A Secret To Receving From God!

Brother John
Have You ever been seeking something from God and can not seem to receive from Him what you are praying, seeking, begging Him for.
Is it a need or a want, a desire for others, for yourself. Is it financial, physical, or spiritual.
Recently I revisited the verse where it talks about Those who are willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land! I can tell you that the greatest blessings always come on the other side of obedience to the Word and or direction of God and His Holy Spirit. But and that what we often let get in the way is our own posteriors, at least whats between our ears. We can be obedient and not be willing.
You ever seen children do the will or direction of their parents (father) and grumble the whole time they are doing it? They accomplished the task, but it was not done in joy & love, or to it's best outcome, because it was not done willingly.
So the Father did not reward the child or servant with the best of gifts or the Good Of The Land because it was not done in the manor that lines up with the word.
God still loves us, we do not lose our child of God on salvation status, but we do not receive the best blessing or the answered prayer we sought.
A well known preacher once shared with God in his prayer time his financial difficulties, after being directed to leave a pastorate and go on the road with his ministry. He had done what the Lord had ask him to but was suffering financially and was talking with God reminding Him of that scripture (Isa. 1:19) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: And God spoke to him and said you are obedient and have done well what I ask, but you do not qualify for that scripture because you are not willing. He prayed about and searched himself and quickly got willing down in his spirit. God saw the change and then told him the rest of what he needed to know to help this minister in his finances.
God said to him you are a great faith preacher but you are not acting on what you preach. He was floored by this statement, because he not only was healed by faith but he believed and taught others daily how to have faith to be healed and for salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit.
God said you believe and have faith for all of that but not for your finances or my blessings to overtake you. He was right. He went further, God said you prey for me to send you money to fit you needs, but I have no American dollars in heaven, I am not with holding adequate food and clothing from you or your children, The Devil is he is the god of that world because Adam gave him dominion. The money you need is there on earth and I said in Luke 6:38 Luke Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
The pastor ask "then what should I do Lord" and the Lord replied, do not pray about money anymore, "Claim What You Need" in Jesus name, then say "Satan take your hands off my money and my finances, now that it shall come unto me" because it is Satan keeping from the saints of God not Me! Claim it and call in your wants and your needs, they are there on earth.
The preacher then question God on the wants, saying Lord I know you supply all our needs through Christ Jesus our Lord but I not sure about our wants?
God reminded the preacher of one of his favorite Psalms he quotes 23rd Psalm "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not WANT.' then he reminded him about the 34th Psalm 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

God said again "Claim what you want & need. Say Satan take your hands off my finances" then say, "Go ministering spirits, cause the money to come"
The preacher said why should I do that I thought the spirits ministered to us not for us.
God said reed it again Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Jesus said "Actually, ministering spirits are sent to serve you. for example you go to a restaurant and give your order for food to the waitress, she is ministering to you. Turn your order in line it up with the Word. then send the ministering spirits out to get it saying." Go ministering spirits, and cause the money to come." once you have claimed it in faith, you must not keep praying about it or do anything else. If I thought about the situation, I was to stay in faith and say,"Thank God for it. It's working."

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Mat 6:32 for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Are Small Non-Profits Being Affected By The Economy?


About a special new small non-profit that helps disabled people with durable equipment!


They raise funds through several fund raising programs, and then they buy some and are given some of their equipment that they then give to the disabled people who qualify. the qualify by either not having insurance or by their insurance refusing to pay for the prescriptions that their doctors have written for their equipment.
LWWM centers on the needs of the people. They currently have a need for two lift chairs for two individuals, a lady with severe arthritis and COPD, and a man in a nursing home who has severe edemas in his legs and needs a lift chair that also reclines to a flat level. These are only two of our needs. We also right now need a tri motor Hospital bed with hand control for a man who has a back broken in two places. His last of 4 major surjeries striped scar tissue off of his nerves and repaired the brakes in his backs where they had come loose frome previous surjeries. He has been in so much pain he is not sleeping well and has started having seziers due to lack of sleep, and being in constant pain even with a pain pump implanted and serious oral meds. A hospital bed with the motors will allow him to get in just the right position to be comfortable enough to sleep for hours, and stop the seizers.
These are just a few of the people we serve physically while being able to minister to them through Jesus Christ, and His love.
We currently have a number of metal crutch sets, a 500lb. Hoveround electric wheelchair and other durable equipment to place. To help Living Water Works Ministries you can go to http://livingwaterworks.110mb.com or http://lwwmarketing.110mb.com or email them with contributions at livingwaterworks@gmail.com

If you can it is worth supporting! Many are the small non-profits losing out and the people that they serve because of the downturn in the economy. But God's economy is not America's economy, especially since the secular Government wants to take all referance to God out of our nation. We are a nation founded by Christians to be a Christian nation where others had the freedom to come and worship as they will. Now in many places it is illegal to prey in Jesus name but not illegal to prey in Ala's name. This nation still clames to be 70% Christian or better but we won't stand up for it. We will let them run rufshod over us and our nation, or we can prey and stand up for our God to continue to Bless America
