PRESENTING JESUS TO THE WORLD 

THROUGH GIVING 

Not only did Jesus heal thousands and thousands of people every day and every night, but any gifts anyone gave him, money, gold, gems, jewels, food, and so on, which people gave him quite frequently, He would turn and give them to the poor and the needy. He even paid off many people’s debts to get them out of physical prison. He wanted to relieve their financial suffering as well as the physical needs of desperation. He was once again, showing His love and care for people and their needs. He wanted to provide for them in many ways and by doing so, He was testifying of the goodness of himself and the Father. It was His pure love and compassion on display. Yet He was secret and humble about this to the point that the gospels only show a small fraction of what He did. When we give, we give in The Name of Jesus – as if JESUS the one who is giving it through us. By giving we are blessing The Lord and showing others what Jesus is like, presenting Him as He truly is..someone who cares.  His love and His kindness and compassion to them becomes evident. This may be enough to bring them a revelation of His love and His goodness, dispelling all darkness of previous thoughts of Him. Displacing any lies they had about Jesus with truth, or no thoughts at all toward Him. Presenting Him before them as evidence of His love. This action of love, many times, is what would cause people to truly want to surrender their lives to Him. So when you give and/or pray for others healing, remember you are spreading the truth of the kingdom of God. Jesus said, the kingdom of God is AT HAND. Here it is, it is a way of life, it is a way of love. They could accept or reject His love. For the humble and broken, it is a refreshing river in the desert or a very warm breeze on a very cool night – it is a cloak of gladness for the hurting, and it is food to the starving. Those hungry for love and to know "Jesus the person" who IS LOVE would be standing before them in you the giver. Then Jesus would shine inside of their hearts and take up residence in them. That is what a good king does, adds more real-estate to his kingdom. Help Jesus conquer inner lands and property from the enemy through your giving and relieve the suffering of others. Maybe consider this idea more frequently than giving to a wealthy church or ministry. Instead look for hearts and souls that will give Him themselves if only they be once touched by His love of compassion in this way. Maybe money or prayer for healing isn't the need, but for someone to be a friend. There are many lonely people out there. Jesus touched lives in so many ways. Lets be His hands and His feet. The word says to stir one another up in love. So my prayer is that you have now been stirred up in love. His love for others be birthed in you today. 

Shalom & Blessing.
