To all handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:

...."So Jonathan told David saying, 'Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. Now therefore, please be on guard in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself'"....
1 Samuel 19:2

In light of the lateness of the hour, and the "civil war" that is even now intensifying in the midst of God's people, this scripture provides a strong admonition for all those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom. We are well familiar with the story of Saul and how he forsook the fulness of his destiny - through a holding to a "seeking after" the approval (praises) of man (fear of man), and how God then anointed David - a man after His own heart - to secure the fulness of destiny for Israel in the days ahead. Saul is a type and symbol of the "carnal" Christian - those children of God who have, in some way, held part back from God, and thus - in order to establish their own agendas - they (unknowingly) "maintain" a fear of man which continually supercedes the true (holy) reverence of God that each and every last Christian walking the face of this earth is called to abide in. This is a most tragic thing, and it is not something that those who truly love God from the position of a heart "wholly given" should take lightly. First and foremost, it is our ongoing task to set ourselves in perfect love and obedience before the Lord on their behalf - that perhaps they might be led into a deep and thorough repentance before Him. But the reality of the situation is this: in this most critical hour there will be those who refuse to forsake their heart-rebellion before God, and thus they will "allow" themselves to be used as "vessels of persecution" toward those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom. Again, our task is to walk in love at ALL cost to ourselves and continually bless those who persecute us - in any way, shape or form. And so, as Jonathan delivered the word that Saul was seeking to put David to death he spoke words that also apply to us today. As he said to David, "please be on guard in the morning" we can see a clear reference for us as to the importance of the "inner chamber" - our time of intimate fellowship with the Father and His Word beginning each day. And, secondly, Jonathan said, "Stay in a secret place and hide yourself". It is in the secret place of the Father's presence that we are hidden, and that He becomes a strong refuge to us and for us - regardless of any "outward" circumstances. It is as the child of God "maintains" this perfect spiritual positioning - day in and day out - that they shall SURELY be protected, they shall SURELY overcome in all things and they shall NEVER be found ignorant of Satan's schemes against them. This is a most serious hour! For it is certain that all things pertaining to the advent of the Glorious Church must take place in the fulness of all that the Father intended. And so, let each and every one of us be found ready - guarding our heart with ALL diligence - through the perfect establishment of our daily time in the "inner chamber". Let it be said of us - by the Father, Himself, that we are indeed men and women after His own heart.

IT HAS BEEN AN INTENSE REFINING PROCESS

For many years now those who have been faithful to the will of God for their life and ministry have gone through an intense refining process - a process aimed at both exposing and consuming every ground of fear (doubt, mistrust, unbelief) and unforgiveness (pride) with holy fire. While this process (chastening) has "seemed" extremely difficult at times it is certain that all those who have been faithful to humble themselves under the loving hand of the Father shall experience the superabundant fruits of peace and righteousness (perfect and continual reconciliation and right-standing with the Father, holiness) in this hour.

MULTIPLIED HARM SHALL BEFALL SATAN AND HIS FORCES

These are the days in which the fruit of EVERY act of obedience and faithfulness on the part of the children of God shall manifest (come forth powerfully) in ways that are far beyond the comprehension of any form of "natural" thinking or perception. The attacks against the faithful ones of God will not only be overcome perfectly but, in the aftermath, multiplied harm shall befall Satan and his forces, and the schemes and strongholds they have - up until this time - used to control many in the church at large. Because of these things, many captives shall be gloriously set free and they shall enter into the perfect liberty that is the heritage of all those who are truly "in Christ".

THE IMPACT OF THE REMNANT CHURCH IN THIS FINAL HOUR WILL SUPERCEDE BY FAR ANY IMPACT THAT THE CHURCH HAS MADE IN THE PAST TWO THOUSAND YEARS

The impact of the remnant Church in this final hour will supercede - by far - any impact that the church has made in the past two thousand years. While we can praise God for every righteous word spoken and every righteous action carried out - before this most glorious hour - we must set ourselves (through acclimatization in the presence of God) to perfectly hold fast the ever-expanding vision for the Glorious Church that the Father is revealing to all those who are pure in heart.

THE APPOINTED SEASON HAS ARRIVED

To all those who feel as though they have hit some sort of major barrier or impasse: Do not let go of the revelation (vision) that the Father has blessed you with for this truly is the fulness of time and the appointed season has arrived. If you will remain pure of heart you shall surely enter into the fulness of your destiny and you shall experience - at the hand of the Father - exceeding abundantly beyond all that you could have ever thought or asked for this side of Heaven.

EIGHT-FOLD ATTACK OF THE ENEMY AGAINST THE REMNANT CHURCH IN THIS HOUR:

1. spirit of fear; [fear of man]

2. spirit of unforgiveness;

manifesting in:

3. spirit of rebellion;

4. spirit of self-exaltation;

5. spirit of haughtiness;

6. spirit of control;

7. spirit of emasculation (female)
spirit of domination (male);

8. spirit of treachery; (unfaithfulness)

Due to the severe nature and intensity of this eight-fold attack it is of the utmost importance for every Christian to continually place themselves in the position wherein the Holy Spirit is best enabled to do the deepest work of the Cross in them. The key to overcoming this attack victoriously (and of course not allowing oneself to be used as a vessel of persecution themselves) is for one to "allow" EVERY ground of fear and pride to be confronted - through a continual adherence to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit in obedience. Time in the "inner chamber" is the key to the personal liberty and freedom that is necessary for one to ABIDE in love and to overcome in ALL things.

THE IMPORTANCE OF "BRINGING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE

Bringing every thought captive to a revelation of God's word (will) is not only the key to one abiding in perfect obedience it is also the way we keep our spirit man in a position of continual dominance over our soul (mind, will and emotions) and body. This is the way of the Kingdom - and the only way into the fullness of destiny.

Let us hear the words of the Father:

"BEWARE THE SPIRITS OF TREACHERY (UNFAITHFULNESS)"

...."Tell My people to beware the "spirits of treachery" (unfaithfulness) that are even now being "unleashed" (sent) by the hordes of Hell against all those whose hearts are "wholly given" to Me - through those of My children who are maintaining self-agenda of any kind"....

"resentment" - anger and ill-will in view of real or fancied wrong or injury; unforgiveness;

"treachery" - a violation of allegiance, confidence, or faith; unfaithfulness;

"ONLY I KNOW WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE MINISTERED IN ANY GIVEN SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES"

...."Only I know what is needed to be ministered in any given set of circumstances and only the one who abides in My Word and fellowships with Me will truly be able to minister My "indignation". For to those who walk with Me I have revealed the depths of My heart. And to those who allow their "emotions" to rise above their spirit, they cannot, and will not, be given any authority to put forth My Word; for in giving the Evil One ground, they would enable him to twist the word which is put forth, thus leading many of my flock astray"....

"SATAN WILL BE GIVEN NO OPPORTUNITY TO WORK"

...."My children need to realize first and foremost as they set out to do those tasks I have placed before them, that their battle is not against "flesh and blood"! As My children have this portion of My Word revealed to them by My Spirit they will no longer be hindered or defeated, for they will no longer rely on their five physical senses, and Satan will be given no opportunity to work. Truly I say to you when one does not seek to rely on their five physical senses, they shall rely wholly on My Word and "then" they will walk in perfect accordance with My Will and nothing shall sway them"....

"GIVING IS A MATTER OF THE HEART"

...."Giving is a matter of the heart. The giving and receiving of material things is only the manifestation of it in the physical realm. For it is the obedience of the heart I desire"....

"EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH HAPPENS IN THIS LAST HOUR WILL CLEARLY BE SEEN AS A DIRECT RESULT OF OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE TO MY WORD"

...."Evil tidings" (Psalm 112) are those tidings which come directly as a result of an attack by the Evil One on a person, and are brought to the child of God with the sole purpose of getting that believer to act on or meditate in fear, Satan being behind the whole operation. It is for this reason that, in this last hour, My children must establish their hearts in My Word. Every circumstance which happens in this last hour will clearly be seen as a direct result of obedience or disobedience to My Word"....

"THEY (SATAN AND HIS FORCES) HAVE NO OFFENSE OR DEFENSE AGAINST THEM"

...."Satan and his forces are in real trouble when they come up against a child of God who has "revealed knowledge" of the fact that their struggle is NEVER against flesh and blood; for they have no offense or defense against them. For surely those who have this knowledge will wield continually the sword of the Spirit, which is My Word"....

MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:

+ The "preacher" is the golden pipe through which the Divine oil flows. The pipe must not only be golden, but open and flawless, that the oil may have a full, unhindered, unwasted flow. Preaching is not the performance of an hour or two. It is the outflowing of a life. It takes "twenty" years to make a sermon, because it takes twenty years to make the one giving it. The true sermon is a thing of life. A sermon grows because the one giving it grows. The sermon is forceful because the one giving it is forceful. A sermon is holy because the one giving it is holy. The sermon is full of the Divine unction because the one giving it is full of the Divine unction.

+ The key to releasing God's blessing upon your finances is in developing your relationship with Him, where you are faithfully walking in absolute obedience to the Divine pattern He has established in His Word.

+ If you are going to move under God's supernatural provision, you must be able to "see beyond" the natural. Never get embarrassed about what God tells you to do, no matter what you have to suffer or bear from unbelieving people. They are not your "source" or your salvation. When God does not answer you back when you talk to Him out of fear, know that He meant what He said the first time He said it!

+ God is looking for a people who are willing to be obedient and deny themselves. God is looking for an end-time people that will be totally sold out to Him - spirit, soul, body and financially. He is looking for a people who are going to walk in 100% obedience!

+ True prosperity is the abundance of God's blessing, both spiritual and temporal. It is total provision - continual supply!

+ Before you can break out of the financial bondage and receive the great financial increase that God desires to give you, you must come to a position where you do not doubt or mistrust Him in ANY way!

+ Subjectively it is the work of the Spirit of God to apply to us the "power" of Christ's death and resurrection; to bring us "inwardly" into correspondence with our "position" in Christ - crucified, buried, risen, and ascended in the Redeemer. The "objective" and "subjective" aspects must both be made real to the child of God by the power of the Holy Spirit, if "life out of death" is to be known in practical reality.

+ He will be easily content and brought to peace, whose conscience is clean. You are not more holy if you are praised, nor the baser if you are reviled. You are what you are in proportion to your "obedience" to God. Nor can you be called better than what you are in God's estimation. Man looks upon the outward appearance but God upon the heart. Man considers deeds but God weighs the heart's desires.

+ The "gratification" of one's flesh causes "unnecessary" spiritual hardship!

+ To walk with God in spirit and not to be held by any affection outside, is the state of a "spiritual man". *****

As you crossed the threshold into this new day, being faithful to answer the call I have brought you into a broad place and My favor rests upon you. You are coming forth from the wilderness singing and rejoicing with a new joy, confidence and boldness arising within your heart. You are shining like the Son, burnished like glistening gold.

Yes, fully yielded to Me, obedient and arrayed in My glory My bride shall wield the sword and carry the scepter of financial power throughout the nations, as together we bring in the final harvest.

LOVE WISDOM - INHERIT WEALTH

Andrew Bullians
andrew@mayholdings.com

fourwindsfinancial-subscribe@MyInJesus.com


Proverbs 8: 20 – I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice 21 – That I may cause those who love me [Wisdom] to inherit (true) wealth and that I may fill their treasuries. (Amplified Bible)

Most of us who have been called to the stewardship of Kingdom Finances, realize that it is a task that can only be done by the Spirit of God and not by us in our own might or strength. In Zechariah 4:6, when the Lord of Hosts says to Zerubbabel, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol]” (AMP), this refers to the need to have a ceaseless supply of new oil, or anointing, poured upon us by the Holy Spirit. There are new revelations every day (new manna from heaven) that keep us ahead of the financial markets and out of the world’s way of doing business and trade. I find it very interesting that God declares this to Zerubbabel, whose name means “shoot of Babylon or one called out of Babylon.”

When I started to understand that every circumstance in my life was ordained and orchestrated by God, to mold me into His workmanship, for the “good works He has already prepared for me” (see Eph 2:10), I realized that for God’s eternal glory and purpose, I was in the “financial Babylon”. Then, as He lovingly drew me out of Babylon (what we would call the “world’s system”), I knew that the knowledge and skills that I had learnt would be used by the Holy Spirit for a purpose greater than my own.

The past season of preparation I have mentioned in prior “Perspectives,” has been one in which I have been drawn out of Babylon to learn a new and higher way – the King’s Way. During that time, His emphasis was in helping me to understand the power of the Holy Spirit in my life, and the position I have as an heir of God, and joint-heir with Christ Jesus, our King.

Over the last weekend, while re-reading some of my old journal notes, I came across the following, “When a King bestows a title (knighthood, lordship) on a person, the person then has authority over all lands and property assigned to that title…” It is like a grant that the knight or lord received for his loyalty and allegiance to his King. If we take this one step further and understand that we are called “kings” (see Rev 1:6), and Jesus is our King of kings, then we receive lands and titles as a matter of inheritance. In other words, we have a right to these lands and titles based solely on our birthright, as a son or daughter of God. We come into the title’s full authority as we mature, and show that we are loyal to our King and only do that which will be to the benefit of the Kingdom. The full extent of this authority can only be given or withheld by the King, and depends on our love and obedience.

The wise men recognized Jesus as the Coming King and brought tribute in the form of gold, frankincense and myrrh. This represented a token inheritance that had been due to, and prepared for, Jesus as the savior of the world. Likewise, King David’s son Solomon, inherited all the provisions from his father to build the temple of God. We see this in David’s prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:18 and 19 – “O Lord…keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the minds of Your people, and direct and establish their hearts toward You. And give to Solomon my son a blameless heart to keep Your commandments, testimonies, and statutes, and to do all that is necessary to build the palace [for You] for which I have made provision.” (AMP)

The point the Holy Spirit wants to become a reality in our lives, is that the provision for the work God has called each of us to, will come from Him because it is part of our inheritance that we receive as we mature in our relationship with Him. That is why the Holy Spirit kept bringing to my attention the two verses in Proverbs at the start of this “Perspective.” Under Jesus’ direction, Father sent the Spirit of Christ to live in us to be our source of wisdom and counsel, as He only speaks what He hears from God (see John 16:13). Verse 20 declares that the Holy Spirit works from the foundation of the throne (righteousness and justice) for two very important reasons that are progressive: Firstly, to cause those who love wisdom to INHERIT wealth, and then secondly, so that wisdom may fill their treasuries.

Therefore, for us to inherit all the land and titles assigned to us as our inheritance, we must first LOVE WISDOM. How do we learn to do this? There are a four main keys that God has shown me regarding this:

First, “the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom (see Proverbs 9:10a AMP).

Second, God “hides sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous” (see Proverbs 2:7a AMP, and my previous Perspective “My Keys are in the Trees of Righteousness”),

Third, we must have fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit (see 2 Cor 13:14). This fellowship means spending time praying in our prayer language (praying in the Spirit that builds up our faith - see Jude 20), and then listening daily for Wisdom. Proverbs 8:34 and 35 become clearer to us in this light – “Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man (and woman), who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoever finds me [Wisdom] finds life and draws forth and obtains favor from the Lord.” (AMP)

I believe that the favor the Holy Spirit is talking about is two-fold: the anointing (the “oil” referred to in Zech 4:6 above), and the authority to inherit the wealth that releases the Wisdom (Holy Spirit) to fill our treasuries. As we spend time listening to Wisdom, watching and waiting for instructions, then, when we receive revelation in our spirit, we declare these as prophetic utterances and the angels are released to bring God’s desired result, and fill our treasuries.

The final key is obedience to do what the Holy Spirit instructs us to do. Jesus said in John 14:15 that if we really love Him, we will keep and obey His commandments. There is a simple acrostic I use that may be helpful in remembering: PLO, which stands for Pray, Listen and Obey, and correlates to the three abiding principles of our Christian life in 1 Cor. 13:13, Faith, Hope and Love. In Faith we Pray, in Hope we Listen, and in Love we Obey, the greatest of these being Love – obeying the Word of God (written and rhema).

I pray that as we spend time in prayer, listening and obeying, that we will all come to a greater understanding of God’s desire to draw us into our inheritance and fill our treasuries with all the provision to fulfill our destinies.

INTIMACY WITH GOD:
THE KEY TO THE FULNESS OF TRANSITION INTO KINGDOM LIVING

PART TWO

"THE REMNANT CHURCH IS GOING TO BE MADE UP OF THOSE WHO WALK AND ABIDE IN REVELATION KNOWLEDGE"

...."pray without ceasing"....

1 Thessalonians 5:17

It should be obvious to all who read this Scripture that it is impossible for one to carry that out in a "natural" manner of speaking. What Paul was talking about here was that we should be a people who "communicate" with God - without ceasing. As the heart of the believer begins to diligently practice the presence of God - through daily fellowship with Him - then, ultimately, that heart will become one with Him in all things. This continual communication in the spirit-man with God (through the power of the Holy Spirit) that Paul is speaking about in this passage is simply the life of "abiding" in Christ. This continual communication comes forth from a heart-position that seeks to dwell in - and focus upon - the spiritual realities of the Kingdom, and "know" the very heart and character of the Father, Himself. Jesus is the perfect example of what true ministry is in the sight of the Father. For He did nothing on His own initiative but rather, through His daily time spent with the Father, He gained both the wisdom and the power to carry out the will of the Father and, in doing so, He continually represented Him perfectly to all of the people that were brought across His path. In the same manner, the remnant Church is going to be made up of those who walk and abide in "revelation knowledge" - alone, and thus we will be pure vessels through whom the Father's great love for mankind can be manifested.

