Revelation, Interpretation & Timing: The Keys to Wealth Creation! By Ken Storey Are We Facing a New Recession?

Since retirement, Ive become more dependent on my investments. People in my situation tend to be more cautious. So I did what everyone told me to do: I entrusted my finances to the experts. The results were very frustrating and very expensive! Every month, Id look at a spreadsheet covered in red. Whether they were aggressive or conservative, my stockbrokers just kept losing me money. At this point, I turned to the Bible to see what it had to say about investing. As I studied the parable of the ten minas (Luke 19:11-27), I saw that the minimum the master expected from his servants was to earn interest in a low- risk setting. However, those who were commended and rewarded had stepped out and taken risks; they had gained much because they had ventured much.
Holding onto the masters money in fear and doing nothing was a direct violation of his command, Do business while Im gone, and had severe consequences.

Pg 5
Everything I have is the Masters money, and I saw that the Lord wanted me to step out and take more risks.
Even though Id never done it before, I knew He was calling me to manage my own portfolio, to steward it myself, and to trust Him to guide me. After all, I had been a Christian for four decades; surely He could speak to me. I still remember setting up my Fidelity account and making that first trade. I sat staring at the screen for a long time, my hand on the mouse, holding my breath before I took the plunge and clicked. It was nerve-wracking, but Im so grateful I obeyed the Lord. Had I not done so, I would not have made the profits I have now, and I believe I probably would have taken heavy losses during the last stock market dip.

The master wanted them to be proactive and trade, even though it was his money that could have been lost!
One of the things I had been looking into was alternative energies. I had been reading analysts reports about different crops that might emerge as the leader in bio-fuel production. Opinions differed on which crop to recommend. Would corn, sawgrass, soybean or another crop be the profitable investment?
At the time, no-one knew for sure and most suggested trying everything and waiting for a winner to emerge

Having no idea what it was, I did a Google search and was stunned to find that it was the name of a mining consortium. After thirty years of working as a structural engineer, I like data to be accurate and verifiable. I dont like hype or hysteria, but I couldnt ignore what had happened to me... So I did my due diligence, researching the consortium in depth before I invested. Since then, Ive made between 50 427% on different mining stocks. (If you are interested in finding out more about the different mines in this consortium, detailed profiles can be found online at our site.) However, timing is very important in the stock market. Just because you achieved big returns in the past does not mean you can repeat your success in the future. After this, Ive had other dreams that gave me investment guidance that has been profitable and that I believe was from the Lord. Revelation puts us in the right ball park. Then interpretation and timing come in to give us more crucial detail. Then we apply proper investment strategies, technical indicators and money management to bring about wealth creation. Have you ever felt the Lord was speaking to you about the stock market? If so, wed love to hear your story at our Christian investor community forum! (Click Here >>) We look forward to meeting you!

Joseph season when God is prophetically speaking to many of us in unusual but very specific ways Around that time, a friend Joseph season when of mine named Nick had a dream in which Jesus walked up to him and said, Im not done with the God yet. soybean
Mystified, Nick called me to share investments in this odd dream, having no idea unusual but very what it meant. Nick is not an specific ways investor and knew nothing about bio-fuels but I knew the Lord was speaking through him!

In response to that dream, I did some research and then invested in Bunge Ltd. (NYSE: BG), a strategic soybean company, and in six months, I made approximately $13,000, or a 44% return on my investment, which I shared with Nick, since he was the one who had the dream. I share this story to illustrate several key points:
The Lord gives one person a dream and someone else the understanding of it to teach us to work together as the Body. This is one of the reasons Im so excited about the Insight forum where people can share their prophetic insights and other people can comment on or interpret them. Its a blessing to everyone who gets involved.
Another interesting story relates to an experience I had myself. Nine years ago, I was woken several times during the night by a voice repeating the words, Hunter Dickinson to me about twenty-five times.

