Stop…..Thief!!!

I have finally got a favorable response, to an invitation to attend church with me. I must admit, that the Sunday school class got him, because we are studying, in the book of Revelation. I am very interested in the way, that he will handle himself, because he has sat under the teaching, of Jack Van Impe. He has told me a few interesting stories, about Brother Jack, and his ministry.  

I don’t believe that, I have ever even heard a famous minister preach live, other than one. That was really a waste of time, and of my money, in the Chicken bucket. That is what they took up the offering in, or at least, what it looked like. A white washed Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket, without the grease from the chicken!!           Maybe they do that to discourage withdrawals? 

I am so ashamed of saying who it was, because it was one of those prosperity preachers. You know those that say that God will increase you’re offering to them, either by thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold. Here is the verse that they base their lie for greed.

Mark 4:8  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

I understand what this verse is saying, and I can see how that it works. It is based on the principal, of sowing and reaping. I believe this with all my heart, and soul, for a couple reasons. The first reason is because, it is found in the Word of God. The second reason is even better, than the first one. The best reason to believe this is because, God Himself is speaking!! 

I don’t understand what you are saying James. You even said that you believe this, with all that you have to believe with, so what is the deal?    It is a Satanic way of twisting, the Word of God, in which to deceive, the children of God. That is how Satan deceives us, and has always deceived us. That is the way that he started in the Garden of Eden, and that is how he still does it today.

What better way to get the money out of Father’s children, than make us think, that Father wants us to do something with our money? After all, we as Christians actually know that, it is Father who blessed us, with all of our money. We don’t receive a thing unless; He allows it to come our way. (I am not saying that, everything that comes our way is good, for us either.) It makes most Christian folks feel good, to support the ministry, of our Father.

The reason that verse is a way of deception is because it cannot be used in every situation. It will not, and cannot, be taken out of context, and produce a harvest, for the one giving the booty. Actually, this verse is not talking about money at all. Father doesn’t care a thing about money, for goodness sakes. He paves His streets with Gold!!    Is that a good enough clue?

Do you know how Father, or what Father values His wealth based on? Excuse the pun, but Father is a soul man!! His greatest wealth is found, in His children whom He loves, and loves Him back.  Father has made all the things, which we as human beings count as valuable.             Getting back to the verse.

The verse is used deceptively, because they are using this verse to receive money, when it is talking about souls. The seed that is being sown is the Word of God. Sometimes it falls on good ground, which is a fertile heart, and those hearts, that were affected, by the Word bears fruit. There ain’t but one way to bear any fruit, and this is it.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing

The thirty, sixty, and one-hundred fold are the souls, who come to the Father, because of our belief. The only people who receive riches, because of this prosperity preaching are those, that are preaching it!! The rest of us poor, poor, Christians are depending on the Lord, to supply our daily bread, and are not being disappointed.  Day in, and day out, millions of Christians are being feed in many ways, because of our faith to trust, while the really poor folks are settling, for the gathering of riches here on the earth.   Amen?

Every one of us who God calls His children are so stinkin’ wealthy, that we can’t count the value, of our riches!! That is true, because most of our riches remain priceless.   What is the value, of spending all eternity with Jesus?     What is the value of living pain free?      Can you put a price on hearing our Creator; verbally speak the words of love toward us?   He has shown us His love since we were born. This is the greatest way, which Father showed us the love that He has for us.

Romans 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while w

e were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

There will always be those, that don’t care about us, but they do care about our money. The ministries need our help to survive, and it is our duty to place our tithes to God, in our home church first. Tithing is an act of worship just as much as praying, praising, or attending. Your tithe doesn’t just set in a back account gathering interest; it goes out to support several different missionaries who are reaping souls.    Do you realize that each soul that are reaped for the Kingdom, that you helped to finance, that you will receive partial credit?  

I can’t tell you what to do with your gift, that God has given you.  I have supported those who continue to this day to stack up the riches of this earth. Yes, I did drop a significant wad, in that chicken bucket, while it passed that day. I really hope that Joyce Meyer enjoys that mansion, that she lives in today. My prayer for her is that, when she moves out of that one, that she can move into a real mansion in Heaven.  Hell is not fit for any human being!!     Ain’t Jesus Awesome?
