test with a proceeding word spoken in faith. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position ourselves in our Christ calling. As we continually experience His person our eyes are opened to see from His heavenly perspective which shows us the importance of helping others with their spiritual lives. If we choose not to heed the leading of the Spirit and become proactive in renewing our minds, it is possible that we will limit God's power and anointing from flowing through our lives because of un-renewed thinking patterns that we are still embracing. You have the potential to believe impossibilities into possibilities. "Everything is possible for him who believes." - Mark 9:23 "I heard the voice of the Lord saying: 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?'" - Isaiah 6:8 As long as you dwell on your own qualities and traits and think about what you are suited for, you will never come to understand your Christ calling. Most Christians cannot hear anything but themselves. And they cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to a place, through an act of consecration, where you can come to recognize your role in advancing His Kingdom by changing lives, is to be profoundly changed. AFFIRMATIONS: I am living proof of the Word of God working in and through me. The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in me -- So, therefore, I walk in His Kingdom power. His fire surrounds me and His Glory dwells within me. The Lord does battle for me. His angels go speedily to do His bidding. All of heaven backs up His Word in my life. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY
