Are things heading south in the September/October timeframe as many have suggested? The Dow Jones Industrial Average graph below would suggest a slow train wreck is occurring.
Will we have another “waterfall” in October?
In Luke chapter 24, we find some interesting Truths that were occurring through the transition form the Age of Passover to the Pentecostal Age:
44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Isn’t it interesting that the disciples had spent 3 1/2 years with Jesus yet He did not fully open their understanding to the big picture until Passover had been fulfilled. To say they had been in the dark is an understatement. Had they known what they were going to see and experience, their logic would have convinced them to stay at home rather than walk out the ministry with Jesus. FATHER’S Wisdom found it necessary to withhold revelation until the time of transition.
Do you think that while they were walking with Jesus and He was healing the sick they had any idea of their blindness? They didn’t know they were walking in the dark just as the officials of the church did not realize they had come face to face with the Son of the Lord GOD Almighty. How would we know for a certainty that we are transitioning into the Tabernacles Age? I would suggest that it is by specific signs following from the power given by FATHER. Jesus told the disciples what to expect as the transition occurred:
49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
HIS power produces direct results. Mankind has attempted to work up sign as a result of some action or word spoken. With the power of technology to discover information of events, one can point to some event to confirm a word spoken and claim responsibility for it. Each of us must individually discern whether FATHER’S fruit is being produced or some counterfeit has come forth. We must seek out and respond only to the genuine. We must not let our longing for the transition to cloud our observations. We must not be led by signs but signs should be following us as we are endued with power from on High.
The ultimate test of a visitation is when FATHER confirms with signs following as indicated in Mark chapter 16:
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Over the past four decades I have seen and experienced many Spiritual events and have also seen many events claiming to originate from the Throne Room. Once you see the real thing, it is much easier to discern what is counterfeit. In HIS great grace, FATHER has exposed fraud and deception so that when the real transition occurs, we are able to differentiate it from the “worked up” illusions of the transition.
I have been deceived in the past by ministry with subtle error attached to it. Since I am an Spiritual optimist, I am always expecting FATHER to be involved. To the pure, all things are pure. Mankind is easily swayed by enticing words that tweak their innermost desires. If you desire for a move of the Holy Spirit, those in error or deception will exploit that desire hoping to cause you to follow their views. Each of us must go to the Standard of Truth to determine the genuine from the counterfeit. We must not allow men’s passion for what they believe to sway us from the Truth. Good fruit is the ultimate test and we must not fail to test the path being presented to us.
All indications point to this being the time of transition and you can be assured that I will be inspecting fruit once again. In the big picture, the global economy is moving toward a day of reckoning. The political scene is populated with people who have no clue to solving the problems at hand. The weather have become more active and extreme. The Pentecostal Age continues in its attempt to resurrect past visitations.
Recently I have taken three trips as FATHER has directed and It appears that things are now happening related to this coming age. There have been specific confirmations causing me to move forward, otherwise I would have stayed home after the first trip. Additionally, my wife’s recent re-activation of seeing and hearing in the Spiritual realm after 19 years of dormancy are a clear, personal sign to me. I will faithfully walk out the path FATHER has me on for I know by several past prophetic visions and words what to expect as I move forward. I can look back and see that none of us were ready before now. By understanding you know not to pick the fruit early before its ripening.
I am encouraged by the fruit I see and there has been an awakening concerning the time of visitation. As this continues manifesting in the physical, I expect to see good fruit as a result. I expect signs to follow, not lead us. FATHER will confirm HIS Word and we simply need to be in agreement with HIM AND with no agenda of our own. The time of transition will prove to be exciting for those who embrace HIS Plan.
FATHER had me write a series titled “Now is the time” and I believe the intent of that series was to prepare those who have ears to hear for the time now at hand. I believe there is a visitation at hand just as there have been many examples of this in the Scripture. One such example is found in Luke chapter 19 as Jesus approached Jerusalem:
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,
42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,
44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
I have expressed in recent writings that I sensed an activation and authentication is now upon us. I do not know the breadth of this visitation in terms of geography or magnitude but if you also sense that this visitation is at hand then it is time to act. If you do not respond to your time of visitation, you will not enter into the first “squadron” who are called to raise the standard of Truth for the rest of the world to see and measure against. Each of us has a unique set of resources to bring forth for use in establishing the Kingdom. Some have inventions they have held back because they feared others would exploit or steal those inventions. Some have financial resources they have amassed without knowing where to deploy them. Others have expertise that is underutilized wondering why FATHER has not opened the door for that expertise to benefit mankind.
