     MY WALK              WITH GOD

​"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come."John 16:13

Mark 12
​

41 "
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
​
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."
God started putting this word on my heart about a week ago, but just today, when I was reading the Bible at Joel Chapter 1, He showed me what I was supposed to see about the word. Joel Chapter 1 has nothing to do with this word, but that is how God rolls in my life, that is how He speaks to me.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, in the blood covenant, and in Your Spirit inside of us. Thank you for making us doers and givers. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

So, in Satan's world, on earth, there are "needy" people, suffering, rejected, weary, 
because Satan tempted Adam and Eve, and they chose sin and death for mankind.

But God gives to the "givers" so they have more to give to God's children. I mean, having needy people is not a good thing, but that is not God's fault, nor is it His plan or purpose for us. Having "givers" though is supposed to make it bearable, right? Right! But only if the givers actually give to those in need.

Now, maybe breaking it down into the givers and the needy is a little harsh, but it is reality. God does not want man to be in need. He wants the givers to give, but Satan is real, and man has a choice.

For the givers that do give, they will be given more to give. Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

God, the Father of Lights, created us, and He knows the end from the beginning, because He made it all, and it all exists and is held together by Him.

Colossians 1

16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

verse 17 again: "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."  

What is the definition of consist? Below from dictionary.com:

​Quote: "to be made up or composed (usually followed by of): This cake consists mainly of sugar, flour, and butter.

to be comprised or contained (usually followed by in):Her charm does not consist only in her beauty.

Archaic. to exist together or be capable of existing together." End quote.

So, God is it! He knows it all, the end from the beginning, because by Him all things are made up, composed, comprised, contained, existing together [as One]!

As One, the body of Christ, One body with many members, and God as our head.

Malachi 3 verse 18: "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

Why did Jesus tell us to love our neighbor as ourself? Because they are us. We are One, in Christ: by Him all things consist, are One. Not just words! God's Word is alive, active and powerful, chock full of blessings and curses, and instructions on how to activate blessings and avoid curses, instructions on how to be like Jesus, and overcome this perverse generation, like Jesus overcame.

Jesus came to serve: Matthew 20:28  "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”

"And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." Mark 9:35

Matthew 20

25 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them]. 

26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 

27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] slave; 

28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”

Those who serve their fellow man now will be first in life everlasting. This flesh is temporary; this pain is temporary. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Love your neighbor as yourself. Help the needy. Not just needy Christians, but especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. If we have the necessities, clothes, food, shelter, heat, and they have not, God's Word says to give. Amen.

James 2

15 "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

Even so, faith in God, believing in Christ, without works, without giving, is dead, as one who barely escapes through the fire, which is judgment.

Finally, God tells us plainly about giving in Malachi 3:

Malachi 3

8 "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
​
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts."

Blessings and curses. 

Deuterononmy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"


We have a choice. Choose blessings. Choose life.

God further says that we mumble to ourselves, and say it is vain to serve Him. We say things out loud to question Him. We call the proud happy, and say that those that work wickedness lack nothing:

Malachi 3

13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."

When writing or speaking about tithing, I have quoted Malachi 3:8-11 more than once, but today, I read the remainder of the chapter again, and began to cry at verse 16. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving man.

verse 16 "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

Wow! Where to start? So, first man questions if serving God is in vain, because the proud and wicked people seem to get richer and more powerful. "Then"! Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: Those of like mind started gathering together, as in church. 

"And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord," Satan has taught people well these days to fear nothing; even infiltrating churches and teaching God's children not to fear God. That is not what God's Word  tells us: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

And, not just one scripture, but Jesus also said, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." ​Matthew 10:28

Fear God, not man.

The last part of Malachi 3 verse 16 says, "and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

In other words, Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.  

There is a scripture I read recently that I cannot remember or find - don't you hate that? It must have been in Ezekiel, maybe Daniel. It was about God's wrath to come, and how it would basically miss the people who were praising God or worshipping Him, like "don't touch them." I can't remember what it said exactly. If anyone knows this scripture, please comment and let me know. Thank you. Thank you.

This word from God today is not a commercial, but I do feel that some who read it may need to start sowing into God's Word and giving, in order to start reaping blessings of abundance. So, solely with that in mind, following is a link to the "Give" page for our church: Living Waters Assembly of God - Give. ​

​There are also many great charities to which one can and should give, but whatever you do, do not let Satan kill, steal and destroy your blessings of abundance: Give; give often; give regularly; give generously; give joyfully; give until it hurts. Because God is our ​Provider! He knows what we need. He will not forsake us.

All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen and amen.

God bless you all.
