Flourishing

The bible declares that those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of their God. (Psalm 92:13) We all want the flourishing, but two things must be noticed. The first being, those that are planted, and second, where they are planted: the house of the Lord. We must be planted together with other believers, who Paul said of the Church at Philippi,

“Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for THE faith of the Gospel.”

Praise God!!!

Paul had to say “whether I be present or absent”, because he knew what happened most of the time he wasn’t there. They probably would not stay planted in the Truth (faith-message of the cross). If we are striving together for THE faith of the Gospel, we are planted in THE Truth (faith-message of the cross) which states, “if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death (His cross) we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection. (Romans 6:5)

The Word of God also declares Christ is a Son over His house whose we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of THE hope firm unto the end. (Hebrews 3:6)

Are you planted in a church the Lord recognizes today where the people are single minded and still excited about what our Jesus did for us, or is your excitement in everything your doing (all the churches programs)?

Many have wandered out of THE Way of understanding (the faith-message of His cross) and remain in a congregation, yet it is the congregation of the dead. (Prov. 21:16)

For those who have ears to hear the Spirit of the Lord, come out from among the dead and join those who are in THE FAITH (faith in His cross). They will be found in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for THE Faith of THE Gospel, which means simple faith in what Jesus did for you at Calvary. Glory to God, the Truth has come to our region. There is only one place of flourishing and that is in the courts of our God, and that only takes place as we are planted in the house of the Lord which is to be planted in THE Faith. We are praying for all those who are hearing the Spirit of the Lord speak to them, but are kicking against the pricks, trapped in the fear of man. It is hard to see the mud in the glass while you are in it. Be set free as you learn Truth and That Truth IS Christ and Him crucified. If you don’t understand this, please feel free to e-mail or write CrossWay Ministries.

Storehouse

The Lords desire is to bless us and He goes as far as to tell us one of the avenues through which blessings are obtained. Through the prophet Malachi, the Lord encourages His people once again by redirecting their attention back to His storehouse. He does the same thing through the prophet Habakkuk. He will always point us to the temple, and Christ is our temple. (John 2:19-21) The Lord requires the tithe (a tenth) of our increase be brought into the storehouse that there may be meat in His house. Not only is Jesus our temple, but He is also the meat (flesh) that is to be eaten in the storehouse. In John 6, while the multitudes followed Jesus for the show (His prophetic words), He said

"unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you.”

Note what happened when He referred to His main purpose (His cross). All turned away except the twelve. The only storehouse the Lord establishes is one that preaches Christ and Him crucified. Where the cross is not the message in every sermon, there is no meat in the House of the Lord, therefore, no power and it is not a store house the Lord has established.
Yes, that’s correct. The Lord will not honor your giving just because you give to a church, but as you bring your tithe and offerings into the storehouse He has established, He then can and will rebuke the devourer on your behalf and pour out on you a blessing that you cannot contain. That is a promise from the Lord. If your blessed financially, but your not sowing into the preaching of the gospel, which is the preaching of what Paul preached (the cross), then your just blessed because you live in a blessed nation and there are many lost folks who have money and some more than you. The Lord causes it to rain on the just and the unjust.
You can only know without a shadow of a doubt that what you have materially is directly from the Lord if you’re faith is in the cross of Christ and you’re sowing into a ministry that preaches just that. Remember, if you’ve got all you’ve got because you’re a getter and not a giver then all you’ve got will one day get you.
God’s storehouse has meat on the table and that meat is Christ and Him crucified. God chose the preaching of the cross, so when will you surrender to Gods way? Have you got too much invested into what you think is right today? So did the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. It’s our prayer that you could see what the Lord is doing and be a part of it. Ask the Lord for that fresh touch of boldness to declare Truth to a lost World.

We love you and are praying for you, Jesus is coming soon!!
