I am the great one who died on a cross to save mankind from sin. I died to give man not only salvation but Power over sin and death. I am grieved in my heart to see the dominion that sin has over so many of My people.
This year I am calling My people to a walk that denies itself. I am calling my people to give. Not only to sow money in the Kingdom, but to give me time. I call My people to look for Me in the morning and throughout the day and again at night. I am calling My people to deny themselves time in front of their computers and televisions and spend that time in communion with myself and with the Father.
The time draws near the climax of all things. Time is getting short. This is not the time to invest in stocks and bonds. This is the time to invest in things that are in the sky. This is the time of abundance so that people can sow on good soil and promote My kingdom.
It is so difficult for My people to trust Me with finances. So few of My people give Me what is due Me. Many people spend more on entertainment each week than on My Kingdom. I cry real tears as people who could have known me die without the Gospel.
I am the God of freedom. I am the Lord of the lives of many people. These people who treat Me as Lord of their life, are given to Me, with their time. With his character, with his love for others and with his money.
I am looking for teachers, I am looking for preachers who will write My truth and share it with the world. I am looking for prophets who speak My word with faith and boldness. I seek apostles to bring My Church back to a zeal that they had in the days of the Early Church.
Do you trust my reader?
Do you think I’ll talk to you if you listen?
Do you want to serve me with all your heart and with all your gifts?
Do you know less than 5% of the people in My Body, the church really know and walk in their spiritual gifts that I have given them? Do you know that although my churches in the West think they are rich, they are poor and lukewarm?
Wake up my people!
learn to walk by faith
Learn to live with 90% of your income.
Learn to give to the poor and to give to those people who ask you for money.
Learn to obey me and turn the other cheek.
learn to forgive
Practice walking in My presence.
Begin to pray with faith, not for things that do not last, but for things that will make My kingdom prosper.
Start planting in the third world. Sow the shepherds and apostles and prophets in the East. Send your money to the poorest nations in the world.
Begin to deny yourself and take up your cross. You know it’s true when I said that those who try to save their life will lose it. It is also true when I said that those who lose their life for Me will save it.
I want my people to be known as people who love others selflessly.
I want My people to give. Not because of the notion that they will return. I want you to sow in the third world and among the poor and helpless in your own cities and do it out of love for Me.
There is a real treasure in heaven. The people who live a life of self-sacrifice on earth, the people who carry the cross of Christ and suffer for Me on earth really do reap greater rewards in heaven.
The Christian life should be marked by love and self-sacrifice, not by a life of prosperity that some people preach and make popular with people with itchy ears.
I come quickly and I will judge. Before the Great Day of the Lord there will be much suffering on earth, but as a righteous judge I will protect those who have been serving Me.
Economically difficult times are ahead for the world. You will not always have prosperity. A dark time is coming and in those times people who live by faith will be strengthened.
The world is dark now. My light is not that strong and My people are sick and go to doctors and live independent lives, not lives that really need my support.
In the East they do not have money for doctors and medicine and sometimes the prayer of faith is all they have to recover and My anointing heals them. In the West, however, you have a pill for everything and you’ll reach for a painkiller before you ask me to take your headache away.
I am a God who knows your heart. I know those who honor Me with their lips and whose heart is far from Me. When the times of judgment fall on the earth, very soon the tares and the wheat will separate. I will take the tares and throw them into the fire.
I know all the true doctrine in the world. I am aware of every truth in every church and every false doctrine. I can tell you that a lot of error is being preached and false teachers are alive and making a lot of money in ministry today all over the world.
These false teachers have million dollar houses and they have My anointing to heal and they can cast out demons, but their hearts have turned away from Me and their God is their belly and their lifestyle.
I can save millions of people through a teacher whose heart has turned away from Me, is it not My right? Does not my Word still have the power to save? Shouldn’t My anointing still have the power to heal the sick and cast out demons and do all kinds of signs and wonders?
