Dear Partner,  

Did you know you have a Blessing Account set up in your name?  The Word of God describes how when you plant seeds, those go into an account.  Then the harvest accumulates in your account.  So God has set up an account for you.  What’s going into it?  The harvest of blessing!  You have a BLESSING ACCOUNT.

  The apostle Paul was teaching us this concept of God’s in Philippians chapter 4.  He takes us past the seed-planting stage and into the harvest stage.  He gives an astounding revelation of what happens when we give out of ourselves, when we plant seeds.

  He wanted to make sure the same people who give would also bring in the harvest.  He didn’t want them to just plant the seed and walk away, but reap the harvest.

  So Paul gave this profound word in verse 17 where he said, Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].  (Ref. Philippians 4:17.)

  He is giving the Philippian believers the picture of this account that is set up for those who are giving to him for the work of God.  It’s there.  Paul is describing an account that is filled, ready for that person to draw from it.  So he said there is a harvest of blessing that’s accumulating to your account.  It’s a blessing account!  Did you know you have that from God?

   Jesus said in John chapter 12 that when a seed of wheat is buried in the ground, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over.  That’s our life.  When we treat our life as a seed planted to God, to accomplish His will, to live for Him, THEN we can sprout and our life will expand.  We can BRING IN THE HARVEST.

So how do we plant seed?

    In so many different ways.  We plant our compassion to help others as a seed.  We take our gifts and talents and abilities and we use a part of those to be a seed that can sprout and accomplish the will of God and expand our life.  We put our money in the work of God as a seed.

    There are big seeds but there are smaller ones that we plant each day.  We may plant a seed of forgiveness, or say a word to someone to help them, or give a gift, work hard in our job, fulfill our responsibilities, or love others.  These are the types of things we do every day as we plant seeds.  We may not realize it but each time we’re putting those into the ground, we’re
expanding our life.  It feels as if we’re giving out, which we are at that moment, but when we give out, it creates a harvest.  It’s a seed that’s been buried and can grow into a harvest as Jesus said.

    Now bring in the harvest!  See your life expanded.

    A harvest has been accumulating because of the seed you have given.  Now are you going to leave it there?  I mean, if a person gets a line of credit from the bank, are they just going to let it set there?  You have to withdraw your harvest just as a person has to withdraw money from the bank.  How can you do that?  How do you bring in the harvest?  You take your faith and use it as a spiritual hand that pulls it into your life.  You do it by the hand of faith.

    Take your hand of faith and expect to withdraw from your account.  Bring in the harvest.  Because you have given the seeds, the harvest has accumulated into your blessing account and now you can bring it in by believing for it.  Your life will expand because you have given.  Don’t leave your harvest in the blessing account.  Use your faith to pull it into your life.  God wants to expand you, and this is one of the ways He does.  He sets you up with a blessing account as you plant your seeds in so many different forms.

    God isn’t saying that you buy blessings from Him because you give.  He simply established the principle that when a seed is sown, a harvest can come!

“Now I know what you have known for a long time…!”

      I was so happy to hear from a friend of mine who received a wonderful blessing because of the seeds she had sown.  For years she had prayed for her niece to come to know Christ.  Besides praying, she had explained salvation and also lived it before her.  She showed the Christian type of life, so her niece would understand what it meant to have that relationship.  This aunt also would take time to write cards to her niece over the years talking about the Lord.

     Then one day she received a card from her and it said, “I want to say thank you for all the Spirit-filled cards you have sent to me over the years.  I have kept most of them.  Earlier this year, I finally invited Christ into my life, and I am a much happier person today!  Now I know what you have known for a long time—that the only way to live is with God’s love.”

     How beautiful!  How important!  Her eternity has changed.  That niece is now destined for heaven, and by her own admission, she is a happier person.  She recognizes there is just one way to live.  In the love of God.  Because that aunt planted the seeds and kept calling in her harvest, she saw happen what she desired.  She took the effort and time and the love to
communicate to her.

     Another example is when a dear friend and Partner of this ministry received word that the contract for her company was going to end and she had only one month to find another position.  Then all of a sudden God opened a door she did not even expect with another agency.  Just several weeks after that, she began a new position there and it is a really good one.  The one downside they mentioned was she would have to take a pay cut, which that isn’t easy for anyone.  We all have our budgets and certain expenditures.

