Are you rendering or stealing?
Who started the process of giving and receiving?
“These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.” Genesis 2:4-5
Wonderful thought, the heavens and the earth were not created in a series of six single 24 hour days. Yet, scriptures describes these things as created in the day, meaning it was, “a time for the foundations of the earth to be laid.”
Genesis 2:4, “These are the generations of the heaven and the earth in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.”
There was not a man
“And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.”
So God created a man from the dust of the field and breathed the breath of life into nostrils and man became a living soul.
God said to the first man, Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it have dominion over everything that has life in it. He said, I have given you every seed upon all the face of the earth and every trees bearing fruit!
If you think seed doesn’t matter, wrong! God uses seed on many different levels. For example, He told the Serpent, the seed of the woman shall bruise your head. He gave Abraham a seed that becomes a nation that birth the Messiah. Then He uses the seed to given the gift of eternal life to whosoever believes
“If ye be Christ, then are you Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promises.”
God uses fruit trees! The first sacrifice was the fruit of a fruit tree. The first gift of eternal life came from a fruit tree. Jesus was crucified on a tree. The Tree of Life is in the midst of the paradise of God.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
Partnership
Partnership as it relates to God, is probably the most elusive principle of creation. The system of the earth is based on partnership. This concept flows from Genesis through to Revelation. We understand partnership in bits and pieces.
God has been the greatest victim of theft. Man has never fully render to God his due fruits of the partnership. However, God stills holds people responsible for their share of the harvest of the earth.
God asked the question will a man rob God? You have robbed me even this whole nation. You are cursed with are curse!
Parable of the Wine Press (Matthew 21:33-46 KJV)
The parable pf the wine press illustrates the principles of failed partnership. Jesus told the story of a householder who planted a vineyard. He placed a fence around it and rigged a wine press in it. He build a tower in it. He put the responsibility of managing the vineyard into his employees. Last of all he took a long trip to a far country.
When it came time for the harvest to come in, he sent his servants to the managers of the vineyard to collect its fruits. The Managers beat up one servant, stoned one and killed another. The Householder continued to sent messages to collect the fruits of vineyard. The managers continued to treat each messages the same way.
Finally the Householder decided to send his Son, thinking the managers would respect his son more than his messengers. The managers decided to kill the son and take ownership of the vineyard.
Jesus asked the question of his audience, “When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?” His audience responded,
“They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.” Matthew 21:41
Partnership has always been about man rendering God the fruits of partnership. Yet, man took the fruits that were due God and consumed them upon his own desires. Genesis 6:2, “…They took them wives of all which they chose.”
“But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.” Jeremiah 5:23-24
Jesus quoted scripture,
“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?”
Jesus said,
“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof.”
The parable is about rendering to God his due fruits. People think this parable just applies to the Pharisees. No, it applies to followers of Jesus Christ as well.
The Parable of the talents! (Matthew 25:14-30)
Jesus tells a parable about three servants of a householder. For clarity let change the titles of subjects of this parable. Let make the man traveling to a far country, the president of a company. Lets make the servants employees. The president of this company is about to tell a long business trip. He called his chief employees together and committed the companies resources into their hands.
The first employee was given five pieces of gold. The second employee was give two pieces of gold. The third employee was given one piece of gold. After a long period of time, the president of the company calls his employees to give an account of their stewardship.
The first employee came to the president and said, ‘You committed to me five pieces of gold, I have gained five more.’ The president of the company said, well done good and faithful have you been, I will make you ruler over many things, come let’s celebrate together.
The second employee came to the president and said, You committed to me two pieces of gold, I have gained two more. The president said, well done good and faithful have you been, I will make you ruler over many things, come let’s celebrate together.
The third employee came to the president and said, You gave me one piece of gold and I was afraid of losing it. I knew you as a hard man reaping where you have not sown. So I took the companies resources and buried them in a hole in the backyard, here is your one piece of goal. The president said, You wicked and slothful employee, you should have put my money in the bank at lease I could have gained the interest. Take the talent from him and give it to the employee which gained the most of the resources entrusted to him.
