I hear “the buzz” on the streets coming from God’s children and it doesn’t sound God-like to me.It doesn’t sound like the God who in June of 2010 dropped $100,000.00 into this ministry during the heat of a supposed recession. What I hear coming from the mouths of God’s children is defeat, lack, and a loss of hope. So where is this coming from and more importantly, why is this occurring?
I began a ministry in 2006, asking $1.00 from every attendee who would come to my studio apartment and learn the ways of God.Then approximately a year and a half later, after being faithful to the individuals God would bring (which were not many at times), I received a donation of $10,000.00. This was used to further the ministry by birthing a teaching web site called Jesuswithoutthejunk.Anyone could learn for free what had taken me years of “walking through” to grasp.Once again, after several more years of continued obedience to God, His Word, and believing He was guiding this ship, I received a $100,000.00 donation, furthering this effort.
Now, one of two things is going on here.God is either with me and this ministry or He isn’t.The economy has been on a downward turn for some time now.So, how is it explicable that in the middle of this economic slump God chose to bless this ministry and me?
Purchase a copy of The Stained Glass Window and discover for yourself in detail the basic principles I learned and utilized that set me on my course to find my destiny in this earth. Do you know yours? Do you know all that is available to you just for being a child of God?
God’s ways are not the world’s ways. His economy is not based upon what is happening in America at this time.
The word I have been continually hearing from Heaven is ASK. The particular scripture I base this on comes from Luke 11:9.In the early stages of my journey with the Lord I had no clue what to do in terms of where to begin in the Word.The Bible itself was overwhelming to me.But, I figured that if I could go after God with the same intensity and effort that I had used to pursue men, drink, and drugs, I would be able to discover if God was real.
Not knowing where to start, I just started opening my Bible, landing upon random scriptures, believing I would somehow KNOW it was where I was supposed to be.One night, I opened the Word and it fell open to Luke 11:9.A rush of heat flooded my body all at once.Was it God?I didn’t know.I read the scripture aloud and then a voice said, “What do the first three letters of ask, seek and knock spell?”I looked and what caught my eye was that they spelled ask.I was stunned for a moment but knew deep within myself that God was telling me to ask Him, so that is what I did.I started asking God so much that one evening, I looked up to where I thought God would be and could almost imagine Him sitting in heaven, looking at the twelve disciples stating, “I certainly will be glad when Molly comes home.Think of all the time I will have for everyone else!”
With fifteen years of “asking” under my belt, I am telling you to ask God for what you need.Ask Him for what is on your heart.I don’t care if it is for a mate, about your finances, furniture, or a closer walk with Him to obtain your purpose in this earth.He is waiting but YOU have to do the asking. YOU have to do the seeking.YOU have to do the knocking.God is not going to make anyone do anything.
God was my only hope left at the time I turned to Him and my prayer for you is that you seek Him long before He is your last hope.
Divine Revelation comes to me as the Father wills through the Holy Spirit. I was led to leave this segment up at this time. The date is: November 17, 2010. Molly
Jesuswithouthejunk was birthed upon this earth in August 2007 by the Holy Spirit as a Web site outreach to the nations.
Not knowing the true nature of my calling, I fumbled through many real-life circumstances as I learned about God and His ways.He chose the style and manner of how and when I would receive these things, not me. It has taken innumerable years of obediently “walking through” trials and tribulations for God finally to deem me worthy of publicly being able to accept the mantle He has placed upon my life.I have been taught one-on-one by the Holy Spirit in order to bring the truth of the Gospel to those God has made me responsible for.I might not be a Rhodes Scholar, but I hear the voice of the Holy Ghost, which no amount of academia could have taught me.
I want to make it “crystal clear” that I did not call myself to this station.I was sovereingly called by God before I was born. The Lord, and the Lord alone, placed this heavy burden upon me.
I am not called to sugarcoat the Gospel of Christ. There are great misconceptions regarding the Gospel of Christ in this earth.Therefore, God is now openly going to bring forth what He has taught me in the form of pure, undiluted truth.Many are not being taught the concept of tithing, that it is a biblical truth and that the power of tithing is a key of obedience in one’s life.Many have no idea that tithing is paramount to having the windows of Heaven open up over their lives.In addition, countless othersare clueless and in the dark, not knowing they, if having accepted Christ as their Savior, would have the power to defeat Satan with the Word of the Gospel.How many understand the power of the Blood and its overcoming force to defeat Satan?
