Preface
Are you ready to meet Jesus face to face, personally and

intimately? Do you want to know who He really is? Are you ready
to know Him as a person? Through this initial appearance and
visitation, along with others throughout the years, I've been
changed. I know that while you are reading this book, and before
you are finished, that is exactly what is about to happen to you. It
is intense and personal, and it is all based on God's Word. Before
you can acquire your inheritance, you must understand that the
Lord is the portion of your inheritance. All things come by Him
and as He told Abraham, "…I am thy shield, and thy exceeding
great reward” (Genesis 15:1).
"The LORD is the portion of my Inheritance…" (Psalm 16:5).

The Revelation
This revelation of the mystery of Inheritance by Lineage is going

to transform the whole body of Christ and bridge believers to the ancient
glories and powers the fathers walked in. What I am about to share with
you is the pivotal key for your destiny.
When I started releasing this revelation in churches, the Lord said

to me, “This is a national word. If the church hears this word, this will
transform the earth.” This message of Inheritance by Lineage was the key
to the early church transforming and turning the world upside down. The
relationship between children and fathers is so powerful to God that the
whole earth will be stricken with a curse if the relationship is broken (see
Malachi 4:6). On the other hand, when the hearts of the fathers are turned
15
to the heart of the children and the hearts of the children are turned to the
fathers, God will transform and bless the whole earth.
There is a rich deposit of spiritual inheritance that has been laid up

throughout the generations and ages that remains untapped even to this
very day. In this book, I will reveal the mystery that the Lord taught me
face to face, and you will learn how to discover your spiritual lineage and
inheritance. I received this revelation more than twenty years ago and the
Lord told me not to release it until now. He instructed me to release this
revelation to the Body of Christ worldwide. This tells me God is about to
unleash the riches of the glory of our inheritance in this hour. The Latter
Rain Glory is about to be poured out as we reconnect to the Former Age.
God promised that the Latter and Former Rain will fall together. Are you
ready for this? The Latter Rain Glory has begun! In this book you will
learn what it takes to be part of this move. You will learn your lineage and
the inheritance laid up for your destiny.
How God Apprehended My Life

Before we go any further, let me share with you a little bit about
how God apprehended my life when I was only seventeen years old. It was
December 1989, during the Christmas season. I fell fast asleep one night,
about five to seven days before Christmas Eve. Suddenly, there He was
with eyes glowing and full of love. The man I heard about as a little boy,
who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day
was standing right in front of me! His very presence exuded and emanated
such gentleness - a pureness and kindness beyond this world. It was total
ecstasy! For the first time, I was standing in front of Jesus. My whole being
felt Him. He filled the atmosphere and molecules all around me, even the
atoms inside my body responded to him. It is really true that “in Him we
live, and move, and have our being.” It was total ecstasy, indescribable,
blistering with eruption. My whole being felt like it was caught up into
Heaven. The atoms in my body made me feel like I was about to explode!
Standing in front of me was a handsome man, perfect in stature.

He was just a little taller than me, with sandy, brown hair that came down
the sides of His shoulders in waves. The natural words of my vocabulary
16
fail to describe how awesome He is. Jesus stood before me with eyes full
of love, His face full of light and power. His eyes are so striking that when
He looks at you, they penetrate and see through your being, character, and
nature. It's like when He looks at you with those eyes, He knows
everything about you and nothing is hidden from Him. Like an x-ray or a
translucent ray of light, His eyes penetrate and arrest you at the same time.
Standing in front of me was Jesus, the King of Kings, but He stood there
unassuming, just as common as a man.
I understand why He said, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of

me; for I am meek and lowly in heart," (Matthew 11:29). His humility was
so shocking to me. At this point, He was no longer a distant person who
sat at the right hand of God. He was real! He was alive! He was a man
with a personality and He was standing right in front of me in a beautiful
flowing white robe. He was so powerful, yet gentle; so merciful, yet full of
judgment; so meek and lowly, yet so silently bold. I was captivated by His
love. Who was I that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords would come
and appear to me like this, after I had lived such a riotous, worldly, and
sinful life?
My friend, who and what I am talking about is not some myth or

fairytale. He is more real than the air you breathe and the clothes you feel
on your body at this very moment. He is even more real than this book
you are holding in your hands right now! I am talking about the most real
person you will ever meet, and I saw Him for the first time, twenty-seven
years ago. He was nothing like the church has described or even portrays
Him to be today. Men and women everywhere, including in the church,
have failed to describe Him fully. In this dream, Jesus stood in front of me
as I have described. He stood there, and I was standing in front of Him,
face to face.
Before I can talk to you about Inheritance by Lineage, I

must explain how all of this came about. It was a few days before
Christmas when Jesus first appeared to me in a dream. The next encounter
I had with Jesus and the Holy Spirit on Christmas Eve was just few days
later. It was the night that those who play the worldly ritual of Santa Claus
were supposed to come. It was the time when all schools let the students
17
come out for Christmas and New Year’s break. It was an exciting time for
me, but little did I know that the whole course of my life was about to be
changed dramatically.
"And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend," (Exodus 33:1).
When Jesus looked at me, I knew what He wanted without Him

moving His mouth. He suddenly spoke and told me to come to Him and
be saved. I later found out why His mouth didn't move. You see, in the
spirit, you don't need the natural faculties of your body to communicate
like you do on earth. The bible says in Romans 8:16, "the Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit." So, when God talks to us, He speaks to
our spirit man and we hear Him clearly with our spirit, just as we hear with
our natural ears. I know some of you are thinking, “But the Bible says that
‘No man hath seen God at any time,’ (John 1:18) and ‘No man can see
God and live,’ (Exodus 33:20) just as God told Moses.” That may have
been the case in the Old Testament, but we must understand that the word
of God is progressive.
Jesus told Satan, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God,” (Matthew
4:4). Jesus used the word “proceedeth” not “proceeded.” There are some
things God said in the past that He is no longer saying in our dispensation.
No one could see the physical face of God at that time because of man’s
sin problem. This is why the bible says, “But your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that
he will not hear,” (Isaiah 59:2). Jesus has since paid the debt for our sin
and now the veil that blocked our access to God has been removed!
We must also understand that Jesus is the exception to the

statement, “No man hath seen God at any time.” Jesus told the disciples,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me,” (John 14:6). Do you see that statement, “But by me?” That is the
exception! No one can access God the Father except through Jesus. The
Lord also confirmed this when He stated, “All things are delivered unto
me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither
knowet any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son
18
will reveal him,” (Matthew 11:27). Do you see that? No one knows the
Father except Jesus and those Jesus chooses to reveal the Father to! Isn’t
that amazing?
“And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was
seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part
remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was
seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me
also, as of one born out of due time,” (1 Corinthians 15:5-8).
Moreover, Jesus can appear to us and we can look on His face.

Who did Paul see on the road to Damascus when he was knocked off his
horse? Who did John the beloved see on the Isle of Patmos face to face?
Jesus also appeared to five hundred brethren at one time after His
resurrection. So, don't tell me that this experience of seeing Jesus face to
face was not real. I know it was He who was standing in front of me, face
to face.
Paul also saw the Lord Jesus throughout his ministry consistently.
Paul saw Jesus in dreams and visions and in trips to heaven. In a dream,
Paul saw Jesus as the bible says, “Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night
by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace,” (Acts 18:9).
Again, Paul saw Jesus in a trance, “And it came to pass, that, when I was
come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a
trance; And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out
of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me,” (Acts
22:17-18).
After this first experience, little did I know that for the next twenty-
seven years of my life I was about to have incredible face to face encounters
and visitations with Jesus consistently. That one night changed the course
of my life forever! In this book, I can only tell you so much, for the sake of
time, how this revelation came to me. In another book that Jesus instructed
me to write, I have compiled many of the visitations, trips to Heaven, and
dramatic appearances from Jesus our Lord, and my friend. I share in detail
what I have seen over the years, in line with God's Word and my intimate
relationship and friendship I have with Jesus personally. That book is
19
entitled, Face to Face Appearances from Jesus: The Ultimate Intimacy.

Millions of copies have been sold since 2009 after its release.
Jesus promised me that He will draw closer and appear to

everyone who picks up the face to face book and reads it. While you are
reading, and by the time you are finished, you will have developed in your
spirit, not only a greater hunger, but you will have also gained the
relationship you have always desired with Him. So, be ready for your life
to be dramatically revolutionized and turned upside down when you read
the face to face book. The Lord also promised me that those who read that
book will begin to have visitations and appearances from Him personally.
What is already on my life will fall on you.
God also said that even those who have already had, or who are
having these experiences, "They will increase dramatically.” Get ready!
We have already begun to witness these visitations among many people in
America and all over the world. Do you really want to know Jesus? Aren't
you tired of going to church to just hear about Him or maybe just feel His
presence? Don't you want more? I believe you do!
My Beginning
“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,
LORD, will I seek,” (Psalm 27:8).
I was a seventeen-year-old high school senior when all of this

happened to me and my life took on a dramatic change. Before the Lord
first appeared to me and saved me, I was the typical unsaved teenager,
smoking marijuana, speaking bad language, cursing, partying, and having
sex before marriage. I was involved with gangs on the streets, hanging
around with drug lords, and pushing kilos of cocaine across America. I
remember that the night before the Lord came to me and did all of this in
my life, I was involved in a shootout with bullets flying everywhere.
Around this time, the Lord sent a young man in my life named Randale
Jackson to witness to me. He is one of my best friends today. I will tell you
more about this relationship later.
20
It was August 1972, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. James H.

Taylor and Katie M. Taylor were at the hospital awaiting the birth of their
seventh child. Little did they know that the Lord would apprehend that
little boy when he turned seventeen and would call him to preach the
gospel and hold miracle crusades all over the world! Born to my mom and
dad before me were Kenneth, Sharon, Antonio, Angela, Richard (whom I
love dearly) and Marilyn, my closest sister in age and heart. After I was
born, my younger sister Zondra and baby brother Christopher joined the
family. Altogether, my parents had nine children.
My mother and father are great Christians. My father was a

minister of the Gospel for a period of time. He was a mighty prophet
moving in power and strength before he backslid and stopped ministering.
He quit the ministry while I was still very young. I did not know what
happened until my conversion at the age of seventeen. For many years,
my mom took us to a Baptist church. During the earlier days when my
parents were strong in ministry and serving the Lord in power, they
attended a Holy Ghost filled church, with a bishop by the name of
Cannon. He was more of an apostle and prophet. He moved very strongly
in signs and wonders. I was young at the time and did not know about all
this. My mother told me years later how God used Bishop Cannon. My
parents knew about the move of the Holy Spirit. However, my father
became discouraged due to a large church split that occurred after Bishop
Cannon's death, therefore, he stopped going and stopped taking us to
church, but he made us go to the Baptist church with our mother.
Our mom took us to church every Sunday and we had bible study
at home. I always enjoyed it when my mom would sit us down and teach
us out of the Word of God. I was always very inquisitive about the
supernatural in different bible stories, but not even those experiences
brought me into the dimension and realm in God that my first personal
encounter with Jesus did. I believe it took an intimate relationship and
personal encounter to win me and the Lord knew that, which is why He
came. I thank God for my mother and father who brought me up and
taught me about the things of God, but that did not stop me from joining
a gang and living a riotous life. There was a great transformation and
21
change in my life when Jesus appeared to me in that dream. I must add

that it was not only the visitation that I had from Jesus that changed my
life, He also sent a young man named Randale Jackson into my life to
witness to me which led up to that visitation from the Lord.
Randale and I were members of the same church, Mount Zion

Missionary Baptist Church where G.E. Patterson, whom I love dearly,
was pastor. While Randale was traveling, he was introduced to Maranatha
Ministries in Nashville, Tennessee. Maranatha Ministries was a spirit
filled ministry unlike the Baptist church that I attended at that time. I
realize that today that many in the Baptist Church are being baptized with
the Holy Ghost! When Randale was away in college, God baptized him
with the Holy Spirit. He came back to Memphis witnessing to young
people and God specifically had him key in on me, witnessing to me week
after week. He would pick me up, spend time with me, and tell me about
Jesus. He was the only young man I saw at the church that was on fire.
After my conversion, I noticed that there was something different about
him. This young man had the baptism of the Holy Spirit and he was not
ashamed of what he had received from God like so many others were.
God's Power Revealed: I Receive the Baptism of the

Holy Ghost
I remember trying to give my life to the Lord like Randale after he
had witnessed to me and I remember telling him, "Listen I have tried to
do this, but I keep backsliding and making mistakes over and over again.
I did my part, God did not do His." Oh, how very wrong I was in my
thinking! I said, "I did my part, God did not do His. I am just going to go
to hell."
Then Randale turned to me and said, "If you want to live right,
you need the Holy Spirit." At the time, I was a Baptist and I did not know
who the Holy Spirit was. The only thing I knew about the Holy Ghost was
when the pastor would baptize someone and say, "I baptize you in the
Name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost." That was it!
22
I was at home on a cold Christmas Eve night 1989, it was about

11:00 p.m. and my light was the only one on in the house. I got on my
knees and I looked up to Heaven and said, "Lord, You came to me in a
dream and You showed me that You are real. If You are really real,
manifest Yourself to me more." I did not know what I was asking for! I
was just repeating what Randale had told me a few days earlier. I
continued, "And give me the Holy Spirit so that I may live right." After I
said those words, I suddenly heard the voice of God audibly in my room
the same way you would hear an announcer over the radio or someone
standing in front of you talking. His voice shook the room. God Almighty
was speaking to me!
He said, "Speak in tongues!" Now, you have to understand that I

knew nothing about the Holy Spirit, tongues, or spiritual gifts. The only
thing I knew about the Holy Ghost was that He was the third person
associated with the Trinity. I did not know what tongues were, nor did I
understand what God was asking of me. I knew that everyone else in the
house was asleep.
God spoke audibly again and said, "Speak in tongues." After He

said it the second time, I parted my mouth to ask Him what tongues were
and what He was asking me to do. As I parted my lips, a flame touched
my mouth and a language came out of me that I had never heard before.
I began to talk to him in a language that I did not even understand. A few
seconds went by before it stopped, and I still did not understand what just
happened. Intense glory filled my room and I thought I was going crazy.
You have to understand, I grew up in the Baptist church not knowing
anything about the Holy Ghost. I never read about Him or knew anything
about Him.
The Birthing of Intimacy

“Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore,” (Psalm
105:4)
This marked the beginning of a revolution in my life. Every

moment of my time was given to relationship and intimacy with Jesus, the
23
One I had seen five days earlier in the dream. I was praying, reading the
Word, and seeking God intensely every day. After I saw Jesus face to face,
I knew then that He was truly alive like He said, and that meant everything
else in the Bible was true as well. I wanted all of it! I went after Him, and
the more I sought Him, the more he came to me and appeared to me again
and again, at different times and intervals. As I intensified my pursuit of
the Lord, he continued to come to me personally and consistently. That is
what the word says, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you,”
(James 4:8).
I am not exaggerating when I tell you that my room was engulfed

with the atmosphere of Heaven and clouds. It was literally lifted to the
atmosphere of Heaven. My room at my mom's home, where I lived, did
not have a door, so I had to put a bed sheet at the entryway. Before I put
up a sheet every single day, a glistening angel with a sword would be at
the door and no one could get in. It was like I was not even at home. My
mom was worried about me because I stayed in my room for hours, and
even days, at a time. I would come out and fellowship with the family at
times, but for the most part I was caught up experiencing heavenly things
in my room. It was Heaven on earth!
I remember one time I was so hungry for God and I was intensely
reading the Word all that day. I did not come out of my room. As I was
reading, I was caught up into that glorious presence of God again and
began fellowshipping and opening my heart to Him. I would tell Him how
much I loved Him and wanted to know Him. I continued reading the
Word until I was very sleepy and dozing off. I shook myself to wake up
because I wanted to keep reading.
Suddenly I heard His voice say, "Go to sleep now." Then, Psalm
127:2 came to me, “He giveth His beloved sleep.”
I replied, "Lord, just a few more minutes." And I stayed up reading

a little bit more.
My Bible was open in my hands when I heard the Lord say again,
"Go to sleep now.” But I still did not because I wanted a little bit more
time to read. As I was sitting with my eyes fully opened and with my Bible
24
in my hands, suddenly, it shut by itself. It closed as if I had taken my hands

and closed it. One of my hands was still flat inside the Bible. God shut the
Bible and said, "I said go to sleep now.” The Bible speaks of this, “Much
study is a weariness of the flesh,” (Ecclesiastes 12:12).
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat
upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance,”
(Acts 2:1-4).
As I searched the scriptures day after day, I came across the second
chapter of Acts where the one hundred twenty disciples received the
baptism of the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues. I jumped up and
exclaimed, "That’s what happened to me!” Suddenly, I saw my life in the
pages of the Bible. This is what I want you to understand: I did not know
about speaking in tongues, when I read it in the Bible, it was like a new
revelation to me. Jesus came into my life by revelation, and the baptism of
the Holy Spirit came into my life by revelation as well. It was ecstasy! I
continued to seek God intensely because I knew there was more to Him
than what I had seen in the church. I began to seek the Lord asking Him
about the reality of Christ in the church. The more I sought the Lord, the
more He showed me how we are supposed to be moving with a greater
level of glory and power than the early church and the Old Testament
prophets and apostles. I did not see it happening and I began to get more
and more frustrated. I sought God continually and fasted every single day
that I could, and I saw Him give me answers. Some of these answers I will
share with you within the pages of this book.
It is my highest desire that as you go through this book, you will

fulfill the call of God on your life and inherit the awesome glory and riches
that belong to you by finding your spiritual lineage. Your spiritual lineage
is a major bridge into the Glory Realm. As this revelation is released and
received by the church, more of God’s glory will be released in our
25
generation and in our dispensation. This is your kingdom destiny and

eternal inheritance.

CHAPTER 2
The Fullness of Your Ministry Inheritance is only

Revealed by Your Knowledge of Lineage
Visitation: 2000 A.D.
In the year 2000, Jesus Christ appeared to me again at night,
during my sleep. Jesus came and took me to heaven and talked with me
concerning ministry and how He personally comes into every service at
the crusades in His glorified body to heal the people. Later, I discovered in
the Word that trips to heaven are an integral part of our search and
understanding of our inheritance in the saints. “For ask now of the days
that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man
upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether
there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard
like it?” (Deuteronomy 4:32).
God designed for part of your destiny to be discovered through

trips to heaven. That is why you are to “ask from the one side of heaven
29
unto the other.” That is exactly what happened to me. As I pursued the
Lord and diligently inquired why our generation was so bereft of the power
of God, he took me on this trip to heaven to give me the answers!
I need you to understand that there are major pieces of your

destiny that can be revealed to you through a trip to heaven. Jesus told
Nicodemus, “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things,” (John 3:12). What you are
reading in this book is what I would call “heavenly things.” Paul also
received many revelations through trips to heaven. “I knew a man in
Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or
whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught
up to the third heaven,” (2 Corinthians 12:2). These revelations Paul
received gave him great weight in winning many nations to the Lord!
In fact, Apostle Peter personally endorsed the deep mysteries and

revelations Paul brought down to the earth when he said, “And account
that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother
Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are
some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and
unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction,” (2 Peter 3:16). I’m praying that you will also receive trips to
heaven to gain a greater understanding of your destiny and what God has
preordained for you to walk in.
Introduced to Two Great Generals in Heaven

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask
thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee,”
(Deuteronomy 32:7).
During this trip to heaven, while I was with Jesus, He introduced

to me two great men who lived during the 18th and 19th centuries. These
men were great generals in their lifetimes. Of the two men, I recognized
Smith Wigglesworth. The other was an evangelist that I did not recognize.
However, I knew that he was a man God had used greatly on earth like
30
He had used Smith Wigglesworth. When Jesus introduced me to these two

men, He allowed both of them to talk to me. Even though I did not
recognize the evangelist with Smith Wigglesworth, he began talking to me
first. The first thing God wanted him to say to me was something
concerning my personal life, but he also gave me a message for the church.
The evangelist used an illustration to describe what he was saying

concerning the power that the church once walked in. He discussed how
the church has lost most of its power and is operating at a minimal amount
of the power that it was once given. He said, “As Christians, and the body
of Christ as a whole, we have lost much of what we gained in the early
church mentioned in the book of Acts.” With this statement, he pulled out
this huge powerful gun looking like a .45 and said, “This is what the
church used to have.” Then he pulled out a little .22 gun and said, “But
this is what the church is operating in now.”
Jesus was standing right there while he was talking, and He

allowed them to talk to me. I wondered why He simply did not tell me
what He wanted me to know. This lets you know that God will not tell
you everything Himself. He will also use other people to tell you critical
pieces of information about your destiny and assignment in life. Jesus was
still present with us as the evangelist finished illustrating this comparison
with the two guns. At this point, Smith Wigglesworth, who was standing
by, interjected and began talking to me. I noticed from this interaction the
order and protocol in heaven. The saints in Heaven only talk to you when
Jesus permits them to. They would not say anything to me until they knew
by the spirit that Jesus wanted them to speak to me. When I saw Smith
Wigglesworth, I noticed that he looked slimmer than he did in his pictures.
He was not as full faced, but he looked very healthy and well.
Smith Wigglesworth said to me, “David, God wants you to go

back and study all the great men and women of God that God used
significantly in the past.” While Smith Wigglesworth spoke to me, I knew
intuitively by the Spirit that he was talking about more than just the
generals that Roberts Liardon wrote about, because I had already studied
them. As a matter of fact, I was shocked that he was telling me to read
other books because when I studied his life on the earth, I found out that
31
he did not believe in reading other books and newspapers, not even
Christian books. However, in Heaven he was telling me to go study books
written by other men and women that God used in a special way. He
explained to me that this was his fault on earth. This is why the bible says
in Hebrews that when you get to New Jerusalem in heaven, you will
encounter “the spirits of just men made perfect,” (Hebrews 12:23). When
they were down here on Earth they were just, but up in heaven they have
been perfected. That is how I found out that we have to learn about others.
I knew that Smith Wigglesworth was referring to every great man

and woman of God tracing back to Jesus, John the Baptist, and beyond
them, to Elijah, Moses, and Abraham.
Smith Wigglesworth continued speaking to me, “Go back and

study the great men and women of God, for they possess a key element
that the church has lost. God cannot do what he really wants to do with
the church because they do not know their fathers. The church will not be
what God wants her to be if they do not recover this.” I was so encouraged
to hear a great father speak to the church in our generation.
This revelation was birthed during my study and pursuit of these

men and women of God! What Smith Wigglesworth said to me during
that trip to heaven took years for me to fully
understand. These words he spoke unleashed a major revelation in my life

that helped me to understand how to recover the ancient power and glory
that the early church and the prophets of old walked in. As you continue
to read this book, you will understand even more how groundbreaking this
revelation is to your destiny.
The Scriptural Foundation for this Revelation

Most visitations given to you from God will always have scriptural
backing and foundation. When I received this visitation with Smith
Wigglesworth, I did not understand the depth or the vast importance of
what he was being permitted to tell me. It took a year and a half for God
to fully reveal this visitation's purpose and to confirm it in the scriptures.
At the beginning of 2002, after a forty day fast, God revealed to me the
32
scriptural foundation for the statements of wisdom given to me by Smith

Wigglesworth. It is found in Job 8:8-10:
"For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the
search of their fathers: (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing,
because our days upon earth are a shadow:) Shall not they teach thee,
and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?"
I will teach more on this scripture shortly, but first I want to share
with you other revelations I received during my trip to heaven
The Importance of Intercessors in Your Life

“Brethren, pray for us,” (1 Thessalonians 5:25).
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free
course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be
delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith,”
(2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).
While I was in heaven after talking with these men, Jesus also
began to talk to me about electing three people who are on my ministry
staff to be personal intercessors for me. He taught me the importance of
having intercessors surrounding me, to fulfill the destiny He has planned
for me. Very often we think our personal intercession and prayer life is
enough to see God’s plan accomplished in our life, but that is not true. In
Acts 12, Peter would have lost his life prematurely if the church was not
praying for him. The intercession of the church through prayer rescued
Peter and preserved his destiny! “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but
prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him,” (Acts
12:5). Right after I returned from this trip to heaven, I appointed three
individuals in my ministry to personally intercede for me. I have been so
blessed by obeying the Lord!
A lot of things God revealed to me about my personal life came

through these intercessors. You see, God will not reveal everything about
your life to you directly. He will also use other people that He places in
your life to speak to you and to support your ministry with prayer. No
33
matter how close you are to God and no matter how great your destiny is,
you need intercessors to surround you with prayer! Even Jesus at the
Garden of Gethsemane appointed three of his disciples to pray and watch
with him. “And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul
is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me,”
(Matthew 26:37-38). Jesus often had Peter, James, and John pray with
him. “And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took
Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray,” (Luke
9:28). You are going to learn a major truth about how to inherit from your
spiritual lineage in this book, but you also need to understand that without
the prayer support of intercessors in your life, you can still lose what the
Lord gives you. You need prayer support for the fullness of your destiny
to unfold and to be secured!
The Fellowship of the Mystery

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given,
that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of
Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who
created all things by Jesus Christ,” (Ephesians 3:8-9).
During this trip, the Lord also talked to me about how He

personally comes and walks in the crusades and miracle services He
instructs me to have. That is why so many amazing signs, wonders, mighty
miracles, and healings break out in the crusades I hold in America and
around the world. In heaven, the Lord told me that He visits every crusade.
He showed me how He dwells and walks in me and how during the
crusades He comes out of me and walks among the people and heals them.
This manifestation is called the “Fellowship of Mystery.” Paul explains
what this is in Ephesians 3, and also in Colossians, “To whom God would
make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,” (Colossians 1:27).
That is why many people in my crusades get healed without me

ever touching them, the Lord Jesus touches them Himself! That is exactly
34
in line with what the bible says, “And what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people,” (2 Corinthians 6:16). So many other things happened
during this trip to heaven that I have outlined in great detail in the sequel
to the face to face book, My Trip to Heaven: Face to Face with Jesus. You
can read about the other things I experienced during this trip to heaven in
that book.
Smith Wigglesworth
Born on June 10, 1859 in Yorkshire England, Smith Wigglesworth
shook his generation for Jesus, demonstrating signs and wonders,
miracles, healings, and deliverances throughout the entire world. A native
of Great Britain and a Pentecostal pioneer, he has been credited for
bringing the Pentecostal movement to countries like Australia and New
Zealand. Smith Wigglesworth is known throughout history for his
aggressive and bold style of ministry. Touched by the Lord at a very early
age, Smith Wigglesworth was influenced greatly by his grandmother's
devotion to the Lord. On September 5, 1872, Wigglesworth was taken to
a church service by his dear grandmother where he experienced an
extremely strong presence of God in his life. It moved his heart toward the
things of God, where he wanted them by his own will. Shortly thereafter,
he married a woman named Polly with whom he had five children.
This led him to the Salvation Army. This organization was the
greatest spearhead in world evangelism at that time, and he and his wife
worked there and began to preach. She encouraged Wigglesworth to
preach, but due to a stuttering problem, he became frustrated and didn't
feel comfortable and refused to go further. Wigglesworth went to a healing
meeting and was baptized with the Holy Spirit. It was then that he became
interested in the healing ministry and was miraculously delivered. God
completely healed him in that meeting from the speech impediment that
had bothered him for so long. He once again was able to preach with
confidence. He became known for his unique style of "laying on of hands"
through punching and kicking people. As a result, the sickness or disease
the individual came in with would be totally healed.
35
One amazing miracle that happened in his ministry was when a

lady brought her little child who could not walk to him. He was on stage
when the woman brought the child and asked him to pray for him so that
he could walk. Smith Wigglesworth told the woman to put the child on
the stage, but the woman would not do it. You know, most of the time that
is our problem. When a man of God tells you to do something you must
do it if you want a miracle. The woman would not put the child on the
stage, so Smith Wigglesworth said, “Give him to me,” and she did. He
took the child, dropped him on the ground and kicked him off the stage.
When the little child landed on the floor, he landed on his feet and he
walked for the very first time in his life! That is real power!
In one Sunday afternoon service, a doctor brought in a patient

from the hospital who was near death. He was wearing a hospital gown
and was lying on a bed. The man had cancer and as the doctor continually
checked on him he discovered that the man was approaching death
rapidly. They brought the sick man to the front and Wigglesworth asked
where the cancer was located. The doctor replied that it was in the man's
stomach. Smith Wigglesworth wound up his fist and punched the man in
the stomach.
The doctor checked on the man and exclaimed, "You killed him!
You killed him! The family will sue you"! The man had in fact died in the
service. Wigglesworth didn't seem bothered by this and continued praying
for others. Suddenly, the man got up completely healed and started
walking around the church and praising God!
Wigglesworth simply replied, "Praise the Lord,” as he continued

praying for others. When asked why he hit and kicked people,
Wigglesworth replied, "I don't hit people, I hit the devil and the people just
get in the way!” One of his most famous quotes was, "Fear looks, faith
jumps.”
There was a total of twenty-three people who were raised from the
dead in the healing ministry of Smith Wigglesworth. He even brought his
wife Polly back from the dead.
36
She came back into her body and said, "Smith what are you doing?
I was with Jesus, let me go." He said he did not want her to leave him, but
she said that she had been with Jesus and did not want to come back. She
then died and went back to heaven. The reports of the people he raised
from the dead are so amazing! When I first preached this message on
Inheritance by Lineage, after I had just come from heaven, God verified
the message with a notable miracle. I was in a big service in Cleveland,
Ohio, when a woman died while I was teaching on what I am about to
share with you. This woman was carried into the service by four people.
She was dying of cancer and she was way past the date the doctors had
given her to live. As I was preaching the message, the people were catching
the revelation and the teaching anointing was very strong on me. Right at
the time the message was taking off, the devil tried to steal the message by
killing the woman. The woman died in the service and her family started
screaming and calling for the paramedics. If God had not intervened the
service would have been a disaster. I did not want to break the flow, I really
wanted to continue teaching despite what was going on.
As I stood behind the pulpit, still teaching, Jesus said to me, “Stop
the service and go back there and raise her from the dead.”
I stopped teaching and went back to where she was. She was lying
down dead on the floor. I told everybody to move away from her, and the
Lord told me to just breathe on her. So, I breathed on her three times and
she came alive! You must understand that you do not always have to lay
hands on people for them to be healed. You can breathe on them by the
Spirit. This lady did not just get up from the dead, she was totally healed
when she got up. All the cancer left her body and she could walk and
started running around the building when I told her to run. She was carried
in by four people and she left running around the church. The paramedics
were astounded at this miracle! That was resurrection power, and it all
happened because of inheritance.
The Church today is weak and lacks the power the early church
walked in because we do not understand legacy. We do not understand
inheritance - we work for everything. This is because the church has
disrespected the foundation of the fathers. We should not be doing less
37
than what Moses did, we should be doing greater. If the twelve apostles of
Jesus could turn the world upside down in one lifetime, and we have
thousands of churches all around the world, why then is the world in the
worst condition it has ever been in? We are supposed to be doing greater
than the former church. Why are we not? Something is fundamentally
wrong. In this book, I am going to show you why. It is primarily
because we do not know our inheritance. We must understand that we all

have a destiny and a calling on our lives, but we will never get to it if we
do not respect the fathers. After I connected with a father in heaven, Smith
Wigglesworth, the grace to raise the dead became stronger on my life and
ministry. It was all because of inheritance!
Smith Wigglesworth died on March 12, 1947, leaving behind a

great legacy. This was the man of God the Lord allowed me to talk with
in heaven during a special visitation. What he told me was so important.
Wigglesworth admonished me to go back and study all the great men and
women of God from the past. It took at least a year and a half for me to
find this particular visitation in the word.

CHAPTER 3
Ask of the Former Age
41
“God has established a covenant
with our fathers that He will not
forget to fulfill.”

CHAPTER 3
God has Established a Covenant with Our Fathers that

He will not Forget to Fulfill
The Former Rain
"For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the
and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?" (Job 8:8-10)
You are on earth to fulfill your destiny! You are not on earth for
nothing, or to just occupy space and mark time. You must understand that
your life has meaning. There is a purpose for your life as the bible says,
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them,” (Ephesians
2:10). Have you ever gone through life feeling as though there was
something more you should be doing and that your life just does not feel
43
complete? Let me say this, the reason why your life does not feel complete
is because you are missing something. If you go through life without
fulfilling what God has called you to do, you will feel like you are lacking,
empty, and void of what you really need. I want to share with you one of
the greatest revelations and a master key to your destiny.
The reason a lot of people do not understand what God is doing in

their lives is because they do not know what lineage they are in. When I
first preached this message, my staff and I had an awesome two-hour
conversation afterwards because the glory lingered after the service. The
people who stayed were truly blessed.
I remember one person on the staff saying, "Is that the reason
why someone on the staff had a dream about me glowing, because I am
from Moses' lineage?"
I said, “Yes, that is true." As you learn about your lineage and the
inheritance that belongs to you, you will begin to recognize why God gives
you dreams about certain areas of your life. It is because of the lineage that
you are from! When you understand this, you will begin to understand the
who, what, when, where, how, and why of your life.
If people would study their ancestors, fathers and mothers, and the
fathers before them, they would truly understand the reason why they do
the things they do. This explains why they exhibit certain characteristics,
go through certain attacks, and even suffer certain sicknesses in their lives.
Iniquities, sins, and even the good things in our lives are passed down
through lineage. God designed it to be that way. Lineage and inheritance
deal with government. God governs the world by lineage and by
inheritance.
When God wanted to create a whole world full of people, He

created two people - a man and a woman - and told them to reproduce.
He did not create ten thousand people and say, "Now fill up the
earth." He created one man and one woman, one father and one mother.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them,” (Genesis 1:27). God laid the
44
foundation of government by the family, through inheritance, and by

lineage. If you go all the way back and understand God’s order of things,
you will understand why you do the things you do and act the way you
act. You will understand where certain behaviors come from and move to
correct them instead of accepting things the way that they are in your life.
Retrieving Your Inheritance

Job 8:8 says, "For enquire." The word “enquire” in this context
of scripture means “to ask.” I always enjoy sitting with one of the
mothers of our church. I will go and sit with her at various times and
glean from her. Not only her, but other great older men and women of
God who, in their past, have been around many great people before my
time. I will go to them and ask, "What was it like being in those glorious
services?" What am I doing? I am enquiring of the former age.
I have asked these things of elders and people who lived during the
times of A.A. Allen, William Branham, and Smith Wigglesworth. I am
telling you that a whole generation is dying out and a new one is coming
in. I am asking God to connect me with as many of the old greats as
possible before they die so that I might glean from them. I hate not having
had the opportunity to talk with Lester Sumrall before he went home to be
with the Lord. Lester Sumrall was a powerful man of God who walked
with Smith Wigglesworth. In fact, Smith Wigglesworth laid hands upon
him and God used Lester Sumrall in a strong deliverance ministry. I asked
the Lord to let me talk with them. If we do not have fathers, then who will
tell us about their fathers? This is why the Bible says that we must enquire.
This means that you must ask around. This knowledge will not be learned
sitting-down with your mouth closed. If you really want something, you
will go after it! You must arise and go after the things of God for yourself.
"Enquire, I pray thee, of the former age,” (Job 8:8). What is the
former age? The “former age" denotes the age and generation before you.
Who are your former parents? Your forefathers are the ones that lived
before your parents. The former age is the older generation. The former
age does not refer to just the generations of elder brothers but of the fathers.
Job 8:8 admonishes us to "enquire" or search after "the former age" or the
45
ages of those before us, which are our fathers. This means that you have
to find out who your spiritual father is.
Now, the next part of Job 8:8 says, "Prepare thyself to the search
of their fathers." Preparing yourself deals with making yourself ready. It
means to take a spiritual journey to find who your fathers are.
The Lord spoke to me and said, "The reason it is necessary for you
to study this is because in this last hour, I will not pour out the latter rain
only, but I will pour out the former and the latter rain together.” Joel
prophesied this event when he said, “Be glad then, ye children of Zion,
and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former
rain, and the latter rain in the first month,” (Joel 2:23). Do you see how
Joel prophesied that both the former and latter rain will fall in the same
month? The bible also says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know
the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come
unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth,” (Hosea
6:3). Apostle James in the New Testament also said, “Be patient therefore,
brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth
for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he
receive the early and latter rain,” (James 5:7).
You see, the latter rain cannot be given until we understand what
God did through our fathers in the former rain. In order to fully understand
and operate in the former rain, you must know the people that moved and
walked in it so you can learn and catch it. A lot of the churches want the
new things of God, but they do not know the former things. As a matter
of fact, they are weaker than the former and it is not supposed to be this
way! The reason the church is weaker than it used to be, is because they
do not know how God moved in the past through our fathers in the church.
The church rarely hears of what the past was, and they do not prepare
themselves for the search of the fathers. To search does not just mean to
“inquire," but to examine deeply and intimately. Searching goes beyond
asking. When you are looking for your father and mother, all you have to
do is inquire. On the other hand, when you are looking for your great-
great-grandmother and great-great-grandfather, you have to search deeply.
46
You must go way, way, back. This means you must prepare yourself to
study. You must prepare and bridle yourself and get into a place to begin
your search.
The Covenant of the Fathers

