COMPASSION IN ACTION!

Lord God, In Jesus Name,

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14

Lord God, In Jesus' Name, I pray that all who read these words spoken through me that they will be Divinely blessed, increased, and will be filled with Your never ending Living Waters. I praise Your Holy Name, Amen.

The Spirit of the Lord directed me to study Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 10. As I listened I was given the message below. May it fill your heart with His love, direction and comfort. May the Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding of our Father God in the name of Jesus bestow on you all that His teachings were made to give.

With each step that I take Following Jesus, may I never forget to reach back and me with the Right Heart, help another. In Jesus's Name, Amen.

Ecclesiastes 4:10

NIV- “If one falls down, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”

RKJV- “For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls,

For he has no one to help him up.”

AMP- “For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.
But woe to him who is alone when
he falls and has not another to lift him up!”

The Lord created us to live in Spiritual and natural community and engage in caring relationships with one another. If your friend is in natural need, and if you can help—With the Right Heart DO SO! LET the LORD work through you in a powerful and effective Way! Amen!

The Lord Will Bless the helper (you) abundantly Whose motives are the same as His are! I don't want to mislead you into thinking that there is a list of 'things to do to get Blessed by God." That is a lie from satan.

Some believe that they can go about doing 'good works' for God that God never told them to do, and keep a list in their head to rattle off with pride. Those Works will not make it through God's Refiners Fire. These people choose the 'things and ways' to help others- things to sacrifice that are going to be rejected by God because they are of the flesh, they are not worthy to give to God.

Or, the person is trying to give to God what already Belongs to God as in the account of Cain and Abel.

There is no such Truth for doing with wrong motives, the wrong heart- And think that your 'works' will be pleaseing to the Father. With the Right Heart, a Heart that is living to please God through obedience and being teachable, one that has His Spirit living within it and has been changed Will be of great use to God.

Does this happen overnight?

Yes for some and no for others.

Either way, the Journey to re-learning who the new you is, will be done one day at a time, diligently, with faith and trust with each day and each step. How bad do you want to be changed?

By willingly giving help in whatever way help is needed, you Will receive help when you are in need. You are putting your faith and trust in the Storehouse of God!

There are people that you know of in need of help right now—Must they have to Come and Ask you for this help? Give them a call and let them know that you are coming in the Name of Jesus to give them the help they are in need of.

Don’t worry about how much you have, or how your helping them will lessen what you have-God Will restore to you as He is Using you to help the one in need. (Cast your Bread into the Waters), And Yes, most times those that you help will not be able to pay you back right away—that should not be your main concern.

Lord God, thank You Jesus!

God said give mercy, grace And compassion to all that you know need it—it will be returned to you when you NEED it! Amen.

Don’t be selfish and self-centered, only concerned with only your life. That way of thinking and living will not be rewarded.

We are Not to hoard our blessings, gifts, and anointings, or our time.

We are to give willingly and freely the things that God has given us. All that you have was Given to you from the Hand of God.

Fear Will keep you from your blessings!

If you cannot give physical help-Then Pray in the name of Jesus, for God to step into that friend’s situation and Turn It Around! To step into the Center of the issue and take it over—to turn around all bad, evil works into His Good for your friend! AMEN!

God gives us an example of the outcome of this truth as described in Ecclesiastes 4:10, which gives us a picture of someone who has "fallen and can't get up."

Should any of us falter from our faith, or from following The Way or have unexpected needs, a friend can come along to lend a hand. But when a person lives not with God, or is still struggling with being fully dependent on Jesus- they will be too "independent" to need help or to help anybody else, he or she quickly discovers no one is there when trouble comes.

As you help others, that His Spirit leads you to help without fears or hesitation, then your path will be made smooth and straight. The weapons that are formed against you, the fiery darts that satan throws at you will be extinguished before you even saw a glimpse of them coming! Amen!

He protects us from what we did not EVEN know was sent to take us out! Think about that and Give our Father God some GOOD Praise!!! AMEN!

My friends, We need one another. Our LORD Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves (see Matthew 19:19).

Love for one another is not some shallow ‘sound good’ word—or a passive feeling, but an efficient, and effective example of God’s Love that lives in us and Works through us. Glory be to God!

Do not do for others and give to others always expecting a return. That means, don't start out talking about "Well what do i get -- well what about me?

Allow the Lord God to pour out of you what He has put into your heart. The mouth speaks what the heart loves!

We are to be a response to a need expressed, through us as "compassion in action."

Think about this, Where would you be-what would your life look like today if no one had come to help you? I HOPE that you know you have not come this far by your own power.

Pray for your friends, and help your friends in any natural And Spiritual Way that they are in need of; and when you need prayer, and natural help, God Will provide it all to you through those servants who completely obey Him when He sends them to help! Lord Jesus, I just Got To Praise YOU! Lord thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU!

I am reminded that the Lord has been speaking to me about the season that we are within. A season that Will require us to be filled with integrity and to be good stewards. The Lord continued to speak to me that He is bringing us into a time when He Will reveal to us all areas in our lives where we are wasting our time, our money, our gifts, talents, efforts and abilities. He Will show those of us that are willing, and teachable how to be efficient stewards of what He has provided to us and what we have been given to do. The Work of The Lord!.

Psalm 1:1-3

BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.

2But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.

3And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].

"Find a needy person and enrich him - a lonely person and include him - a misunderstood person and affirm him - an undiscovered person and develop him - a failing person and restore him. .."

Live in such a way that those who know you but don't know God will come to know God because they know you. -Unknown
