Infection Healed by Prayer

July 10,2017 I had a bad bladder infection.  It was too late in the day and week to see the doctor; and I really did not have the money for an office call.  I knew God can heal, so I prayed.

I prayed for God to take notice of my predicament of health and money. I reminded God of the various times He has healed me in the past.  I claimed Bible promises. I asked forgiveness for my sins, naming all I could remember.  And then I asked God for healing.  Immediately I thanked God for the healing

And I was healed, from that moment on!

Praise God! He is sooo good!

Finances in Difficult Times

No one ever trusted God in vain.  God never disappoints those who depend on Him.

...It is very tempting to trust in the power of the government or in our retirement account, but in every crisis mentioned in the Bible, when the people trusted in God  He honored their trust and provided for them.

quoted from God Will Provide by John Bradshaw; chapter Managing Finances in Difficult Times,
p 27, by G Edward Reid.

Rich People according to the Apostle James

Listen rich people!

Groan with anguish because of all the terrible trouble ahead of you!  Your money is rotting away, and your fine clothes will soon be rags.  Your wealth will soon be worthless.

The (ill-gotten) wealth you were counting on will eat your flesh like fire.  This treasure you have accumulated will stand in evidence against you on Judgment Day!

Listen to the cries of your employees whom you cheated out of their pay!  Their cries have reached the ears of God.

You have spent your life in luxury, satisfying every desire.  You have fattened yourself for the day of slaughter, the last day.

You have condemned and killed innocent people who do not resist you!

James 5:1-6
- New Testament, the Bible, Holy Scriptures

Prophecy of Capital & Labor in the Last Days

Read what Holy Scripture has to say about Discontented workers and their rich employers in the last days of Earth's history. Read the following Scripture below - James 5:1-6,8:

Come you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupt and your garments are moth-eaten. Your money is corroded, and its corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat you like fire. You have heaped up wealth in the last days.

You (the wicked rich) have withheld the wages of your employees by fraud, and God hears the cries of your employees! You [the wicked rich] have lived on earth in selfishness and luxury, you have fattened your life as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, they do not resist you.

...You [the righteous] be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near!

James 5:1-6,8

Finances

"There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches." Proverbs 13:7

"Better is a little with righteousness, than vast wealth without justice [God]." Proverbs 16:8

From a Bible view, God promises to provide for us when we put the principles of Heaven first in our lives.

 In a world where little is certain, in an age of tremendous financial insecurity, God promises that when we are faithful to Him, He will provide.

No one ever trusted God in vain. He never disappoints those who trust in Him.

Your Greatest Desire...

Have you determined to be rich? Then let these words in Matthew chapter six impress your heart and direct your life. They will teach you to be content, and to yield your will to the control of the Holy Spirit. You will not then be elbowing (back-stabbing)your fellow-worker that you may make room for your plans.

But your greatest desire will be to work in just the place that God has assigned you, and where He can look upon you with approval.

Security - Love or Money?

From a worldly viewpoint, money is power; but from the Christian standpoint, love is power.

Wealth is often an influence to corrupt and destroy; force is strong to do hurt; but truth and goodness are the properties of pure love.

That which Satan plants in the heart - envy, jealousy, evil [thoughts], evil speaking, impatience, prejudice, selfishness, covetousness, and vanity - must be uprooted.

Selections from Adventist Home, chapter 31, Ellen G White

Self-indulgence

Professed Christians yearly expend an immense sum for useless and harmful self-indulgences, while souls are perishing for the word of life.

If all who profess to be followers of Christ were truly sanctified, their money, instead of being spent for needless and even hurtful self-indulgences, would be turned into the Lord's treasury.

Based on The Great Controversy, p 475, E G White