The principle of accountability
“For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Many people are in a dark place simply because they didn’t take advance of seed time and harvest. They ate their seed. They neglected their fruit trees. They slept during harvest times. They were not conscious of the process.
God reserves the harvest! In other word, there is a harvest of increase in your future, simply because that is ow the system was designed to function. Sow seed, plant water and be patient unto God gives rain and increase.
God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Seed is for provision. Seed is pro (for) the vision. God’s vision!
You can’t limit seed to physical food. Seed will/can benefit you in every area of your life.
The power of sowing seed
In Second Corinthians 9:6-15, the apostle Paul encourages the Corinthian Church concerning making provision for the ministry to the saints. He said,
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 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.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (KJV)
If you sown little, you will reap on the same scale. If you sow abundantly, you will reap abundantly. I learned this early in ministry. I learned this valuable principle. I deliberately found as many serving opportunities and started pouring into these field.
I served as a chaplain in the Wayne County Jail, Dickerson Detention Facility, the Detroit Rescue Mission and the Detroit Police Department of which I receive no salary. I also prayed with a group churches called the Detroit Regional House of Prayer as well as pastoring a church.
In my serving I recognized seasons of blessings. I was able to share these lessons with people I ministered to in prison and the homeless shelter. I enjoyed the grace of God in so many ways. The season that I am walking in today, as debt free, came out of those seasons of sowing into others.
Another amazing benefit is the level of your authority and dominion increases as well. What I mean by that, I master money instead of money mastering me. I experience the blessings of God in my body, marriage, home and finances. Why? Not because I am a good person. I have learned the principles of the Garden of Eden and I applied them to my daily life.
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruit of your righteousness;).”
God gives seed to everybody, to the poor
He is righteous always and all the time. He is good to all. He opens his hands and desires the desires of every living thing
-He ministers seed to you
-He multiplies the seed you sow
-He increase the fruits of your righteousness. When God increase the fruit of your works, simply means what you harvest becomes so much that your barnes will break out with abundant increase. He increases it to the point that there is an overflow of abundance. Remember, Satan didn’t create prosperity. God created prosperity as a way of manifesting his glory. All things were made by him and they were created for his pleasure (Revelation 4:11).
The Sower Sows the Word
Matthew 13:2-11 & 14, Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:4-15
The parable of “the sower sows the word” is based on the same principles of all the other revelations regarding rendering to God his due fruits. Jesus came to reveal mysteries of creation that had been hidden or lost from the beginning of time.
“All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
Jesus spoke the mysteries in parables. His disciples asked him, why speak in parables? Jesus spoke in parables because the people continually rejected God. There was a pattern in the nation of people continuously rejecting God’s counsel so the prophesy of Isaiah 6:9 was fulfilled in that generation. The prophesy was
“By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.”
People receive the blessings of God as they are able to hear, receive and keep the Word God ministered to them. Jesus said,
“He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.”
Of the four groups of people who hears the Word of the Kingdom of God:
- The group who hears the word by the wayside
- The group who receives the word into stony places
- The group who receives the word among thorns
- The group who receives the Word in good ground
There is loss of growth in the first 3 groups. The last group who hears, receives, and keeps the word of God in their hearts, reaps a harvest of 30, 60, and a 100 fold more than what was sown. What is the Word of the kingdom? It is the Word of Life, the message of life which was manifested in the life and ministry of Jesus according to 1 John 1:1-5. Jesus healed all who came to him in faith! Jesus said to Martha and Mary concerning their brother Lazarus who had died, “I am the resurrection and the life.”
“One sow and another waters but God gives the increase!”
