TO PROSPER in These Last Days!
by Oral Roberts
One night not long ago, I was sound asleep at 4 a.m. when it seemed like someone pulled me upright. And the Lord began to speak to me again. It took me by surprise, because I thought the vision He had given me a few weeks before was complete.
God said, “Now that I have given you the wake-up call about the Second Coming of My Son, Jesus Christ, I want to talk to you about two things that must take place that are not taking place now.
“One is about My people being in debt. Second, I want to talk about what I can do for them financially, because without money, nations cannot be reached with the Gospel.”
God said, “Something is happening in America concerning credit cards, and it’s destroying people financially. Debt has accumulated so much until a burden of tremendous proportions has come upon their minds and is robbing them of seeing My glory. They no longer think about the Second Coming of Christ. Their main thought is, How can I get through this month...or this week...or even this day?”
God continued, “Most of My people are not tithing. Tithing can put them in a new position where they can not only support My work and help send the Gospel to all nations to prepare people for the Second Coming of Christ, but I can do something for them money-wise that they’ve never had in their lives.
“There are three things that I want you to tell the people about tithing as a wake-up call:
‘I will open the windows
of heaven for you.’
of heaven for you.’
“The world’s system doesn’t own the money. I own the money,” the Lord said. “And money comes out of the earth. It doesn’t come out of heaven.
“What I’m talking about in pouring out the blessing that you cannot contain [Malachi 3:10] is in ideas, concepts, and insights.
“There’s nothing that has been done or created except by an idea. I can open the windows of heaven when you bring Me your tithes and your offerings. I want you to know that tithing is not about money. It represents My ownership. It represents your recognition that I own everything...that you don’t belong to yourself; you belong to Me.”
‘I will rebuke the devourer
for your sake. I will protect your assets.’
for your sake. I will protect your assets.’
God said for me to tell you: “I can protect your assets [when you tithe]. I can keep the devourer—the devil—from coming into your financial life and stealing your money or your financial opportunity, or the financial idea that I give you. I will protect that as an asset.”
‘I will give you favor.’
God says that when you bring tithes and offerings to Him, He can give you favor.
When we have God’s favor and we’re delivered from debt...when we’re receiving His protection for our assets and having ideas and concepts and insights coming constantly to our minds...then we can support ourselves and have money to sustain the Church. Then Matthew 24:14 KJV can be fulfilled: This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