We took this word seriously and analyzed it. We concluded that his reference to a hop, skip, and a jump signified market movements that, when graphed, would look like a triple jump, an Olympic event sometimes referred to as a hop, skip, and a jump.

In the hop phase, the Dow Jones reached a high in January of 12,786.64 and then landed in early March, coming down again to 12,075.96 before skipping to a recording-breaking high of 14,000.41 on July 19.

dropped to 12,845.78 in late August, down 8% from its previous peak on July 19, as shockwaves from the sub- prime mortgage crisis hammered other mortgage companies and banks. Then, on September 18, the Federal Reserve stepped in, cutting the Fed Funds interest rate, and the market surged upward on what we believe is the third peak, the jump. Interestingly, on October 9, 2007 the Dow broke a new high yet again, reaching 14,164.53.The Dow then continued on down until it landed for the third time at the end of the year ending almost flat. It appears that God had told us in advance what would be happening in the markets a year before they happened. Kim Clement, a prophetic voice, had said this would happen. On September 8, 2007, during a market dip, he said, Now is the time. Something unusual, it's never ever happened before - in the month of October! In the month of October, unusual favor! On May 7, 2006, he prophesied the following: God says, Your economy will swiftly change and people will look back and say, We thought that it was going to be as bad as in the 1920's but look, it is at its highest now. Kims word about people saying its going to be as bad as in the 1920s is very interesting. In fact, this is exactly what some experts have said!
As we went through 2007 we realized that the markets had reacted exactly as the prophetic revelation had foretold. We had three peaks and three falls. When markets would fall the prophets would prophesy that they would rise and they would rise. At the end of 2007 Rick Joyner made a statement at one Friday night meeting that the Lord had told him to get out of the markets. As we look backwards we can see that was the exact time that the markets began their downward move. Again, God had warned us ahead of time. The markets continued down for the next year and a half and then came another prophetic revelation, this time from members of Investing with Insight. On March 7, 2009 Ron Phillips and Lance McGinnis stood up in our weekly Holy Spirit Investment Club meeting and said that they had a revelation that week that the markets would reverse and begin going up again on March 11, 2009. And that is exactly what happened. The markets have been moving consistently upward for the last 4 years. We now have a new prophetic word that we are walking out. It is this (I will paraphrase): As Apple Computer has fallen so shall the US economy fall. One of our members had a dream on September 22, 2012 that Apple would fall and the markets would fall as well!
INV ESTING WI TH IN SI GHT |
Apple has fallen over 35% into Bear Market territory from the date of that dream. This may be a Prophetic Leading Indicator that is showing us that the US economy will fall in like manner. Will it happen this year or next? We are not sure, but our eyes are open and we are watching for what God might say at this critical time in a changing world. These scriptures give us great comfort: 2 Chronicles 20:20 says, Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, an you shall prosper. I Thessalonians 5:19-22 says, Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. We whole-heartedly believe both of these scriptures, and they are a foundation for everything we do at Investing with Insight. Not only do we want to weigh the words carefully, but also believe them and take action, since faith is best expressed by deeds done in love. This process happens best in a community setting. It allows us to dialogue and share both the revelation the Lord is giving us personally and the research many of us have done on these issues. We hope youll join us for the journey!

If God speaks in dreams and uses them to guide individuals and even predict economies, are we taking them seriously enough? Are we being good stewards

By stockpiling grain, he was able to buy things at a deep discount when the famine came seven years later. Heres an example from the 20th century. The Great Depression was an awful time in US history as millions of people lost everything they owned. Yet some of the richest people in the world gained their wealth during the Great Depression. How did these people do this? They planned their finances carefully so that when the crash occurred, they not only weathered the storm, but also had money to spend. |

