Reconciliation To Strengthen a Weak Kingdom Process

Reconciliation To Strengthen a Weak Kingdom Process

RECONCILIATION BRINGS STRUCTURE IN KINGDOM PROCESS

Any reconciliation without a Kingdom process only produces a bloodthirsty anger that is fueled by hatred and revenge…and in that anger is where sin is birthed for it is not the vengeance of the Lord, but flesh vengeance.

Godly anger in Christians require us to respond by God’s rules. Vengeance belongs to Him and He brings it His way.

When people retaliate with an anger that requires them to take bloodthirsty revenge against the perpetrator then they have been reduced to the same ground that the enemy lives from…and he now has them held prisoner with the hopeless indictment that nothing will ever change and they will always live, running from rather than leading to.

Born again believers who believe that their prayers have not done enough are right if their prayers have not been infused with true faith. If there is no power in our prayer it is possible that we did not pray a prayer of faith…for faith in God always brings a clear picture and a clear strategy, either to enjoy or to remove. God is redemptive and will always move in that direction…

If people are pondering an anger in their heart that makes them want to go after the enemy of the problem and all they can see are people, they have not yet seen what God wants them to see.

The enemy operates in cycles. It works, so he constantly shifts people through one cycle after another. Just about the time one cycle wears people out, he shifts to another one. He keeps people running in circles without ever concluding the problem. Hopelessness says that they have fought and fought to no avail. His cycle is attacking health, finances, and relationships of all kind. When he gets them tangled in one, he picks them off in the other two.

We are not supposed to be ignorant of satan’s devices. This is what he does because this is how he is wired…satan goes after anything that looks like the Kingdom of God.

Satan worked at confusing everyone with the virus. Afraid to die and too poor to live. The virus attacked our health, our finances, and relationships. Division has been rampant between those who are sick and those who are not; to mask or not to mask; to quarantine or not to quarantine; the truth or a lie; a conspiracy or not. The government has been passing out money that the government does not have to give people; money that has been taken away from them through this cycle. Now, we are in the same cycle again, but different circumstances. The focus has moved from the virus of a physical disease to a virus of social injustice. A murder taking place. Not just any murder, but one that will focus a people on the pains of history, constantly touching that part that says they will be hated until the day they die. Their children have nothing to live for except fear. The response: hatred that destroys the heart. A response that says hope is lost so since the hope is destroyed, let us destroy everything else. Let us dethrone the government, for the fault rests there. Let us detach from relationships with anyone who does not agree, for they do not understand, even if they are of the same race. Those of the opposite culture are now shamed, for they have not been able to come up with the strategies and answers necessary for everyone to live in peace. The destruction that comes from the burning of cities, businesses that were already struggling because of the previous cycle have now been burnt to the ground along with the sacrifices of those who built them. The irony…the people hurt the most are the people hurting others as the lives and livelihood of those who have been socially injured.

The enemy stands off to the side looking at the anger and fear he has fueled by using others to tear up our cities and to tear up our dreams, taking hope and wearing people out as he revs up for the next cycle of events. By the time you catch your breath, hope will be snatched from us again as we move toward the time to place in office those who will fulfill our dreams and remove those we believe are the cause.

We have been tricked into a warfare that is based on true events, but not based on truth. Born again believers must not allow ourselves to be manipulated by our emotions or even our history. When we attempt to fight the enemy on his territory it is a given that we have not only lost the battle, we fuel the war. What is the answer?

Stop fighting back with satan’s tools of hopelessness, bitterness and going backwards for history will always point people to what it was with no hope of what will be. Come together as believers and instead of praying, crying out for relief from the pain, ask God for a strategy. Take up the authority we have in the earth by the spirit and decree into these situations what Father has decreed…on earth AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

Do as David did, when moving the ark. People died because he did the good thing in a wrong way. He went back to the book to find out how to move it properly so that even those who would help to move it would not lose their lives.

People do not want action. They have moved to an anger that brings sin…they now want the blood of those who made their life miserable.

Kingdom process removes the traditional church service of entertainment and inspiration to a meeting of hearts and minds around the map of the Kingdom way, which first of all says, we seek the King and HIS righteousness…or the right way to do something. Once you turn from the fires of hatred to the Kingdom way, the fires started by the enemy are diffused. A quietness of spirit comes so that thinking correctly is restored and now kingdom decisions can be made so that Father can orchestrate justice.

