FOREWORD

The hour in which we live and the season the church has moved to has caused transition, change, and adjustments in many ranks in Christiandom. God is moving the church from operating in the arenas of the flesh, tradition, and the club-like mentalities. In this hour of the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost is rearranging and dismantling the constructs of human flesh. Anyone with any spiritual insight can see God repositioning His people in His places for His purpose. There is a move of God now where this rearranging is placing the people of God in positions of influence and affluence all for one purpose, the establishment and release of His Kingdom in the earth.

Many who try to do what God is calling them to do in their own strength, depending on their denominational and political connections, will be left in the yesterday of the Glory of God; while the cloud of Glory will have passed by them into the tomorrow of the next dimension in God. The master key to what God uses to advance His Kingdom in power, prosperity, and dominion, is and has always been through Covenant Connections and Divine Associations. This supernatural principle is a revelation that must become widely understood, embraced, and implemented if true multiplication is to take place in the Kingdom of God.

The day of flesh connections, political connections, fake connections, and superficial connections is over. These kinds of connections do nothing to move things in the Spirit and they do nothing to increase the Anointing on the lives of Gods people. We, the body of Christ, must pray, pursue, and supernaturally connect to those leaders, mentors, and even spiritual fathers, to help release the vision we already have locked up within our womb.

In this book, Bishop Daniel Robertson, Jr. has been given revelation on how to plug into the Anointing that should be taught all across the Body of Christ. God has endowed Pastor Robertson with revelatory wisdom in this area, and it has caused tremendous growth in his ministry, a very strong presence of Anointing in his church, and a supernatural increase in ministry finances. Every Pastor, every church leader, and every church member should be strongly encouraged to make this a must read for the increase of this Kingdom Revelation.

Bishop Antonio D. Thomas

CHAPTER

DIVINE CONNECTION:
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

(Ecclesiastes 1:9)

What would you do if you were suddenly disconnected from God? How would you respond if you were immediately detached from His presence, His anointing, His joy, His peace, or His blessings? These questions may seem strange to some and even stranger to others, but God has given each of us certain key principles whereby we can either receive much or receive little. Through divine revelation, I will show you how to receive much from God through the principle of divine connection.

The Anointing Is Already in the Earth

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The bible goes on to say, And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2). Here we see the very first demonstration of the anointing or power of God, for it was by this same anointing that all things were created that are in heaven, and that are in the earth, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16). Subsequent to this great manifestation of Gods power, God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness (Genesis 1:26). God was preparing for Himself a vessel (Adam) through which His power could operate.

We see an outward sign of an inward working of Gods power by way of what we can call Adams first job in the garden. When God brought all the beast of the field and every fowl of the air unto Adam to name, this was an unmistakable demonstration of the power of God operating in Adam. Adam was just created. How could he have possibly known how to even articulate the names of every living creature had it not been for Gods anointing? It had to be Gods power working in him before the names could come out of him. How else would he be able to give names to the hippopotamus, the elephant, the giraffe, the dinosaur, or to all the living creatures he named?

Ephesians 3:20 lets us know that just as Gods Power was in Adam, HIS POWER ALSO WORKETH IN US. All God needs is a vessel.

Since there is no new thing under the sun, as it was with Adam, so it is with us. God knew that His purpose could not be fulfilled in the earth unless He chose and anointed one of His servants to do His work. All of the anointing that God has for us is waiting to be imparted. We must learn how to tap into that anointing so we can receive our blessings.

Gods desire to bless us, coupled with His great compassion, moved Him to establish a divine principle that will enable us to receive all of the blessings He has laid up for us. This principle, which I call divine connection, brings blessings into our lives. The blessings start to flow when we stay closely connected to the anointing that God has placed in the earth through His chosen servants such as pastors.