We have all gone through years of preparation awaiting the day of visitation and some have become dull of hearing. Those who have become lukewarm will not embrace the day of visitation but will become observers as it fully manifests. They will not be among the first group for once the door closes, it is shut and separates the first squadron from the others.
Recently my wife was awaken by sounds like the opening and/or closing of a squeaky set of large hinges. She got up and looked throughout the house and waited for the sound to occur again before she would wake me up. What she heard was in the Spirit realm and I believe it represent two events: one was the opening of a box that contained Aaron’s rod and the manna that had been removed from the Ark, the other was the beginning of the closing of the door to the first group of called out ones. We have been seeing many confirmations of activation and authentication in recent weeks at a personal level (including these trips called missions of Love). FATHER will show us something and then within minutes, hours, or days it will occur. There have been occurrences of HIS Presence evoking a reverential fear of shaking as well.
I share this to alert you to the fact that it is now happening and if you are sensing or experiencing similar events, you are not alone. The time of isolation and separation is coming to an end for those who are called to this visitation. Paul speaks of this visitation and activation in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
23 But each one in his own order (squadron): Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
I believe HIS Government is now forming on earth but not how man would expect it to form. When Love is fully manifested by a group who are in unity, FATHER is in their midst and HIS Government operates by the Law of Love. There is no need for endless rules and regulations to be instituted forcing those in the group into compliance. Simple questions such as “What should we do to be our brother’s keeper?” and “What can we do to bless this person?” will resolve which path to take on a daily basis. Greed and manipulation will not be the motivations of those who are called.
True Kingdom companies will form as a result of FATHER’S Divine Intent being implemented on earth. These companies will set the standard of conduct by which all companies will be compared. These companies will be profitable and will expand dramatically as people see the benefit of aligning themselves with FATHER’S Divine Intent. Other companies which have based their business model on worldly priorities will decline as these Kingdom companies overtake the land.
Each of us must ask the question “Am I all in?”. Some will hesitate and the door will close. Some will be afraid to step up and lay it all on the line. Others will fear for their future because they don’t think anyone else cares about meeting their needs. Some will hoard their resources just as Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5. At any rate, you have been alerted to the peril of not progressing. The only question will be which side of the door are you on.
As many others, we watched the lunar eclipse Sunday night turn into a blood moon. We brought out our binoculars and watched intently as the moon moved behind the earth. You only have to look up and focus on events such as this to consider FATHER’S incomprehensible majesty. So often we get caught up in our day-to-day grind that we forget the big picture and that FATHER has placed us in HIS creation ultimately to reflect HIS Character of Love.
Acts 9:31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
The fear of THE LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10) and the early church had this deep reverence as they multiplied. Think not that this fear was only for that time but it will again come forth in even a greater manner as judgment comes on the earth. A great shaking will come to earth and all of man’s systems and methods will disintegrate as this occurs:
Hebrews 12:25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The wood, hay, and stubble will be consumed as FATHER’S judgment spreads throughout the earth. Many have been expecting a Hollywood-style event at this time but I see judgment expanding as HIS Elect grows stronger and can appropriately transition into the fullness of their individual callings. The fame of HIS Incomprehensible Majesty will spread throughout the earth as mankind’s illusions and deceptions are revealed and shattered by HIS Truth spoken by HIS Elect with signs following.
Man’s technology is no match for FATHER’S resources and the angelic presence set aside for such a time as this. I have personally experienced the presence of an angel while sitting at a table with Martin Paulat and Carl Petty in Little Jack’s Restaurant in Minneapolis. In October of 1995 we were discussing the visions FATHER had given and an angel showed up at our table. I could not move my arms or legs, I was virtually paralyzed by the angel’s presence. The anointing was strong as we knew the second the angel arrived. “You will live and not die” was the angel’s message to me that evening. We all wiped away our tears afterward. FATHER’S Holy Presence was expressed by the angel. Technology is no match for the Creator of Heaven and earth.
Revelation 15:3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!
4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are holy.
For all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
What an exciting time to experience the majesty of Our Heavenly Father. There will be those who focus on HIS judgments and those of us who focus on HIS majesty with deep reverence. HIS Elect will walk in great faith and trust in HIM as HE orders the steps of the righteous. The elect will not expect HIM to bless their walk but instead will only walk according to what HE instructs for they are fully aligned to HIS Word, not their own thinking or reasoning.