We quote the scripture that we do not fight against flesh and blood…yet that is what we do when we do not do it the Kingdom way. The Kingdom way recognizes that the enemy is using flesh and blood to carry out his bidding, so while we may not like the ways of those being used, we attack the spirit by the declaration of life into the lives of those who are used for evil.

Father has a way of removing or bypassing those the enemy uses…but He tells you your part. Circumstances do not always tell you the Kingdom truth. Only the King can tell you the truth. When we look at the results as truth, we miss the truth and continue to be the victims of the circumstances and pawns in the hands of the enemy who wants the government of the Kingdom shut down. The Kingdom system provides for the diffusion of the world system.

Tithing

Tithing

LAW OR LIFE?

To tithe or not Is a moot point with me. Debating on how or when to give is a moot point with me. Whether it is the law or life is not debatable…it is a truth that is loaded with life.

I learned about tithing, first, from my father, who wrote out a check every Saturday evening, placing it in an envelope and leaving it on the counter in the kitchen to be picked up as the ten of us trailed out of the door to church.

I first learned about tithing as a biblical doctrine when I started going to a protestant church. I first heard about giving, though, from a young missionary who was trained by an old missionary to Live to Give…not Give to Live.

I have since learned much from the heart of Father and giving the way He gives.

Our benchmark is always His Son, Jesus, who leads us to Father’s House by showing us the way, the truth, and the life. We have mistaken this biblical truth for the way to heaven, but we have sorely missed the point of where Jesus, as a son, was taking His brethren.

The connection with the prosperity of Jesus seems to be found in His obedience. Father directed or asked…and once Jesus agreed, the fruitfulness of Father in that area was demonstrated. The only time that Jesus showed up to give and did not receive was when what He gave was rejected by those to whom He came to give. He could do no mighty works there because of their unbelief.

He agreed to come into the earth as a man…He prospered with godly, covenant parents and a trail full of enough substance to take care of every need He and His parents may had and probably every thing they may have desired. We know He was not poor because His very clothes were a picture of His quality of life in the earth.

His parents told Him to come home at the age of twelve when He had a greater understanding of the knowledge of His assignment in the earth. The result was the prosperity of a solid healthy life filled with much wisdom.

His mother asked for a miracle when the wine ran out at the wedding. Jesus obeyed and water turned into wine.

Every place where Jesus said yes, fruit came forth. He not only had wise men give at His birth, but wise women continued to give of their substance as He traveled. These were not women who struggled financially, for the supply was enough to require a treasurer.

When Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, he was not interested in the return of his giving as he was in the honor of his giving. The spirit in which he gave to the High Priest reached into the generation of Levi..and beyond.

I have discovered in my life that it is fruitful to honor what and who Father honors.

Somewhere, in the understanding of this principle, the thought of planting a seed only to receive the fruit fled from my thinking. It is scriptural to give with that thought in mind. I never require or demand others to interpret the ways of Father in the same light that I do. I do feel an obligation to live out of the revelations that He gives to me that produce truth. I never tested this principle to see if it worked. I just sort of saw it produce when my thoughts were far away from giving in order to receive.

I did not teach on tithing as a pastor more than maybe once or twice…and that was only in passing. Yet, I had a 98.9% tithing church. People would send their tithes and offerings through the mail when on vacation or if they had to be away from church for their jobs. There was never a sermon of guilt or condemnation if you were not giving enough. Opportunity was presented for the people to give. Those who did, gave…and those who did not, did not. As a result, our church ran on a cash basis without incurring debt.

There were times paying the rent on the building was a challenge, but never an impossibility. I promise you that I am not a financial genius. There are times I have had to rob Peter to pay Paul. I have dug into the couches for pennies to complete a fifty-cent roll. Over the years, though, Father has shown honor for honor in a stage of development that I did not realize until I was much older and was longer in the ministry.

The bottom line has been the motive behind the “yes.” When I agreed to obey Father in giving, it always came back to me, but usually in trickles and through a long time of waiting, hoping and praying. There were times I did without while waiting. I always trusted Him…and it always came…just never in the flood I thought should happen, based upon what others were teaching.

One day I went to the mailbox and found a check someone sent me for $15.00. I had not solicited the money. I was not prepared for the money because, even though I was a minister, I had been a lousy person that day and did not think I deserved anything more from Father. I sat in my car and wept when I saw that His giving to me had to do more with Him, than me.