WE have and are continuing to teach less Christ where the Gospel is concerned. We are drenched in watered-down religion and this must stop.
God picked someone “just like you,” a working class, unknown, and raised me up to reach and teach His children in the way He wants, not the way you want or like.I am who I am.There is nothing pretentious or artificial about me and I will not be who others want me to be; I have been a people pleaser all my life.I now know that the only One I have to appease is my Lord.
It was not Christ’s intention that He die a horrible death for you on the cross so that you be taught and learn about Him through a twenty-minute sermon.These “teachings” have a form of godliness but deny the power of the Cross.I might not be a Rhodes Scholar, but Heaven endorses me and I do what I am told to do— get to you the pure, undiluted truth so that you can learn to be an overcomer. The rest will be up to you…I have faithfully done my part.
We each are a piece of the divine puzzle of God Most High, El Elyon….period.This is not, and I repeat NOT, a competition to see who can be the biggest name in Christendom by amassing the most degrees. Sometimes we forget that the original twelve disciples, who turned the world upside down for Christ, were only taught by Jesus.They had no formal degrees handed to them but look at what they accomplished…No, I am not a Rhodes Scholar, because the Lord did not call me to be one. However, I applaud the ones who are.As I always say, “the proof is in the pudding,” and I can tell you that I have a lot of pudding to show the nation…
Most people know what a Sharpie marker is.It has many uses.We can use a Sharpie to highlight something we have written (to show emphasis), or we can use it to completely delete something we no longer feel is useful.
I was thinking about what the Bible says for us as God’s children.I thought of the horrible death that Jesus had to suffer (Luke 24:26) for us so that we can get back to Heaven, as long as we accept Jesus as our Savior.I have discovered, through my personal trials and tribulations and through Christ’s atoning work on the cross, how much more we actually have available to us.What concerns me is that wedo not act like it, and on the whole, do not speak like it.
There are those who feel that today there is no such thing as divine healing.You are Christians, you go to church, but you feel that God does not heal today.Okay, let’s do a little exercise; there is nothing like participation!This exercise will require your Bible and your Sharpie.I want you to go to the New Testament and find Mark 16: 17-18.This scripture tells us:“And these signs will follow those who believe:In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; theywill lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” I want you to put a big black line through those scriptures.How do you like the interaction so far?Are you offended that I would ask you to do this?If you don’t believe in healing or deliverance by the hand of God we need to delete these scriptures,don’t you think?
Now, there are those who would say I am being too extreme in my point.But the fact remains, on the whole, we DON'T believe that Jesus has the power to heal us, set us free, provide for us and give us a better life.Listen toand look at those around you.They talk about defeat in some or all areas of their livesover and over again.This is what is going on.If we just believed, we would not be so defeated.
If pastors stood in a Sunday morning service and polled people in the congregation, how many do you think would really, really believe about healing, delivering, seeing the captive truly set free?How many believe that if they sow theirmoney where God guides them to, they will reap a harvest of some kind?Or do you even know a harvest exists?Read Genesis 8:22.Of course, again, if you don’t believe what God says, then get out your marker.
It is time for our eyes to be opened to the “Gospel of Jesus Christ.”This is something that is long overdue.I am a living testimony to most everything Jesus came here for sowe could gain the victory while we are on earth…
I lay the choices before you.If you are not experiencing victory in your life, then something is wrong.I urge you to scour this site to see the more of God, Jesus andthe Holy Spirit.Perhaps you could take your marker and mark out those things in the Bible I have said which you do not believe.Nevertheless, the fact remains, I have been set free, healed, delivered from all curses, present and past.I remain sane and healthy, for the most part, and there is no reason on earth that I should be able to make that claim. It was the power of the cross that did for me what years of doctors could not.It was supernatural.
The choice of the cross and its power is going to be up to you.Everything in the Bible either is true and from God, or NOTHING in the Bible is true. You cannot choose the parts you like and dislike and live your life accordingly or you will not obtain complete victory.
God bless you as you rise up to believe.Everything (not just some things) you need is at the cross whether you choose to believe it or not.
