Prophetic Truths, Wisdom
& Encouragement
November 11th, 2005
Once again I've returned in Jesus' matchless name. This burden for the needy has not
been lifted and the Lord has a few more things He wants posted, a sort of continuation
of the truth He spoke dated November 6th below.
All things that I post here come from the Lord. He speaks them, I write them. I
am not allowed to speak anything that is not from Him. This subject, the widows,
orphans, needy, and anyone with a need, and walking in love, will all be dealt with
as a topical link from the main page. However the Lord wanted me to add the following:
There is a strange sort of rationalization (for a lack of a better way to even describe
it) that says that people in need ought to be so grateful for whatever someone is
willing to give them that quality should then not even be an issue. Truly, the Lord
expects us ALL to be grateful for every blessing He bestows, including the very breath
of air we breathe! There is no degree of gratefulness, however, one would presume
that those with tremendous need would be tremendously grateful. Gratitude isn't the
issue at hand here, only in the sense that those giving 'hand-outs' to those in
need seem to have a superior-type attitude about it. As in, "You are so desperate
whatever we give you should be considered a blessing."
I have witnessed this for many many years. I am not sent to you as one who has no
knowledge of such things. The reason the Lord allows us to experience hardships in
this walk is so that we, then, will have compassion for those who are going through the
same things. My family lived on $288.00/month for many years. We had no help from the
church. None. God ALWAYS MET EVERY NEED - we never went without. When we
had a foodstamp allotment for 3 people, the Lord had me feeding up to 14 families
BESIDES my own on a regular basis. And it wasn't that the foodstamp allotment
was so huge that we had money leftover. It wasn't. The reason we never ran out,
the reason that there was always plenty, was because God blessed us with His blessing
of multiplication (as with the fishes and the loaves). Yet church leaders
suffering from religiosity would say, "Tsk tsk tsk - if you won't work,
you won't eat." The Lord and I still smile about that one...."Remember the 14
other families, Rhonda?" There isn't an ounce of bitterness in my heart toward anyone
in the church, nor the way we were/were not treated. My God is so big, so good...He
ALWAYS took care of us, and I was always grateful to Him!
The phrase "take God out of the box" has been thrown about for the last 3-4 years now
but does anyone truly know that He's bigger than people think? That He allows the
needy among us so we can respond for Him, representing Him? Remember 'if you give
the least of these a drink of water, you are giving Me drink?' God is asking you
to be careful what scriptures you throw in people's faces in the name of holiness
and goodness. I knew a woman who was seriously disabled. She went to a mega church
that had a mega feeding program (supplying food to the hungry). She asked if they
would help her with some groceries. Do you know what they said? They asked her
when she could come in and clean the sanctuary...because they required all to work
for the food. CAN YOU IMAGINE. Oh...I hear His heart breaking....
To the needy brethren out there....HAVE FAITH!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
If you are in need and you KNOW that you are walking in obedience, in His perfect
will? God will not only provide for you, but He is also using you in a season
of being His Ministry of the Unlovely. He has spoken to me quite clearly that when
one of His faithful ones, who just happens to be "in need" (especially according
to worldly standards) walks into a church, and people turn away, or say nothing,
make no offer to help, or even say "I'll pray for you" - IT BRINGS JUDGMENT!. You become
walking symbols of God's word crying out, "Do it as unto Me". It is an opportunity
for the church to stand up and bless on His behalf and thus being a blessing unto God.
That's why He has to become our all in all, our EVERYTHING, our REWARD, our 100 fold
return, all that we long for, and all that we could ever need - because when no one
responds in the natrual, we are STILL TRULY BLESSED AND SATISFIED - in HIM! Every
single time my family didn't get what He ordained for us to have - every time He whispered
to a believer, "Bless her and her children" and they pretended not to hear, it just led
me closer to Him. Don't ever let your outer 'circumstances' make you doubt Him. Just
because His people don't respond doesn't mean He isn't there for you. They will answer
for their actions. You will still be blessed as long as you rejoice and believe in
His matchless word!
And so the Lord is tugging at the hearts of His body this morning and saying,
"Being needy is not the point. It's not about...'well, just how bad do you want something....
enough to go get it yourself?' They may have such a great need that they WILL willingly do
anything to get what they need. But isn't it more like GOD to take it to them? Isn't
it more like God to give the best you could possibly give? Instead, isn't it more about
"How badly do you want to please and bless the Lord your God by meeting someone's
needs?", and especially in a manor that is truly representative of the Kingdom and the
very best that God has to offer - in LOVE???
I love the Body SO MUCH....it is HIS LOVE that resides deep within me. And love truly
wants the BEST...Love walks in truth. Letting someone perish because they're not
informed is just as wrong as having an unteachable spirit and becoming offended,
thinking you're always right.
Believe me as I speak on His behalf - He WILL have His way. The sort of behavior that
He has outlined in both writings (today and also Nov 6th) WILL stop, especially
if the Bride expects to see Him any time soon!!!
Who has ears let him hear what the Spirit saith....
In His Unfailing Love,
His Messenger
