I knew the Holy Spirit was showing me that the more I pressed into God, and stayed in the Secret Place, the more the Holy Spirit would do in me, the Gold was faith, as was the muscle being worked. I understood, that if I wanted a ministry like Elijah’s, it would only be found in a the place of Prayer and the Word.

The Secret Place is a place of refreshing, and Burning, the reason most people avoid it is because it’s a huge mirror. In it we see our own sinfullness, our own brokeness, rejection, wounds, hurt, hate, shame, and the list goes on. The reason the Holy Spirit shows us these things is so that he can remove them. If you hate, or are scared of the fire you really don’t know or understand the Secret Place. I know Christians who have been serving the Lord for years, and are still stuck on the same wounds, pains, hangups etc.. and part of my heart pities them, the Other says it’s time to get serious.

The price for healing is huge, but unless we pay it, we will only be raising up other broken disciples. We teach what we know, but we reproduce who we are. Gos desires to bring us into the Secret place, strip away all the masks, give us a face to face revelation of who we are and the pain and brokeness we still have in our hearts, and heal us. He wants to first of all heal our brokeness, and renew our minds about him, and ourselves, then he wants also to break us. This will never happen with just regular church services, and our lives as usual. It’s gonna take a real decision to get real with God.

In this place of hiddeness, God heals us, gives us his heart, before we were judgmental of homosexuals, we would never let a man get close to us, we hated our pastors, or the Big One we hate ourselves. (Ouch!!!!) All of Us struggle with this to some point. Cutters, porn addictions, alcohol addictions, people pleasing, low self-esteem can only be cured by the Fire of God! We need his fire to purge us of these things, and we need revelation from the Word of God about who we are, and who he is.

Oprah, Dr. Phil etc… will never really heal you. At most all they are are little bandages, most people wont stop long enough to really look at who they are, they hide it in Video Games, Evangelism, Prayer Meetings, Long Work Hours, T.V., Internet, Internet porn, Cartoons, even Bible reading. Pastoring, even teaching emotional Healing, Worship Leading, etc…

Fill in the Blank. Look at all the casualties throughout the years, you can think of many ministers who have fallen, and they are all still falling. Why? For this reason. They never let the Fire of God do a deep work in them. Their whole religion is formal, shallow, and even though there is signs, and wonders, on the inside they are still so broken, and as a result, (Let me tell all you ministers, your brokeness affects all your sheep) You think covering it up sweeping it under the rug makes it none existent, I say NO. It’s still there. If you never really say how you think or feel, people can still feel it, and are still affected by it, tremendously. So from one minister to another, it needs to be a top priority to heal yourself, then you can in turn heal others.

Healing comes as a result of the Secret place. Faith, Love, Hope the Fruit of the Spirit, all that is beautiful in God is a result of a Life in the Secret Place. So Now more than ever press in, get healed, delivered, set free, so you can in turn help others.

BTW, if you are ministering and you are under a porn addiction, or you habitually feed sin in your life, Even if you are under a Religious Spirit, Jezebel etc… and you minister, or even lay hands on people filling yourself with that filth, you will be accountable to God for it. (I mean praying for people by laying on hands) It’s time for us to get free so we can in turn set others free, and the only way is by abiding in the Secret Place. More than Lots of prayers even, but allowing God to do His deep work in our lives.

In this blog, apparently I’m the person writing it, so I’ll give you my own method for developing and sustaining a Spirit of Prayer. So I hope something I write would encourage you on in your pursuit of Jesus. First of all, Lev 6:13 is a huge verse, simply said, keep the fire burning. I thought on this verse, and after meditation, the Holy Spirit gave me this idea, to keep Worship always going in my room. I like Instrumental, so I don’t get caught up in words. Whatever works, this creates an environment where the Holy Spirit can dwell in, Live holy, in this environment, We want the Holy Spirit to feel comfortable, so if there is something you know is grieving the Holy Spirit, get rid of it. Don’t get religious about it, but just be led by the Spirit.

