FATHER spoke to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.
2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.
As we hear and respond to FATHER, it is HE Who sustains us. Men who do not hear HIS Voice simply go forth in their own understanding, reasoning, and soulish observations and try to make the best of what they know how to do. They live a life of scarcity and never have enough no matter how much they obtain. FATHER made it quite clear WHO would bless what the children of Israel would set their hands to. HE gave them a warning:
11 “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,
12 lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;”
This warning is a parallel to that which we see today especially in the U.S. Mankind has moved away from FATHER’s Word and have taken a path toward destruction. Genetically modified food is now taking its toll on the health of the people. People are challenging the CREATOR’S Wisdom in determining what sex they should be. The definition of marriage has been changed though it has not changed in the Heavenlies. People will look back and say “What were we thinking?” However there is a Remnant reserved for FATHER’S preparation to bring for HIS Kingdom to replace the current system and all of these soulish and lawless acts will be judged with HIS Justice.
HIS Remnant will not forget HIM but dwell safely with HIM as this judgment comes forth. When the death angel passed over Egypt, the children of Israel who harkened to HIS Word were spared. The sons who were kept safe from the death angel are the same sons who became men and entered the Promised Land forty years later. They were well aware of the high stakes of disobedience. FATHER reminded them:
17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’
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.
The purpose of obtaining wealth is to establish HIS Covenant. If you hear and respond to HIS Word concerning what wealth you have then you are fulfilling your part in establishing HIS Covenant. If you don’t listen to HIM and “go off and do your own thing”, you will be subject to HIS judgment and justice as well. No matter what the amount HE directs you to give, invest, loan, or otherwise, simply do it! Don’t let your left brain know what your right brain is doing or you will be talked out of a blessing like you probably have so many times in the past. I write these things so you would not be ignorant of what it means to be given the power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18 is as appropriate today as it was when first spoken. FATHER changes not!
