“This is exactly one very important reason I left the last church I attended faithfully for almost one year. I was on the verge of being homeless and the church knew about this. Not one single soul offered a place in many of their homes for my little girl and I. Much less helped us financially. Of course they were more than willing to pray, but that was it. Now one sister who I was very close to was very close to the pastor’s wife. She had money saved up in the thousands and was getting ready to purchase a cow for the pastor’s wife’s residence as they lived in big houses with lots of acreage like farms. She often came over bragging about how much money she had saved up and what to do with it. She never once offered to help me and my daughter. By the grace of God He answered my prayers for housing and we were not homeless, BUT it was not from any Christian/s or this church that our prayers were answered. It was through a secular, unsaved couple that I did not even know!!! Needless to say I lost all hope and was so hurt by the people of that church and so left. To this day it still hurts and stings. But I can forgive. I just don’t have a desire to be part of that church. I have seen God use the UNsaved to help christians and i believe this is because that is a true sign to the life of those professing God their hearts are hard and stingy that even an unbeliever’s heart is softer sometimes? What do you think? I have seen more help in my life from UNbelievers than believers. It really is a sad thing when UNbelievers are the ones opening up their hearts and pocket books to the saints and christians today. It really is a wake up call isn’t it?” T.S.
Response:
Hello and thank you for sharing this although I must say that this makes me livid. God is going to eternally punish those who aren’t generous with what He has allowed for them to steward and for which they shall be judged. Riches unused for God’s glory will be accounted for by He who sees all. In fact, the LORD told us that those riches are going to testify in court – in the Supreme Court of the Universe before the Ultimate Judge – against those who do not use them for God’s glory (James 5:1-7).
In His Word, the Almighty directly ties together the destiny of our eternal souls with our stewardship. Hell awaits those who aren’t givers – which simply reveals that their hearts and lives are not given over to Christ in a saving relationship. Hell awaits. That is crystal clear in His Word (Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:40-46). Remember the man who fared sumptuously (deliciously in comfort and luxury-like 99% of Americans) while Lazarus lacked and yet the man refused to lift a finger to help Lazarus? Where did Jesus say that man went and is today awaiting his appearance at the Great While Throne Judgment where he will be terminated into the very “lake of fire”? (Revelation 20:10-15)
People who can help and refuse are literally going to spend eternity in hell for their evil withholding. They will literally for all eternity wish they had done things differently. This is unbelievable – how little people sell their souls for, thinking they have security in their temporal goods and bank balance. Jesus told one man he had to give it all up – all his wealth (whether much or little) – to follow Christ. Why? – Because the LORD saw that that man’s trust and security was in his money.
In Jesus’ name, I refuse to be quiet about this because it’s all over God’s Word, and, I must preach this part of the whole counsel of God Word so that there is no blood on my hands for not warning (Ezekiel 33). The LORD told us to “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 1Ti 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
Regrettably, most who hear this Bible message and warning preached straight from God’s Word, will sadly crassly pass it up as if it didn’t personally apply to them and will stand before God undone. The LORD told us plainly in Luke 16:19-31 that all men “have Moses and the prophets” which simply refers to the written Word of God. The LORD said that’s all we need and that all men are fully accountable to know and obey it or perish. WHAT is the reason for that man going to hell? Go read Luke 16:19-31 and see the exact reason he went to hell and will never again feel comfort for all eternity. The written Word is the final authority of God (Psalms 119; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:12-21). Many will say in their darkened hearts “Well, I really don’t have a lot of money. I’m not as rich as some people and so, I am excused.” Nonsense. These same exact people waste dozens or even hundreds of dollars monthly on any number frivolous things while claiming to have nothing to help others with. God sees right through this evil refusal and when they die and cry out to Him, it will be too late. Read Proverbs 1:18-29.
These same people who claim that they have nothing to give find it very easy to impulse buy and to commit to 40.00 month for the gym membership, 50.00 month for cable or satellite TV, perfumes, accessories, clothes they don’t need, entertainment budget, and little or nothing to help Christians in need or the work of Christ. God sees all of this and will repay (Proverbs 11:24-26).
“If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:12
Now, read this. Could it be any clearer?
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17
Those who are not generous with what they do have, do not possess saving faith.
Inasmuch as we turn a deaf ear to the needs of God’s children, we are turning away from Christ Himself and plunging headlong into eternal damnation – “Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:45-46)
Those who truly belong to Jesus – who came and gave all – are without exception, generous, liberal givers.
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Proverbs 11:24-26
Empty Your Barn or Go to Hell – The Choice is Yours
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:15-21
Mad at me? Go for it. You won’t be the first or last. My desire is to please and obey God and to keep you out of hell. If you will choose to repent, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and obey Him, you will reap blessings untold both now and forever. Otherwise, you will pay for your own sins forever in the lake of fire for rejecting the only sacrifice for your sins. Rejecting Christ means you didn’t abide in faith with Him which always – without fail – yields obedient serving.
People who get nervous about the preaching of stewardship reveal that they are serving money and not God. Their money is what they trust while they feign to be trusting Christ. But Jesus said: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:21-24)
Is the LORD you claim to love and be saved by worth giving Him the first portion of your income? You have contracted to pay and scheduled in your mortgage or rent payment and other things, so ask yourself if God is less or more important than those things. Consider putting God first place in your stewardship and watch what He will do.
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
FEEDBACK: WOW More Emails About This! This is Staggering!
“Unfortunately, this is too common and is an indictment upon many who claim to be believers.” Edmund A.
“WOW … How sad! I think that people who do not have as much overflow are more willing to give away what they have because they live by faith! So heart breaking when we can share a portion, God would meet that portion and multiply both portions when done with a right spirit.” Cheryl