Second, is learn, and study different types of prayer, soaking, intercession, supplication, there are different types, and try to do all of them, not just the ones you like, (Me I’m a soaker, but the bible says you have not because you ask not, so supplication is important as well) etc….

The Word of God is HUGE, people that pray, but don’t fill themselves with God’s word are unbalanced. You need to spend time in the Word of God, How much? Enough. I wont put a particular time down, let the Holy Spirit lead you, but the more you put into it, the more you will get out. So throw off the hesitation, and even the 3 chapters a day, read the bible through in a year stuff. God is giving you a feast in his Word, so dont relegate it to some religious duty. Get lost in the Word of God, you wont regret it.

Fast, this is huge, when you fast, it puts your flesh in stronger subjection to your Spirit, It places you in a position to receive more from God, and even though it’s not fun, or great, it’s a necessity for the believer who wants to go deeper in God.

Fill yourself with teachings, I say buy a great devotional, I’m reading Loving God, from Mike Bickle, I love it, I go through it, and it helps me so much to get a better understanding of the Bridal revelation, the importance of Evangelism, The grandeur of God, etc… Also I like to run, so when I run, I have my Song Of Solomon teachings, I listen to those, and this as well helps me to get a better understanding of the Word of God, and of the Bridal revelation. Whenever I have extra money, I order other teachings, I get more worship Cd’s, I buy books I do whatever I can to feed my Spirit with the revelation of a Fasted Lifestyle, and How to grow in a Spirit of Prayer.

There are many myths about prayer, the only way to dispel them is to do it. Just pray, and you will get the answers for yourself, many of us are carrying around many lies of the enemy in our minds about a life of Prayer, or we are content not praying, (I say if you wont a truly fulfilling, wondorous, exciting life, the Only way is to have a life of prayer). I also want to put in a disclaimer, Many people think we know more than others, Perhaps because of Age, etc… I say ask God for a teachable humble Spirit, Even if we know, some, or alot, humility is the road to God, the Bible says we are in a body, and we all need each other.

I reference Mike Bickle, there are others, Lou Engle, Dr. Cho, Mahesh Chavda, Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson, Pastor John Kilpatric, etc… I have studied all these men, as well as Todd Bentley, Jason Upton, John Wesley, Paul the Apostle, Jesus, and whoever else I can get my hands on regarding prayer. I go for the Fathers because I realize many of these men Of God have been sustaining a life of Prayer since before I was even born, and I’m not to proud to say they can’t teach me anything.

As the younger generation, we don’t know more, and they have paid the price, so we can stand on their shoulders, so be humble to receive their lives, but bold to take your stand on their shoulders, and get a double portion of their Spirit.

Lord willing I’ll write my next blog on the River, and Ezekiel, from Ez. 47, either that or the Apostle Paul, until then

Try walking out in the dark without oil in your lamp, it makes it kinda hard. So the foolish missed his coming, also they asked the Wise virgins for oil, but the wise answered them no! Now were they greedy, no, but in a sense yes.

They weren’t greedy in the sense they didn’t want to help, I’m sure they would of loved to help, but the way it works is simple, the amount of oil wouldn’t suffice for two people.  Looking at this parable at face value, and I’m sure many have heard this preached, but I want to give it a little different slant.

I said earlier, in a sense they were greedy, and it’s true, HOW? It’s the same type of greediness we need to develop. A greediness for intimacy. We need to get greedy for him, To be with him, to set our time to meet with him, and let noone interrupt.  Jesus likes to appear at the times when for us it is the most inconvienient. He lets us know when he’s coming, but it is still always a surprise. Why is that, He rebuked the people of his day for not knowing the time of his arrival, but it was foretold in all the Old Testament. If we let the time of his coming catch us by surprise, the same rebuke will be given to us.

