Derek Prince | – Generosity to Those in Need 13/3


Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. Psalm 112:5-7,9 NIV

The Bible always speaks well of generosity but it has nothing good to say about stinginess. The Bible teaches that wise and judicious generosity is the way to blessing and prosperity, but that stinginess leads to poverty.

The psalmist here pictures a righteous man. He says, “He will never be shaken; he will be remembered forever.” Why? What are the causes of that man’s stability? He’s generous, he lends freely, he has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor. Therefore the psalmist says, “His righteousness endures forever.” I believe that many of us today need to recall how central to righteousness is our attitude to the poor, to those who are in need. God has nothing good to say about those who neglect the cry and the need of the poor. Let’s remember that that’s essential to establishing our righteousness.

  1. FOR THE LOST TO BELIEVE
    Despite the distances between His children,
    He’s concerned with His bride, concerned about building
    The body of Christ, the church He’s preparing,
    And for those still lost, He never stops caring.
    The Great Commission is great no more,
    His heart surely mourns, as we keep shutting the door
    And dismiss His purposes; when will we follow?
    His simple requests, our answers so hollow.
    For He’s not very pushy, no, not at all,
    In fact, quite the opposite, even trying to stall
    So that no one, not a one, should ever perish,
    For each of our lives, He genuinely does cherish.
    “Forgive them, Father”, He even prays,
    As we ignorantly deny Him and all His ways,
    And even though He knows we’ll inevitably fail,
    He still faithfully persists; His Love does prevail!
    This undeserved, this Perfect and Holy Gift,
    Requires from us only that we accept, that we lift
    Our hearts to Him, and receive His salvation,
    How easy He’s made it to accept this invitation.
    Yet sadly this world, this tumultuous life,
    Offers little to our Saviour, less disappointing strife,
    Yet given so much, we ungratefully ignore,
    Only rags can we offer as this Babylon whore.
    We’ve forced Him out of our government and schools,
    Even the highest court has made us all look like fools,
    For if not already, then the time surely nears
    That our turning away will deafen His ears.
    For He’s stood and He’s knocked at our doors for so long,
    Frustrated, I’m sure, seeing all that’s gone wrong,
    Yet a Loving free option to choose or not choose,
    This salvation He’s offered, this awesome Good News
    Is ours to pursue, or not, seem the masses,
    I pray for those souls left when this age soon passes,
    For in that number, Lord, let us be,
    Please let all I know, and all related to me
    Be in that Book of Life that You’ve kept sacred,
    Write it ink-keep us consecrated,
    For without You with us, Lord, I belabour
    The consequences coming for our nation’s behavior.

    But for our Glorious Father, the Beginning and the End,
    The Great Jehovah Jirah, Elohim, a Best Friend,
    Became a Man for us as to save us from our sin,
    Receive Him as soon as possible, so you are sure to win
    This battle that’s already, yes, it has been won,
    The victory can be yours, too; everything He’s already done,
    So, nothing’s more left that I could think of to mention
    Except for you to tell all to pay close and some serious attention
    To the Truth that His Word is still patiently revealing,
    Mind what His Word says, but put aside that “warm feeling”
    That Christ will return with another sacrificing cross,
    In fact, quite the opposite; you need to tell the lost.
    For He’s coming back as a Lion, if you’ve not heard,
    Don’t expect much more mercy as He fulfills Yahweh’s Word.
    For the time is approaching more quickly than you know,
    So accept Him today to be certain where you’ll go.
    For He hopes that not even one of His sheep is lost,
    Patiently hoping we finally see, what He did up on that cross,
    Yes, all that He did upon that Calvary Hill,
    What a loving expression! His Blood paid our bill.
    ‘Cause hell is no joke, yet Heaven’s your home,
    But from whence you came is no certain return,
    So, I would suggest, out of Love and common ground,
    To submit to His Love; become Heaven-bound.
    And in all of your ways, it’s okay to acknowledge
    In the midst of your sin, His forgiveness stays solid,
    And when you finally do put Him first place after that,
    You’ll never be disappointed, I can promise that fact.
    And when all bow down, recognizing His place,
    Not one person will question His Authority, His Grace,
    So, don’t be in that group of which He’s spoken before
    Saying, “Depart, I never knew you!” then the time is no more.
    Can you imagine how awful, how eternally lost?
    Opportunity now gone, now left paying the cost.
    Oh, how I pray that not even an enemy of mine
    Will ever be caught looking back, left behind.
    So, friends, acquaintances, even strangers I’m imploring
    Get on your knees now, for He’s all about restoring,
    And tell Him your heart, for He’s indisputably deserving,
    And let’s get to His business, begin forgiving, and start serving.
    For no one loves you more than He; He created you, He’s The Man,
    The One that loved you first, the One with your very best plan,
    And He’s still not finished yet, so keep your head held high,
    There’s still time left to make it to that “sweet by-and-by”!
    In His Eternal Love,
    Shelly