Of course. I could give names. I could tell you men of God here and now that if you continue in your lifestyle without repentance, you will not inherit eternal life. They will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
This is the town that will tell me on that day. “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy and cast out demons and did many signs and wonders in your name?” And I will say to them, depart from Me, you who do iniquity.
Don’t you see people? When you are sinning and you do not repent of your sin, how can I forgive you? If some false teacher has taught you to sin and has made your lifestyle of idolizing money and wealth acceptable to you and you continue in that way with money as your teacher, both you and your teacher will go to hell.
Let me be frank here and repeat myself.
You can only serve a master. You cannot serve money and God.
Do you think it is easy for the rich to inherit eternal life?
How many camels have you seen pass through the eye of a needle?
My apostles wondered how a rich man could get into heaven. I told them it was possible with God.
But a rich man who was in love with God and not with his money would be giving me a lot of his money. He would be giving more than 20% of his weekly income.
You see when I become important in your life and you really have my heart for your neighbor, you want to use your money for My kingdom.
You won’t be sending your money to a prosperity preacher who already has homes worth millions of dollars and fancy cars. You would be sending a hundred dollars to a pastor in India so that he can buy a bicycle and preach to more people in his week. You will not be sending your money to a Christian TV station that only Christians watch, you will be supporting an evangelist in Africa who is saving millions of Africans.
Reinhardt Bonkke is quoted as saying, “I’d rather be a millionaire in souls than in money.” Now that’s a guy who won’t waste his money on his material wealth. Why do I insist so much on money?
Because you can only have one Master!
If your Master is Me, you will do what I tell you. I said that whoever wants to follow me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day.
Do you deny yourself something because of the gospel?
Really?
Even you people who faithfully title 10% of your income, are you really denying yourself as much as you could?
The world needs to be saved. I have people in every country faithfully working for Me. Mateo meets an apostle who needs to build more than a hundred churches. He already has congregations of up to a hundred people for the churches but he doesn’t have the money to build them. He is in India. A man I raised up who has planted 300 churches in the poor villages of India.
I have hundreds of men like him in India. Hundreds of people who need money like him. Not money to live, but money to do my job. Money that will not be wasted on salaries but will be used to build places of worship.
Some people don’t consider that I have emotions. Some in the West would think that I am a happy Jesus sitting here in heaven with all the poverty and sickness in the world and all the people going to hell every day. Some people cannot imagine that My Father and I cry for the people of the world. As I intercede for certain people, I cry before My Father.
If I told you to look for one thing this year, I would tell you to look for my presence. Seek to walk in the Spirit and know my abiding presence. Life in the world is going to become little by little more difficult. More and more false teachers arise in this hour and the world and the churches sing peace, peace, when there is no peace.
I implore you to give to the poor. I implore you to reach out to the brokenhearted. I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again. When you have a party and invite your friends over for dinner, go find some poor bum who can’t pay you back and bring him to your party and you will be rewarded in heaven.
You can live in My peace on earth. You can live in my will. You can live on 80% of your income. You can make a difference in the world. You can discover your spiritual gift this year and walk in it. You can make the world a better place. You can afford to support a pastor and buy him a bike. You can support a third world church. You can do anything in My name.
I’d rather you be an atheist and dead against Me than a lukewarm Christian who isn’t hot for Me. I’d rather you don’t even know My name than reject a beggar who can see My light in your face and bring My name into dispute. I would rather the church had fewer teachers of the Word and more prayer warriors.
Im begging you. Give me your time. Give me your obedience. Give my people in the East, My money. Because if I am your God, you should serve me with all your heart, mind and strength.
This year I will be raising up many people who are called to full-time ministry. Many of these have not been to college and are only trained by My Holy Spirit. These people will have gems of knowledge and wisdom, secrets that I gave them. Secrets like the one I gave you about who are the people who will say Lord. Lord to me on Judgment Day.
Be at peace.
I love Jesus
