go. If they're on the other side of the world in Kazakhstan, I want to go. If they're on an island in the South Pacifi c, I defi nitely want to go! I've owned four jets throughout my life, and the only one I didn't raise money for is the Falcon 7X. It's something the Lord has promised me. He said, That one, you will not raise money for. That one will just come. There's nothing wrong with raising money for something like that. A jet is simply a tool to preach the gospel. But by telling me it would just come, the Lord was teaching me something. He was preparing me for a new revelation. He led me to Isaiah 65:24 which says, "Before they call, I will answer." Suddenly, I knew I had entered new territory. God is stretching me. I see it so clearly now. As the Body of Christ, we need to get beyond believing and get to knowing. I want to know. I don't want to believe. I want to know in whom I have believed. I want to get past the believing and quit being a Christian auctioneer: "I'm believing, I'm believing, I'm believing. I'm standing, I'm standing, I'm standing." No, I'm tired of that! I want to get beyond believing. I want to know. "I know! I know! I know!" Ask for Whatsoever In John 14:12-13, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorifi ed in the Son." Read that again. What does whatsoever mean to you? The Church often rephrases whatsoever as "if it be His will," but Jesus didn't say that. He said, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do." Why? "That the Father may be glorifi ed in the Son." Think about that. If you don't ask God for something (aka whatsoever), then the Father is not glorifi ed. Some think Jesus was only talking about spiritual things, but He didn't say the whatsoever was only spiritual. The whatsoever is spiritual, physical and fi nancial because it literally means whatsoever! Then Jesus went even further: "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14). That opens up a big world. When you use the Name of Jesus, you have power of attorney. You have the right and the authority to use Jesus' Name and expect results. When you got saved, Jesus put His Name in you. That's why you can go boldly to the throne of grace and sit down in His presence with the archangels and the cherubim and the seraphim. They have to stand at attention because you sit in heavenly places. Why? Because God's Name is in you. You are now the biological child of God and you have rights. Want Versus Greed Read John 14:13-14 again: "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorifi ed in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." When I read that, Jesus gave me this statement: Your everything, Jesse, is My anything. Will you glorify Me today? Will you glorify My Father? When the Father is glorifi ed, Jesus is magnifi ed because when we believe in the Father, we believe also in Jesus. It's a knowing. It means you can't be convinced of anything else, no matter what happens. I don't tell God what I need. I tell Him what I want. I know exactly how much money I want because we live in an economic world. I don't fi ght money, nor do I fall in love with it. Money doesn't love me, and it doesn't love you either. Money is simply a tool for us to use to function in this natural world. If you have a fi nancial need, then I submit to you that the reason you need is because you don't know how much you want. If you have what you want, then you don't even think about your need. Take that a step further: When you have what you want, and need is not even a part of your life, that's growth.
