The
Threshing Floor for Mammon
shared
by Suzin McNeill
The time is come, the day
draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice,
nor the seller mourn:
for wrath is
upon all the multitude thereof.
Ezekiel 7:12
They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of
their
visitation
they
shall perish.
Jeremiah 51:18
It is time for Thee, LORD, to work:
for they have made void thy law.
Ecclesiastes
8
5) Whoso keepeth the
commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise
man's heart discerneth both time and
judgment.
WORD
OF THE LORD
Why
would you not chasten yourselves and put far from you the voices of
thy selling and thy merchandising of My name? Is there
no honor among
you? Is their none who will not sell the holy ways and words of thy
GOD? Where are those who build up walls between My people and
say that I said build up houses unto thine own names? When man is
in honor, I am not, says The LORD. Is it a light thing to
sell
within your temples, and say that I said, sell? Is this not another gospel? My
son JESUS, drove out the money changers with both My fury and
indignation. Shall I not visit you and dry up thy streams and the bounty
of thy own selling? You say you sell to build for Me,
yet you build to
sell for thee. Is this a light
thing to be passed over and
not considered?
Shall I turn away and wink at such that you do in My name?
Did My son JESUS
turn away the money changers? Who shall walk in the ways of My son who
spoke forth My words unto an evil generation. Behold, I am against
thee, O thou, most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is
come, the time that I will visit
thee, for you have made temples unto your own names and they
stand as the market place of your own enterprises. You sell My
truths and pervert my name, saying I shall bless you if you buy. It is
written:
buy the truth and sell it not yet you sell and merchandise among My
people when I said, freely you have received, freely give.
You show
disrespect to those who do not buy, and partner with those with
purchasing power. Where are the lowly? Where are your works unto the
poor not trumpeted? Have you not received the very gift of salvation
freely? What shall you give unto Me for this? Shall My anointing now be
sold and how shall I weigh it? It is measured and weighed upon those
who have not and freely give of their lives unto
Me by the doing of My will. The changes are before you and your streams
and rivers shall dry up from the dry bones within them. Oh that My
pastors and shepherds and prophets and teachers would come
unto Me in faith and sell not. There are those who stand proudly upon
the merchandise of their own marketing saying and equating money with
holiness. How far from Me they have wandered.
Have you not read,
and is it not written:
Matthew
10
6
But
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye
go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8) Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely
ye have received, freely give.
9)
Provide neither gold, nor
silver,
nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip
for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves:
for the workman is worthy of his meat.
And if the meat
of My Son JESUS, is to do My will then should you not also walk
the steps of faith
trusting
Me? My people I set before you many questions and give warning to
come untoMe in repentance, for I have set you as ministers to be first
servant unto My will and I have set you as ministers to freely give.
Come unto My table and eat. Draw nigh unto me and chasten yourselves
for what shall you say when these questions are testaments before you
announcing your works? I say your works do testify against you and the
cries of the poor have come unto My ears and I shall not turn away from
you until you have paid all that you owe unto Me in recompense. Who
shall be paid and to whom shall I give, but to those found with
nameless names hidden in My will, and to those who abuse not My power
in the gospel. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
your temples are the threshing floor for mammon, and it is time
to
thresh
yet a little while, endure, repent, and the time of harvest
shall come.
References
Jeremiah 50
31) Behold, I am against thee, O thou most
proud, saith
the
Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come,
the time
that I will visit
thee.
A wise man's
heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Jeremiah
50
44) Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of
Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them
suddenly run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may
appoint over her? Who is like Me, and who will appoint me the
time? Is their one shepherd that will stand before Me with a pure
heart and hands cleansed from the stench of the spirit of
mammon?
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I
may make the gospel of Christ without charge,that I abuse not
my power in the gospel.
Ecclesiastes
7
17) Be not over much wicked, neither be thou
foolish:
why shouldest thou die before thy time?
A wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment, therefore repent...
