The true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth

It's The Spirit

"It is the Spirit that quickeneth..." John 3.63a. This important phrase traveled two millennia -- 2000 years -- to get to you.

There is a part of you that is not made of matter. Don't you realize that God, The Creator, can create things that don't have physical embodiment? People don't die. Their physical "encapsulation" ceases function and begins decomposition, no longer needed.

That's an important realization about faith: The true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth... John 4:23. Words come to mind like "impromptu" or "add-lib" or, "as the Spirit moves".

It is the Spirit that quickeneth. The flesh propheteth nothing. Those worthless ceremonial rituals will not do the job. Ritual is the chief cause of, indirectly, economic failure throughout entire history. It's why the Worldly associate armament production with wealth. Carnal-mindedness and lust. "From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" James 4:1.

That's also why the Antichrist -- the false Messiah -- will be accepted by those meat-heads. He'll be a war-monger.

The movement of the Spirit of God has been recorded through history in the scriptures. The Bible is the book of the "Messianic Destiny". It wasn't by the holiness of the people, but by the destiny of the Messiah that the scriptures emanated from whence they did, be it Israel or the Mediterranean and other places.

So it is, you, also, won't get anywhere economically, in the true economics, unless you get used to getting your instructions from God. As the Spirit moves.

So what about the Worldly? -- What can I say? It's as the Romans learned: no Christians, no empire.

If you who are of the World want some real prosperity for a change, you're going to have to stop picking on the Christians, you who imagine yourselves to be so superior. Illusions from fantasy books on the black arts an economy does not make.

Those of you who are "born again" -- a term the Worldly absolutely hate (a term coined by Jesus Himself -- John 3:3) -- you're going to have to obey the Lord and forsake religiosity and all the attendant feel-good baggage the Devil would love to saddle you with to make you think you're worshipping God, when, in reality, God doesn't want ritual. The human mind will never be able to figure it out.

But if you become accustomed to being moved by the Spirit (John 3:8), the more you do, the more you'll understand how God works. God doesn't, and never has, done anything by human ritualism.

But if you are moved by the Holy Spirit and you do things the right way and are therefore prospered, it will seem to "outsiders" that good fortune has happened to you by coincidence or accident, or, as they call it, "happenstance". But, as it recurs again and again, they will be taken aback.

Now, there's a lot to write about at this point, on how you may have to become nomadic as you get persecuted and develop the alternate escalation of persecution and success, and other things. But suffice it to note at this point that the key is that God will prosper you.

You have to remember that you, as the servant of the Most High God, are not prospered so that you can become "wealthy" (in other words, the "bigger barns" scenario -- those that lay up treasure for themselves and are not rich toward God; as in the Lord's parable -- Luke 12: 18-21) -- not that you can become wealthy, but that you might have sufficient means to carry out your ministry while here in this life, or to help others in theirs, or both.

Remember, if you are blessed with actual wealth, that's not yours, it's God's. You're just the steward over it. Believe me, you don't want your own personal wealth, for with that comes a multitude of sorrows. First Timothy 6:10. But if you are entrusted with God's wealth, The Lord doesn't mind if you use portions of the wealth to procure appropriate equipment and essentials such as housing, food, clothing, office necessities, transportation and so on.

By the way, remember the importance of records and documentation. Be sure to back up your data as much as possible and that there are hard copies of your documentation in some type of in-house library. Sort of a facility for those disciples in your ministries and fellowships.

You Worldly people, quit scandalizing the Christians whose needs are being met by God. You don't believe it? Well, you see, they'll have God's supply weather you believe it or not. You should at least question if there really is something to it and get saved. Ask God to forgive you of all and any sins in Jesus' Name and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Then ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and begin to participate in the Joy of the Lord. Then when your soul moves on and sheds this physical "chrysalis", you'll have eternal wealth and free room and board in the Kingdom of Heaven!

But all of us have to learn the wherefores of the process whereby the Father takes the rough edges off each of those willing to serve Him. In the Old Testament is the parable of the potter. Jeremiah 18: 1-4. The prophet Jeremiah was sent by the Lord to a potter's shop and he saw a vessel fashioned, marred, then brought back to a lump of clay to be reformed again into an acceptable vessel.

With all who serve Him, God is like the good potter that will keep reforming the lump of clay. But you might think once or twice is enough. Try thousands or maybe even millions in one good servant's lifetime.

To get the servant of the Lord into his or her full stature as a man or woman of God, God has to work with them incessantly in a constant process of breaking and molding until finally they begin to realize the ways of the Lord and can begin to respond accordingly to God's instructions and commands.

For there is no higher calling than the service of the Lord. But the "servant" is actually "servus" in the Greek, which means "slave". As Jesus said, "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do." Luke 17:10.

Little by little, slowly, the people God is working with begin to learn from each occurrence, how to hear from the Lord, how to do what He's showing them, and so on. Their faith grows, their experience accumulates, and they begin to get results and God can prosper them and even the whole area in which they live. Unless the others around them persecute them, as so often happens.

As Jesus said, "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another..." Matthew 10: 23a. It is also mentioned by Paul to Timothy, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Second Timothy 3: 12.

Then those blessings are withdrawn from that area that persecuted God's people, although often the people of that place never notice. The Bible explains the perverse attitude of some of the worst ones in that they imagine evil to be good and also they imagine good to be evil. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5: 20. So they also imagine the people of God to be evil.

But that could change at any moment for any one of them and they could turn to God, be forgiven and become their true selves, the exquisite little personality they were originally, the real person before they became dominated by all that evil and they, too, could know the joy and prosperity God would give them even in the face of all that adversity.

As it says in Psalm 23: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies..." Psalm 23:5a.
