“GOD IS MY SOURCE!”
ENCOURAGEMENT: "Lack" is not having a NEED, but no SOURCE of supply to meet it!
Some of you feel at a gross disadvantage, because God is using different people to sustain you - but you're getting all kinds of nasty attitudes and inappropriate statements "with" every gift they give...
"Do not eat the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies; For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you. The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, And waste your pleasant words." (Proverbs 23:6-8 NKJV)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Pastor: Is this saying, don't accept their gifts or hospitality?
NO - this is saying don't BOW in your heart, as if YOUR ONLY SOURCE (Jesus Christ) is subject to their darkened hearts and wrong spirit about giving!
They are NOT doing God a favor!
The EARTH is the Lord's...
The silver and the gold is HIS...
YOU are the instrument God will use to TEST and reveal their hearts, for THEM to see!
YOU will be demonized for just being present, as the FIRE reveals everything of what sort it is...
BUT, God is not holding you hostage to abuse or mistreatment; follow the Holy Spirit in every step!
"These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. "Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, "nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food. "Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. "And when you go into a household, greet it. "If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. "And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. "Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Go-morrah in the day of judgment than for that city!" (Matthew 10:5-15 NKJV)
