The Global Economy is heading towards a cliff. The current economic system has exploited the masses and greed has run rampant among those who think they are in control. Change is upon us and with it will come pain to many. As a Christian one might ask, “What is our Heavenly Father doing about all this?” Throughout history HE has called out men and women to deliver the people from certain death and destruction. Noah, Moses, Joseph, and Esther were all called to rise up and walk in a calling that seemed impossible at the time. The odds were stacked against them yet Our Heavenly Father performed those miracles required to deliver the people from their then-current failed system. Sin and corruption had prevailed to the point where the average person was acting in a manner “right in his own sight”. Society was at the point of calling right wrong and wrong right, a truly perverted society. We are there once again.
The Word of THE LORD came to me early last month and said “Now is the time!” Now in this ninth month of the year and it is time to come forth and speak to the “called out ones”. Most of us have exited the current church system. Some were hurt, some were financially exploited, and some simply left because Our Heavenly Father moved upon them so that HE could speak to them directly without an intermediary at the pulpit. Some left years ago and some left recently. Each and every person has a calling and that calling is important to the Body of Christ. Each calling was uniquely given and is needful to the Body to do its part. My calling came in a vision twenty-four years ago, in 1987. I would lead a group of Christian businessmen to fund the end-time Gospel (Good News). I was excited about it then and was working on a multi-million dollar deal that I thought would usher in this vision. The deal had delay after delay until it had been watered down to just a miniscule deal compared to the original opportunity. That was frustrating! I was set to do my part for the Kingdom and the money did not come in the amount to make a difference. Little did I realize that I was now in a training program. My background in banking, finance, and information technology provided the competency to fulfill my calling but the time was not at hand.
Since 1987 I have had literally hundreds of prophetic words and visions given to me about my calling from prophets and prophetesses who knew nothing about me at the time of initial contact. I would get excited but no manifestation yet. The training continued as well as the prophetic words to keep me encouraged. In 1998, I was asked to be part of a “Biblical Law” project, to apply those 613 Commandments and Statutes to today’s needs and understanding. Of the twelve men called, only myself and my assigned partner completed the project. This is not meant to be critical of the other ten but circumstances did not allow the others to finish the project. It is clear that Our Heavenly Father wanted me to have full exposure to HIS Law which came out of HIS character and nature.
In 1996, Our Heavenly Father told me that I would have a significant event occur in 2005. That seemed like forever back then. The revelation of the Baptism of Love was that event. I was to study about HIS Love and that all other things would pass away but Love would abide forever. I began to immerse myself in this study as it became self-evident that this was the key to ushering in the Tabernacles age. It became clear to me that David understood this when he became known as a man after GOD’S own heart. During the 1996-2005 timeframe I made several trips overseas to pursue international financing deals. I was thrust into this arena and fully expected the funding of the vision to occur. I preferred this method at the time because it did not require anyone else to be involved in raising the funds. After having been “fleeced” by the church, I was adverse to being classified in the same manner by seeking funds for the vision. Each international deal failed to materialize due to one common issue- greed. At least one player in the deal would try to renegotiate once they saw the size of the deal and without fail, the deal would collapse. I saw firsthand what Timothy meant when he shared that greed is the root of all evil. Once again the vision of funding seemed to be delayed.
Something else happened in 1996. It was Spring and I received a phone call from Carl Petty in Minneapolis. He wanted me to meet a man from Arkansas who was there with a group of men for a prayer meeting. When Carl handed the phone to him, I said “Hello”. The man could not speak for the anointing of the Holy Spirit prevented it. After the third attempt, he finally regained his ability to speak and asked me what my calling was. He and his wife had been praying for the last eighteen months for the LORD to show them the “treasurer of the Kingdom”. He was now satisfied that I was the one and his prayer had been answered. Once again I was excited but only to find that the time had not yet come to serve The Body of Christ in this office. The training continued.
In 2006, Our Heavenly Father told me to establish Servias Ministries to serve mankind. I was called to finance the cost and had no problem with that since HE knew of my adversity to asking others for money. Even though I had plenty to do without managing an additional entity, I cheerfully set up the charitable organization. Just as Daniel was called to live peaceably in Babylon, I am called to do the same. My goal is conform to the system knowing that Our Heavenly Father will provide any necessary funds to accomplish that which HE has called me to do. After all, we should render unto to Caesar that which is Caesar’s.
Finally, let us get to the Summer of 2011. Since mid-June, I have been in an unprecedented “repairs and maintenance” cycle. If it could break, it did. The record heat in Oklahoma has had some impact but this cycle was of a spiritual nature. My wife and I inquired, “Are we under judgment?” The answer was “No”. That was good news. It turns out that this cycle was all about a test on whether my focus could be diverted from my calling. In late June, a brother in Christ from Canada called me and requested that I travel to British Columbia to meet another man called to the financing of the Kingdom. His wife had received a Word the THE LORD to call me. Over the years I had made several trips of similar nature without seeing any manifested results. I indicated that other commitments would prevent a trip for a few weeks. I love this couple but I wasn’t thrilled about making yet another trip for I had plenty to do at my house. I received another email. This time Our Heavenly Father had made it clear that I should inquire about the trip. HE told me that if I didn’t go, a counterfeit treasurer would be raised up and deceive the people and HE did not want this to happen. I went.
I arrived in the valley of fruitfulness and unity. I was to make the connection in Canada as the first step to expand Servias Ministries into the international arena. This was the activation of the office of Treasurer of the Kingdom, a statement I do not make lightly. I have been reluctant in the past to state this as my calling because of all of the claims by men who have attempted to exploit the brethren. “Now is the time” to come forth and express it publicly. It is also the time for the Body of Christ to begin functioning in unity and bring forth good fruit. We have all been acting as individuals protecting ourselves from those who would exploit us for their personal gain. To a degree, many of us have become cynical of those who have called us to give.
I’m not asking you to give to me but to join me in giving into the Treasury of THE LORD. My wife and I have faithfully given under the direction of Our Heavenly Father. Our recent IRS audit of our charitable contributions support that reality.
In the Book of Nehemiah, the Temple was in disrepair. Nehemiah was called to rebuild the Temple and gained favor. He set up a treasury to receive funds so that they could be distributed for the needs of the Kingdom. Servias Ministries was established for that very function. The one hard-fast requirement of a treasurer for the Kingdom is that he or she must have a revelation of Love. For without that revelation, greed will enter in and divert the funds away from the perfect plan, will, and purpose of Our Heavenly Father. Other qualifications are good but Love is required.
Over the next several days, I will share additional understanding. A Kingdom requires a currency, a medium of exchange. A currency requires a treasury. A treasury requires a treasurer. It’s that simple.
