It is as important to receive from Our Beloved Father as it is to give according to HIS expressed Word. When we give to the poor, FATHER takes on that liability to not only repay us for our giving, but to abundantly bless us for our willingness to give to others who are in need.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
17 And since we are HIS true children, we qualify to share all HIS treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God Himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.
When we crucify our flesh which includes the idol worship of money (aka greed), we qualify as joint-heirs with Jesus Christ Himself. We have the authority to not only share in the co-glorification aspect of being HIS true children, but we also qualify to share all HIS treasures.
Religion has trouble grasping this Truth because they have no experience in walking as true children. They have head knowledge but no fruit from “heart” knowledge. They rationalize away Scriptures similar to verse 17. They are clouds without rain.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 1:
3 Everything we could ever need for life and Godliness has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness.
FATHER anticipated what resources we would need in order to fulfill HIS Divine Intent that HE deposited in us before we were formed in the womb. Those resources are on deposit similar to cash in a bank account awaiting our withdrawal. If you don’t know you have the resource, you will not attempt to access it. The Holy Spirit wants you to access ALL resources available from FATHER.
4 As a result of this, He has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the Divine Nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.
A partner is one who shares or partakes with another. What better partner to have than Our Heavenly Father! The only problem we have had as HIS true children is that we have not realized the full benefits of being a partaker of HIS Divine Nature.
FATHER made the decision real simple when HE spoke in Deuteronomy chapter 30:
19 I call Heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may Love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
People only choose death because they are blinded and cannot hear. When I pray in The Holy Spirit, my eyes and ears become very sensitive to the resources available to me from FATHER. Doors start opening up and blessings begin to flow.
As I spend time in The Word, understanding and Wisdom flows from Above and I am able to see the steps to take for that day. Those steps lead to life and fulfillment. The decision is simple… choose life and prepare to receive from Our Beloved Father.