Revelation 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—
7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
Acts 1:1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
What does the word “infallible” mean?
that from which something is surely and plainly known
on indubitable evidence, a proof
What does “indubitable” mean?
Impossible to doubt; unquestionable, undoubtable, indisputable, unarguable, undebatable,incontestable, undeniable, irrefutable, incontrovertible, unmistakable,unequivocal, certain, sure, positive, definite, absolute, conclusive,watertight, ironclad.
Today, there are many who would convince us that FATHER is squarely behind them as they speak and write words attributed to HIM. Ultimately there must be infallible proofs for us to be assured of what men are saying is truly from Above. This is where activation must be followed authentication. No one can be critical of those who believe what they are seeing is true yet we must be cautious not to get caught up “signs” they claim are attributable to their understanding.
We had a lunar eclipse last night known as a “blood” moon and will not have another one until 2033. People can attribute that to a prophetic word they are giving but we should look at the fruit to see if they are a true prophet or another false prophet. Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 7:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
FATHER’S Word overrides everyone else’s view of the current status. If HE tells you to go, go; yet if HE tells you to stay then by all means stay. It is so important that we purpose to fully hear HIM and respond accordingly. In an interview with Ben Bernanke on the CBS Sunday Morning Show, he admitted to the imminent meltdown of the financial system back in the 2007-2008 time frame. He also indicated that they didn’t realize that the housing bubble could possibly take down the system. What? Myself and plenty of others saw it coming. Either he was blinded, lying, or ignorant of the reality. By proclaiming that they were unaware of the seriousness of the problem, he justified the secrecy they operate under. Do you think men in power have your best interest at heart? This is just one reason why you must seek to hear FATHER’S Voice for HE always has your best interest at heart.
FATHER will confirm HIS Word with infallible proofs. If HE leads you to be involved with something or someone, HE will confirm HIS Word to you. We are in complex times and are being overloaded with information and much of it is of little enduring value. The Truth can become obscured by the excess of lies unless you base your position according to FATHER’S standard of Truth. By HIS Standard you can measure everything else presented to you.
Are you moved by your circumstances or have you fully placed your trust in FATHER? FATHER spoke through Isaiah chapter 55:
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it bear and sprout,
And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”
We have a certainty of FATHER’S Words coming to pass and you only have to view the stars and the planets to begin to comprehend the vastness of HIS faith-filled Words. As we hear, comprehend, and respond to FATHER’S Word in our lives, faith is produced and that which is spoken will manifest in the physical realm. As we walk in the fullness of HIS Divine Intent of Love and by HIS SPIRIT, our words have power which is backed by FATHER. HE looks over HIS Word to cause it to come to pass.
In Hebrews chapter 11, we find faith’s “Hall of Fame” where each of those included had to deal with their own weakness just like you and me. Moses killed a man yet FATHER still used him. Abraham feared for his life and called Sarah his sister rather than his wife yet FATHER still fulfilled his calling. Jacob was a manipulator yet FATHER changed his nature. The point is that once you align with FATHER’S plan, will, and purpose you are able to do great things in the area of your calling no matter what your past would suggest.
Once Love has corrected our walk, it is time for faith to be activated. The Pentecostal Age was known for there being “sin in the camp” thus FATHER removed many from the camp so HE could speak directly to them. It was necessary in many cases to separate oneself from the teaching of men’s doctrines in order for FATHER to show HIS Truth in Love. We don’t need to have a man or woman between us and FATHER, interpreting what FATHER is saying to us individually. Those who sit in the pews day after day have become lukewarm and have lost their passion. Others embraced the teaching on faith but mixed it with their selfish motives and consumed various blessings on their own lusts. Many were exposed who took this path.
When faith operates by Love, it is fully acceptable to FATHER and will produce good fruit. FATHER will activate and authenticate those who walk in this manner. The fruitfulness of their faith is directed toward the benefit of all of mankind, not for selfish reasons. When activation occurs, your views will be enlarged and you will walk accordingly. As the saying goes “ordinary men will do great things.” Expect FATHER to activate your faith today and let not your circumstance dictate your walk.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
What a simple Truth to our walk- we should glorify Our Heavenly Father by our good works and that should be the standard by which we assess our works. Do your works, actions, and words glorify you or FATHER? Do you represent HIS Character?
