Money Freedom

 What is money? The key to life. It is the love of money which is the root to all evil. Yet I love God. So if I love God then money should not play a role. Yet if I love God and he teaches me to love then who am I talking with if God teaches me how to use money?

 The fact is God is interested in money. He talks to people and they give him ideas and they give him more ideas until finally God says “All right. Lets see what we can do with money.”

 God doesn’t rely on the fish to feed the sheep. He relies on Himself to feed them. Yet it is the idea of sheep to go to the fish and ask them for money. The problem with this is the fish usually only has a single coin in their mouth. And this is one reason that they are poor.

 Now if you are a Christian and you are going to the fish every week and taking up a collection then you should think. If you milk the fish every week eventually they will run dry. Now some might say that isn’t Biblical but then again most don’t know that in scripture ten percent was after the harvest and not before. The fact is we live in a world where we are all in debt. We pay tithes but we don’t pay with Wisdom. We pay because of burden. We get a buck and we feel obligated to give ten percent. But what if we were meant to pay our bills first and then give based on harvest? What if the Bible was written with the harvest in mind?

 Then we who are in debt would never give because we are always in debt. In such a case that would be the law of demand. We give and we get and we get because we give. Yet if the Harvest is meant to be once a year then a church should ask the people to give only once. And after that the harvest.

 The harvest is the best example of things God desires for us. It is the time when the crop or the food is brought into the storehouse. A farmer or a vine specialist knows this is the most critical time of the year. It is the whole purpose of their life. Its not just a single paycheck but it is the reason they survive day after day without reason. They go out and they pray for rain so the rain will supply them with income. They get discouraged and its usually the day after they plant the seed. And that is when a big wind rises up and blows away the seed. They see it tumbling down the road and they weep. And they cry to God “Why is my seed blowing down the road? Could there not be an answer as to why?”

 And though they don’t know it it is because God allows their seed to blow so they will trust and they will rely and they will quit whining. And if they don’t whine or stop trusting then they are an amazing person. Yet even the best of us get discouraged. And that discouragement is the natural course of life. It is the time when the wine is about to flow freely and people get drunk on excess. And that is one reason why wine was given out at feast time. People wanted a time of excess. They wanted to know they were on the right path. They wanted weddings and they wanted blessings. And they wanted the best but they wanted it right away. Not at the end when everyone was already into the end time. Then they wanted to go home and sleep and forget that their head hurt.

So it is with the wedding and with money. God wants us to be free in our giving but He wants us to be free in our life as well. And that means he wants us to have a home without debt. He wants us to have a form of transportation which is reliable. Not an old cow but a fresh one. And the cow that is old stops giving milk. And so it is with the old vehicle. It stops using things wisely and goes up in the use of oil. And that means it isn’t a wise vehicle even if you have to spend excess on a new one.

 So then, who is wise in the use of money? The person who buys a second hand vehicle and spends thousands to keep it maintained? The person who saves money and buys a new vehicle with a warranty? Or are we to give up the vehicle, as some have, in order to give what they save to the church? They then rely on others to pick them up and take them home and drive them to the store. But they focus on the ministry.

 Perhaps that is good for I had a great Uncle and great Aunt who did that. They did have an older vehicle but eventually age took it and they wisely relied on people to help.

 Now all these things are part of me and my history. I write and it is good but I slowly get off focus. For if ten percent is of tithe it is Biblical and Gods desire. Yet if we give each week many of us have nothing at the end of the year. It is because we don’t receive a yearly income. We receive a weekly or monthly income. And those who get money use it for the same old bills. And they pile up monthly or weekly or yearly. And so we end up spending everything because there is always a bill to pay. We live in an age when taxes are on everything we consume. And no one takes time to think and no one takes time to pray.

 Now I’m not speaking of all. I speak over all but not of all. So if you do pray forgive me. And if you take time to think and for some they have little else to do then remind me. That is by thinking of me in your prayer.

Now the time to think and the time to pray are here. And I am frustrated because I see my seed blowing down the road. Its been blowing down the road for years and I haven’t been able to stop it. It goes along the tracks and into crevasses and into places I can’t see. Yet it is prayer and it is seed and it is building up a place.

 Building up a place means that I pray with hope. Today I prayed with anger but it was because I could not see. I was hit with pain and still am.

 In these things I pray and in these things I seek and I haven’t given up on hope I just wondered if I had said something to family or friend where I had gone overboard. I had said that I felt things were to fall apart and I didn’t know when. I said to one it could be a day or a week. And its been more then a few days and so I am wondering if I should write and apologize. The fact is I am not wrong. There are coming events and the day did have a sign for me. A downturn in the markets. I said years ago it would begin with Asia and the Far East. I thought it would be Japan and that region. It is now China and that is part of the story of what is coming. They are part of the history of things to come.

 Now I am trusting God for help. I am tired and wore out and burning with tiredness. My whole body is broke and I am exhausted. Mom said to me today she had hope and I have prayed for that.