We need to talk openly and honestly about “The Hundredfold Return.”For the sake of this Blog, I will be targeting this conceptalone.I have discovered in the Word of God there can be man’s truth (which can become twisted), and then there is God’s truth…the REAL TRUTH.When I came to the Lord I was hungry to know what was in the Word for my life. I found I needed to be led. I truly was lost about the things of God. I have “walked through” the last fourteen years of my life having tried and tested most things in the Word.Right now, my heart is grieved, due to the fact that God’s children are being misled about this very serious matter.This confusion, if not cleared up, will cause them to suffer consequences, thinking God is not who He says He is.
SinceI have been solely raised by faith, I can tell you that at one time I believed I could sow any amount of money and get back a hundredfoldreturn. I believed this due to the teaching I received coupled with my total ignorance in the ways of God. I read the section in the Bible that talks about the hundredfold return and since I had no clue what it was talking about, I took the word of a very famous individual and believed what he said about this would come to pass.Each time I sowed any money, I claimed a hundredfold return.I trulylooked for it. I believed that if I sowed ten dollars, I would receive 100.00.
What I learned as I continued to do thiswas the revelation that sowing money in this way was not a guarantee I would receive a hundredfold return in cash.If God’s will was that I not receive money as I sowed, then I did not receive money.Maybe His will was for me to receive a thirty, sixty or hundredfold return in some other area of my life where I needed something other than money.Ican tell you from having pushed the envelope of Heaven in regard to this issue, I had been misled.There were certainly times when I sowed money and got back money but it wasn’t always a hundredfold.The thinking of this concept is immature and it is not from heaven but not knowing that at the time is actually how I learned the truth. There is more to this scripture than meets the “eye” being revealed by the spirit.
I learned the hard way that you can’t just pull any scripture out of the Word of God and claim it to be something that it is not.If your motives (and God knows your heart) are self-seeking, do not think God is going to honor that.
The scripture we need to go to is found in Matthew 13:23.The Word is crystal clear on what the hundredfold return is and how it is dispersed.The scripture is talking about an individual hearing and receiving “the Word” of God, doing what it says and then because of what he has heard and done with it, produces for the Kingdom in his or her life (and destiny), some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
The people Christ is talking about receiving these different amounts of return are those who have received “the Word” on good ground (solid teaching).When “the truth” of the Word is brought to bear in a situation by faith, it causes you to obtain what God has for you but this in no way says, “If you sow 100.00, you are going to receive 1000.00.”Do you actually think Jesus would have said that?Knowing the Word of God and exercising the truths that God has firmly established in this earth will cause you to triumph in obtaining what God has for you.But when you take to heart lies that follow human reasoning in regard to the hundredfold return, you are only allowing yourself to be deceived.When people get in radical money binds, they will believe anything they hear that gives them a momentary “fix.”I did.Do you actually think God wants this kind of capriciousexistence for His children?
I have been sent to “bring to the light what is in the dark.”Now, you can keep on believing someone else with what is inyour wallet, or you can wake up, get in the Word of God for yourself,and find out the truth like I did.Do not take anyone else’s word for what is in the Word of God or you are only harming yourself.God wants more for you in this life than for you to use Him in that way and that is what you are doing.Yes, God has put out the fires in my life more than once over the past fourteen years as I have learned to trust Him to meet all of my needs.But, you have to come to the place in your life and learn that money is only atool for you…it is not the “end” to the means.You will always have to have money and God knows this.
However, understand this-just because God raised a ministry up giving them monetary blessings to fulfill HIS will, giving them hundredfold returns, does not mean He is going to do the same for you.God is such an individual God that YOUR path and YOUR life might have similar aspects to the ones who preach the Gospel in the body of Christ, but it doesn’t mean you can clump God into some hundredfold formula and get what you want.You are misled if you believe this.
The Holy Spirit is grieved. And I can tell you one thing: this kind of prosperity preaching is over in the Kingdom. Yes, God does want you to have an abundant life but abundancy isn't always in the form of a dollar.
Definition: 1. In accordance with fact; accurate; genuine. 2 truly, accurately.
I had someone tell me once that what I was teaching, preaching and believing was “my truth”.When the statement was made to me, it took me aback as it always does when I encounter someone who really doesn’t believe in Christ as our Savior, our great physician and most importantly, our deliverer.I was sitting there imagining my mouth hanging wide open, so much so that a bird could have actually flown in it.I was astonished at the remark and I believe this remark was made by a Christian, although they never said they were one.