TRUE PRAYER CAN BE DEFINED AS SIMPLY COMMUNICATION WITH THE FATHER AND HIS WORD - ON "HIS" TERMS

True prayer can be defined as simply communication with the Father and His Word - on "His" terms. The key to one guarding their heart with all diligence (an abiding in the place of walking and speaking by revelation) is the "inner chamber" - that place of heart to heart and face to face fellowship with the Father and His Word. It is only in this place of an abiding and intimate fellowship with the Father and His Word that one shall begin to see things that are almost incomprehensible in this hour - pertaining to the fulness of God's plan for the establishment of a "spotless and unblemished" Church. In this most critical hour, it must be clearly understood that our lives are to be "totally" ordered and empowered by the Holy Spirit - and that it is a good (righteous) thing to be found free from the influence of ANY form of "self-desire", and the spirits of rebellion that lurk behind it.

DEFINING THE "INNER CHAMBER"

Here is a word that the Father gave me concerning the "inner chamber" which defines His heart-definition of how it pertains to His children:

...."The "inner chamber" is that place wherein one communes with Me in secret, and it means shutting out the world and shutting in themselves unto Me. The "inner chamber" is not first and foremost a "time-frame". It is first and foremost a proper "heart-position" before Me - as each new day begins. As one "abides" in the proper heart-position then they shall surely be doing perfectly all that I require of them concerning the "inner chamber". Therefore, let each one of My children walk in the manner in which "I" have assigned them concerning the "inner chamber"!"....

This word clearly puts the onus (accountability) upon the child of God to seek the Father with all of their heart - in order to find out what "He" would have them do concerning their daily fellowship with Him. It is certain that our God is a God of "order" and when one begins to affix themselves to His ordering - alone - they shall begin to see amazing results in their life and ministry. As the "inner chamber" becomes the first and foremost priority in their lives they shall surely enter into the perfect liberty that is theirs in Christ - the perfect liberty and freedom that will allow (empower) them to carry out the fulness of their destiny, in Christ.

"THE FATHER DESIRES TO RAISE UP A REMNANT CHURCH THROUGH ALL THOSE WHO HAVE POSITIONED THEMSELVES PERFECTLY BEFORE HIM - BY GIVING
THEIR HEART WHOLLY TO HIM"

Again, it must be clearly understood by every child of God that the "inner chamber" is the source and place of all divine empowerment - and it is truly the key to the fulness of transition into Kingdom-living. If we have proper fellowship with the Father and His Word, THEN the rest of our "relationships" (both good and bad) shall be ruled by the love of God (on our part). It is also from this position of an abiding love that we will continually represent Him with perfect accuracy - and thus be found fulfilling both the command to love God with ALL of our heart, and to love one another - even when we experience persecution from those close to us. The power of God is the love of God, and the love of God is the power of God, and in this final hour the Father desires to raise up a remnant Church through all those who have positioned themselves perfectly before Him - by giving their heart wholly to Him. It is from this place of a heart wholly given that one is prepared to be a fit vessel of God's power - a power which shall surely be released without measure in this most critical and glorious hour.

"THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ACCELERATION AND MULTIPLICATION, AND THE THINGS THAT THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND OBEDIENT SHALL SEE AND EXPERIENCE ARE GREATER THAN ONE COULD EVER IMAGINE OR PERCEIVE - APART FROM THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION"

These days are the days wherein all those who have been faithful and obedient to the call of God shall begin to enter into the fulness of their destiny, but it is important for every Christian to realize that they will NEVER know where the Father is taking (leading) them unless they have their eyes fixed upon His Word - and their heart in one accord with His heart. This can only come about in one's life as they abide daily in a perfect and intimate fellowship with Him. Those who refuse to enter into the aforementioned intimate fellowship with the Father in the "inner chamber" in this hour will be swayed and moved off of the course of the Father's perfect will and plan for the Church (and their perfect part in it) - without exception! Therefore, let us be those who are found faithful to enter into the times of intimate fellowship with the Father - on "His" terms - that we might come to know and abide in the deepest thoughts and intentions of His heart - for these are the days of acceleration and multiplication, and the things that those who are faithful and obedient shall see and experience are greater than one could ever imagine or perceive - apart from the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.

I can't tell who said what here? So it's hard to comment. Maybe if you put them in different colors it would help next time. Thanks. I'm kind of slow this way....

But the first part about Saul pursuing David. Well...I have a witness to that but it won't just come from the church. Saul was completely fallen and it should make us all scared...Talk about a lamp stand being removed...There are Saul's in the world that have heard acted and rejected. They aren't walking with the Lord at all and persecute the saints. You find them scattered here and there. ...They ware the saints down.

