What is "Giving Tuesday"?
According to Google, it is a "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019 and every day."
Honestly, I have a problem with this definition.
Simply giving money does not "transform communities and the world."
It is where you give your money that makes the difference.
As Christians, we know that there is only one way to "transform communities and the world" and that is through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God.
Man cannot change the world.
Man cannot change his community.
In fact, he cannot even change himself.
Only God can.
And He does so through the preaching and teaching of His Word.
We, at Walking In Truth Ministry, are doing just that - getting the Word out to the multitudes through our podcasts and videos. Lives are being transformed as a result. To God be the glory!
As we all know, it takes money to get to the people.
And, on this "Giving Tuesday," we are asking you to consider giving a generous offering for this work that God is using for His glory.
How we thank all those who faithfully support this ministry on a monthly basis. We could never do what we do if not for your generosity and obedience to the Lord.
However, there are so many more to whom God is speaking and have yet to obey with your generous offering.
Allow me to share an experience that I had shortly after my husband Carl went to be with Jesus on August 29, 2018.
After being ill for an entire week, on a Saturday, I had a spiritual experience. I was taken into the spirit, and overheard a conversation of my husband Carl and the Apostle Paul.
No, I was not communicating with the dead. The Bible strictly condemns that.
I was taken into the spirit - as one who is having a vision (which is very Scriptural). I did not see anything, but I did hear conversation.
Based on Hebrews 12:2, where the Bible says that we are "compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses," I could hear my husband Carl speaking and strongly admonishing me to do the "greater works." (John 14:12)
With utmost urgency, Carl was telling me that I must do the "greater works." (John 14:12)
Then I heard a man speaking, and I knew (by the Spirit of the Lord) that it was the Apostle Paul.
He was speaking to the Body of Christ (the present-day Church) saying - "My work on earth is finished. There is no more that I can do on earth. I will never preach another sermon. I will never start another church. I will never write another epistle or letter to the churches. I have finished my course. It is done. I can never go back and redo or add to my completed work. My work is done...
But your work is not. You on earth still have time to do all that Jesus is commanding you to do. You must do all that you can for the Lord Jesus while you have the time and the means to do so. Once you leave this world and enter eternity, you can never go back to do what you missed."
What came across to me through the Apostle Paul's words was the utter finality of one's life after stepping into eternity and the urgency of doing all that you can while you have the time and the means to do so on this earth.
Once you enter eternity, you will not be able to go back to earth and do what you failed to do.
This spiritual encounter was life-changing for me.
And I pray that it is for you as well!
For that is God's true intention.
Not one of us is promised tomorrow.
The day my husband Carl went to be with Jesus was a normal and ordinary day for us as a family. No one anticipated that at 8:21 PM, Carl would be taken from us.
During this season of gift giving, I am asking you to do all that Jesus is telling you to do.
Don't put it off until tomorrow!
Obey the Lord today!
Once you leave this world, your giving is over! Your opportunity to advance the kingdom of God on this earth is over! Your opportunity to promote the preaching and teaching of God's Word to this lost and dying world is over!
Now is the time to be generous!
Now is the time to give!
Now is the time to obey!
Give to the work of the Lord!
