"The Great Wealth Transfer"

The book of James declares that in the last days men will heap to themselves treasures that will consume their flesh. The bible declares that the prosperity of the fool shall destroy them(Prov 1:32) The word talks about two types of increase. Theres the world and the word. The worlds based upon the baylonian system introduced in the building of Nimrods tower in Babel. It was mans attempt to prosper and increase absent of God. Satan we well know is the God of this world and of this worlds system(2 Cor 4:4) This increse is not only temporary but comes also with great sorrow. The Words system is introduced as the blessing that was upon Abraham. according to the third chapter of the book of Galations we are the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise! The blessing upon us as believers belongs to us and WILL come upon us! God said this clearly with crystal clarity in the book of Deuteronomy The blessing will COME UPON AND OVERTAKE US(Deut 28:1,2) Now all the problem and peril in the econmy had to happen. Its actually a set up from the spy thats in the sky himself. Why? Lets refer to a verse that many of heard and may even can quote, but never really understood. The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just(Prov 13:22) How did we think that this tangible transfer was going to transpire? The word talks about in descriptive detail four wealth tranfers and the fifth is in high gear right now. In the remainder of this blog and by the grace and direction of God, were going talk about them and than what the word says how to paticipate thus positioning ourselves to be a partaker of the fifth in Jesus name! Now right off the bat, we must settle once and for all that the word is first and final. Not the ideads philosphies preaching and teaching of men. If we dont than we'll waver and God said through nthe mouth of James That we'll not be able to recieve anything of the Lord(Jms 1:6-8) Tranfer number one, Abraham. In Genesis twelve He was in a famine. His wife was fair to look upon. She was so good looking that she was given the privledge of entering the Kings chamber and Abraham increased! Transfer number two, Issac. God told him in the time of famine NOT TO GO DOWN INTO EGYPT. Egypt represents the words system and way of doing things. He commandeed him to SOUJORN and sow a seed into the very land and he recieved a hundredfold return in the very same year(Gen 26:12) He waxed so great that the philistines envied him. Will everyone rejoice and shout over our increase? Unfortunately no. Let me interject this what we condemn or judge we CAN NEVER HAVE and when were green with envy were ripe for TROUBLE. Transfer number three, Jacob. He had worked twently long years for a bigger tricker than he himself, Laban. One day He finally cut a deal with him, taking all the sheep with spots. The thimg was there were no sheep with spots lol Laban thought he had just entered into the deal of a lifetime! However Issac placed bthe sheep in front of rods with spots. Let me pause to pound the point, there is power in PERCEPTION! Does it matter what were looking at? Oh MY oh MY! In an earlier blog we talk about it. The spots appeared on the sheep supernatually and he incresed to the point that labans sons said He hath taken away all of what was our Fathers, and what was our Fathers hath he gotten ALL THIS GLORY(Gen 31:1) This is what Gods doing in this present hour. Transfer number four. The children of Israel. They recieved the wealth of egypt ine one day after four hundred and thirty two years of captivity(Ex 12:36) Imagine going from less than enough to far more than enough in one day! Glory to God! Ok Positioning ourselves. Number one, Believe. None of this can come less we believe. Its an excercise of the heart and not the head. Mental assent dont cut the cheese! Joh wesley once said "The church has been given a substitute for faith that sounds so much like faith few can tell the difference, its called mental assent" Jesus said If we believe all things are possible to him that believeith(Mark 9:23) God said through the mouth of Paul let him that does not eats judge not him that does(Rom 14:3) In other words if you want to look at this and say bogne thats your choice every man must be persuaded in their own mind. We have two choices recievce or reject and both will have results. Number two, Bountiful eye. The bible declares in the bok of Proverbs He that hath a BOUNTIFUL eye shall be blessed(Prov 22:9) Jesus said that ,light in the body is the eye(Matt 6:22, Luke 11:34) It matters what we look at! God said in the book of Proverbs let not the word depart from our eyes(Prov 4:21) We have just talked about the tranfers are you gonna look for it? Number three, Behave. We cannot recieve this into our life if we are in sin. We said earlier egypt represents the world system and way of doing thins. Its also a typology of sin. it cuts us off from the blessing and connects to the curse. Were going to unhook here and we'll continue in a future blog. Believe, Bountiful and BEHAVE!
