08-01-2007

4^th Day of the week, which is called Wednesday!

You are the Great and Mighty Power, O God! You are the Only True and Living God! You are Faithful to watch over us to keep us from running and jumping into things that will cause failure to all that we desire to do. You are watching out for our success! Praise shall always come to You!

Many people get bright ideas, and try to start businesses! They go forth to borrow money to build up an inventory, and to get a place to operate from! The lenders usually ask a common question of people, saying, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?" You speak something that you think might impress them: but, you don't know you are being led into transgressing immediately, because you are trying to project the future, which you have no power over! Most of these businesses are not going to get out of the first year! You started your business over a year ago: but, where is it now? Is it supporting itself, and all that it needs to support? Or, is it still depending on someone else to keep it afloat, like so many seemingly big companies are depending on the government to keep them afloat, because all of those people will lose their jobs? And, you are not aware of the fact that you are working with darkness, which is designed for your failure! You see yourself as this successful person; that is a delusion! And, you see all of these people who are advertising over televisions! Those people are being paid to do those commercials just to get you to follow in the way they are being used to advertise. You are the sucker that they are trying to reach, because they know they have spent much money creating you to be one of the suckers! You are following in the way they have taught you! Most of these businesses fail! The best way is to work a plan that the Lord will give you! The only hole that you will make is the hole that you sow your seed into: but, any business that starts by the way that the world gives them, starts off in a great financial hole, because they teach you to go borrow what you need for the business to get started! That is why these lending agencies are set up; and, that is the way they make their money! They are depending on you being in a "hurry up" and a running to and fro spirit! They feed on your anxiousness! This is something that you have to pay back! But, it was noted in the Scripture that a widow went to Elisha, a man of God, to inquire of him about her problems! The Lord spoke with her through the man, telling her to go borrow of her neighbors empty bottles! Empty bottles are returned empty, because that is what you borrowed! The product that you are working with already belongs to you! You are already starting out as the tail, because you are having to borrow money! Borrowing money is evidence of being a tail! How can a tail grow up to be a head? Be patient; and, work respectfully with the plan that the Lord gave you! And, don't be found depending on those who have shown themselves to be unfaithful! Whom are you depending on as being a supplier? Amen!

What does the man of God do while the people are getting their businesses up and going? He is sometimes given to work a work as a self-employed man, using a talent, which the Lord has given him to support himself until the people are brought forth with the fruits of their success. This is what the Lord was showing in the time of Moses when the people would start bringing in their Tithes after three years! That gave them enough time to get their fields plowed, and their crops harvested! If you are working strictly according to the plan that the Lord gave you; you should be prospering greatly! If you are not: it is because you are not working according to the plan that the Lord gave you! The Apostles spoke to the people about wishing that they did reign as kings, so that the Apostles could reign with them! What he is saying that if the people were increased, the Apostles would also be increased in that which they would receive as Tithes and offerings, because all preachers have to live on that which is provided for them in the Gospel! They receive the 10% of that which you gain. This was also shown in Exodus, saying, "So, Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But, Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword." When the people are failing to support the men of God, the enemy is prevailing against the people! The fighting portion of the Church, which are the Holy Angels, are not fighting for the people, because the people are failing to do their part for the preachers! But, when the people are doing their part in supporting the preachers, the Angels of the Lord are fighting for them against their enemies, and the people are prevailing! Notice how Aaron and Hur paid attention to what was happening; and, they made Moses comfortable, and added support to him. The stone that Moses sat on symbolized the Lord upon whom he sat! But, flesh and blood did offer support, and gave their support! To whom has the Lord given this awareness to be aware of what is actually going on? But, many are saying that they are giving their Tithes: but, you are not supporting one that is a true man of God! You are supporting those whom you have chosen, and not those whom God has chosen and sent! That is why the devourer is eating you up! Amen!

