My people expect Me to bless them. They expect to receive
the same returns they see others from long ago in My holy Word receiving, yet
they prevent themselves.
My children, if you want to receive what My people of old
received, you must live holy as My people of old lived holy. You must do as My people of
old did. You must sacrifice as My people of old sacrificed.
If you sow a different seed, you get a different result.
NOTE: Sacrifice here does not mean like animal sacrifices that were required in biblical times before Jesus came. Sacrifice here means sacrificing the desires of your flesh. It means living unto Him and not yourself.
Mark 12:41-44
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how
the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in
two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all
they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she
of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
1 Kings 17:10-23
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to
the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering of sticks:
and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a
vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her,
and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a
cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and,
behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and
my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou
hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring [it] unto me, and
after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of
meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that]
the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah:
and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.
16 [And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the
cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
17 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the son
of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so
sore, that there was no breath left in him.
18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O
thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to
slay my son?
19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him
out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him
upon his own bed.
20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God,
hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her
son?
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and
cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's
soul come into him again.
22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of
the child came into him again, and he revived.
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of
the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said,
See, thy son liveth.
