Rapture 68
The wealth is laid up for us
March 10, 2007
Joel Akin
The birth is built up day by day. And each day the nurse takes the pulse of the heart. Lets say the pulse of the heart is the wheat. And the wheat is the pulse. In old days the pulse was part of the nature of people and their daily grind. They went out and sowed their seed of wheat into the ground. And then they kept away animals night and day who would trample out the seed or birds which would spirit it away. And the animals desired to eat the grass before it became food for the people.
But then the time of harvesting arrived and people came and they took the scythe and cut the cords of wheat. And the people rejoiced for they had bread for the table.
In some ways this is like the coming rapture. The wheat is the seed and the seed is the harvest. The child is made up of the heads of people. They are cut down or totaled so they might become part of the grind. The only thing is the grind is not meant to be of pain and toil. It is meant to be of joy and laughter. People went into harvest with great joy. For the Lord was coming. And that meant the master of the house. There are few stories like the harvest time of Boaz and his home. They provided for a relative Naomi and for her daughter in law Ruth. From their lineage and from this harvest their came forth a seed which came to us of David, King of Israel. And from his line came forth the new seed of Jesus King of Kings.
We are part of the harvest and that is part of the seed. And the seed is the new seed which Jesus sent so that man might begin to harvest the church. They did and the church was born. And the church became established upon the earth. It wasn't a failure that the church was made up of parts. It was a success. We see the church as failure but in reality the seed was made up of one person. Jesus. And he was Lord. It is true that not all parts were of the Holy Spirit. As in some parts did not want the fruit and they were like seed that was cast off. But God found ways of putting people into those churches to pray. And prayer is like fruit and fruit helped keep alive the church.
The church grew and multiplied and it came to a place where God wanted the church to become a bride. And the bride was the one part of the church that needed to be delivered. And it came time for her to be with child. And that child was of life. For the Lord said "She is old and she is of age" and old doesn't mean like Sarah or Sarai but of life. For she had grown to maturity and was wise in the ways of scripture. And she had come forth and grown and become wise. And God said to her "Let her be given a child" and the child was born. And the child grew and grew and grew and was to be delivered.
But the Lord saw that the people did not want a child. They came to the alter and cried out "Let the rapture be delayed" but they did not understand that the rapture was of the deliverance. For the dead in Christ had to be raised but the living were still dead. They did not understand that they had to rise up in life and in hope. They had to come to a place where they saw themselves as part of a family. And that family was meant to be of God.
God saw the church as a bride and it was meant to be of Solomon and of love. It was meant to be of beauty and of the rose. It was meant to be of joy and of life. And it was meant to be of things not seen and that was of hope and of faith. And it was meant to be of life and life was meant to grow. Yet there were those who wanted the daily grind to continue without the rapture. They did not understand it was a catching. A time when the child would pop out and the harvest or receiving of the new seed was at hand. It was a time when God returned and when all things happened at once. There were cigars passed out and people danced in the street. And people shouted and glorified the Lord. It was a time when there was life and it was of the harvest.
For the baby was the rapture. The rapture was the child. The child was the deliverance. The child was the part caught up and the mother was carried up with her as one who was watched over and protected by Christ.
Paul saw it and explained it. He saw it as the time of trouble. He saw the bride did not understand the coming days would be difficult. He saw it as a time of trouble when the growth took place. But it wasn't meant to scatter the shepherds. It wasn't meant to tear the church. It was meant to be a time of life. It was meant to be a time of rejoicing. It was meant to be heard by the entire church and not by those who were of the world.
The world represented those that were to be carried along for the ride. They were those who had no time to think and no time to believe. They were those who still had not heard. They represented those who were busy and could not find time to take place in the harvest. They were those who did their job and woke up to discover that the rapture or deliverance of the church was at hand. They gave and they helped but they were not prepared. Most were not. Most were willing to let things be and learn from men and grow and mature in their own self.
But the Lord wanted me to know that I am part of this. I am like the fathers hand and I am here to help you who read this see. And that is to help you comprehend that there is a new seed about to be created. A new seed is a life. It is a new song. It is a new church at least in the sense of a new type of child.