It is 2011.I am very well aware of it because as time goes by, I get older!So make no mistake;I am cognizant of time, whether it is chronologicalor having to do with the timeline of our history.I am fully in the present.There are many who believe that because we are in 2011, we need an updated version of the word of God.Some believe (believe?) that because we are in this time in our history that God has changed.WE think that because we are so intelligent, God somehow has become antiquated in His way of thinking.Some feel we need a “New Age” religion to go with the times we are in.With that being stated, we are in a time of great unrest not only in our country, but also within the lives of all human beings…
New Age or watered-down religion is not delivering people who need to be set free.I can tell you from experience that we not only have a healer on the throne but a deliverer and a wonderful counselor who is ready, willing and very able to come down into our lives and help us.This help is available to us no matter how big or small the need is. Whether it is to get the best buy on a pair of tennis shoes to delivering us and healing us from dreaded diseases, know that this help is there for the asking.If you choose not to believe this then you are being hoodwinked (lied to)by the devil. There is but one truth.I have never heard a testimony by anyone who went to the Dalai Lama and was immediately delivered from cigarettes and drugs.I never heard anyone say, “He has made my life better and I feel peace and am no longertormented in my soul.”I have never heard anyone rich or famous say Scientology saved a sick loved one by the touch of the anointing of Christ.I have never heard anyone say that Muhammad turned theirwhole life around and delivered them from feelings of lifelong defeat.I have never heard anyone say he helped them gain back confidence which was lost from years of being pounded down by others…NO!I have never heard any such thing.
My truth?There is a Christ whose name is Jesus who is alive and well and on the throne.There was a man who was born so He could die and defeat Satan so YOU could get the victory in this earth in every area of your life, whether it be financially, personally or any other way you need it.The others are just plastic idols that too need a Savior.Wearing a bracelet won't wardoff evil spirits. You need to have the power of Jesus the Christ.
When you keep going around the same ‘ole bend week after week and year after year, something isn’t right and YOU need to find out who really is called“THE TRUTH”. Of course, be aware that Satan masquerades as an angel of light and he will try to stop you from learning the real truth.He comes through friends, loved ones and people you would never imagine who pretend to follow God.
My Truth?I got the genuine victory…the real deal.Have you?
I have been plagued recently about a great injustice that needs to be brought to the forefront.I believe there is a lot of tyranny going on in the church today, as a whole, and it needs to be addressed. There are those individuals and churches, to be certain, who are working for the Lord Jesus Christ alone and will do His will at any cost.But many are not and those are the ones who need to be awakened.
My heart has been grieved over this particular situation for some time now. I kept pushing it back down inside and now I can’t any longer.This blog is how it is going to come forth at this time.
If you are in fact a church who says the name of Jesus Christ, then it is time for you to stand up and BE the church of Jesus Christ.Let me explain.If you have kitchen facilities, then your kitchen needs to be opened to feed the hungry….period.If you in fact have a “budget” and I know you do because oh, how we love to have meetings…and a lot of business meetings at that, then it is time to do this:Stand up in church during a service where there are many people or go through your roster name by name and make certain that NO ONE in your realm is going without any food or clothes. Budget some money for those in your own congregation who need your help. You need to make certain that their basic needs are met…that is IF you say the name of Jesus Christ.Pastors, it is time to stand up in a Sunday morning service and ask if there is anyone who needs help with anything.A lot of people need the hands of Jesus and we are walking in and out of buildings on Sunday and they are left behind wondering how they are going to make it.
Ask out loud in a service who owns a business.Then ask out loud who needs a job.Then pray that the Holy Spirit will fit them together.The healing and restoration process needs to take place in churches.If it doesn’t take place right in front of our own two eyes, where in the world do you think it is going to take place?Remember, “He Ain’t Heavy,He’s My Brother?”And Pastors, YOU are the leader of the body.Fast and pray and ask the Holy Spirit (and He will come to you with the answer) to help you do this for the lost, the hungry and the helpless.
Establish a learning place right in your fellowship hall (instead of using it for “get togethers”) for those who need to learn to read, write and be educated so they can learn and better their lives.Knowledge is power.People need help.People need to see Jesus.They need to feel Jesus in their stomachs and see Jesus on their backs with clothing.
I believe that if the churches don’t rise up and do something, it will give God a black eye (it already has) and God will come in and take over, for good or bad.The choice is up to you. The time is now not later.
