Confession of Faith - February 26, 2004

SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

Words of Light Upon the Face of Poverty, a Pauper Mentality, and Financial Trouble

February 26, 2005

Jesus has come that I might have life and that more abundantly. I have lived far beneath the level of life that he can afford. He has laid up wealth for me. I will not buy into the mentality that he does not want me to be wealthy. He would not have laid up the wealth of the sinner for me if he did not want me to possess it. God has already opened up the barns of the wicked so that I may plunder their wealth. I will use my liberality in giving to scoop up the wealth that he has given me by their hands. It is the hour that he is removing their wealth to my hands. My hands need to be big enough when he imparts wealth toward me. They will only be as big as they were when I was giving. The same measure that I mete will be measured back to me again; therefore, I will give with the measure that I want to receive. The plentiful quantity that God desires to give me is more than adequate. I allow my giving to supersede my expectations of receiving, for it is more blessed to give than it is to receive. I will develop a lifestyle of affluence in these last days.

The Abrahams of the hour shall arise and show forth the power of wealth, for money answers all things. I purpose to shun the pauper mentality that has plagued so many of the Lord's people. There is a true abundance in his kingdom. The evidence of his abundance will be demonstrated by his people. Instead of abundance in poverty, there shall be abundance in all things in his church. I rise up and make his abundance clear. He is rich in mercy, but he is also rich in all things. Many of God's people are troubled by finances. The amount of money in his kingdom is more than ample. It is very plentiful in quantity. He will overflow my hands with prosperity. The lavish love of God will be poured out upon those who have been faithful and trust in him to deliver them from lack. He demonstrated his extravagance by giving his only begotten son for me. He gave his son for me, and he can do all things for me.

It was extremely expensive for God to give his only son as a ransom for my sins. With such an extravagant price paid for sins, he will also give me success and wealth. Calvary was a demonstration of God's lavish parade of love for the world. Now he will not be frugal (penny-pinching) in pouring out wealth to me. Excessive blessings are being directed to my bosom. More than necessary will be my rewards in these latter times. I will go and share the good news of God's plans to bless his people before they exit unto his heavenly hands. An abundance of prosperity is being poured out upon his people. I believe.

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