I'm always blessed to find a David...This is a call and a test all true remnant believers must pass....I've experianced it from both 'sweet' church members and from the ragged dog chewing grass in the field...I passed but it left a sobering mark and changed me in a way that helped me to see for myself my own personal commitment was stronger than l thought.

The secret places can stretch out of your closet. You don't have to answer every accusation against you. Listening, to the unique circumstances of each situation the Holy Spirit will work to bring revelation through your response to even the hardest of hearts.

Also l think much of this first part summed up might say..."Shake out your shoes."
If you don't do it you won't be able to stand and respond in the spirit but will be responding in accordance to the wounds of the past.



Remembering too that David was anointing in the wilderness before the end of Saul's control. AND He never usurped him...

Some how it reminds me of the Spirit leaving the temple and entering into the captives in Babylon.

"THE SCEPTER OF FINANCIAL POWER FOR MY BRIDE"


i hate this statement.

there is such thing as the "deceptive power of riches".

true riches are not from financial means.

true riches are not from gold or silver.

and the scepter will not be one of worldly financial power.

this is deception.

and a little leaven ferments the whole lump.

i hate it.

there are those that are wise according to this system of things,
and there are those that are given the wisdom that comes from above.



and the spirit is opposed to the flesh.

and stern warning was given to those "rich in this system of things".


be rich in fine works.
be rich in wisdom from God. asking.

the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
turn away from what is bad. this is understanding.

but in seeking first the kingdom,
are we to be concerned with financial things?

or are we to be content with "bread for this day"
and for "sustenance and covering".


i do not know who wrote this thing above.
but i am opposed to the words quoted in caps above.

...highly....

and it makes me angry.


bz

Ya...I caught that too. It was hard to tell who was speaking which word.

This has been readily prophesied.....that the church was going to get rich in the end. If it did it would have to be a funnel to spreading the gospel, feeding the hungry etc.

When we increase God gives us more so we can give more...NOT to hoard up for ourselves.

He gives abundantly to those he can trust to give it back...so maybe this is what is being referred to.

Been there done that.

BZ,

It has been apparent to me from the first I knew you on this forum that you are a solid and staunch affirmer of an end time financial dissparity which will dissannul all of the financial blessings of the kingdoms of this world. Especially the USA. I would suppose that ultimately that is truth. The word speaks of a time when men will cast their silver into the streets...

Eze 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

As far as I am concerned you are speaking to only half of the picture. There is a time when the Lord will place the wealth of the wicked into the hands of the righteous. Miki's next post here follows that theme if I remember correctly. What would you do with this word which I maintain is yet future?

Jam 5:1 Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you]. Jam 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Jam 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Jam 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Jam 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Jam 5:6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you. Jam 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Jam 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

All the wicked rich still have the money, you must have noticed...

I took a long look at the post which was included in Mr Jackson's work and I paste it here. I see nothing wrong with this word, and even wonder what the raised eyebrow is about. It flows with promise to the faithful believer and does not presume a complete agenda of financial matters in my opinion...I am in line for a place in all this and it agrees with me to have faith for it. If that is for two weeks, so be it. Meantime I got a church to build. God has told me he will use my wife and I to do it. 3.4 is all.

THE SCEPTER OF FINANCIAL POWER FOR MY BRIDE

Thank you My beautiful bride for trusting Me, for pressing forward through the wilderness season, the dry desert times and often through fiery trials. I have never left your side, never forsaken you or abandoned you. I was always with you encouraging you and lifting you up. When you turned your face to me I showered you with My presence. In the times of desperation and despair when you cried on your bed I was there. Know my sons and daughters that the purging, the cleansing fire was for My greatest glory. Throughout these times of trial and testing you have learned to fully trust Me as your source of all things. There has been a release of old habits, ways and mind-sets causing a transformation in your hearts.

Now my bride I am repositioning, realigning and restructuring as we go forward into a new season for fulfillment of destiny. As you crossed the threshold into this new day, being faithful to answer the call I have brought you into a broad place and My favor rests upon you. You are coming forth from the wilderness singing and rejoicing with a new joy, confidence and boldness arising within your heart. You are shining like the Son, burnished like glistening gold. You have paid the price. Only those who have paid the price of death to self can arise in this hour and wear My mantle of authority with financial power.

Stay covered in my cloak of humility as you arise throughout the nations as My glorious church. My beautiful bride My global body how I desire you, how I delight in you. Yes, fully yielded to Me, obedient and arrayed in My glory My bride shall wield the sword and carry the scepter of financial power throughout the nations, as together we bring in the final harvest.

