Supernatural Increase and Multiplication

Author: Pastor Sandy Banks – 5/27/2012

Summary:

There is an attack on the economy; now, more than ever, Believers must know how to operate in the Kingdom of God's system. You have a covenant right to increase and favor. However, you must have knowledge of your covenant right to increase and favor before you'll press in on it. God has empowered you with the ability to get wealth and He cannot and will not alter His covenant.