"For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the
search of their fathers," (Job 8:8).
“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise

might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,”
(Romans 4:16).
In other words, God is not only telling us to study who our

spiritual fathers and mothers are, but to go a step further and study who
their spiritual fathers and mothers were. The bible says that we are to
inquire of the former age, the people who were before us, and to prepare
to search their fathers. This is the reason we go back to study and search
fathers. God has established a covenant with our fathers that He will not
forget to fulfill. He will fulfill every covenant of your father and their
fathers of every generation. The foundation of this covenant was
established with Abraham in Genesis 17: “As for me, behold, my covenant
is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. And I will establish
my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy
seed after thee,” (Genesis 17:4,7). God told Abraham that He would make
a covenant with him and with his seed after him.
There are a lot of things passed down to you and you may not
know why. This is because God has made a covenant with the fathers in
your lineages who died. The covenant, however, continued within the
same lineage that you happen to be in. The reason I carry what I am
carrying on my life from God is not because I am special, but it is because
of a covenant God made with my Fathers long ago. Today, this
inheritance is now coming to me. The scriptures exemplify this. God said
to Isaac, “And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I
47
am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will
bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake,” (Genesis
26:24). Isaac was greatly blessed because he inherited the covenant God
established with his father, Abraham. I simply chose to receive my
inheritance because I searched out what lineage I am in. That's why I have
come into more, because I have sought after more. Since I have sought for
more, I have received the inheritance that's in my spiritual lineage.
There is a process to retrieve your inheritance:
o First, you must identify who your spiritual fathers are.
o Second, you must prepare yourself for the search of even

their fathers.
o Third, you must search and trace your roots back to the
days of the Bible, because your spiritual lineage traces in
ministry back to the Bible days.
God made a covenant with our fathers and He never will forget
the covenant He made. That is why the Bible says, “For the LORD thy
God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor
forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them,”
(Deuteronomy 4:31). God came to Jacob and said to him, “I am the LORD
God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou
liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed,” (Genesis 28:13). God is very
faithful to his covenants and he keeps them!
God is saying that you should not just ask about the generals that
lived in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, but you must also
ask about those people in the beginning, when God made man on the
earth. "For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since
the day that GOD created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side
of Heaven unto the other," (Deuteronomy 4:32). You must search the
fathers all the way back to Adam and Eve, the first father and mother, the
first man and woman. What lineage are you from that traces back to Adam
and Eve? Many people and lineages came through Adam and Eve. And
48
one major father you have to study is Abraham, who God says is "the
father of us all," (Romans 4:16).
Learning from the Life of the Fathers

“Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their
heart?” (Job 8:10)
You must understand the real direct and indirect lineage you are
from. Job 8:10 says, "Shall not they teach you?" You can learn from
someone's life whether they did something bad or good. In other words, a
person's life speaks words. You have to be careful about the way you live
because your lifestyle speaks words to people. When you go back and
study the lives of people like Smith Wigglesworth, Alexander Dowie, and
William Branham, you should come back with one key principle. For
example, William Branham's whole life says one thing to me from God.
His life says God can use you greatly in the supernatural, but no matter
how great He uses you, "Stay in your call and don't get out of it."
William Branham was a greatly gifted and mighty prophet that

God used very powerfully. However, when he stepped away from his
divinely ordained calling as a prophet into the teaching office, he made
several mistakes that caused his ministry to end prematurely. That is a
lesson Branham’s life taught us.
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible

things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot,” (1 Peter 1:18-19).
As I began to study the former age, I began to look at different

families. I noticed, in my own family tree, the mistakes my father and
mother made that were passed down. I have noticed by looking at natural
family lineages that the same types of things that happened to the parents
happen to the children. For example, if a mother had a baby out of
wedlock you will usually see the same thing happen to her daughter. You
see this all the time. This is a family inheritance that is passed down
whether it's good or bad. As a matter of fact, you are going to inherit what
49
was in your father's or mother's genealogy, but through Jesus, you can stop
the negative things from coming down. As the Bible says, “Forasmuch as
ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and
gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers,” (1 Peter 1:18). The phrase “received by tradition from your
fathers” comes from one Greek word “patroparadotos,” which means
something handed down or transmitted to you from your fathers.
There are some things and behavioral patterns in your life you
received from the fathers. They were handed down to you from the former
age. Jesus has provided redemption by his blood from vain or unprofitable
things you inherited from your fathers! However, if you don't know that
these things are coming, and make no preparation to stop them, they will
come. You will repeat the same mistakes of your father or lineage.
Whatever your father or mother did, spiritually or naturally, will be passed
to you. That is why the Word says, "Prepare yourself to the search of their
fathers."
In marriages, there are couples that have one set of parents still
together, however, the other set of parents are divorced. If the couple does
not prepare themselves against divorce, they will find themselves getting a
divorce also. Whichever family is dominant will be the one whose traits
are passed down. That is how lineage works, God made this law of lineage,
and it works. Whether positive or negative, saved or unsaved, you will
inherit something from someone.
You may say, "my mother and father didn't get divorced, so where
did it come from?" You have to go back, still further, and look at their
parents. Sometimes you have to go further back to not only their parents,
but also their parents before them. You may discover that your parents
may have prepared themselves to stop that cycle from operating in their
marriage, therefore, divorce skipped over them. Nonetheless, the devil will
still attempt to bring divorce to another generation. It is necessary to find
out what your parents did to prevent divorce so that it won't happen to
you. Lineage is very powerful. For this reason, it is important for you to
study your family's lineage.
50
Whether good or bad, you are going to inherit something from

someone. It is possible to jump over the ditches of failure in your lineage
and hit the bull’s eye every time, having success with God and with
yourself. If you go back and study, you will begin to discover why you are
the way you are and why you do certain things. Some of the actions you
do are because of what your father and mother did. Some of the things that
you do naturally can be a hereditary habit from your father and mother. I
have noticed that I sometimes do some of the things that my father does.
For example, I pull up my pants a lot when I speak. My natural father does
that quite a bit. It is hereditary. I am just using simple descriptions to show
you the point. When you watch the simple things, you will see the power
of lineage. God set an order in the earth, just like He set an order in the
heavens. He set the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth in motion. He
set them to stay in the same position of motion at all times. He also set an
order with lineage, and if you don't do what you are supposed to, and do
not change your course of action, then that negative thing in your lineage
will happen to you.
Let's look at Jesus as an example. The Bible says, “And so it is

written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit,” (1 Corinthians 15:45). Jesus came as the second
Adam, or “last Adam,” and it changed the course and direction of many
things for the good. However, the first Adam did the opposite. The first
Adam through disobedience brought sin, death, and judgment upon all
men. On the other hand, Jesus (the last Adam) through his obedience,
reversed all of that and brought righteousness, life, and justification for all
men. “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous,” (Romans 5:19). If
you do not change the flow of things that come to you for the good through
inheritance, then it will happen.
Let's examine parents. If the father is an alcoholic, then generally

one of his sons or daughters will usually become an alcoholic. It is
hereditary. This is not just a spirit, but it is also the iniquities and sins of
that generation’s lifestyle or blood-style and bloodline. A blood-style is
made up of genes. Genes are transferred within a lineage and are what
make us similar to the generations before us. Our DNA is what makes us
51
different. Natural science and the medical field are discovering more and
more that the Bible is right. As Deuteronomy 12:23 says, "The life is in the
blood."
Scientist and doctors have found that when a parent has a certain
sickness, then their children or grandchildren may receive it. They have
found out that the sickness, alcohol habit, or drug addiction are traits (or
a curse) that are passed from the father or mother and are inherited by the
sons and daughters. Therefore, whatever trait or problem gets in the life of
a father or mother, that same trait is passed when the genes are inherited
by the children through the blood. As the bible says, “And they that are
left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also
in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them,” (Leviticus
26:39). This is why you should watch the way you live because what you
do and pickup in life, you pick it up in your bloodline and it's passed on to
the next generation. This explains why three people in a family lineage
may die from cancer. If the mother dies from cancer, you usually see some
of her sons and daughters die of cancer. It goes down the line. Why? This
happens because the genetic information for cancer was passed through
the blood.
You may have more dominant traits from your mother than from
your father, from your grandmother, or there even may be a cross between
the two. As I shared earlier in this chapter, a person's life speaks words.
That is why you have to be careful about how you live. You must guard
your lifestyle because it speaks to many. Your life has a very powerful
voice and that life, as mentioned earlier, deals with the blood. Abel's blood
spoke from the ground as the bible says, “And he said, What hast thou
done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground,”
(Genesis 4:10). That is how powerful the blood is that God made in our
body.
Jesus' blood also speaks louder, better, and more powerful things
than the blood of your relative’s genetic curse that is coming to you. That
is why Jesus had to pay with blood for blood because the life is in our
blood. God made the blood of Jesus so powerful that it speaks louder than
the genes in our blood. As the Bible says, “And to Jesus the mediator of
52
the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel." (Hebrews 12:24). It is like snow. When snow
falls, if it gets high enough, it can level the whole plain. There can be fences
and various things separating different levels, but snow can make
everything seem level.
Let me share something with you, dear reader. When the

generational traits of your fathers and mothers are not dealt with in your
life, you will portray more characteristics of your own culture rather than
God’s Kingdom culture. You can hinder people from different
nationalities that God may be sending into your life because they do not
see Jesus, they see you. When you carry the dominant traits of your
natural father and mother, it isn't of God. You have a lot of things in you
that people can visibly see. They can see it, but they can't always put their
hands on it. It isn't anything that you are doing wrong, but it's your
demeanor and your lifestyle or blood-style. They do not see Jesus, instead
they see more of the culture you represent. They see more of you. Do you
understand what I am saying? That turns them off. They do not want to
be a part and this is what is hurting the church today. We look too much
like our culture instead of Jesus. Your father and mother have great traits
that God put in them that you need, but you must find out what they are.
What are the dominant traits that God put in them that you need, and
what are the ones that are not of Him that you don't need?

CHAPTER 4
Prepare Yourself to Search Your Fathers
55
“When you find the lineage you

are called to, God can bless you
with the inheritance.”
72
CHAPTER 4
When You Find the Lineage You are Called to, God can
Bless You with the Inheritance.
Searching Your Fathers
“For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the
and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?” (Job 8:8-10).
The Bible tells us that we should inquire and search the former age,
which are those who were here before us and even the fathers before them.
You must know that the purpose of this is that the former age has gone
through and mastered certain things and they have also laid certain
foundations that other generations have not done. If we learn how they
succeeded and where they failed, we will not make the same mistakes.
Rather, we will catapult from the success that they established and will
avoid having to go and back track through that success. We would move
57
on from their position and go to another level by taking what they did to a
higher level.
God places fathers in the spirit. He is the only one who places
spiritual authority there. The reason a lot of people and their ministries do
not flourish is because they are not planted. To flourish and fulfill your
destiny in life, you have to be planted in a ministry and be submitted to a
father, a spiritual authority. “Those that be planted in the house of the
LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth
fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing,” (Psalm 92:13-14). A lot
of people want ministries like Joyce Meyer’s and other big ministries. They
have a vision and maybe God has really given it to them. However, if you
notice, many people die and go to the grave and never fulfill anything God
told them. They are missing an important element: inheritance is
important! I am not only talking about natural inheritance, I am talking
about spiritual inheritance. There is a reason God told you to submit under
the ministry you are in. There is a reason God told you to submit to that
authority. I am writing this for your sake because I want to see you blessed.
Excelling Beyond the Fathers

“The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many
more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!” (Deuteronomy
1:11)
God always wants the sons and daughters to excel much greater
than their fathers. God wants our generation to do more than the church
before us has ever done. The heart of God is still the same. We are to do
more than A.A. Allen. We are to do more than Kathryn Kuhlman. We
must do more! Jacob said to his sons before he died, “The blessings of thy
father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost
bound of the everlasting hills,” (Genesis 49:26). At the end of Jacob’s life,
he could claim that God had blessed him much greater than his
progenitors, that is, his fathers. That is God’s desire for you!
God is about to bring apostolic order back to the church. God is

commanding us to search the fathers. We must search for the fathers. God
58
did not start blessing me until I started searching for the fathers of my
inheritance. When I found my lineage and my spiritual fathers, God began
to bless my ministry and I began to inherit more. This was about twenty-
five years ago. The ministry you see today, is not the way it began, and is
no reflection of all the things God has done over the past twenty-seven
years and will continue to do. The things that God has done for millions
of people around the world, especially in America, came when I found my
spiritual father and my spiritual inheritance. You must find your lineage,
and you must find your destiny. One of the things the Word of God says
in Psalm 42:7, is that "deep calleth unto deep." You feel a drawing to a
certain ministry because that ministry is your lineage. When you find the
lineage you are called to, then God can bless you with the inheritance.
Many Instructors, Few Fathers

“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not
many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel,”
(1 Corinthians 4:15).
When I was searching for my spiritual fathers, I realized I had

many instructors. There are men in the gospel and ministry who are like
fathers. I treat them as fathers and I behave myself like a son to them, but
they are not my spiritual fathers. I call them fathers because I submit to the
fathership on their life. There are many fathers in the Body of Christ today,
but just because they are fathers to other people in the realm of the spirit,
does not necessarily mean they are your spiritual fathers. My old apostle
in Charleston, South Carolina, who I studied under, was like a father to
me. I submitted as a son to him, but he wasn't my spiritual father. He was
not in my direct lineage. He had a portion of my calling, he was an apostle,
which is one of the calls that God has placed on my life, but he was not
directly in my lineage.
God gives you fathers on three different levels: in your personal

life naturally, pastorally, and then in ministry. Sometimes, if your natural
father won’t be a father to you, then God will use a preacher or someone
else who will be that to you. You have to identify who your spiritual father
is as a pastor because your spiritual father in ministry for your destiny
59
calling may not be the same as your pastor. Your spiritual father in
ministry may not even have the pastoral calling and ministry on him.
Benny Hinn is not a pastoral father in my life, but he is a spiritual father in
ministry and for my destiny calling. You need spiritual fathers on different
levels.
Even as apostles, prophets, or any other fivefold office we may

have, we still need pastors in our lives. What makes us think that God has
called us to be prophets and apostles to people, but we can’t receive from
anyone? That is a wrong spirit. For example, prophets who do not submit
to a local pastor are not complete. It does not matter how powerful you
are, you still need a pastor in your life. Your pastoral father may not do
anything for you, ministry wise, but, pastorally, that office grounds you on
a week to week basis. They have wisdom to speak into your life to help get
you to your calling in life. Without pastors, you would not even be able to
make it to the next point. These are leaders that God puts in your life to
train, mentor, and develop character in you so that you can be ready for
your destiny.
You also have fathers in ministry who are fathers to your destiny.
These are fathers to the calling on your life and you are in their lineage.
Your pastor may not necessarily be your father in ministry, but God has
placed him in your life to shepherd you to your destiny. It is your father in
ministry who connects you to your lineage.
There is Wealth in Your Inheritance

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them
that see the sun,” (Ecclesiastes 7:11).
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be

partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,” (Colossians 1:12).
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints,” (Ephesians 1:17-18).
60
Now, as long as you have a calling you will need an inheritance to

get it done. Knowing your lineage connects you to your inheritance and
you must know your spiritual lineage by tracing it all the way back to the
Old Testament scriptures. That's why the scriptures say we should not only
study what they did, but we must also claim the inheritance in the lineage.
We need to trace our lineage so we can claim all our inheritance and walk
in it. If you didn't know your father left you a million dollars, how could
you go claim it? You could be homeless, and living on the street in a
cardboard box, not even knowing that you have an inheritance waiting for
you. You could be walking in only half of your inheritance or none of it at
all. You may never know the fullness of your inheritance because you
didn't know it belonged to you.
You may have wisdom about what your calling is, but you need
your spiritual inheritance to be able to fulfill your destiny calling. That is
why Solomon said, “Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there
is profit to them that see the sun.” What happens to a son whose parents
left him nothing when they died? What can such a son do in life? And if
he does achieve anything in life, he has to work very hard to get it. But, if
he has an inheritance from his parents, he can make a lot of progress if he
does not foolishly waste the inheritance like the prodigal son. This is “the
riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints” that Paul spoke about
in Ephesians. When you find your father, you know the inheritance that
is left to you. That inheritance matches your call. It gives you the spiritual
wealth that brings all that money for you to fulfill your call.
Most people do not fulfill their call because they do not get the
backing of wealth to do it. And that is why Moses instructed the children
of Israel, “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that
giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which
he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day,” (Deuteronomy 8:18). God gives
you the wealth to establish his covenant with you on the earth. No matter
how many dreams and visions God has showed you in the spirit, it is
another thing to make those things shown you materialize in the physical
and natural realm, and it takes wealth and money to do it. Well, that
wealth comes through a system of inheritance. It comes through the riches
of the glory, and that is also why Paul said, “But my God shall supply all
61
your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” (Philippians

4:19). There it is again! God has riches in the glory realm to take care of
all your needs.
So, this is the thing you must understand, all the wealth and money
to cover all your needs in the physical realm comes out of the realm of the
glory. It comes out of the realm of glory which is also where the inheritance
comes from. If you can find the inheritance of your spiritual fathers, that
is, the saints in the light, you can then find money to finance the call on
your life. Every need you have will be taken care of! When I found this
out, all kinds of stuff came to me that I did not have to pay for. I did not
have to preach several messages on sowing and reaping to raise money to
buy private jets. As soon as I discovered my lineage and traced it all back
to the Old Testament, I started coming into my spiritual inheritance. Two
billionaires gave me one private jet each. I had these two private jets given
to me very early in my ministry. I had people giving me things that other
preachers had to spend several years preaching on money to get.
When you find your destiny calling, there is an inheritance there.

There is wealth there. There is money in the physical realm for you. If you
do it any other way, you will miss great blessings and the things that God
has always intended for your life. You do not have to wait a whole life
time to get what I am talking about, you just need to live long enough to
find out who you are and what you are called to do, then God will give
you the money and other resources you need for your assignment.
We Know Nothing
"(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon
earth are a shadow:) Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter
words out of their hearts?" (Job 8:9-10).
In other words, “We are but of yesterday.” Think of how many

years we are going to live on the earth. Fifty? Seventy? “The days of our
years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut
off, and we fly away,” (Psalm 90:10). What is seventy or even eighty years
62
compared to all the men and women who have come before us and over
many centuries accumulated a massive amount of information? Over the
years, since the beginning of the earth, so much has been accomplished
and established by the previous generations. We would never progress if
we had to go back, start afresh, and relearn all that the former generations
learned. We only have seventy years, we would not be able to capture it
all in a lifetime.
In other words, we need to learn what our fathers’ lives have

spoken and captured by inheritance. What took our fathers years to
experience can happen to us in just a moment. That is what inheritance is.
The scripture says, "Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words
out of their heart," (Job 8:10). In fact, Jesus told his disciples, “I sent you
to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye
are entered into their labours,” (John 4:38). Jesus taught his disciples the
need to tap into the inheritance laid up by the previous generations in
ministry.
You see there are people who were put here years before we were,
men and women of God, who learned great truths and mysteries over
many years that we have not. We are just now coming here and some of
us are just now beginning to discover that there is something great that
God has upon our life. We will waste precious time if we try to figure
things out on our own. It is best to go back and study the lives of other
men and women who preceded us and have them teach us out of their
hearts. The bible says, “Say not thou, What is the cause that the former
days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning
this,” (Ecclesiastes 7:10). Do you know why Solomon said that? If you
would just go back and study the lives of the fathers and honor what they
did, you can then combine and amalgamate all that knowledge and build
on from there. You can do better! You can go further!
The Heart of the Fathers

“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of
the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse,”
(Malachi 4:6).
63
What is the heart of a father? The heart of a father is to love and to

honor his children. Now to better understand the heart of a father, you
have to understand the spiritual concept of hearts in the bible. The parable
of the sower in Matthew 13 demonstrates the power of hearts. A stony
ground is a heart of offense that wilts under pressure and produces no fruit.
However, a good and honest heart produces great fruit. The heart you
develop is the spiritual currency that enables you to buy things from God!
The Lord Jesus taught me this face to face, and I have a great teaching on
hearts that I recommend you get to better understand this mystery.
So, here is the point. There are many hearts described in the Bible,
and each heart produces something different in your life. A pure heart will
cause you to see God, a meek heart will cause you to inherit the earth, a
wise heart will bring you into great wealth, and a heart of integrity will
cause you to experience supernatural preservation. If you develop the right
kind of heart you can have and walk in what you desire. The heart of a
husband is to honor, love, cherish, and nourish his wife. The heart of a
husband is not to love his children. It takes a different heart, the heart of a
father, to love children. What is the heart of a wife? The heart of a wife is
to love, submit, and reverence her husband, not to love her children. To
love your children is the heart of a mother. You see, you have different
hearts corresponding to the different offices you function in. As a man,
you may have different offices. You may function as a husband if you are
married, a father if you have children, and a worker if you have a job.
So, what is the heart of a teacher? To instruct. What is the heart of

an apostle? To govern. What is the heart of an evangelist? To win souls.
What is the heart of a pastor? To shepherd the flock. Each office has the
heart of something. What is the heart of a business man? To establish and
grow a business. Therefore, whatever heart you have determines who you
really are. Jesus revealed who he was at heart when he said, “…I am meek
and lowly in heart,” (Matthew 11:29). A true father has the heart of a father
- such a man will naturally and easily love and honor his children. A true
son has the heart of a child - he will naturally love and obey his father
Whenever I hear messages on the healing ministry, apostolic

authority, or putting things in order, my heart ticks. I know that this is
64
what I am called to do because my heart is there. I love all the fivefold

offices, but when it comes to just the pastoral office, my heart does not
explode over that. But my heart gets excited over the apostolic and
prophetic offices, the rivers of my heart turn there. You can have other
gifts and offices that God has put on your life, but your heart only ticks
strong or gets excited over what you are really called to do. When Malachi
says, “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers,” he is not talking about
hearts of husbands or hearts of wives, although they could be husbands
and wives. I am trying to give you a definition of what the heart of a father
is by giving you the definition of what it isn’t.
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life,"
(Proverbs 4:23).
Remember that the heart organ is what pumps blood and oxygen
throughout your body to support life. The bible says, “For the life of the
flesh is in the blood…” (Leviticus 17:11). Your heart tells your life, because
out of your heart are the issues of your life. That means your heart tells
you what you are. In other words, what your heart really explodes over
and gets excited over tells who you really are. Are you excited over
entrepreneurship? Then you are a business man. The issues of your heart
show what your life is really about. What makes your heart beat fast? What
do you enjoy doing? What brings your heart the greatest joy? That is what
you are spiritually.
One of the major keys to finding your destiny is in your heart. God
will put it in your heart. That is why the bible says, “The king's heart is in
the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever
he will,” (Proverbs 21:1). God has actually put in your heart the design for
what you are to be! In Exodus we learn that God actually put the grace to
teach in the heart of Bezaliah and Aholiab. The bible says, “And he hath
put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart,
to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman,
and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen,
and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise
cunning work,” (Exo 35:34-35). Bezaliah and Aholiab were teachers and
65
craftsmen because God put that in their heart! What has God put in your
heart?
Abraham had the heart of a father because you could see how
much he yearned to have a child. God put that in his heart. When God
visited Abraham and promised to be his exceedingly great reward, he
could have asked for great riches and wealth, but Abraham’s only desire
was for children. The bible says, “And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt
thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this
Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no
seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir,” (Genesis 15:2-3). Later,
after God blessed Abraham with Isaac, you could see how much Abraham
loved his son.
The very first time the word love was used in the Bible was when
God spoke of the love Abraham had for his son Isaac. In Genesis 22 when
God visited Abraham he said, “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac,
whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him
there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee
of,” (Genesis 22:2). The heart of a true father is to love and honor his
children. Abraham did that. He loved his son Isaac and he even ensured
that he had a good wife before he died. However, many men, like King
Hezekiah, do not have the true heart of a father.
“And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall
they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of
Babylon. Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the
LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and
truth be in my days?” (2 Kings 20:18-19).
There are many men who do not have the heart of a father. They
may have children, but that alone does not mean that they have the heart
of a father. These men are selfish and only care for themselves. King
Hezekiah was a great king who brought a powerful revival in Judah, but
he did not have the heart of a father. In the 2 Kings passage, we see the
Prophet Isaiah warning Hezekiah of an impending judgment that would
66
skip his life but hit his children in the next generation. Surprisingly, the
great revivalist, King Hezekiah, was not disturbed by that message.
In fact, he said, “Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?”

He was only concerned about his life. Though he was a great king, he was
not a good man according to Solomon’s definition of a good man. “A good
man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children,” (Proverbs 13:22).
He was not at all concerned about how things would be in the lifetime of
his own seed. No wonder his son Manasseh became the worst of all the
kings of Judah. The temple was destroyed and all of Judah went into
captivity in the next generation after Hezekiah died.
Ask of the Days Past

“For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the
day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of
heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this
great thing is, or hath been heard like it?” (Deuteronomy 4:32).
Why do you suppose we are to ask for the days that are past? It is
so you can know what you are getting. What good is it if your father left
you a million dollars but you didn't know he left it to you? You could never
go to court and claim it. What good is it for something to be left to you
and you don't know what you have? The Bible says that God made a
covenant with our fathers in the past, but we have to ask about it. We have
to inquire about what He gave them, so we know what we are to receive.
The passage of scripture in Deuteronomy 4:32 means to go all the

way back to the days when God created a man upon the earth. Now do
you understand why we have to go back and study great men and women
of the past, and not just try to do our own ministry in this hour? You can
never go further than your father if you have to go back and do what he
did. Inheritance is what causes you to go farther than those before you, not
laboring in your pride to do everything yourself!
One day the Lord came to me while I was brushing my hair in the
bathroom. The Lord said, "Son, don't ever feel bad. Every great man of
God that I used powerfully had to come through a lineage. They came
67
through a father that was already living. Man comes through a lineage and
so did I." He added, "Many people only relate to me as a son of God, but
I was also a son of man. As a man, I came through my forefathers, not
only by genealogy but also by spiritual lineage." Then he said, "I'm going
to show you how, and when you know this, you won't have to apologize
for the type of ministry you have."
I received this visitation from the Lord in a season of my life when

I was going through intense persecution from many people. These people
were saying that I'm trying to be like Benny Hinn or Kathryn Kuhlman.
The Lord came to assure me that I did not have to be discouraged, those
people were really ignorant of the mystery of Inheritance by Lineage. You
see, you do not have to apologize for who you are and how you act when
you know where you come from, that is, when you know your past. If you
know who was before you, the former age and their fathers, you'll
understand why God is doing what He is doing in your life and why He's
leading you a certain way. It might be different from everything and
everyone else around you, you may be the ugly duckling right now. Things
may seem unclear to you, but God is working on you to become who He
wants you to be. You do not fit in now because you are trying to be
something else. You're not a duck! That's why you don't fit in. You're
really a beautiful swan or an eagle. Hallelujah!

CHAPTER 5
Turning the Hearts of the Fathers
A True Father Leaves a Legacy and a Foundation for the Children to

Build on
The True Heart of a Father

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of that
great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I
come and smite the earth with a curse," (Malachi 4:5-6).
I will now tell you why the church is operating in the curses and
not in the full blessing of God. The church has been blessed to a certain
degree, but what I mean by a “curse” is something that limits fruitfulness.
We must admit that the church has not been as fruitful as it should be in
the earth. What's wrong? We talk about what God did in the past because
what we see today does not compare to the past. Things are backwards.
That is a curse. Curses turn that which is supposed to be in front, to the
back, and that which is in the back to the front. This causes you to look
back to the blessing instead of experiencing the blessing on the front line.
What we see in the church today is a perversion of what God really

wants her to be in the earth. God intended for the church to increase, not
71
decrease in glory. “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
former, saith the LORD of hosts,” (Haggai 2:9). We must be ready to be
the glorious church. Now I must show you how.
Fathers Beget Sons

You never come into the fatherhood realm unless you have a son.
You never talk about being a father if you do not have a son. If there is a
married couple that does not have children, they are just husband and wife,
not father and mother. I noticed this after my first child was born and I
became a father. I knew what being a real father was to a son. I understood
God's love for me to a small degree as a father and son. Even so, I never
understood it until I became a father. I really did not have any patience,
nor did I have the love that I now have for children, until I became a father.
God gives you a love for children when you become a father
because now you have a heart for it and are now functioning in that office.
I was not in that office when I was single. I loved children because Jesus
once rebuked his disciples and said, “Suffer (allow) little children, and
forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven,”
(Matthew 19:14). So, I knew I better not do that. I loved children, but I
did not have a heart for children like I do now. Now, every time I see a
baby or a child I love to look at them. The heart of a father is to love and
honor his children. Jesus himself talked about how the heavenly Father
honored him, “…If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father
that honoureth me,” (John 8:54).
The question is: how does a father love and honor his children?
We must first understand that sons don't beget fathers, fathers beget sons.
How can you ask me to be a son to you, when you are not a father to me?
Again, sons don't beget fathers, fathers beget sons. Pastors, how can you
expect God's people, or your members, to be true sons and daughters,
when you are not a real father to them? They cannot be sons until you are
a true father. Their sonship towards you can't be birthed until your
fathership for them comes forth.
72
I heard one preacher say, “Sons have to be sons, so Fathers can be

fathers.” This is a lie and a false teaching. That is not the order that God
set. You cannot even have a son if you are not a father. It takes a father to
produce a son, not a son to produce a father. A lot of men who are in
ministry want people to submit to them as sons, but they don't want to be
real fathers – this is backwards. God set the order the way that it is
supposed to be, you cannot change this. You cannot expect people to be
sons to you and submit to you and your ministry if you will not be a real
father. I’ve heard some men say things such as, "you be a son, you do this
and that…" yet they are not fathers. There have been fathers that persecute
and misjudge people that they are supposed to be fathering. How can you
be a father to them? You cannot be a father. How can they ever be a son
to you if you have never been a father? The proof is in the pudding. If you
are a real father, you will have real sons. This is how:
How a Father Loves and Honors His Children

"A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the
wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just," (Proverbs 13:22).
This scripture is saying that you are not a good man just because
you leave an inheritance for your children. A good man is someone who
leaves enough money for his grandchildren. The scripture does not call
you good because you provide for your children. A good man will establish
things for his generation and the generation after that. The true sign that
you love someone is not just what you do for them, but for the ones they
love. When you love them, you take an interest in the same things that
they do. You understand that to them, their children are valuable. You
know that you love your own child. Loving your own children is easy.
Providing for them alone is still selfishness because they are your children.
Real love is when you can love something or someone that someone else
loves. You have an interest beyond yourself, or not just for what you
birthed. A true spiritual father will leave a spiritual inheritance for you,
your family, and your grandchildren. It starts by passing to your children
an inheritance.
73
True fathers leave an inheritance not only for you, but also for your
children's children. This explains why you see the anointing flowing in
families. Often, the natural father and mother carry spiritual wealth that
can also be passed on to their kids from their father. That explains why
some families have the same lineage. The spiritual father leaves an
inheritance not only for his son and daughter, but also for their children
and it passes on to them. God ordained for this to happen, spiritually, so
that the anointing is passed down. Naturally, as fathers we should leave
an inheritance for our children's children. God would not speak something
like this and then not do it in the spirit. He is the Father of all spirits. The
Bible teaches on this and that is why He talks about the third and fourth
generations. God leaves an inheritance for many generations.
God, in his office as the Heavenly Father, has already set the
precedent of what a father should do for his children. It is God who
established an inheritance of land for all the nations of the earth. “When
the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated
the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number
of the children of Israel,” (Deuteronomy 32:8). To this day, many of those
nations are still right where God placed them. It is God who gave
Abraham the land of Canaan for an inheritance, “Saying, Unto thee will I
give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,” (Psalm 105:11). And
God, as a Father, gave to his son Jesus nations for his inheritance as the
bible says:“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession,”
(Psalm 2:8). Since we are children of God the Father, we are also, through
that relationship, heirs. The bible says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ,” (Romans 8:17). In this book, I am
teaching you how to receive your spiritual inheritance through the order
God established in His word.
Fathers, you are not good fathers until you begin to establish an
inheritance, not only for your own children, but for their children also. A
lot of families are in financial devastation because they do not think like
this, they have only thought of themselves. Have you ever noticed that the
children, whose parents worked and saved up their money in order to set
up trust funds for them and for their children's children, become
74
millionaires? This is true, even when their fathers and mothers are not.
Why? This is because of the foundation that their father and mother laid.
People are living in devastation and poverty because their father and
mother did not practice the Word.
The true heart of a father builds a great foundation so that their

sons and daughters can excel beyond them. I am going to say this to the
spiritual fathers: if you are not leaving a spiritual legacy and inheritance,
not only for your sons and daughters in your ministry, but to those after
them, then you are not a good spiritual father. As for sons, if you are under
someone who is not doing this, then you are not under a good father. I am
not saying that they are not your father, because they could be your
spiritual father, however, they are not practicing the Word of God and
being a true spiritual father to you. Most of the fathers I see in ministry are
concerned about their own ministries. They are only concerned with
themselves and what they are doing! They are not trying to help anyone
else. If they are doing anything, then it is so they can benefit in some way.
A true father does not receive a benefit from his children, he sacrifices. The
father should be a resource for his children.
A True Father Lays Up for His Children

“Furthermore, David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon
my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the
work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. Now
I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for
things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass
for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of
wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers
colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in
abundance,” (1 Chronicles 29:1-2).
“And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel,
and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king
before him in Israel,” (1 Chronicles 29:25).
75
A true father does not try to get anything back, the Bible says that
it is wicked if you do that. A natural or spiritual father leaves an
inheritance for his children and their children. True fathers lay things up
for the children, instead of the children laying things up for them. This is
what David did for his son Solomon before he died. God could bless and
magnify Solomon exceedingly because David left a rich spiritual
foundation and inheritance for his son. Solomon’s calling was to build the
Temple of God. David, his father, set him up to succeed by preparing great
wealth for his son to be able to build a great temple for God. What is a
natural father supposed to lay up for their sons? Natural resources. What
is a spiritual father supposed to lay up for their sons? Spiritual resources.
One thing about spiritual inheritance is that it brings natural resources.
"Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you' and I will not be
burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought
not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children," (2
Corinthians 12:14).
In other words, a true father leaves a legacy and a foundation. He

leaves something for the children to build upon. Even though you may
start small because your father has already established a foundation, you
do not have to go back through the years and recreate what he established.
You can start from where he left off and take it to another level! That is
what Job 8:7 means, “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end
should greatly increase.” How can you greatly increase? Because your
father has already done something for you that you do not have to do!

CHAPTER 6
The Heart of a Child
77
“You shall greatly increase when
you acknowledge your fathers.”
78
CHAPTER 6
You Shall Greatly Increase When You Acknowledge Your Fathers
Turning the Heart of the Children to their Fathers

The heart of a child is to love, respect, and reverence his father or
parents. There are four points that describe the heart of children who
reverence their parents:
1. They hearken and obey their father's will, wishes, and

commands.
2. They want to please their father.
3. They want to receive their father's acceptance.
4. They want to reverence and look up to their father

with admiration.
The Bible says when the heart of the child is turned to the father,
the disobedient is turned to the wisdom of the just. That is what Gabriel
prophesied to Zacharias concerning the calling and destiny of John the
Baptist, “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the
wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord,” (Luke
79
1:17). That means the child listens to what the father has to say. Children
do not listen to their parents if their hearts are turned from them. When
their hearts are turned to their parents, they will hold on to their parents’
word with their dear lives. When children listen to their parents and
respect their word, that's what you call a real miracle of family salvation.
Point 1
Hearkening and Obeying the Father's Will, Wishes, and Commands
Let's talk about point number one, which deals with them
hearkening and obeying their father's will, wishes and commands. You
notice that Jesus was called the Son of God. He was called the Son of God
because He was and is the real Son of God. What did He say while He
was on the earth? “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me,” (John 6:38). Jesus came to do His
Father’s will. Jesus also said, “For I have not spoken of myself; but the
Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say,
and what I should speak,” (John 12:49). Jesus was basically saying, “my
Father commands me and I obey His command." Jesus wanted to obey
His Father so much that he was willing to die. That is why the bible says,
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross,” (Philippians 2:8). That
is the heart of a true son.
A real son is always trying to please his father by doing his wishes
and obeying his commands. I want to be a son to Him. I do not want Him
to say to me that I am rebellious and do not listen or obey, and that I am
not even trying to obey His wishes or commands. By this principle, I can
determine who is really a son in the ministry God has given me. I know
what a son is. He hearkens to obey his father's will, wishes, and
commands. Why do you think Jesus kept saying, "For I came down from
heaven, not to do my own will." He came to the earth to do His Father’s
will. The Bible says, “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of
him that sent me, and to finish his work,” (John 4:34). There is always
80
great mystery and depth to every word that Jesus says. He always
mentioned how He must obey the Father.
"Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)
to do thy will, oh God," (Hebrews 10:7).
Jesus is always diligent to fulfill the Father's wishes and desires.