I went into the first post and selected colour variants to sepatate authorship, as Mr Jackson has saw fit to include other input to support his theme ...Larry/Maz

larry, i focused on that heading with a magnifier, to show the error of such a statement. namely: a SCEPTER OF FINANCIAL POWER.
(as if this is the means by which God will accomplish his will for the church.)

God's will shall be done, and his good purpose accomplished here on earth,
but
"not by military force, nor by POWER (of any earthly variety),
but
BY MY SPIRIT", says Jehovah of Armies.


many of those that follow Jesus as Lord and Master
are of little means.
and to suggest that financial wealth
is some sort of gauge to determine
the measure of God's blessing
is a grave error....

and so i highlighted this to encourage
and to remind those of little material wealth
that
it is not the content of a man's wallet,
but rather, the content of his character,
that is important.
(to borrow a phrase from Dr. M. L. King)

to those you who have little in this world,
remember-- that though some view that godly devotion
is a mean's of "great gain",
do not be discouraged,
but rather work as if you are slaving for Jehovah
in all you do.

for, this godly devotion IS a mean's of great gain...
but that Gain is not to be measured in earthly treasure or riches.

but keep on seeking the Kingdom,
and the Spiritual Riches that come from walking with Godly devotion.

Be rich in fine works.

May God bless all his children,
from every background,
and nation,
and color,
and race,
whether rich or poor,
slave or free.


Our Hope is True.


regarding the "SCEPTER".

the scepter is "a Scepter of Righteousness",
of Uprightness.

Hebrews 1:8 and 9 states this,
the writer, quoting from the 45th Psalm.

our Righteousness comes from God.
God is our Righteousness.


regarding "the rod or staff of authority."
Jesus will rule, not with a rod of gold.
but with an IRON ROD,
when he comes
to judge the nations.
and carry to out righteous judgement.
The Judgment of God.

keep hope and faith firm in our King.
He is coming.

love,

Hi all!

We never fail to have fantastic discussion! I hope all these good thoughts and opinions will draw in many from the wilderness to see what's happening here.

I thought the original post was a beautiful thing almost perfect but I too object to money. The lord says give that which is Ceasar's to Ceasar and that which is His to Him.

Today's money belongs to the dead presidents.

If you have doubts, ask the camel to pass through the eye of the needle. It is not impossible, as all things are possible with Him, only very very difficult.

It seems curious we miss the focus of a wonderful post just to look at the one possible error. We really do have a tough crowd here don't we! That's as it should be though. The truth comes from a rigorous back-and-forth between loyal servants.

"I call you to record this day, to light the fire of faith and to set on fire those bridges which would allow the turning back and the crossing over into the wilderness of sin and into the wilderness of dependence upon the worldly resource. Manna was supplied in the wilderness, but full and total daily bread is offered in Me in this preparatory stage before My advent. My call and My purpose and My heart are set solely upon the redemption of man.

On the periphery of that cause is the subsequent blessing to do the works I have ordained, even to go into all the world and speak all the words of this life to whosoever will hear them. For this cause I will grant complete and total occupation of temporal blessing in this life, and in the life to come, eternity in glory. I will turn over the wealth of the wicked into the hands of the righteous in order that you are enabled to go forth, and stay the course as you trust in Me, for I am the Lord God almighty, who lives and reigns."

A sound bite from "Burning Bridges."

When one knows that the love of money is the root of all evil, and not the money itself, the understanding is tempered. For who shall know what the will of the lord is? Is it not a full and complete salvation and victory, not only in the life to come, but in this life as well? Why suppose ye that it says in Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. (?) Or why do you suppose it says in Proverbs
Pro 11:24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty. Pro 11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Or why does it say in Psa 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. I say it is because the Lord has a plan of deliverance and prosperity here and now. I have no enemies in heaven...(referring back to Psalms 23:5)

Dont let talk of money coming to the saints be a stumbling block. As we come into our endtime ministries we will be blessing our cities and for some, the only way they know how to thank us will be to give money to help further our ministries. We will tell them to thank God for their blessing, and they will want to do something to help out. I believe this is partly where that money will come to the saints.

There are other ways that money or riches will be involved in our ministries, but I do not want to speak on them, as the ones I am thinking of are entirely dependent on the active imaginations of God's manifested sons!

please be sure to use your imaginations!

nada

Maz .....another great thread .

------------------

Its interesting that the financial question is so troubling to everyone .

I agree with Maz , that a financial blessing is simply that .
Something to empower the ministry .

But I'm fascinated by what will happen in the markets in these days .

Does the bible say that the beast will prohibit people from trading
and operating financially unless they bow to him ?
And is this the delusion ?

When we look at everything as a blessing from our Lord-then we will not focus on money-which I don't think you have at all in that post.