“I can RELATE because I was in this lady’s shoes. I belonged to a BIG CHURCH here in Portland OR! I was homeless, living in my car with my 5 year old son at the time…now is 18. They told me that I could sleep in my car in the ‘churches’ back parking lot but I was to leave before the sunrise in the morning. No church would offer any help! Then there was another time I went to the church asking for help…no the pastor told me when I did these 3 things he would help me. 1. get a place to live, 2 get a job 3. come back to church! Well since then I have done all that. I have been on disability since 2008 — I returned to that church to let him see that I have done all of those things. HE wouldn’t even recognize that I was there in the front pew. Woe be unto those pastors that led us astray. Oh Lord have mercy upon them. Since then the Lord has made provision for me. No church has been able to help me or my family. My 18 year old son told me last night that the churches that I raised him in were ‘FAKE’! I didn’t raise him to feel this way BUT I have many, many stories that I can tell about how churches have treated me and my son. I am Caucasian and my children are malato. Tell me what’s wrong in this story?” Deborah S.

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Notice “of God” and “NOT of God”

Jose was given a stack of JESUS tracts after he said he wanted to evangelize.
Brother Juan passes by where Jose works for work daily and so that connection and fellowship is being put in place.
A FEW DAYS AGO: Sister Maria called for more JESUS tracts. She ran out as she is distributing hundreds per day. So our dear sister, thanks to you who are praying and supply…. was given a new jacket to keep her warm (pictured), food and drink to bring home for her living quarters, a fresh supply of JESUS tracts, some cash (Mexican pesos), and some Scripture that she as usual read out loud and devoured as I brought them up on my cell phone from the Spanish Bible (Reina Valera). God is good saints. May He be glorified in all you are doing to see the beloved people of Mexico reached with His bless-ed Gospel! You are refreshing His beloved saints.
LORD willing, I will be meeting again with our dear brother Juan this week to refresh him in fellowship etc.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
Mexico: The Land where the Gospel of Jesus is Freely Received
“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
As we truly follow Jesus He makes us fishers of men.
“And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17
This was the sweetest couple ever as you can tell by the picture. They were overjoyed to receive the preaching of our LORD’s Gospel and were told how to be saved – repentance and faith in Christ, and showed the prayer on the back, etc. They were directed to the prayer on the back and exhorted to pray in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. When asked they said they’d welcome your prayers for them.
On the streets today in Mexico ministering our LORD Jesus’ Gospel to many. As usual the name of Jesus was preached in Christ’s love and it was readily, eagerly received by most who thanked us for giving them the Gospel. SMH. It’s no even fair!
A man name Jose was ministered to, received the Word, and prayed in repentance and faith to be saved! Would you like to lift our new brother in Christ in prayer? Jose Patron is his name and we are connected and he’s already been given more Scripture and added to the Spanish WA group.
Jose just sent me a voice recording saying Thank you to Mark and I for ministering Jesus’ Gospel to him and that he wants to do the same thing we are doing, minister to others our LORD’s Gospel.
Here’s a clip of brother Mark ministering.
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20
“The food looks healthy. Just this morning I was thinking that it is unfathomable, in my mind, to comprehend what the Lord is doing in Mexico. I watched the video of Mark passing out Jesus tracts and everyone was so receptive. That stuck in my mind, because I recently watched a video of a man preaching the gospel on a train. Zero response! Everyone kept looking at their phones and never once looked up. This is the true state of America. We have need of nothing and especially not Jesus. Rev 3:17. As opposed to the precious people of Mexico who know they are poor in spirit and are in need of the Lord to save them. They know something is missing in their lives. When Mark was passing out those Jesus tracts people were very happy and joyful to receive them, here they are rejecting the Savior.” Karen Cochran
We went to a colonia, to a street where no one was outside at the moment, Brother Mark said “God sent us this way for a reason, for someone.” 30 seconds later we came upon Jose! Boom.
Then came the Gospel explosion!
Upon ministering Christ’s Gospel to him, Jose Patron excitedly shared with brother Mark and I about how God had saved him from dying. He simply needed the opportunity to repent and be saved – and that’s exactly what JESUS did. Thank you for lifting our beloved brother Jose in prayer.

