Give To Give
It is so hard to grasp the goodness of God. We tend to want to create God in our own image. God is a giver. He gives and gives just to give. And when He gives, He lets it go and doesn’t take it back. Whatever He has given is ours to do with whatever we want!
Love Gives
What does God expect from us in return for giving His only begotten Son?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – Jhn 3:16 KJV
He expects nothing FROM us. All of God’s expectations are FOR us! He gives life eternal through His Son, Jesus expecting for us to receive freely.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. – Mat 10:8 KJV
Freely Give to Give!
Most Christians aren’t freely receiving because we cannot grasp our Father’s true nature. We have an enemy who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy by twisting and perverting God’s written word. He also slanders God’s good nature and character by accusing God of evil. Who is doing D-evil? The devil!
God gives to give. And the devil takes to steal, kill, and destroy. Then the devil perverts God’s word to make us think that God gives and takes away. He asks, “Did God say you couldn’t have that?”
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? – Gen 3:1 KJV
Instead of saying, “Look at all those trees that you can have! Wow! God is so good!”
We fall for it just as Eve did. Then, instead of calling out to God, “Jesus, look what Eve just did! What should I do to help?” We join in so she doesn’t have to suffer alone! Right?
Stop Blaming God
We must stop allowing the devil to deceive us into blaming God for what the devil is doing. It’s a good excuse. I get it. If God is controlling everything and everybody, then I don’t have to take responsibility for my own actions. I can just blame God and others. NO!
Give to Give
When we realize that God gives to give, we can learn to receive without fear, guilt, anxiety, etc. Those are all demonic spirits by the way. They are certainly not from God.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. – 2Ti 1:7 KJV
If God is not giving out the spirit of fear, who is? I’ll give you one guess!
God is giving out power! Love! And a sound mind!!! Hallelujah!
He wants us to give these awesome gifts to others as we freely receive them. The problem is that we are allowing the enemy, the thief to deceive us into not receiving!
Power
How do you receive the power that God has already freely given?
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. – 2Ti 3:5 KJV
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: – 2Pe 1:3 KJV
Do you really want to have a form of godliness and just spend the rest of your life going through the religious motions? Worshiping God with your mouth while your heart is far from Him?
NO!
Love
God “agapao” loves us. He “1 Corinthians 13:4-7” loves us. The King James Version translates this as charity. “Charity” is giving expecting absolutely nothing in return. God is love. If you have Jesus and His words abiding in you, the fruit of His Holy Spirit will naturally flow through you.
agapaō (verb) to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing
The KJV translates Strong’s G25 in the following manner: love (135x), beloved (7x).
Blue Letter Bible
In John 3:16, God so loved-“agapao”-the whole world. That’s right. While we were all yet sinners, wicked in our own minds, evil, god-haters, God was well pleased, contented at, and contented with us, the whole world. He still is! He has judged all of humanity worthy of the blood of His own Son. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.
Love came down, put on a robe of flesh, died and rose again. Why? To restore to man that which was lost. Our identity. He wants you to receive His robe of righteousness and signet ring here in this world. And be His child. Spend time with Him and His Son Jesus by communing with His Holy Spirit.
Let’s pray:
Father, give us eyes to see and ears to hear. Amen!
Sound Mind
God has given us the mind of Christ for the taking!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. – 1Co 2:16 KJV
We Have! It is finished. Present tense! Do you receive what He has already provided?
How To Freely Receive
Ask! Just as with the free gift of salvation. All we have to do is ask, believe God, and receive!
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. – Mar 11:24 KJV
What things soever! Yes! That’s exactly what the Bible says! When we get into His Word and get Him and His Word into us, we can’t help but to delight ourselves in Him. And that is the whole foundation of this website and my ministry and my life. Thank You, Jesus!!!
Give to Give
Don’t give to receive honor or anything else from other people. It is a trap!
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only? – Jhn 5:44 KJV
The Bible tells us how to treat other people, but we can easily fall into expecting other people to obey. We simultaneously make excuses why we can’t or won’t be doers of the Word ourselves. I know because I was doing that the other day. “If this then that.”
This is the Day to Give to Give!
Jesus clearly dropped into my spirit: “This is the day of salvation.” I know that salvation means wholeness: wealth, health, and wisdom (3 John 1:2).
Tell the devil to shut up! I need to be able to give to give!
If you don’t have wealth, how can you give wealth? How can you freely serve and give if you aren’t physically able? If you are not investing time into renewing your mind to receive the wisdom that comes from above? I won’t tell you that’s what the Bible calls foolishness and laziness. Those are not rewarding at all!
Made in the Image of God
You are made in the image of your wonderful, good, loving, giving, Father! He doesn’t want anything from you! He wants EVERYTHING good and perfect for you. And you get to freely give to the world what you will humble yourself and freely receive from Him! You Will WANT To!