“And he gave gifts unto men”
The Message of the Ten virgins
Five were foolish and five were wise. Both groups fell asleep while waiting on the marriage feast to start. When the cry came forth, “The bridegroom cometh.” All ten woke up, the five foolish didn’t have oil to light their lamps and asked oil of the five wise virgins. The five wise virgins counseled them to go to the market place and purchase oil. While the five foolish virgin were gone to the market place to buy oil; the bridegroom show up and takes the five wise virgins into the marriage feast. When the five foolish virgins show up, knock on the door and say, “Lord, Lord open up.”
“But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”
Again the principle is, understand the purpose for seed! Work it, Apply it. Reap harvests intentionally! Become a master of seed time and harvest!
Grace & peace!
There is a silent massacre of Christians. Guess where in world | Voice
Sex noises from San Diego massage parlor interrupt church services, lead to prostitution bust: report
Solomon said,
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
In the big picture of things, human history is a recycling of events. We have to ask yourselves where are we in the big picture?
For example, There has been a party spirit that has taken root in the world. It got its start from Lucifer the morning star. Lucifier’s was called the Anointed Cherub. According to Ezekiel 28,
He sealed up the sum
He was full of wisdom
He was perfect in beauty
He had been in Eden the Garden of God
Every precious stone was his covering! This Anointed Cherub functioned in the office of a high priest. He offered the sacrifices of worship!
“Thou has been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the Sardis, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tablets and thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day thou thou was created.” Ezekiel 28:13
The Anointed Cherub’s assignment
“Thou art the anointed cherub that coveteth; and I have set thee so: thou was upon the mountain of God; thou walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.” Ezekiel 28:14
-The Anointed Cherub lead worship in the Garden of Eden. He walked up and down the midst of the stone of fire. Probably much like the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters in Genesis 1:2. The stones of fire probably were the spirits of unborn human beings. His walking up and down probably refers to his ministry of music singing over the stones of fire. It’s interesting to note that in the book of Job, when the angels presented themselves to God, Satan came in the midst of them and God asked, “Satan where have you come from:”
“Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” Job 1:7
God asked Satan a second time, “Where have you come from?” in Job 2:2
Satan had the same answer, “walking to and from, up and down in the earth.” God knows all things. He knew where was before he asked. God asked for our benefit, that we might know Satan’s activities. He is provoking strife among the nations.
In the pre- Adamic creation, the Anointed Cherub occupied a leadership position within the created order. The Anointed Cherub was a high priest who lead the angelic class in worship. He had access to the mountain of God, Eden the city of God, where he lead worship. His primary assignment was in the Garden of Eden and in his sanctuaries on earth.
According to Isaiah 14:12-15, He lead an angelic revolt against God,
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into the heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
According to Ezekiel’s account, the Anointed Cherub was “trafficking” in rebellion in his sanctuaries on earth. He got lifted up in pride because of his beauty and brightness and lead rebellion against God. He stated five times, “I will…”
“Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.” Ezekiel 28:18
Consequences of the Rebellion
The Anointed Cherub together with a portion of angels lead a rebellion against God. The Anointed Cherub was cast down into the earth with great force that it caused an implosion. Everything on earth was destroyed. The Anointed Cherub and his angels became prisoned in a deep dark watery void. In that implosion, he and the angels of the rebellion lost their bodies. They became disembodied spirits. What we call demon spirits. They seek to inhabit human beings. They know that they have a short time left and their final destination is the lake of fire.
The Adamic Creation
In Genesis 1:1-2, “In the beginning God creates the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
God recreates the heaven and the earth. He plants a garden eastward in the City of Eden and places Adam as the high priest of the human race. A priest is a servant in the service of God. The ancient spirit that was Lucifer, the Anointed Cherub, comes into the garden of Eden, but not as himself, as in his previous glory. He lost his body in the fall. He has to use the body of a serpent.
He deceives Adam and Eve! In the judgment, he is locked into the form of the serpent. God proclaims, “The seed of the woman will crush his head.” In the end, God will expose him. We will look upon him and say, ‘Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, shake kingdoms, made the world a wilderness, destroyed the cities and opened not the house of his prisoners?’