Even in the Garden of Gethsemane in the moment of his greatest trial, he
still sought to subject and align His own will to the Father’s will. “And he
said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup
from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt” (Mark 14:36).
Even against His own will, Jesus obeyed the will of His Father. Real sons
always seek to please their fathers even against their own will.
Point 2
Pleasing the Father
"And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I
do always those things, that please him," (John 8:29).
To please the father is the heart of a child. You can see that Jesus
did please His Father. At two different stages of His life on earth, the
Father openly spoke of how pleased He was with His on Jesus. The Father,
with great pleasure, approved His son for ministry after He endured
eighteen years of obscurity and preparation. When Jesus came to the
River Jordan at the beginning of his earthly ministry, the Bible says, “And
lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased,” (Matthew 3:17). After three years of ministry the Father again
openly expressed His pleasure at how well his son was performing His
earthly mandate. “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him,” (Matthew
17:5). At all stages of His life and ministry, Jesus sought to please his
Father, “I do always those things, that please him.”
81
Point 3
Wanting the Father’s Acceptance
“For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in
whom he delighteth,” (Proverbs 3:12).
“Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not
thou the chastening of the Almighty,” (Job 5:17).
If you notice, this is what it speaks of in the book of Hebrews when

the scripture talks about chastisement. It admonishes us when it says:
"And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as

children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord nor faint
when thou are rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth,” (Hebrews 12:5-6).
Also:
“Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his
son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee,” (Deuteronomy 8:5).
Why does the Bible say that? It is because a lot of sons and
daughters, when they are rebuked, feel they are not received. The Bible
reveals that the true sign that a son is accepted and not rejected by his
father is that he is chastised and corrected. Why did God write that?
Because He knows that every son wants to be received by his father and
they can wrongly perceive chastisement as a sign that their father does not
receive them. God writes certain things for certain reasons. He wrote those
scriptures as a word of comfort especially for sons during times of
chastisement.
"And he scourgeth (scourging is severe beating, much worse than

chastisement or chastening) every son whom He receiveth," (Hebrews
12:6).
82
If God really receives you as a son, He will not only chastise you,
but He will give you a good scourging or beating. He may not let you get
by with the things other children get by with. He will be very hard on you
which means you are truly received by Him. Why did God write that? The
true desire of a son and a child is to be received by their father. A true
child’s heart is turned toward their parent. It is turned toward listening to
instruction and accepting the father’s correction, rebuke, and government.
There are many children who are rejected by their parents and are
given away to orphanages. These children search diligently for their father
and mother. They are always trying to find out who is their real father or
mother. There is always a desire in them to be received by their father or
their parents. That is the reason why I do not reject anyone. I do not
believe in rejecting people – it’s wrong. To all the readers, let me say this:
there are fathers who are rejecting sons God sent to them. That is not of
God, He does not reject people. The only people He rejects are those who
walk in pride. “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble,”
(James 4:6). When you walk in pride, God rejects and cuts you off. A lot
of leaders have rejected different men and women from being fathered by
them because they saw some kind of fault or mistake in their lives. They
change their personality toward them and reject them instead of receiving
them like they once had.
Even if you feel there is something wrong with your spiritual son
or daughter, that does not give you the right to forsake being a father to
them. Most people will not do that to their own natural children, so why
would you do it to God's children!? Things are first natural and then
spiritual. You may see a fault or shortcoming in your child, but that should
make you love them more, not less. The only people that God rejects are
the proud.
Acknowledging the Father

As a son, you have to submit and have your heart turned toward
your father. Many people, who leave from under their lineage, miss their
blessing. Look at what happened with Esau, he missed the birthright. Also,
look at what we have learned by the example of Elijah and Elisha. When
83
Elisha asked his spiritual father Elijah for a double portion of his spirit,
Elijah answered him, “And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing:
nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto
thee; but if not, it shall not be so,” (2 Kings 2:10). In other words, Elijah
told Elisha, "You have to see me when I'm taken up to get the double
portion. You've got to be around me." Association brings the birthright.
When Esau wasn't around, that's when he got tricked out of his birthright.
It’s sad to say, but many people have missed it. They break rank
with relationships that God has put them in and refuse to submit because
of the deception of natural success. Money doesn't prove it, buddy! Man
can lift you up, but that isn't God's exaltation. They could have had great
ministries but are fooled into believing that what they have attained is the
greatest.
They think, "If I would have stayed in that ministry I would not
have gotten this." What they fail to understand is that if they would have
stayed in their lineage, they would have gotten much greater. You shall
greatly increase when you acknowledge your fathers. When you know
who your father is, you can build from his foundation, and go to another
level. That's why you have got to stay connected with your original seed
and lineage!
There is a desire that God has put in children automatically

through government and a set order to be received. Many of you have been
rejected by your parents and it has affected your life. Before a blessing is
to come on earth, the heart of the fathers has to turn to the children and
the heart of the children must turn to the fathers. This is the will of the
Father. I want you to start praying. If you have any parents or anyone that
you know you have to release who has hurt you and the pain is still in your
life, pray to release them. This is something you must do. You must release
them if they hurt, abused, or misused part of your life, or if they did
anything to hurt you.
84
Turning the Hearts

“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse,” (Malachi 4:6).
When the Bible says "turn," it means to repent. This is what John
the Baptist was sent by God to do, to turn the hearts. “And he shall go
before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers
to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord,” (Luke 1:17).
In other words, John’s ministry was a ministry of repentance. That

is why he told the tax collectors, “Exact no more than that which is
appointed you,” and he told the soldiers, “Do violence to no man, neither
accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.” He was rebuking and
bringing correction to that generation. He was, in effect, turning the hearts
of that generation to the fathers. That is how he prepared them for the
Lord.
Before God can really give the church the blessing and not the
curse, the heart of the fathers has to be turned to the children, and the heart
of the children has to be turned to the fathers. The reason curses are hitting
the earth is that the heart of the fathers is not turned to the children, and
the heart of the children is not turned to the fathers. When this happens,
God strikes not just the church, but the earth with a curse.
I believe fathers should first repent to sons about some things in

natural families that they are responsible for (and I am expressly talking
also of spiritual fathers). I also believe the sons must repent to fathers for
rebelling. After God saved me at seventeen, I went to my natural father
and mother and asked for their forgiveness for all the things I did when I
was not saved. I repented to them for disrespect, rebellion, and other forms
of sin. You see, until you do, church, saints, individuals, the curse from
God will not lift from off your life. Believe me, Satan did not release this
curse here. Malachi 4:6 says God smites the earth with a curse when the
85
hearts of the fathers are not turned toward the sons and the sons toward
the fathers!
When the hearts of the fathers and children are turned to each
other, the blessing of the spiritual inheritance can then be released to the
children. Today, the church has not exceeded what the fathers did in the
Old Testament and what the early church did in the Acts of the Apostles.
We have not greatly increased from where they were because we are not
standing on the foundation they created. The hearts of the fathers are not
turned to the children and vice versa. This is because we are living in a
generation where the bond of the father and the children has been broken
through rebellion of the children and selfishness of the fathers. The real
heart of a father is for his children and the real heart of children is for their
fathers. You have children that have been orphaned looking for their
fathers and mothers. This is because the heart of a child is to find who their
fathers and mothers are.
There is something seriously wrong if children do not want to find

their fathers and when fathers do not want to find the children. That is a
big curse. It is a devastating curse, because if you turn toward the father
there is an inheritance for you. Without the inheritance, you are cursed to
work hard. You are cursed to go back and do everything your fathers did
and start all the way back over again. In ministry and in life, you do not
want to do that. Why should we repeat something that has already been
established and waste precious time? That is why the passage in Job 8:9
said, “For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days
upon earth are a shadow.” Our days on earth are as a shadow because we
have very little time to spend here and we cannot waste that time redoing
what our fathers did.
And on the flip side, you have many men in ministry who do not
have a heart for the next generation. All they are concerned with is
building their own ministry and when they see the next generation coming
up, they do not help them. That is not the heart of a father! The opposite
of leaving an inheritance to the children’s children is selfishness.
86
Such men would say, “I’m going to take care of me!” That is
selfishness. As a father, you should be leaving an inheritance not just for
your children but for their children’s children.

CHAPTER 7
The Institution of Fathership
89
“Fathers have to be in place for
sons to arise in Glory.”
90
CHAPTER 7
Fathers Must be in Place for Sons to Arise in Glory
Abraham: The Father of Us All

Now I am going to take you all the way back to the beginning to
show you how God instituted fathership. In this segment I will show you
the lineage we all came out of. Fathership was really supposed to start with
Adam, but he sinned and broke covenant and rank with God the Father.
God, therefore, had to come into the earth and make the covenant of
fathership with another man. He did it with Abraham! God had to
reinstitute fatherhood on the earth because when the father-son
relationship is broken, curses hit the earth.
“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse,” (Malachi 4:6).
The Adamic Curse

Do you want to know why the earth was so cursed that God had to destroy
it by water? The Malachi passage explains that when the hearts
91
92
of the fathers are not turned towards the children, and the hearts of the
children are not turned towards the fathers, curses hit the earth. So, when
Adam and Eve sinned against God, their hearts were turned away from
God. They could no longer fellowship face to face with God. “But your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you, that he will not hear,” (Isaiah 59:2). When Adam
committed the grievous sin of treachery by disobeying God’s command,
their relationship was broken. Remember that Adam is called the son of
God, which makes God his father.
“And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of
thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying,
Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt
thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return,”
(Genesis 3:17-19).
When Adam’s relationship with God was broken the earth was
affected, curses started hitting the earth. The ground was cursed, the
woman’s womb was cursed, and man was cursed with hard labor. Now,
man had to till the ground by the sweat of his brow. Curses started hitting
the earth and their life because where there is no fathership, and where
there is no authority and chain of command, there is no order. After Adam
and Eve were cast out of the garden, the curses got worse and worse to the
point where angels even came down and corrupted the human race. Now
God had to destroy the whole earth. That is why the ministry of Elijah is
so important, because that is the ministry that causes the heart of the
fathers to be turned to the children and the heart of the children to be
turned to the fathers. If this does not happen, curses hit the earth.
That is why the Bible says, “For the earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God,” (Romans 8:19).
All of creation is groaning and travailing in pain for the sons to manifest
in glory. Now, as we have seen, you cannot be a true son of God until you
have a father. That is why we have not yet seen the full manifestation of
93
the sons of God. Fathers have to be in place for the sons to arise in glory.
As the bible says, “Children's children are the crown of old men; and the
glory of children are their fathers,” (Proverbs 17:6). Now you can
understand why the creation, the animals, the trees, etc. are all groaning.
They are in pain because everything is under a curse until the sons come
forth.
Jesus freed us from the curse, but the Bible says in Acts 3 that Jesus
must be received up into heaven until the “restitution of all things.” In
other words, Jesus came to restore things and it has not been totally
fulfilled. Jesus is not coming back until the restitution or recovery of all
things that He put in place. I believe in the rapture and the second coming,
but you must understand that Jesus is not coming back until all things are
put back in place. And I believe that is why He is restoring the message of
the Inheritance by Lineage and the fathers’ and the sons’ hearts being
turned back to each other.
The Danger of Breaking Rank with Fathers in Your Life

You must understand that every time you break rank with your
pastor or anyone God placed in your life as a spiritual authority, you are
creating a curse on the earth. When you break rank with your father and
leave, maybe because you see a weakness or failure in their life, you are
upsetting God’s order of things. A great example to help understand the
grave danger of breaking rank with fathers is the angels of God who are
also called sons of God. As the Bible says, “Now there was a day when
the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan
came also among them,” (Job 1:6). Even though they were not made and
created like we were, they are still called sons of God. They are celestial
(heavenly) beings and we are terrestrial (earthly) beings.
Lucifer is also a son of God. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning!” (Isaiah 14:12). Did you notice what
happened to him when he broke rank with the Father? He got cursed and
he was transfigured from being Lucifer to Satan, which means “the fallen
one.” Satan had gotten hideous because of what he did. He is wicked and
all the angels who followed him in his transgression are also wicked. They
94
broke rank from heaven and now they are causing so much evil and
wickedness in the earth because they are cursed to be separated from God
for ever in everlasting fire. They can never be redeemed because they were
created in heaven as perfect beings, so their fall is irrevocably established.
Man can be redeemed because man was made a little lower than angels.
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels,”
(Matthew 25:41).
These wicked beings are cursed and can never have forgiveness.
They cannot be redeemed and now they are trying to get men to go to hell
with them. To do this, they perpetuate that same spirit of rebellion and
disobedience in the lives of people which causes them to blaspheme and
get out of order with God so they cannot be saved. “Wherein in time past
ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of
the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience,” (Ephesians 2:2). In this passage, you see how Satan and his
kingdom work overtime to blind mankind, make them laugh at getting
saved, and make them think they need to have fun because he is working
to deceive people from believing in what Jesus has done for them. Satan
also wants mankind with him forever.
Satan did this by first enticing Eve to break God’s command. Then
the woman got to the man and convinced him to eat the fruit. You notice
that Satan did not go to the man first. He knew he had to get to man
through his weakness, which was through the woman. Eve got to Adam
and basically told him, “We can do this. Nothing happened to me when I
ate the fruit.” But you see, what she did not understand is that the
command starts with the head down. Their eyes were not opened until
Adam ate the fruit. The curse did not come into force until the father got
out of place. Adam was the father God had placed on the earth, and that
is why God blessed him to be fruitful. So, when he disobeyed God, he got
out of right standing with God. When fathers get out of place, curses start
hitting the earth. That is why I always exhort married men, it does not
matter what your wives or children do, as long as you keep order in the
house, the blessing of God will continue to stay on your house. Just like
Joshua said, “but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD,”
95
(Joshua 24:15). As long as the man, the father, stays in place, the curse will
be stopped.
“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with
her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they
knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons,” (Genesis 3:6-7).
If you notice, when Eve ate the fruit just like the snake told her,
nothing happened. She did not see herself naked. It was not until she went
to her husband and got him to eat the fruit that the eyes of both of them
opened. Why? Because when fathers get out their place, everything gets
out of order and then the curses strike the earth. That is why you need to
understand that it is not about sons first, it is about fathers first. When
fathers are in their rightful place, sons can come forth. When Adam got
out of place, the blessing stopped, and the curse began to manifest.
It was not Satan who cursed the snake, the woman, the man, and
the earth. It was God who cursed the earth as the bible says, “… lest I come
and smite the earth with a curse,” (Malachi 4:6). After man sinned, God
came the next day in the cool of the day and started pronouncing curses.
This happened because God demands holiness, He demands justice, and
He must judge. “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and that is in
God’s Law. We need to thank God for Jesus Christ, but the Law is holy
and just.
After the relationship was broken between Adam and God,

multiple curses began to hit the earth: abominations and homosexuality
and lesbianism like in Sodom and Gomorrah. God had to destroy a whole
city because of wickedness. Even before this wickedness, angels came to
the earth and started sleeping with the women which produced giants.
Then, more violence and wickedness filled the earth, all because a father
got out of place. God now had to destroy the earth by water and start all
over again with Noah. Now, even though Noah was a patriarch that God
96
used to preserve seed on the earth, God did not start instituting fathership
on the earth until the time of Abraham.
The Abrahamic Covenant

that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations…” (Romans
4:16-17).
With all this going on, God knew that if He was going to send
Jesus to the earth to redeem man and the earth again, He had to restore
fathership on the earth through a man. He had to put the order back on
earth again. If the curse was going to be lifted, a father would have to be
established on the earth. I am going to show you how Abraham gained the
title “The Father of us all.” Through Abraham, God reestablished
powerful lineages through which spiritual inheritances could be passed on.
“And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to
the promise.” (Galatians 3:29). There is an inheritance in the Abrahamic
Covenant! You are an heir of that covenant. Only a father can give an
inheritance. Abraham is really the father of everybody now. Moses and
Elijah came out of his lineage. Everything was renewed through the
Abrahamic Covenant.
You have to understand the Abrahamic Covenant to understand

what you are inheriting. The Abrahamic Covenant is the spiritual
covenant God made with Abraham. A lot of people think the Abrahamic
Covenant is just about getting money to you naturally, but that is so
wrong. It is a spiritual covenant and money always follows that. The glory
does not follow money, money follows the glory. Now, let us study
Genesis 17 together.
97
The Father of All Nations

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared
to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me,
and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee,
and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God
talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee,
and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any
more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of
many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,
and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee,”
(Genesis 17:1-6).
What an amazing scripture! The Lord God appeared to Abraham.

You see, whenever you see God face to face, a covenant is being
established. Abraham had now reached a point of maturity with God and
now God was going to work directly with him. That is why God said to
him, “walk before me and be thou perfect.” God works directly only with
those who are of full age spiritually. You need to get my message on the
twenty-year process to fully understand that.
But look more carefully at verse 4, “As for me, behold, my

covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations,”
(Genesis 17:4). You see here that God is instituting fathership again. He
was granting Abraham the right of fathership authority. This is so
important, God had finally found a man that he could entrust with
fathership. He emphasized this new title in verse 5, “Neither shall thy
name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a
father of many nations have I made thee.” (Genesis 17:5). God was
establishing him to father nations!
Now read verse 6 again, “And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,
and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.” (Genesis
17:6). God, in making this covenant, said, “I will make thee exceedingly
fruitful.” Now, what is the opposite of fruitfulness? Curses! When God
institutes fathership, he brings fruitfulness. Fruitfulness is a sign of
blessings, whereas unfruitfulness is a sign of curses. In other words, when
98
fathership is reinstituted, the blessing of fruitfulness is released, but when

fathership is broken, curses hit the earth.
Fatherhood: The Highest Title of Authority

In verse 6 you also see that God promised Abraham, “… and I will
make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee,” (Genesis 17:6).
Now watch this carefully: in the New Testament, Jesus never referred to
God as “King,” He always referred to God as “My Father,” “Eternal
Father,” “Heavenly Father,” or simply “Father” because the highest title
of authority is not kingship, but fathership. Fathers do not come out of
kings, kings come out of fathers. “…And kings shall come out of thee,”
(Genesis 17:6). That is why Jesus is referred to as King: “And he hath on
his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND
LORD OF LORDS,” (Revelation 19:16). Jesus is referred to as a king
because he came out of the Father, He came out of the bosom of the
Father.
Now, although a father can come out of a king, the original order
of God is that a father is established and then kings come out of that father.
That is why in the Godhead, God is not addressed as God the King. The
Godhead, or Trinity, is identified by the titles, The Father, The Son (or
Word) and the Holy Ghost. “For there are three that bear record in
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.” (1 John 5:7). That is why you should never listen to those doctrines
out there that try to undermine the three persons of the Godhead. You
must understand that the Godhead are “three” before they are “one.” They
are one because they agree, but they are three different persons and have
three different functions. They are one because they agree in one, they
work together, and they do not work against each other.
To understand the concept of fathership, you must also understand

the rank in the Godhead. You must not miss this divine revelation of
fathership in the Godhead. It was the Father who highly exalted Jesus and
sat Him at His right hand. When you talk to Jesus, the only person He
wants to talk to you about is the Father. When you talk to the Holy Ghost,
the only person He will talk to you about is the Son, Jesus. Concerning
99
the Holy Ghost Jesus said, “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you,” (John 16:14). In much the same way,
Jesus does not speak of Himself, He always speaks of and glorifies the
Father. When Jesus was on the earth he said, “I am come in my Father's
name...” (John 5:43).
In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reveals that after Jesus is done doing

what God exalted him to do, then He will turn over the Kingdom back to
God, so that the Father will be all in all. “And when all things shall be
subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that
put all things under him, that God may be all in all,” (1 Corinthians 15:28).
The highest level, authority, and rank in the Kingdom is fathership. That
is why when fathership is in place, so are order and blessing.
This is why the baptism ordinance is deeper than most people

think. Jesus told His disciples, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost,” (Matthew 28:19). The reason Jesus instituted baptism in the name
of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost because of its order. The order is
fathership, sonship, and then spirit. We have to keep the order of the father
and sons.
Fathership Starts with Abraham

that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,”
(Romans 4:16).
According to this scripture, Abraham is “The Father of us ALL.”

In other words, Moses, Elijah, and everyone else came out of Abraham.
Any other father that God established on the earth came from the
fathership of Abraham. God made a perpetual covenant with that lineage,
and it was through this Abrahamic covenant that God governed his
relationship with the nation of Israel.
Now, do you remember in Genesis 15 when God visited Abraham

and he fell into a deep sleep or a trance? This was when God revealed to
100
Abraham what was going to happen to His posterity. God showed him
that His people, the Jews, would be in bondage for four hundred years,
and then He would raise up a deliverer to get them out of that nation that
oppresses them.
“And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and,
lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. And he said unto Abram,
Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs,
and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And
also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall
they come out with great substance.” (Genesis 15:12-14).
Do you know what was happening here? God was connecting

Abraham to the next father who was supposed to come, Moses the
deliverer. So, when Moses came four hundred years later, God connected
him back to Abraham when he tells him, “… Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my
name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations,” (Exodus
3:15). The fathers’ hearts were being turned to the children, and the
children’s hearts were being turned back to the father! Now God could
redeem Israel out of Egypt! Do you see that? For God to release the
spiritual inheritance of land that He promised Abraham, He had to raise
up a father.
Abraham and Moses

“Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land
before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend
for ever?” (2 Chronicles 20:7).
“But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of
Abraham my friend,” (Isaiah 41:8).
“And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and
it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend
of God,” (James 2:23).
101
“And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend,” (Exodus 33:11).
Isaac and Jacob were descendants of Abraham. They were the

ones the promise of God was channeled through. They were conduits in
the lineage for the Abrahamic Covenant and spiritual inheritance to pass
down. But when you get to Moses, you get to another great father. Moses
came out of Abraham and many years later another great father, Elijah,
also came out of Abraham. What the Lord has shown me so far, is how
the lineage breaks up after Abraham into two lineages headed by Moses
and Elijah. Now, there may be more, but these are the only two the Lord
has revealed to me up to this point.
I must point out that in every generation spiritual inheritance is

handed or passed down. However, oftentimes the inheritance gets weaker
as it is passed down through the ages if the sons who become fathers in
their generation do not keep up with the promise. Let me explain with the
example of Moses. God had a friendship relationship with Moses, but it
was not as established as the one he had with Abraham. I used to think
that Moses had the most powerful friendship and intimacy with God, but
I found out that he did not. Abraham had the closest friendship with God.
Moses had a friendship with God as the bible says, “And the LORD spake
unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend,” (Exodus
33:11). However, Moses was not as faithful to the friendship as Abraham
was.
Jesus defined the terms of the friendship relationship with God

when he told his disciples, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I
command you,” (John 15:14). If you notice, even though Moses was used
more powerfully and had more face to face connection with God, all the
way through the bible it was Abraham who was known as the Friend of
God, not Moses. Why? Because Abraham did whatever God told him to
do. When Abraham was tested, he obeyed. Moses went far with his
friendship with God until the Lord told him, “… speak ye unto the rock
before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water,” (Numbers 20:8). But
because he did not believe God, the Bible says he struck the rock with his
rod instead of speaking to it.
102
Moses could not believe that God would do the miracle if he just
spoke. He was so used to doing all the miracles he ever did with the rod of
God. He could not transition to the next move that God was birthing with
that command. Moses could not get into the promise land for the same
reason that the children of Israel didn’t: unbelief. “And the LORD spake
unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the
eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation
into the land which I have given them,” (Numbers 20:12).
The Bible says that when God told Abraham to offer up Isaac, he
obeyed. In fact, Abraham believed that if need be, God could raise up Isaac
again from the dead to fulfill his covenant promise to him. Abraham did
not argue with God, he simply trusted God and obeyed him. But Moses
was disobedient, and that is why God swore that Moses would not enter
the Promised Land. That is why the friendship relationship was cut off.
God still translated Moses after his death because they were still very close,
but Moses still retained his title as the face to face prophet (see:
Deuteronomy 34:10). Moses, at that point, ceased from being God’s friend
in the way he should have. From that time on, Moses was called the
servant of God, never the friend of God. Abraham, after his death, was
called the Friend of God in both the Old and New Testaments. Moses at
that rock missed a big moment with God.
Why God Chose Abraham Over Job

Now, let me share with you a great revelation of why God could
trust Abraham with the fathership title, “The Father of All.” When God
wanted to bring fathership back to the earth, there were other great men
on the earth at that time of Abraham. If you study bible history, you will
find out that Job was living at the time of Abraham. God spoke highly of
Job to Satan as the Bible says, “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect
and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?” (Job 1:8).
Nobody on the earth equaled Job in right living, including Abraham, who
was also on earth at that time. Job feared God and maintained a more-
pure walk with God than any other person on the earth.
103
Now here it is, Abraham was living on earth among people

worshiping the moon and many other idols if you study those times. God
called him out of the Land of the Chaldees, a land of very idolatrous people
who worshipped the heavens. These people were the Chaldees,
astrologers, magicians, and sorcerers that gave counsel in the courts of the
Babylonian empire in the days of Daniel. God appeared to Abraham and
commanded him to get away from that land. “Now the LORD had said
unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from
thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee,” (Genesis 12:1).
Abraham obeyed and left without knowing where he was going, he just
trusted God.
Job was also a great man. He was a reputable man in the eyes of
God just like Abraham. But why did God pick Abraham over Job and
why did God make the covenant with Abraham when he said concerning
Job, “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and
escheweth evil?” Why didn’t God make the fatherhood covenant with
Job? There is a reason. This is the point: for God to establish you as a
father, you must be willing to give up everything and anything that is dear
to you, including family and possessions, to be close to God. Abraham
paid that price. Abraham loved God to the point where he did not put
family before God. You see, there is a level of sacrifice that must be made
before God can make this type of covenant with you.
This is God’s testimony and report on Abraham:
“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and
all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that
he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall
keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD
may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him,” (Genesis
18:17-19).
Now here is the point: God cannot trust anyone with fathership if
they cannot command their household after them. “For I know him, that
104
he will command his children and his household after him,” (Genesis
18:19). Many men have been passed over for fathership because they
cannot control their households. Their children talk back to them and run
them. Many parents do not even want to discipline or spank their children.
We say we are like Abraham, but we are not, because Abraham
commanded his house, he kept his children in order. God knew Abraham
had his house and children in order.
Verse 19 is very powerful: “For I know him, that he will command

his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of
the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon
Abraham that which he hath spoken of him,” (Genesis 18:19). God could
not bring up upon Abraham the fathership that he had spoken of until he
could trust him with his family. That is why Jesus in the New Testament
said, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and
wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he
cannot be my disciple,” (Luke 14:26). In other words, Jesus was saying
that if you cannot forsake all to follow Him, then you are no good for the
Kingdom. You cannot be discipled for the special, high level purposes that
He really wants to use you for. You can be a believer and you can probably
go to heaven and be saved, but you cannot be a disciple if you keep your
family above God. That is the difference between a believer and a disciple.
To be prepared for the Masters’ use, God and His Kingdom must come
first.
That is why God cannot use a lot of people in their destiny and in
ministry. They are too tied to their families.
I have heard Men of God say, “Oh it’s my wife. She will not let
me do it.” I have seen very weak men complaining about how their wives
will not let them go all out in ministry. The wives have them on a tight
leash.
I tell them to their face, “What is wrong with you? You are a big
Ahab!” Some people cannot obey God because they are bound by their
children. Some are bound by their jobs. They are bound by this natural
life.
105
Now, let me tell you the difference between Abraham and Job.
Why didn’t God reinstitute fathership through Job? Job was a man who
believed in holiness and righteousness. Abraham, on the other hand, had
a lot of problems. He lied to two major kings, Pharaoh and Abimelech
about his relationship to Sarah, his wife. If you notice, his son Isaac did
the same thing later on to King Abimelech, and Jacob lied and tricked
Esau out of the birthright and firstborn blessing. You see the same type of
inheritance coming down, yet God chose to establish fathership through
Abraham. This proves that faith and trust in God can subdue the
unrighteousness in your life. You can have unrighteousness in your life,
but as long as you walk in faith towards God, you can overcome that.
A lot of people who are holy and righteous often miss this element.
They miss the most important thing: Job was upright and holy and perfect
in his ways, but he was bound to his kids. After suffering the vicious
attacks of Satan, Job said, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come
upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me,” (Job 3:25).
Well, what was it that he feared? Job 1 gives us the answer:
“And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day;
and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.And
it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent
and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt
offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that
my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job
continually,” (Job 1:4-5).
Job’s sons were riotous. Job feared that his children would have
sinned in their riotous living, therefore, he always interceded for them.
Instead of disciplining them and keeping them in order, he allowed them
to live the way they wanted and covered them in prayer. Job was bound
by his children. He was bound by his family.
Instead of commanding his family, he basically said, “I am just

going to pray and offer sacrifices for them because they may have done
something wrong in their parties.” He knew they were wicked. Why else
would God allow Satan to just come and kill the whole family in one day
106
like that and did not kill Job? Something was wrong, the hedge was
broken.
Now God is not saying you should neglect your family. But in
America I have noticed that there is so much idolatry. People love their
families, their lives, their houses, their cars, and their comfortable life more
than doing the will of God. They will betray God over their family. They
will put their marriages and their children and other people over God’s
word. And when a preacher, or someone like me, preaches on discipleship,
forsaking all to follow the Lord, they will call me a cult preacher.
They will say, “Oh his ministry is a cult, he is not for the family.”
That is a lie. No, my dear friend, let me tell you something, if you want to
be who God wants you to be, then you have to be called out from your
family. Your family must be willing to follow the God in you wherever
you are going. That is what the bible says, “Now the LORD had said unto
Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy
father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee,” (Genesis 12:1). To be a
father you must be willing to walk in the footsteps of Abraham.
I just showed you why God put the covenant upon Abraham and
not on Job.
God said concerning Abraham, “For I know him, that he will

command his children and his household after him.” So, God was basically
saying, “I know Abraham. He is a good father. He keeps his house in
order. His children obey him and are submitted to him. I also love Job. He
is a perfect, upright, and righteous man, but I cannot put this on him
because he is going to be weak with his children. In order for me to bless
the earth, I have to have a man who is strong and who will keep covenant
with me above the interests of his family and children and not let anything
hinder him from keeping the covenant that we make. That is the man I
need to be a father on the earth.” I have seen many believers betray the
covenant they have with God for their family, their wives, and their
children.
I have seen major leaders do this. God tells them to do something and they
say “My wife, she is not in agreement with me. I can’t do it.” You know
107
that is very sorry. Your wife is supposed to obey you, she is supposed to
submit to her husband, and I am not a male chauvinist. The Bible says,
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God,” (1
Corinthians 11:3). There is an order and a chain of command in the spirit
established by God. When the order is not in the earth, curses hit the earth.
Now, I do not believe in men who abuse women, I am talking

about the situation where women try to usurp authority over men, like
Jezebel did over King Ahab. God did not give men the authority to abuse
their wives. If men are to be great fathers, they have to very humble. Men
must rule their households in righteousness.
When the order is not set in place like it is supposed to be, God
cannot do certain things because of the curse. In the days of Abraham and
Job, God was trying to get rid of the curse and Job was perpetuating it.
Although he was an upright man, you must understand that the key
element to getting full righteousness on the earth comes through the
lineage of order: fathership, and Job was not doing it. He was a great
intercessor, but if God was going to get glory back on the earth, He had to
get a real father. He did it through Abraham and then Moses, but not
through Job. You see, God cannot get glory when your children are not
restrained. Do you remember the High Priest Eli? They had the glory of
God in those days, and God judged Eli because he could not restrain his
children.
“In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken
concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. For I have
told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he
knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them
not,” (1 Samuel 3:12-13).
Commanding one’s household is a big thing with God. God

rebuked Eli for not having his house in order. His sons were priests, but
they did not have any relationship with God. “Now the sons of Eli were
sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD,” (1 Samuel 2:12). When God
first addressed the iniquities of Eli’s sons, Eli did talk to his sons. The Bible
108
says, “Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel;
and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And he said unto them, Why do ye such
things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people,” (1 Samuel 2:22-
23).
Eli talked to his boys about the evil they were doing, but he never
sat them down and made them behave. He could not restrain them. To
restrain them in that context meant to bring a level of control and order.
Eli did not do that, and God told him that the glory would depart from his
house. God cannot bring glory when families are out of order, and Job’s
family was really out of order. He was praying for them, but he would not
stand up and really talk to them.
You never read about this in this detail in the word because God
is so holy and righteous. He only talks about the good things of his people,
but he will give you revelation behind the scenes because he wants to leave
a good record about you. If you notice the New Testament does not talk
about the strange women Samson had, it just mentions him in the Hall of
Faith listing in Hebrews 11, so you must go to his life and read about him
in Judges. God always talks good about His people, but it is wisdom to
study their successes and their failures, so we don’t make the same
mistakes.
Now that you understand why God established fathership through

Abraham instead of Job, I want to share one more thing with you in this
chapter.
The Everlasting Abrahamic Covenant

“And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after
thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed after thee,” (Genesis 17:7).
God established the covenant not just with Abraham, but also for
his seed “after thee in their generations.” In other words, God said to
Abraham, “This covenant is in effect with those that are a part of your seed
including every generation that comes after you, I don’t care if its
109
thousands of years later...” This scripture is a major key to understanding

the spiritual inheritance God has given you through the everlasting
covenant he made with Abraham.
When God said, “In their generations for an everlasting

covenant,” that means in their lifetimes, in their generations, in the times
that they are living in, I will be a God unto them. That is what the
covenant is all about. For God to be a God to us!
Essentially, God was saying to Abraham, “No matter what

generation your seed lives in, they can ask me for this covenant and I will
come down out of heaven and bring a move of God on earth to show the
people that I am God!” There is no reason why our generation should be
ignorant of the reality of the Living God of Hosts. In our generation, God
is coming down face to face in the heavens over entire cities and nations
that he sends me to!
That is why God could come down on Mount Sinai to meet with
another father in another generation - Moses. That is why God came
down to the earth to deliver his people, Israel, the seed of Abraham from
Egypt. That is why God struck Egypt with all those plagues, and that is
why God opened the Red Sea for Israel to walk through on dry land. Do
you want to know why God gave Moses that staff to demonstrate the
Power of God and unleash miracles of judgment on Israel? The Everlasting
Covenant. God was being a God to Israel in that generation.
Many generations later, another great Father, Elijah, was raised

up as the bible says: “And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the
evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God
of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God
in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at
thy word. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that
thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again,”
(1 Kings 18:36-36).
Anytime God wants to do something on the earth, He does it by

lineage and He does it through a father that He raises up in that generation.
110
God is saying that in any generation that any seed of Abraham lives in,
they have a right to call on the Lord God of their Fathers. They have a
right to ask Him to be a God in their land and to show their kings,
presidents, senators, governors and majors. All Elijah had to do to
reconnect to the God of the fathers was to invoke the everlasting covenant
and call on the “LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel.” God
became a God to Elijah in his generation because of the covenant he made
with Abraham.
Now that you understand why and how God reinstituted

fathership on the earth, I am ready to share with you the meat of this
revelation as given me through a face to face visitation with Jesus...

CHAPTER 8
The DNA of the Fathers and Sons:
The Elijah Lineage
113
“When you come under the
lineage of a spiritual father, you
carry his spirit and spiritual
DNA.”
114
The DNA of the Fathers and Sons: Elijah Lineage
CHAPTER 8
The Elijah Lineage
When You Come Under the Lineage of a Spiritual Father, You Carry
His Spirit and Spiritual DNA
Identifying the Son with the Father

The of life is the very essence of a person's individuality. If you
are a true son, you will look like your parents and have their traits. In the
natural sense, DNA is a genetic code - the fundamental chemical
building blocks of life, contained in each living cell of an individual.
Your DNA carries information about your eye color, height, weight,
personality traits, blood type, skin color, and even your heartbeat. DNA
also contains information that indicates how fast you will grow, how tall
you will be, what part of other family genes you will pick up, which ones
will manifest as you grow older, and so forth. God has designed the
transference of gene inheritance to be carried on the strands of DNA.
DNA is very powerful.
This last generation, in the natural, as well as in the spiritual, has

a major dysfunction. This is a generation of fatherless children. They have
115
no idea of who their fathers are. Remember, sons do not beget fathers,
fathers beget sons. The only absolute way to identify a son with a father is
by comparing their DNA. You must match the DNA of the father with
the son, and if there is a match then there is no question about the child's
identity. This is one of the reasons DNA is so important. If a woman wants
to find out who the father of her child is, all she has to do is have a DNA
test done, and the test will prove conclusively the identity of the father. We
are living in a generation where hundreds of children are being born
without fathers. The prince of fornication has blinded the moral judgment
of people. For this cause, many people fall into sexual sins. Sexual sins are
to such a degree that babies are being born left and right and even the
mothers of these dear children have no idea who the fathers are. In the
same way, there are many “orphans” in the body of Christ who do not
know their identity and their destiny because they do not know who their
spiritual fathers are.
I have described to you from a natural perspective what DNA is

and how it is made up of genetic codes called genes that we inherit from
our father and mother. You cannot change or control what lineage or
family God chooses to send you through. You have to stir yourself up to
find your fathers and go in search of their fathers, otherwise the
dysfunction in the church and in the earth will continue. If we do not do
this, Malachi 4:6 reveals what will happen:
“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of
the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse,”
(Malachi 4:6).
The major dysfunction and curses ravaging our generation are

happening because the hearts of the fathers are not turned to the children
and the hearts of the children are not turned to the fathers. As a result,
God’s words have been provoked into action and curses have fallen upon
the earth. The curse leaves the inhabitants of the earth to be exploited by
the devil. The devil only seeks to steal, kill and to destroy. If he can steal
the identity of fathers, there will be no sons. The land will be filled with a
generation of bastards.
116
Your Spiritual DNA

What is God saying to us in this generation? The key that brings
your spiritual inheritance is identifying your spiritual father and receiving
what God has given to all the fathers that were before you! DNA is the
element that will reveal who you are and to what lineage you belong.
Things are first natural and then spiritual. God uses the natural make up
of our bodies to reveal the spiritual reality of lineage. As Paul said,
“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual,” (1 Corinthians 15:46). God always
uses the natural realm to teach on and reveal the supernatural realm. In
other words, just as you have a natural DNA that identifies you specifically
and you have genes that link you to a particular lineage, you also have a
spiritual DNA that identifies the spiritual lineage you are in. Now let's
talk about your spiritual DNA.
By now you may be asking yourself, "What is my spiritual DNA?

