SERVING AND THE POWER TO GET WEALTH
7/14/22 SERVING AND THE POWER TO GET WEALTH
While still in bed this morning, I saw three gift wrapped packages. They were each a different size, stacked on top of one another. The largest was a foundation for the next smaller one, then the smallest package was on top. These were wrapped in brown paper bags with small 3 stranded ropes as ribbons. I saw some lovely dried flowers tucked into the ropes. I heard the Lord say, Good gifts comes in small packages. As I pondered these packages I then saw 3 aluminum ladders leaning against a worn out shed with aluminum roofing. The ladders too were 3 different sizes. I did not know the meaning of the packages until I saw the ladders. Immediately I understood.
Ladders represent climbing higher for promotion. I thought of how in the world, one climbs the corporate ladder in order to get wealth. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there where the wicked use any source available to gain their power of wealth. There is lack of integrity and character in such people, trespassing boundaries of right and wrong, without honoring God or people.
Aluminum ladders cannot hold much weight – they will buckle if someone is lifting something heavy. Aluminum roofing leaks, causes condensation and mold, it is not a reliable protection.
Three: The rope strands, ladders and good gifts represent 3 generations.
Ecclesiastes 4:12-14 And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 13 Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no longer be admonished. 14 For out of prison he comes to reign; yet he that is born in his kingdom might become poor.
In the opposite spirit of humility there are those who labor to serve with integrity, honor and justice to do what is right and to help others. I remembered how the Lord gave me rhema in the past about serving humble lunches in brown paper bags. I remembered heaven culture where the most honored and powerful leaders are not sitting on their thrones, but mingling in and out among the people, loving and serving them. I remembered that God’s way is to remain low and lift others up. His ways are to be a platform, a foundation and a helping hand for others to spring forth. He says that the first shall be last and become a servant of all.
Mark 9:34-35 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest. 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mark 10:31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
TODAY’S WORSHIP
Instead of entering into the Lord’s Presence today in my chair, and instead of walking, I chose a different path. I had found an old set of more comfortable earphones yesterday and tried them out. Instead of my walk, I spent an hour this morning praying in tongues with spots of worshipping through dancing to the Lord. I danced on our sidewalk, our porch, the kitchen and bedroom. I also worked in the kitchen and around the house, still praying in tongues. It was such a blessing and I felt such freedom and power to move without pain today in the Lord’s Presence! I remembered an old vision where I had worshipped Him through dance, and this brought me into His secret place. I finally spent myself and sat down to be still before Him. Thank You Lord!
HEARD: Lift the heavy yoke. Finances. Great wealth is coming. Poured out upon My people. Please pray.
2 Chronicles 12:1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
1 Kings 12:10-11 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shall you speak unto this people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter unto us; thus shall you say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins. 11 And now whereas my father did lay upon you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father has chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
PRAYER: Lord You have taken Your people through the wilderness in order to humble us and teach us Your voice and how to lean on You. We have learned it is not in our own power to gain wealth, for that which is helpful and able to carry weight only comes from You. Nothing else will do. We have grieved You to trust in the ways of the world to gain promotion and increase. In You alone is the power to gain wealth. Please forgive all our sins that allowed such plunder to come to Your people for we know it is Your desire to give Your good and gracious gifts to Your people. Have mercy oh Lord and deliver us!
Father I ask that when the tables are turned where the wealth of the wicked is returned to Your righteous, that their hearts and lives will have been prepared to be servants. That they will use their wealth, no matter how small of a package, to partner with Your desires to lift others, to repair, restore, and rebuild that which has fallen. May Your wealth be poured out to bring in a harvest of many souls! Let Your good gifts be used to build that which is Your desire oh Lord!
I bind the demonic forces behind the evil ones that are working to instigate inflation, recession and debt. I loose the angels to go forth and abolish their authority and power to steal from God’s people. I decree financial freedom and wealth will return to God’s people in Jesus name.
Deuteronomy 8:16-18 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

WORD TO PONDER: WEALTH OF THE WICKED RESERVED FOR THE RIGHTEOUS 12/08/05
I AM the God Who redeems, and I have a treasure stored up in the last days of wealth from the enemy’s camp. This is more than money, dear ones. This is force and strength, might, power, substance, valor, goods, and riches of all kind.
As the days grow darker, birds of a feather flock together. A great accumulation of knowledge, networking and forces are piling up quickly. When I break through the ranks, great will be the plunder of what follows. Massive plunder will be given into My kingdom to gather and raise up a harvest of souls in My Name.
