Proverbs 11: 25 ' A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.'
God speaks to me a lot through imagery, pictures, visions.
The other day I had this picture (above) of small
H U N G R Y
birds.
Take a moment to look at them. See how their little necks are
outstretched,
See how their mouths are
wide open.
See the look about them that cries out,
'Give me food now!'
The next picture that followed, was a nest full of
Content,
Fat
&
Full birds,
I could not find a picture to suit exactly, but the closest thing I could find was this:
(try not to laugh!)
Now, Here is the part that may get you....
God spoke to me and said this:
" The World is full of hungry people, starving for a taste of me. Their mouths are wide open, their necks are stretched out tall. They are desperate to be fed by the bread of my presence and to be refreshed with my words.
The Church, is full of people who are Fat with my word, my presence, my life....
It is TIME that they got out of their comfy nests and shared some of their spiritual wealth!'
People are
hungry,
ready
&
waiting.."
John 21:17
17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
Matthew 25
37 :"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
Today, can we search our own hearts and seek God, asking him to reveal to us who we might share our 'wealth' with.
be blessed,

Wow. I love what He spoke to you. Full of truth and so much conviction! We are so full and He wants us to share with those who are hungry for what we have. I love that scripture where Jesus tells us to feed His sheep!
This was so beautiful, Rebekah.
