Finances
Hello everyone! We are focusing on finances for this issue. Print out what you need to go over, place it on your altar and pray daily so you can see the increase come in your life!
I believe that this is our time to prosper if we will do the following.
1. Walk in total submission and obedience to the word and will of God. Dt. 28 says "If you will fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all His commandments...you will experience all these blessings..." Our blessings are tied to our obedience.
2. Position yourself for the increase. Read Romans 12:1-2. Willingly presenting every part of your life to Him. That is what it means to be a living sacrifice: your eating, your sleeping, your talking, your spending....submit it all. That is how you position yourself for the increase.
3. Do not resist the new things God is doing. He is bringing a shift and it will not always be comfortable.
God is wanting to move some of you to new positions of authority, new places in Him, new assignments in ministry, even new geographical locations. Do not resist the new thing just because you do not understand it. Your understanding should not be a prerequisite for your obedience!
4. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart. Read Proverbs 3:5-6. Memorize it, then live it. When we trust with ALL our heart, we stay out of the trouble that our flesh can sometimes lead us into.
5. EXPECT GOD TO MOVE! Raise your level of expectation. For some people, they have received less than God's best for so long that they no longer expect Him to move on their behalf. They think that less than God's best is normal. Jesus said He came to give us abundant life! That literally means, superabundant in quantity and superior in quality!
So go through this newsletter with care! Determine to walk in a new level of expectancy. Let the Lord show you the places that you need to surrender to Him. Let Him show you the areas where you have been settling for less than His best. Now redeem your future by coming into alignment with His plans and purposes for you to prosper! ONLY BELIEVE!
MINISTRY PRAISE REPORTS 2009:
Here are a few ministry praise reports from Summit 2009:
I had been praying for the Conference and Dr Pamela - that God would bring more people to connect with her and her vision with everything God has called for her to do - that she would have enough people to connect with her, whether that meant moving near her, or whatever it meant. Then Apostle Chris let it be known about the Covenant Connect- for whoever wanted to be a part of this, and I never imagined it would be so big as it was and in the way that it was happening for people to have the opportunity to connect to them. I didn't know I could be a part of it, until then. I watched the line in awe and excitement as people were lined up all over the room to be a part of this.
Then while I was sitting there and journaling, Prophet James came over and prophesied to me, that I am seeing correct. What I have been seeing is coming to pass. What will happen in the future I will be a part of, and it will happen to me. I just thank God for his amazing Grace and wonder, and for answered prayers. Even though we do not know how these things will work yet, we look forward with anticipation with what He is already starting. I have a desire to work with Orphanage kids in Kenya, Africa and I would like if Covenant Connect could help in some way for me to fulfill this vision, for me to be sent out. I know in His will and time, He will fufill it. I desire His vision and purposes to be fulfilled in my life. I thank God for this Connection. Eagle D B
Hi Apostle Hardy. I am enjoying what I am learning from the Eagles network. I have grown so much in my walk with the God. I have been through but God has brought me out of so many things that has been hindering and keeping me in bondage, but at the Summit God has taken stuff off and showed me more and more that I can trust him and depend on him. He has set me free and is still dropping things off of me. Thank you so much for all that you do. I love you so much for giving me the opportunity to grow with you and I am always going to stay connected with you and the Eagle family. God bless you and I look forward to a wonderful year with the Eagles. Eagle I P
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY:
The Eagle's Summit has been an extreme experience of a life time. Even being the Director of our own Worshiping Arts Ministry, I was blessed to have experienced GOD like never before. His presence and the move of His Holy Spirit was just phenomenal; a journey that I can never forget, as it was more than I ever imagined. The Lord showed His face to me from beginning to end. I felt His attention and compassion on me non-stop, this is when I knew for sure that He is my GOD who is truly concerned about me.
Exodus 19:4: You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. I experienced being in the Tabernacle, which was my resting place. I went through the fire and in the end, I saw the light.
Psalm 132:14: This is my resting place for ever and ever...
As a result of this Summit and my journey with Christ, I have a deeper desire, a stronger passion, and a closer relationship with Him. I am now in the process of becoming an Eagle as I've enrolled in the Banners, Flags & Ensigns course with Eagle Betty Kiser. This is just another stepping stone closer to God's great glory as I continue to soar on wings as an Eagle, refusing to become weary, but thankful that I've become more willing....willing to serve, willing to commit, willing to praise, willing to worship and willing to grow!!!! Daniel 7:14: He was given authority, glory and soverign power, all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. Thank you for this marvelous experience in the Lord our Savior, it was priceless and the dynamic Apostles, speakers and teachers truly spoke the vision and made it plain!!!
In His Divine Love, Min. M E M , An Eagle In Training

LEADERS CORNER
Notes from a conference call with Apostle Hairston on Leadership.
