Faith, money and truth
Faith is Now, Not Tomorrow Faith comes from the Word of Jesus, but it operates through faith itself—meaning it flows from a person living in revelation through an intimate life with the Spirit of God. Institutional churches do not want the Apostle; if they did, they would already have one. The big question is whether a ministry that is not started with money, but is birthed to raise up the true temple of God, can ever awaken already existing churches. These churches are in a state of panic, answering every question by explaining what they see with their physical eyes, rather than looking through their hearts.Tomorrow cannot bring you anything—that is merely human hope. Today is entirely about what already exists and who holds the Truth. Faith is believing that something has already taken place, just as Jesus died on the cross and, as the Bible says, you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing.A lack of faith can never be compensated for by money. Pastors claim that the money is for the revival of tomorrow, but that is a lie. Today is the day of salvation, and today is the revival—not tomorrow. If you cannot see with the eyes of your understanding, which are the eyes of your heart, you have never truly eaten the Word of Truth.
Do Not Let Money Shape You Abraham did not want money from the world, because as he said: "They will not have the opportunity to credit themselves for making me rich, nor will they direct and shape me."The love of money is the root of all evil, but money itself does shape a person. When you look at how many Christians are being shaped today, you clearly see the result: a total lack of the supernatural and a absence of miracles.Faith is the answer for a man in need, and the Apostle is called to lay the foundation and bring the revelation. This is given so that you may be able to see through the right eyes—the eyes of your spirit—and live a life that stands far above all concerns regarding money.
The Deception of Wealth Jesus never purchased anything, and He paid no attention to the money Judas Iscariot held in his possession—He simply knew that Judas was a thief. Everything Jesus had, He received through the providence of God from the women who followed and supported Him.Throughout Scripture, we see that money causes all kinds of problems, and even leads to death. You can take the money away from a person, but you still may not have the ability to take the love of money out of the man.Moses rejected the riches of this world because he knew that the time for earthly pleasure is fleeting, while eternity lasts forever. He chose to walk with God and be supplied by Him, rather than by this world. Do you really want to limit your life when you can have life from above?The pursuit of wealth weighs you down, and at the moment you least expect it, it extracts your true life. By chasing material wealth, you miss out on experiencing heaven on earth. You cannot buy your way out of the agonizing anxiety of constantly wanting more and more. It is like trying to put out a fire with saliva—it only leaves you thirstier than before. The real currency comes as a result of eating the Word of Truth.To earn money or to be worthy of heaven—that is the question for those whose faith is like the waters of the great oceans, moving with one wave here and another wave there. But when you rely on spending money, you will fail to reach out to the Lord when you are truly in need.It is not the love of money that is the root of all evil. It is the love of MONEY that is the root of all evil. Otherwise, the Scripture would have simply said that greed is the root of all evil. The truth leans heavily in the direction that money itself is the culprit in this drama.
If Jesus truly saves you from death, why can't a Christian believe Him to be their provider? Why do you insist on being supported by money? Can't Jesus supply you according to His riches?I would rather get my help from absolutely anywhere else than from begging for money, that is for sure. If a church must have money just to turn on the lights, then go sit outside instead. And if a preacher must have a microphone to preach, then speak louder instead!
The Objective Truth I love Truth. He is so liberating and so obvious. To be near Him is to be in the light. In Him, I feel complete as a human being, and that leads me to receive Him so I can be fulfilled and become one spirit with the Holy Spirit in Him. Thanks be to our Father. Now I am in Him, and all things are already finished. He made the complete, perfect sacrifice on the cross in order to release you from a sinful mind. There is no room for other ways to glory—not money, not human actions, not religion, not anything. In the new man, Jesus is the head, and we who have received the Truth are the body. Through the blood of Jesus, I am everything to Him, and He is everything to me. I am one spirit with the Holy Spirit.You can never reach the Truth through humanism, or by relying on what you merely think is right or wrong. For example, if you say, "My mother introduced me to alcohol when I was under eighteen years old, and that was wrong of her to do," the Truth loses its value to you, and your own power shifts into your natural senses. Humanism begins in man, and it always ends in catastrophe, because the Truth is objective.Humanism strikes an extra blow for the subjective. But the subjective path can never alter or affect a person's ultimate, eternal destination—even if their aspirations and goals were built on what they considered a good performance on a secular foundation.
