INTRODUCTION
The Biblical phenomenon of Translation by Faith is happening all over the world in ever increasing measure as God prepares to bring in the end-time harvest for the Kingdom. We dont have to look too far or too hard to find example after example of modern day servants of the Lord giving testimony to being caught away not only to Heavenly places but places all over the world to preach the gospel, heal the sick and minister Gods will.
One of the great things that God is also doing is confirming these events of translation by faith with signs and wonders to remove doubt and unbelief and to bolster the faith of those who are willing to say Yes Lord. Much like Isaiah in the book of Isaiah chapter six, many are saying Here am I Lord, send me!
To that end and in fulfilling the mandate given by the Lord to teach translation by faith for end-time ministry, this workbook was created to help lead you through the processes and help you to lay hold of this Biblical present day reality.
This workbook will take you through a natural progression of removing the things that might hinder you to building a solid foundation from the Word of God to taking steps of faith to see this begin to manifest in your own life. Many of you are already seeing God do amazing things and He is doing this for a reason! He is preparing you for greater!
This Translation by Faith Workbook, is built in such a way so that it may be used as a stand-alone resource for an individual. This workbook is also designed so that any group pursuing this may go through the material and exercises together and of course this material is also presented in the Walking in the Supernatural schools done around the world. Please know that there is an anointing on this material and we have prayed and asked God to take you further than you have ever dreamed to experience all that God has for you as you lay hold of what He is doing in preparing you for Translation by Faith.
**Because this workbook is in Kindle format , it will be necessary to also have a notebook or two on hand to do the written parts which are the important steps of faith.
PREFACE
Translation by Faith
Can a man be translated by faith? It seems that the deep things of God and the questions surrounding them seem to continually unfold. For every answer we discover, new questions arise. The revelation of God is eternal and inexhaustible and we will be learning more and more about our God throughout eternity.
Many of the questions we face, particularly about translation by faith, we need the answers to now. Its a part of being diligent and discerning. Questions like Is there precedent in the bible? Did God do this in times past? Does He do it now? Are there scriptures to prove this by the Word? Will he use someone like me? Am I qualified? What about deceptions? Is it dangerous to seek spiritual things? And the list goes on and on. There is always a list of questions that come when God moves supernaturally. Some are legitimate and are born of the Holy Spirit to keep us safe. Some are born of the enemy to keep us from moving in and walking in the supernatural power of God.
Many people believe we have a supernatural God but then are uncomfortable when He actually does something supernatural. We have to get a hold of the fact that God is God and He will do things that dont fit neatly in a religious box. We as believers are not normal people by definition either. We are new creation beings, born of God and seated at the right hand of the Father in Christ. This is a literal positioning. The normal view of Christian life is vastly different. It looks more like people trying to live good lives while believing in Jesus and going to church once or twice a week, but fitting in normally with the world around them at large. That is not us.
God will use you to do astounding things. He will do things that challenge you and stretch you but He doesnt seem to force it on anyone. If you pursue Him He wont disappoint you. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. That is really one of the most powerful things that bring about the manifestation of the reality of God in our lives. Its not a knowledge that there is a God, but a passionate pursuit of God and setting our sites on those things that are above. That is our focus and our reason for being. To know Him.
A PRAYER
Father, As we seek to know you and your will in our lives, as we desire to lay hold of all those things that Jesus paid such a high price to give to us, let your Holy Spirit lead us and guide us into all truth. Father cover us in the blood of Jesus and set a hedge about us to keep us safe in the center of your will. Let your angels have charge over us and according Colossians 1:9, let Wisdom, Revelation and Knowledge of your will be established in us . Father teach us about this thing called translation by faith. We yield to you and your will. Teach us and give us lessons and experiences every day. Make the supernatural things of your Kingdom normal to us. Teach us to move supernaturally through time and space for the cause of the Gospel, and help us to lay down all the weights that would so easily beset us. Let your Kingdom come, let your will be done.
A DECREE
From my position in Christ at Gods own right hand, I decree that I am loosed from the power and influence of the devil. I decree that all deaf and dumb spirits must go and all spirits of spiritual blindness must go. I loose myself from all doctrinal error and all teaching that would hinder and block my relationship with God. I call for Gods light to fill me to overflowing and dispel all darkness. I declare that I am light just like my Heavenly Father. I receive everything that the Lord has for me without reservation.

BUILDING ON A FIRM FOUNDATION
As we pursue and learn about translation by faith, or anything of the Kingdom really, its very important the we be grounded in the Word of God and have a firm foundation. There are core beliefs and truths that keep us anchored as we move deeper into the meat of the scriptures.
Unlike merely learning to memorize scripture or learning about the history of Bible characters, learning about the supernatural things of God presents a bit of a greater challenge. Because the church in general has had very little instruction about such things, we must have a Plumb line to keep us true. The plumb line we have is of course the Word of God, but it is also the inward witness of the Holy Spirit and the testimony of saints who have lived lives unto God with fruit to prove it.
Having a solid salvation, a solid understanding of the word and a solid commitment to Christ, gives us the foundation to pursue the supernatural things of the Bible with fearless confidence and assurance as we stay in Gods will. If our motivation is Christ, it leaves very little room for error and deception from the enemy.
We cannot teach the supernatural things of God without making clear those requirements that we must embrace to make us like a rock, anchored to the rock, the Lord Jesus Christ.