Who is my spiritual father? What are the spiritual traits that I have
inherited?" Before we can address these questions, we must first go to the
foundation of this revelation that the Lord has given in His Word. There
are major examples of spiritual DNA matches in the Bible, encoded within
the texts of scripture. It requires a thorough and careful search and study
of the word and the Fathers in your spiritual lineage.
I will now begin to share the heart revelation of this book by

showing you what the Lord revealed to me. The great examples of spiritual
fathers, spiritual sons, and the match of their spiritual DNA were given to
me through revelation and also through studying the Bible. There are
major examples of spiritual DNA matches in the Bible, encoded within
the text of scripture. It is also by revelation that I began to understand
these spiritual DNA matches. As I began my journey to search the depth
of the lineage of my fathers, the Lord Jesus began to give me
unprecedented revelation with supernatural insight that I had never seen
before.
117
The Revelation of Spiritual Lineages and Inheritance

It still astonishes me how it all came about. In 2002, while I was
in my bathroom one day, the Lord begin to speak to me about the
ridiculous persecution I was going through for simply accepting the
ministry and inheritance that He gave me. Let me say this, you cannot
help where you come from, but you can determine where you are. You
did not have a choice about what family you would be born into naturally
or spiritually. Stop apologizing for the type of ministry God has given you,
that other people don't understand. They don’t understand, because they
think you should look and act like them.
This revelation of Inheritance by Lineage became more

pronounced to me when I started getting persecuted for being like Benny
Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlman. They accused me of mimicking Benny Hinn
when I would wear white suits and blow on people in the miracle crusades
God instructed me to hold across the United States. In fact, after one
crusade my persecutors spray painted on the arena we were using “Benny
Zinn.”
Even other men of God who knew the miracles that were
happening were genuine would say to me, “You need to quit being like
another man.” But you must understand that you should not allow people
who do not understand your lineage to tell you what to do. That is what
Smith Wigglesworth and the Lord Jesus explained to me during the year
2000 trip to heaven I was granted.
You see, at this time in my life, I was only nineteen years old and
God was using me powerfully on the streets and in churches. I had given
up my career and everything I had. I sold everything I had because the
Lord told me in a dream that if I wanted what the apostles had then I had
to do what they did. He told me that if I wanted my destiny, I had to sell
out and give up everything, and I did. He then told me to get up and go
to another state on nothing. I had to walk by faith in getting to the other
state. I had given away everything I had. I had no money, nothing at all.
If you want the destiny of God, it will cost you everything.
118
The Lord said to me, “I have already spoken to a pastor in that city
to receive you in his house.” True to his word, Jesus appeared to a pastor
and told him, “I am sending this man here, he is my friend and my servant
and I want you to receive him in your house.”
When I got to the city, this pastor approached me and said, “I

know who you are. The Lord appeared to me in a dream. I am supposed
to receive you in my home.” So, I stayed with him. After I stayed with him
for a while, the Lord struck him dumb because he began to say evil things
about me.
The Lord appeared to him again in a dream and said, “This is my

friend and my servant. You have spoken evil against him. Now you will
be dumb until you repent to him.” He was dumb for a number of days until
he repented to me. At least five times the Lord has appeared to people who
came against me and in their dreams told them, “David is my friend.” I
am not exaggerating. Then they would come to me and repent and say, “I
am sorry.”
I was still going through great persecution even from my own

culture, the black culture. There is a lot of racism even in my culture and
they would say to me, “Oh you are just trying to be like a white man.” But
finding your lineage has nothing to do with white, black, or any other race.
As Paul said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus,”
(Galatians 3:28). I was getting a little discouraged because of all this, but I
kept on doing what God told me to do. I kept holding crusades and
thousands were getting healed and saved.
Spiritual Fathers and Lineages

It was in this season that the Lord visited me in 2002, a year and a
half after I had the trip to heaven. I was in the bathroom brushing my hair
when God gave me this powerful revelation that completely transformed
my life. He knew what I was going through.
And he said to me, "Son, don't ever feel bad about the type of ministry you
have. Every great man or woman of God that I used powerfully had to
119
come through a lineage. Every man or woman that I ever raised up has
spiritual fathers. They came through a father spiritually and naturally.
Man came through a lineage." But what we are talking about is spiritual
lineage. My total being was absorbing every living word He was saying.
His words were changing me. He said, "I am going to show you how.
When you know this, you will not apologize for the type of ministry you
have.”
These words from Jesus alone shook me. Even in that mirror,
staring at myself, I realized more of the truth in Jesus’ words to me. You
must understand that having a healing ministry, combined with an
apostolic and prophetic mandate from the Lord attracts much attack and
ridicule, not only from unbelievers, but also from the Body of Christ all
across America. Many people in my earlier days labeled me as a carbon
copy, a fake, or a "little Benny Hinn." If that were true, the miracles,
deliverances, and salvations wouldn't be true or genuine and people
wouldn't be getting filled with the Holy Spirit like they are across America.
Through this lineage revelation that God has given me, I later
found out why I have so many similarities to Benny Hinn. But it didn't
stop with Benny Hinn, it traces all the way back to Kathryn Kuhlman,
Aimee Semple-McPherson, Maria Woodworth-Etter, and even as far back
as Jesus and Moses and other greats of the past.
People constantly say, "You are just doing what you saw another
man do, this is not your real ministry." But, what they don't understand is
the things that our fathers or former generation did were passed down to
us, so it has nothing to do with just trying to be like one person.
DNA MATCHES: Elijah & John the Baptist

“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will
receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come,”
(Matthew 11:13-14).
The Lord continued to take me further into this mystery (trying to

be like a person) and as you are reading this, let me share my heart with
120
you. You do not owe anyone apologies for the way you are, or the
similarities to another ministry that your ministry may have.
Jesus began to say, "Every man or woman that I used in the Bible
or at any time came through a spiritual lineage and had a spiritual father."
He wasn’t talking about natural genealogy, but rather spiritual lineage in
ministry. Then He said, "for example, John the Baptist had a spiritual
father."
I asked, "Who?" Then he brought to me the scripture in Malachi

about the coming of Elijah, and how it actually wasn't Elijah coming back
from the dead, but rather the spirit and power of His ministry lineage
manifesting through John the Baptist.
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to
the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse,” (Malachi 4:5-6).
Now, when you come under the lineage of a spiritual father, it

means you carry the spirit of that father and his spiritual DNA. As I
mentioned earlier, a lot of people say that I have the spirit of Benny Hinn
and Kathryn Kuhlman on me. What they are seeing is the spirit of that
lineage. We are from the same lineage. When the Lord opened my eyes to
see this connection, everything in the scripture unfolded before me. This
was the key to what Jesus told me. Elijah and John the Baptist had similar
ministries! The Lord first began to talk to me about John the Baptist and
Elijah and gave me a key that would unlock the riches of glory among the
inheritance of the saints. At this point, my heart began to leap.
I said "Wow!" I had never seen that or heard it quite like this
before. John wasn't trying to be like Elijah, he was just in the same lineage!
This also bears out in Luke 1, when the angel Gabriel announced John’s
birth and spiritual lineage destiny to Zechariah.
121
122
123
124
Now, the Revelation of Spiritual Lineages Begins!

“But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is
heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his
name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall
rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy
Ghost, even from his mother's womb. And many of the children of Israel
shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the
spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord,” (Luke 1:13-17).
The Lord started teaching me with the example of John the

Baptist. He said to me, “You see, John the Baptist’s father was Elijah.”
That is why God, in Malachi, said, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD,”
(Malachi 4:5). The angel Gabriel told Zachariah that his son will go before
the Lord in the “spirit and power of Elijah.” But the angel did not tell
Zachariah to call his child Elijah, he told him to call him John. And this is
where some have gotten off by calling themselves the next Elijah.
Zachariah was told to call his child John, but in the spirit his name was
Elijah. The Lord revealed to me that when someone is your real father,
you carry their spirit and you walk in the power they walked in. This is
exactly what is wrong with the preachers today. They do not carry the
spirit and the character of the fathers and therefore they do not have the
power the fathers walked in.
DNA MATCH: Murderous Persecution

When the Lord told me that John’s spiritual father was Elijah, I
said, “Lord, how?”
He answered by asking me an amazing question, “In the natural

how do they determine if a child is a father’s child?”
I said, “By taking a DNA test, a DNA Genetic code.”
125
The Lord said, “That is right, and when they match, that is how
you know the father of that child.” Then he said, “Let me give you the
DNA proof that John the Baptist’s father in the spirit was Elijah. Who is
the only prophet in the Old Testament that rebuked a king and his wife
wanted to kill him?”
I answered, “Elijah.”
He then said, “Now who is the only prophet in the New Testament
who had to rebuke and confront a king and his wife wanted his head?”
I answered excitedly, “John the Baptist!” DNA Match!
You see, when you know your fathers, you will know what to
expect to happen in your life. You will understand why certain things
happen to you that simply does not happen to anyone else. This happens
because you are wrapped in a lineage. The same spirit and power of that
father is on your life. When you know your lineage and your spiritual
father, you will understand the full knowledge of who you really are in
God. You see, no anointing or ministry that God had in the past on the
earth has to exit the earth and die with the man carrying it. That ministry
is supposed to be carried out greater and to a fuller extent by the next
generation. Instead, due to failures in lineage, many anointings that God
has placed in the earth upon men in the past have not been passed on to
the next generations.
Now you and I know that since Elijah was translated from the
earth thousands of years have passed. So, who was Prophet Malachi
talking about? He was prophetically speaking about John the Baptist. Jesus
confirmed this to his disciples in Matthew 11:
“For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto
you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater
than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of
heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now
the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
126
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will
receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come,” (Matthew 11:10-14).
Right here in verse 14, Jesus stated emphatically concerning John

the Baptist, “And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.”
This revelation must be received in your heart. It is not something that can
just be taught to you. That is why Jesus said, “If ye will receive it” and in
the next verse he added, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear,”
(Matthew 11:15). Jesus was basically saying that this revelation is not
something you can just be taught and then you go away and say, “We
learned something.” No, this revelation of Inheritance by Lineage is
something you must receive. There is hardly any other place where Jesus
spoke like that, “if ye will receive it.” This type of revelation can only hit
the spirit of those who receive it because it is a mystery. John was Elijah.
Another scriptural confirmation is in Matthew 17 when Jesus took

Peter, James, and John up to a high mountain and was transfigured before
them. On the mountain they saw Moses and Elijah appear in glory and
talk with Jesus. The disciples who went with Jesus saw the Father come
down in a cloud and speak to all of them. When they were coming down
the mountain, the disciples began to engage Jesus in a very deep
conversation. Matthew 17 says:
“And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from
the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias
truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias
is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist,”
(Matthew 17:9-13).
Again, we see Jesus confirming the identity of John in this passage.

As you will learn later on, there was a lot of confusion concerning John’s
identity, mainly because John himself was ignorant of his lineage. This
created a lot of confusion that Jesus had to clarify among His disciples.
127
But in this passage, Jesus made it so clear that the disciples understood
that John the Baptist was indeed Elijah.
DNA MATCH: Similar Clothing

John and Elijah also had the same kind of clothes. Concerning
Elijah, the Bible says, “And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and
girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the
Tishbite,” (1 Kings 1:8). And in the New Testament, the Bible says, “And
John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his
loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey,” (Mark 1:6). They had similar
clothes and they had similar characters. They were both rough and wild.
DNA MATCH: Similar Diet

The Bible talks about how John was like a wild man, eating locust
and honey. “And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey,”
(Matthew 3:4). Elijah was the same way: wild. He had ravens feeding him
morning and evening for a season. “And the ravens brought him bread and
flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of
the brook,” (1 Kings 17:6). The anointing and mantles of God never die!
Elijah had been translated from the earth now for over four hundred years,
and now another man had been raised by God to pick up his mantle.
Elijah and John had the same ministry because they are of the same
lineage. Hallelujah! That is powerful.
DNA MATCH: Obscure Background

Moreover, when Elijah came on the scene, you read nothing about
his background. All it says is that Elijah the Tishbite came on the scene
prophesying. With John the Baptist, you read about his birth and then it's
over. You don't hear anything else about his life until he was in the
wilderness and heard the Word of the Lord. “And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing
unto Israel,” (Luke 1:80). John also came out of nowhere, the wilderness,
preaching the gospel.
128
DNA MATCH: Turning Hearts

If you notice, John the Baptist was peculiar. Not only did he have
the spirit of Elijah, but he also had the same type of prophetic ministry that
challenged idolatry and rebuked people like his spiritual father, Elijah. The
spirit of Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal and those that were in
idolatry. The same is true of the way John came on the scene prophesying
and preaching repentance. They both had the grace to turn the heart of the
fathers to the sons and the sons to the father. They both had the ministry
to preach repentance and to turn the hearts of men. It was the same
ministry spirit and power of Elijah. You see, my friend, the anointing
never dies.
John came in the spirit of Elijah to turn the heart of the fathers
towards the hearts of the children. And what do you notice about Elijah's
time? The Bible always made reference to the sons of the prophets and the
school of the prophets. The spirit that was on Elijah's ministry turned the
hearts of the sons and daughters to the fathers. You had young men and
women prophets whose hearts were turned toward obeying spiritual
authority and they looked to Elijah with respect. You read about other
men who did not. John, in his ministry, also raised up several disciples.
Paul in Acts 19 found twelve of them in Ephesus and shook the whole of
Asia with those disciples. All those who were baptized by John received
Jesus. “And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified
God, being baptized with the baptism of John,” (Luke 7:29).
Both Elijah and John turned the hearts of the fathers to the children
and the hearts of the children to the fathers, they also brought order and
restoration in their ministry. However, the biggest thing in their ministry
was to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the sons to the fathers.
Elijah prayed, “Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know
that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back
again,” (1 King 18:37). After this prayer, God released fire from heaven in
the sight of all Israel and they all fell on their knees and worshipped God.
Elijah, right there, turned the hearts of the children of Israel back to the
God of their fathers. In the New Testament Gabriel told Zacharias, “And
he (John) shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the
129
hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of
the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord,” (Luke 1:17).
DNA MATCH: Offense

The Lord gave me another DNA match, this time a negative one.
Jesus said to me, “Not only good things happen in a lineage, but also
negative things. You must also know the negative things.” You have to
know both the positive and negative similarities. He said, “I will show you
how John the Baptist picked up negative things in that lineage just like
Elijah. Who is the only prophet who after he was threatened with death
by a woman fled, got depressed and offended at God?” It was Elijah. After
he was threatened with death by Jezebel, he fell to the spirit of offense. He
got offended at the Lord and complained to God in other words, “I am the
only prophet left in Israel and they are trying to kill me! Lord, kill me
before they kill me.” And who in the New Testament got offended with
the Lord Jesus after he was persecuted by Herodias, Herod’s wife, and got
thrown in prison? It was John the Baptist.
While he was in the prison, John got offended and began to doubt
if Jesus was the Christ. John sent word to Jesus, “Art thou he that should
come, or do we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3). Jesus had to send word
back to him to confirm his identity as the Christ and to also warn him
against offense. Jesus said to John, “And blessed is he, whosoever shall
not be offended in me,” (Matthew 11:6). So even though Jesus testified of
John that he was the greatest of all those born of women up to that point
in time, he still fell way short of his ministry. Even though he was used
greatly by God, John repeated the mistakes of his father Elijah. If he had
known that he was in the Elijah lineage he would never have fallen into
offense. John did not know who he was, even though Jesus said he was
Elijah.
John’s Lineage Ignorance

“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied
not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then?
130
Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he
answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give
an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I
am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of
the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias,” (John 1:19-23).
Now watch this. This is the amazing thing the Lord showed me.
He said to me, “David, John did not know who he was.” You see, John
did not understand who he was and what lineage he came from. When the
Lord told me that John did not know who he was I was really surprised. I
had never seen that in the word. The Lord took me to the John 1 passage
to confirm what he told me.
In John 1:21, the Jewish Religious Leaders asked John, "Art thou
Elias?”
He tells them, "I am not." He was basically telling them, “I am not

Elijah.”
John the Baptist said that he was not, but in Matthew 11:14 Jesus
said, "And if ye will receive it, this is Elias which was for to come."
You see, John did not know that he was the Elijah God sent and
John 1:19, 21-23 proves that he had no idea he was in the Elijah Lineage.
He knew part of what God wanted him to do, but he did not understand
who he was spiritually. He knew he was the voice of one crying in the
wilderness (Isaiah 40:3) but he didn't know he was the “Elias which was
for to come” prophesied by Prophet Malachi. This shows that GOD will
reveal to you, part of your destiny and assignment, but knowing your
lineage will reveal the whole other part. That is why the bible says, “For
we know in part, and we prophesy in part,” (1 Corinthians 13:9).
God will not reveal everything to you about yourself, your

ministry, or His destiny for your life. He will only show you in stages and
parts. You have to go search and study the fathers to determine the other
part of your destiny. As you go on this search, the Lord will guide you
along with more revelation, dreams, and visions of your lineage destiny.
God revealed to John and told him that he is the voice of one crying in the
131
wilderness. “For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,

saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight,” (Matthew 3:3). John knew this part,
but he did not know that he was also the Elijah who was to come. John
the Baptist was not just supposed to baptize people. He was supposed to
raise the dead and split seas as his spiritual father Elijah did, but something
went wrong in that lineage. I will now show you why the power and
miracles skipped John.
Elijah’s Lineage Split

You see, the Elijah lineage and ministry is divided between Elisha
and John the Baptist. Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit that
was on Elijah. And what did Elisha mostly inherit from Elijah? The
miracle ministry. Elisha performed double the miracles of his spiritual
father Elijah. He manifested great power in his ministry, but the other
aspect of Elijah’s ministry, turning the heart of the fathers to the children
and the hearts of the children to the fathers, skipped Elisha and hit John
the Baptist. Elisha was very strong in the miracle ministry that he inherited
from Elijah, but he was not as strong with turning the hearts of the children
to the fathers. If you notice, Gehazi could not catch what was on Elisha.
Elisha rejected Gehazi and cursed him because of his covetousness.
During Elijah's ministry, he had a servant who was to be his

successor named Elisha. God instructed Elijah to appoint Elisha to
replace him. “… and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou
anoint to be prophet in thy room,” (1 Kings 19:16). The Bible says that
Elisha poured water on the hands of Elijah - he served him. As Elisha
walked with Elijah, he desired to have a double portion of Elijah's spirit.
The double portion is also a legal term for the inheritance a firstborn son
would receive from his father. Elisha knew Elijah was his father and
addressed him as such. When Elijah was taken up into heaven the Bible
says, “And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of
Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took
hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces,” (2 Kings 2:12).
132
Let me stop here for a moment and say this to you: association
brings the anointing. Many of you out there are drawn to ministries and
don't know why. You are an Elisha following Elijah. Elisha followed
Elijah, and because he met the requirement, he got a double portion of the
spirit that was on Elijah. Elisha got a spiritual inheritance immediately!
He did not have to pay the price his father paid to acquire the inheritance,
all he had to do was connect to the father in his lineage and he got it! He
received a powerful mantle to do amazing miracles, signs, wonders, and
unprecedented glory abilities. As soon as he picked up the Elijah’s mantle,
he could split waters, multiply bread, cause an iron ax to float on water,
and perform many other miracles. You see, my friends, Elisha was hungry
for the spiritual inheritance that was on Elijah's life. He was not after
money; he wanted spiritual things. Because of this, a double portion of that
spiritual inheritance fell on him and he did double what Elijah did. Elijah
pursued it and God gave it to him. Gehazi, Elisha’s spiritual son, was
different.
Gehazi’s Mistake
“But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my
master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that
which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take
somewhat of him. But he went in, and stood before his master. And
Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy
servant went no whither. And he said unto him, Went not mine heart
with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it
a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and
vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? The
leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for
ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow,” (2
Kings 5:20, 25-26).
Now, this is the point where Elisha started to move in the

prophetic ministry after Elijah was taken away. He was also given a
servant who was to be the next in succession to take the mantle. The
servant's name was Gehazi, but Gehazi was not spiritually hungry for the
double portion of the spiritual inheritance from Elisha's life, like Elisha
133
was from Elijah's life. The Bible speaks of this in 2 Kings 5:21, when it
says Gehazi went after Naaman after he was healed through Elisha's
ministry and asked for the money even after Elisha had turned down the
money. Gehazi was hungrier for material things than for the spiritual
inheritance on his life from GOD. Therefore, let us read these tragic words
in 2 Kings 13:20-21:
"And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites
invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as
they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and
they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let
down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his
feet.”
You may ask, “How is this tragic?” I used to rejoice over how
Elisha’s bones raised the dead. For not even today do men's bones raise
the dead. I used to rejoice over this passage of scripture and revel in the
amazing power those prophets walked in to the point that even their bones
could raise the dead.
But one day as I was reading this passage of scripture, the Lord
said to me, "Son, do not rejoice over this scripture for these are tragic
words."
And I asked, "Lord, what do you mean? This is a powerful passage

of scripture.”
The Lord then revealed to me that the anointing that was in

Elisha’s bones was not supposed to go to the grave with him. That
anointing was supposed to be passed on to another generation like it was
passed on to Elisha. The Lord explained to me that Gehazi was to be
Elisha’s successor and capture that anointing for his generation, but
Gehazi, being a representative of that generation, failed to receive this
inheritance because he went after money. Elisha saw that Gehazi was after
money and cursed him, and Gehazi became a leper until the day of his
death.
134
I began to weep because I saw then how important it is for every

generation to capture the ministries that God places on men and women
for the next generation.
The Lord began to speak to me and said: "Warn your generation

that if they go after material things or money they will not have the
spiritual inheritance. Warn these younger preachers and those preachers
doing contracts. Tell them that they will never enter into glory if they do
that. Tell them that if they act like Gehazi and treat ministry like business
just to get money and just to have the limelight, tell them, they may have
a word but they will not have my power. They are being like Gehazi. Tell
them they are whores, and that is why they will not carry the inheritance
of the fathers.” This is why many preachers do not have the glory of God
on them. They do not have the double portion of power because they have
made the Gehazi mistake.
Some of the biggest ministers today will not go and preach

anywhere until they are guaranteed a certain amount of money. Some
demand guarantees of $20,000 and even some demand $50,000 upfront.
When Jesus sent out the apostles to preach the kingdom of God and heal
the sick he told them, “Freely ye have received, freely give.” (Matt 10:8).
We should pay heed to that commandment. And yes, we are supposed to
honor men of God and give offerings, we are not talking about that
because honor must be given where honor is due. What I am talking about
are ministers who will not go to certain places because they are not
guaranteed money. These are whores and hirelings prostituting the gospel
of Jesus Christ. That is why you see these ministers raised up, but they do
not have power.
Gehazi was supposed to carry that mantle, but because he failed

to receive the mantle out of greed, Elisha went to the grave with the
anointing still on his bones. The anointing was never transferred. If you
notice, after Elisha's death, there was not another prophet raised up in
Israel who walked in the spirit and power of Elijah for many hundreds of
years. The miracles stopped with Elisha because it was never passed on in
the lineage. You see, there are some things in your lineage that are blocked
up because somebody made a mistake in the past. You must recover
135
everything lost in your lineage. At the beginning of the New Testament we

see this lineage being revived again and coming back on the scene through
John the Baptist.
136
137
The Cost of John’s Ignorance

“And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if
thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?” (John 1:25)
You must understand that Elijah’s lineage experienced failure in
succession for so many years, and a lot of the powerful
manifestations of his lineage were lost. That's why when it gets to John,
he is only manifesting one level of his lineage: turning the hearts of the
fathers. He had no miracles like Elijah and Elisha. The only thing that was
salvaged out of this lineage is the preaching of repentance. Saints, that is
very tragic! John had the spirit and power of Elijah on his life, but lack of
knowledge hindered the full manifestation of that inheritance. This is why
you never see John call down fire from heaven. He could speak of the
Baptism of Fire, but he could not demonstrate it. He could baptize people
in water, but he could not perform miracles with water like Elijah and
Elisha did.
All John could do was preach repentance, rebuke people, and
baptize them in water. He did capture the other side of his destiny from
God during his years of preparation in the wilderness. He understood that
he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness; prepare the way of the
Lord (Isaiah 40:1-3). John prepared the way for the Lord Jesus Christ. In
fact, all those who received his ministry and his counsel had their hearts
prepared to meet and receive Jesus. All those who rejected John could not
accept Jesus. “And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees
and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not
baptized of him,” (Luke 7:29-30).
John the Baptist was the forerunner for Jesus which made him the
most powerful prophet who ever lived before the Lord Jesus as the Lord
declared, “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women
there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist,” (Matt 11:11). He was
the fulfillment of what Malachi prophesied as follows:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before
me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,
138
even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall
come, saith the LORD of hosts,” (Malachi 3:1).
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the LORD,” (Malachi 4:5).
In spite of all this, John, out of ignorance, missed a key piece of his
destiny that could have convinced more people, especially the religious
leaders, about Jesus’ ministry. He was ignorant to the fact that he was the
messenger prophesied in Malachi 3:1 and Malachi 4:5. He could not
answer the Jewish leaders when they asked for his lineage identity. As the
bible says “And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith,
I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No,” (John 1:21). The
religious leaders knew that someone had to come through the lineage of
Elijah before the Messiah comes, as Malachi prophesied in the two
passages above. Let us look at more details of the conversation John had
with the Jews concerning his identity:
“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And they asked him,
and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor
Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with
water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is,
who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not
worthy to unloose,” (John 1:19, 25-27).
The Jewish religious leaders were basically asking John, “Hey, if

you are not Elijah the Prophet, why are you preaching repentance? Why
are you baptizing?” They questioned John because the leaders knew that
baptism was a symbol of repentance. They knew that what John was doing
was the ministry of repentance, and they were looking for someone to
come in the Spirit and Power of Elijah. They knew what Malachi
prophesied about Elijah.
They were saying to John, “You are like Elijah. Are you Elijah?”
And you can see that John did not and could not answer the question right
139
because he did not know of his lineage. He could only speak of the one
coming after him.
If he knew his lineage he would have said, “Yes I am that Elijah

who was to come. I am the one Malachi prophesied about and I am also
the voice crying out in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord as
Isaiah prophesied.” Can you imagine how much more impactful John’s
ministry would have been? But he did not know. That was a serious miss
and one of the reasons why Israel could not discern the time of their
visitation and got judged.
So, when John denied that he was Elijah, the Pharisees simply
dismissed and rejected his counsel about the Messiah. What a missed
opportunity! To this day, the Jews are still waiting for Elijah to come. This
is an important lesson to learn. A lot of things in your lineage can be lost
if you do not go back and study the inheritance that is in your lineage.
John could have had more to his ministry, but because he only knew part
of his destiny, the other part of it was lost. John had an identity crisis. He
knew he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, but he did not know
that he was “…Elias, which was for to come,” (Matthew 11:14). If he had
known his spiritual inheritance in the Elijah Lineage, he could have gone
back and salvaged everything that was lost.
You see, John did not know who he really was because even Jesus
admitted that John was Elijah. That is why Jesus said, “And if ye will
receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come,” (Matt 11:14). If John knew
his spiritual father, he would have never denied who he was, and he would
not have walked just in the Spirit, but also in the Power of Elijah. Even
though Gabriel prophesied that John would walk in the power of Elijah,
he did not because he did not know his spiritual inheritance in Elijah’s
Lineage.
So, I would say to you while you have this book in your hand, stir
yourself up to study who your fathers are and who their fathers were. Go
back and study to receive the abundance of spiritual riches and the destiny
that you have waiting for you through inheritance. When you do this, you
will understand why you act the way you do. You will not have people
140
discouraging you for what God is doing in life when you know where you
are from. I have seen many people who had awesome ministries and
powerful callings of God on their life. God was doing something really
special with them, but the people around them labeled what God was
doing in their life as devilish or witchcraft. I have seen these people just
throw it all away and jettison their faith and ministry. But when you
understand inheritance by lineage, you will understand what God is doing
in your life and cooperate with him. You will tell your detractors, “I am
doing this because I am from that lineage.”
The Lord revealed more to me how John the Baptist was moving
in the transferred ministry lineage of Elijah. There are many similarities in
the ministries of Elijah and John the Baptist. These are some of the
similarities, which I refer to as the DNA matches between John the Baptist
and Elijah, confirming that they are of the same lineage.
Now that you have seen the biblical proof of the DNA match and
spiritual lineage connections between John the Baptist and Elijah, can you
see the tragedy and danger of not knowing your lineage? You will never
reach your fullest potential in your destiny if you do not know your
spiritual lineage and inheritance.
But Jesus was not done. He had more to reveal to me that

absolutely shocked me and boggled my mind. Let me share with you what
He revealed to me…

CHAPTER 9
The Mosaic Lineage
149
“For Jesus to have an earthly
ministry, He had to come
through a lineage.”
150
The DNA of the Fathers and Sons
CHAPTER 9
The Mosaic Lineage
For Jesus to Have an Earthly Ministry, He had to Come Through a

Lineage
Jesus’ Lineage
Jesus then said to me, “David, did you not know that I was from
a spiritual lineage? Even I had a spiritual father in ministry.” My brain was
in total shock, springs began to pop out of it.
I said incredulously, “No Lord, Your Father is God. God the

Father, He is your Father. No man could be your spiritual father. You are
the Son of God. Who is going to be your Father but God?”
The Lord said, “No, I am not only the Son of God. I am also the
Son of Man. All righteousness had to be fulfilled in my life.” You see, as
the Son of Man, Jesus qualified to receive the inheritance of man which is
why He had to go through everything man went through to fulfill all
righteousness. And what was that righteousness of Jehovah? Inheritance
by Lineage!
151
God created in the lineage of men for there to be inheritance.

Because Jesus was born through the canal of man, He had to go through
the laws of man. God created the laws of man to manifest through
inheritance. You look like your father or your mother. You have their ears;
you have their nose. It is called the Law of Inheritance. You have your
father’s eyes because it is an inheritance law in the earth. It is one of the
natural laws for men. Therefore, Jesus had to go through that process as
the Son of Man and was touched with the feeling of our infirmities and
tempted on all points as we are (Hebrews 4:13).
Even though Jesus was the Son of God, He was also the Son of
Man. That is why He came in the flesh as the Son of David. “Concerning
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David
according to the flesh,” (Romans 1:3). That is why at the River Jordan
when John, out of reverence for Jesus as the Son of God, did not want to
baptize Jesus, the bible says, “And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer
it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him,” (Matthew 3:15). Jesus had to explain to John that as the
Son of Man He had to fulfill all righteousness.
If Jesus did not come as a man, He could never have had an earthly
ministry as the Son of Man. It would have been illegal. That is why He is
not only called the Son of God, but also the Son of Man. Jesus Christ, the
Son of Man, came through a lineage as well. Jesus called Himself the Son
of Man, more than He did his title as the Son of GOD, which demonstrates
His humanity. Yes, He is deity, but a deity who took on a natural body
and dwelt amongst us. “And without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh …” (1 Timothy 3:16). Jesus had
to be the Son of Man to fulfill His spiritual ministry destiny on the earth.
In order for Jesus to get here to have an earthly ministry, He had to come
through a lineage. I am not talking about genealogy, I am talking about
spiritual lineage. You will know the type of ministry God has for you on
earth when you know your spiritual lineage.
As Son of Man, Jesus came through and submitted to a family.

Jesus submitted himself to his earthly parents. “And he went down with
them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them,” (Luke 2:51).
152
As a son of man, He had to be born of a woman. God has a spiritual law

that you cannot exist here unless you come through the birth canal of a
woman. That is why Eve is called the Mother of All Living. “And Adam
called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living,”
(Genesis 3:20). A spirit cannot just exist here. You’ve got to have a body
to live here. That is why it is illegal for demons to be on earth, and that is
why we have the authority to cast them out, because it is illegal for them
to be on earth or even inside a person. If they were not sent here by God,
then it is illegal for them to be on earth. You cannot be on earth unless
you walk in a body.
For Jesus to fulfill God’s promise and obey the word of God and
God’s law at the same time, God had to prepare a body for Him.
“Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, … a body hast thou
prepared me,” (Hebrews 10:5). God will not and does not break his law.
He has magnified His word above His own name. Jesus had to be manifest
in the flesh to win back the world legitimately. That is why the bible says,
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth,” (John 1:14).
And then He looked at me and said, “Do you want to know who
my father was?”
I said, “Yes, Lord.” Then He spoke to me by scripture.
He said, “Moses prophesied, the LORD God shall raise up a

prophet like unto me whom ye shall hear in all things.”
I said, “Oh, so you are saying Moses is your spiritual father in

ministry?”
He said, “Yes. Although I was born supernaturally as a man, my

ministry came through the spiritual lineage of a spiritual father on earth.”
This is exactly what Moses prophesied to the children of Israel, “The
LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee,
of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken,” (Deuteronomy
18:15).
153
DNA MATCHES: Moses and Jesus

“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of
thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken,”
(Deuteronomy 18:15).
“This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear,” (Acts 7:37).
“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his
prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.”
“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your
God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear
in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you,”
(Acts 3:18, 22).
Moses said God would raise up a prophet “like unto me.” Moses
was saying that Jesus would be similar to him. He was saying that Jesus
will have a similar style of prophetic ministry. Moses specifically said God
would raise up a prophet “like unto me,” and Jesus was clearly the prophet
Moses was referring to. Where is the connection? Where can we find the
match? Jesus began to give me the similarities between Him and Moses.
Jesus' lineage traces back to Moses. Did you know that Jesus
brought in the New Testament level and closure to the Old Testament
when He brought about a new and better testament? As the bible says,
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also
he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better
promises,” (Hebrews 8:6).
Did you also know that when the scriptures refer to the new glory
that Jesus brought to the New Testament, it is referring to and comparing
it to Moses' glory? I'll show you how! Isn't this exciting? Are you getting
stirred dear friend? This revelation shook me to my very bones as the Lord
154
155
began to open my eyes to such glorious truths. In other words, there was
prophecy through Moses that Jesus, "that Prophet," or the Messiah,
would be "like unto Moses" or similar to his life and ministry. My heart
leapt again! Similarities... Let’s continue!
DNA MATCH: Decree Issued to Kill All Children

“And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye
shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive,” (Exodus
1:22).
“Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men,”
(Matthew 2:16).
I said to the Lord, “So you are saying Moses was your spiritual
father in ministry?”
He said, “Yes, let me give you the DNA Test. Who is the only
prophet in the Old Testament who the King put out an edict to kill at
birth?” It was Moses! At his birth, Pharaoh issued a decree to have all
Israelite baby boys thrown into the Nile. “And who is the only prophet in
the New Testament who at birth the King tried to kill together with all the
children in Bethlehem? That was Jesus! How is it that both Moses and
Jesus could go through the same thing? It is called lineage in DNA.
So, for those in the Mosaic lineage, there is usually an attack on

their life at birth. In my own life for example, abortion was legalized a year
after I was born. I was born in 1972 and abortion was legalized in the Roe
v. Wade case in 1973. Interestingly, the Roe v. Wade case was first brought
to the Supreme Court on appeal in 1970. Satan was even then planning to
take me out. The abortion edict was sent out in 1973 a year after I was
born, across the whole nation. I am not just talking about me. I am talking
about anyone in this lineage.
156
Jesus, through this visitation, was explaining to me who I was.

