People
have been wondering why as a prophet I am spending time speaking out on
debt and discouragement. I have again and again known people who were
deep in debt and despair without hope. Some have taken their own
lives. Happened recently. Truth would have set them free... but they
keep hearing the same things from the church. They offer an insipid
instruction that helps not the one at the end of his rope....literally.
Either it is a "Give so you get out of debt" or you need to attend Financial Peace university with Dave Ramsey or take a course from Crown Financial. While all of them are true and good... it doesn't help the man or woman who is contemplating suicide. What they need to know is how to become armed with what is available. They need their hands taught how to do warfare. They need hope NOW.
Once they get free from fear and despair they can then begin the process of coming back. The Church is really bad at dealing with this. I have thought perhaps that a broke member doesn't tithe much so we don't reach out to them. That would be wrong, but I am suspect. Yet as one who has escaped the snare of the Fowler... I know the truth.
Please, go to my wall. I have posted three times in the last 24 hours on this topic. An article from the Wall Street Journal. And a couple other things. People don't come to Jesus because their marriage is great, they have a great job, kids are wonderful and their health is good. They come because like those who were Davids Mighty Men once were the most discouraged and indebted. They became mighty men by David teaching their hands to war. That is what i am doing. If you want to be free... learn warfare. Not financial peace, crown or give to get false promises.
1 Samuel 22:2 that “all those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around David, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.” Some of these loyal followers of David accomplished great things on David's behalf, and they are registered as David's “mighty men” in 2 Samuel 23. You too can be mighty... learn to war against this oppression. There is hope for Victory if you faint not.