After the fall of Adam and Eve, he gained access to the earth. He also gained seed (Genesis 3:15). God set hostility between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent. Jesus called him, “the prince of this world.” The apostle Paul called him, “the god of this world.” He is the prince of the power of the air, from that position he influences cultures, lead rebellion among the nations. In his coming to and from and walking up and down in the earth, he is fermenting hatred and violence. See the article: How many murders in Mexico in 2023
“The administration of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador once again exceeded 30,000 murders in one year year, registering 29,675 victims of intentional homicide and 848 of femicide in 2023, which gives a fatal toll of 30,523 victims in the country, an average of 84 daily. January 17, 2023.” https://www.theyucatantimes.com
What does all this have to do with parties?
If Adam had fulfilled his assignment, the whole earth would be full of singing and rejoicing. It would be full of the knowledge of the glory of the LORD God. It was destine for music to come forth in some form, see Genesis 4:20-21
“And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. And his brother was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.”
Satan took the music and perverted it. Instead of the worship of God; people controlled and manipulated by Satan, are put on platforms and worshipped. We are the times where there is a company that is preaching his word through perverted lyrics!
Satan is fermenting distractions.
A in the days of Moses and the children of Israel coming out of Egypt to go into the Promised Land, a prototype of the Garden of Eden, Moses was up in the mount receiving God’s plans for the next step of their journey. The people got tired of waiting Moses and demanded Aaron make them gods to go before them. Aaron made a golden calf and the children of Israel worshipped it and burnt sacrifices to it. They sat down to eat and rose up to play. They stripped their clothes off and had a wild party. Exodus 32:17 says,
“And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for the mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.”
The article of above, “Sex noises from San Diego massage parlor interrupt church service, lead to a prostitution bust.”
That had to be a super wild party. According to the article, new laws have permitted prostitution to flourish in the community. A party spirit is prevailing in the land.
The Baby Boomer Generation
I believe particularly in the 1960s, seeds of destruction was sown in the United Staes around about the end of World War 1, we call it the roaring 20s. A party spirit had been incubating and it pick up speed after World War 2. And it hit the world like an atomic bomb in the 1960s. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and I was old enough to experience the “Motown Sound” of the early sixties. The whole city was brimming with the excitement of Motown music.
The Baby Boomer generation came to the Woodstock Music and Art fair which took place on a farm property in Bethel, New York, August 15-18, 1969. Three days of unbridled sex, rock & roll music and drugs. The spirit of rebellion spread like wild fire all over the nation. There was a similar concert on the west coast called, the Altamont Free Concert , where a 18 year old fan named, Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by a Hells Angel security guard while the Rolling Stones played on stage. (Source : Wikipedia Altamount Speedway Free Festival).
Was Meredith’s death a sacrificial offering administered by Satan’s own seed?
We are in the middle of a great upheaval. The sign of the times, a work of darkness which will never regress. It is going to increase and increase much like it did in the days of Noah until a final judgment.
According to NPR, “U.S. drug overdose death hit a record in 2022 as some states see a big surge” May 18, 2023 Heard on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
“Drug deaths nationwide hit a new record in 2022.109,680 people died as the fentanyl crisis continue to deepen, according to preliminary data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Revelation 12:12, “… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:17, he comes to make war with the saints
What can you do?
We know that Satan weakens the nations. We also know he is making the nations drunk with the wine of the wrath of his rage, Revelation 17:2 & 18:3. We know that he deceives the nation with sorceries, Revelation 18:23. He has to work through people. He has no authority to function on earth without a people being the intermediator. He has to work through a human being. Revelation 18:23 “… for thy merchants are the great men of the earth…”
But at the same time, God has put all creation under tremendous pressure, for the manifestation of the sons of God according to Romans 8:19-22
Everything within the system of creation has to have a purpose, an assignment. It has to function under authority. For example, the people of the United States, function under the authority of the Constitution of the United States. When anyone takes any kind office, where they exercise authority, they have to take the oath of office pledging allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. In the same sense, through the New Covenant, God ordained you and empowered you to impact the nations of the world.