Can't be good leaders if we are not willing to be disciples
* You need to be willing to be trained
* You should be willing for another leader to speak into your life
Ask yourself
* Do you have a problem submitting to leadership
* Do you feel intimidated when confronted by another leader
* When instructed by another leader do you feel criticized, like you can't measure up
A good leader is a good follower and a good disciple
When you go out to minister
~ Things can change and you have to be willing to flow with that
~ Be willing to do what you do effectively in the time given
~ Walk in the anointing ALWAYS
~ If you are given a short span of time, you can still be effective
Leadership is more than telling people what to do It' more than people following you:
* You want to be a living epistle
* You want to walk in humility
* If you find yourself in low place, you should still function as a living epistle - do as Jesus would
Example: Saul
Selected as king to people who insisted they needed a king
His authority got the best of him - arrogant
He over stepped his bounds as king - couldn't handle authority
Felt intimidated by David
Went from being a great person to someone no one wanted to deal with These are called STRONGHOLDS
Use the gifts of the Holy Spirit
~ 1Corinthians 12:1
~ The gifts are going to help you – the power of the Holy Spirit is going to help you get thru to people
~ Know the difference between the gift of knowledge and the gift of wisdom.
Example: If someone asks for prayer because their stomach hurts
* Knowledge - God will show you that they don't drink enough water and as a result their kidneys are being affected (God gives details that you could never know on the spot)
* Wisdom - God will tell you to share with them to drink more water
Example: David
He was a skillful musician
He was anointed
He submitted to the authority over him even though Saul was jealous of him
David had many opportunities to get Saul - He believe God's Word (Don't touch my anointed) David's downfall was when he didn't go to war at the appointed time. When it was the time for kings to go to was David stayed behind.
A WORD TO DANCERS BY DR. PAMELA HARDY
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me… Isaiah 61:1 Dancers, it’s time for us to go to the next level. It’s time for us to grow up in our gifts and callings. It’s time for us to realize that we are not just dancers; we are ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is time for us to spend time in the council room of Heaven until we hear from Him. Only then can we be released to dance His dances – dances from Heaven, dances from His throne, dances from His heart, dances that will set the captives free - dances that will bind up the broken hearted and proclaim liberty to the captives. Dancers, it’s time for us to realize the responsibility we have been given. It is not a time to be idle. It is not a time to be caught up in the cares of this world. It is not a time to be out of place. It is not a time to hold on to secret sins. It is time for us to long for Him, to seek Him with all of our hearts. It is time to see His presence, hear Him, then rise up and go forth to dance His purposes. There is a prophetic generation in the womb of the church – people who will hear from Heaven and declare it in the earth. We as dancers are to be prophetic demonstrations of what out Heavenly Father is saying and doing. We must be those who know the purposes of God for our generation – those who know the times and the seasons and have knowledge of what to do. We must be those who will leave a legacy to the next generation. Dancers, this is the time when God’s favor is upon us. This is the time when God is visiting His people, putting us in place for His purposes, preparing and equipping us. This is the time that God is moving in our midst like never before. This is the time when God is bringing His promises to pass. In some of us God is planting seeds. In others, He is placing His vision for our lives. In many, He is releasing us into DESTINY – His purposes for our lives. Let us pray for strength to bring forth, strength to walk in the call.
Dancers, it’s time for new release of God’s anointing. For those who are hidden in Him, it’s time for new dances, His dances. God is changing things in His house, marking us for His purposes. New winds are blowing in God’s Kingdom. Believe it, receive it. It’s your time –
STAY FOCUSED.
A WORD TO DANCERS
A Challenge to ARISE and WAKE UP!
It is obvious that we are living in very strategic and prophetic times. Jesus said that the people who know their God will be mighty and do great exploits in the Holy Spirit (Dan 11:32). God is raising up an anointed army of believers. The Lord is releasing us to go on the offensive by raising up a praying church that operates in the prophetic anointing with signs, wonders, healing and deliverance. With this in mind, we must endeavor each day to receive a fresh impartation of the Spirit, that we might rise up to become prophetically gifted people with a heart after God alone.
These end times require a radical people with radical worship and a radical love for God – a people who are willing to let go of the past, let go of religion and tradition and press into their God ordained purpose. These end times require a prophetic people who have learned the secret of the secret place. These end times require a people with an apostolic mandate from God to go forth into the entire world to preach the Gospel. This end time harvest will be won by worshipping warriors sold out to the cause of Christ.
To be apart of the Reformation of the church, we must be those who see the need for reform, for change, and cry out to God who alone can bring forth His bride. God is trying to shift us into a new place, for the latter day church will be greater than the former. So let us ARISE and WAKE UP CHURCH! Let us lay aside the sin and weight, which does so easily beset us and run with patience the race that is set before us (Heb 12:1). Let us receive the anointing from On High that will propel us into destiny and allow us to dance the dances for the entire world to see. The nations are crying out for dances of victory that will set the captives free!