It is a way of life that is based on new things. The old must vanish away so that all things might become new. The old ways will not satisfy the child. The child will want it fresh each day and that means they will search for truth and it must be simple. They must search and search until someone tells them straight out what is needed. And that is the key.
And those who come along with the law are those who want to try to control. They are those who want to exploit. They are those who want to deliver. And they are those who want to have the child for their own. She won't budge until she is brought forth in ways that are not of men or of evil. She is a church who will realize that she is of God. And that means that she is the one who gives herself to the heart of the father. The one who is not afraid to wash the feet of Christ with tears. The one who is not afraid to help in ways that are of God.
She is to be delivered and she is meant to help in the harvest. Some would say how can a child be born and become a nation? For many of those who will join will be of sickness and of disease. And of suffering. They will call for a man to understand and make waves. And they will strike a deal to help in the harvest. And they will trade the old ways for the new ways. And it will be given to those who see. For those who follow ideas or concepts that are not of God will find they have little at the end. And they must turn away from things and focus on one thing. Prayer. Prayer will change things. People will find when they pray opportunities of harvest rise up. It is not that most won't be bored. But at least if they pray and seek they will find God guides them. God knows people. He knows they will spend an hour with God and then go out and do things. That is His way and His desire. But as they grow in God they will begin to change and that change is the process of growth. And growth is when a child is being developed.
That child is me and it is meant to be you. We are the new seed and it is this change that is meant to help us grow. For God wants men to heed and when they do they will be transformed from the old to the new. And that will not make sense to those who have tried prayer and failed. Some will wonder if its about tongues. It is but only when there is nothing else to say. Tongues are there for help in time of trouble. They are there for men to hear it as a sign. It is a fruit but not the only fruit. It is a powerful fruit and not to be ignored or cut off from the body.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is not meant to cause problems. It is not meant to be cut off but remember the body is the body of Christ. And Christ is not cut off from himself. He is cut off by us but not by men. So I write it with help from the Holy Spirit so I stay within bounds.
Part of the growth is meant to be of the child. Yet the mother and her part in this story is also to develop. Sometimes the mother doesn't have the resources and prays for them so she can go from good to better. And better is meant to be of the Lord who watches over things. And that better is the tool which is needed. In some cases the tool is money. Having it or wanting it for use is not evil. Evil is when sin is on the throne. Then he makes it love and that becomes our priority.
In some ways it is essential for the church to know that trying to find ways to earn are not evil. In many ways they are wise. It is not the desire of God they be held in the church but they are often make part of the nature by tithe. And again that is not evil to the church.
Where tools come in is the essential point of this story. God is building up a name and that is His name on earth. He desires the tool to be of wealth. And wealth is being laid up for the righteous. And that is part of the name of this story that I am meant to help by praying. And praying isn't meant to be of worry warts growing upon seeds but faith maturing upon faith seed.
In a way that faith seed is a word that hinders many. Faith seed is the term faith people came up with. It is based on scripture but like Gay or Sex or other words that make us flinch they are not evil words but life words. Gay doesn't have to mean evil and Sex doesn't have to mean intercourse. It can mean the identification of chicks as in hens and roosters. And sometimes sexing a chick is hard to do.
Now if those words offend then faith and seed offend. And so do other phrases that are available to a man who is trying to find a way to express the wealth which is being laid up for the righteous. As hard as it is to understand when a nation turns away from God their wealth is laid up. It goes to people who deserve it or not. They lay it up and it goes on and on and on. And it doesn't get used or if it does it doesn't get used properly.
An illustration can best be described as people who lay up wealth in banks. They put it into a bank and the bank holds it for them. They take the money and hold it and make more and hold it and make more until the bank owns the rights to the money. The money then becomes the wealth of the bank and the bank uses it as they see fit.
Now when a person takes out a few hundred million and gives it to another bank it does so by check. Check is the measure of wealth and it is based on paper. It does make sense but it doesn't make it easy. For wealth then becomes the measure of paper and the trail has to be carefully laid. Otherwise the wealth is stripped away by time and by people and by stocks or bonds. Stocks and bonds really does mean people bound by things. And they were the stocks and locks which kept people held to the price of the commodity or the wealth which men chose to set up.
