Life's Lesson In Giving

The plan of God is for us is to be a giver. God is a giver and He loves a cheerful giver—and we need to know that our blessings are tied up in our giving. Everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher, and God—who gives freely to His children (who fear Him and obey Him). God gave us the greatest gift in the form of Jesus (Immanuel: God with us), who became poor so that through His Spirit, we would become rich through The Word. God delights and responds to our heartfelt desires to give to others, even if we don’t have the means, and especially when we obey His leading to give, because (as we believe what Jesus teaches us), we know that God will not only supply the seed but multiply it so that we can be generous on every occasion and give our heart’s desires. This will open the way for us to walk in the fullness of God’s blessings.

Tonight God gave us a demonstration of a farmer supernaturally sowing seeds in the earth (us), watering the earth with rain from Heaven, and then waiting patiently for God to bring the increase. God’s servant, the prophet—who is a hardworking farmer, sowing seeds in us for the past 8 years, (and who by the way—according to God—should be the first to receive a share of the crops that are being harvested) gave us a word from God: something is about to come up through these supernatural seeds that were sown and watered tonight! The earth is yielding crops (30/60/100 fold) from the farmer’s sown seeds, and tonight, because the Word of truth birthed us, we are the first fruit, working all together, sowing, watering and waiting for God to bring the increase.

God instructed His prophet—an angel, to bring us good news (with just the right words) and to release God’s Christmas gifts to us.

“Greetings, you who are highly favored of God—The Lord shall be with you, tonight!

Here are God’s Christmas Gifts to us:
1. “Peace will rest with you tonight
2. I, God will give you the sure blessings promised to David (prosperity, health, joy, abundance...).
3. You are My treasured possessions set in praise, fame and honor high above all nations
4. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven
5. I will give eternal life to those who persist in doing good, and seeking My glory and honor.
6. I will give you the free gift of the Holy Spirit, if you ask Him tonight
7. I gave My servant a word for you:
a. It’s time for something to happen in your life now
b. “Return to your home with your great wealth
c. Already you have become rich and you have all that you want.

His presence was there so I could Hear the GOOD NEWS of CHRISTMAS:
· I was greeted by the Holy Spirit and HE spoke that I AM HIGHLY FAVORED
· My angel speaks through the Holy Spirit through my shepherd and said DO NOT BE AFRAID
because HE BRINGS ME GOOD NEWS…a Savior has been BORN IN ME.
· My savior - my gift is JESUS and he shall be called Emmanuel which means GOD IS WITH US/ME.
· God IS WITH ME and nothing can be against me.
· GOD predestined me to be with HIIM and nothing can separate me from the Love of GOD.
· God gave me the HOLY and SURE BLESSINGS:
v Good News: Prosperity- plenty of food and HE fills my heart with JOY.
v He set before me LIFE – I am predestined.
v He said CHOOSE LIFE and I chose LIFE and me and my children will live.
v He gave me a heart to LISTEN TO HIS VOICE and hold fast to HIM.
v He said I will have many years in the land.
v He said ASK and it will be given to me. He said SEEK and I will FIND. He said Knock and the
door has been opened to me.
v He said anyone who asks receives.
v He said if I seek Him I will find HIM. He who seeks finds.
v He said something is about to happen – something that I need. He knows that I need GOD
to help me with Mark, Brian, Alyson, Jade, Bryce that they learn from me SPEAKING the WORD OF GOD.
v He said I was re-routed down the right path.
v He said I am HIS FIRST FRUIT.
v He said I am planted seed - Jesus watered my seed – God came in and gave me with Increase.
v He said we- SOTM are the first fruits and move from the Holy Spirit.
v He said something is about to come up. He said Mark and Denise you have a Palm Tree.
v God spoke through my husband and said we have dates growing fruit from our Palm Tree.
v He said be patient and stand firm because the Lord’s coming is near. I believe HE is very near my mouth.
v He said the hard working farmer – my pastor should be the 1st to receive a share of the crops. This allows me to reflect on what GOD is saying because the Lord has given me insight into all that is happening.
v He said THINGS WILL BEGIN TO COME TO ME. I believe that HIS Knowledge poured on me.
v He said HE will give me the KEYS of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN and whatever I bound on Earth I bound in Heaven and whatever I loose on Earth I loosened in Heaven.
v He said, what are you going to do with the KEYS: He knows that I have written them on the tablets of my heart.
v He said HE WILL GIVE to me according to what I have done.

v He said GIVE and IT WILL Be GIVEN TO ME.
v He said there is an open door – give and it will be given to you – everything you put in it will be multiplied.
v He said TELL people about what GOD did in my life.
v He said be a giver and remember whoever sows sparingly reaps sparingly.
v He said JESUS had to become poor and died so I can become rich….so HE could live in me.
v He said I should never ever be in need.
v HE SAID THIS MESSAGE HE GAVE US WAS APPROVED BY GOD.
Thank you JESUS. I’m at your feet and your streams of living water flow within me.