“I love this brother! May God continue to provide and increase his fruit in the lives of the disciples in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Pakistan, in Kenya, in all his earth for his glory! Amen.
I was reading Psalm 8 and John 10. Beautiful beyond understanding is God’s love poured out in Christ Jesus toward us who hear his voice!
Much love to the body of Christ in Mexico and throughout the whole world. Jesus is coming!
Love brother Jon.”

Your prayers coveted for the people of Mexico to be saved (Ps 2:8).
After receiving the ministry of God’s Word, Antonio was asked if he wanted you to lift him in prayer. He eagerly accepted and is glad you will pause to lift his life to the LORD in prayer. | Mexico Mission
ON THE TOPIC OF MEXICO
The Mexican people never handed their country over to the government so that the government can take it away the government cannot take it away because
Historically and presently the Mexican people find a way to circumvent the government. They never let the government have control and therefore the government can’t take their freedom away – because the people recognize their freedom coming from God.
The tax money of the people is a large way that the government controls the people they are empowered by the riches of the people through taxes in order to control and exploit them endlessly. Your tax money fuels your slavery….
Mexican people have a very healthy dis-trust for government. This is unlike many Americans. Many Americans it seems, haven’t learned that the promises candidates make before an election, will nearly never carry them out when elected. It seems the “We’re going to release the epstein files” was a mere ruse to cover those secret files. “It’s all a big club, and you’re not in it.” George Carlin
Thank you for praying for this man, Juan. He received ministry today and is in need of being saved.

The concept of a “daily cross life” with Jesus is the way of living that involves submitting ourselves to Christ daily, perpetually, and living in sacrificial service to God and His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). This is based on the Bible verse Luke 9:23, which says, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it” (Luke 9:23-24).
In short, the cross gets you, me, out of the way so Christ can reign. Selah.
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57
How do we walk in victory after Jesus saves us? By participating in the daily cross life.
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24
HOW could we possibly, vainly believe we are going to overcome the sins that prevent us from eternal glory without the daily crucified life? Not going to happen.
The cross is essential—the crucified life. Read Romans 6 in prayer each morning.
Death and burial must precede resurrection. There will be no resurrection in your personal life—no divine raising you up out of sin and into victory—until you lay down your life, until you die.
The Bible says we have been FOOLS:
“Thou fool, that which thou sowest (plant) is not quickened (made alive), except it die:” 1 Corinthians 15:36
How could we have ever believed that God is going to raise us upward into His victory, out of sin, until we died? I can tell you why—it’s because we weren’t honestly studying and obeying His Word for ourself but rather following false teachers (Philippians 3:18-19).
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4:10-11
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:11-13
The original Gospel is a cross Gospel. Any gospel that does not have the cross front and center, is “another gospel,” a false gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Reading Romans 6 prayerfully each morning is a blessing.
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, I love You and thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die for my sins and the sins of the whole world. We are not worthy but You bought us with the very life blood of Christ, back to Yourself from a life of sin, to be Your sons and daughters. Please forgive all my sins afresh LORD. Into Your holy, mighty hands I now submit my spirit. Bless this life to be crucified with You dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