He has given us his game plan on how the end will turn out, (Book of Revelation, and Book of Daniel) He even in the book of Daniel tracks the movements of the Antichrist, but still countless believers and unbelievers will be caught up in the flood of ignorance and disillusion.

Has anyone ever thought it weird Jesus gave this parable directly after explaining blow by blow the end-time scenario, (Which by the way never puts the rapture before the tribulation, read all the end-time scenarios in the gospels, you will never see the rapture before the tribulation).

Anyways, don’t you think it odd Jesus puts the parable of the Virgins after his discourse on End-times. So I interject that eventhough the Parable of the 10 virgins is intimacy, it has a deeper meaning, and it’s a warning from Jesus to know the times we live in. He is saying trim your lamps for you need to know when I’m coming.

I personally believe he was telling his disciples understand (When) I’m coming, the oil is more than intimacy, it’s the understanding of when I arrive.

To verify this belief of mine, look at verse 13. of Matthew 25.  I know Jesus said you won’t know the day, nor hour, only the Father can know that. He did say you will know the season. Understanding this will help you to understand the rest of Chapter 25 as well.

So in short, I want to say that well trimmed lamps in the lives of believers, deals with our filling up of his presence, and word, but also knowing the time of his appearing.  So I hope you enjoyed this, next blog will deal with Paul’s passion. What was it, hint he said may I never boast about anything but the Cross of our Lord Jesus. He also said I determined to know nothing among you but the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, and finally, Look @ Galatians 3:1.  By now you should know where I’m going with this. I’ll probably post it tomorrow.

This is my passion, so anyways, Hosea is a repentance preacher. really, he is a man with a word from God to the children of Israel to repent. They have sinned against God, and they better get right with him. The cool thing I like about it however is that the repentance is filled with the Bridal revelation.

Jeremiah touches this as well, but God is not pictured as a mad God going to blow up the World, but as a jealous Bridegroom that is longing for the affections of his people. This is the way I see Jesus, when he looks at his church in the west, I can hear him say to us the verse in Revelation you’ve lost your first love. Yeah you do things so well, but really its just a big show, lives aren’t being changed, Marriages aren’t being healed, people are comptemplating suicide, and the only thing they hear on Sunday morning, or in church preaching is how to get money, or how to get their body healed, (I’m thankful that the word is being preached, but there has to go out a call that was heard before Jesus came, behold the Lamb of God, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand).

I believe that God is raising up a company of John the Baptists who will lift up the cross, Lift up the Blood of the Lamb, and will crush every other gospel that is centered in the American dream, Humanism, or whatever focuses on me and mine. (At least this is what I pray for).

So back to Hosea, God speaking says, Hosea 3:4,5  For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without a teraphim, Afterward shall the children of Israel return and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the Latter days.

When I was recently reading this the Lord opened my eyes to this verse like I have never seen it. He says in verse 4 basically he will remove all the stuff he gave them. Some by his own will, and some by their asking, so that verse 5 the children of Israel would actually seek him.

When I saw that I thought, wow, that is so like us. He gives us all this cool stuff, Church, friends, marriage, kids, jobs, ministries etc… and instead of us enjoying them, and them being in their rightful places, we use all these blessings to choke out, and remove God from his rightful place in out lives. Jesus said seek first his kingdom then all these things will be added Mat 6:33 but the problem is after all these things are added, we quit seeking him first, and instead replace it with all these things.

God said you will have no other gods before me, so if this blog can change at least one person, then it can help to turn the tide of the church in the west, and possibly even turn the course of this nation to put Jesus back in his rightful place. He’s a jealous lover, and wants us to be his, completely his. Wholehearted Lovers. His jealous flame will buen and remove all the things we put in front of him and he will strip us and bring us to the place where its just you and him. Story of Jacob. If you want to wrestle he will win.

So ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart, and to remove any and all the places you’ve put something else before him, once again, lets make Jesus number 1 in our lives, for most this just means a change in priorities, I can guarantee it, it might start out a little slow, and booring, but if you’ll stick with it, your pursuit of God will be the most exciting thing you’ve ever done, it’s infinitely more Fascinating than Nascar, College football, relationships with others, or whatever else you’ve put before him.

So that’s all I’ll say to that. My Pastor back home used to tell me just grow where you are planted. So that’s what I’ve determined to do, until the Lord moves me. The bright side however is that I’ve had some good time to spend with the Lord. He has been speaking to me some good stuff, and right now I’m determined to keep going deeper, to dig up the nasty stuff from my heart, I’m just now finishing up a LONG time of generational deliverance, and so now after such a long North Wind, it feels good to finally have the South Wind blowing. So this is a good season. I have been thinking about what to write, and first I want to encourage any readers out there to first of all continue in the mundane. If anyone is experience oriented, I am. I was saved in the Brownsville revival, I went to an on-fire AG church, and then spent some years in Bible college at the revival, I remember days and nights of being in the presence of God, and I have experienced all types of manifestations of the Holy Spirit, drunkeness, gold-dust, Feathers, gems, sick healed, I sat under a ministry in Africa where the dead were raised. ( I never saw it myself, but heard many stories) Angelic visitations, visions, I have honestly had more dreams and visions, than I can remember. I hear people say they don’t dream much, I have had more dreams than I can recall.I remember one time talking with an old friend I haven’t talked to in a while, and just in the conversation God healed him of an inner ear problem, it just popped, and then he could hear. I write all that to say, in all that is not the answer.

I love the Holy-Spirit, I love the moving of the Holy-Spirit, but I see a problem with many of my friends that I’ve had for a long time, the problem is when the fragrances aren’t there, when there’s no drunkeness etc.. they all just seem to adapt to the surroundings. God has called us to be thermostats, not thermometers. Meaning we are to set the pace, the Temp. in the Spirit, not to adapt to the surroundings.

The way we set the pace is through our own personal walk with God. Jesus said John the Baptist was a bright shinning lamp and the people chose to ejoy his light for a little while. That’s what I see with so many people, and so many of my own friends, so many just want to enjoy someone else’s light. I say we need to be like the 5 wise virgins that got their own oil.

We need to be people of the Word and presence of God. Part of this involves our own healing, and renewing our mind unto who Jesus really is, (not the Heavenly Santa Clause so many of us see him as in the West). Also not some mostly Sad, or Mad God. If we are his children, he is our affectionate, loving, happy, generous, tender God. He parades us around, and loves us unconditionally. We can’t approach him with our hearts guarded, we have to let down all the walls, the fears, the pains, we’ve got to open our Hearts up to him, so he can heal us.

To burn brightly consistently, we need to be people of his word, Reading, meditating, studying  his word. People that seek him in prayer, intercession, worship, and people who are honest with him. As we increase in our devotion, our fire will also increase. We need to fast, set apart times of prayer, etc… Book of Joel, call sacred assemblies. As we do the unbelievers, and believers alike will His presence in our midst, and they will be stirred to jealousy, as will his people (the Jews).

So thats my little bit today, next blog will deal with some stuff in Hosea the Lords been showing me, it’s good stuff, about God removing all props so we will seek him.

Soaking is also an awesome time for meditation on the Word. Get a passage from the Word the Lord is speaking to you about, and meditate on it. Just tell it to yourself over and over, think on it, over and over, and as you do it gets the Word out of your head, and into your heart. I have been meditating on God is Love lately. 

In this time of meditation, and prayer, the Holy Spirit is opening my understanding to the truth of God is Love, not what he does, but who and what he is. All his judgments, decisions, and workings are based in 100 percent love. If you are something, then naturally what you do will be an overflow of who and what you are. 

Soaking is great for just having a good time with the Lord. Most of the time the Lord speaks to me in my soaking times. Or reveals himself in a powerful, or special way. 