They didn't know that wealth was legally transferred to men when the wealth was ignored. As in after a hundred years the wealth was turned over to the state and the state took possession of the things left. And believe it or not that was in the millions. At least at first. And now it is is the trillions. And that money will be left untouched because God will return with a list of people who are not getting their money. And it will go into an account for those who have no money.
Now that does sound foolish but imagine God has the list because there were those who explained how it was done. That is still a secret but suppose I was eventually given this knowledge. I know it sounds strange but God has prepared me for the return but not fully. There are things I must learn about using wealth. I still don't have enough training and that is what must come. I must learn to spend it but not wisely as men see it and that usually means buying up land. Land is of God and He can make more.
Being wise means buying up a business that is being used wisely. So when it is in profit there must be a reason the person is quitting. And that requires people who know how to see it and know how to use it. And that requires God to help because I am not a business man. At least not yet.
And so God is going to have to retrain me to help because if there is wealth then it must be trained. And that means God is going to change the nature of wealth. And that again is going to be strange. I will explain what true wealth is and how to obtain it. Its not faith and seed but based on two parts of life. One is sin and the other is help. Help is what God gives us and sin is what stole our wealth.
So remember the thief in scripture? That is the thief at the wedding feast. The thief is sin and people will see wealth beyond understanding and want it. And that is the wealth laid up for the righteous. And not for the evil in heart.
Now I'm a man who struggles because I've never played with wealth. Imagine having it all. What do you do? I haven't a clue as yet but God wants me to understand that I am in the big leagues. And if this story moves it will move because I write the history of wealth.
Now I struggle with that because I don't know money but perhaps that is why it should be written.
Now the history of wealth isn't what we think. It is a story that would take a thousand pages or probably a hundred and twenty chapters. So if I write it perhaps there is someone who can help me because I would write it from a spiritual perspective. Which means I don't normally search out human wealth. And if that is what people want they need to know I'll write it from Gods perspective. And earth was just one small part of its history. So though there may be men who see truth in it remember there are those who will see understanding. So if you read this pray God will open a way for me to write it because I have other things that should be done as well. And a book like that would probably be a four to six month journey. And that would bring us closer to the coming of the Lord. And yes, he really wants to be there for the deliverance of the child. And that means He is coming to help us grow and mature.
Now will he be available for interviews? That depends on who wants to see him. If its Larry King God would say "Don't wait for death to issue an invitation." In other words God wants to be interviewed by Larry King. And if that is the strangest thing in the world to think about then think about it.
It is probably a strange world we will live in. Having an interview with God would require a long time because it would go on for hours. And it would have to be broken up into segments. And Larry would have to be healed while being interviewed just by being with the Lord. It would happen and it would be a change. And it would be cool. And that is part of history. That God will bring those things to pass. And they will happen and happen within a few years.
So don't fret. God will deliver and set free and make things happen. And it will be fun and glorious.
In the last days there will be a healing. Land will be restored to people. Parks will be opened and there will be a way of having things again. People took it away and people sometimes strive so hard they want it their way. They fear for the world and wonder if people will go nuts. Sometimes its okay to have people who just want to build. Sometimes they are dreamers and that is why some homes in this world are so strange. We treasure them now but when they are being built they are strange.
Let people be people. Make homes for them and let them be beautiful. Be unique and diverse. Make change after change in ideas so things always have a similarity to unique. People want change and they want difference. And they want to have places that live. And that means flow from room to room.
Remember the holiday is coming. God is going to deliver. And deliver gifts to those who expect His return. And if there are few who want it He will give gifts to those who do. And that could be a million people who are blessed. And if they are rich with the gifts of God then who is to complain? They had a chance and still do. Its just that some want God to come back and some want Him back more then life. And that is because God is cool. And cool isn't lukewarm as some thing. It is warm and heat that are nice in winter. Rooms are lukewarm and we don't spit that out. Its probably lukewarm beer we spit out. And that is the way life is.