When you know who you are, you will do greater things. In the body of
Christ today, there is a lot of talk about doing greater things.
Many preachers are saying, “We will do greater things than Moses
and Elijah.” Well you are not going to do anything greater than they did
if you do not get what they had first. How are you going to be a thousand
times more than your fathers when there is nothing to multiply by? That is
why we do not see ancient ministry on the scene today. You’ve got to have
at least their foundation to multiply by, and then you can increase greatly.
Their life is the seed for the harvest of your destiny.
DNA MATCH: Face Shining

“And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with
the two tablets of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from
the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he
talked with him,” (Exodus 34:29).
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and
bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured
before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white
as the light,” (Matthew 17:1-2).
Then Jesus asked me, “Do you want another DNA match?”
Immediately I said, “Yes, Lord.”
He said, “Who is the only prophet that came off a mountain with
his face shining in the Old Testament?”
I knew the answer, “Moses.”
Then He asked me, “Who is the only prophet in the New

Testament whose face shone on the mountain?” It was Jesus! I was really
amazed at this revelation because I thought Jesus’ face shone on the
Mount of Transfiguration because he was the Son of God. And the Lord,
knowing my thoughts, rebuked me and said, “No! That had been done
before. Moses’ face shone on the mountain.”
157
This is also why Jesus said to the Jews, “For had ye believed
Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe
not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” (John 5:46-47). Here it
is - Jesus is pinpointing his direct lineage to Moses!
He was in other words telling the Jews, “To believe me you must
have believed Moses, Moses was like me, he wrote of me.” A key piece of
your destiny and identity is written out for you by the lives and words of
your fathers!
Then the Lord began to explain my spiritual lineage and

inheritance. He said to me, “That is why David when you were in college
your face began to shine in front of hundreds of people.” I immediately
began to remember those days. There were times when my face would
glow after coming out of prayer without me even being aware. That was
when people began to call me a warlock and even leaders in the church
began to criticize my ministry because they could not understand what was
happening to me. The Lord broke into my thoughts, “It is because they do
not know their lineage. You are in my lineage, the Mosaic Lineage.” That
explained so much of what was going on in my life. Moses’ face began to
shine powerfully after he came out of the glorious presence of God on
Mount Sinai. The bible says, “…Moses wist not that the skin of his face
shone while he talked with him,” (Exodus 34:29). Moses’ face shone when
he talked with God. That is prayer. Moses had his face shining after prayer!
That is exactly what happened to me. I did not understand why

when I was a young man I was drawn to the ministry of Moses. I would
do a lot of forty day fasts in those days. One day after finishing a forty day
fast I had to preach somewhere, and suddenly my face began shining as I
was preaching. Everybody saw it. This happened twice in my life. One
other time, my mother came to pick me up from a church where I had been
doing a shut-in for several days. I did not know my face was shining and
my mom was startled when she saw me, but she would not say anything
about what was going on. At that time, she was trying to keep me humble.
158
I wanted to get some Captain D’s after the fast and so she took me
there. When I walked in, everybody turned to look at me. I did not know
why they were looking at me.
They started pointing at me in Captain D’s and telling my mother,

“He’s shining, he’s shining. His face is shining.” I could not sit down and
eat comfortably because of the attention I was getting. When these things
were happening with me, religious leaders and people accused me of being
a warlock. But now I understand that all of that happened because I was
inheriting from my lineage.
Jesus had the same thing happen to Him. When Jesus went up a
mount with Peter, James, and John to pray, Luke records that “… as he
prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was
white and glistering,” (Luke 9:29). Matthew also records, “And was
transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment
was white as the light,” (Matthew 17:2). Jesus’ face shone like the sun!
Now, watch this, when Jesus was transfigured on the mountain and His
face began to shine, it was not just Him displaying His power as a son of
God, because it had been done before. Moses had done this in the Old
Testament. You must understand that Jesus did not come into His glory
as the son of God until after his death. That is why He said, “Ought not
Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?” (Luke
24:26). All the glory, miracles, signs, and wonders that Jesus walked in on
earth was all done through the spiritual inheritance He accessed through
the spiritual lineages.
DNA MATCH: Called out of Egypt

“When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and
departed into Egypt And was there until the death of Herod: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
Egypt have I called my son,”
(Matthew 2:14-15).
“Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou
mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”
159
“And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my
son, even my firstborn,” (Exodus 3:10; 4:22).
The Lord continued teaching me his spiritual lineage. He said to

me, “Although I was born supernaturally as a Man, my ministry came
through the spiritual lineage of a spiritual father on earth.” Then He said,
“This is a DNA Match. Who is the only prophet in the Old Testament that
it says Out of Egypt I have called my son?” It was Moses. He had to go to
Egypt to be called out Egypt. And who in the New Testament had that
testimony? It was Jesus. He had to flee from Herod to Egypt, and then
when Herod died, an angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him to
take Jesus back to Israel. Matthew records, “That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I
called my son.”
DNA MATCH: Dispute over Body at Death

The Lord was not done with me. He said, “Who is the only prophet in the
Old Testament that there was controversy over his body at his death?”
Moses! When Moses died, there was a great conflict over his body. The
bible says, “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee,” (Jude 1:9). Michael and Satan
fought over his body. Who in the New Testament had a similar
experience? Jesus. At his death there was a great dispute over his body.
God had foreseen that and ensured that the body of Jesus would be
preserved. “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption,” (Psalm 16:10). Even while he was in
the tomb, the Pharisees convinced Pilate to seal the tomb and station
Roman soldiers around the tomb for three days. After three days, God
raised up Jesus and angels came down and moved the stone from the
mouth of the tomb. DNA match!
DNA MATCH: Major Healing Ministry

“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one
feeble person among their tribes,” (Psalm 105:37).
160
“But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,” (Matthew 12:15).
When you know who you are you, understand a lot about your
destiny. Jesus told me this and then He said, “Who is the only prophet that
the miracle ministry was so strong on them that all were healed under
them?” It was Moses! The bible records that “He brought them forth also
with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their
tribes,” (Psalm 105:37). When Moses brought Israel out of Egypt, every
single one of the Israelites were healed. There were several times that Jesus
healed all in His ministry! The bible says, “And the whole multitude
sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them
all,” (Luke 6:19). Jesus had a powerful healing ministry. Then the Lord
said to me, “David, that is why the healing ministry runs strong in your
life.” He added, “It does not come just through the lineage of Pastor Benny
Hinn and then Kathryn Kuhlman, it traces all the way back to Moses.”
As Jesus shared all this with me, I was so overwhelmed and

amazed at the incredible depth of revelation I was receiving. It was so
incredible! had tears coming down my eyes as I began to understand who
I was.
I started to say, “So that is why you are using me like this and
that.” I was now beginning to understand my destiny calling.
DNA MATCH: Staff of Twelve and Seventy

“Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give
unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a
man, every one a ruler among them,” (Numbers 13:2).
“And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a
tribe,” (Deuteronomy 1:23).
“And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he
chose twelve, whom also he named apostles,” (Luke 6:13).
The Lord continued to reveal more DNA Matches in the word to

me. He said to me, “Who is the only prophet who had a staff of twelve,
161
and then seventy” It was Moses in the Old Testament. Then he asked me,
“And who in the New Testament?” It was Jesus! Even the number of
people on their staff was the same. Moses had twelve spies selected out of
each of the twelve tribes that he sent out to survey the Land as the Lord
commanded him in Numbers 13. Jesus also had twelve disciples that he
sent out before his face. Just like Moses sent out the twelve into the land,
Jesus also sent out the Twelve Apostles, “And he called unto him the
twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power
over unclean spirits,” (Mark 6:7).
Moses also had seventy elders who he appointed to help him carry
the burden of the ministry. The LORD God commanded Moses,
“…Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest
to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto
the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee,”
(Numbers 11:16). When Moses gathered these men together, the Lord
came down in a cloud and took part of the anointing that was on Moses
and placed it on these seventy elders and they began to prophesy.
Interestingly, Jesus also in his ministry had another team of seventy
disciples whom he also sent out to preach and heal. This is recorded in
Luke 10:1, “After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and
sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither
he himself would come.” DNA match!
DNA MATCH: 400-Year Period

The Lord was not done with me, He then said to me, “Who is the only
prophet in the Old Testament that after a four hundred-year period, God
raised up to deliver Israel from the bondage of Egypt?” It was Moses. And
after a four hundred-year silence between the Old Testament (Malachi)
and the New Testament (Matthew), God raised up another prophet like
Moses, Jesus Christ, to save the whole world from their sins! They were
both raised up after a four hundred-year period.
Moreover, between Malachi and Matthew, Israel experienced a

dark period where they did not have any major prophet or divine
visitations. This is just what Psalm 74:9 foretold, “We see not our signs:
162
there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth
how long.” That is why when John the Baptist came on the scene everyone
flocked to him. The people had been without a prophet for centuries. God
established this four hundred-year precedent with Abraham when he told
him, “Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is
not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred
years,” (Genesis 15:13).
The Lord said to me more recently, “David, another proof that you
are in the Mosaic Lineage is that I chose to start coming down on earth
working with you four hundred years after America had been established.”
After God revealed that to me, I knew that could not be a coincidence. I
was not aware of that, and later when I had researched the history of
America I discovered that King James I gave the first American settlers a
grant to establish a settlement called Jamestown in June 1606. That
confirmed what the Lord said to me. That again proved to me that I was
in the same lineage that the Lord Jesus was in, the Mosaic Lineage.
Beginning in the year 2006, God the Father began to work more directly
with me and started appearing face to face in the clouds over entire regions
that He sent me to! 1606 to 2006 is four hundred years! Four hundred
years! You can find your life in the word as the bible says, “Then said I,
Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,” (Psalm 40:7).
Do you see how powerful lineage is? Once the Lord begins to
reveal to you who your fathers are you will begin to also discover amazing
DNA matches to the fathers in your lineage, then you can begin to receive
and manifest your spiritual inheritance by that lineage.
DNA MATCH: Dominion and Mastery over Water

Element
“And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted
up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of
Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in
the river were turned to blood,” (Exodus 7:20).
163
“When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine,
and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water
knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,” (John 2:9).
If you notice in the bible, both Jesus and Moses had great power
with water. Who is the only prophet who had power over water in the Old
Testament to do unspeakable things with it? It was Moses! He turned the
waters of Egypt into blood. Jesus, in the New Testament, turned water
into wine. Moses turned waters into blood to judge Egypt, while Jesus
turned water into wine to save the wedding party from great
embarrassment. Moreover, Moses exercised dominion over the Red Sea
when he split it into two for Israel to walk through on dry land. Jesus took
this to the next level. He simply walked on the water. Both Moses and
Jesus had done great exploits with water.
DNA MATCH: Intimacy with God the Father

Moses and Jesus both had a close relationship with the Father.
Moses had a very special relationship with the Father. The bible says,
“And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto
his friend,” (Exodus 33:11). Notice the similarities. God and Jesus also
had such a special relationship. The bible says that the voice of the Father
came out of heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; hear ye him,” (Matthew 17:5). This happened at different times
during Jesus' ministry. Jesus testified about how close He was to the
Father. “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father
do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For
the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel,” (John
5:19-20). Jesus had a very close relationship with the Father.
DNA MATCH: Unprecedented Miracles and Marvels

“And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do
marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation:
164
and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the
LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee,” (Exodus 34:10).
“For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself
doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may
marvel,” (John 5:20).
It was said of Moses that “…there arose not a prophet since in

Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,”
(Deuteronomy 34:10). Moses had a unique legacy. No one could out do
what he did. He moved in a heavy weight of glory that was unmatched
until Jesus came on the scene. Jesus told his disciples, “If I had not done
among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin…”
(John 15:24). Because Jesus knew his lineage, He could bring more on the
scene. He also, like Moses, did miracles “which none other man did.”
Jesus walked into the Mosaic Covenant that God promised Moses in
Exodus 34:10.
DNA MATCH: Glory Ministry

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was
faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his
house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the
house,” (Hebrews 3:1-3).
This scripture in Hebrews speaks of Moses and Jesus because they

are from the same lineage and shows how the Jesus ministry came from
the Moses ministry. In the book of Hebrews, the bible talks about Jesus
being worthy of more glory than Moses. The bible says, “For this man was
counted worthy of more glory than Moses.” Jesus knew his lineage. He told
the Jews who were persecuting him, “For had ye believed Moses, ye would
have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings,
how shall ye believe my words?” (John 5:46-47). Unlike John the Baptist,
Jesus knew his spiritual father, and He manifested the spiritual inheritance
of His lineage very powerfully and took it to the next level.
165
That is why Jesus had a ministry of glory like that of Moses. When
Paul, in 2 Corinthians 3, talked about the new glory that was coming
through Jesus, he always compared it to the glory Moses walked in. “For
if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the
ministration of righteousness exceed in glory,” (2 Corinthians 3:9). Moses
carried a strong level of glory, but Jesus superseded it and carried it to the
next level. Why and how? Because He did not destroy the law of Moses,
He fulfilled and carried it to the next level. He did not destroy the
foundation of his father, He took it to the next level as the Son of Man.
What was the most profound similarity between the ministries of

Jesus and Moses? It was the glory! Moses asked to see God’s glory and
God allowed him to see His back parts. Jesus asked the Father to glorify
his name as the bible says, “Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a
voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again,”
(John 12:28). Jesus prayed and sought the glory of God. He prayed in John
17 and said, “…Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also
may glorify thee:” (John 17:1). Both Moses and Jesus sought the glory of
the Father!
166
167
The Glory That Excelleth

Why does it always refer to Moses as a likeness when the scripture
speaks about Jesus? It is because they have the same lineage. It is saying
that Jesus is like Moses. Moses said, "The LORD thy God will raise up
unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee,
of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken," (Deuteronomy
18:15). Moses was writing about Jesus!
The bible talks about Jesus being worthy of more glory than Moses
and Jesus, therefore demonstrated a higher level of power. As the bible
says, “For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the
house.” Why is it then, that it seems like Moses did more signs and
wonders? Well, he didn't. When Jesus was on earth, He did not have a
cloud following him every day like Moses. Jesus was the cloud and fire.
There were, however, some occasions in Jesus’ ministry when the clouds
of God manifested powerfully. If you remember, on the Mount of
Transfiguration the Father came down in a Cloud and spoke out of the
Cloud to Jesus and to the disciples who were with Him. Peter, James, and
John saw what Peter later called the “excellent glory” on the Mount of
Transfiguration.
“For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by
reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was
glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious,”
(2 Corinthians 3:10-11).
In this passage, God spoke of Moses as an example. He was saying

that if the glory during Moses time was glorious, the glory of Jesus is much
greater. The glory Jesus walks in is so much greater, that it seems the glory
of Moses is eclipsed and done away with when compared with the Glory
Jesus brought on the scene. This is because whereas God was with Moses,
God was with and in Jesus. In fact, Jesus explained to Philip, one of his
disciples, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known
me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest
168
thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of
myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works,” (John 14:9-
10). God was pleased to have all His fullness indwell Jesus.
Jesus brought a new glorious manifestation of God on the scene

that all other ages did not have. God could manifest through him in ways
he could not with the fathers in the Old Testament. Paul called this the
fellowship of mystery that was hidden from other ages. What Jesus did
with the spiritual inheritance he obtained from the Moses’ Lineage
excelled and exceeded everything Moses did. You are not supposed to lose
what was in your lineage. You are supposed to carry it over and do greater.
You must understand one thing. Jesus entered another realm of glory after
his death. He entered into resurrection power. Moses could never compete
with Jesus. Resurrection power is something that Moses never entered
into.
Whereas Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, Jesus

translated generations and different ages of men and women who had died
throughout history out of Hell. Jesus also provided eternal redemption for
future generations. What Jesus did was much more extensive and
powerful than what Moses did. Jesus brought a whole new dimension and
added value to the lineage. You are supposed to do more than your
spiritual father! Even Jesus opened the door for us to do more when he
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,” (John 14:12). We are to do greater works than what
Jesus did!
Why Miracles of Judgment Skipped Jesus

“And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that
Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove
against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they
strove against the LORD: And the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what
169
time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a
sign,” (Numbers 26:9-10).
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved,” (John 3:17).
There were some differences because Jesus also had another

assignment on His life. Moses was very strong in the miracles of judgment,
but if you notice, that skipped Jesus. Quite a lot of people died in Moses’
ministry because of the miracles of judgment God did with him. All the
male firstborn of Egypt died on the night that the Passover lamb was killed.
A whole Egyptian army drowned in the Red Sea when Moses closed the
sea on them. Two hundred and fifty men of renown who joined with
Korah in his rebellion were swallowed up alive by the earth when they
attacked Moses. Many other people died because miracles of judgment
were very strong on Moses. Jesus, in this respect, was different as seen in
this passage in Luke:
“And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he
would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this,
they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from
heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked
them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son
of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went
to another village,” (Luke 9:53-56).
Jesus did not operate in the spirit of judgment because of His

purpose and assignment. It would have destroyed His purpose. So, when
some disciples tried to call down fire from heaven to burn up a village
because the Samaritan villagers did not want to host Jesus for the night,
Jesus rebuked them. Jesus told them, “Ye know not what manner of spirit
ye are of”. He told them He came to save lives not to destroy them. Jesus
came to save mankind from their sins not to destroy them. The Gospel of
John confirms this, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world”. Jesus did not release plagues like lice, frogs and hail on his
enemies the Pharisees, Sadducees and the religious leaders of his day.
When the religious leaders tried to get him to judge and punish sinners,
170
He defended the sinners. Concerning this contrast between Moses and

Jesus the bible says, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ,” (John 1:17).
I Have Given You My Ministry!

search of their fathers,” (Job 8:8).
When I began to study the former generation, as I was charged to

do in the year 2000 visitation with Smith Wigglesworth, the first person I
studied was Maria Woodworth-Etter. But now I have searched beyond
her. I have traced my lineage back to the bible and found that I am from
Moses' lineage. When my ex-wife was pregnant with our second child, we
did not know whether it would be a boy or girl.
The Lord came to me in a dream and said, “This child is a boy.

But you will not call him David. You will call him Joshua for I have given
you my ministry. His name will be a sign of your ministry. You will carry
my ministry.” The Lord said to me that because the name Joshua means
Jesus his name would be prophetic of the ministry that He had given me.
I did not understand the fullness of that until much later. But who was the
next son in line after Moses? Joshua.
Jesus said to me, "You have my ministry. That is why at the age
of thirty, things started happening for you, because you are from the same
lineage that I come from." The bible says, “And Jesus himself began to be
about thirty years of age,” (Luke 3:23). Right before I turned thirty years
old the Lord said to me, “When you get to thirty your real ministry will
start”. When I turned thirty years old, a young man in my ministry asked
me to marry him in my crusade. I had never married anyone before. When
I asked the Lord about this he said, “Do it.” And when the day came the
Lord visited me and said, “Now let me give you the revelation of this. At
the beginning of my ministry I was in a wedding.” Then he said, “You
could not have done a wedding until now.” And that wedding was an
amazing wedding. It was not the wedding people typically go to. The
drunken wine of the Holy Ghost manifested in this wedding with people
171
laughing and giggling and falling under the power. While all this was going
on, the Lord spoke suddenly to me, “I turned water into wine.” DNA
match! These are lineage similarities!
This confirmed the revelation of spiritual lineages to me and I

began to understand more concretely why Jesus said to me, “You have my
ministry”. I had a wedding at the age of thirty, the same age Jesus was
when he went to the wedding at Cana and turned water into wine! When
you understand what lineage you're from, you will better understand why
certain things happen in your life. I must know my whole lineage so I can
claim my entire inheritance. I want everything to manifest. If I'm going to
be greater and manifest greater, I have to know everything. I now
understand in more depth why God told Smith Wigglesworth to tell me to
study these people.
The Lord said to me, “David, Moses is your spiritual father. That
is why the Father is working with you openly on the earth.” When the
Lord taught me this, it broke me through to believe for ancient powers.
Now, I could believe what he showed me about the Father coming down
face to face. I could accept it because now I know it’s my inheritance. It is
part of the Mosaic Inheritance.
After Smith Wigglesworth gave me the first insight into spiritual

lineages and inheritance in Heaven in the year 2000, I began to put
everything together.
I began to say, “I am in the direct Mosaic lineage. I started saying,

“God came down to work with Moses in front of everybody.” I said to
myself, “I don’t have to do a forty day fast for this - this is my inheritance.
God will come down on earth and work with me openly!” That was when
I began to believe God to work with me as he worked with Moses face to
face on the earth. Moses said, “And they will tell it to the inhabitants of
this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that
thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them,
and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in
a pillar of fire by night,” (Numbers 14:14).
172
And the Lord confirmed this when he asked me, “David who is
the only prophet in the Old Testament to whom God came down on earth
in a cloud in front of people?” That was Moses. And who in the New
Testament had that happen to him? Jesus! Then the Lord said to me, “That
is why you are directly in the Moses lineage and not the Elijah Lineage.”
You see I am in the direct lineage of Moses and I am only connected to
the Elijah Lineage as a cross between. This is because the Elijah Lineage
is kindred to the Mosaic Lineage. I will give you more insight on cross
between lineages in the next chapter.
The revelation of Inheritance by Lineage broke me into this realm

of glory. As I continued to believe God, it happened! God started
manifesting face to face in the cloud over specific cities and nations He
would send me to. It started in the state of Washington in 2006. God the
Father appeared in front of everybody in a fiery rainbow cloud. The news
media got pictures of the appearance and interviewed me. And since then,
the appearances have gotten stronger and stronger and more powerful, like
the appearance of God in Canada. Someone got that on video and it has
had a powerful impact all over the world. I prophesied that appearance
before it happened, and the face of God came visibly in the clouds. It was
amazing! All this began to happen when I discovered my fathers. When I
discovered my lineage, I began to receive my spiritual inheritance. I now
had the platform to believe him to do these amazing things with me.
God began to work more powerfully with me as I became stronger

in this revelation. You see, once you come into this understanding God
can do more with you!
The Lord sent an angel to me and said to me, “I am moving Benny

Hinn out of America. I am calling you to occupy his place at the appointed
time because there are still many sick people in America. I am starting to
move him out of America. He will cut his crusades in America down and
start doing them more overseas.” I got this message right before Pastor
Benny Hinn started doing a lot of massive overseas crusades. He cut his
ministry in America in half to be able to do that. Because I know my
lineage, God is able to show me where I am going.
173
I know my destiny is to pray for the sick in this country and to

deliver America. The United States of America is my assignment. I have
now been given the National and Continental Crown to be a general in
this country. In 2001 when the Lord had me go to the Twin Towers in
New York to prophesy about the impending attack, I had a dream during
that period. In this dream I saw four stars on the ground.
In the dream the Lord said to me, “Pick up the four stars”. I picked
them up and then the Lord said, “You are a general now”. I knew by the
spirit that there was supposed to be a fifth star and I asked God about that.
And he said, “Yes there is a fifth star, but you will not get that until the
glory falls in St Louis.” Then I woke up from that dream.
Two days passed, and I was wondering what that dream meant.
Then a prophetess called me on the phone. I was in New York at that time.
She said, “Two nights ago I had a strange dream about you
David.” She said, “There was this old man from Heaven. He had a big
beard and he looked up to Heaven. You were standing in front of him.
And then he said, “Father I thank you that I have the Honor to do this.”
She said this man had a General cap in his hand and he put it on my head
and said, “General.”
She then saw people coming up and saluting me. She did not know
about the dream I had two nights before she called. That was a major sign
and prophetic confirmation to me - a second witness to establish what God
was doing in my life. I understood then why I had that dream about the
four stars. My forebears in my lineage were generals. Roberts Liardon
correctly called Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman, Aimee Simple
McPherson, and Maria Woodworth-Etter generals. This is because that is
what they were.
Many of you, as you receive this revelation of Inheritance by

Lineage, will be getting these kinds of dreams. Do not take your dreams
lightly. They are prophetic sign posts of where you are going and what
God is doing in your life. I am not being arrogant when I share these
dreams and visions with you, I just know who I am. When you know who
174
you are, then you can begin to manifest your identity. When others try to
discourage you from doing what God called you to do, you can explain to
them that you are just walking in your Inheritance by Lineage. That is
nothing to be ashamed of. Unlike John the Baptist, you can confidently
answer the question, “Who are thou?” Everywhere I go in America, I
know the Father will come down in the cloud because I am in the Mosaic
Lineage.
Now here is a brief summary of some of the DNA matches with

scripture references that show the divine connection of lineage between
Moses and Jesus:

The DNA of the Fathers and Sons: Crossing Between Lineages
CHAPTER 10
Crossing Between Lineages
God will Connect You to People with a Kindred Spirit to Take you to
Where You are Going
The people of John the Baptist's time were trying to figure out if
Jesus was the Messiah. They knew that a messenger was supposed to
come first and prepare them, but they didn't know how. They knew
someone was supposed to come before the Messiah because the bible says,
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before
me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even
the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come,
saith the LORD of hosts,” (Malachi 3:1).
In other words, John was coming as a forerunner and then the

Lord or the Messiah would suddenly come to His temple. Jesus came after
John, didn't He? The Lord gave me biblical backup and confirmation on
this. John the Baptist was setting order. He was preparing the way for Jesus
to come. In Matthew 17:10-12, the bible says, “And his disciples asked
him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And
Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore
all things.”
183
You see, it is so important that we observe God’s order of things.

John in the Lineage of Elijah had to come first before Jesus came. It is so
important that we have the ministry of Elijah to turn the heart of the fathers
to the children and the heart of the children to the fathers, otherwise God
will have to come and strike the earth with a curse (Malachi 4:5-6). Do
you not know that if Jesus came before John the Baptist, God would have
had to use Jesus to judge the world instead of blessing it? The world would
have been cursed if the ministry of John did not come first. God cannot do
certain things when things are not in order.
Now, watch this. John had to die so that Jesus might increase.
John said concerning Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” (John
3:30). Why? This is because Jesus was from the same lineage as John. If
Jesus were from another lineage, John would have never had to decrease.
God only allows one father per generation. You see, God allows one father
per lineage in a generation. John had to decrease off the scene so that Jesus
could rise. Jesus was from the same lineage as John, but John was His
uncle spiritually. Jesus is from John's lineage but not directly. Their
lineages crossed over. Let me share with you how Jesus explained this to
me.
The Lord began to say to me, “This is how lineage is set up. It
starts with Abraham at the top. But then it branches off into two main
lineages, the Mosaic and then the Elijah Lineage. The two biggest lineages
where everybody came from directly are the Mosaic Lineage and the
Elijah Lineage. Anybody who does ministry comes through one of those
direct lineages. Moses is the elder and superior brother of Elijah. Elijah is
the younger brother to Moses.” And so above the two main lineages is
Abraham, because the bible says in Romans that he is “the father of us
all.” This confirms what the Lord said to Abraham when he made
covenant with him, “As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and
thou shalt be a father of many nations,” (Genesis 17:4).
DNA MATCH: Crossing Between Lineages

Abraham is the main lineage, which breaks into two: the Mosaic
and the Elijah Lineages. Now you know that you can have your father’s
184
eyes but your uncle’s ears. That is why you see some people look like their
uncles or aunties. This is because lineage deals with everything in that line.
That is why John the Baptist and Jesus complemented each other’s
ministry because they were from the same lineage. Have you ever heard
some say, “we are kindred in spirit” or “we have a kindred spirit?” That is
also true spiritually. Jesus explained this to me.
He said, “In lineages there are cross-betweens.” In other words, you

can be related spiritually to another person in ministry.
You can be kindred to people spiritually and when that happens

they can understand what you are about. That is why Jesus and John the
Baptist were close in ministry. John and Jesus were kinsmen naturally, but
they were also cousins or kindred in spirit. That is why their ministries
complemented each other, and that is why God sent John before Jesus.
The Lord could flow in ministry right after John because they had the same
kindred type ministries. Jesus came to John to have him baptize Him to
fulfill all righteousness. John also had the divine assignment to announce
Jesus to the children of Israel. The bible says, “And looking upon Jesus as
he walked, he (John) saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36). John
became the transition point for Jesus to take over. Therefore, Jesus said,
“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of
God is preached, and every man presseth into it,” (Luke 16:16).
You see, the reason why some people do not understand your
ministry or the anointing that is on your life is because they are not in your
lineage. You do not have to let people who do not know about your lineage
mentor or coach you. They will misunderstand you and will even call you
a devil and tell you that what you are operating in is not of God. I have
seen a lot of ministers, apostles, and prophets doing amazing and great
things for God get discouraged from doing what God called them to do
because they listened to the wrong leaders. These leaders told them that
what they were doing was not of God. You must watch out for people who
do not complement your ministry. They will hinder you. You need to have
people in your life who are in the same lineage you are in or kindred to
you.
185
As the Lord was explaining all this to me I said, “Well, Moses was
your main lineage?” He said, “Yes.” Then he explained further. He said,
“When I fulfilled all righteousness I crossed over into the lineage of all the
kindreds and ancestors.” That is why Jesus told John the Baptist at the
River Jordan, “Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness,” (Matthew 3:15). So, Jesus’ lineage is a cross between the
lineage of Elijah and Moses and also a cross between John the Baptist and
Elijah. He drew on all the lineages and inherited from all the fathers in the
two lineages.
In Luke 24:44 Jesus said to His disciples, “These are the words
which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and
in the psalms, concerning me.” Jesus, in His ministry, amalgamated and
walked in the spiritual inheritance of all the fathers in the bible. He fulfilled
and perfected those lineages. He also recovered things lost in the lineages.
Whereas John the Baptist missed out on the spiritual inheritance of
miracles in his ministry, Jesus recovered everything lost in the Elijah
Lineage. That is why Jesus prolifically raised up the dead. Jesus was the
ultimate lineage cross between! That is why he had such a prolific and
extensive ministry which encompassed an amazing array of all the
inheritances God had deposited in all the lineages. God wants every
generation to do greater than the former generation. Jesus did greater than
both Moses and Elijah.
DNA MATCHES: Crossing Between Lineages

“And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with
him,” (Matthew 17:3).
PROOF! The Lord said these amazing words to me, “To prove to
you that Moses and Elijah were in my lineage together, who were the two
men who appeared to me on the Mount of Transfiguration to talk to me
about my ministry and my decease?” It was Moses and Elijah! Luke
records this event as follows; “And as he prayed, the fashion of his
countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And,
behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: Who
186
appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at

Jerusalem,” (Luke 9:29-30). Right here we see how Moses and Elijah were
kindred to Jesus’ ministry.
And the Lord said, “And that is why I had you in heaven talking
to Smith Wigglesworth and Kathryn Kuhlman because they are in your
lineage. They were talking to you in glory.” That is what we read about
in that passage in Luke. Moses and Elijah ‘appeared in glory’ and talked
with Jesus about the decease or the crucifixion that he should accomplish
in Jerusalem. That is why I am saying to you that if people are not in your
lineage, they cannot talk to you about your destiny. Smith Wigglesworth
represents the Elijah Lineage. He had an amazing grace to raise the dead
which is a major inheritance in the Elijah Lineage. Kathryn Kuhlman
represents the Moses Lineage. She walked in so much glory in her
ministry. Like Moses, she was known to glow when ministering and
tokens of the Father’s glory would manifest in her services, like strong
wind blowing and lightning.
In my lineage, I have been able to cross between the Moses and

Elijah ministries. That is why raising the dead is so strong in my ministry.
When I returned from the trip to heaven, raising the dead became more
pronounced in my ministry. I got that from the Elijah Lineage through me
meeting Smith Wigglesworth. But my direct lineage is that of Moses, and
that is why the glory is so strong on my life and ministry, and that is why
the father is working with me and appearing over cities and nations face
to face in the clouds and in the miracle crusades I hold.
DNA MATCH: Raising the Dead

“And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the
LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul
come into him again. And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the
soul of the child came into him again, and he revived,”
(1 Kings 17:21-22).
187
“The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel
preached to them,” (Matthew 11:5).
“And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still.
And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead
sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother,” (Luke
7:14-15).
And then Jesus said, “David, even though Moses is my spiritual

father in ministry, Elijah is like my uncle.” He said, “Have you ever
thought about how Moses never raised the dead? So where did I get the
raising of the dead from?”
I answered, “The Elijah Lineage.” The Lord affirmed this, “Yes I

got raising the dead from the side of the Elijah Lineage.” I had never seen
this before until the Lord taught me this. And when you think about it,
Moses killed quite a lot of people. But you never read about him raising
the dead. Only Elijah and Elisha who came after him raised the dead. So,
if John did not fulfill it Jesus did. This is because Jesus is also a cross
between John the Baptist and Elijah. Elijah was the lineage that was
kindred to Jesus, that is why John and Jesus were close and that is why
John’s ministry complemented Jesus’ ministry.
Whereas Elijah raised up only one person, Jesus raised up several

people from the dead. He raised up from the dead a young twelve-year
old girl, a young man, Lazarus, and several others. And to top it all off,
He went to hell after his crucifixion and took captivity captive. That
means that He went down to Hell and brought all those dead for years out
of the dead.
Matthew records that “… the graves were opened; and many

bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many,”
(Matthew 27:52-53).
Jesus took the raising of the dead to a whole different dimension

and realm of glory. Elijah and Elisha having raised the dead in their
188
ministry laid the foundation for Jesus to do all this. Jesus made great use
of that inheritance and leveraged it masterfully to raise up entire
generations from the dead! Now what can’t you do when you get to know
the spiritual inheritance you have in your lineage? Let me tell you - in your
spiritual lineage there is enough inheritance to turn the whole world upside
down!
DNA MATCH: Ascension

“And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both
asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw
it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his
own clothes, and rent them in two pieces,” (2 Kings 2:11-12).
“And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them,
and carried up into heaven,” (Luke 24:51).
“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken
up; and a cloud received him out of their sight,” (Acts 1:9).
Then Jesus said these words to me, “Who is the only prophet in
the Old Testament who was translated in front of people and went into
glory?” That was Elijah! Elijah was translated into heaven right in front of
Elisha. Then he asked me, “Who is the only prophet in the New Testament
who did it?” It was Jesus! Jesus rose off the ground and ascended into
heaven in the sight of at least five hundred people. You may say
“Well Jesus was lifted up and was received into heaven because he was
God.” That is not true. Elijah was a normal man who had the power of
God on his life and he got translated physically into Heaven. Daniel in his
night vision saw Jesus ascending as a son of man. “I saw in the night
visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of
heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near
before him,” (Daniel 7:13). Jesus did not ascend as the Son of God, he did
all of that as a Son of Man. He was walking in His spiritual inheritance. It
had been done through men before. It was the inheritance manifesting!
189
DNA MATCH: Water Miracles

“And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea
dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went
into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall
unto them on their right hand, and on their left,”
(Exodus 14:21-22).
“Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off
before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan,
the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial
unto the children of Israel forever,” (Joshua 4:7).
“And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the
waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went
over on dry ground. And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him,
and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and
when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and
Elisha went over,” (2 Kings 2:8,14).
“And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on
the sea,” (Matthew 14:25).
Do you see how Moses had power to split the sea and walk across
on dry land? We see in the passages above that Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha
also had this power. Since then, no one else but Jesus had done this. Jesus
brought this glory manifestation to another level. He didn't have to split
the water, He just walked on top of it. Who were the only powerful
apostles and prophets in the Old Testament that God moved water out of
the way so that they could walk across on dry ground? They were Moses,
Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha. Why is it that these were the only four who
performed these miracles with water? It is because they were from the same
lineage. You never hear about Nehemiah splitting the Red Sea. He was
building the wall. He was doing other things. Who had power to cross the
sea defying natural laws? Moses split the Red Sea. Joshua also split River
Jordan when Israel had to cross over in Canaan the Promised Land. Elijah
190
and Elisha also ripped open River Jordan when they struck the river with
Elijah’s mantle. The water split, and they walked through on dry ground.
First, the Elijah administration comes and then Jesus!
DNA MATCH: Turning Hearts

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the
great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the
fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I
come and smite the earth with a curse,” (Malachi 4:5-6).
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation,” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
As a cross-between, Jesus inherited from both Moses, His direct

father in lineage, and Elijah who was like his uncle in that lineage. Because
of this, Jesus had some of the traits of his uncle, Elijah. The core
assignment of the Elijah Lineage is to turn the heart of the fathers to the
children and the heart of the children to the fathers. Well, guess what,
Jesus did that for the whole world! His whole purpose for coming to the
earth was to turn God’s children back to the Father. That is why he came
to die to bring us back to the Father. Like his uncle, Elijah, Jesus reconciled
us all back to the Father through his death burial and resurrection. We are
no longer separated from God because of our sins. Jesus became sin for us
so that we could get in right standing with God. “Now therefore ye are no
more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God,” (Ephesians 2:19). Jesus has turned our heart back to
the Father. He had made peace with God for us through his blood. Now
we can boldly approach the throne of God without any condemnation!
Just as Elijah, on Mount Carmel, turned the heart of a whole nation back
to the Lord God of their fathers, Jesus reconciled the whole world back to
God the Father. DNA MATCH!
191
Some manifestations that John didn't have in his ministry,

manifested in Jesus’ ministry. The miracle ministry and the ministry of
being caught up after death. Who else had this? It was Elijah. What did
Moses have besides signs and wonders, miracles, and healings? He began
to shine when He came off the mountain. You can see that Jesus had more
of Moses’ ministry than of Elijah's ministry. Even though their lineages
crossed, you can tell what direct lineage Jesus was from. Moses' lineage
manifested more glory.
Overcoming Failures in the Lineage

Now, you must also understand that you are susceptible to the same
failures in the lineage you are from. When you know your lineage, you
can determine with great accuracy what failures you are weak or
susceptible to. This works both in the natural and in the spiritual. You
may see a father who is an alcoholic and you will notice that the son also
becomes alcoholic. Or, if there is a sickness in the family it will try to go
down to the children. You need to understand what lineage you are from,
so you can break those strongholds in the lineage, while you are also
inheriting the good things that come down through the lineage.
Offense in the Elijah Lineage

“But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and
sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might
die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not
better than my fathers,” (1 Kings 19:4).
“I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of
Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain
thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek
my life, to take it away,” (1 Kings 19:10).
If John the Baptist knew he was “that Elias,” he would never have
been offended at Jesus. This is because offense is the main ruling attack on
the Elijah lineage. Jesus called John a great prophet and the greatest of all
those born of women up to that point in time. However, John the Baptist
192
193
fell way short of his ministry even though he was used greatly because he
repeated the mistakes of his father. Those in the Elijah Lineage, especially
the prophets, get offended very easily. If you get easily offended, then there
is a strong possibility that you are in that lineage. You see, Elijah got
offended with God when he had to run away from Jezebel. He was so
upset he wanted to die. Forty days later, the Lord asked him why he had
come to Horeb and he answered wrong. He said, “I have been very jealous
for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy
covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the
sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away,”
(1 Kings 19:10).
God asked Elijah the same question again, “What doest thou here,
Elijah?” Elijah answered wrong again. God repeated that question
because Elijah got offended at God and complained about how the people
of Israel had forsaken the covenant and destroyed the altars. All of this
was right after Elijah had brought about a great revival in Israel. He was
coming from a major revival on Mount Carmel where the whole nation of
Israel had fallen on their knees and called on Jehovah after they saw Elijah
call down fire from heaven. But after Jezebel sent a messenger to threaten
Elijah with death, he was undone. He was now complaining.
God was done with Elijah at that point and basically told him, “I
have to start preparing to move you out of this office as a prophet and take
you home. Go lay your mantle on Elisha.” He told him to go and anoint
another person, Elisha to take over his ministry.
Who is the only prophet in the New Testament who got offended
at God? John the Baptist!
Jesus had to tell him, “Blessed is he who is not offended in me.”

This is because John was also attacked by the spirit of offense. This is
detailed in Matthew 11:2-6:
“Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should
come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go
and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind
194
receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the
deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached
to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me,”
(Matthew 11:2-6).
Offense is a very dangerous spirit. You see that John was attacked
by that same spirit of offense because he was in the same lineage. When
Herod threw John in prison for rebuking him about his wife, John got
discouraged after some time and actually got offended at Jesus. This is the
same person who had announced Jesus as the Son of God to the whole
world. John was now doubting what he prophesied over the Lord’s life.
And so just as Jezebel attacked Elijah and tried to kill him,

Herodias, Herod’s wife also tried to get John killed in prison. Herodias
eventually got John killed. The bible says, “For Herod himself had sent
forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake,
his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto
Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. Therefore
Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she
could not,” (Matthew 6:17-19). In the Elijah Lineage, the main attack is
offense - getting offended at the unholy things people are doing and at
God, too.
Marital Problems in the Mosaic Lineage

“Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he
had sent her back,” (Exodus 18:2).
“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian
woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
woman,” (Numbers 12:1).
“He came unto his own, and his own received him not,” (John 1:11).
In the Mosaic Lineage, the attack is different. The attack in the

Mosaic Lineage is in their love life. Moses’ first wife, Zipporah, separated
from Moses. Moses had to marry another wife in the middle of his
ministry. Miriam and Aaron, his sister and brother, confronted him over
195
that. God had to come down in a cloud to settle that controversy in

Numbers 12. He strongly rebuked Aaron and Miriam and struck Miriam
with leprosy for seven days for daring to come against Moses. In the
Mosaic Lineage, our love and marital life is particularly targeted by the
devil and sometimes it ends in divorce.
That is why I have a problem with these religious people today.