The next great outpouring of God’s power is not going to take place in the church building! It is not going to be controlled by man. This next great outpouring of God’s power will be on individual believers. It will flow into your homes and communities where the pain is! It will bust up Satan’s power over people.
Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.”
Wherever the Blood of the Lamb is honor, the power of God will prevail!
Grace & peace!
“We want to be like nations”
“Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
1 Samuel 8:19-21
Give us a king to fight our battles
Give us a King to judge us
Give us a man to go before us
We want to be like the nations
The Promise Land was a prototype of the Garden of Eden. Israel was in a covenant confirmed by a sworn oath. God said, I swear by myself that in blessing I will bless you!
God said to Samuel, ‘Give the people a king, they have not rejected you, they have rejected me that I should not reign over them.’ The elders were frustrated with the corruption of Samuel’ sons and wanted a different kind of leadership. The elders of Israel saw the leadership of other nations and desired to be like them. However, terms of their covenant was:
“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priest, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:4-6
Israel was and is a model of the faithfulness and goodness of God. He created a nation of people from one man, Abraham, to reveal to the world his glorious plan of redemption. They were created and set up for this purpose.
Stuck in the details
They got stuck in the details! Samuel sons took bribes, perverted judgement and put the pursue of profit above righteousness. This one decision sent the nation into a pit of great darkness of which no one could perceived at the time. But thank God for the historical records we have in the Old Testament. We also get stuck in the details of life. We are looking to man’s systems to heal us or lead us out of our troubles.
Created in the image and likeness of God
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
God personally came to earth to demonstrate what we were created to be and do!
“In the beginnings was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16
The Revelation of LIFE
“That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;).” 1 John 1:1-2
The apostles and disciples of Jesus saw “Life”, the river of life working in their midst. They saw the miracles, healings, provisions. They saw him walk on water, and feed multitudes. He paid taxes from money taken from a fish’s mouth. The miracles, the wisdom, knowledge are examples of the substance we call LIFE. This is the Breath of Life, which transformed man, who initially was formed from the dust of the ground, into an intelligent life form.
In Mark 5:25-34, there was a lady who was healed of a twelve year blood disease. She spent all her money on doctors trying to find a cure. But when she saw Jesus, she said within herself, “if I can touch the hem of his garment I shall be made whole.” The concept of wholeness is fullness! Nothing lacking, nothing broken! She came behind Jesus and touched the hem of his garment. She felt in her body that she was healed of that disease. Jesus felt the power (life) leave him and he said, ”Who touched my clothes?” There were many people touching him. The woman came forth and acknowledged her healing. Jesus said, “Daughter, THY FAITH had made you whole.” The Life in him responded to the woman’s faith. Jesus said,
“And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the LIGHT shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:5
The river of life flowed out of Jesus into the woman healing and making her whole of her plague.
Life is the Gift of God
Jesus said, to the woman at the well, “… If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” John 4:10
Jesus compared natural human systems, in this case water well, to God’s source of living water. Jesus said, “Whosoever drink of this water shall thirst again. But the water I shall give him shall be in him a well of living water springing up into everlasting life!”
But the water He gives is a well of living water springing up into everlasting life! (John 4:14)
Life is substance! It is tangible! The apostle John saw it, heard the message.
Come to the water and drink
How do you drink from the river? Keep coming to the Word of God and feed and feed upon the Word of God. The light will overtake your darkness and you will realize what you have a right to. You will realize that in Christ, God has given you an inheritance, the promise! God says, I swear by myself that in blessing I will bless you!
The power is in believing, acting and doing
Jesus said, “What and if ye shall SEE the Son of man ascend up where he was before? IT IS THE SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profit nothing: THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and THEY ARE LIFE.” John 6:63
It is the Spirit that gives LIFE as you believe, receive and act on the Word of God!