Sparking a ARK saved in the hard drive of my DNA to WAKE ME he removes my body from the family structure, and the judge learns the hard way. https://youtu.be/3TTkOfV4qfY Officially taking the title dictator by rewarding himself all the financial control over the household he defeats my whole purpose, and I wouldn't bother taking the time to raise me to life had I known my lamb was going to be used as “debt bondage” for failing to conform to the terms, and conditions of Hitler. https://youtu.be/2GLsM169izM

    Labeling anything outside his box as criminal TRUMP diverts the attention of the masses to target a certain class of people. https://youtu.be/BC4jzyq2l5s Do not be deceived he raises a fascist government taught to raid through homes inflicting brutal torture, and when he allows evil to happen he condemns it to be done. https://youtu.be/o-raIOUiFls

    Owning the rights to manufacturer, sell, and distribute controlled substances what good does it do to illegalize taking medication to alleviate pain? https://youtu.be/-WpFzTplp28 The more money he takes the more laws he can break is the theme of this paradigm. The stock holders to the pharmaceutical companies influence the politicians with campaign funds to pass laws only allowing those who attend their schools the right to commit sins against me only appearing to have the best interest of my people.

    Again I tell you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24 https://youtu.be/mZ8q3vZIqAY Enforcing the law of the beast to dishonor my law dishonors me.

    Over the course of twenty years I have experienced the pains equivalent to a crucifixion nailed down, and silenced brutally tortured. Drained dry of resources required to survive you cannot expect me to believe the one who sacrifices children to brutal torture is me. https://youtu.be/u88AiyFKJ6g

    Although discrimination is prohibited [28 U.S.C § 1862] I was denied a equal employment opportunity [47 U.S.C Code § 554(b)]. Conspiring [18 U.S.C. § 241] to prevent me from exercising my Thirteenth Amendment right to be free from be from slavery I have been penalized solely for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of being trafficked [22 U.S.C § 7101(b)(19]. https://youtu.be/XFM6BxUp2i0

    Persecuted for claiming the fruits to my own labor as far as he knows I'm just a insignificant ghost who wouldn't notice my own body missing. https://youtu.be/vWQqwlX2TIY There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a DOVE and brave as a LIONESS. The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way. – Andrew Jackson

    I am an adult fully capable of providing for myself, and when I agreed to invest my time into raising my lamb I was under the impression she would be provided a home free of fear from violence. https://youtu.be/guaG981MLoQ Retaliating against a Federal official by threatening or injuring a family member [18 U.S.C Code § 115] had I known the only purpose a child serves is to set the anchor for predators to immobilize their prey I would have never died for her instead, and went to heaven before her to give my testimony. https://youtu.be/cc6cWwjktoo

    Beginning with a thought the words we choose to use will create the world in which we live. Investing in a safe American home instead of being forced to waste my time providing predators a cover I experienced a perfect childhood full of activities to promote a healthy development. I don't want my lambs sacrificed. I live, and dedicate my life to love them. https://youtu.be/25CA3OLZhLo

    A true heavenly Father would acknowledge this very basic concept, and avoids causing upset. “What good does it do?” he will tell you. When my authority is honored I prevent a hostile takeover eliminating the threat before a tragedy occurs. https://youtu.be/B9TE8D5Vs8k I experienced a perfect childhood full of activities to promote a healthy development, and as a result I did NOT desire to use drugs, because there was no need without discomfort or pain. https://youtu.be/1pBeDoSlUnU