They behave exactly like Aaron and Miriam. They attack God’s servants
who are having issues in their marital life and want to ground them and
their ministry. I have seen huge ministries and powerful men and women
of God reduced to nothing over this very issue. Yet God said in his word,
“Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he
standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him
stand,” (Romans 14:4). You have no right to judge God’s servants. God is
able to make them stand even when you think they have fallen.
These religious people attacking preachers going through marital

problems and divorce need to be very careful with how they are treating
God’s servants. I always tell them to shut up just like God rebuked Aaron
and Miriam. If the religious camp is going to attack a preacher who is
going through divorce, then they might as well stop reading all the five
books Moses wrote because guess what, you are reading the writings of a
divorcee. I really do not understand why a church would abandon a man
or woman of God because they are going through a divorce. You do not
know what is really going on. It may be something in their lineage fighting
them. The devil fights those in the Mosaic lineage especially hard in this
area.
You see the fathers and mothers in my lineage line up struggling

in their love life. That is why Pastor Benny went through that attack on his
marriage and Kathryn Kuhlman went through the same thing. She had to
eventually walk away from her husband after seven years of marriage. She
struggled after that to get invitations to churches. Many leaders abandoned
her and would not allow her to minister in their churches. God had to step
in and intervene in her life to salvage and restore her ministry. And guess
what, when God restored her, he gave her more excellent majesty as he
196
did to Nebuchadnezzar after He restored him. Kathryn Kuhlman’s

ministry became much bigger than ever after the divorce she went through.
You must understand that the callings of God are without

repentance. When God calls you, he does not change his mind because
you go through a marital attack. Maria Woodworth- Etter, another
powerful general, also had a lot of problems with her first husband. Her
husband left her for a much younger woman and caused a lot of problems
for Maria. Aimee Simple McPherson, another powerful general, also had
a whole lot of problems in her love life. All of these generals struggled in
their love life, yet God used them powerfully. God did not abandon them
over the love problems they experienced, because God is faithful and true
to his servants, unlike his people who abandon his servants in the moment
of their trials.
Even Jesus struggled in that area. Yes, I know many will say,
“Well he wasn’t married.” Yes, he was married. That is why the word
says, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not,” (John 1:11).
So, God gave Israel a letter of divorce and gave Jesus another wife, the
Gentile Church. “Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's
divorcement, whom I have put away?” (Isaiah 50:1). This proves that these
religious churches who do not allow ministers going through divorce to
minister are totally wrong. They need to stop listening to Jesus and to
Jehovah because He divorced Israel. God and Jesus got a divorce and you
are the replacement! We are now the bride of Christ. That is why Paul,
when he taught on marriage said, “Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it,” (Ephesians 5:25).
Paul also told the Corinthian church, “For I am jealous over you with
godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present
you as a chaste virgin to Christ,” (2 Corinthians 11:2).
Now you must understand that I strongly believe in marriage. I

believe in staying in your marriage and not leaving your spouse because
you want somebody else. That is wicked and that is not what I am talking
about. I am talking about those who are being attacked by the enemy in
their marital life. I come from a family that believes strongly in marriage.
197
My father and mother have been married for 65 years and they are still
together!
I wanted to keep my marriage. However, ten years before my ex-

wife left me, Jesus appeared to a prophetess in a dream and said to her,
“Tell David I will have to give him a new wife in the future because his
current wife will leave him.”
We had only been married for four years. Do you think I wanted
to hear that? Jesus was in a white robe when he spoke to her. When the
prophetess woke out of that dream she told me. I asked my wife at that
time to come and sit down and hear the dream. She reacted to the dream
the same way Peter responded to Jesus when he warned him that he would
deny him three times. She rejected the possibility of the marriage failing
and promised to never leave. She believed our marriage was divinely
arranged. Ten years later she left. That is why you should never be
judgmental when people go through attacks in their marriage, you do not
know what is going on. Sometimes the things you suffer in life happen
because of what you are called to. It may be a problem in your lineage
fighting you. You have got to know your lineage and what you are going
to get attacked with. If I had known all of this, I could have stopped some
things, but because I did not learn it until later on in ministry, I missed
some things.
You have to know what is coming to be able to stop it. That is what
hurt me about the Carlton Pearson situation. If he had known his lineage
in the Azuza Street Revival, he would never have gotten off in his doctrine.
If you study the Azuza Street Revival with William Seymour, you will
notice that the main reason why the whole revival stopped is that Charles
Parham, who was William Seymour’s spiritual father, called him out on
what he was preaching about salvation. When Charles Parham heard
William Seymour preaching, that if you did anything wrong in the flesh
you lost your salvation, he tried to correct his teaching and bring more
balance by telling Seymour that God was more merciful. When Seymour
would not listen, Charles Parham condemned that revival and pulled
many of the followers out of the Azuza mission. The Azuza Revival never
recovered from that.
198
The Azuza Street Revival was a multi-cultural move that touched

the whole earth in three short years. Williams Seymour was a black
preacher and his spiritual father, Charles Parham, was a white preacher.
Carlton Pearson is also a black preacher and his spiritual father was Oral
Roberts. Carlton started doing the Azuza Street Revival and was just as
powerful with many different cultures coming to the revival. Carlton was
walking in the spiritual inheritance by lineage. He inherited what William
Seymour had on his life. Now if he had studied the weakness in the
lineage, he would never have fallen. William Seymour was very extreme
in his sanctification doctrine. He believed that if you acted up in your flesh
you lost your salvation. Carlton on the other hand, if you notice, went to
the other extreme end of that doctrine and taught the false gospel of
inclusion.
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple
pass on, and are punished,” (Proverbs 22:3).
You need to know who your spiritual fathers are, so you can
successfully counteract and shut down the attacks that are unique to your
lineage. If you are in the Mosaic Lineage, you will have to wage a good
fight to secure your marriage. Since you know this, you can prepare for it
and raise up hedges and bulwarks around your love life. God wants you
to know this so that your marriage will not end in a divorce. You can stop
it if you know your lineage. You need to understand that Satan hates these
lineages because of the spiritual inheritance laid upon them, so he
ferociously fights the Mosaic and Elijah Lineages with attacks customized
to capitalize on the weaknesses of each lineage. He attacks the Mosaic
Lineage in their love life and the Elijah Lineage primarily with offense.
Jesus knew all the weaknesses in the lineages He inherited on our

behalf. He was touched with all our infirmities, but He overcame them all.
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling
of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin,” (Hebrews 4:15). Now through Him and in Him we can also overcome
all the weaknesses and failures in our lineages. As Peter revealed,
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain by tradition from your fathers,”
199
(1 Peter 1:18). You have been redeemed from the negative things being
passed down your lineage through the fathers. And with the resurrection
power He now walks in we have complete victory!
Some think that if a father went through something that weakened

the lineage, it is then inevitable that the children will also go through that
weakness. That is not completely true. If that son knows about that
weakness or failure in the lineage, he can attack and overcome it. That is
why the bible says, “In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have
eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge,” (Jeremiah
31:29). God is through this revelation of Inheritance by Lineage putting a
permanent moratorium on all the weaknesses and failures in your lineage.
He is giving you the power to overcome through this revelation! “And ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” (John 8:32). But
if you do not know your spiritual fathers, how can you overcome? If you
do not know your lineage, you will not be prepared to fight and overcome
the failures in your lineage. Like John the Baptist, who got offended like
Elijah, his spiritual father, you will fall to the same failures of your father.
It is time for you to know who you are!

CHAPTER 11
“Who art thou? What Sayest Thou of Thyself?”
201
“The biggest crisis in the Church
today is an identity crisis.”
202
“Who Art Thou? What Sayest Thou of Thyself?”
CHAPTER 11
“Who art thou? What Sayest Thou of Thyself?”
The Biggest Crisis in the Church Today is an Identity Crisis
Who are You?

Do you believe that God has great things for you? I want you to
know that God has great and mighty things planned for your life. But, in
order for you to fulfill God’s purpose and his call on your life, you must
understand who you are. You must understand your identity. The whole
problem with the church today is that people do not know who they are
spiritually. People do not know what Jesus Christ died for them to become.
Your destiny is connected to the DNA of who you are, and when you
understand that, you will get a hold on the fullness of who you are. Today,
in our generation, we have too many weak ministers and preachers who
do not know their identity. This situation is worsened by them listening to
these lying theologians who are saying that apostles and prophets are over
with and that there are no miracles for today. That kind of teaching is
killing the church and is why there is very little power in manifestation to
transform our generation. It all boils down to a lack of understanding our
identity.
You must find out who you are. The biggest crisis in the church is
an identity crisis. Even preachers do not know who they are. When you
203
do not know who you are because you do not know your lineage, then you
do not know what should be passed down to you and you do not know
what you should be operating.
The Jews knew that any man or prophet who came on the scene
did not just come on the scene by themselves. They knew that anyone who
comes in the name of the Lord came through a lineup of other men. That
is how they would identify that man or woman of God. That is why they
sent messengers to John to find out what lineage he came out of, and as
we have studied in the earlier chapters, John could not give them the right
answer. He did not know his lineage and that limited what God could have
done through him.
“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?” (John 1:19).
“When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they
said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others,
Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye
that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed
art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto
thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That
thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it,” (Matthew 16:13-18).
Now, all that I have shared with you has led up to this question
you must answer: Who Art Thou? To answer the question, “who are
you?” you must know your lineage. You will need all the revelation in this
book to answer that question. This is the existential crisis the church faces
today. They do not know their identity. Do you not know that even to
receive from Jesus you have to know his identity? Peter was given the keys
to the kingdom when he, of all the apostles, was able to answer the
question Jesus asked, “But whom say ye that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Do
you know that is when Jesus established Peter as a rock? When you
204
discover your identity, you will receive keys to your destiny and you will
be established as a rock.
In ancient Jewish history, they knew that any prophet that comes
on the scene came from a lineage.
They did not just pop out on their own somewhere and say, “This
is my own ministry. This is my own anointing. I have paid the price to get
this. I got this on my own”.
No, they knew that you had to come through a lineup of men to
even come on the scene. The Hebrews understood this mystery and that is
why the Jews sent delegation to John to ask him about his identity. And
as I have shared with you, John could not answer that question.
Jesus told me, “David, John did not know who he was.” Many
still do not know who they are and cannot answer that question, “Who art
thou?” I believe you are now equipped through this revelation of the
Inheritance by Lineage to answer this question!
It is an identity crisis if you cannot answer this question, “Who are

you?” That is the one question you must answer in your lifetime. If you
cannot answer who you are in the bible, then you do not know who you
are and therefore will not fulfill your full ministry. That is why the Jews
asked John, “Who art thou? Are you that Elias?” and that is why Jesus
asked his disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” The question of identity
is very critical to you fulfilling your destiny in life. In this chapter I will
show you how to determine your identity by discovering your lineage.
To fully understand your destiny, you must understand that God

operates in three realms of Glory. These realms are called out by the four
beasts around the throne of God as “Lord God Almighty, which was, and
is and is to come.” That is the past, present, and future. You have to know
all three dimensions of God in your life. You must know what He was in
your past, that is, your lineage. You must also know what He is doing in
your life presently and what is to come. When you understand the
revelation in this book, you will know who you are. Your lineage tells you
who you are and the spiritual inheritance you are to walk in. You will
205
begin to understand what God is doing in your life and you will know what
God is bringing up in your life. Many of you reading this book are starving
spiritually and you are lacking many things because you do not know who
you are and where you are going. If you want to know where you are from
and where you are going keep reading.
Birthed into Your Lineage

God will connect you to those in your lineage to bring out more
what is already in you. When I got connected with Benny Hinn, who is
the first and foremost father of my lineage on the scene today, my healing
ministry blew up and grew explosively. My identity was pronounced. I
was birthed into my lineage. There is someone alive today who is already
in your lineage. Note this: you have to be connected to a father in your
lineage who is living for you to be connected further down to the fathers
of your fathers. God set this order in the foundational scripture for this
revelation of Inheritance by lineage in Job 8:8, “For enquire, I pray thee,
of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers.” You
also have to stay connected to where you are birthed from. Do you want
to know why some people are not birthed into their ministry and into their
destiny? They did not come through the birth canal. If you do not know
your lineage you cannot come through the canal. There are people already
in your lineage that you are supposed to find and connect with, so they
can birth you into the inheritance. Without that, you have no birth. You
are illegitimate.
That is why, if you notice, many ministries that break away from
their fathers hardly ever grow. Most of them stay small in storefronts for
decades. What happened? They cast their fruit before its time in the field
(Malachi 3:11). Have you ever seen an undeveloped peach? It is withered.
It never became a full-grown peach that is sweet and juicy. It fell on the
ground before it got ripe. That is why many have failed. You need to stay
on the spiritual family tree that God plugged you into. Do not be like those
branches that fall off and get withered.
Paul in Galatians 4 talks about you being under governors and

tutors until the time appointed by the Father. What does the Father have
206
for you at the time appointed? Your inheritance! “Now I say, That the heir,
as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord
of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the
father,” (Galatians 4:1-2). That is why you have to stay under the fathers
God puts in your life. The devil will try to get you to move out from under
those fathers, but you need to stay under them.
Now it is time for you to know who you are. When you know who
you are, then you can better understand your destiny and assignment in
life. Do you know why a lot of people do not know their destiny? And do
you know why many do not understand why God deals with them in
certain ways? It is because they do not know who their fathers are. Many
of your habits and ways come through inheritance. If you do not know the
inheritance that has been given to you, then God may be doing amazing
things in your life and you will not understand why it is happening.
There are so many orphaned spiritual children running around

because they do not know who their fathers are, and they do not know the
revelation I am about to share with you in this chapter. Many people think
God just does things in people’s life without any help or assistance from
anyone else. People think that they are an island to themselves. But you
must understand that everything God does is by inheritance and by
lineage. Inheritance is by lineage. In other words, when you find the
lineage you are from, you will find and understand your inheritance. If
you find what lineage you are from you will find riches. Your inheritance
is by lineage! That is why you need to know who you are connected to. If
you do not recognize lineage and inheritance, you can miss out on God’s
perfect will for your life.
Smith Wigglesworth Talks to Me about Fathers

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask
thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee,”
(Deuteronomy 32:7).
207
To find your identity, you have to find your fathers. You have to
find your family. Before I broke into this revelation, I would pray and cry
out to God for several hours each day.
I would say to God, “Where is the ancient glory the prophets of

old and Jesus walked in? Where is it Lord?” I would spend a lot of that
time just crying my eyes out and I would say, “Lord what is on the scene
today couldn’t be it.” We have to be grateful for the great men of God we
have on the scene and how God is using them. That is all wonderful, but
you have to understand that a lot of what they are doing are repeated
moves of God. For example, the church is still doing Azuza Street
Revivals and celebrating it as if that is the greatest move of God ever. But
that is so pathetic, it was just a revival of a lost move of God! We should
have been much further along and beyond what the early church
accomplished. We have backslidden and are doing much less than what
the early church did.
What we see on the scene today are just repeated moves. There is
no ancient foundational glory with the new things that God has promised.
I cannot accept that! I kept praying and crying out to God for the ancient
glory to be restored to us. Then I had that trip to Heaven to meet Smith
Wigglesworth and other saints in the glory. I shared early on some of the
things Smith Wigglesworth told me on that trip. But now I want to share
other revelations he gave me that will propel you into your identity.
He also said to me, “David, if you want this glory to come back on
the scene, then one of the first things you must do is study all the great men
and women of God, for in them is an inheritance that must begin before
you see the greater take place.”
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee,” (Exodus 20:12).
“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father,
where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the
LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name.
And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?”
208
(Malachi 1:6).
Smith Wigglesworth then also said to me, “David, one reason why
you do not see the glory that has been promised to your generation, that is
greater than anything that has ever taken place on earth, is because your
generation does not respect fathers.” This is in line with what God
promised: “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
former, saith the LORD of hosts,” (Haggai 2:9). We should be manifesting
greater glory than Moses, Elijah, and all the other saints! But we do not
see that, do we? So, Smith told me that our generation does not respect
fathers. You see, that is the problem right there because “… the glory of
children are their fathers,” (Proverbs 17:6).
If the inheritance of the riches of the glory is in the saints, then

there has to be honor in your heart for those saints. But, note this, if there
is no honor in you for the fathers living today, then how are you going to
honor their fathers? During this time in heaven, Smith began to talk to me
about how rebellious this generation has become and how they do not
submit to and honor fathers. God has given us our identity, but first, we
must identify with the fathers. Your heart has to be turned to the fathers.
You need to pray for and develop the heart of a child. When you
acquire the heart of a child, God will start connecting you to your fathers.
God always shows Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are
perfect. That means that if you develop the right kind of heart, God will
move for you in response to the kind of heart you have developed. So, ask
God for the heart of a child. When you have the heart of a child, you will
find your fathers and you will submit to their correction and government.
God will start visiting you and revealing to you the fathers in the lineup of
your lineage. Blessed are those who have the heart of a child, for they will
find their fathers!
This is the time for you to become qualified to be part of the last
move of God by honoring the fathers. And how do you honor fathers if
you do not even honor your natural father and mother, no matter what
they are wrong about? We want to walk in glory that is greater than Moses
but cannot honor our fathers?
209
Smith Wigglesworth continued talking with me, “Your

generation does not honor fathers and that is why God will not let that
glory come in your generation.” Then he looked at me and said, “But if
you do it God will bring it back. He will cross over the Old Testament
Glory with the New.” You see if God is going to do anything significant
on the earth, the hearts of the older generation and the younger generation
have to be turned to each other according to Malachi 4:5-6.
You have to understand, everything in the Old Testament was not

bad. When Jesus started his ministry, the first miracle He performed was
a glory miracle. He turned water into wine. That was not an anointing.
That was not a gift of the Holy Ghost in manifestation. It was glory! “This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth
his glory; and his disciples believed on him,” (John 2:11). Jesus manifested
Glory with his very first miracle! An anointing cannot change the
properties of water. Elijah and Moses did similar miracles. If Jesus came
in the New Testament with the same kind of power that the fathers
demonstrated in the Old Testament, then it was not supposed to be lost.
The first prerequisite is honoring fathers. The last move of God is hinged
on you understanding your inheritance and that is why you have to learn
your identity. Your identity is based on knowing and honoring your
fathers.
Identifying Your Lineage

Your identity is in one of the two lineages, the Mosaic and the
Elijah Lineage. You come from one of them. You must know which one.
My life and ministry exploded when I connected with the right father who
is in my lineage, Pastor Benny Hinn. I remember when I first read the book
Good Morning Holy Spirit when I was a teenager, and I saw that part
where he talks about how he was in Kathryn Kuhlman’s service and her
face began to shine like a light bulb. He saw it. I had only read it in the
bible when I first read it.
I said to myself, “There is somebody in the 21st Century walking

in that?” That really encouraged me! But you have to understand that she
210
came through the Mosaic lineage. Remember that the face of Moses began
to shine on Mount Sinai.
During a trip to heaven I had, Jesus said to me, “David the reason
I told you to call your ministry Joshua Media Ministries is because you
have my ministry on earth.” Then he echoed what Smith Wigglesworth
said to me, “Go and study all the fathers before you and whatever they
had you have that inheritance. You can go get it.” As I studied the fathers
I began to see how God came down on earth with Moses in a cloud. And
I went to the Lord in prayer and asked about that. The Lord said to me,
“That is yours. That should be happening today. You are in my direct
lineage, the Mosaic Lineage. This is the riches of glory that is yours. This
is the inheritance. If you want it you can bring it on the scene today in the
21st Century.” This is the revelation that pioneered me into the Face to
Face ministry, bringing God on the earth face to face over entire regions
in the clouds.
Once you find your fathers, you can determine your lineage and
then you can walk in the inheritance by that lineage. You do not just have
what Moses had. You have what Joshua, David, and everything else these
men got tracing all the way back. All that inheritance is yours. Once you
understand this, you will not just settle for the gift of the word of
knowledge. You settle for less when you are ignorant of your inheritance.
When I found out what my spiritual inheritance was, I went all the way
in.
I said, “God if I am in the Mosaic lineage I should have face to

face. I should have You coming down on earth.” And that is what has
started happening. I received my inheritance. I realized that I was not just
called to have what Kathryn had and what the ones in my lineage who are
living today have on their life. I could go all the way back into the Old
Testament and bring ancient glory! I was not limited in my thinking any
more.
When you receive your inheritance, and start walking in it, the
Lord will come to you and say, “Do you want it to be a thousand times
more than what your fathers walked in?” With thousands more, you will
211
manifest a new species of glory that has never manifested on earth before.
When you get that power, God will multiply it by a thousand and it will
develop into something that has never been seen before.
You must know who you are to have this. You must know your
identity, not just your anointing. Your anointing will limit you because
your anointing is just the job description of your identity - it is what you
do for God. Your anointing is not who you are, it is what you do. The
glory is who you ‘are’. And it is through the glory realm that you begin to
change nations. It is through this revelation of glory that the end time
army is going to rise up. From this day forward, all of you reading this
book are about to walk in the fullness of your identity and destiny. You
will not make the mistake John the Baptist made. You are not going to
walk in just half of your inheritance because of ignorance of your lineage.
You will walk in all of it.
Determining Who You Are

If you keep having dreams of raising the dead, you know what
lineage you are in. You are in the Elijah Lineage because raising the dead
happens in that lineage. That is why Elisha who came after Elijah also
raised the dead in his ministry. That is why Smith Wigglesworth is from
the Elijah Lineage. You know Elijah raised just one person, but Smith
raised at least twenty-three documented people from the dead. We can
always greatly increase from where the fathers left off!
If you keep having dreams of healing masses of people, then you

are in the Mosaic Lineage. Now we do know that Elisha who is from the
Elijah lineage also healed the sick but not as extensively as Moses. The
Elijah Lineage had miracles but not on a large scale. Moses and Jesus had
massive miracle ministries. Can you imagine three million people
following Moses and none of their shoes wore out? Three million miracles
right there.
If you are in the Mosaic Lineage, you should have unspeakable

power with water. It was passed down to you. You do not have to go on
212
an eighty day fast to get it, it was left for you. It has already been done and
the price has been paid for by your fathers. You’ve got to now walk in it.
If you are the kind of minister who needs worship before you flow
in the prophetic then you know you are from the Elijah Lineage. Elisha
would not prophesy until they brought him a minstrel to play. “But now
bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that
the hand of the LORD came upon him,” (2 Kings 3:15). So, when you
know all the details of how the fathers in your lineage ministered, you can
understand why you minister the way you do. You will not allow people
to tell you, “oh Jesus did not need any music to minister.” You just explain
to them that Jesus was not directly in Elijah Lineage.
The point is this: John the Baptist would have walked in mighty
signs and wonders if he knew his identity. He would have taken the
inheritance in the Elijah Lineage that Gabriel prophesied over his life and
shaken Israel to its core. The children of Israel would not have bothered
Jesus so much about getting a sign. Jesus could have taken off greater.
It is time for you to go in search of your fathers. What is your

family? What is your lineage? What spiritual inheritance has been laid up
for you in your lineage? Do you really want your destiny? You must
understand that you have just one lifetime to fulfill your destiny. The clock
is ticking, and time is passing. You are wasting time if you are answering
these questions. You are wasting time if you are not praying and seeking
God concerning who your fathers are. You are wasting time if you are
caught up and tied up with the business of life, family, and everything else.
That is why Jesus said, “He also that received seed among the thorns is he
that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful,” (Matthew 13:22). If
you do not prepare your heart for the search of your fathers, you will be
unfruitful in life.
Paying the Price to Find Your Lineage
213
Your relatives and your family will try to pull you away from
where you know your destiny is. This is because your family may have
different spiritual family lineages from you. You’ve got to know where
you are from.
They may say to you, “Well we do not go to that church.”
Well you tell them, “I am not from your lineage.” This is not
about natural birth. “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out
of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a
land that I will shew thee,” (Genesis 12:1). Abraham had to move away
from three different things: his country; his kindred; and finally, his
father’s house. Land also denotes inheritance. You have to do the same to
access your Inheritance by Lineage.
You have to give up everything for this. That is why I know who I
am. I had to give up everything for this. I even gave up my culture to get
the culture of the Kingdom of God. I no longer have an American spirit.
God dismantled all that out of me. That is why he can send me to different
nations with different races and languages and peoples. When you lose
your life, you will gain it! You’ve got to pay the price. I will share more on
the price of prayer that you have to pray to access your lineage. God is
about to raise up men and women who will be greater than Moses, Elijah,
and Elisha. These men and women will be greater than Kathryn Kuhlman,
Maria Woodworth-Etter, John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, A. A.
Allen, and all the other great generals. You are not in competition with
them because in God’s order of things sons and daughters should go
further than their fathers. God wants you to be multiplied a thousand times
more than your fathers and even more.
As you receive this revelation, the only people God will allow you
to meet in your destiny are those who are in your lineage or kindred in
spirit. The more you get connected to the wrong people you waste precious
time. I have seen many young men and women of God lose the anointing
on their life when they spent too much time around the wrong people who
were carnal and had no appetite for the things of God. These people killed
everything God birthed in these young preachers.
214
As you discover who you are, you will understand why you feel
the way you feel. You are feeling the way you are feeling because of your
call. Do you feel like you want to heal a whole hospital? You are very
likely in the Mosaic Lineage. Do you have dreams of calling down fire
from heaven? Then you are in the Elijah Lineage. That lineage is very
strong in exercising dominion and mastery over the fire element. Have you
been seeing some of the fathers in your dreams? God is showing you the
fathers in your lineage lineup. This is how you discover who you are and
why you feel the way you do. You feel that way because of who you are.
If you hung around Christians who are dead heads, that is, those who do
not want anything from God, then you will settle for less. You will settle
for the mediocre and you will amount to nothing in the Kingdom of God.
That is why you see great men with big names today on the scene who
preach great messages, but they have lost not only the spirit but also the
power of the fathers. If you read the bible, every prophet, man or woman,
that God raised up had power.
Dreams and Visions of Destiny

Now, as you begin to ask for the fathers and go on a quest to search
for them, God will start giving you dreams, visions, and visitations of
destiny. I received the concept of the Father coming down to the earth
from a dream that a little boy had. The little boy told me that in his dream
he had a trip to heaven and while he was in heaven he was taken to the
throne room. I asked him whether or not he saw the Father. He said that
was the message. The Father was not there, He had gone down to the
earth. Then he said the Lord opened a portal and he saw the earth through
that portal, and it looked like all the earth had emptied out to go to St.
Louis, Missouri to see the glory of God. Now after receiving the
Inheritance by Lineage revelation, it all made sense. I began to say to
myself, “This is not new, it’s part of my lineage. Face to face with God
and Jesus is part of the lineage.” God coming down physically on earth to
talk to human beings is in the lineage. I began to expect it and it happened!
When that began to happen I also began to walk in other realms of powers
that I didn’t feel like I had to pay the price for.
215
Now that is inheritance! I am just to ask for it and receive it. God
began to use me in extraordinary ways. God gave me great powers to
control time, to lengthen and to shorten it, like Joshua did and like Jesus
said He has to do to save the elect. “And except that the Lord had
shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days,” (Mark 13:20). Several
times I was late to the airport and I suspended time long enough for me to
get to the airport on time and get on the plane. My staff members have
seen me do this. I have power over time because it is in my lineage. Jesus
and Joshua walked in this great power. Joshua lengthened time, Jesus
shortened time. I received it by inheritance. When you know your lineage,
you know the riches of the glory of the inheritance that belongs to you.
You understand that God can use you in extraordinary ways!
I could hyper jump whole rooms and thousands of people and

sicknesses to the heavens and the sicknesses would be moved out of them.
Everyone was healed. Jesus did the same thing. When he was in
Capernaum, the reason that there were so many people healed there is
because he had hyper jumped that whole city to heaven. When they would
not repent after all that He did there, He condemned the whole city to fall
to hell. He then said, “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto
heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have
been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until
this day,” (Matthew 11:23). The whole city and everyone who traveled to
Capernaum were hyper jumped into heaven - “exalted to heaven!” It is in
my lineage and I have received that inheritance in my own ministry. That
is why so many get healed in the ‘Miracles in America’ crusades I hold
around the country.
I also began to experience translations. I would disappear and be

in other places. Jesus walked in this. We know that Jesus walked on water
to the disciples and they were all then transported to the shore in an instant.
The bible says, “Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
immediately the ship was at the land whither they went,” (John 6:21). You
see this? Jesus walked on the water to the boat and when he got in the boat
immediately the whole boat with the twelve disciples in it was transported
to the other side! Jesus was a transporter. Philip was also translated bodily
216
from one place to another city. If you do not believe in translation, then
you might as well stop believing in salvation because you had to be
translated to be saved. According to Colossians 1:13, you were translated
when you were saved, “Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son,”
(Colossians 1:13).
I will never forget one day when I was doing a shut-in at a church.
I had been there for about 8 months. I shut down my ministry and stopped
doing everything else to do the shut-in. For about 8 months, I stayed in
there crying out for answers. I was prepared to die.
In fact, I told God, “I will die here if I have to. But I am not leaving
this place until I get the answers I am looking for.”
And Jesus came to me. He walked right through the wall and said
to me, “I want you to go with me right now.” I got off my little blow up
mattress that I was lying on. When I got up the Lord said, “Come with me
to Las Vegas.” That’s what he said and then immediately we were in Las
Vegas. That was the first time anything on that level ever happened to me.
Immediately we were in this pastor’s house. I had preached in his

church before. He is a wonderful father in the Church and a Hispanic
pastor from Guatemala. He has a nice church in Las Vegas. I was in his
room with Jesus.
The pastor was sleeping in his bed, and Jesus went to the top of the
pastor then He said to me, “Get his legs.” I grabbed the legs and the Lord
pulled his shoulder. After we did that the Lord said, “Come we need to go
somewhere else.” And then immediately we were at this young lady’s
house. I did not know that this lady was a member of the pastor’s church.
I found that out later. Jesus had me stand at the foot of the bed and He
went up and laid His hands on her and then He came back to me and
immediately there was a swoosh sound and we were back in Michigan
inside the church.
Then the Lord looked at me and said, “I will return to you and
give you the answers you are looking for. But there are three things I want
217
you to tell three people on the earth.” One of them was Sid Roth. This
wonderful man of God is like a father to me. I love him very much. I have
known him for many years and been on his show. Even before this
happened, God would give me dreams about him and I would go and tell
him.
He told me, “David you are the most accurate prophet I know in
dreams. Every dream you have had about me comes to pass.”
And in this visitation the Lord said to me, “One of the things I
want you to tell Sid is that he has not been reaching the Jews.” I thought
he was since he is a Jew, but he wasn’t. Jesus said to me, “Tell him I want
you to use the Keys of the Kingdom to open up the Jewish nations to him.
He’s going to reach the Jews now. You tell him this.”
Why am I sharing all this with you? I want you to understand that
when you get to know who you are, you will walk in unspeakable power
and glory. You must, however, first find out who you are by finding your
fathers and their fathers. That is how you determine your lineage, whether
you are in the Mosaic or Elijah Lineage. Then, all the inheritance stored
up in that lineage becomes available to you! That is exactly what happened
to me.
So, the next day I called Sid Roth and I gave him the message.
He said to me after he received the message, “David, what Jesus

told you is true.” He said among other things, “For fifty years I have been
trying to get a certain Jewish email list.” Sid told me that until you get that
list you cannot reach the Jewish Community. He told me how he had been
fighting to get that mailing list for five decades. He said to me, “What Jesus
told you is true”. The very next day he called me back. He had just received
the mailing list, and that is when his ministry exploded on the scene. He
also said to me on this call, “I feel like God is telling me to do TV and I
don’t have the money.”
I said to him, “The Lord wants me to use the Keys of the Kingdom
to loose millions on you.” And I did, and soon after that someone came to
218
him and gave him millions and millions of dollars in gold bullions! That is
what happened.
The next day after Jesus left, my office called me.
My staff said to me, “A pastor called from Las Vegas. He said last
night he saw you and Jesus in a dream. He said he had been having trouble
in his back and he said that in the dream, Jesus went to his shoulder and
you went to the legs and you both pulled his body and that thing in his
back just left. He says he woke up completely healed.” And later that week
that church member called him and said she had a dream and she saw me
and Jesus in the dream. She had a deadly disease. She saw me standing at
the foot of the bed. She saw Jesus put his hands on her. Later, she went to
the hospital and that disease was no longer in her body. She was not going
to die. That is what happened when Jesus translated and transported me
bodily to other places. This may sound strange, but these are the kinds of
powers in the bible that the church has to walk in. Once we discover our
true identity, we will be doing this and so much more!
Angelic Visitations
“And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right
side of the altar of incense.”
“But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is
heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his
name John.”
“And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the
presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these
glad tidings,” (Luke 1:11,13,19).
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city
of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary,”
(Luke 1:26-27).
219
“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is
of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his
name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins,” (Matthew
1:20-21).
Now as you begin to ask for the fathers and go on a quest to search
your fathers, God will start giving you dreams of destiny. He will also start
sending you angels in the physical realm and in dreams and visions. If you
notice, several times in the bible God sent angels to announce the birth,
identity, and destiny of some of those men that He used in a special way.
In Luke 1, we see the Archangel Gabriel sent first to Zechariah and then
to Mary. Gabriel announced to Zechariah that he would have a baby boy
that he should name “John.” He also told Zechariah the lineage that John
would come in. He told him, “And he shall go before him in the spirit and
power of Elias (Elijah)” (Luke 1:17). Somehow, somebody dropped the
ball and John was never told this and he did not know to ask “… yet ye
have not, because ye ask not,” (James 4:2). Nevertheless, you can see how
this angelic visitation revealed that Elijah was John’s spiritual father. John
was in the Elijah Lineage! That was his identity and destiny. If he knew
this, he could have walked in the spiritual inheritance laid up in that
lineage.
Gabriel also appeared to Mary and announced the miracle birth of

Jesus Christ to her. He explained to Mary how this would take place, that
the power of the Highest, the Holy Ghost, would overshadow her and then
she will conceive in her womb. An angel also appeared to Joseph and told
him not to be afraid to marry Mary. Both parents of Jesus and John
received angelic visitations concerning the identity, name, and destiny of
those children. If God revealed the identities of John and Jesus through
angelic visitations, don’t you think he will do the same for you? He will!
I have had angels come up to me to tell me about my destiny.

These angels are really powerful. They are very formal, and they do not
crack a smile. These angels, when they come to me, are very businesslike
and focused on their mission. They are like those soldiers in the Queen’s
220
Palace in London, very stoic. They give their message and walk away. One
angel who came to me had power with the wind and he demonstrated it
to me. One angel came to me to let me know that the Latter Rain Glory
Move of God would start in St Louis. That was after the Lord had me
relocate from Memphis, Tennessee to St. Louis. He told me the move will
start in St. Louis and last for seven to eight full years and before spreading
all over the world. At this point in time, my prophetic office was not widely
recognized. But after I announced this message in St. Louis, the late
Kenneth Hagin also received the same revelation that St. Louis will be the
center of the Last Day Glory Move of God. When people heard that, they
began to pay attention to what God was saying through me.
Another angel came to me while I was on a fast and simply told

me, “God says to tell you that he will use you to shake America.” Then he
turned and started walking away. Now that disturbed me because I had
been having dreams and visions of me ministering all over the world.
Before the angel could leave I asked him, “But what about the
nations of the world”?
The angel paused, turned, and then said, “Yes you will shake the
nations, some, but your main assignment is to America.” Then he left.
You see many think these kinds of appearances have stopped but I must
tell you, that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He does not
change. If He was a God to our fathers, then He will also be a God to you
and will do in your life what He did for the fathers and so much more.
In the Bible, you see several times angels coming up to the saints
to reveal their destiny to them. An angel came to Gideon and empowered
him to defeat the Midianites. Jesus may come to you Himself or He may
send angels to give you messages about your destiny. He uses them to
communicate messages to you. He did it in the bible and he still does
today. It was an angel that appeared to Manoah’s wife to reveal the
identity and destiny of the child she was going to have. That child was
Samson.
Angels appeared to these saints physically and in dreams to speak

to them about the destiny of their children. As you read this revelation, I
221
am decreeing over your life that you will have these kinds of visitations!
You need angels to come to talk to you in dreams. And from this moment
forward God will send angels into your dreams to talk to you about your
identity and your destiny.

Lineage.”
228
Discovering Your Inheritance & Lineage Through Prayer
CHAPTER 12
Discovering Your Inheritance & Lineage
Through Prayer
Prayer is the Key to Accessing Your Spiritual Inheritance
by Lineage
“For Enquire, I Pray Thee, of the Former Age”

“Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty
power,” (Ephesians 1:16-19).
Now I must share with you a powerful key to access your lineage and your
inheritance: prayer! Prayer is the key to accessing your inheritance by
lineage. The riches of the glory of your inheritance are just a prayer away.
This is why Paul prayed that powerful prayer in Ephesians 1:16-19. Paul,
in his prayers, asked God to release the spirit of wisdom and the revelation
in the knowledge of Him upon the church. When the church receives this
229
grace, the eyes of their understanding will be enlightened to know three

different things:
1. The Hope of Your Calling (this is where your destiny is revealed)
2. The Riches of the Glory of Your Inheritance in the Saints
3. The Exceeding Greatness of God’s Power Available for You
You see, if you do not get the spirit of wisdom and revelation, you will
not even begin to understand what I am sharing here. Your eyes of
understanding have to be enlightened to hear and understand what is being
said. There are riches of the glory of the inheritance in the saints! This is a
place in God where you do not have to go from one realm of glory to
another and then to another. When you get this inheritance, you enter the
riches immediately! You really have no idea how amazing and incredible
this is, but this comes through the inheritance in the saints. We first have
to get to the inheritance.
Finding the Hope of Your Calling

The hope of your calling, or destiny, is wrapped up in the
inheritance of the saints who have died and those who are still living.
Many in the church think that their gift is their calling. No, it is not. Those
are two different things. That is why the bible says, “For the gifts and
calling of God are without repentance,” (Romans 11:29). There are gifts
and there are callings. Gifts can manifest before the real calling and that
throws a lot of people off. Listen, when you get out of the gift, you will
find your calling and assignment in life. Jesus had great gifts and abilities,
but the call on his life was not just to heal the sick or call out names
prophetically. His assignment and calling in life was to go to the cross and
die for us to win us back to the Father. To find your call, you’ve got to
first find your spiritual father and trace the fathers in the lineup of your
lineage all the way back to the Old Testament to capture the full weight
and breadth of the call.
When I started to learn who my spiritual fathers were, it changed

my life. When you find your spiritual father there is a connection, a DNA
230
match, between you and that person. A complete match. It is truly a match
made in heaven! Most people have not fulfilled God’s will for their life
because they have not found their match; they have not found their
spiritual fathers. For example, I love Pastor Joel Osteen, but he is not my
spiritual father. I loved John Osteen, his father, but he was not my spiritual
father. Their ministry is awesome and a great blessing, but it does not do
anything for me. I get blessed by the word of God, but just because they
preach the word does not mean there is a connection between me and
them. That is my point. It is when you find this divine connection that
your destiny can launch.
Most believers in churches, when they get disgruntled with where

God put them, forfeit their calling by going to another church. They go to
another church and use their gift, but they miss their whole calling in life,
because only your spiritual father can shoot you into your destiny. Only a
father can identify your assignment. Only a father can name you and speak
destiny into your life. That is the proper protocol in the spiritual realm. It
was therefore when I connected with Pastor Benny that things really
started in my ministry. God was already doing amazing things in my life,
Jesus was appearing to me face to face and using me powerfully, but it was
when I connected with Pastor Benny that the full force of my destiny was
unleashed. Something profound happened to me, and then when he
started talking about Kathryn Kuhlman, something changed in my life.
My ministry immediately took off and grew astronomically. As I read and
studied his books, I was catapulted to greater realms of power and glory,
even though I did not even know him personally. We had never met. I
just connected with him when someone gave me his fantastic book, Good
Morning, Holy Spirit. That was the hook that connected me to my spiritual
lineage.
When you connect to a spiritual father, something happens to you

spiritually. You are birthed into your lineage! They can feed you like
nobody else can. They hit areas in your life that nobody else can. They
have a deposit, a DNA deposit, that belongs to you. When you find your
father, you know the inheritance that is left to you. That inheritance
matches your call and your identity. It gives you the wealth and the
money, the spiritual wealth laid up for you in that lineage. Knowing the
231
hope of your calling is so important. When you find your calling and your
destiny, you will discover that there is an inheritance and wealth there.
I pray for you, that your eyes be enlightened to know the riches of
the glory of your inheritance in the saints. You see that Paul mentions the
phrase “inheritance in the saints?” He is talking about the Inheritance by
Lineage. There is rich glory in the inheritance. The inheritance is your
bridge to the realm of ancient glory. You must understand that all the men
and women from Moses to Elijah, all the way up to Jesus and the apostles,
and also all the way up to today have left you riches of the glory. How do
you access the riches of this glory? Jesus gives a clue in Revelation 3:18, “I
counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich.”
That means that there is a price to pay to access the glory or the riches of
the glory in the inheritance. The price is to simply ask.
Glory Transforms You into Your Identity

Your identity is embedded in the glory realm. You must
understand that God does not just want you to be an anointed or gifted
person, He wants us to be a glorious people. Jesus is coming back for a
glorious church not just an anointed or gifted church. He is not coming
back for anything less than a people full of glory. When you start dealing
with glory, you start dealing directly with God. You do not just have an
anointing to preach or some gift that you can manipulate or manipulate
people with. You cannot manipulate glory because that is God himself.
He is not going to let you do that. You are destined to be a carrier of the
glory.
It is very important for you to understand this so that you can

understand who you are. You see, the church and people of God are
fixated on anointing and not on glory, which is why there is such an
identity crisis in the church. God is looking for new kings who are ready
to carry glory. Kings do not look for anointing, anointing looks for them.
That is why Samuel was sent to find David and anoint him to be king.
Elisha also sent a young prophet with a box of anointing oil to anoint Jehu
to be King. When you come into your kingship, anointing will look for
and find you! Kings, in turn, search for glory! That is why the bible says,
232
“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour (Glory) of kings
is to search out a matter,” (Proverbs 25:2). True kings look for glory!
In your kingship I want to teach you how to find this glory. I want
to show you how this Inheritance by Lineage revelation gives you
immediate access to dimensions of glory that you would have otherwise
taken entire lifetimes to break into. You know Moses did not have to go
through a seven-week Supernatural School of Training on how to stretch
his rod and split the Red Sea. He could do that effortlessly because he did
that miracle out of the glory realm, working directly with God the Father.
Today we have all kinds of supernatural classes training people on “seven
steps to heal backs,” “seven steps to do this and that.” I think some of
these supernatural training classes we hold today in the church are not
even biblical. Moses did not need all that. How is it that this man who kept
sheep, gets just one visitation from God and immediately he receives
dominion to control nature? He did not need to go through seven steps of
training. That is glory!
In the anointing or power realm, you have to study what to do.