I hear firsthand that churches don’t accept others who look different and this not ought to be.There is no place in church for bigotry.It is time for change.A change must come.If you utter the name of Jesus, then you better start being the hands and feet of Jesus.If you don’t know what that is, then read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.The first church came together and sold everything they had and gave so that NO ONE within their realm was without.Model that church and then you won’t have to be concerned about your budget or concerned about the falling numbers.Believe me, there is no formula for building a church. You don’t need someone to come in and show you how to build a church.That, my friend, is not from heaven.Get your heart off of the numbers and on to God’s children and God will build the church.Because unless God builds the church, I believe it will be coming down.
Will you do God’s bidding at any cost?No matter what any man says to you?No matter who withdraws their membership?No matter what wealthy person can no longer dictate to you?Will you be the hands and feet of our Lord?Will you feed the hungry, clothe the naked and help those who, for whatever reason, cannot seem to help themselves?I mean those who arewithin your own congregation?Will you?
There is nothing you can do about the past but there is something you can do about what will happen from this moment forward….the choice is going to be up to you. Let "The Church of Jesus Christ" Arise!
I want to address the section we call “Divine Revelation.”
Today many will say that they have a word from the Lord.Be wise when you are being told this.Not everything that you hear is coming from the throne room.To be certain many have in the past said and now say, “Thus saith the Lord” but what they are speaking is not all good and it’s definitely not all Word from God.How do you know if what you are hearing is actually from God?
The book of Amos talks about how God gets a word to His children. It is as if God is on the throne and He makes a conference call to all of His prophets.Then if two or more men of God are bringing forth out of their bellies the same thing, then listen.God is trying to tell His children something, and even if it is something we don’t want to hear, it is ALWAYS for our benefit.
We have a good amount of erroneous information being given to the body at the moment because men are lovers of themselves, not God.God is just but He can be a hard taskmaster if He needs to be.I have firsthand experience and knowledge of this.He is not joking with His children. We ARE NOT learning the one and only true, living God and His ways and we are the ones who are suffering because of it.
When I post anything on this page, be assured it came from God.Anyone who carries the true, rightly divided word of God (having the oracles of God), will always tell you the truth and even though you don’t like it, you will know deep down inside it is so.
For the most part, we are playing games with heaven and it is time to stop.Stand up and say, “I don’t understand what I am hearing and being taught. Tell your pastor you don’t get it.Aren’t you paying him to help you?Tell him and if he can’t or won’t preach the whole Gospel found in Matthew Mark, Luke or John, then find somewhere else to go. God's children are following programs, trying to work their way to heaven not knowing about true faith and belief. And the greatest gift of all...God's grace. WE have a deliverer on the throne (right now) and we have divine rights as His children. If you don't know that, then why are you doing what you are doing?
There will not be a new Divine Revelation yet due to the fact that the message below is the message for this particular time. This will not be changed until the Holy Spirit gives me a new word.

We need reformation not only in the body of Christ but also in the earth.I am angry when I see the condition of the lives of people I am around and of those I see in the news.
I am appalled at the so-called Pastors and alleged teachers of the day who preach and teach Christ and proclaim to the masses, “You can buy a miracle.”I am sickened when I watch these “feel good” evangelistic preachers, who have great big grins slapped on their faces, telling people that all they have to do to get out of the jam they are in is to give money.I liken those who preach this principle to a piranha who is smiling all the way to the bank...I know because I have fallen prey to their tactics, willing to do anything to get out of my own jams. The formula they sell for alleviating one’s troubles is almost the same thing that went on in Martin Luther’s day (The Great Reformer of the 1500’s).
The bible in and of itself is not going to be enough for you to overcome whatever your issues are.It takes the presence of the Holy Spirit with God, who backs it all up, and then doing what it says.If you think that all you have to do is read and your life will be better, then you are sadly mistaken and are not knowledgeable of the whole truth.
If you think that all you have to do is give money (even at the word of the so-called prophet), then you are wrong.You cannot buy a better life, no matter how many times you are told this.Not only that, you can go to church day in and day out and still stay in the same state of existence with defeat and negativity ruling your life.In God’s world faith and works go together coupled with your obedience of tithing and offering.
We need the truth….and we need someone to stand up and call “a spade a spade.”The day of playing games is over.For the most part, God's children are suffering.People all over this earth are in spiritual and financial lack because it takes more than a financial investment to obtain what you need from God.Don’t be deceived.