     But because we were all praying and she had planted seeds of diligently working in her job and planted seeds with God’s work through this ministry, she knew God was in control and this was the right position for her.

     So within a few months of working on the job, her pay was increased.  It wasn’t just brought up near to what she had made in the previous job, neither was it brought up to match it even, but God brought up her income to EXCEED the amount she had been making in the other job.  The seeds she had planted were giving her a great harvest from her blessing account.  She accessed that account by her hand of faith and received the harvest.

 
One-hundred fold!

    Just think in Genesis 26 when Isaac had planted seeds in the famine and God blessed them 100-fold.  What if he had not gone out and pulled up the harvest of food?  What if he just planted the seeds and then his harvest set there uncultivated.  He never took it?  That’s what we do when we plant seeds in obedience to God and then the harvest comes up 100-fold and just sits there
because we don’t get the harvest by faith.

    Seeds set you up to see GOD’s PROMISES grow in your life.  You’re planting seeds in many different kinds of ways.  Now let’s bring in the harvests.  Bring in what God has for you so you can be blessed from your blessing account.

    John and I are called by God to pray with you concerning your blessing account being opened up into your life so you can receive the harvest!  Let’s come together in powerful prayer.  Don’t leave your blessing account untapped.  We’re going to access it by faith together.

    So we encourage you to look at the challenges you have—any troubles or hardship or disappointment—and know that you have a seed ready to turn into a harvest to meet every one of those.  And it will be in every area of your life where you have a need.  We believe for THE PROMISES OF GOD TO COME ALIVE!  They can come to pass in your life.

PROMISES PRAYER CLOTH.

    So tell us where you need to see a harvest.  What do you want to see come out of your blessing account?  Click here now to share with us right away.  When John and I join you in praying over the blessings you need, we also want to send you a prayer cloth to hold as a
contact of faith between us and God after we pray over it.  This prayer cloth has some of God’s promises from His Word printed on it.  Every time you use it during your prayer time it can remind you of what is available for your life and for those for whom you care.  Click here now to request it and the Blessings Account Notebook.

BLESSINGS ACCOUNT NOTEBOOK.

    We also want to send you a pocket-size notebook.  This is your Blessings Account Notebook.  We made sure it was pocket-size (about the size of your mobile phone) so you can carry it anywhere.  The pen comes with it so you can flip it open at any moment and make a record of the seeds you plant and the harvests you receive in return.  It’s spiral-bound so it’s super easy to use.  We want to send all of this to you for a gift of $15 to help the ministry continue fulfilling what God has for us all to do.  Click here now to request it.

   Here’s an example of the type of “seed” you can record in your Blessings Account Notebook: for instance, my husband was talking to a coworker and he was able to help him view his job in the way God sees what he is doing and how important it is.  It was a revelation.  So he sent John a note, “You are such a blessing!”  John helped his life in a wonderful way.  That goes into John’s blessing account as a seed that God can bless back to him in his own job or in some other way.

   Remember what Philippians said.  When you give into God’s ministry, fruit is increasing to your account.  God not only uses your gift to help others, but then He releases your harvest into your own life as you believe.

   Think what your $15 seed can do.  Envision the people around you, the ones you see every day.  Some of them you know and some you don’t know.  But they all have needs.  God wants to meet those needs.  He does that through His work being fulfilled on this earth.

   When you give a seed into Alcott Ministries, you are fulfilling the work of God.  You cause the Word to enter into their hearts and minds.  They’re raised up.  They’re taught the ways of God.  They are delivered from hurts and disappointments.  Then you do the same for yourself when you give.  So John and I invite you to join us as we personally give into this ministry.  Then we can expect tremendous results by the hand of God.

   You see, you are not just helping John and me in this ministry but YOU ARE the ministry itself.  You are actually the outreach.  You’re doing a great work!  Now let’s expect the great harvest in the lives of people and in your own life.  God continues to expand this ministry and the effect it is having on the lives of people.  So you can donate now by clicking here.

    Remember that our prayer time is going to be a great harvest time in God.  So we hope to hear from you soon.  We are always here as…
