Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18  “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

FATHER clearly differentiates your two options of service and their results.  Wealth is for establishing HIS Covenant on earth.  If instead you serve mammon, you will surely perish.  It is that simple!

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 13:

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

FATHER expects us to have abundance resulting in our grandchildren having an inheritance.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

33  “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.

34 Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

We must renew our minds to this revelation Jesus spoke about.  The times ahead will be challenging for those who do not seek God’s Kingdom and HIS righteousness.  Our abundance will be the provision for our vision, our individual calling.  The widow and her son who provided food for Elijah were just as important as Joseph who provided food for a nation.  Don’t compare your calling to that of others.

Material possessions are not a sign of GOD’S blessings unless they are.  If your possessions are a result of serving GOD, then they are a sign.  You can’t judge another man’s harvest when you don’t know what kind of seed he planted or how much. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 9:

6  But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

FATHER promises to provide us with abundance, beyond meeting our needs.  My needs are different than yours so we should not compare ourselves to others.  We simply need to walk in the fear of THE LORD in all that we say and do.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 112:

1  Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments.

2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.

4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; He will gnash his teeth and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.

When we walk in the fear of THE LORD, we will properly serve HIM and establish HIS Kingdom on earth.

Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?

What are the two doctrines in the church that have probably caused the most contention among Christians?  Divine healing and finances.  I have had both operate in my life, so I have no issue with them.  I can testify to their reality. 

If the enemy can keep you sick and poor, he will severely limit your destiny.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

In other Words, the thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But Jesus came to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!  The overflow allows you to be generous to those in need and help them achieve their callings as well.

Did the ministry of Jesus supply the needs for his disciples during His 3 ½ year ministry?  Did they have more than enough to distribute to the poor?  What Jesus spoke in John 10:10 is the real Gospel.

Our Heavenly Father does not want us sick and poor!  What did Jesus pay for at the cross?  He came that we would have Life and that we may have it more abundantly.  Those are His Words, not mine.  Are we to minimize the payment made by Jesus Himself?  Not me!

We are called to be stewards.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:

42  And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom His Master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

44 Truly, I say to you that He will make him ruler over all that He has.

In other Words, “A Master will delegate authority in His House to a trustworthy and thoughtful manager who understands his Master’s desires. And the household manager will serve others what they need at exactly the right time.  And whenever His Master returns, He will find that His servant has served Him well. I promise you, the Master will reward him generously and he will be placed as an overseer of everything He owns.”

Jesus once again spoke in Luke chapter 16:

8   Jesus continued, “Remember this: The sons of darkness interact more wisely than the sons of light.

9 Use the wealth of this world to demonstrate your friendship with God by winning friends and blessing others. Then, when it runs out, your generosity will provide you with an eternal reward.

10 “The one who faithfully manages the little he has been given will be promoted and trusted with greater responsibilities. But those who cheat with the little they have been given will not be considered trustworthy to receive more.

11 If you have not handled the riches of this world with integrity, why should you be trusted with the Eternal treasures of the Spiritual World?

12 And if you’ve not proven yourself faithful with what belongs to another, why should you be given wealth of your own?  TPT

As we faithfully manage a little, we will be promoted to a higher level of trust.  We should be oriented toward multiplying and increasing.  Hoarding promotes the opposite.  Isaac was a great example of this Truth of multiplication and increase.

Moses recorded by The Spirit in Genesis chapter 26:

12  Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.

13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;

14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

Isaac understood sowing and reaping, receiving a hundredfold, shouldn’t we?  Don’t we have a better Covenant?  It is imperative that we steward our blessings to further The Kingdom.

There are no recessions in Heaven.  There is no debt in Heaven.  There is no scarcity in Heaven.  Thy Kingdom Come as Thy Will be done!

GOD has abundance whereas the enemy has a limited, restricted budget.

If having wealth is bad, why did satan take Job’s wealth from him once he got the chance?  What did FATHER do for Job at the end of Job’s testing?

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Job chapter 42:

7  And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these Words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job.

10 And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

12 Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

It is clear that the Nature of Our Heavenly Father is blessing and increase!

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.