I am here to stand up and go against anyone who is in the public arena who preaches and teaches this way.God requires of you your heart, mind, and soul.He is a jealous God who requires your devotion.This requires your participation, not just the contents of your wallet.
It is time for a reformation in the body of Christ so the body can mature into the things of God and in turn, help a sick and dying nation.God have mercy on us for trying to “sell” a miracle.
God’s children are suffering at the hands of the big bad wolf and they can’t see it because it is what they have been conditioned to “do” for years.Because of the fire I have walked through, I am qualified to tell you this truth:the way the world is being taught about how to access the blessings of Christ is out of joint.Someone has to have the guts to go against the norm for the sake of the elect.Who are the elect you ask?YOU are…everyday normal people who need a living Savior.Think about it.Jesus went in the temple with a whip and cursed all the moneychangers…saying, “My Father’s house will be called a house of prayer.”
Picture Jesus standing on the hillside getting ready to preach the Beatitudes.Can you see Him in your mind’s eye?You have heard rumors that He is the chosen one of God…the Messiah.You have been waiting for someone such as He and you are sitting there to hear something from another world on how to live your life.You are excited at the prospect of something that will finally help you.You are sitting there with baited breath waiting for the truth to spill forth.He stands up and says, “If you will give me your money, I will give you a miracle.”I will bless you with a blessing if you just “sow a seed.”Money is what comes to your mind.I am in desperate lack and have no hope and you want my money?I don’t have any money.You have no clue about money, tithes, and offerings.No one has taught you the things of the kingdom and when you hear Him say it, something inside you wrenches and you are immediately turned off, thinking He is just like everybody else and you get up to leave…or turn the channel.All you wanted was hope.
We are in desperation in this country and I blame those who use the public spotlight to present the Lord as someone who trades miracles for money.Woe be unto you.The imagination of man’s heart in many cases has taken over.If you cannot go to the Word of God and prove what a person says then something is wrong.
It is time (way past time) for a changing of the guard…. To the law and to the testimony!
If you believe in God and you are trying to walk with God but you find yourself in the same state you were in a year ago (maybe your circumstances are now even worse), something is wrong.Turn off the TV, draw back from where you are going to church, sit before the Father, and tell Him what you are up against.He will help guide you into all truth with pure motives.He has nothing to gain from you.The job of the Holy Spirit is to guide you into all truth.
When I first turned my heart to Jesus, I knew nothing of kingdom life, so I literally learned from scratch.My life was a mess and I was taught by the Holy Spirit to use my money in ways I hadn’t known before.I had been in banking and investments all of my life but knew nothing of what Malachi 3:8-12 talks about.I hadn’t been raised on tithing.The only thing I had ever heard of was pledges but I didn’t understand that concept either.I realized that if I was going to go after God that I would have to believe Him with regard to my finances, as well as doing all other things His way.At the time, I was a single parent living in a four-bedroom house for free (I had believed Him for a house), needing every cent that came into my hands. I knew God was telling me that if I would give Him my tithes, He would open the windows of heaven over my life and I wanted that so badly.My first thought was “How do you give to God?”He is in heaven.How was I going to get it to Him?Did He need my money where He was?I wanted answers to my questions so I asked Him.Over the next few weeks He revealed to me just how to do it.I didn’t attend a church so I gave my tithes where I was being fed spiritually, and God honored my effort.I began from scratch to give money to God and things started to change for me.
I want you to know that, yes; I have given to ministries that preach the Gospel on TV but only as I am led by the Holy Spirit.Yes, I have been duped concerning giving as well, but I never gave up trying to get it right.I learned valuable lessons by learning when I had been taken.How else can I tell you that everyone is not preaching and teaching the true, undiluted word of God regarding money?
When it comes to money you have to go God to get His will on where to tithe, when to offer and what to offer.The bottom line is this: learn to tithe.Take 10% of your gross paycheck and give it where the Holy Spirit tells you.Not every place is good soil to sow your money into and there have been several times when the Holy Spirit told me to stop sowing my money there…even if it was a local body.There are many who are using money to build bigger buildings while neglecting the truly needy who sit in their church pews week after week.
God is the ONE who sees a man’s heart and his true motives.If you are feeling led to sow into any life, whether it is based “on a word given” or not, pray to God about it and then wait for Him to answer you….He always has gotten the truth to me so I can in turn tell you that He will get the truth to you.
WE need reformation in the body of Christ.WE have given Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit a bad name where money is concerned and we need to fall on our knees, repent and ask God for mercy.
