We must remove the “disconnect” between the delivery of The Word and the productiveness of the Word in our lives. The Word has power resident in It and if the Word is planted in good soil, It will produce good fruit. The issue of barrenness is not the Word’s fault, the issue lies with the soil.
We must let go of past understanding that conflicts with The Word. Religion keeps people enslaved to the doctrine contained and promoted by religion. Martin Luther rose above religion’s enslavement when he posted ninety-five theses to the door of the church. We need not rely on a man as our “mediator” with FATHER. Jesus Christ is all we need for He alone is The Way.
I believe in financial prosperity so that I can be a blessing to others. Jesus never spoke against financial prosperity but He intended prosperity to minister to the poor, not simply hoard it and stop the flow. FATHER sent the Children of Israel out of Egypt with great wealth. Does HE have a problem with prosperity now? Has HE changed HIS Mind and Divine Intent? How can I minister to impoverished kids if I am broke?
FATHER spoke to me earlier this week and told me: HIS Sons and Daughters must overcome the poverty mentality. Additionally, we must quit being afraid of dying and start living. We must realize that the devil is the victim, we are not.
Finances have been such a sensitive subject in the past. Financial abuse among various ministries has provided many with justification to limit their giving. When The Holy Spirit had Malachi record in chapter 3:
8 “Will a man rob GOD?
Yet you have robbed ME!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed YOU?’
In tithes and offerings.
FATHER’s Divine Intent was reaffirmed concerning giving. If this Truth was not important to FATHER, this passage would have been omitted. My wife and I personally look forward to giving, knowing we are planting good Seed. Yes, we have given to various ministries and projects in the past which were tainted by misuse and wrong intent. However, FATHER looked at our hearts and willingness to give, not any compromise on the part of the recipient. HE blesses us based on our intent and desire to walk according to HIS stated expectations. The disconnect in finances occurs when our self interest interferes with the revelation in The Word.
When we give with pure motives, our hearts are fertile ground for blessing. Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
1 “Examine your motives to make sure you’re not showing off when you do your good deeds, only to be admired by others; otherwise, you will lose the reward of your Heavenly Father. 2 So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it and make a show of it just to be seen by people, like the hypocrites in the streets and in the marketplace. They’ve already received their reward! 3 But when you demonstrate generosity, do it with pure motives and without drawing attention to yourself. 4 Give secretly and your Father, Who sees all you do, will reward you openly.”
Did Jesus tell us to refrain from giving? Has FATHER ceased from rewarding us for our giving? All that the impoverished kids (supported by Servias) and their parents know is that financial assistance is coming from an “anonymous benefactor”. FATHER knows who is giving and HE rewards us openly. I am expecting HIM to keep HIS Word and I trust you are too.
We must not allow any disconnect to occur in our walk, including finances. Jesus did not disregard the poor and neither should we. FATHER will repay each of us openly in whatever our individual needs require. As we mature, our mindset will align with HIS. There is no lack in Heaven and we are to bring Heaven to earth. Let there be no disconnect between the Divine Intent of FATHER’S Word and our response.
