Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

8  “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

9-13 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come.

Your Will be done

On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer has been prayed countless times, yet many do not understand its importance and implications.  What do you think FATHER’S Throne Room looks like?  It has a sapphire floor.  The cost of such a floor on earth would be astronomical.  Heaven has no lack whatsoever, neither should we.  One revelation from Heaven concerning a new invention would be extremely valuable to the mature Son or Daughter in financing The Kingdom on earth.  There is no scarcity on earth as the world would have us believe.  The world creates a mindset of scarcity to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses.

What is keeping us from the resources required for our individual callings?  It is all about the mindset.  We must renew our mind to the prosperity of Heaven that is meant to come forth to those who believe.  We are not chasing after dollars, we are pursuing GOD WHO wants the fullness of our callings to come forth.  It is HIS Divine Intent that the provision for our vision comes forth.  We want to represent The King of Kings well.

Kingdom Wealth Builders will deploy resources to further The Kingdom.  They will exercise their faith and carry out their callings for the benefit of all.  They will not hoard but will be generous.  They will look for opportunities to bless others.  They look for opportunities of value in order to grow those opportunities into wealth for further deployment.  Just as in the Book of Daniel (1:17), they will walk in knowledge, skill, understanding, and Wisdom from Above.

There has been unscriptural, harmful teaching in the past from many pulpits.  That should not keep us from walking in the revelation of The Word in the area of finances. 

Jesus didn’t walk around broke for 3 ½ years.  He needed a treasurer to handle the finances.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 13:

21  When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”

22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

25 Then, leaning back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

If Jesus was not prospering, why would they need a money box?  Why would the disciples assume that Judas might be distributing to the poor?  They clearly saw Jesus distribute to those in need for this would not have been the first time money would be given to the poor.

Do you have money or does money have you?  Money is meant to be a tool for furthering the Kingdom and representing the generosity of Our Heavenly Father.

If you ignore the Truth about what FATHER says about finances, you are already in error.  Jesus did not die for the sickness and poverty gospel.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

19 And My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

In other Words: I am convinced that My God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through Jesus Christ!  And God our Father will receive all the glory and the honor throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!

Those needs include spirit, soul, and body… for nothing is left out!

Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?

The city of Babylon (Revelation 18), with all its avarice and greed, is a description of a world given over to the spirit of Mammon. Some scholars cite Mammon as the name of a Syrian and Chaldean god, similar to the Greek god of wealth, Plutus.  It was sometimes used to describe all lusts and excesses: gluttony, greed, and dishonest worldly gain. Ultimately, mammon described an idol of materialism,

Affluence is meant for influence, income is meant for impact, and prosperity has a GOD given purpose.

Being broke is a temporary financial condition whereas poverty only sees meager possibilities.  Hope from Above separates the two mindsets.

Prosperity means that you have no financial debt and you have more than enough resources to fulfill every Divine assignment FATHER has for you and enough left over to help others fulfill theirs.  You will have finances in proportion to your assignment which means that all believers are not called to be multimillionaires.

We trust FATHER to give us provision for our vision.  HE will not give us a calling without providing for the resources to fulfill that calling.  We must not allow our mindset to restrict HIS resources which are available and awaiting our acceptance.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 22:

13  Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

15 Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son-

17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.

18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

Jehovah Jireh is one of the Names of GOD so we need to expect HIS provision.  HE doesn’t expect us to beg for provision but instead we are to exercise our faith for righteous provision to fund our individual callings.  We must not compare our calling to someone else’s calling.  HE is the GOD of more than enough, not the god of scarcity!

Religion wants to keep us poor and unable to complete our callings.  Tests are not to keep us poor but are to strengthen us so that we can handle more.  In 1995-96, my wife and I went through an eighteen-month period I called a financial wilderness.  It was severe but I stood on faith that FATHER would not let us down.  At the end of the period, suddenly the finances returned, and we haven’t experienced lack since.

If FATHER can get money through you, then HE will get money to you… with plenty of money left over for your needs AND righteous desires.  A desire is good as long as it doesn’t promote idolatry.

FATHER is looking for those who love not the world and can be trusted with the things of the world to reach the people of the world and, bring forth HIS Kingdom to earth. 

FATHER wants people with resources who can hear HIM and will deploy those resources as directed by HIM.  The rich young ruler is tested concerning this Truth.

Jesus encountered him in Matthew chapter 19:

16  Now behold, one came and said to Jesus, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have Eternal life?”

17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into Life, keep the commandments.”

18 He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’

19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.’ “

20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect (fully mature), go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Did the young man truly Love his neighbor as himself?  Wouldn’t he have assisted the poor if he truly Loved them?  Do you think FATHER would have kept him penniless afterward?  No!

More to come…

Beware of diverse weights!

You and I must be aware of the redefining of words, laws, weights, and measures that are occurring rapidly in the current society.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 19:

35  ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume.

36 You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I Am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 ‘Therefore you shall observe all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them: I Am the LORD.'”

Any change or modification of weights, measures, words, or established judgments are unrighteous and therefore sin before THE LORD.  When a weight or measure is changed, one person is benefited at the expense of the other person.  This is the epitome of selfishness on the benefitting person.

Words are being redefined.  As an example, a woman is being reclassified as a “birthing person”.  A marriage has been diluted to “same-sex marriage”.  The Pope recently issued a public statement increasing the support of the LGBQTRS… perversion.  It appears that his Bible has omitted passages such as Romans chapter 1, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.

