Are You Being Tempted ?

I was writing my tithe & offering checks, and I noticed I was going to be very tight on money for the next two weeks, because of increases in recent expenses, like electricity to heat my house. The owner never fixed the gas log fireplace, so its use electricity or freeze. I had already dropped the thermostat lower than anything I had ever used, hoping to lower the upcoming bill.

I have tithed ever since getting saved, and I believe even preachers should tithe and offer. JPH also tithes. I want to be obedient to the Word of God in everything.

As I began to make out the check, I heard Satan whisper: Wow, it sure would be nice to be able to keep that, and not be so tight on money.

To which I replied: Nope, not doing it! If I keep that, all the rest of my money will be CURSED. No thanks – Not today, Satan! Not today!!

As I began to pray for strength in this and for additional finances to get through these days, the Lord began speaking to me.

My Daughter, you have done well to resist the enemy's taunts and temptations. My people are all being tempted not to give right now, and many will fall to that temptation, believing they will suffer no consequences. Many of them overspent recently and now must pay the price otherwise, so they will choose to steal from My coffers rather than do without themselves.

Tell them, My daughter – tell them that stealing from Me, especially in this late hour, will bear terrible consequences, not only for them but also for their families and loved ones, for it opens the door to the enemy's destruction.

If they fall to the enemy's temptation, they will begin their next season in disobedience, and spend their year in want.

Tell them I love them and I desire they would prosper, but I cannot prosper them without their obedience to Me in these things.

Malachi 3:10
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.

Matthew 23:23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

The Price of Your Faith

By Glynda Lomax on Dec 28, 2017 12:30 am
   Ask yourselves, what condition would cause you to lose faith in Me, the One who is able to save your soul?
   If your family is taken in what is coming, would you deny Me?
   If your wealth was taken in what is coming, would you turn your back on Me?
   If your beloved is destroyed in what is coming, will you turn away your heart from Me?
   What is the price of your faith in Me? Do you believe, or do you demand I do this or that for you to believe in Me?
   You must ask yourselves these hard questions, My children, while there is yet time for your faith to become real. 

Matthew 10:32-34
  • 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
  • 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
  • 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

John 6:67-69
  • 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
  • 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
  • 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Luke 17:5
  • 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Luke 22:32
  • 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