Who Wants to Protect Their Wealth and Even Prosper During Crisis?
continued
When everyone else panicked and began selling their assets for cash in order to pay their bills or to feed their families, savvy investors bought land and other assets for literally cents on the dollar. By doing this, they were able to acquire great wealth at little cost. If you have money to spend during economic crisis, go bargain hunting. You will find stocks, real estate, and other assets that panic- stricken sellers will sell to you for a song. By doing this, you will be able to prosper and build long-term wealth, even during difficult economic cycles. However, being able to do so takes true self-discipline and an unusual degree of character. When times are good, governments and individuals typically go on spending sprees. Instead of saving excess cash, they spend it on bloated government programs or increasingly luxurious lifestyles. Very few people have been able to resist the urge for expansion or the temptation of self-indulgence during boom cycles. Unlike other Pharaohs, Joseph didnt embark on selfaggrandizing building projects of temples and palaces. (Overly ambitious building projects, such as many of the new high-rise projects we see in the works, are typical of a bull market at its peak.)
Joseph resisted the temptation to build magnificent monuments to himself, which were the life goals of every Egyptian ruler. Instead, he focused on strengthening infrastructure (granaries) to prepare for what was coming. He also didnt allow the people of Egypt to squander their surplus on luxury items but enforced a 20% tax on the total harvest. He was accountable to no one except Pharaoh, yet he did not spend this newfound wealth but conserved it with great prophetic wisdom. Its hard to conceive of a leader in history who has stewarded the wealth of their nation with as much foresight and diligence as Joseph did. Sadly, not only has America consumed her surplus and not saved, weve run up mammoth personal debts and national deficits. The economic crisis of the last five years has been harsh proof of our nations lack of foresight.
Evangelicals make up more than 30% of the population in the US, yet a 5% liberal minority controls much of the social and cultural agenda How could that happen? It happens because we put more energy into making converts than sending converts into the high places. When the Church takes what God gave them and goes into the situation, they create solutions that nations cant find on their own. The moment Christians create these solutions, like Joseph did in Egypt, they have a platform that can disciple a nation. Do we have supernatural answers to problems? Can we press into heaven for solutions to economic and social issues? Can we become a force that can literally transform culture? Nations are opening up in ways they never have before. Can you believe God will use you? -- Lance Wallnau LanceLearning.com
We are in great need of men and women who walk in the anointing, character and wisdom of Joseph, releasing the strategies of heaven to preserve our economy as well as oversee a great transfer of wealth.
DONT:
1. Dont Panic.
Fear usually leads you to do foolish things like selling good assets for bad prices. Have a plan in advance.
2. Dont assume that your mutual fund manager will take care of things.
Remember that the vast majority of money managers dont even outperform the S&P 500 index. When the market goes south so do their investments. Check on the performance of your mutual funds. Do they have exposure to risky assets? If they do, then dont wait to get out.
Are you a modern-day Joseph who believes God still speaks about economies and nations today?

So far, rising gold prices have done little to reduce physical demand, but the manipulators of paper gold can still force the price lower through their unethical measures. Gold has historically tracked the price of oil since the mid 1960s. However, this relationship faltered for about seven years between 1999 and 2006 as the price of gold rose a lot slower than the price of oil. But beginning in 2007, this relationship began to reestablish itself in a strong way, with gold prices rising to close the gap.
In order for this historical relationship to be fully restored, with oil at approximately $110 per barrel today, the price of gold would have to rise to approximately $2,500 or higher. Using this measure, there is still significant room for the price of gold to increase. If our forecast is for a fall in the price of gold then we will notify you in a Special Bulletin.
As with all investments, past performance is not a perfect indicator of future performance. However, the fundamentals are there to support a large increase in the price of gold in upcoming years.

With the decline of the dollar, the rise of inflation, and the publics growing awareness, interest in gold is near an alltime high and is projected to continue for years to come.

6. Increasing inflation
Inflation is increasing, which means that you can buy a lot less with a dollar today than you could yesterday. Its projected to get a lot worse. People have historically bought gold when inflation was increasing as a safeguard or hedge against it. Gold is fairly inflation-proof. As inflation increases, so does the price of gold.