Each day we have the opportunity to be a blessing to others or just another encounter similar to what people usually see. If we are to arise to HIS high calling of chosen Sons, we should have good works as fruit. We should have a light that draws men toward what we have rather than repel them. As our Love for mankind grows, so will the attraction.
Who is your provider? If we truly believe Our Heavenly Father is the source of our provision, then we will walk accordingly. Each of us have been given unique gifts that will promote our calling and our provision and we need to simply embrace the path FATHER selected for us before HE formed us in the womb. Not everyone is called to be a prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, or apostle. Some are called to be bricklayers, cooks, or other important positions.
In Genesis 41, the chief butler to Pharaoh provided a critical connection for Joseph to come into the fullness of his calling to save mankind from famine..
2 Samuel 5:11 Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built David a house.
Those carpenters and masons had been prepared by FATHER to become excellent in their trade so that they would be chosen to build the House of David. What a privilege. Each of us has an ordained walk uniquely designed for our gifts. Let us simply embrace what FATHER has set before us.
Our words should line up with those good works as well. Our confession should express FATHER’S Divine Intent in our life and if it does, we can be assured of expressing this Truth by faith before the full manifestation.
Acts 9:36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.
As your good works increase, you are able to give to others. Our Heavenly Father is the greatest example of a Giver and we should follow HIS example! If you are unable to be a cheerful giver, it is time to reassess your thinking and your path. Look at your own fruit to see if it is lacking. Paul wrote in 2 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,
I challenge you to dwell on this passage and critically assess your current state. If you are in lack and unable to be a blessing to others then maybe there is something that needs to change in your situation. Your own reasoning may be holding you back from accessing FATHER’S resources reserved for your use. Whatever is holding back good works in your life must be removed in order for the flow to come forth. Think about it!
To inform you of what seasoned financial professionals are seeing today:
In responding to a question about where the global system is at today, Bill Holter responded:
This is a great question. We can give you our opinion but it is just that, opinion. No one has an all seeing crystal ball. We do believe the next crash will be the “final crash” that sweeps away the current Western financial system. The problems as you know are numerous, too much debt on all levels, undercapitalized banks and brokers in relation to assets carried, grossly bloated derivative balances and counterparty risk, not to mention the fact that no currency in the world is anything more than a “promise to pay” …more of that very same currency.
We believe what will come very (and is happening now before your very eyes) soon is a “holiday” but not the “fun type”. Markets, banking, credit and thus distribution of goods will break down. A re set of prices and relative values will emerge along with new currencies aplenty. We think the key to the re opening of markets will hinge on how fast new currencies are brought forth and whether they are trusted. Any new currency will need “confidence” to be accepted by the masses. “Confidence” will be gold! Gold has been coming back into the system for years, not away from.
The last 4 years has been a last gasp effort on the part of central banks to retain the current system and push gold away from it. The West has substantially lost gold to the East and the reason why we believe the East will emerge as “wealthy” and why the West will need to get “back to work” to better a crashed standard of living. This will take many years if not several generations to accomplish.
As for “preparing”, move as quickly as you can and do the best you can do. No matter who, how smart, or how wealthy you are, you will forget or miss something. DO NOT beat yourself up! You are at least awake and aware of what is coming, can you imagine yourself completely unaware and thus not prepared for anything at all? Just do the best you can do, it is all you can ask of yourself. Good luck and Godspeed to all!
As Bill said, it is just an opinion.
In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), Jesus brought forth the Beatitudes and then He said:
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
How do you let your light shine? By doing good works. As you do, you glorify FATHER. You should be determined to produce excellence in whatever you do, not just barely meeting minimum requirements. What are works?
The word “works” is defined as:
business, employment, that which any one is occupied
that which one undertakes to do, enterprise, undertaking
any product whatever, any thing accomplished by hand, art, industry, or mind
an act, deed, thing done: the idea of working is emphasized in opp. to that which is less than work
Each of us have been given certain gifts to excel in. Most likely you began to be drawn to your gift at an early age and if encouraged by your loved ones, you have continued on that path. Some of you have suppressed your gifts because of outside forces expecting you to perform in another area. You have more than one gift and they will promote your calling as you enter into its fullness.