We are not here to condone the perversion that is widely spreading in the world.  We are to actively defend honest weights and measures.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 25:

13  “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light.

14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.

15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

16 For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.

FATHER is serious about the issue of differing standards.  Do you think HE will simply look the other way while men are cheating others?

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 16:

11 Honest weights and scales are the LORD’s; All the weights in the bag are His work.

In other Words, The Lord expects you to be fair in every business deal, for HE is the One Who sets the standards for righteousness.

The public has not realized that the government has redefined financial instruments owned by them.  Your bank deposits have been redefined as “claims” against the bank.  Instead of being first in line if the bank fails, you are subordinate to others’ claims.

If you don’t physically possess a share of stock, you only have a claim for that share.  We should all know that the physical currency we are possessing is actually a “Federal Reserve Note”.  U.S. Dollars were once backed by physical gold until August of 1971.  Now your money is purely backed by perception… until it isn’t.

One ounce of gold buys roughly the same good as it did one hundred years ago.  It is THE honest weight and measure.  Nefarious interests have been manipulating the price of gold (as well as silver) versus the dollar since 1971.  Food for thought.

Transgenderism is a plight on society.  You either have XX or XY sex chromosomes.  Your genetics don’t lie.  It is your soul that has been affected by perverse exposure of some type.  Surgery will not change reality.  We are surely in the last days of the last days.

This YouTube is worth watching:

Pay close attention to Mike’s defensive posture. He is one of many who have been warning of what they see coming.

Don’t be scared, be prepared for whatever happens in 2024. FATHER always has the last move!

Fiat currencies have a history of declining to zero value.

Virtual currencies depend on the Internet which can be shutdown at any time by the government and/or hackers.

Unless you have stock certificates in your physical possession, they are simply “Security Entitlements”.

Bank deposits are now legally “claims” that are subordinate to senior debt holders.

We live in interesting times and the only solution is Spiritual in nature!

Do something for someone who can’t pay you back. FATHER will then intervene for you. This is exactly why we help the kids in need who can’t repay us, knowing that our unconditional Love will be rewarded. The parable of the talents in Matthew chapter reveals this Truth:

Jesus spoke:

Matthew 25:14-21
“For the kingdom of Heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. [15] And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. [16] Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. [17] And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. [18] But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. [19] After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. [20] “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ [21] His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

29-30
‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. [30] And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

It is all about the intent of your heart and your own resources. Jesus did not compare servant #1 to servant #2. Both received their rewards consistent with the resources they were given to steward.

There are Laws that govern how the power of GOD flows!

HE established HIS Laws in Scripture and we are to abide by those Laws for our benefit in all areas, including finances.

If you are in a crisis, you may need a miracle.  Otherwise, you should expect the supernatural as you adhere to FATHER’S Laws.  FATHER’S best is for us to learn HIS Ways and cooperate with HIM and the Laws HE established.  Our finances should be governed by HIS Laws rather than that of the world.

FATHER does not want us to live from miracle to miracle.  HE wants us to live in HIS blessings.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 31:

8  And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

10 And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles,

11 when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

12 Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully observe all the words of this law,

13 and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to possess.”

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Proverbs chapter 24:

21  My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to change;

22 For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin those two can bring?

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ecclesiastes chapter 12:

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is the whole duty of man.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 1:

11  Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life-but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king-

12 Wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Joshua chapter 1:

8  This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

6  For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

Those who know the Scripture are without excuse.

2 Corinthians 7:1 TPT

Beloved ones, with promises like these, and because of our deepest respect and worship of God, we must remove everything from our lives that contaminates body and spirit, and continue to complete the development of Holiness within us.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 66:

1  This is what Yahweh says: “The Heavens are My Throne and the earth is My footstool. Where is the house you will build for Me? Where is the place where I will rest?

2 My Hand made these things so they all belong to Me,” declares Yahweh. “But there is one My Eyes are drawn to: the humble one, the tender one, the trembling one who lives in awe of all I say.

The Fear of THE LORD and our finances are tied together.  It is our choice to lay our finances before HIM so that HE can direct us in all our ways.

The enemy wants to steal, kill, and destroy your finances!              

Our Lord God Almighty is a GOD of recompense.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 16:

11 Honest weights and scales are the LORD’s; All the weights in the bag are His work.

In other Words:

The Lord expects you to be fair in every business deal, for he is the one who sets the standards for righteousness.

When I was young, I used to negotiate price, especially for cars.  When we bought our last house that FATHER picked out for us, I once again planned to negotiate for a better price.  FATHER spoke to me and said, “When you negotiate, you manipulate, and manipulation is not of ME.  Seek ME for the fair price and that is what you are to pay.”  I did just that and the owner accepted our offer.  Since then, I quit negotiating in any area.  I learned my lesson.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 25:

13  “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light.

14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.

15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

16 For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ecclesiastes chapter 5:

1  Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

2 Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

FATHER does not need our opinion in our daily activities, rather we need HIS Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to effectively our path.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah 66:

1  Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My Throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the House that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?

2 For all those things My Hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My Word.

Being led by THE SPIRIT includes your finances, their distribution, and their source.  As we trust in THE LORD and respond to HIS Voice, we will no longer be victims of the adversary’s attempts to steal our resources.
