WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS FOR WEALTH:

Have you ever desired to be wealthy or rich? Have you said, “God.. if only I had X amount of dollars.. I could buy a house… or X amount of money to give it freely or even X amount of dollars to build a sanctuary where people could come and worship you.”?

We’ve all been there a time or two. And there’s nothing wrong with desiring to help and give back or even build. But there comes a moment in a child of Gods life when he/she begins to desire “More”…

This is sadly where most Christian leaders are.. they want MORE… but I keep hearing a message that must be told: Pastors/Leaders/Children of God: Do not let your heart take a negative turn for the earthly desires. Truth be told, Jesus served his disciples in various locations, giving some of the best sermons outdoors on mountain tops.

To this, I say.. “Why do us humans have a desire to be “comfortable” in a chair, with flashing lights, a sound system with loud music when all that is, is just “Stuff”.. To hear Gods word and follow Him - all that’s truly needed is a pure heart, a bible and obedience to walk in faith.

I hope the Church is wise enough to decipher the messages brought through by God Himself and the lies Satan speaks.. because often times Satan likes to deliver messages packed in little white boxes (white represents purity) thinking we are too asleep to notice that they may look like Gods Words, but they are not God Words.. “Just as he deceived Eve in the garden”. Twisting scripture to meet his own wants.

So today, I ask the Church to take heed and watch for the small whispers from demons within your mind..


It is wise to forgo praying for Stuff/Wealth… as treasures built here upon the earth cannot be taken with us to heaven. Instead let us come together and Fast for Unity, Wisdom, Obedience and Love within the Body and more importantly Gods Will within the Church.

Let God and The Holy Spirit lead the Church in this pattern and watch how God responds. Brothers and sisters in Christ, when we fast and pray for UNITY within the Body - Power rises within that Body to be the hands and feet of Christ. When we pray for WISDOM we hear Gods Voice and know where to go and when to go. When we pray for OBEDIENCE, we stand firm on the foundation of biblical principles and not only hear Gods word, but follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. And when we pray for LOVE, Gods heart becomes prevalent in our hearts; great enough to not only impact the Church, but the Community.. In walking upon this narrow path… Favor from Heaven will Come and there will be no need to ask for it. For God deals with the heart of Man.

PRAYER:
In Jesus Name, let the truth of The Holy Spirit shatter all evil provoked thoughts of a man’s desired for idol wealth - and let the Church say, Amen. 🙏🏼

TRUTH BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
In Jesus Name, may all who read this Be Awaken and Healed from idol thoughts of a heart that desires earthly wealth. For in earthly wealth come idolization. I declare and decree that there is no other God - but one. For the love of money/wealth is the root of many evils. Idolizing money within the Church brings forth a heart of greed and any man that knowingly or unknowingly has idol greed within his heart has sinned against God. My brothers and sisters do not be deceived by lies from Satan and a corrupted heart. Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit of the Lord has spoken.

MUST WE BE VULNERABLE?

“The Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.”
PROVERBS 5:21

“The word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.”
HEBREWS 4:12-13

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
PSALM 139:23-24

What if others knew who you really are, deep down inside? Is there anyone with whom you’re able to share your deepest fears, hurts, or doubts? The Bible teaches that every human being has a need for intimate relationships, but that we are to choose carefully to whom we reveal our heart. Vulnerability occurs in only the most intimate relationships because it requires us to reveal our fears, hurts, doubts, and the darkest things within our lives in which we never want to reveal. As humans, we resist being vulnerable with God about our sins, especially the ones we refuse to give up. But vulnerability requires full disclosure, not hiding or covering up. It is only through vulnerability that we find true healing, restoration, renewal, and forgiveness. It is only through vulnerability that you and I can experience a breakthrough in our relationship with God. When we confess our sin, seek forgiveness, and commit ourselves to following God’s ways, our relationship with God and with others will be restored; and a great weight will be lifted. While we cannot—and should not—be vulnerable with everyone, we can and should trust God as our number one priority. In life, there should also be a couple others, that are able to handle our deepest feelings with care. Vulnerability is the key to having divine moments in our most important relationships.

DIVINE PROMISE
“If we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”
1 John 1:9

TRUE BROTHERHOOD / SISTERHOOOD IN CHRIST
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16

God's Message to You
As I was alone in silence; I heard the voice of God speak. He wanted me to share this with you. This is what He has spoken:

"Corruption of the Earth as you know it is coming. There will be fire. There will be hate heartache, diseases, pestilence, and more hate.
Hate will overflow. Hate will divide. Hate will not cure. Hate will destroy. Hate will be filthy. I will see it all. I will see it all. I will see it all.

There will be nothing hidden from me. Thoughts will be seen and heard. Watch your thoughts. All will be revealed in due time. Tell my people I am coming. Tell them to prepare. Tell them it will be like the times of Noah! Tell them!!
Some will hear you. Some will laugh, some will mock you, but tell them, my daughter.

Tell them, tell them, tell them I am coming to save them. Tell them I am coming to destroy what I have created because of their disobedience and hate. Tell them Satan is prowling, and WILL devour many.

Lewdness and nakedness will be in the streets.
They will mock me, but on the day of my arrival, they will fear me.

Tell them I am coming to judge the living and the dead. Tell them I am coming to separate them from one another. Tell them I see everything and know everything . Tell them I hear the cries of my people. Yes, I hear them and I am coming to save you, my children. I am coming. Be prepared. Do not sleep. I am coming." ~God

NO MATTER WHAT

Reading: Habakkuk 1:1–3:19, Revelation 9:1-21, Psalm 137:1-9, Proverbs 30:10

I trembled inside when I heard this;
my lips quivered with fear.
My legs gave way beneath me,
and I shook in terror.
I will wait quietly for the coming day
when disaster will strike the people who invade us.
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! Habakkuk 3:16-18

THE LORD REVEALED to the prophet Habakkuk that he was about to do a purifying work among his people by raising up the Babylonians to take them into captivity. Habakkuk lived among God’s people, so this word from God meant he and his family were about to come under attack. Habakkuk was clearly afraid about what would happen when the Babylonian invaders showed up on his doorstep. But he refused to let that fear control him.
Instead of trying to pray away what was coming, Habakkuk entrusted his life and perhaps his death to God. He entrusted his family’s future to God. He chose to live by faith—not the kind of faith that believed God would miraculously show up and shield them from harm, but faith that God would preserve them through harm. Habakkuk shows us that living by faith means banking our hope on God no matter what happens in this life. He discovered the door to a joy that is not dependent upon circumstances, trusting that God was in control of both the process and the outcome.

PRAY:
Lord, sometimes the possibility of the coming catastrophe can make our family terribly afraid. We’re tempted to ask you only to protect us from difficulty, but what we really want is to be a family who lives by faith in the midst of the worst of circumstances.
We want to be a family who faces the uncertainty of the future with calm confidence in you. You are strong enough to preserve us through the worst things that happen in this world. Grant our hearts peace and remind us that you are in control of each moment in Jesus Name, Amen.