The word “good” is defined as:
beautiful, handsome, excellent, eminent, choice, surpassing, precious, useful, suitable, commendable, admirable
beautiful to look at, shapely, magnificent
good, excellent in its nature and characteristics, and therefore well adapted to its ends
genuine, approved
precious
joined to names of men designated by their office, competent, able, such as one ought to be
praiseworthy, noble
beautiful by reason of purity of heart and life, and hence praiseworthy
morally good, noble
honorable, conferring honor
affecting the mind agreeably, comforting and confirming
Don’t just scan the above words but dwell and meditate on them. Within the understanding of these words is a key to success in your life. Your success is customized by FATHER specifically for you and it is unique for each of us. If you are called to be a nurse, you should be known as the best nurse in your area. If you are called to be a brick mason, you should develop a reputation of being a master mason. Focus on your calling for it is where your “good works” is found.
When you do good works it positively impacts other people and they want to know what motivates you. It becomes your platform to share FATHER’S Love with them. If you sit on your posterior all day doing nothing, you will reap what you sow… nothing. It’s time to be a light unto the world and shine with what FATHER has gifted you with. Are you “retired”? Get out of retirement. Is your house in disrepair? Fix it up with whatever resources you have. Move toward excellence in your life. Remove the clutter and that which you don’t use any more and is still viable, ask FATHER who HE would have you to give it to.
People have moved into the self-consuming attitude of entitlement. They think the rest of the world owes them. Let your good works be the “salt” and the light for them to see.
Jesus spoke the above words that apply today just as they applied when He first spoke them. Where did He get those words? From FATHER. These spoken words are not my opinion for I am simply a messenger to remind us all to not grow weary of doing good. Let these words encourage you to fulfill your purpose. Yes, we all have challenges and can get in a rut but you need not stay there. Revitalize your commitment to good works today and be a blessing. Walk in your calling to do good works which have been uniquely assigned to you by FATHER.
One only has to stand back and look at the big picture to see futility all around us. What is false, people now call truth. The Supreme Court redefines marriage. When does life begin for a child? Perverseness is now called acceptable and the list grows long. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 3:
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
20 and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
This passage describes the “wise” of today who think they have everything under control. Their blindness will soon be exposed by judgment upon the nations. Greed is at the root of the current path toward destruction and men will manipulate any situation to improve their financial position because they believe in a world of scarcity rather than one of abundance. They believe they must seek out a position where leverage can help them reach their goal. They have no trust in Our Heavenly Father and HIS assigned calling on their life. These are vessels of dishonor.
The more there is at stake, the more subtle greed becomes. The Age of Pentecost has seen the subtleness of the love of money. Men no longer believe that FATHER is the supplier of resources but rely on their own prowess to provide what they seek. The result is an insatiable desire for more and it is never fulfilled. What is the solution? If greed represents lawlessness and futility, the Love and cheerful giving represent righteousness. If you ever hope to overcome your scarcity mentality, you must learn to be a cheerful giver and continually reinforce this walk. It cannot be mandated and forced upon you as the church has attempted countless times. Greed will reason away any attempt to take this narrow path toward righteousness. This is because you really don’t trust FATHER to be your Provider. When given the opportunity, your left brain will analyze and reason away any instruction to give.
In 2 Corinthians chapter 9 we find a specific Truth that cannot be ignored:
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.
My household has consistently applied this reality in our lives for years and you can be sure we have been tested in this area. I know firsthand that when I respond to FATHER’S instruction to give, I partake of HIS abundance of resources. As I write, the universe continues its expansion, new stars and planets are being created, yet mankind continues fighting over resources controlled by the few.
Do you purpose in your heart to give? Be truthful. Your bank account reflects what is in your heart. Actions speak louder than words. I write these words to provide to reveal a simple Truth to deal with lack in your life. This Truth is counterintuitive to what your left brain is telling you. Your soulish man would tell you that you must hoard money and things for the future whereas the above Truth tells you to sow into others and you will be reap bountifully. Those who will be chosen out of the “called” will have received the fullness of this revelation. Do you think FATHER will select those who reap sparingly to establish HIS Kingdom? The nice thing about writing a blog, I know the reader is not compelled to take action as a result. If you were in a congregation where all eyes are on the offering plate, you would have peer pressure. In this case, only you and FATHER know what action you will take… or fail to take.
You must alone assess what is in your heart. Those currently in control are blind to the Truth that will soon be unveiled and they will realize the futility in the path they have chosen. When their barns have been burned up and they have lost all they trusted in, they will experience great sorrow and regret. This Holy fire will remove the chaff in people’s lives.
