THE ISSUE OF FINANCES. WE’RE LIVING IN AN ECONOMIC BUBBLE. MY PRAYER IS THAT THE ECONOMIC BUBBLE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE OVER, WILL LAST LONGER SO THAT THE CHURCH WILL NOT BECOME COMPLACENT AGAIN. THAT WILL GIVE THE CHURCH TIME TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER, GIVE US TIME TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER. I BELIEVE WE NEED TO REESTABLISH OUR BELIEF SYSTEM IN WHO JESUS CHRIST IS IN OUR LIVES.
WE NEED TO REESTABLISH THE BLOOD OF JESUS IN OUR LIVES, WHAT THAT BLOOD MEANS TO US. WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHY WE’RE CHRISTIANS.WE NEED TO EXPLAIN THE LOVE OF GOD TO OTHER PEOPLE.WE HAVE CHURCH LEADERSHIP IS GOING TO COME UNDER INCREASING SCRUTINY. THAT’S TO PUT IT MILDLY. WHAT GOD
IS GOING TO DO, HE’S GOING TO RAISE UP PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDISCOVERED AND PEOPLE THAT ARE HUMBLE OF HEART. PEOPLE CAN KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE HUMBLE OF HEART. YOU HAVE TO BE UNDISCOVERED OR NAMELESS, FACELESS PEOPLE. HE’S GOING TO START RAISING THEM UP. IT’S GENUINE HUMILITY THAT ONLY GOD CAN GRANT FROM A MAN OR WOMAN. IT COMES BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE HIS
GREATNESS IN OUR WEAKNESS. UNTIL WE RECOGNIZE THE GREATNESS OF GOD, IT’S DIFFICULT TO HAVE A HUMILITY DEEP INSIDE OF US, BECAUSE WE THINK WE HAVE THE ANSWER, THE SOLUTION. HE’S LOOKING FOR HUMBLE PEOPLE, TEACHABLE PEOPLE THAT HE CAN USE WITHOUT THEM BECOMING EGOCENTRIC IN THEIR BEHAVIOR, WITHOUT THEM BECOMING PRIDEFUL IN THEIR BEHAVIOR. I WROTE IN A BLOG THE OTHER DAY, PROXIMITY TO GOD DOES NOT STOP PRIDE FROM COMING. SATAN FELL BECAUSE OF PRIDE AND THERE WAS NOBODY CLOSER TO THE LORD THAN SATAN HIMSELF. SOME PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE I GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, BECAUSE I READ THE BIBLE, BECAUSE I PRAY THAT THIS CAN’T HIT ME. IT CAN HIT ANYBODY THAT DOESN’T REALIZE GOD IS THEIR SUFFICIENCY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. NOT THEY THEMSELVES.IT’S NOT THE ANSWER OF MAN, IT’S THE ANSWER FROM GOD. WE NEED WISDOM LIKE JAMES SAYS. WE NEED WISDOM FROM ABOVE, NOT WISDOM FROM MANKIND. LEADERS TODAY, I DON’T KNOW, I’M TRYING TO –WE’VE BEEN SO EGOCENTRIC IN OUR BEHAVIOR AND WE’VE BROUGHT ALL ATTENTION TO OURSELVES AND TO WHAT WE HAVE BUILT.TO THE CHURCHES THAT ARE EGOCENTRIC IN THEIR FOCUS, THOSE CHURCHES ARE GOING TO FALL AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE BANKRUPT. THE BANKS ARE GOING TO FORECLOSE ON THEM. GOD IS GOING TO SAY, THOSE THAT FOLLOW ME I WILL BLESS AND THEY WILL STAND AND DO GREAT EXPLOITS.THOSE WHO DON’T FOLLOW ME, THEY’RE GOING TO TOPPLE. THE PURE WILL BE GREAT AND THE IMPURE, THOSE WHO HAVE GOTTEN THEIR EYES OFF OF GOD, ARE GOING TO CRUMBLE AND FALL.
