Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ Jesus,
I mentioned in a previous weekly message God told me to start heavily emphasizing, again, His view and His laws of prosperity. Our Father said He has been, and is, pouring out His prosperity on those Believers who willingly and obediently operate in The Kingdom of God and have His heart for blessing others. God said we “are in the last days of the last days, and He is pouring out His grace on the world.” Our Father said, “My Children must understand that I, God, must work through people to have My will come to pass in the earth. I AM sovereign, but I am limited in the earth due to My Word. I answer to My Word. Man must execute My Word for Me. I own all the riches in the earth, but without My Children who are willing and obedient to do My will, I can do nothing with the riches. Money is required to print Bibles in various languages, to support missionaries, evangelists, preachers, and teachers, to put up satellites, to broadcast Internet, television, and radio signals throughout the world, to provide for the poor, the widowed, the orphaned, to fund the ministries that plant good seed in good soil in America and around the world, to build and maintain Godly Bible colleges and universities, to fund Godly legislation and Godly men and women to run our local, state, and federal governments. Money is required for everything to do with preaching and teaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ and with the advancement of The Kingdom of God throughout the earth. I need more of My Children, who I can trust with the riches of My Son’s Kingdom, that I can work through to accomplish My will.” Our Father must work through those of us He can trust to do the right things with prosperity. My Sister and Brother, I don’t know about you, but I want Jesus to come NOW to take us to Heaven for the marriage supper of The Lamb of God. If you share this desire, let’s hasten Jesus’ coming by being willing and obedient to His prosperity so the world can be completely reached with The Gospel of Jesus Christ and The Kingdom of God. Then Jesus will come. Amen!
Over the past three weeks, God, through The Holy Spirit, has impressed upon me the two greatest commandments in The Scriptures.
Matthew 22:36-39
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
These two commandments were nothing new to me. I’ve read and heard them hundreds of times. But, as The Father always does through The Holy Spirit, He taught me a greater depth of The Truth. The Father said to me, very clearly, “there is only one ‘thing’ that I specifically called out by name saying you can’t serve Me and this ‘thing’ and that I specifically said, ‘prove me’ about in My Word.” Immediately I knew what our Father was referring to in His statement. Money.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [money].
Malachi 3:10
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.
Our Father went on to say, “My Children cannot say they love Me with all their heart, soul, and mind if they don’t bring Me the tithe. It is Mine. They can dance, shout, throw up their hands, and proclaim their love for Me, but I can see their hearts. The tithe is the gateway to My blessings that I desire My Children to enjoy. I beg My Children to ‘prove Me.’” Then The Lord said to me, “And My Children cannot say they love their neighbor as they love themselves if they don’t give offerings as I direct them. I’ve promised them whatever they give up in this life for Me, I will return one-hundred fold in this life and in the world to come.” This was all our Father said that morning. It was enough.
Jesus, during His time in the earth, spoke about us entering His rest. This is confusing to a lot of Believers. The Holy Spirit, through Paul, tells us in Hebrews 4:10-11 that we are to cease from our own works and labor to enter Christ’s rest. Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 11:28-30.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
Jesus is simply and lovingly telling us that we, as Believers, can have no rest in this world apart from resting in Jesus Christ. Why? Because the kingdom of darkness is run by a thief and is designed to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Kingdom of God is ruled by Jesus Christ, and it is designed to bless, to heal, to prosper, to protect, and to deliver. In the same John 10:10 where Jesus identifies satan and his kingdom as a thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus said He was come that we might have life [read eternal salvation and The Blessing] and have it more abundantly. Apart from Jesus, you have no life. You have death and the curse. As a Believer, we are delivered, set free from eternal death and the curse.
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus is addressing the multitudes that are following Him. The Scripture is spoken by Jesus to both the unsaved and to the saved. The unsaved have no choice but to labor under the yoke of satan and the kingdom of darkness. But once we are saved, Isaiah 10:27 says the anointing of Jesus breaks the yoke of satan and removes satan’s burden from us. Did you know we can voluntarily put ourselves back under satan’s yoke and burden as Believers? This is also what Jesus is addressing in Matthew 11:28-30. He is lovingly telling us if we allow Him, He will gently remove the yoke of bondage to satan, and his kingdom, and replace it with His yoke. His yoke, or His Kingdom is based on the two great commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. This is the foundation of The Kingdom of God. Built upon the foundation of the two great commandments are the Spiritual laws of The Kingdom of God. The foundational Spiritual laws are the Law of the Seed, the Law of Sowing and Reaping, and the Law of Manifold Return. This is the yoke and the burden of Jesus Christ which He gives to us as Believers: Love and The Seed – God and His Son Jesus Christ. If we operate in The Love and in The Seed, we will always operate as “Victors Coming From The Victory And Going To A Success!” We will always be going to a success every day of our lives on this earth.
In closing, we have quality decisions to make in our lives. We either love God with all our heart, and soul, and mind, or we don’t. We either love our neighbor as we love ourselves, or we don’t. To operate successfully in The Kingdom of God and receive the blessings of The Blessing, we have a quality, or a “fully persuaded,” decision to make. Put God and His Kingdom first and allow God to add all the other things to us (Matthew 6:33). Or serve the world and satan’s kingdom. There is no in between, no grey area, no third rail. If ANYTHING comes between God and us, God is not first. If God is not first in our lives, we simply don’t love God with all our heart, our soul, and our mind. And, if God is not first in our lives, we cannot love our neighbor as we love ourselves. If we allow “things” to come between God and us, God’s love for us never changes. He doesn’t love us any less. However, WE prevent ourselves from entering the rest of Jesus Christ, from receiving the blessings of The Blessing, and from receiving the multiplication of our seed sown. Let’s don’t allow satan to deceive and to steal from us any longer. Give it all to God and put Him on the throne of your heart.
In Christ Jesus,
Larry
