Good
Morning!
Friday, I was talking about the "lack
mentality"...I want to continue to talk about this, because there
are too many Christians that have this "mind set" and it is
keeping them from receiving the "blessings" that God wants them to
have. I know for a fact that this kind of "thinking" usually comes
from a generational "curse".
They grew up in an environment
of "lack"...never having "enough", or only having
"just enough". I am here to tell you, first of all, that Jesus
has REDEEMED us from every "curse", including LACK!
(Galatians 3:13). God wants us to have "more than
enough"...not so we can "squander" it on ourselves, but so that
we can have enough to meet our own personal needs and be able to give
in to every good work (2Corinthians 9:8). So many people come
against the "message" of Prosperity. If you are one of them,
then you are coming against the "message" that God, Himself,
proclaims throughout His Word!!
God wants us to "prosper" so
that we can GIVE! He is a "giver", and He wants us to be like
Him! Luke 6:38 says..."Give and you shall receive".
You may be saying, "I don't think that we should "give in
order to get". Well, guess what...that is exactly what God
did! He gave His only "son" so that
He could get other sons and daughters that He could "bless"!
He knew the principle of "sowing and reaping"! I will
talk more about this another time.
Satan is the one that wants us to have
"lack" in our lives...He does not want us to be able to
"give" (That is because he also knows about
"sowing and reaping")! If we "give" in to God's
work, then we are a threat to the devil's "works of darkness"! He
also knows that if we "sow" then we will "reap" and then
we will have more to GIVE! Oh! Precious ones,
this is an awesome "word" from The Lord! Can I get an
AMEN?
Have
a Blessed Day!! (Say this...The Lord is my Shepherd, I
shall not "lack"!)
In His Love, Luanne