We owe God our devotion in our heart, mind, and soul.With that comes obedience in honoring God with our tithes and offerings.Test what I am telling you for yourself.I don’t who you are but I can tell you that I was one hardheaded woman and if I can believe God about opening the windows of heaven over my life, then anyone can.It is real.Go to the scriptures for yourself.
I am the voice crying out to you to help you….for I am one just like you.
I want to address Haiti.I have had something mulling around in my spirit for the last few days and need to get it out.
I was speaking about the devastation in Haiti to a family member the other day and they said, “I don’t think God would allow something like this to happen.”Well, He has indeed allowed it to happen and God (who knows every sparrow who falls to the ground) is fully aware of what is going on there.For reasons known only to the Father, this has been allowed to take place.
As I walk around and listen, I hear that most have no clue who their Father in heaven is on the whole.Our Father commanded the very first king ever, Saul, (who was brought into power because the people wanted someone they could physically see to rule over them- 1 Samuel 15) to go and literally wipe out every Amalekite (man, woman, infant, nursing child, ox, sheep, camel and donkey) due to them coming against Israel, His chosen nation.This took place thousands of years ago and due to the fact it happened in the Old Testament, many would think this story is irrelevant.You have to understand that Christ’s atoning work on the Cross did not negate the nature of our Father in Heaven.But what it did allow was GRACE to save us (thank God). Many times I have said that I needed to fall prostrate on the floor in thanks to Jesus for dying for me because I know my sins deserved nothing less than death.And I know that His very BLOOD has kept me here today.
Since God commanded utter destruction to take place, what would make anyone think He would not allow this earthquake and subsequent aftershocks to happen?Yes, God would and did allow this to occur for reasons known wholly to Him.God is a wonderful God and Father but He is a just God and will discipline when necessary.WE must remember that God sees what we cannot and that He alone is the judge…there is no other.We have to be able to accept His judgment so that hearts will turn to Him.God’s plan is the only plan that truly matters and His will is going to be done whether we agree with what He has done or not.
Is God being unfair?No.God is NEVER unjust.We, as a people, are reaping what has been sown whether we realize it or not.Whether by Satan’s hand or God allowing this to take place, we have to accept the fact that God created us all and He alone says who, what, when, where and how.Just because this has been allowed to take place, does that mean that we do nothing?No.Moved by the Holy Spirit, we help, give, and rebuild.
Susan Gahan is one of five individuals who began Jesuswithoutthejunk. Her son-in- law, Adam Foushee, is a Captain Pilot with marine squadron 461 and has been sent to Haiti with the ship the USS Bataan.He will be there for a month helping and his comment was, “There are dead bodies everywhere.”
Susan said that yesterday (26th) he flew 36,000 tons of food and water to different drop zones…can you imagine?I would ask for your prayers for him as he endeavors each day (and they are long ones) to help deliver basic necessities of what I know I have even at times taken for granted.Adam has left his wife and young child who weighed 1lb 14 oz at birth who now is a healthy young child to serve others, tirelessly giving his time, special gifts, and abilities to help his brothers and sisters abroad.
I ask for your prayers also for this ministry and the road we have to travel up ahead, which I know will not only be long but deadly serious.God has called us to tell the truth no matter what others think because God’s children are perishing for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).I would ask you to seek God’s face and pray how the Holy Spirit leads you.
You know, I grew up looking most days at a little statue that was in my brother’s bedroom that said:He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.Let us not curse the people who have been rocked by devastation.Instead, let us pray, give and help them, remembering we are not the judge.
Jesuswithoutthejunk has sown a total of $800.00 for the cause in Haiti.$500.00 went to a ministry who feeds orphans around the world, including Haiti.The other $300.00 was sown into Samaritan’s Purse with the funds going directly into the Haiti effort.We will gladly accept donations for the need of Haiti and place it into hands that use the funds directly for the Haiti relief effort.Every cent you give will go solely for this purpose.You have my word.You may earmark your money and I will personally take care of getting it to hands of those who will use it for the people.In every mission outreach I have undertaken that has always been a pet peeve of mine.If money is given for a specific purpose then it needs to be used exactly for that and nothing else.
God bless us everyone because we need it.
God, our Lord, please have mercy on our souls. Pray for the souls of the people everywhere because whether we know it or not we all need Jesus Christ.
