Ears To Hear # 72

GOD REVEALS HIS
RICHES

   

         “Lord, who will believe this report?”, my somewhat doubtful flesh questioned.
         He answered: “Those whose ears I have prepared. I go before you and prepare the way. All you have to do is write what I am revealing in your spirit. It will give hope and peace to some who can believe. It is TIME (the season) for my children to prosper. (Ephesians 2:7). You are only one messenger. They will also hear it from other sources because this is My revelation for today. 
         “Don’t be concerned about what others think; just do as I tell you. Tell them the TRUTH.” 

God is a Good God
God is Rich
His Children are Rich
In all Things

         “Until now, they have not seen Me as Rich, nor been able to claim their inheritance. But, as many have drawn near to Me and their souls have prospered, following Me in the knowledge they had, now My riches are going to become manifest to the world.
         “I’m going to pour out My riches in so much abundance that the world cannot deny the prosperity of My children.
         “I am not a greedy Father. Because of My great love, I am Rich in Mercy and all good things.
         “Until now, I know My children have not understood this, but, I am revealing it NOW to many.
         “Many will receive and not know it is from Me. Others will receive and have abundant JOY because what they have believed in their hearts by my Spirit, are now coming to pass in the natural.
         “My children will prosper now in all areas, financial included, as I pour out My Revelation to them so they can receive and appreciate and Believe that their Heavenly Father is Rich and He is not selfish with His Gifts to His children.
         “They must not look at circumstances, but Believe what I am showing them in My Word…Receiving the Revelation and Walking In It.”

TO SIMPLIFY

         I believe that one of the calls on my life remains like the Angel Food messages, to try to make things simple that are far above our natural understanding. I continue to use pictures and everyday examples.
         Why, dare I speak the words the Holy Spirit gives me? Because I can’t help but share the good news with others.
         Just as Banjo, my deal little friend, the blue heeler, cannot help but run from time to time, to round up and herd sheep, goats, or cattle. It was bred into him and we cannot fault him for doing what he was bred to do. He cannot see a higher call in his life than what God has created him to do.
         I’ve seen him rest in between calls, and sit contented at his master’s feet. But, when the call hits him…he’s off and running full speed ahead.
         He’ll follow his call, no matter what. He’ll be a friend to those who will be a friend to him. Even when he is trained to sit quietly at his master’s feet, and no longer run in the natural. Somewhere inside of that little body, he will still be running. 
         And when he, even a little dog, has blessed others, and completed his work assignment on earth, God will call him home. Then he can run freely forever. We all shall. Praise God!

A RABBIT TRAIL?

         It may look like I was chasing a rabbit trail. But, it was to show that we will do what we were bred to do. 
         I will say, from time to time, what the Lord shows me. You will do what you have been bred to do. We are the “seed” of God and the “seed” of Abraham if we have come into covenant with God by receiving His Son, Jesus, and His Sacrifice to make us His own.
         He has and will tell us ahead of time, the things to come…and this is the day He is revealing His prosperity to more of His children. They will “see” it in the natural and so will the world.

TWO VERSES

         It took only two verses this morning, enlightened by God’s Revelations to excite and direct me. Without His revelations, I would not have been able to receive them. Please pray for His revelation to you personally in His Word.
         I saw: GOD IS RICH in Ephesians 2:4. And in 2:7, “That in the ages to come (I believe we are in this age), He might SHOW the EXCEEDING RICHES of His Grace in His Kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” I pray that you can receive this.

EXAMPLE

         When our Lord began to deal with me about a “spirit of poverty” that had been on my life for generations, I began to claim, understand, and speak the truth that my Heavenly Father is Rich and He provides for me richly so that I may bless others, not only in spiritual needs, but also in natural needs.

GOD WILL SURPRISE YOU!

         “Okay, Lord.”, I agreed with Him. “This beautiful place where I live needs a caretaker to keep it looking the best for Your Glory. I have been trained by earthly lords that I cannot afford to hire someone to do this for me.
         “I’ve also lived under the “self-sufficient” thought, that ‘Why should I pay someone else to do what I can do myself?’”
         Then I reasoned, “Surely, each workman is worthy of his hire. Someone needs work. I need help. And You have made provision for both of us.”
         It is wrong to see what we can get for nothing from others. It is definitely a “spirit of poverty” working in us.
         “Poverty is not of You, Lord. You are Rich. Your children are Rich.”

MY SURPRISE

         Yesterday as I approached the front door of the post office in Sabinal…I was halted as I saw a white truck parked in the drive way at the side of the post office. It seems I was being swept into a blessing without being aware of what was happening.
         On the side of the truck was the sign, “We do Yard Work.”
         Inside the truck was the brother of a young man I had befriended years ago…one of my students. Beside the driver was his wife and another young man who smiled a lot. I approached them and our conversation went quickly and pleasantly; full of surprises. Yes, they would work for me. Yes, they could do all I needed. Yes, they preferred to come once or twice a month.
         More surprise blessings.
         Then the young mother asked if I would be willing to tutor their thirteen year old son in reading. You could tell the mother’s heart was hurting for her son.
         Another surprise.
         Something I never expected. The father suggested, “We could trade-out. If you will teach our son, we will take care of your grounds for you as payment.”
         I was shocked! In the past, while I was walking in that ‘spirit of poverty’, this is exactly the approach I would have used…seeking to get something for little because I thought of myself as “poor”.
         Later, the Lord reminded me of something that happened perhaps ten years ago. I can’t remember. But, one Sunday, walking out of church, I followed this young man’s mother to the parking lot and wrote her a check for $100.00. It wasn’t that I thought I was rich at that time, but more a prompting from the Holy Spirit that brought His love and compassion to the surface of my heart. It thrilled me to see her blessed. No one but she, God, and I knew of this transfer of wealth.
         Yes, I forgot about that, but God didn’t. This lady is now in Heaven, far from the poverty of earth, but, guess what? She had a “seed” that I didn’t know about. I knew her other children, but did not know this son even existed. 
         Now God is using the seed of her body to bless me in more ways than I can know today.
         The Final Surprise: When I looked at the young man’s name, to place his phone number in my address book. Would you be surprised as I was, that his name is Adam? Praise the Lord!

PROOF FROM GOD’S WORD

          Exodus 32:13 “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit [it] for ever.”
          2Corinthians 9:10 “Now He that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;” 
         See for yourself. Please read: 2 Corinthians 9:8-15.
