269^th Day - 15th Year!

26^th Day of The 9^th Month

06-29-2010

3^rd Day of the Week, which is called Tuesday!

You are my peace and You are my Joy!  You are the One, Who exposes the evil that You see in us!  You cause us to acknowledge our sins, and to acknowledge the truth about ourselves, so that we can be helped!  It was not given to me to have a long testimony on the First Day of the Week, and I thought it was because I had forgotten what I was saying and got distracted, but it was not that, it was that we were told to use our own computers to testify to our hearts content and say all that the Spirit is giving us to say, on our own equipment!  Amen!  So that is what I have done!  The Lord gave us all to use our own recording equipment to make our recordings on and to testify about the things that the Lord has done for us!  Amen!

It is so true that Satan can bless people with material things.  I have seen times where I was in sin and I received a lot of money and I thought it was a blessing from the Lord!  Money does not mean that God approves of me, and neither does a lack of money mean that God has rejected me!

In a dream from last night I saw that I was holding a lot of money that was made at the shop, at the end of the day!  I had just gotten the money in my hands and I started to fold all of it together!

Then, through the door, I saw a homeless man that I know, named Martin come walking up!  I knew he was going to ask for money.  I was aware of what did I think about this, and how did I feel about him always coming and asking me for money!

I was caused to remember how I saw Xmeah, the Man of God, give a homeless man some money one day, when he came to our house.  So I took a $5 bill out of the stack of money that I had and gave it to Michael, the youngest son, and told him to give it to Martin when he comes in.

My Lord, what is this?

What does that mean?  If I had all of this money, why did I only give him $5?   Was this right?  Was I being stingy?  Should I have given more? 

I do understand that when the Word said to give our best, and we have the poor with us always, He was not talking about the poor people, but he was talking about the preachers, who are the poorest among God's people, because they are not allowed to work.  They have to live off of what we give them in tithes and offerings.  But there are people who are called preachers who live the life of luxury, and they look nothing like what God said His True Preachers will look like and dress! 

I used to think that the poor meant the homeless people, and I used to give to them, when I would see them.  But Satan also has his people out there, looking like homeless people.  I am not saying that we are not supposed to have compassion and give, but the Word concerning "consider the poor," was talking about the preachers.

My Lord, You do have to be in control of my giving, because I do have compassion and a "soft spot" for the homeless people.  I have been guilty of wasting that which You have given me, and I know that if I cannot follow You faithfully in the spiritual things, that I am not able to follow You in the physical things, either!  I need this, O Lord! 

You said that a virtuous woman knows that her merchandise is good!  I do not need anyone to give me compliments and tell me what I have sold is good and that they like it!  Seeking compliments is a weak way!

A virtuous woman stretches her hands out to the needy!  Teach me how to do this, O Lord!  You did not tell us to be in any way that is impossible!  Amen!

Thank You for heading me off in going into wrong ways.  Purge me, O God of all the old knowledge I had about when I raised kids before!  I wanted to get a small desk for Deborah Esther, but I heard when Xmeah said, "No! No! No!" as we sat and talked!  He did not say it in a mean way, but in friendly, laughing way.  But I heard him!  That idea to get a desk was something that I had when I had other children.  They had little tables and little chairs.  Thank You, Lord for having me to speak things that comes to mind, so that I can get them cleared first, as to if this is a good idea, or not!  Amen!

Thank You for leading me into new things.  Thank You for not allowing my mind to get weak!

It amazed me how I had to think about how a certain word was spelled!  I wondered about the word "miracle!"  I had to ask how was it spelled.  But why did I not believe the first way I heard it?  I heard that it was spelled with a CLE at the end, but when I looked at it, it did not seem right to me, so I had to ask someone.  What was that?  Amen!