I have at times had very little-and have been blessed.
I have been blessed by greater finances -only to know that it must be
given away.

To whom much is given-much is expected.
So money is only evil if we glorify it.

I have prayed for more finances to be able to help more people.
I never can keep it, when I see so many in need.

I think our world is totally off balance with many things. There are so many
wealthy people that could give so much money but do not. They need to buy
\all these mansions with no one hardly in it.

Tonight my husband told me that Tigger Woods bought a gigantic mansion.
He told me I know what you would do with that Rosie- you would pick up
every homeless person you could find and fill that mansion.

Who are the ones that are really homeless if you think about it. If we don't love
Christ and don't believe in Him they won't have a mansion in heaven. They will be the homeless ones. In fact they are really wondering around now without a home. For heaven is our home right! Alrighty then we have a mansion waiting for us. Jesus said so, and I believe everything he told us.

If we can feel blessed like Paul did. Every situation we are blessed by God.
Boy he went through a lot didn't he and never lost faith.

He is definately another person that has left a mark on me.


Anyway Mazinaw-thank you for sending in that post.
You are a blessing to us here!

The true saints of God that are poor now will still be poor after they have the wealth of the world because it will pass through their hands to those who need it most. It won't be hoarded or used to build mansions like Rosie said...But maybe just to do a much needed root canal or pay the neighbors heating bill. Maybe even to buy pain medication for a friend dying of Cancer or even to give her a clean bed to lay in.

No...the true saints won't hoard the money but will be obedient and loving in it's use.

Exactly....

I'm sorry to distract from the discussion. My only point was to suggest that financial wealth or power or ability does not have a one-to-one correlation with spiritual weath or power or ability. I submit to you there are those who are poor finanacially and weathly in a spiritual sense and vice-versa.

The real reason I brought it up at all was to suggest we focus on our agreement and seek to learn rather than focus on disagreement and seek to win an argument. By my very attempting this, I've proved to myself that such a goal is nearly impossible. We seem to lie in wait for each other to speak out against something we take a special personal interest in, then we seek to defeat statements that weren't really even made, in hopes of assuaging any guilt we might have on our minds for something.

I have good financial earning power and I'm not ashamed of it. It is becuase I couldn't earn a single nickel without it being the will of my Father. I'm also not sad that I live in a small very unassuming house in the woods and my bank account doesn't have all that much in it. You can tell me I squandered what I was allowed to earn on loans that were made without usery with repayment forgiven and gifts and donations or whichever reasons.What I have coming in seems to go out and I don't care.

My only point is that Jesus managed to defeat sin for all those who wish to beleive, spread the truth to the multitudes, feed them with a few fish and heal them with the touch of His hand and He did it without a single penny in His pocket.

I'm not saying money is good or bad, I'm saying it's completely irrelevant.

What's in God's wallet?

Forgive me if I don't participate in any further arguments about money. I appologize for ever having said a word on the subject.

I love you all

My dear Mr. David. I don't think you owe an apology. I know where you are coming from. Sometimes it is hard to get things across on the net.
You are right in the shceme of things money is irrelevant.
Too bad we need it in this life.

I love that you are here. We are brothers and sisters. We love Jesus=united!
We will be in heaven one day together and thank God we will not need money.
We won't even remember it will we

Miki,you have summed up what I have always felt we who call ourselves christians should be like. That is truly a saint of God with a servants heart!

God bless you Miki

Please forgive me, I'm just so sad seeing such division about something that seems so small to me. I firmly beleive our global economy will collapse soon and we can toss our money in the streets. I know it sounds strange, but I can't wait to throw what's left of mine away.

Even if that doesn't happen, the day will come where in order to spend it, we'd have to accept some sort of mark thing or something or other. Those who don't accept it won't be able to buy or sell.

I'm sorry, forgive me for bringing that up again...

I don't see any division, just adult discussion.

A diversity of thought will scar the peace, but it is an investiture of the true heart of every believer to either withold more than that which is meet, or to release it to the kingdom, and in so doing reap an automatic harvest. Even a bird can scatter seed and it will sprout afterall. Did you know that even a secular individual can prosper by sowing? How much more a kingdom child? I also feel a manifest son is going to be manifest, (in part... not all) by his or her activity in the arena of financial stewardship. There will be a need as the gospel goes forth and afterwards, hey, the streets in heaven are paved with the stuff. I will be satisified with pavement then.

Amen Rosie!!!

2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

We are blessed to be a blessing

we are increased to increase those around us

we are living epistles, Christ's presence in us has the effect of changing peoples lives without a word ever being spoken.