Anointing gives you the grace to do something. You see what the
anointing did in the life of Jesus. The anointing enabled Jesus to do certain
things. That is why Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to
heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord,” (Luke 4:18-19). The anointing
enabled Jesus to preach, heal, and deliver.
The glory is different. The glory is not about what you do, it is
about who you are or who you “be.” When you get into the glory realm,
it transforms you and transfers you into your identity. You become what
you are. The moment Moses had an encounter with God at the burning
bush, he became what he saw. He was transformed from glory to glory.
The glory transforms you to be, not to do, and when you enter the
dimension of ‘being,’ supernatural things just start happening. You do not
even need a class on it, you just come into that existence and identity.
When you discover your identity, you will walk in unspeakable glory. You
233
will not just walk in different types of anointing, you will have glory
abilities. God is raising up an army of people walking in amazing glory
abilities. Time travelers, divine emperors who have dominion over the five
elements, movers, shakers, translators, ascenders, descenders,
transformers or shape shifters, teleporters, hyper jumpers, multipliers, and
so on. This revelation of Inheritance by Lineage is what pioneers and
bridges you into glory.
The Riches of the Glory of His Inheritance in the Saints

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know
inheritance in the saints,” (Ephesians 1:18).
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be

partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,” (Colossians 1:12).
Paul talks about the riches of glory. When you understand that
your fathers have left you an inheritance in the spiritual realm, then you
can become wealthy instantly. You do not have to grow from one level of
glory to another level of glory. You see, the bible talks about going from
glory to glory. This is the thing, if I have to work hard all my life I can get
wealthy that way and grow through all those levels. But then Paul reveals
by the spirit, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints! In other
words, you do not have to go from glory to glory. If you get an inheritance,
you get the riches of the glory. All the riches and wealth you would have
had to work hard for years to acquire, you get instantly when you receive
this inheritance! An inheritance accelerates you past all those realms of
glory. The Inheritance in the Saints speeds and catches you up into the
riches of the glory. The moment I understood this revelation, I
immediately began coming into amazing realms of glory in my
inheritance.
You see, the levels of glory manifesting in the church today are too
poor and too low. That is why Jesus rebuked the Church at Laodicea,
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need
of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and
234
poor, and blind, and naked,” (Revelation 3:17). You can be rich naturally
and impoverished spiritually. The Church is wallowing in very low levels
of glory. The levels of glory we have on the scene today are extremely poor
compared to what the ancients walked in and compared to what is
available to us now. Many saints are slowly working their way through the
levels of glory. God gave me this revelation of Inheritance by Lineage to
bypass all that drudgery and hard work. He showed me how this revelation
will bypass having to go from glory to glory. The revelation is simply: get
the Inheritance of the saints and you will get the riches of it!
The Lord Jesus came to me and said, “David, there is an

inheritance in the saints, the fathers. Not just naturally but spiritually. Just
like you get an inheritance from your father and something is passed down
to you, you get that in the spirit too.” There is an inheritance in the saints,
in the spiritual realm. The only way you will know the hope of your calling
or what your assignment is on earth, is by knowing the inheritance that is
in the saints or in the fathers. That is how you can answer the question,
“Who are You?” Your inheritance is under spiritual fathers. Proverbs
19:14 reveals that fathers have riches and houses to give you. And in
Proverbs 13:22, you will also notice that this inheritance is multi-
generational. A good father is supposed to leave an inheritance for his
children’s children. Your fathers have laid up inheritance for you that you
need to go for.
So, my father may have had to work hard all his life going from
glory to glory to get to where he is and to leave a rich inheritance for me.
When I get that inheritance, I get into riches immediately. That is what
Paul was talking about when he said in Ephesians 1:18, “that ye may know
what is the … riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” And that
is also what he calls “the inheritance of the saints in light.” Light is
connected to glory. The saints in the light are in glory and they have an
inheritance for you. Moses, for forty years, paid the price to walk in heavy
glory. Now I can come into what he worked so hard for many years to
acquire. The Lord told me that I have what Moses had. I came into that
inheritance through this revelation and this is why and how I am having
God the Father working with me directly all over the world. This is why
the face of God is showing up in the clouds wherever I go. That is a glory
235
Moses acquired within his life. I acquired that glorious inheritance when I
plugged into my lineage!
Once you find your lineage you will never have an identity crisis.
You will know who you are, what you are to do, and, also, what spiritual
wealth has been laid up for you to help you fulfill the hope of your calling
and destiny. When you know who your fathers are, you will know how
God wants to use you. Now you need to go and study your lineage to
discover what your inheritance is in the saints. That is where the riches
are. That is where the glory is. That is what I prayed for. I asked God,
“where are the riches of the glory that You promised our generation?” If
you love the inheritance of the fathers, you can get it instantly.
Why do you have to go and work out what your father has already
accomplished when you can start from the level that he left off? We are
reinventing the wheel in the church. Why start there when they have left
us so much? Listen, there is a level of glory you should not have to pay the
price for. What is that? The former glory. All that the fathers walked in,
you can have because they have already paid the price for it. You see
Moses fasted forty days on three different occasions for certain things. The
second forty day fast he did, he came down from the mountain with glory!
He is my father. I am in his lineage. I do not have to fast forty days for
that. That is why my face was glowing very early on in my ministry.
You do not have to work for an inheritance. It has been left for
you, and in humility and grace you receive it. That is why the bible says,
“he giveth grace to the humble.” You do not have to be arrogant and think
you have to work for the inheritance. That is what the church likes.
“Work hard! We have to pay the price,” they say. Yes, we have to
pay the price for a lot of things that we need in our walk with God, but we
do not have to pay the price for everything. Some things are given to you
freely because of inheritance and because you are, in essence, an heir! As
an heir of salvation, you did not have to pay the price for salvation. Jesus
already did. You do not have to pay the price for the exousia kingdom
power to cast out devils and heal the sick. Jesus gave that to you freely the
moment you received him! You do not have to go through all the levels of
236
glory to get to the riches of the glory. You already have that in the
Inheritance.
The fathers have left you riches of glory. You are supposed to come
on the scene and start off with that, that is how God can then do the new
things he has never done. How is he going to do that if he has nothing to
multiply it by? The Lord wants to make you a thousand times more than
your fathers. Now you know what one thousand times zero is, right? Zero!
How are you going to be more and do the greater works if you’re starting
with zero? You have to start with something to multiply by. When the
Bible says, “your beginning may seem small,” it is really saying,
“compared to what you should be able to do with the riches of the glory
you inherited, what your fathers did will seem really small.”
That is why Jesus was able to exceed and eclipse all that His
spiritual father, Moses, did. He walked in the inheritance and took it to
the next level. You have to start with the foundation the fathers laid and
multiply it. That is how you become a thousand times more. When you
become a thousand times more, you develop into a whole new species, a
whole new creation. That is exactly what Jesus did, “Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new,” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That is where the “new”
will come in! We must honor and connect to those who have gone on
before us.
The Glory of His Inheritance in the Saints

inheritance in the saints,” (Ephesians 1:18).
The Lord said to me when He gave me the revelation, “Everyone

who has a destiny comes through a lineage.” As the bible says, “Howbeit
that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual,” (1 Corinthians 15:46). Everybody who came to the
earth had to come through a family lineage. You could not come to the
earth and you do not exist if you did not come through a father and a

mother. You would be illegal if you came here any other way. Anybody
who is here on the earth came through a father and a mother. Everything
God does in our life is by lineage and by inheritance, and if you do not
know this major truth you will miss what God has planned for you.
Paul mentioned inheritance a lot in his letters, and this passage in

Ephesians is a key scripture to help you understand this mystery of
Inheritance by Lineage. The early church spoke about the Inheritance by
Lineage a lot because they understood this mystery, but the Church has
since lost this mystery. Ephesians 1:18 says, “The eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.”
Do you see this? You have an inheritance, and that inheritance is

in the saints. You have an inheritance in a lineage in the church
somewhere. You’ve got to find it. When you find your lineage, you will
know who you are! When you find it, you will discover your identity and
you can connect to what God is doing in your life and the riches of the
glory of that inheritance is in the saints. Saints, in this context, refers to
those who have passed on. Christians are people who are living for God
now in the present, and saints are people who have lived for God and are
dead. When Paul prayed for the church to have their eyes enlightened to
know their inheritance in the saints, he meant for them to know the past
fathers in the lineage - what lineage you are from - so that you can inherit
what the fathers in the past laid up for you.
Knowing your lineage will also let you know the hope of your
calling. When you know your lineage, you will also know what God wants
you to do while you are on the earth because your lineage gives definition
to your calling. If John knew that he was from the Elijah Lineage, he
would have understood more accurately his purpose on the earth. But, if
you notice, he got discouraged when Jesus came on the scene and he was
thrown in prison. He got offended and that is why Jesus sent word to him
saying “And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me,”
(Matthew 11:6). This is Jesus saying to John, “Do not be offended with
me.” John would never have gotten offended and discouraged if he knew
Elijah went through the same thing with Jezebel.

The Inheritance of the Fathers

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
of whom the whole family in
heaven and earth is named,” (Ephesians 3:14-15).
Now I want to show you that this inheritance is by lineage, by

family. God is the father of the whole family in Heaven and Earth! Your
family is not only on earth, it is also in heaven. Your family in heaven
completes your family on earth, and that is why Paul said, “whole family
in heaven and earth.” Your family includes saints who have gone on to
heaven and those who are still on earth. In other words, we are connected
by lineage. Now you understand why the angel Gabriel could say to
Zachariah concerning John the Baptist, “And he shall go before him in the
spirit and power of Elias,” (Luke 1:17). Elijah was a saint in Heaven at this
point and yet there is a child coming on the earth who would carry his
spirit and walk in his power. We all came here through a lineage.
In the Old Testament, Numbers 36 reveals more about the

Inheritance of the Fathers:
“This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best;
only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. So shall not
the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every
one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe
of his fathers. And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any
tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his fathers. Neither shall the inheritance remove from one
tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to his own inheritance,” (Numbers 36:6-9).
We see here in this passage that God’s Law of Inheritance was

structured in such a way that the Inheritance would stay in the family or
in the tribe. God wanted each family to be able to keep their inheritance.
Even when the Inheritance was mortgaged away in hard times, God
239
established the Law of Jubilee to ensure that even in that situation, after
fifty years, the inheritance could go back to the original family! “In the
year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession,”
(Leviticus 25:13). In the same way, we are heirs of God and the way he
dispenses spiritual inheritance is through the lineage of the fathers. He
releases your inheritance through the lineage you are in.
If you are disconnected from your lineage by rebellion or by

ignorance, you cannot access that inheritance. That is why the bible says,
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” (Hosea 6:4). Ignorance
is very disastrous. Even though John was such a great servant and prophet
of God, the Lord could not release the spiritual inheritance of miracles in
his lineage because he did not know his lineage. That is why Job 8:8
instructs, “For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself
to the search of their fathers.” You must enquire! You must prepare
yourself to search for the fathers in your lineage!
This is what people do not understand. You are part of a family.

As I already shared with you, God had to explain this to me when I was
suffering intense persecution in my ministry especially by my own culture.
They would say to me concerning my miracle ministry, “You are just
being a carbon copy of Benny Hinn. This is not your real ministry. You
are just doing what you saw another person doing.” What they did not
understand is that the same spirit runs in a lineage. No, God did not make
“carbon copies” as they say, but I am going to have the eyes and the hands,
maybe, of my father and mother. God did not make every star the same,
but they do look similar, don’t they? When you look up in the heavens all
of them glow, don’t they? There are similarities in a lineage and that is
how you discover who you are and your destiny. You have to be born
through a lineage, otherwise you are not here legally, and you are cursed.
When your heart is turned from your father and the authorities in
your life, you have just walked into a curse. It does not matter if you have
a big church and have great success in life. Consider this fact that Hitler
had all of Germany obeying and following him. That did not make him
right. Natural success does not mean you are in right standing with the
Lord. The only thing that makes you legitimate and blessed in the eyes of
240
God is that you are submitted to and come through a lineage or a family.
You should be carrying the spirit and power of your father and if you are
not, then you are not in place. The reason a lot of people and leaders in
the church do not have the power and glory of the fathers is because they
do not know their lineage.
The Power of Prayer in Unveiling Your Fathers

search of their fathers,” (Job 8:8).
As I end this revelation, I must also let you understand the power
of prayer in unveiling your destiny and your identity by revealing your
fathers. I did a lot of praying the day I went to the Benny Hinn meeting
where I had a vision of a tape hitting me upside my head. I prayed up for
about two hours before going to that crusade. You see, prayers open up
the heavens for you to know your destiny. This is in line with the
foundational scripture for the revelation of Inheritance by Lineage, “For
enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of
their fathers,” (Job 8:8).
The word “enquire” also means to require, request, demand, and

also to pray. Prayer is a major key to discovering your lineage and the
fathers in your lineage. The Lord told the disciples concerning prayer,
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you,” (Matthew 7:7). If you pray and ask who your fathers
are, the Lord will reveal them to you. When it comes to the fathers of your
fathers, the scripture specifically says, “prepare thyself to the search of the
fathers.”
You see how Zechariah’s prayer released an angel to give him a

message of destiny concerning John the Baptist. A great destiny was
birthed through prayer. “But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias:
for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and
thou shalt call his name John,” (Luke 1:13). Prayer is a critical component
in discovering your spiritual lineage and inheritance! Jesus was praying on
the Mount of Transfiguration when Moses and Elijah appeared to him in
241
glory and spoke to him about his assignment in life (Luke 9:29-31). Your
prayer draws your fathers! Your prayer creates the platform for your
fathers to speak and impart into your life.
Recovering and Repairing the Desolate Heritages

“And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many
generations,” (Isaiah 61:4).
“Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a
day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit
the desolate heritages (inheritances),” (Isaiah 49:8).
“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt
raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called,
The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in,” (Isaiah
58:12).
Prayer and fasting enables you to recover what is lost in the

lineage. Isaiah 58 reveals that through prayer and fasting one can manifest
the power of two offices called “The Repairer of the Breach” and “The
Restorer of Paths to Dwell In”. Through prayer, you can redeem time and
recover heritages lost. The blockage and loss in the lineage is what the
Bible defines in the two passages above as “the desolations of many
generations” and also as “the desolate heritages.” The word “heritage”
also means to inherit or inheritance. For many generations, the heritage or
spiritual inheritance of the Elijah Lineage lay dormant and untapped
because of Gehazi’s mistake. His foolhardy and wanton quest for money
caused a breach in the lineage and rendered the spiritual inheritance
desolate until John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus came on the scene. John,
out of ignorance, was not able to reclaim the fullness of the Elijah Lineage
but Jesus, as a cross between John and Elijah, recovered and restored the
spiritual inheritance of that lineage.
If you are in the Elijah lineage you can now, through the Lord
Jesus, reclaim your inheritance and identity in that lineage! Jesus, as the
242
messenger of the covenant, has caused us to “inherit the desolate

heritages.” Isn’t that glorious?! That is why Jesus took me to Heaven in
the year 2000 to receive this glorious revelation of Inheritance by Lineage
from Smith Wigglesworth. Then, later on, the Lord himself visited me in
2002 to expand on that revelation and give me the DNA matches that
confirmed and corroborated this mystery. Jesus is recovering the desolate
heritages of the Mosaic and Elijah Lineages in our dispensation!!!
You can partner with the Lord Jesus Christ to repair the breaches
in the lineages. Your prayer paves the way for the inheritance to come into
your life. In Isaiah 58, the Lord reveals that through prayer and fasting,
breaches can be repaired, and foundations of many generations can be
raised back up again. If you will get up and begin to pray and fast, God
will begin to reveal to you who your Fathers are and the spiritual
inheritance you are to walk in. You can redeem time in prayer.
Some will say, “Well if I have an inheritance, it should

automatically fall on me,” but that is wrong thinking. The bible says,
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house
of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock,”
(Ezekiel 36:37). The Lord God made several promises to Israel in Ezekiel
36. God promised to bring them out of captivity and restore them to the
land and also make the desolate land like the Garden of Eden. After
making these promises God told them, “I will yet for this be enquired of
by the house of Israel, to do it for them.” That is how God operates. He
always works with man to accomplish His purposes on earth. Prayer is
how you co-labor with Him to bring His word to pass. Throughout the
Bible you see people asking for their inheritance. The seven daughters of
Zelophehad went to Moses and demanded the inheritance of their father
and God gave it them (Numbers 27). Caleb went to Joshua to demand the
land Moses promised him, and Joshua granted him his request. Even God
the Father told the Lord Jesus Christ, “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession,” (Psalm 2:8). To receive anything from the Lord, the spiritual
law is that you ask before you receive.
243
As you begin to pray and ask God for your spiritual inheritance,
asking Him who your Fathers are, and what your lineage is, God will
begin to answer you with dreams, visions, revelation, and even face to face
appearances. That is exactly what he did for me. I prayed and fasted and
did several shuts-ins at the local church for many days before the Lord
began to reveal my identity and destiny through a series of dreams and
different events.
Confirmation of My Spiritual Lineage

Before I came into this understanding, the Lord told me to
continue to pray and fast and that he would reveal my destiny to me. That
is why I spent several days in prayer and fasting. Many times, I would ask
a local pastor permission to shut in at their church. I had discovered that
Solomon established a covenant with the Lord for temples to be houses of
prayer. I would lock myself up in shut-in for many, many days. That is
when I began to receive dreams and visions about my lineage. Now, I want
to share with you some confirmations God gave me to establish my
spiritual lineage and inheritance. Through these dreams and events, the
Lord enlightened my eyes to discover and connect to the fathers who were
in the lineup of my lineage.
And I’m so appreciative of Pastor Benny Hinn, who God used so

majorly in my life in the early days. Pastor Benny began telling us about
Kathryn Kuhlman, this woman who God used in such a powerful way.
The anointing Kathryn had on her life is the anointing God wants us all to
have! She was dead by the time I heard about her, but when I was taken
to Heaven, the Lord allowed me to be introduced to her and I got a chance
to talk with her. I want to share with you about my journey.
When the Lord Jesus appeared to me, I did not know Kathryn
Kuhlman at all. I was introduced to her when I went off to college. In
1990, a young man named Herbert, who is still a pastor and minister
today, said, “You and your prayer life reminds me so much of this man
that’s on TV named Pastor Benny Hinn.” He said, “I would like for you
to see him, he comes on television at a certain time and when he comes on
244
I’m going to let you know so that you can come over to my dormitory and
we can watch him.”
I’ll never forget when I first saw Pastor Benny on television at the
age of eighteen. My friend Herbert told me, “He’s on!” When he got it on
TV, he said, “You’ve got to come over now because I think it’s the last five
minutes.” I said “Man, why didn’t you call me earlier?” So, I went over-
there and it was at the end of Pastor Benny’s meeting, and I don’t know if
you know in those days Pastor Benny would release the Holy Spirit on
everybody. I’m telling you, Pastor Benny had that glory on him to release
the Holy Spirit - in those days it was his assignment. I personally know
that it was so genuine. At the end part of that meeting, I saw him blow and
wave his hands on a group of people and thousands went down under the
power. At that time, there was no preacher doing that kind of thing and it
intrigued a young person like myself. Most of the preachers would stand
up behind the pulpit, dead and dry, but he had the anointing on him!
What I saw on TV grabbed me. I said, “What is that? I’ve never

seen that!” You know I didn’t grow up in Pentecostal church, I was a
Baptist boy and you know the Baptists, they’ll teach you the Word but
back then they were not strong in the Holy Spirit. They were not strong in
the move of the Spirit.
So, years later, I was in one of Pastor Benny’s services for the first
time. My father took me to one of his crusades when I was home on break
from college. Benny Hinn has such an anointing and there is nothing like
the presence of God in his services because he knows how to usher in the
presence of the Holy Spirit.
I was just a teenager and my father knew I was on fire for God and
he knew I would watch Pastor Benny every time he came on. I would be
glued to that TV and I would be praying with them and I just love that
anointing that was on his life, and finally for the first time when I was
about eighteen, I said, “I want to go to a Pastor Benny Hinn crusade.” I
asked my dad if he would take me to Atlanta, because Pastor Benny was
holding a crusade there, and it was close by Memphis, Tennessee, which
was my hometown.
245
My dad took me down there, we did the whole road trip. When
we got to Atlanta it was tremendous. We didn’t have a good seat because
it was just so packed. In fact, we barely got in. There were thousands
standing outside in the line before the service even started. Once we got
in, the place filled up so quickly, we were almost in the nosebleed section.
At the end of the service, Pastor Benny said, “All of you who want the
anointing of the Holy Spirit on your life, get down here.” Thousands of us
got out of our seats to go to the bottom level. My dad and I were almost
on the main level where all the people were, but it was all filled. We
couldn’t get off the steps on the main level. We were standing on the ledge
of the steps.
There were thousands of people in front of us, we were way in the

back, I was nowhere near the stage! Then Pastor Benny said, “Now I’m
going to release the power of the Holy Spirit.” Back in those days, you
have to understand the kind of religious nut I was. I didn’t know how
religious I was. I was really sincere and loved God, but I was really
religious. I wouldn’t let anybody lay hands on me, and I had never fallen
out in the Spirit! I made sure I stood up every time someone prayed for
me. That’s how I was, I was a religious heretic, because I said, “Look,
nobody is pushing me down.” I didn’t understand the anointing of the
Holy Spirit, just like a lot of Baptist people don’t. They think, “why is that
man pushing down all those people down?” They’re not being pushed
down, they’re falling under the power! There’s real power that can hit you
like that! The real power had never hit my life at that time! I had never
experienced God’s power touching me by anybody laying hands on me.
When I would go up in services to be prayed for, I would stand as straight
as a wooden board that was dry and could catch a flame in a moment if
you set a fire to it!
Anyway, I’ll never forget, me and my dad were on that concrete

ledge where you would go down the steps before we could transition and
go down to the bottom floor. There were so many people on the steps in
front of us, we couldn’t get down. My father was standing there, he was
just happy to see that I wanted more of the Lord, and he loved Pastor
Benny’s ministry, too. Pastor Benny said, “Now I’m going to breathe in
this mic and the power of the Holy Spirit is going to touch you, are you
246
ready for it?” I remember in those days when he was breathing on people
and blowing in the mic, he got persecution from a lot of the pastors because
they didn’t have power to do it, and they felt like he shouldn’t be doing it.
There is so much jealousy in the body of Christ.
The Bible says Jesus breathed on His disciples and they received
the Holy Spirit. If Christ could breathe on people, if God breathed on
Adam, and if it says the Holy Spirit bloweth on His people, then why
shouldn’t we do the same thing He does? If you don’t have a revelation of
that and you don’t have God’s power on you to do it, then you can’t do it.
Just be thankful for those who can and who have paid the price for that
kind of anointing on them.
When Pastor Benny blew in the mic, I had already made up my

mind, that I was not falling! I’m serious, that’s the way I was. I was a
gangster on the streets and a bottom line person. If I wasn’t made to be
knocked down supernaturally, I wasn’t going down. I said, “Whatever
he’s releasing I’m just going to receive it while I’m standing up…!” Then
he breathed on the crowd and I started to see thousands of people, from
the front row to the back, falling like dominoes. I mean thousands just fell-
down. I said, “Thank God for what’s happening there, but I’m going to
receive just like this, with my hands up!” I’m telling you the truth! He kept
breathing in the mic, and you could tell the moment the presence of the
Spirit was touching the people. The moment it hit me, it knocked me out!
I was completely knocked out!
Thank God I didn’t go over the rail, but I fell on that concrete step
and I could still hear him talking but I couldn’t wake up. I remember him
saying, “Now you have to help some of the people up because they can’t
get up on their own.” I was one of those people! The next thing I knew,
my dad was helping me up. I asked him, “How come I’ve fallen and you
didn’t fall?” That was my first experience of being slain in the Spirit. I
experienced the real slaying power of the Holy Ghost.
When Jesus came on the road to Damascus, Paul and all the
people with Him were slain under the power. The Bible says, “They all fell
down.” As a matter of fact, when they came to get Jesus and were about
247
to tie Him up and try Him, He said, “Who are you looking for?” And they
started telling Him who they were looking for. He said, “I am He.” He
said those words, He had just come out of prayer, and an angel from
Heaven was strengthening Him, you could imagine the type of power He
had on Him in prayer at that time. He came out, and just says, “I am He,”
and they all fell down on the ground. How do you make all your enemies
fall down? That’s sovereign power! When somebody is coming to take you
to jail, like the police, they’re not going to fall on the ground! If you bring
Christians, yes, they’ll fall down. The people who came to get Jesus had
no intentions of falling down. Do you understand? Even though they fell
down under the power, they still came and got Him! Can you imagine all
of the soldiers coming to get Jesus, and then they fall on the ground, that’s
real slaying power! There is a slaying power from God, it doesn’t matter
whether you’re saved or not.
I believe there are realms of being slain. You could receive what
God is doing and you fall. Then there’s another realm that is sovereign.
Sinners don’t understand, they’re not going to fall down because they
don’t know to do that, so God knocks them out! That’s what I experienced,
because I was so stubborn. I was not going to let anybody push me down,
and surely not anybody breathing into a microphone. I said, the Holy
Spirit could touch me right here, just like I am.
From that moment on, I realized that this power was available,
and I started following pastor Benny Hinn’s ministry. It really started
when another lady approached me, she was an evangelist in the church,
and was used very powerfully. She started telling me about Pastor Benny
again. Just like the young man I mentioned earlier, she said, “You remind
me of this man on TV. Your prayer life, the way he talks about prayer, the
way you pray all the time…” They said this, because I was really strong in
intimacy, and seeking the Lord.
After Jesus appeared to me, I would not come out of my room for
hours. My parents thought I was going off the deep end. I wouldn’t even
come out for dinner. When I was a senior in high school, I was so happy
to rush home from school. They knew the moment I came home, I wanted
to go straight in my room, because it was in my room that Jesus appeared
248
to me, and all these supernatural things happened, but I couldn’t explain
to people. On two occasions, I saw my Bible close on its own, while I was
holding it in my hands. I know my eyes weren’t seeing things. I would
stay up all night reading the Bible before I went to school. After Jesus
appeared to me, I wanted to know more; I was so hungry. I would read
the Bible and doze off, and then wake myself up to read more. I heard the
voice of the Lord say to me one night, “I want you to go to bed now, get
sleep.” I said, “Lord, just a little bit more?” I heard the voice again, and I
responded, “Just a little bit more?” I kept reading, and dozing off a little
bit, and then wake myself up again. The Lord said, “I want you to go to
bed now.” I didn’t have sense enough to go to bed, I was so hungry for
Jesus. While I was sitting on my chair in my room, at about twelve or one
o’clock in the morning, (mind you, I started about three or four pm), I was
holding the Bible and it just shut on its own! It was in my one hand and I
heard the voice say, “I told you to go to bed!” He shut the Bible twice!
I’m going to tell you some other things that happened. I would
rush home from school and sometimes I would be very tired. I would rush
home just to go to sleep, because I had always made it a point to spend
time with the Lord at a certain time. I think they let us out from school at
two and my time to pray was three. I would rush home from school, so I
could get in the bed and go to sleep for a little bit. I’m a hard sleeper, and
I taught you about dreamers, we are deep sleepers. The Bible says dreams
fall on us when we fall in deep sleep. When I go to sleep, a tornado could
go through the yard and I won’t hear anything. I had always made it my
business to meet God in prayer at three o’clock every day after school. I
wouldn’t come out of my room, I stayed in there until twelve or one
o’clock in the morning.
This happened multiple times, this is how He began to show me

how important our time was. When 2:59 came and I was going to
oversleep, I would feel my leg lift up off the bed like somebody pulled my
leg off and just let it flop on the bed, and I’d wake up and it was 2:59. That
happened at least ten times and the clock said the same number every time,
2:59! I remember my dad told me one year, he said, “Whenever you set a
time to meet God, He’s there before you get there. He’s on time.” He said,
249
“You’re not David!” I would sleep through my time, but those kinds of
things would happen to me – physical things.
I would see an angel at my door, but I could not tell anybody,

because I was in the Baptist church. How do you tell people what is
happening, when they don’t believe in it. I knew this was happening to
me. People knew a change took place in me, because they knew I was a
gangster and knew how evil I was, and for me to do an immediate
turnaround, they knew something had happened. They knew my story, if
they didn’t want to believe me, they could see the evidence in my life. My
parents knew that I didn’t want to go out and do these things anymore, all
I wanted to do was stay in my room.
I tried to explain what was happening to me, and I didn’t really

understand how to talk about it because I didn’t have enough scriptures or
Word of God inside me yet. I didn’t want them to think I was making stuff
up, and exaggerating. I’ll never forget the intense prayer life I had with
God from the time of my salvation that never stopped. Even when I went
to college, it never stopped. I loved spending time and basking in the
presence of God.
The evangelist said these words to me, “The intensity of your

prayer life reminds me of this man on TV named Pastor Benny Hinn who
talks about prayer and seeking God.” You can’t carry that kind of power
unless you spend time with God. The slaying power is not a show.
Later, my ministry blew up globally and God gave me that kind of

power because I spent intense time with Him. When I wave on people and
blow like Pastor Benny would do, thousands fall out under the power.
You’ve seen this on some of the videos and in the different places I go. My
brother who isn’t saved, saw that and said to me, “Was that staged? How
many people did you pay to do that?” He thought I paid them to do it. I
would say, “You’re such a heathen. Boy, you need to get saved.” I told
my brother, “No that wasn’t staged, that’s the power of God.” He didn’t
know what to think.
The evangelist told me, “You should get the book Good Morning,
Holy Spirit.” Pastor Benny had a book out called Good Morning, Holy
250
Spirit and this was where I was first introduced to Kathryn Kuhlman,
through his book Good Morning, Holy Spirit in 1991. First, my friend told
me to come watch him on TV, and then another woman told me, “You
ought to get his book.” At that time, I was like Smith Wigglesworth, I
didn’t want to read anybody else’s books. That was that stubborn religious
pride in me again. I wasn’t going to fall down for anybody and I definitely
wasn’t going to read other Christian books. God later corrected me for
thinking this way. Smith Wigglesworth would do that, he didn’t believe in
reading any other books but the Bible.
Smith Wigglesworth repented when I was in Heaven and talked to

him. He was telling me to go read other books. He was totally different.
He knew he was wrong. The Bible says, when you go to Heaven you go to
the city of just men, made perfect. They’re not perfect here, but they’re
perfect there. We’ve come to Mount Zion, the city, the place of just men
whose spirits made perfect, the spirit of just men who were made perfect.
Down here, he had these problems. Did you know that Lester Sumrall,
was mentored by Smith Wigglesworth? Smith always had that rough way
about him, that bold way about him! In many ways I could identify with
him because I was religious and staunch just like he was. Jesus appeared
to me and I was just going to read the Bible. I didn’t need to read anybody
else’s books. When this evangelist told me to read Pastor Benny’s book,
the Lord pricked my heart and told me, “You need to read that book.”
When I started reading Good Morning, Holy Spirit, I could not

get past the fourth page. Pastor Benny was talking about how he was
touched in a Kathryn Kuhlman service. He was in her service and there
was such glory, and the anointing was going through him, he was weeping
because he had never experienced anything like it. When he saw her on
the stage, there was power going through him. He said at the end of the
service, he saw Kathryn’s face shining like a light bulb and a cloud around
her. He was weeping through the service, and thought his eyes were
playing tricks on him. He said, “What is this? I want what she has!”
Moses always intrigued me, especially after I read in the Bible,

how his face shined like a light and the cloud of God always followed him.
Then when I read this in Pastor Benny’s book about a woman who lived
251
in this generation walking in that power and glory, her face shining like a
light bulb and a cloud was around her, it grabbed me!! I said, “I want this!”
In 1991, I was in my college dormitory room, reading this book. I

read the whole thing and I had tears in my eyes as I was saying, “I don’t
know what this is on her, what you call it, what manifestation you call it,
an anointing whatever, but, I want God on my life like that!” Pastor Benny
was a young boy when he saw this happening with Kathryn Kuhlman! I
was just reading it for the first time, and I wanted it! This hunger led me
on an immediate fast! It was probably on a Thursday or Friday that I
started reading the book and didn’t have classes. I went in the closet and I
took all my roommate’s clothes out. I threw them on his bed and said,
don’t bother me for three days! That’s what happened! He thought I was
crazy!
That’s how radical I was. I said, “I’m going to get this and I’m
going in my closet to talk with God about this for three days, I’m not
coming out until I get it!” That’s what I did! I went in there and didn’t
come out. My roommate would be knocking on the door and I’d say,
“Leave me alone.” He was so mad at me afterwards. I was inconsiderate,
but I was young, and I didn’t understand things at that time. God answered
my passion. He answered me and the quest in me to find the reality of
God, His power, and His glory. I stayed in there for three days. I took that
book and the Bible in there with me. The first day I was in there, looking
around and I started asking God, “Lord I don’t know what this woman
had but I want it, I don’t know what to call it, whatever it is, but I have to
have what she had! I want my face to shine like that and if I’m going to be
a preacher, I want Your glory, the cloud, or whatever it is the church
would refer to it as, I want that on me.”
The first day, I kept asking for it. On the second day, in the middle
part of the day, the Lord said, “Now don’t ask Me for it anymore, just
thank Me for it. I have given it to you.” When He said that, I started
thanking Him! After thanking Him, I started looking at myself and I said,
“I don’t see any cloud or anything!” I mean I was innocent, I’ve got to be
honest! I said, “Nothing is happening, nothing is happening here…” I just
kept hearing Him say, “Thank Me for it!” I didn’t eat any food, I didn’t
252
have any water, I didn’t do anything, I just stayed in the closet. My

roommate would knock on the door and say, “I need to put my clothes
back in there!” I’d say, “Leave me alone!” I locked him out. I said, “I’m
praying!” He would hear me in there praying and the closet was also where
our beds were! He would hear me at night, crying and yelling to God,
“God, I want this!” He would knock on the door, “You’re too loud, I’m
trying to sleep!” The fast ended on Sunday evening because it started
Friday evening, and I said I’d do three days. That was the first time I did
a three day fast and completed it! Every other time I would make it a day,
or I would eat and feel so bad, because fasting was new to me. My body
wasn’t used to it and I was a Baptist boy. I felt like I could go get chips if I
got hungry enough. I didn’t know how to keep the regimen.
I’m being honest, the first year I tried fasting, I failed almost thirty
times. I would always get past a day and a half. I would make it a little
more and when that day would end, and I was in the next day, I would be
counting the hours down. I would make it another hour and that
cheeseburger was still in my mind. I failed the test many times, before I
ever passed it. So, don’t feel bad if you don’t pass. Just don’t ever give up.
I never gave up, I kept going!
I’d be crying on the floor after a day and a half, my muscles would
ache, my head would hurt, the devil was doing a lot, some of it wasn’t the
devil though, it was my mind and my body that didn’t want to do it! I’d
go in the kitchen and eat those chips! This time, I had to focus, that’s how
I know the vision gives you focus. I was fasting religiously at first, but
when I saw that with Kathryn Kuhlman, I said, “I’m not coming out of
here until I get it.” It drove me to complete a three day fast for the first
time in my life! From that point, I would do a three day fast every week
because I was so hungry for the Lord and not for food like I was before!
When you break through, your body gets used to it and then you start to
learn the voice of God while you’re on a fast.
I came out to go to church on Sunday, that evening we were

supposed to go to another church to hear another leader speak. At that
time, I was driving the church bus and was the one designated to drive
everybody. After that Sunday morning service, we traveled to the church
253
we were visiting. I drove the bus and guess what, the person who was
supposed to preach did not make it. Of all the people there, they asked me
to preach.
Remember, I just came off a three day fast. Every time you fast,
God will make opportunities for you to minister His Word. While I was
on this particular fast, was the same time I had a dream about the trade
centers being bombed in 2001, and Sid Roth interviewed me on his show
about it. I dreamed about the World Trade Center being bombed ten years
in advance. That’s when I dreamed about Russia plotting war against
America. Most people don’t understand the trade centers weren’t just
bombed by terrorists, they were paid off by Russia. Russia is behind that.
War has begun in our country and we don’t even understand it.
I was praying for what Kathryn Kuhlman had and God told me
that He had already given it to me. It was the last night of my fast, that I
had a dream that disturbed me. I knew it was serious, it was a national
dream. The preacher didn’t show up and they asked me to preach. I had
the message from the dream I just received. I said, “I know this is an
opportunity, and God is telling me to preach the message He gave me last
night. I need to warn America about a potential war that is coming!” I got
up in the pulpit and preached the dream I had about the war against
America from Russia, and how they would bomb the World Trade
Centers. While I preached, there was a deacon in the corner saying
“amen” so loud he was distracting me while I was preaching, but I just
kept on going. After the service, the same lady who said I needed to get
the book by Benny Hinn said, “I’ve got to tell you something!” She was in
tears! I said, “What do you want to say?” She said, “I dreamed this whole
service last night in my sleep.” I said, “What do you mean?” She said, “I
dreamed that we came here to this church, the preacher didn’t show up
and they asked you to preach.” She said, “In the dream, you had an
important message, and the audience in the dream heard you preaching,
and more people got to hear the message.” As she said these words to me,
she said, “But the strangest thing in the dream, was the deacon that was
yelling in the corner, He was doing that in the dream. Everything
happened verbatim.” Then she said, “The strangest thing that happened
while you were preaching and walking back and forth in the dream, your
254
face was shining and there was a cloud around you.” I began to cry because
she didn’t know I was on a fast for three days or that I was praying for that.
It was my confirmation that I had received what Kathryn Kuhlman had!
She said, “The other people probably didn’t see it, but God opened
my eyes and I saw the cloud around you and your face shining, not just in
the dream, I saw it physically!” I told her about the dream, and she said,
“Everybody in America has to hear this message”.
When she told me that, I started to learn how important it was to

listen to God in dreams, because she had no way of knowing that’s what I
prayed for.
Sometimes, without any evidence, you must believe that you

receive what you prayed for. The Bible says, “And when you pray believe
that you receive the things you ask for and you shall have them!” In red,
Jesus said, “Whatsoever you ask in prayer believing you shall receive it!”
Hallelujah! That’s why I started asking the Lord. Years later, it got greater.
I want you to start coming down on earth with me like You did with
Moses, in front of America! I want You to shake this nation.” Now you
see Him doing it!
This confirmation changed my life. I said, “Now I have what she

has.” When I graduated with my Associates Chef degree, the Lord said,
“If you want the full measure of ministry like they had in the Bible, you
must give up everything, your career, everything.” He told me this when I
was nineteen years old and I saw a dream of me, walking by faith, like
Abraham.
He said, “You must get out of your father’s and mother’s house
and never return back there!” Not that I couldn’t visit, but I was not to go
back. I was to sell out, walk away from my parent’s house, and get away
to be trained by Him. Most great men and women of God that were used
by Him, had to leave home! Jesus left Heaven. Jacob wasn’t going to let
Joseph go. He loved Joseph so much, he wasn’t ever going to let him out
of the house. God had to allow his brothers to betray him and throw him
into the pit, so he could be who God wanted him to be. God had to work
it out and send him to Egypt. The Bible says, Jacob loved Joseph, he gave
255
him a coat of many colors. He spoiled that boy! You can’t be a general, or
used for world purpose, being spoiled by your parents. God knows He has
to get you out of the house! He has to get you away from comfort. I know
I am scaring some of you now. Jesus said, “If you come to Me and hate
not your father, your mother, your sister, your brother, your wife, even
your own life, you cannot be my disciple. You can’t be a personal student
of mine!”
That’s one of the problems America has, they’re so weak to family.

