Food For Thought

EVERYTHING we need
                                  for life and godliness through
                                          our knowledge of Him (Jesus)

EPHESIANS 1:3 PRAISE be our God and Father
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has Blessed US (that's you again)
with EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS
(given by the Holy Spirit)
in heavenly places in Christ."

WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THESE THINGS??
They are in the Invisible realm!!
They are veiled or hidden until
you move by faith not sight!!
The provision of God is ABUNDANCE!!
All that you need is ALREADY PROVIDED!!
RECEIVE...

WHAT MAY KEEP YOU FROM SEEING THIS ABUNDANCE??
#1.YOUR PERCEPTION...how you look at things
PERCEPTION through the:
WORLD SYSTEM and
(Who is the ruler of world system??)
satan or the devil and his agents
and
#2. PAST TRADITION
(What you have been taught from:
Family, school, friends and
in church( Yes, in church!!)
Is your church entertaining you or
teaching you??
Is your church teaching you how to fish
or fishing for you???
(Fishing meaning living THE Successful Life)
'HEAVEN ON EARTH'

ROMANS 12:2..
" Do NOT be conformed to this world, but
be CHANGED by the RENEWING of your MIND
(a NEW attitude)..

Note: This means how you see things!!
Perception or Your Image(pictures)

PERCEPTION/TRADITION MYTH #1.
God wants you to just survive
and just make ends meet!!
NO, God wants you to have adundance!!
3 JOHN 2
"Dear friend (oops,that's you again),
I (God) above ALL things WISH You
may prosper and have good Health."
as your soul propsers.."

What was the first thing God said to man??
GENESIS 1:22."BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY"

PERCEPTION/TRADITION MYTH #2
Poverty and sacrifice is the way to be holy!!!
NO, money is just neutral, not good or bad!!
but what you do with money is good or bad!
1 Timothy 6:10..
"The love of money is the root of
all kinds of evil which while
some people COVETED after money they
have wandered (erred) from the
Faith ( faith in God) and pierced
themselves with many griefs or sorrows."

Note: This DOES Not say that having Money
is evil, but DON'T love money more
or crave it MORE than God."
God is YOUR Source NOT the money!

Matthew 6:33 "SEEK 1st the kingdom and
HIS righteousness and
All things will added to YOU"..

(NOT trying to get things and then seek God)
but
( 1ST Seeking God and things will be added)
BECOMING and BEING like Jesus!!
A RELATIONSHIP.....THE BLESSING.
THIS BLESSING WILL ADD THINGS YOU NEED
Supernaturally...

WHAT HAS GOD GIVEN YOU THROUGH JESUS?

PROVERBS 8: 12.."Wisdom (word from God)
to find out knowledge of WITTY INVENTIONS."

But God also knows each our hearts:
PERSONAL BIBLICAL ECONOMICS QUESTION #1.
Would YOU becoming wealthy
bring glory to YOU
or GLORY to God???
Stop and think!!!

PERSONAL BIBLICAL ECONOMICS COMMENT #1..
SEED, TIME, HARVEST..
What is your SEED?
WE ALL HAVE A SEED: it's not the amount!
ARE YOU PLANTING SEED???
Note: Just as a farmer plants seed
for a harvest from that seed.
You must plant seed to get
spiritual harvest!!!
WHAT SEEDS ARE YOU PLANTING???

1ST,TITHING(10%)
Let's stop for a second..
Are YOU tithing?
Are you planting the 'Minimum' seed??
10% of your income!!!
If your Not : YOUR.....
Malachi 3:8.."robbing God of tithes(10%)
If you NOT, begin tithing!!!

Are you allowing your ground (heart)
to receive the Word of God??

Read Mark 4:1- 20 The Sower..
Their is ONE seed: the Word of God!
Their are 4 types of ground??
WAYSIDE ground (CLOSED SPIRIT)
(the unbeliever WHO rejects the Word)
STONEY ground (CLOUDY SPIRIT)
(New Baby in Christ, immature)
THORNY ground (CLUTTERED SPIRIT)
(Carnal or worldly Christian)
Can't tell if Christian or not:
No fruit..
GOOD GROUND..(COMMITTED SPIRIT)
(Believing heart and bearing Some fruit)
Hearing and applying God's Word!!
MAKING IT PERSONAL: YOU..
THE JESUS IN YOU!!!

WHICH GROUND IS YOUR HEART????
Wayside or Stony or Thorny
or GOOD???

READ GENESIS 9:22=(Seed,Time,Harvest)
With Time the ground will produce FRUIT!!!
or HARVEST??
EXPECT A HARVEST!!!
IN ORDER TO CHANGE YOUR HARVEST,
(what you receive)
YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR SEED
and maintain FAITH AND BELIEF
while the Harvest is coming...

Who is trying to get you to STOP Believing??
Your enemy the devil ...

DEUT 8: 18.
" And if you Remember the LORD your God,
for it is HE WHO gives you the POWER to get wealth,
that HE may ESTABLISH HIS Covenant.."

3 JOHN 2
"Dear friend (oops,that's you again),
I (God) above ALL things WISH You
may prosper and have good Health."

BUT YOU MUST KNOW YOUR RIGHTS;
AND
YOU MUST EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS
ON THE STRENGTH OF JESUS NOT YOURS!!
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT !!!

YOU CAN'T CHANGE WHERE YOUR are TODAY..
BUT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR TOMORROW !!
STARTING TODAY, NOW..
RECEIVE,
BELIEVE AND
HAVE FAITH...NOW..

BIBLICAL ECONOMICS 2A SUMMARY:
FIRST, ACCEPT JUST ONE STATEMENT:
'RICH' GOD, NOT poor God..
First Step in Bible Economics!
It's a NEW system !!
RECEIVE GOD'S SYSTEM:
RENEW YOUR MIND AND FORGET TRADITION!!
MARK 7: 8, 13.."You have let go of the
commands of God and are HOLDING on
to the TRADITIONS of men..
Thus you NULLIFY the Word of God by
your TRADITION
that you have been handed down.."

SECOND, ACCEPT A SECOND STATEMENT:
GOD IS A GOD OF INCREASE NOT decrease!!
God is trying to GIVE to YOU NOT take away!

THIRD, GOD system works on the principle of:
SEED TIME HARVEST...
The world system says: see and believe!!
God's system says:
BELIEVE (by FAITH) AND THEN SEE!!
GENESIS 9:22...
"As long as there is day and night
seed time and harvest will exist"