 So what does come next? The answer is a war and that war is on its way to the Mainland. I speak of Ten Places and it is the Ten Places of hurt which is the key to what will come. For example the head. I have a head that hurts like crazy. So the head will be here in Canada. They must bear some of the head pain. And that will be the people of the head which is politics. So if you hear of trouble in Canada it is because they must bear it so that there might be hope for the people. And that means God will set them down and teach them about true life.

Second is neck pain. I have multiple neck problems and that is the stiff neck I bear. It is meant to be of people of the law. They are people of this place in Alberta who represent the neck. They are people of the law who have broken me in the neck. Since they are of Canada the head cannot support them. The neck is meant to be of help but it can’t because it is stiff and unweilding. So the neck will come to a place of hurt before it can be healed.

Now the neck needs massage and that means the company of those who are of healing. And that means Foot and Heels. The Foot Heals or Heels the heart and the heart is the key to the life of the city of Calgary. It is meant to be the beat and not the brain or brawn. So if it is of the law God will set it apart. And that means she will have to be demoralized before she can be healed. And this means God will bring her down and bring her down and bring her down until she is almost lost. And those who leave will have to find out why. That is they who remain will have to find out why. And the answer is because they cast off those who could not care for themselves. They were not just the Eastern bums but the creeps who crept in and tried to find a way of keeping warm.

Now the next part which has to be healed is the toe. The toe isn’t the foot but it is the fungus. It is the fungus of the heart for the toe is the part which is meant to be whole. If the toe is sick the heart is sick. And if the heart hurts the toe hurts. So think of the toe as being the part of the body which cannot be healed no matter what you do. The way of health makes another part of the body ill and this isn’t advisable. So the toe remains sick and will remain ill forever unless the body is healed. So in a way Alberta has a sick toe and that is the body of the land. The heart is Calgary but the toe is the corner of the land. Not in the North for that will change. But the bottom which is in the corner of the South and the East. When the toe begins to heal then the body comes to a healing place. And if the body begins to heal the heart is healed.

 Since the right foot is broke the part of the land near Cardston will remain broke. It isn’t because of Mormons or Natives it is because the land is broken and hurting. And the people in this place need a time when they can be healed. And to be healed means they need life. It cannot come unless a man is healed and that man is me. I may be arrogant but I’m tied to the land in some way which only God understands. I walked many miles of land and yet that was in my youth. Now I near the age of 50 and I have a foot they say is pinched but one podiatrist said it was because the toe was broken. He was right. I crushed it when mad at Satan and his serpent. I tried to crush but broke my foot. And so that is the truth of the land. The serpent is Satan and he is the foot but the heel isn’t meant to be healed but bruised. So if the heart of the land is Calgary then the foot is Southern Alberta but on the West and South portion. And that is near the border with Glacier and with Cardston. And in that region is much coal. It is a land filled with mystery but it is also a land filled with vile. Not of men but of snakes. And so trust that part of the land will remain vile for a long time to come.

 The other part is the heel. It isn’t just meant to be bruised in Alberta but meant to be healed in the land. It is meant to be set free of sickness and eventually of the vile. It will be delivered and it will become part of a new place which God will dwell in. A land of whole and completeness.

 Finally I have a bum and that is part of the creep which Ralph Klein spoke of in some of his early days at Premier of Alberta. He was trying to send home those who came here and sat around. They didn’t want to work but wanted to gain advantage of people by not working.

 Some really did come to work and grew sick. Others just came and couldn’t find much work. Others came and gave up. But some just sat and did little. And perhaps they were the ones who should have left. Maybe they did.

 All I know is they sat and their butt grew weary and they heart joined them in discouragement. And they gave up on the land and moved elsewhere. So the butt has to be born but the people of the land. And that can only be of time and not of men. And so the land has to rest and it will and it will be returned to the prairie. And those who came here will rest and they will pass and the people will change. And all things will be moved.

 There will be a time when pressure is moved off the land and people can walk it again. Fences will be torn and people will see it as a place to explore. Private land will have walk through paths and those who see it as their land will give freedom to others. Not to take or to steal but to give it as a gift. For it will become part of those who were cast down and those who were given little. It will become forested and there will be those who will see that as a miracle.

 God will take the forest and harvest the lumber and build homes for those who want. And they will be protected from harm and from wind. And there will be a time for the land to heal. And it will change.

 Now all this is part of the story of life. I am writing it as I am able. I am wore out. I want there to be a blessing and this is part of it. So give at the harvest and give as the fish but don’t let them milk you. For you are not a fish or a cow but people. And men need to realize that asking ten percent is meant to be of the excess. Out of the abundance and not out of the need. People of the future need to mark a set amount from the excess and the harvest will be plentiful. If we take from those who have nothing then God will judge us accordingly. So give by giving with love and not by graft. For God will restore all the cankerworm has taken. And will give what no one else can give. And will give a land to those who love Him.
