Not A Thief~

Malachi 3:8-11

8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.



To the Most High God we will always give Him His due which is Praise Honor and Glory!!! 


The passage above the Lord is asking how could we Rob Him?! I completely understand and know that He was telling Israel how dare you not take care of My House which is your Temple/Tabernacle! Take care of My House and I will take care of you! He also promised them that "He will rebuke the enemy/devourer for their sakes" meaning all that we bring into His House (legally, earned right, no dirty money) He will not allow the enemy to take is from us, the enemy cannot steal it. 


I want to look at these same scriptures from a Prophetic side. Yes there is always a prophetic side to our Spiritual Lives to obtain daily.


God's Knowledge is spiritual information obtained and God's Wisdom is knowing when to apply to our daily living.


I will only speak on one Spiritual way we can Rob God! 

James 4:17  "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin"

Once we know better and don't do better, we are spiritually robbing God. When the Lord word has set us free but we still go back to the same playground and play with those same playmates, we are spiritually Robbing God. When we do not share our testimony of our deliverance, salvation and just how far God has brought us out from the destructive lifestyle we were living, we are Robbing God! The most important one to me that has been in Spirit for a long time is "When we are disobedient, not allowing Christ to live through us, not transforming into His likeness daily, not covering our love one He has placed into our care with grace - We are Robbing God! I just look at it this way - IF IT DO NOT BRING HIM ANY GLORY, IF IT DO NOT PRAISE HIM IN ANY FORM OR FASHION, IF IT IS NOT DONE IN RIGHEOUSNESS - We are Robbing God!


Glory to His most wonderful name. Thankful and Grateful that He knows we fall short of His glory daily, but Bless Him for allowing us the grace to do better every day He allows us to be His Witness to those that Do Not know Him!


Symptoms: Lack of Faith, Lack of Understanding, Lack of Spiritual Desire wanting more of Him

Prescription: Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"

Word of Encouragement~

  I come to exhort you by the mighty hand of God to go on with the Lord. Spirit speaking- "A lot of people are getting discouraged because they are looking at how big their situations or circumstances are instead of looking at what a mighty God we serve. He says that you have overestimated the enemy in your life." The enemy of your soul whole agenda is to destroy the plan of God that is concernin g your life. He knows that he can't get directly to God so he figures why not use God's people? He has no power over you; DON'T GIVE IN AND DON'T GIVE UP!! At this crucial point, there is no turning back, you've come to far to turn around now. Remember, your steps are ordered by God- follow in them. I beseech you to take up your cross and Follow Christ. I know this is an old message but the Spirit of the Lord said to "remind them again". Don't allow anyone to come in and shake you off the path God has predestined for you! For the ho...

Who's Your Friend??

-
Blessings, I want to say this in love to you all. I'm going to put this as gentle as I know how. Stop calling everyone your friend!!! Psa 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.". Pro 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the definition of a true friend: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you" (John 15:13-15). The Lord reminded me of the four friends that went all the way out of their way to help a true friend to be healed by the Lord. Mark 2:4 "And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they unc...

We know that the devil comes to exploit weaknesses and if you leave cracks and crevices open, he will squeeze his way in without notification.  His job is to steal, kill and destroy the plan of God that is predestined for your life.  He is very conniving and very deceptive in his approach and we as believers must make sure that we guarded with the whole armor of God at all times.  In this day, he is coming stronger with more force but he only possesses the power that you give him.  If you do not entertain him or his little friends, then he won't have any power to overtake you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways." The devil has already lost but he is trying to take as many with him as he can, apparently just to hurt God. And however much the devil succeeds in doing this, God hurts -- like a parent does over los...
