@@lightleadership In your lesson you said some people were blessed while others were struggling financially. Thus attributing their want of all things to not being “doers” of the word. Implying that being a doer of the word brings financial blessings and not being a doer of the word brings poverty.
Hi Phillip, let me clarify my position regarding biblical prosperity, which I also call Kingdom Finances. I am not a proponent of "prosperity preaching", in the sense that we just claim it all by faith. We are stewards of God's wealth, therefore there is a principle responsibility of faithfulness. Jesus taught, he that is faithful in the least will be faithful with much. The apostle Paul stated that he had learned to be content. Very important as stewards. God will definitely test us in financial areas as we lay up treasure in Heaven. There is a difference between financial struggling as a result of our own wrong choices, or unfaithfulness with that which God has entrusted to us, and being tested in finances to check our motives. I believe that God blesses obedience with a right heart of giving and thanksgiving. In the same way that not all who are not healed is a result of a lack of faith, it certainly can be scripturally. The same Kingdom principle applies to a christian's finances, are we obedient? Are our motives pure? Have we proven our faithfulness? Do we love to give, even sacrifically? Do we continue to trust God even in severe financial challenges? These are definitley factors in our financial resources as Jesus taught in His parables regarding stewardship. Hope this helps, Phillip, I would never condemn anyone experiencing financial lack, I would help them as the Lord leads, and I would encourage them to practice tithing and giving offerings in obedience to the Lord. I know tithing is a controversial subject, my wife and I have put God to the test over 40 years and He has always provided in times of lack and oversupplied in times of plenty, pressed down, shaken together and running over! It all comes down to the heart and faithfulness. God bless.
@@lightleadershipThank you for clarifying your position. I agree with most of what you said. Here’s another related question to giving. If a man embarked upon a new enterprise and gave to God the first fruits of this new enterprise in the form of a check (invoking the test to God from Malachi) written to a preacher. The preacher doesn’t cash the check and just sits on it for weeks. (The preacher thanked the man for the check). In your opinion is God rejecting this offering like He did Cains? Or is the offering good and the preacher just being a bad steward?
Thanks for the word, i need to get back in line . I've been struggling giving into temptation , please pray for me to not only be a hearer of the word but a doer also 🙏 amen . I don't have the relationship with Jesus Christ like i had since backsliding , please pray for me ! I know he still loves me and wants all of me , we are at the end , the rapture is so near , prophecies are coming to pass faster than ever ... God bless everyone 🙏 ❤️
Hi Arturo, I appreciate you sharing your heart, be encouraged, many of us, if not all, have had seasons of backslilding and spiritual dryness. God is still with us through those times and He restores us when we have become awakened by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. That is what He is doing in your life right now. Thank God, He watches over you just as a loving Father who takes good care of His children. I can't tell you the number of times I fell away from the Lord, but the time came when I realized I couldn't keep hurting the Lord like that, and God has changed my heart and gave me a hunger for His Word and to fulfill His calling on my life. He is doing the same for you, brother, rise up and receive His grace and His Spirit!
This is great Pastor Mike! I was reading James 1:22-27 today in my study time!!! But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise you are fooling yourself… this is so good!
Thanks for your kind words, I sure appreciate it. I watched your video on "obedience", you do love Christ, and you are very passionate about the word of God. The enemy is not happy with your channel because you are speaking truth that sets people free. I believe there is a calling on your life, pursue it. God bless.
@@lightleadership thank you so much for the encouragement Pastor Mike! And thank you for watching my video. Jesus saved me from so many bad things that all I can do is live for him! He has been so good to me and my family. I want people to be set free and experience how good God is. Thank you for your kind words!
That's a great parable, Shayne. In the end, the son who originally said NO, repented and went and honoured his father, while the other son, who put on a good act, didn't follow through to his own shame.
Amen, God's life lessons with purpose and destiny, so thankful for that. So many wandering without purpose today. Their life is in Christ, abundant life, great joy, amazing peace, eternal life.
Partnership Amen! Philippians 1:6 (AMP) “I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].”
Good message Pastor Mike. Truth can hurt, and yet, it must be Preached as evidence of God's Love towards us. Legitimate children will hear the Word when spoken in the Spirit of Love and will produce good fruit. Lord Bless
Hi Mike, well said, the truth is God's love to keep us free from sin, the world and temptation. You're right, the evidence is good fruit that abides. God bless.
Hi Oliver, I'm glad it helped, I always pray and ask the Lord to bless the viewers and encourage them in their walk with Him. I'm always amazed how He does that, He knows every viewer and what they're going through. God bless.
Hi, you're welcome, you have a great UA-cam channel, exposing the darkness, how powerful! God bless you as you continue to minister the light of truth found in Christ!
Amazing Word. Thank you Lord! Praying Gods word becomes more of a reality with each passing day and praying the Holy Spirit would help to bring it to pass. God bless you Pastor Mike - I thoroughly enjoy your messages and they are often a highlight of the day for me. 🙏
I know what you’re talking about here. It’s that closeness to the Lord where He is present so much in the smallest of moments or mundane life things. He is there and He actually cares to know us in that way. And also, for myself to keep pushing in and asking Him to hold me there deeper and deeper so I’m one with Him in every way.
Yes, well said! You are going deeper in the Lord, you are desperate for Him and for His presence. That is evidence of great spiritual maturity. From faith to faith and glory to glory. God bless!
I have read the kjb cover to cover for 40 years in context. More than 500 times. Jesus is god almighty. We are corruptible and mortal. We will one day put on incorruptible and put on immortality. Jesus is simple. He paid it all forever for all that believe.
Hi Walter, that blesses me to hear that. I'm glad it helps with the long drives. One day, we'll be around the throne of God worshipping Him for eternity! God bless.
Yes, I agree Ben, thanks for sharing this, the anointing is what destroys the yoke of unbelief, bitterness, envy, confusion, strife and every other sin that entangle people today. Great word, thanks!
God gives me enough not too much, not too little when it come to money food thing i need! Just because im not rich it doesn't mean God hasn't blessed me. God has always provided! In some peoples eyes they would say im poor some would say im rich. Im blessed. Roof over my head, food to eat, i have a job, ect. I had people who loved me. Now im hated because im a true believer in Jesus! I know the bible says we would be hated but it hurts!
Hi, thanks for your comment, I agree, we are blessed and rich in the Lord, He provides our every need and the joy and contentment that goes with it! Sorry for your situation with those who have turned against you, that is a very difficult thing to endure, but God knows all about it. He will deal righteously with each person involved. We keep our hearts right and we forgive and we move on with our life. He will heal your broken heart as you continue to love and serve Him. God bless!
Like Peter who didn't think Jesus should go to the cross or Nathan who thought his thoughts on David building a temple were valid .. many follow their own beliefs and the crowd follow them in the lies they believe but I am a free man I can Just believe in Gods word as he presents it .. ❤️🔥🧖🏡🏞️❤️🔥
Hi, thanks for your comment, I really appreciated your insight into Peter and Nathan and how they totally missed it! And yet both men were called by God and placed into leadership. Quite the responsibility and accountability regarding speaking God's Word.
Are you saying everyone that isn’t rich and prosperous isn’t a doer or the word?
Hi Phillip, thanks for your question, what do you mean by “rich and prosperous”?