They love godly relationships more than they love God! I’m going to say
that again. A relationship God gives you may be godly, but it’s not greater
than God, and He will test you with what you love. He will test you with
your family, He will test you with people you love. He must know you
love Him more. He was testing me in my teenage years to see if I would
pay the price. I walked away immediately. I was excited, because I thought
my ministry was going to begin, not knowing it would be twenty years
away. That’s how God does it. He’ll set you up and show you great things,
but not tell you that you’re going to the pit, none of that stuff. That’s what
He did to Joseph, He just gave Him a dream of greatness. The next thing
you know, he’s put in a pit and sold into slavery! God shows you all these
great things and never tells you what you’re going to go through because
He knows you’ll run away. He shows you the good outcome and leave the
other stuff out.
The Lord is so wonderful! He knows I would have ran from the

stuff I had to go through! I’ll never forget when I left home and went back
to Charleston, where I went to school. I was going there to be prepared for
ministry. While I was there, things happened, and I started learning about
Kathryn Kuhlman.
I went to sleep one night, and I saw myself in a huge arena with
about 20,000 people. Kathryn Kuhlman was on the stage in a beautiful
white garment. At this time, I did not know anything about Kathryn
Kuhlman. In this dream, she was on stage, ministering to the sick.
Suddenly, electricity and bright lightning came from heaven into the
arena, in the sight of everybody. I saw it. I was there. God caused me to
time travel back to that exact moment in the crusade. We all saw this
256
electricity come into the service with our eyeballs, like during a
thunderstorm, and we heard the sound like lightning skipping on wires.
Everyone gasped in unison when it happened.
All of the sudden, there was a man in a wheelchair. He had three

metal straps holding him in place and he had about seventeen things wrong
with him. He had a catheter and was all twisted up in a wheelchair, it was
horrible. I found out later that he was a paratrooper. He fell out of a plane
and his parachute didn’t work right, he hit the ground hard and it deformed
him. It messed up his bones, he was twisted, and he had to be held in a
wheelchair with three metal belts or else he would have just slid out of the
chair because he was so twisted, that’s how bad it was!
When the lightning came from Heaven, the man’s wheelchair

began to shake and rock back and forth under the power of God. Suddenly,
the metal straps snapped off him loudly. I still vividly remember this
vision. The three metal straps popped off him like rubber bands and then
this man untwisted right before us and jumped out of the wheel chair
completely healed! At that moment, I saw the hand of the Father. I saw
His forefinger stretched out and gold oil was coming out of His finger as
He wrote, “This is your day to do what she is doing,” on the wall.
At this moment in the dream, the pastor I was staying with came
into my room and woke me up. I was so mad at him when I woke up.
He was saying, “Come, come. Benny Hinn is on. Come on, I want
you to watch this.”
I shook my head in exasperation as I told him, “Man! I was in a

crusade. Why are you waking me up? I was just in a glorious dream.”
He said, “Just come”. I got up and sat at the edge of the bed and
turned the TV on. Benny Hinn called Joan Gieson, the dear lady with
white hair who worked with Kathryn Kuhlman, to come up on the stage.
As she walked across the stage, Benny Hinn said, “Joan, come and
tell us about the service you were in with Kathryn when the electricity
came from heaven.”
257
I literally jumped off the edge of the bed and exclaimed, “I just saw
this!”
She told the story just like I saw it. How everybody said, “Wooo”
I said, “I saw that, we all did that!” God was trying to confirm to me, this
lady had real power! She’s dead and He was showing me services of her
that really happened on Earth. That’s how I knew she had something on
her life. That was the first sign God gave me to prove that I was called to
this lineage. I do not wear white suits just because Kathryn Kuhlman and
Benny Hinn did. It is my inheritance.
How many preachers have you ever seen, that are backed by
physical electricity from Heaven in their services? This lady had an
incredible anointing on her life - unspeakable. I remember Pastor Benny
talking about Kathryn, she was in a service and the glory of the Holy Spirit
was so strong and she made everybody get quiet. She said, “Everyone just
quiet, just quiet.” You know you’ll always have the Pentecostal religious
people thinking they need to keep praising God, and under their breath
they were saying, “Thank You Jesus, praise You God, thank You Jesus.”
There was a guy doing this, and she said, “Sir, I said quiet!” She had
magnetic ears under the anointing. He got quiet and you could have heard
a pin drop in that place. I know people who are alive today that were in
this service I’m telling you about. I met them, old pioneers. All of a
sudden, when everything was quiet, a rushing mighty wind physically
came into the building, no air conditioners, no smoke machine, nothing!
A physical wind blew, and her robe was flapping in the wind. This
happened for the next two minutes. Do you know how long two minutes
is for a wind to blow like that coming from nowhere? People were rolling
on the floor, they had fallen out of their chairs because the wind was so
strong. The ushers were sweeping up cataracts off the floor because when
this wind was blowing everyone got healed! Cataracts fell on the floor,
blinded eyes opened, people were emptied out of wheelchairs. She didn’t
pray for anyone, it was just the sovereign power of the Holy Ghost!
People were holding onto chairs and men’s jackets were flying. She
had an incredible anointing on her life. I know it was true because I saw it
in dreams, and it was verified! I had never heard about electricity coming
258
in her service, never, then I dreamed it and the same night it was confirmed
to me. God was showing me this lady had something genuine. I said, “You
gave me what she had, and I’ve got to learn what she had.” It wasn’t until
years later when that blue electricity would start manifesting in our
services, and we’ve seen it four times! It didn’t happen all the time in her
services, just sometimes.
You have to understand that when the electricity came down, I

said, “He’s telling me this is my day to do what she was doing.”
At the age of nineteen, I started to learn more about Kathryn’s

ministry. I read her books, and the healing ministry was formed. I started
to see people healed out of wheelchairs, that wasn’t happening in my life
and ministry before. Honestly, nobody would get out of wheelchairs, I
would pray for them and they’d still be stuck right there.
I remember the shifts, changes, and different transitions in my life

and ministry, when I didn’t have that power and then when it manifested!
It always manifested when I prayed and fasted more. I started seeing all
these people untwisting and getting out of wheelchairs, these things started
happening. When I was nineteen, nothing was happening. I was just being
told what I had received, but it took years to birth that out of my spirit.
Pastor Benny talked about how it’s called “accompanied by His presence.”
Kathryn had just finished doing a meeting at The Holiday Inn. There were
thousands of people there. When the services were over, she would always
exit through the back to get away from the crowds. This night, they took
her out though the kitchen. I went to school to be a chef, so I know a lot
don’t live a godly life and are not saved. They work so many hours, and
many don’t go to church. God’s presence was so amazing on this lady. She
had such a true slaying power of the Holy Spirit, that when she walked
through the back of the kitchen, not praying for anyone, just trying to get
away, the cooks who had their back to her, fell on the floor, hats, spoons,
and everything! They didn’t even know she was there, she was simply
passing by. That’s the kind of slaying power she had on her!
The Holy Spirit attended her life. People say that when you went
in the place she was ministering, you would feel the Glory of God. In the
259
lobby, bathroom, in any room, and everywhere. She carried a presence of

God on her life, it was amazing! She also thought and taught about dying
to self. Sadly, a lot of ministers don’t do that, and that’s why they can’t
carry His presence like that. The ones who think they do, are liars, because
if they did, it would manifest. I don’t want to hear a bunch of talk, if you
have the real thing it should show, isn’t that right? Many are full of pride,
they can’t even go through suffering, they don’t want to give up anything.
I know what it is to give up everything. I’ve had to give up

everything three times. I have not been able to live a comfortable life for
almost twenty years. I know what it is to be inconvenienced. I was hungry
enough, and being inconvenienced didn’t matter to me. I knew there was
and is something important that must be done in this country. It must
happen, and I am willing, I don’t care. I told God, “I don’t care what I
have to do I’m willing to pay the price.” I don’t have to live a comfortable
life. If you complain about being uncomfortable then you are not dead,
you’re full of yourself and full of pride. How can you walk in such glory
like this and not pay a price? You must pay a price. A lot of people want
to talk about what she had but they never want to talk about the price she
paid. She had to pay a price to walk in that! You don’t walk on the stage
and God come behind you like that, without you hardly doing anything.
You can’t fake a wind blowing. I don’t care how many smoke machines
you get, whatever you try to put in the building, you can’t fake it, and you
can’t fake people untwisting out of wheelchairs or the manifestation of
signs and wonders.
I started seeing people get out of wheelchairs, but I didn’t see that
blue electricity. Until 1992, miracles started happening, but no blue
electricity. I said, “God, where is this? You said this is my day to do this.”
When I was taken to Heaven, I got a chance to talk with Smith
Wigglesworth. At that time, God was already using me in miracles like He
was using Kathryn. People were getting out of wheelchairs and that kind
of thing, but I still didn’t have that sovereign thing she had on her. I fasted
and prayed, but it wasn’t manifested. I had it, but I didn’t know how to get
it openly.
260
One night I was sucked out of my body into the third Heaven, and
immediately I was standing in front of Jesus. He said, “I brought you here
to take you around Heaven, and to talk to you about some personal things
and about your ministry.” While I was up there, I got a chance to talk with
Smith Wigglesworth. He gave me phenomenal revelation.
261
262
After talking to Smith Wigglesworth and Charles Finney, who

were by each other, Jesus and I started walking. Over to my right, I saw
Kathryn. She was standing by a river, it was flowing and beautiful, it was
clear as crystal, and there is a wooden bridge that goes across it. Kathryn
was on her way to pass, and I saw her. Jesus knew what I was thinking. I
said, “Can I go? I want to go over there to meet her and ask her questions.”
She looks the same, she still has that beautiful red hair!
When I walked up to her she was so beautiful and shining with the
glory of God. Before I could say anything to her, she said, “Hi David,”
and I was amazed. I said, “You know me?” She said, “Everybody here
knows you.” I said, “Do they?” She said, “Yes you talk about Jesus all the
time on the Earth.” When we talk about Jesus on Earth, He talks about us
in Heaven.
As a teenager, I was a great witness on the streets. I would catch

the bus and go downtown and witness to people about Jesus. From the
moment Jesus saved me, I started witnessing to everyone in my school.
That’s why I tell young people, to never be ashamed of Jesus in school, be
bold and talk about Christ.
I was a gangster and I was bold for the devil. Now I’m bold for
Jesus! My ministry didn’t start in big cathedrals, or in the pulpit I preach
today, no, no, no. It started on the streets with the homeless. I was getting
them saved on the streets and telling them about Jesus. I would stay out
there fourteen hours some days, and I stayed on the street all night and
slept with the homeless just to get them saved. I talked about Jesus
everywhere I went. My mom would say, “Day, are you talking about Jesus
too much? You’re going to run people away!” I said “Mom, I’m not
listening, we cannot be quiet.” However, in so many ways my sweet little
Baptist mom was right. I wasn’t balanced in those days, I’m more balanced
today.
Anyway, that’s what took place and Kathryn said, “Everyone

knows you here because you talk about Jesus on Earth.” Jesus reminded
me of that, He said, “If you deny me before men, I’ll deny you before My
Father, but if you talk about Me and confess me on Earth before men, I’ll
263
confess you before My Father and His Holy angels.” Even the angels knew
me. When they walked past me, they would call my name. I looked at
Jesus because He knew my thoughts, He said, “You’re wondering how
they know you? Because you talk about me on Earth, I promise you that
I’ll spread your name in the Heaven if you spread mine on Earth.”
Hallelujah!
I began to see that I carry a big stick in Heaven. I’m known in

Heaven, that’s all that matters to me, I don’t care what men say about me
here on Earth. I’m known in the next life. I have weight in the next life -
that’s where it counts. It really doesn’t count here, because this world
passes away. It counts there. How many understand that? I’d rather be
honored by God than be honored by man any day, hallelujah! It doesn’t
matter what they think about me. I know I love Jesus and what He thinks
is all that matters.
I went over there and Kathryn started talking to me, after she said
that statement, I was so encouraged. I said to her, “You know that dream
God showed me about you on Earth when I was just nineteen years old?”
She said “I know about that.” She knew it. I said, “Ever since then, God
has been using me in miracles like He used you in the wheelchairs, and
things like that, but that blue power, that electricity that came in your
service, that has never happened yet. Why?” How did you get that Glory
on your life? How did you get that sovereign thing on you? I just haven’t
seen it.” Her eyes changed like flames of fire! She looked at me sternly!
She said, “Number one,” I thought a great revelation was coming, “Don’t
ever quit preaching the Word.” I thought, I know that. Then she said
“Number two: Don’t desecrate!” I had never heard about the word
“desecration.” I didn’t know what that meant. When I came back to Earth,
I looked it up and they always refer to desecration when it deals with
graves. Don’t desecrate a gravesite. That means to treat something that is
reverenced with disdain and disrespect.
Kathryn always talked about death to self and dying to self, which
represents grave, so she was basically saying the opposite of desecration is
consecration. Don’t ever stop consecrating, praying, and fasting. That’s
why I make it my business to seek God in shut-away, because that’s what
264
my life is about - that’s the price. She said, “Don’t desecrate.” That means
to stop consecrating, to revert back to the flesh, to stop paying the price
and dying to self. She said, “It will happen, you just have to keep
consecrating, do not desecrate, do not go off, and veer off into another
unconsecrated life!”
I started doing that. The first service electricity came in front of

everybody, was in Chicago. It was so amazing because I was praying and
fasting in my pilot’s home. I was praying in their bathroom, and Jesus
suddenly appeared in the bathroom and said, “Tonight in the service, I’m
going to come and the electricity is going to come tonight. Tell the people
not to be afraid. A lot of them are going to scream tonight, and a lot of
glass is going to shatter, and a lot of power is going to be knocked out from
it, but I’ll leave the recording on so it will be captured.” We captured it! I
told them early in the service. About forty-five minutes into the service it
happened. Electricity came in and knocked out all the lights, all the glass
from the TV lights, not just on the stage, but in the audience, started to
shake. The crowd began screaming. The power was knocked out, and
there were so many miracles that night! It was unspeakable power.
The very last time it happened was in Atlanta. I was in Atlanta for
a meeting for two or three nights and the pastor dreamed it would happen
the night before it did. She said, “I dreamed that on the Friday night when
you stood up, electricity came and all of us saw it!” She never heard about
this thing before. She’s been in my meetings and saw the dead raised, but
she had never seen this kind of thing, and didn’t know the story that I’m
telling you. She said, “All I know is this blue electricity came.” On the
Friday night, it came and knocked all the power out for a three-mile radius!
Our lights were the only ones that stayed on.
I came into that after Kathryn told me in Heaven what to do.

Another moment came when I was in service in Cleveland, Ohio. The
first nursing home was emptied. Everyone was healed out of
wheelchairs, and off of crutches and canes during a mass crusade.
This kind of glory and power doesn’t just come for us to say,
“Wooo, look at that!” It comes to help people. If we don’t bring people
265
who need help, why would God do that? It’s like wanting God to raise the
dead, but there’s nobody around that is dead. Why would God give you
an anointing to raise the dead and you’re never around the dead. You’ve
got to be around where the need is, in order for that kind of power to
manifest.
I was in service in Cleveland, Ohio and the glory was so strong. I

did not know the man who sang for years for Kathryn Kuhlman and who
worked for Pastor Benny, Jimmy McDougal, was there. He sang with that
opera voice, and was Kathryn’s close friend for many years and sang in
her crusades. Now he’s singing in Pastor Benny’s crusades. I knew who he
was and he’s like a father and a legion to us in ministry. I didn’t know that
a friend of mine invited him to come to the service. He popped up
unexpectedly. There was only about two or three thousand people in the
service. He cried through the whole service. I was wondering why is he
crying, am I doing something wrong? I’m saying, “This great legion who
worked with Kathryn Kuhlman is sitting in my service and all these
wheelchairs are on the stage, all these miracles are happening, and he’s
crying.” I couldn’t wait to meet him. I couldn’t wait for the service to end,
so my staff could bring him back to talk with me. When they did, he still
had tears in his eyes. I was saying, “I’m so happy to see you, you worked
with Kathryn, you were her closest friend for many years, even up until
her death.” He even wrote a book on her, she asked him to write a book
about her life.
I said, “Jimmy, tell me about Kathryn.” He said, “First I must tell

you this, “In 2003, Pastor Benny came to my hotel room, because he
respects me like a father. He comes to my hotel room every night after
those mass crusades he does in America. He comes and sits at my feet on
the floor and he cries and says, ‘Jimmy I know God is using me very
powerfully,’ but he says, ‘I can tell I don’t have that thing that Kathryn
had on her life.’ He said, ‘How do I get it? You were close to her, you
walked with her, how do you get it?” Jimmy said, “I didn’t know what to
tell him, because I didn’t know.” He was still crying and saying these
words to me, he said, “Tonight, for the first time in many years since her
death, and the last services I attended with her, I felt that same thing in
your service that she had!” I said, “What?” He said, “Yes! I’m going to
266
call Pastor Benny and he’s going to send his jet to pick you up and fly you
down to Springfield just to talk to him in his meeting.” He said, “I don’t
know what you’ve done young man, but you have this thing that Kathryn
had on her. I know it, because I worked with her for years and was in her
crusades, the atmosphere was completely enraptured.” For those of you
reading this book, you need to come to one of our crusades! It’s one thing
to sit in revival services, it’s a whole different flow in miracle services!
There is complete glory, intense power, throughout the whole service!
While Jimmy was saying these words to me, I was weeping and
saying, “I can’t believe this, because I honor Pastor Benny, he’s a spiritual
father.” Jimmy said, “No, how did you get this?” I told him my whole
story, like I just told you. I said, “Jimmy, you may not believe me, but I
talked to Kathryn in Heaven and she told me how to do it. She told me
what she did and I started doing it.” He said, “I don’t know what you did
but you have it!” He said, “Don’t ever lose this!”
A few years passed by after that and I was in Colvin, Washington,

not too far from Spokane, Washington. I was doing revival services and
this beautiful Irish-Canadian couple, probably in their eighties now, came
to me and said, “David, we were in Kathryn’s services for years, we saw
that electricity come in at different times of her services. It didn’t happen
every service, it happened in special moments. We experienced it a
number of times and said we were going to capture it the next time we
brought our camera. When it happened in our service, we took a picture
and we got it.” They said, “We verified it with the people and we’re going
to bring that picture and let you have it, so you can show the people.” They
brought it and when they showed that to me, I said, “This is amazing!”
You can tell that’s power from the throne. No computer messed with
anything.
This was physical, this wasn’t like how you take a picture and then
something comes out - no! This was happening physically behind her. In
her services they started catching pictures of it! The picture is proof that
this lady had this power on her life. God wants you to walk in it. Do you
believe that? He wants you to walk in that anointing of the Holy Ghost!
That’s power from the throne. Kathryn was used very powerfully! I want
267
to say to this generation, there are people, young men and women that
God wants to use like this, and I believe He’s even speaking to them about
things like this.
God gave me another confirmation about my lineage. In 1993, I

was sitting in the back of a Benny Hinn Miracle Service, back in the
wheelchair section. I went with another pastor, and I went to receive. I
prayed for about two hours before the service. I always like to pray before
I go to services. During the service, one of Benny Hinn’s staff members
was offering his tapes and throwing some of them out to the crowd. All of
a sudden, as I was sitting in my seat, I had a vision of a tape flying in the
air and hitting me upside my head.
I jumped and said, “I rebuke this!”
The pastor beside me looked at me and said, “What are you

rebuking?”
I said, “I just had a vision of a tape flying and hitting me upside

my head.” She did not know what that meant so we just kept looking at
Benny’s workers on the stage. Then Benny came out

unusually early and took the tapes and books from his workers and started
throwing them out. The tapes and books were Kathryn’s, Benny’s, and
Smith Wigglesworth’s. He started joking with us in the middle of the
crusade and he said these words, “Now if I throw one of these tapes out
there and it hits you upside the head, that means you have a healing
ministry.” I was shocked!
The pastor looked at me and said, “Oh you better repent right
now.” That was such a powerful confirmation to me.
My lineage does not start with Benny Hinn and Kathryn

Kuhlman. It goes further back than that. I am using my personal testimony
to share this revelation with you. I can identify what is going on in my life,
because I know what my lineage is. All these things that are happening
now with the Latter Rain Glory Move, I can put together, because it
happened to my forefathers before me. When you know who your spiritual
fathers are, you know your lineage, your calling, your destiny, and the
spiritual inheritance you are supposed to walk in.
Some of you may be going through persecution for displaying

similar traits and behaviors to those in your lineage. You do not need to
worry about that. You are just manifesting your lineage. I went through
that as I said earlier on. A lot of people think you are trying to be a carbon
copy of someone when you begin to study and hook up to your lineage.
This is what is wrong with our generation, everybody who comes on the
scene does not want to acknowledge anybody. You must understand that
you did not get here by yourself. That is why we do not do more than our
fathers, we do not look like them, we do not act like them, and we do not
do what they did. Our generation is so prideful, we want to do our own
thing. You have to be established on the foundation of the fathers to
discover who you are. To find out who you really are, you must find out
who your fathers are.
The Power of Prophets Praying Over You

“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of
him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee,
270
and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to
be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out
of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased,” (Matthew 3:13-17).
As you come to the end of this book, let me say this: I understand
what happens in my life because I began to understand the spiritual lineage
I am in. I know I am in the Mosaic lineage. Moses is my spiritual father.
He was Jesus’ spiritual father in ministry. Jesus had a similar ministry to
Moses. Now John the Baptist was a little different, his spiritual father was
Elijah. The thing you must realize, it was the Elijah Lineage that
pronounced Jesus’ ministry. It was John the Baptist who prophesied over
the ministry of Jesus.
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred

before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven
like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that
sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou
shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he
which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare ‹record that
this is the Son of God,” (John 1:29-34).
Many years ago, I held prophetic conferences in Florida. Every

year God would give me a dream concerning the office of the prophet and
the things he wanted me to show the prophets from around the world. In
2008, I had a dream about a great minister and I heard the Lord saying to
him, “You did not get big until a prophet prayed over you. You did not
grow and increase massively until a prophet prayed over your life.” I woke
up out of that dream and I knew a glorious revelation was being given to
271
me, but I did not quite understand it, so I started praying and asking the
Holy Spirit to help me understand this revelation.
The Holy Spirit began to explain to me that it was the Father’s

desire to send a prophet to pray or prophesy over every great man or
woman of God that He ever brought on the scene. That was when I began
to preach about the authority of the prophet’s office to pray over different
people with destiny to bring out their call. Then the Holy Spirit began to
give me scriptures for it. The Spirit revealed to me how Saul was just a
farmer until God sent Samuel to pray over him and that is when Saul
became King and increased mightily. The same thing happened with
David. God sent Samuel to anoint David to be King and when David
became king he also increased greatly.
Every time God raised someone up, he would send a prophet to

go pray over them. The same thing happened with Abraham. We see in
Genesis 14, how Melchizedek, the Priest of the Most High, prayed over
Abraham and released a blessing on him. In the very next chapter, God
appeared to Abraham and entered into a covenant with him. Abraham, as
a prophet, prayed over Abimelech and his house became fruitful. This is
all because prophets have the mantle of increase upon their life. The bible
says, “Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe
his prophets, so shall ye prosper,” (2 Chronicles 20:20). Believing in God
establishes you in your destiny and lineage, but believing His prophets
prospers and propels you in your destiny. Prophets have power to prosper
and increase you. When they pray over you, you can become a giant just
through them praying over your life.
God did the same for Jesus. In fact, God preordained that a
messenger would go ahead of Jesus and announce him to the nation of
Israel. “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way
before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,
even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall
come, saith the LORD of hosts,” (Malachi 3:1). This is because the way
of the Lord has to be prepared.
272
God sent John the Baptist and John said concerning Jesus, “but
that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing
with water.” John declared boldly that it was his calling to manifest Jesus
to Israel! It is the calling of prophets to manifest you! They are to pray over
you to release the destiny in you.
Right after John baptized Jesus, the Bible says Heaven opened and
the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus bodily and the Father spoke to His son,
Jesus, and said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,”
(Matthew 3:17). It was after this that the fame of Jesus began to spread all
over the land. Do you see how John’s prophetic mantle unleashed the
divine destiny of Jesus Christ? I want to ask you this question: if Jesus had
to fulfill all righteousness by having a prophet pray over him, then don’t
you need this as well? Another major key to the birthing of your destiny
and identity is for a prophet to pray over you.
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets,” (Amos 3:7).
Jesus told John the Baptist that all righteousness had to be fulfilled
for Him to be able to start His ministry. One of the levels of righteousness
is that God has ordained in his Kingdom that he does not do anything
without first talking to His prophets. God uses prophets to promote and
propel people he wants to release. Jesus called John the Baptist, “more
than a prophet,” (Matthew 11:9). The Lord gave me a revelation about
how John the Baptist, as a prophet, had to baptize and pray over Jesus
because it was a principle of righteousness. Right after that, Jesus’ ministry
increased. After John announced Jesus and baptized him in Luke 3, in
Luke 4 we see a change in the life of Jesus Christ: “And Jesus returned in
the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him
through all the region round about,” (Luke 4:14). For eighteen years, Jesus
was only known as the “son of the carpenter,” but after He was baptized,
all of Israel began to hear of him.
God respects the prayers of a prophet. He would not accept the

prayers of the friends of Job until Job prayed over them. God told
Abimelech to go to Abraham and have him pray over him. God said to
273
Abimelech, “Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet,
and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not,
know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine,” (Genesis
20:7). God truly respects the prayers of a prophet. John the Baptist was not
Jesus’ spiritual father, but he was the prophet that God ordained and put
in the life of Jesus to bring increase in his ministry and destiny.
In my own personal life, God used the late Kim Clement to pray
over my life. My friend Kim Clement, who I love dearly, prophesied to me
about the Face to Face book.
I remember that I was in the middle of writing it and he did not

know it and he just called me out and said, “I see that book you are writing.
It’s gonna go around the world.” And for those who knew Kim Clement,
he was from the Elijah Lineage. He was always wearing those boots and
different kinds of clothes. That was just the spirit and power of Elijah
operating in his life and manifesting even in his choice of clothes. The
Elijah Lineage people dress strange. Do you see what I am sharing here?
The Face to Face book went on to be a bestseller.
One of my spiritual inheritances that I have received from the

Mosaic Lineage is my ministry and office as a face to face prophet. This is
a rare, prophetic office and grace that God revealed to me only comes on
the scene after every two thousand years. Both Moses and Jesus were face
to face prophets. We know about the Roeh, Nabiy, and Chozeh realms
and types of prophets. This is in 1 Chronicles 29:29, “Now the acts of
David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of
Samuel the seer (rô'eh), and in the book of Nathan the prophet (nâbı̂y'),
and in the book of Gad the seer (chôzeh).” But God revealed to me that
there was another type of prophet that is much higher in rank and weight
to the other prophetic realms. Aaron and Miriam discovered this to their
shock in Numbers 12:1-8. There is such a thing as a face to face prophet.
“And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the
LORD knew face to face,” (Deuteronomy 34:10). God revealed to me at
the turn of the century that he had raised me up to be a face to face prophet.
That is why God is appearing face to face in the clouds visibly and openly
all over the United States of America and some of the nations of the world.
274
It is in this office I want to pray for you right now. By now, you
have a good idea as to whether you are in the Mosaic or Elijah Lineage.
You also know by now where you are manifesting the traits of the cross
between lineages. I am going to pray for you. Your life will not be the same
again. You are going to receive major life transforming visitations, face to
face appearances from God and from his son, Jesus Christ. Angels will
begin to visit you to reveal your identity and destiny. Some of you, God
will change your name. Prepare for your life to be completely transformed.
I also want to pray for you that the negative things, failures, and
weaknesses in the lineage be cut off and bound from manifesting in your
life. I announce to you right now that God is about to increase you on all
sides, in your ministry, and in your calling.
Prayer for the Elijah Lineage

“And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me,”
(Matthew 11:6).
For those in the Elijah Lineage, I will pray to break that spirit of
offense from attacking and destroying your life. But before I can pray for
people with offense, I must let you know that it is a willful sin. You must
personally denounce it and break rank with it before God can come and
do anything for you. That is why God can’t get through to offended people
a lot of times. They usually go to hell because offense leads to betrayal
and betrayal leads to hate, which is murder. “And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another,”
(Matthew 24:10). Many people are in hell over offense. God took me to
hell and I saw many Christians in the pits of hell over offense. As I said,
the root of offense is unforgiveness. You cannot say about those who have
offended you, “I have forgiven them,” and still be offended at them. You
have to release those who have offended you. There was one man I saw
burning in the pits of hell.
He cried out to Jesus as we walked past his pit, “I served you for
fifty years, why am I down here?”
275
Jesus looked at him and said, “You know why you are down here.
You would not forgive, you held bitterness in your heart.” Offense is
serious because it threatens your salvation. Don’t play games with offense
ever again in your life.
Prayer
For those in the Elijah Lineage pray this prayer with me:
“Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive me for the root of offense in my life which
is a hardened heart. Lord, I do not want a spirit of unforgiveness in my
life. I renounce this spirit of offense in Jesus’ name! Lord I will never play
games with offense and unforgiveness. I will forgive before the sun sets. In
fact, Lord, I will forgive in the same moment! Hallelujah!”
Now I want to pray for you:
“Father, I pray for everyone reading this book who is in the Elijah Lineage.
Lord, I pray that there will be a release of that full lineage in their life. Let
the fullness and double portion of the spirit and power of Elijah fall upon
them in Jesus’ name. Raise them up to turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children and the heart of the children to the fathers. Raise them up to
restore all things!
And Lord, I pray that You guard them from offense. Guard them
from getting offended at You and Your people. Many times, in this
lineage, the prophets get angry at You, like how John the Baptist and
Elijah got offended at You. But I pray for them that You guard their heart
from that spirit in Jesus’ name. Guard their hearts, O Lord. And now I
command the spirit of offense right now to be broken from off their life. I
bind and cast that spirit out of their lives in Jesus’ name!”
Prayer for the Mosaic Lineage

I will now pray for the love life of those of you in the Mosaic
Lineage, that you will not be attacked in that area. For those in the Mosaic
Lineage, we will pray to break that spirit that is trying to destroy your
marriage. You know the Lord told Moses, “See, I have made thee a god to
276
Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet,” (Exodus 7:1). You
see, the Mosaic Lineage carries another realm of glory called the God
Realm. That realm is the DNA of God, splitting water, controlling the five
elements, and manifesting Omega powers and other God Realm
manifestations. But it was God who said, “And I saw, when for all the
causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away,
and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not,
but went and played the harlot also,” (Jeremiah 3:8). God Himself got a
divorce.
Now I am not endorsing divorce, but what I am saying is that the

Mosaic Lineage carries a weight and rank that threatens Satan directly.
That is why he ferociously attacks the love life of those in the Mosaic
Lineage. We believe in the sanctity and integrity of marriage. We want
marriages to stay together. I have seen some leaders who just want a new
girlfriend and they divorce their wives. I am not talking about that kind of
foolishness. Nevertheless, those in the Mosaic Lineage have to particularly
deal with this weakness.
Prayer
“Lord, I pray over every single person in the Mosaic Lineage right now. I
pray that You will bring them to full measure of power and understanding
of the glory of God. Moses was a glory man. He asked to see Your glory.
He wanted to see You face to face. Father, You spoke to him mouth to
mouth and face to face. Lord, bring these ones into glory. Bring them into
the glory and show them Your face in Jesus’ Name!
Father, right now in the name of Jesus, I pray for marriages. And
God, I pray against the down sides in that lineage that attack their families,
their love lives, their intimacy, and love walks. I come against this spirit
that attacks their hearts in ways that are so painful and emotional. Being
in love and losing the one they love and having to start all over again. I
pray for them. I pray for them that You will stabilize them, stabilize their
love life. O Father, stabilize their love life and marriage in the name of
Jesus. Complete them I pray in Jesus’ name.
277
I come against this spirit that attacks those that are in the Mosaic
Lineage. I come against this spirit that tries to separate and destroy unions.
I break this power of division. I call out and expose the main spirit and
strong man that attacks marriages, the spirit of division. A house divided
against itself cannot stand. I come against the spirit the devil sends first,
which is called division. I stand in my office as a king and a priest and I
cast out the spirit of division out of their lives in Jesus’ name! Lord, I
release Your glory upon them to endure. I release the Omega Glory upon
them to end right and for their marriage to last. I command these marriages
to fulfill destiny in Jesus’ name.”
Prayer of Impartation for All Lineages

I say to all who have read this book, God has been showing some
of you, dreams continually over the years but it has not manifested yet.
But I decree over you, that those dreams of greatness, destiny, identity,
and spiritual inheritances are manifesting now in Jesus’ name. Your
ministry is about to take on a whole new dimension. You are about to start
walking in glory abilities and manifestations that you did not even think
were possible to have. You are going to walk in this inheritance. God does
not even require you to do a forty day fast for what he is releasing on you
now.
I decree an activation and impartation of your lineage. Your

lineage is being activated now. God will follow up this word with visions
and dreams. God is going to start speaking to you. And He is going to lead
you into the word where you will discover all that is in your spiritual
inheritance. I stir up the spiritual lineage and inheritance on your life. I
release what you have read upon your life right now in Jesus’ name!
You are receiving the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints!
You are manifesting the inheritance of your lineage!
Receive your Inheritance by Lineage, NOW, in Jesus’ name!
Now just go ahead and give God a shout of praise!
Hallelujah!
