The Mystery Of Time And Money by Apostle Joshua Selman: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

The Dual Operation of the Spirit

When the word of God comes, there's a dual operation of the Spirit:

1. He penetrates minds and hearts, reordering our understanding
2. There's impartation coming from the word - the grace dimension to validate what we know

It is not enough to know; we must be empowered to prove the substance of what we know.

The Real Battle: Time, Not Money

Satan's primary target is not your money but your time and soul. The unit of destiny is time - your destiny is measured as a function of time. Satan came up with a plot so that men lost time by making them endlessly chase money.

The technology of wealth in the world system forces you to choose: wealth or the health of your soul. As Scripture asks, "What shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"

Understanding Kingdom Economics

The economic system of the kingdom is based on these foundational truths:

1. All wealth comes from God and belongs to God - Nobody in the kingdom owns wealth; there are only stewards. Owners are rebels.
2. All blessings come from God through men to men - Men are never the source, only channels. Businesses are only funnels, not sources.
3. Wealth is not pursued; wealth is attracted - You never get wealthy by pursuing money. Success is what you attract by reason of who you are becoming, not what you do.

The Law of Mental Transformation

According to Ephesians 3:20, God is able to do "above all that we ask or think." Your mind sends requests to heaven just as your mouth does. Could it be that your current financial condition is an answered prayer that your mind has been praying?

The real wealth is not business - the real wealth is your understanding. Anything built in your mind, you have it already. Your physical reality will eventually be a reflection of your understanding.

The Danger of Premature Acquisition

Anything you get that is not a product of your transformation is like pulling a rubber band - it will return back. Life is in levels, and at every level there are possibilities allocated that reflect your level of transformation.

Buy a cloth that is not yet in your mind, and scenarios will be created around your life to take it away. Your life will never rest until your physical realm becomes like your mind.

Growth Over Pursuit

Jesus grew, not sought. A triumphant entry would not be organized for baby Jesus. As Jesus transited, the possibilities in His life continued to show.

The key is not to chase things but to grow into realms where blessings become natural. Everything you are looking for is looking for you - but not this version of you. The ministry, the estate, the breakthrough you seek is seeking an updated version of you.

The Stability of Wisdom

The Bible says "wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability." When you rise through knowledge, you will not fear your wealth because it's sustained through understanding.

"Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it come the issues of life." Your mind is where your wealth originates - the spirit realm, not the physical.

Kingdom Wealth Defined

True wealth is not having some money. The degree to which your giving does not affect your life and yet affects destinies is proof of true wealth. According to God's design, "a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children."

We are the bridge between the errors of the past and the blessings of the future - the generation willing to pay the price so our children can have what we did not.

Key Declarations

• Kingdom wealth is a battle for time redemption and your soul
• Owners are rebels - we are stewards
• Success is attracted by who you become, not what you do
• Everything you lost while learning is part of school fees in the school of wisdom