The How to’s of soaking are easy. I like Instrumental C.D.’s so I can’t get caught up in words. I also pray over my heart in these times, and oftentimes the Holy Spirit starts doing surgery. I repent of any sins, enter in by the Blood. and just wait, I lie down like Samuel, I don’t say much, just wait on the Lord and he meets me in profound ways, so I want to try to stir a hunger in all who read this for at least one part on their day, get rid of the prayer request sheets, and just wait, or start your intercession with waiting. When you feel a release to intercede, then do so, but first fellowship and gaze on the Beauty of Jesus. You will never be the same.

FATHER RELEASE GRACE FOR ME TO SIMPLY SIT AT YOUR FEET LIKE MARY, HEAR YOUR WORDS, AND GAZE ON YOUR BEAUTY. AMEN

The book of Romans says with the Heart man believes, so the enemy tries his hardests to get to your Heart. If he can place lies in your heart, you will believe them. Shame, Low Self-esteem, lust, the enemy comes in with all these things to afflict humanity. He comes in through the avenue of Pain. 

So many things have been done to us, abuse, molestation, abandonment, and when we sin, the bible says the wages of sin is death. Death is introduced into our hearts. Our hearts are hurt, then come fractures, pains, etc… and in these fractures the enemy love to hide out, and there he afflicts us with his lies.

In Song of Songs, the Shullamite says take from me these foxes that spoil the vineyards. The Vineyard is the Heart, the foxes are all the little areas in our hearts where the enemy lies out. So we pray with her Lord go into our hearts remove the lies. Example, if our hearts are founded in Pain, and someone does us wrong our reaction will be to attack back. We will get bitter with them, and perhaps even hate that person. If our Hearts are rooted and grounded in Love, then someone does us wrong, and Like Jesus, we will Bless them. We will pray for them. (In a good way lol) Its all going back to our hearts, a good foundation. 

Remedy is simple, pray over your heart, ask the Holy Spirit to come in and bring healing to all the hurt broken areas in your soul. In doing so the enemy will have no place to hide out in. As the Holy Spirit brings healing, the foundation of your heart, and your life will be healed, and put back together. The person, man or woman who did you wrong, perhaps rape, molestation, any other thing that was done to you in your life, God will bring healing to that area in your heart. 

You will be able to truly forgive and release that person. You will be free, and as a result, you will really enjoy this life God has given you. Also fill yourself with God’s Word. Especially if the Holy Spirit is doing some surgery in you, Song of Solomon is so good on a heart under Holy Spirit surgery, let the truths of this book wash over your heart and mind, that you are your Beloveds, and he is yours. 

Healing and establishing your heart on the Word of God is the key to getting a firm foundation. 

Put your hand on your heart, Pray, FATHER, YOU SEE MY BROKENESS, MY FAULTY FOUNDATION, THE PAINS, THE HURTS, THE BRUISES, I ASK YOU RIGHT NOW TO OPEN MY HEART, ALL THE HURT PLACES, OPEN THEM UP AND FILL THEM WITH YOUR HEALING OIL AND WINE. REMOVE THE FOXES THAT SPOIL MY VINEYARD. RELEASE YOUR LOVE INTO THE DEEPEST AND MOST BROKEN PLACE IN ME, GIVE TO ME A STRONG, FIRM FOUNDATION THAT I CAN BUILD MY LIFE UPON, THANK YOU FATHER AMEN

This is part of my legacy, something I want to leave to the next generation, for however many there are until Jesus comes. We are transformed (changed into the image of Christ) by the renewing of our minds, (In the Word) If you want to be like Jesus, then get into the Word, the transforming comes by the Word of God. 

For a little manna, a little food for your soul, I want to write about what the Lord has been doing with me, I have been reading in different places in the Word. I think the thing I want to write about now is what the Lord has been doing with me in the Gospels. I have been going through the Gospels in a new, fresh way. The Lord has been speaking to me from the Gospels, More than anything about the Humanity of Jesus. Or Jesus in his humanity. 