It’s Free
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the waters of life freely” Revelation 22:17
Notice the offer: Come and take of the waters freely! The fruit of the garden was always offered on the basis of a free gift:
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.” Genesis 2:16
Jesus said,
“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath the Father sealed.”
Many people are laboring under man’s heavy yoke. Medicare plans that DON’T fully cover you! Hospital administrators who send you to hospice if you don’t recover in their time period. Social security system that restricts your abilities based on how much money to get every month! $500.00 for a bottle of medicine! You are being needled and pressured into a hard place by medical bills. Charged per pill, per ounce of medicine! $5000 per night for a hospital stay!
When Jesus healed the woman who had the issue of blood, he didn’t send her a bill for his services the next day. He blessed her and said, be whole of thy plague, go in peace. That’s because the garden of Eden had a build in power source. The river of God flowed into the garden to water the garden. God supplied every one of your needs when he rested on the seventh day of creation.
Revelation 22:1 reveals the source of the river! It comes out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. The river is a pure source, all mighty all powerful, all sustaining!
Again, There is a Holy Spirit inspired prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21, that says May Christ dwell in your hearts by faith so that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. How can these things be? He is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US
Jeremiah 2:13
“For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”
There is a daily battle for the hearts and minds of people! Revelation 18:23, the whore of Babylon deceived the nations by sorceries.” Lots of people are smoking the devil’s weed! Come to the water and drink!
Grace & peace!
“Up, Make us gods to go before us”
Exodus 32:1-2
“And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gather themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.”
Aaron told the people to break off their golden ear rings, the ear rings in their wives, sons and daughters’ ears. Aaron fashioned the gold into a golden calf. Aaron build an altar to the golden calf upon which they offered burned sacrifices and they worshipped it. Aaron declared a feast and caused the people to strip naked and they danced before at the foot of the golden calf.
Aaron declared:
“These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.”
This same scenario plays to the same tune down from the generations. People seek an alternative system to meet their needs. They made the same decision in 1 Samuel chapter 8. They asked Samuel to appoint them a king to go before them, to fight their battles, and to judge them.
Israel got tired of waiting on Moses and they decided to make a substitute for God. They gave credit for their deliverance to the work of their hands. They build an altar, offered burnt offerings and offerings of peace to the golden calf. Aaron declared a in feast celebration to their new found gods. The Bible said, they sat down to eat and rose up to play. They stripped off their clothes and dance into celebration of progress (Exodus 32:25).
The golden calf fashioned by the hands of Aaron has followed them around for generations, See 1 Kings 12:28. And if you can accept this, the same golden calf sits near Wall Street in the symbol of a Brass Bull. The Brass Bull, “It symbolizes Wall Street and the Financial District.” It also represent “optimism and prosperity.” People rub his testicles for good Luck.
God said,
“For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13
What are the two evils:
- Forsaken God, the fountain of living waters
- Investing in a broken system that can not contain value
Adam and Eve chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil over the tree of life. They looked at the first lie spoken to a human being, which the serpent weaved for them and to them was granted death in all of its glory!
Mammon
People have made money their god. They celebrate it, worship it, sacrifice family for it, swear by it. The love of money is the root to all evil…You can not serve God and mammon…How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
The promises of Social Security, Med-care and Medicaid, loans, schemes to get wealth, daily barrage our ears with promise of prosperity. Jesus clearly says don’t store treasures on earth where moth and rust corrode and thieves breakthrough and steal. He said, store your treasures in heaven.
Man can’t fight your battles,
Your battles are spiritual in nature. We are in a warfare against spiritual forces. Jesus said, ‘Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.‘ People are stuck in the details of this love-hate relationship with God and money and they are unable to access life.
Man can’t lead you in this battle. God has put the source on the inside of you!
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and done all to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-13