Respect the All Knowing and All Seeing God! And, respect those whom He has chosen and sent! Not doing things exactly the way He gave them to you to do will be the cause of failures! Remember this: 2^nd Chronicles 20:20: "Believe in the LORD your God, so shall you be established; believe His prophets, so shall you prosper." People are not going to prosper as long as God does not see them giving all respect to what He is telling them to do! It is vain to try to fool someone into thinking you are doing everything that God has commanded you to do, when it is God who will determine whether you succeed, or fail! God will not allow anything that He has told anyone to do to fail, when they follow all of His instructions exactly as He laid them out. Even your attitude counts in your success or failure. God has dealt with you in getting the proper attitude about everything that He has spoken, because all things must be exactly the way He said for them to be before He will cause the success to come forth. This is part of what you spoke, saying, "Unto them, which are in darkness, show yourselves!" Everything that need to be removed, the Lord is showing it to you; and, everything that needs to be added, He is also showing you! God wants to see you with an orderly and successful business! He will not help anyone who has taken away from what He said, or added to what He said. Remember all of those who try to inject other suggestions, and watch for them. These are willing or unaware agents of the darkness, who are trying to get you to change something that God gave you, so that this will fail. Also, watch for that bitterness that will try to come in because you were told to change something that you were excited about doing! God is watching all of this! Don't let Him ever see anything like that coming forth out of you! Others may not know it: but, you are hoping for success! The Help to succeed comes from God! The darkness is exactly what God said it is, because He created it! The darkness is made to desire your failure; and, will cause you to fail if you lean to it. Remember the Words of the Lord from the Book of the Lord, saying, "Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things: but, condescend to men of low estate. Don't let pride come in to rule over you when dealing with people with lesser knowledge! There are always those evil spirits in the midst trying to get you to be lifted up with pride; and, stubbornness is also a great tool that they use. You start to think yourselves to be smart; and, you start to look upon others as being stupid! You speak in private with those of your kind and age group, and laugh at the men of God! Secretly, you think you are smarter: but, you pretend to show respect! That is a big mistake on your part! You cannot see yourself: but, God is causing you to see yourself according to how He is seeing you; and, is warning you about how you are being deceived into failing in all that you are trying to do. Be not wise in your own conceits." Don't think yourself to be smarter than God by thinking yourself to be smarter than those whom He has chosen. In youth I know that there is vanity! I was once a youth, also! I saw the failures because I thought I was smarter than those who had gone before me! I also had the bright ideas, and figured I knew more than others! I was also praised for my success: but, all of that success did not last! I saw the troubles of heart that came because of that way; and, I know you are thinking even as I was caused to think, because the evil spirits that infected and influenced me, are also here in these days influencing you! Don't get bright ideas, and jump up to do things: but, remember the ways of the Lord! Wait patiently upon the Lord; and, He will order all of your steps! Hope in Him! Help is there for you when you show respect to what He has given you! Failure comes when you operate by what comes forth out of darkness! Be sure of that; and, let nothing convince you otherwise! Be wise; and, remember the ways of the Lord! Enjoy your work! Amen!

The Lord will often show disapproval of your work: but, have the desire to work until you get it where it is pleasing to the Lord, no matter how many times you will have to go back and do it again! Show a zeal in getting it right! What you do could sometimes be declared as that clay object that the Lord declared as coming out marred in the Book of Jeremiah! You have to start over again, and do until you come to what is pleasing to the Lord! Remember: you grew up as a person who never considered doing what is pleasing to another: but, just what pleased you! Now, you are learning how to please the Lord; and, know that He cannot be made to accept anything that He said He would not accept. Everybody's work is going to be judged! Everyone will learn to provide things that are acceptable in the Sight of God! Amen!

O my God, Your help is Mighty! I ask that You would clear up all of these problems which we have noticed with the food store that is nearest us! Let the Help from the Lord come on our behalf, because You do consider the poor; and, help the manager to get faithful help! Let all of these unsightly things be removed, I pray Thee! And, I don't look for a reward, nor praise for this asking! Thank You for making me aware of the Power that You have given me! It is good to be made aware by You! It is good to see problems, and know how to respond to them in the right ways! It is good to see how bitterness was trying to creep in! Amen!