Jesus in his Deity is an unfathomable subject. The I AM coming down into a virgin and growing up as a baby is an amazing subject. The creator of the Universe, taking on flesh and blood and living here with us. This subject is amazing. The God of Revelation, Genesis, The Great Judge coming down here as an infant, sitting next to God in the synagouge is outrageous. 

I have been seeing him in a different way, in his humanity. In his life, in every day decisions. In his Love for people, his sitting and watching sunsets. He created the Sun, and now he is watching it set. How amazing. What he liked to do, food he liked to eat, rising early to pray, company he kept. Paths he liked to walk, things we like to do just because they are fun to us. Me personally, I love Mexican food. I love Nachos especially, I also like a burger every once in a while. I enjoy excersizing. I like to occasionally catch a good movie. These are things I enjoy doing because they are fun to me. In the same way Jesus had things he enjoyed doing. I can see him as a young man looking at the people planting crops, esp. mustard seeds, and getting the revelation. The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, I can see him in school as a young boy getting excited about lunch.

The reason I say this is because, if we really want to know him, then we should want to know the things he likes. If you have a crush on a person, you will want to know what they like so you can do it with them, or at least be knowledgeable about that subject. You can sustain conversation with an art collector if you have a working knowledge about Donatello, Davinchi, etc….

In the same way, as we study the Word, we can have working knowledge about something he likes. The Feasts, the Fasts, book of Joel, Song of Songs, Gospels, etc.. So My encouragement for all who read this blog is to know Jesus on his terms. Study and do the things that please him. In doing so you will develop friendship. read and pray in the context of relationship,not religious duty.

FATHER, I WANT TO KNOW YOUR SON. REVEAL HIM TO ME, HIS LIKES, DISLIKES, INTERESTS, ESPECIALLY HIS WORD, THE WORD AND JESUS ARE THE SAME AS I GET TO KNOW HIS WORD I GET TO KNOW HIM AND I LEARN TO PLEASE HIM BY DOING HIS WORD. SO HELP ME TO LOVE YOUR SON MORE, TO BE A FRIEND OF THE BRIDEGROOM, NOT A FRIEND OF THIS WORLD. THANK YOU FATHER, AMEN.

The Lord has been showing me some things, and doing some cool things in my life. I am kinda more in a looking back, nostalgic mood. I guess it’s because of the New Year. I am amazed at the fact it’s a new year, 08 was super fast. Now it’s bout to be 09. Im excited, The future is awesome, and at the sametime to me it’s a little scary.  I know who holds the future, and I am confident in his ability to lead, guide, and direct me.

At the same time there is always a little twinge of fear that I feel. I think Lord I know you have a plan, I want to do my best to stay faithful, and to fulfill YOUR PLAN for me.

I feel here and everywhere that people are always trying to pull me into their plans and will for my life, and I want to do my best to stay on the course that the Holy Spirit has set before me. So I think that’s really my goal, resolution. To do my best to stay on the course that God has laid before my feet.

I think of Psalm 119 the whole psalm speaks of living in the Word of God. One of my favorite passages is “Thy Word is a Lamp to My feet and A light unto my Path.” I think as we stay in the Word of God, it will light up The Father’s will for us, and we will walk in the perfect will of the Father, (as best as we can).

So I guess that’s really bout it. Stay in the Presence, and the Word of God, and let it light up your path, so you will walk in the perfect will of God.

My new scripture I am sandwiching at least once a day unless the Holy Spirit leads me to do more, is as stated Deut. 28:1-14. All these scriptures allbasically deal with the financial standing of the people of God. I know in the past with some ministries and some movements these scriptures have been used incorrectly, well especially the whole idea of Propsperity has been really drug through the mud. Looking at it in an unbiased way, prosperity is a blessing from God. The Bible says God delights in the prosperity of his servants. There are so many financial promises in the Word of God tha to ignore them would be foolish.

