From: “The Serving Son”
Mat 6:31-32 "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
"Paraphrased in today's language, Jesus was saying:"
"The unbelievers spend their entire lifetime, from birth to the grave, primarily concerned with how to get their material needs met. They do not know the Father as Provider, neither are they concerned with the Father's kingdom. I am telling you not to be like them. Your Father knows that you have need of all the same things that they spend their lifetime trying to acquire. My promise to you is this; If you will devote your life, first and foremost, to finding out your place in the Father's kingdom and putting His will first in your life, the Father Himself will take personal responsibility for providing all of these things for you Himself. They will simply be a byproduct of serving Him in His kingdom. All these things shall be added unto you."
'As I was reading through this entire segment from Luke 15:1 through Luke 17:10 one day, the Holy Spirit asked me, "What would have been the only hope for the attitude of the Elder Son to be changed?" I could see from the Elder Son's statements that he had served in his Father's fields for many years, but his emphasis had been on "not transgressing the commandments." Since he did not even know that his Father was grieving over the loss of the Prodigal son, it was obvious that he never spent much time with his Father. His problem was; he didn't know his Father's heart at all."
"I responded to the Holy Spirit's question, "He would have had to come in from the fields and spend time in fellowship with his Father." In my mind's eye, I could see the Elder Son simply abandon all of his ritualistic "busy work" for awhile in order to come into his Father's house for the sole purpose of fellowship. I could see him pulling up a couple of chairs to the breakfast table and saying, "Father, we haven't just sat down and talked in a long time. Could we just spend some time together? I would like to find out what's on your heart and I would like to tell you what's on my heart."
"The Father opens the message and reads the petition from his Serving Son. He calls all the servants together and says, "My Serving Son has asked that I send him fresh supplies. I will not only supply every need that he listed here, but much more besides. He has not asked for enough. Gather some wagons together and begin loading them with provisions that are exceeding abundantly more than everything he asked me for. Also, gather some fresh camels and some fresh mules to take to him. Also, some of you servants pack your bags and prepare for a long journey. My Serving Son needs more help. All that I have is his. My Serving Son shall never lack ANY good thing."
"Dear Reader, this is true Kingdom Prosperity by "relationship and fellowship." The Serving Son is now "seeking first the kingdom of God" by giving his life to the "will of the Father" to seek and save the lost. The messenger that was sent back with the petition is representative of prayer to make our requests know to Him. The Father has sworn to provide every need abundantly while we remain His Serving Sons."
"This relationship and fellowship eliminates all formulas. What I mean is this: Can you imagine, in your wildest dreams, that the Father would respond to his Serving Son in this manner? "No, I will not send you the provisions you asked for because you did not first send me an offering."
"Ridiculous! The Father was not seeking a financial offering from the Serving Son. The Serving Son had already "sown" what the Father was after. The Serving Son was sowing his "life" to do the will of the Father by seeking and saving the lost."
"The reason that the Church falls for such nonsense is that we do not yet understand that we are truly sons and daughters of our Father. Also, for most, their hearts have not yet become single minded in serving the Father. For others, it is simply a matter of being delivered from all of the "formulas" they have been taught in order to believe the plain words of Jesus Christ:"
THE SERVING SON
From: “The Serving Son's Enemy”
The Serving Son had left his Father's house to seek and save the Prodigal. In the vision, I saw that there was an enemy who hated the Father and all of the Father's sons. This enemy had once tried to overthrow the Father and take possession of His goods. He had been defeated and no longer had any way to directly attack the Father.
The Father said, "I will send my Holy Spirit to be with the Serving Son forever. Anything that is needed in the way of power and anointings will be available to my Serving Son at all times. My Son shall never lack ANY good thing!"
"My Holy Spirit will also be my Serving Son's Counselor. He will only speak the truth. Whenever false reports come, my Serving Son will turn to this Counselor to find out the truth. He will never have to depend on false reports again."
"My Holy Spirit will provide the leadership for my Serving Son. My Serving Son will never have to depend on natural road signs [circumstances] again. My Holy Spirit will lead him by his spirit."
"All of the power to destroy sickness and poverty will be available through my Holy Spirit. No longer will the enemy be able to place disease upon my Serving Son. No longer will the enemy be able to intercept my provisions."
"All that I have is available to my Serving Son. My Holy Spirit will make manifest to him whatever he needs to complete his course with joy. He will be successful."