As I said in another blog, it’s part of our inheritance, so to ignore it would be unwise. (Talking about the Bridal paradigm, not prosperity). I don’t believe inabusing it, or God’s people. I believe the Gospel is to the poor. I believe in the whole counsel of the Wod of God. Not just the parts I like. I believe we are called to fast. As much as in my flesh I hate it, I still do it, and normally encounter God in intense ways. I believe in offerings to the Poor. I believe we ae to heal the Sick. I believe in the full counsel of the Word. So I also believe in the Lords desire to bless us, and to prosper us.

I think of Abraham, David, Solomon, and many others who related walking with God to financial blessing. Now I also know of Paul, and others who wen without. I have my own beliefs and convictions which I wont share. I do however know that the Word itself is not to be argued but to be believed.

Now with that said, I want to talk about Deut. 28:1-14. As I said earlier, I started sandwiching these verses, and already they are messing me up! I ecourage everyone to delve into these scriptures with an openmind, and heart wanting to hear from the Holy Spirit. Jesus said the Spirit will lead us into all truth. So read through these, as I said before in the sandwich method. Prayer, Word, Prayer.

Already the Holy Spirit is opening my understanding to these verses. I see how the Lord wants to bless us financially, we are to be the head and not the tail, the top and not the bottom. We are to give, and not to borrow. If the enemy rises against us, he will flee in 7 ways. The 1st and last verse 1,14, ae the bookends to walking in Gods abundance. Another way to say it is Matthew 6:33. Seek ye 1st the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Don’t stray, and serve other God’s Put Jesus first, and he will meet your needs. He will also go above that. Prophetically speaking, why is this important. I try to stay on top of what God is doing prophetically. Al least in my own life. The reason why this is important is, even now the economy is in a financial recession. As the days progress, and the world gets more cruel, and more economic problems arise, we are gonna need an anchor that we can hold onto. The Word of God is the only anchor that will see us through. Now then, if the Gospels to the poor, (BTW i think we should also give the rich an oppotunity to hear the Gospel as well), If the Gospel is to th poor, would it hurt for Jesus to have a kingdom full of millionares, or billionares. What for? So they can point themto Jesus not just with a tract, but with a meal, with a place to stay, not so they can mooch, but so they can get back on their feet. This isn’t about me and my 5 porches, 3 mansions, and eating at Outback everynight. This is finances for the Kingdom.

What about missionaries. (I don’t write this as a rebuke, but to state a fact). As far as sponsors, the only money I have received not from my Mom has been some money from a couple that live here in KC. I have written time and time again about my financial situation,  I have emailed and written to so many people and have received nothing from them. I have mentioned repeatedly that I am a missionary, and all together I have receivedbasically nothing, and there has been over 100 people tha have viewed this page and these writings.

I write this to state the point, I am done trying to get finances out of people. I know thats strong, I don’t say that with bitterness, or resentments. I say this because I see the way for the most part, the people of God are as much at the mercy of our economy as the unbelievers are. I say this is not right!

Our finances are in the hands of God, not in our own. Most people AMEN this, but don’t really believe or live by it. If they did, they would be more apt to give. Bible says, if a man sows sparingly, he will reap sparingly, if a man sows bountifully, he will reap bountifully. There are so many scriptures that link a believers receiving with their giving, yet so few give. I minister alot to the down and out, the poor, and I know that Jesus Loves you is nice, Jesus loves you with a basket of food is much nicer. Jesus loves you with blankets, socks,deodorant, shampoo, soap, is much much nicer. 

So  write all this to say, get into the Word increase your faith for finances, and lets get our missionaries supported, our poor fed, our marriages strong.2 main reasons for divorce are problems with intimacy, (sexual, opening our hearts). and financial. Jesus can fix both of these. So lets press in and get our problems fixed.
