Vision of Generosity

See with generous eyes!

Deuteronomy 15:7-11 Amplified said way back then and even now…. “ If there is among you a poor man, one of your kinsmen in any of the towns of your land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not harden your [minds and] hearts or close your hands to your poor brother;  But you shall open your hands wide to him and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. Beware lest there be a base thought in your [minds and] hearts, and you say, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry to the Lord against you, and it be sin in you.  You shall give to him freely without begrudging it; because of this the Lord will bless you in all your work and in all you undertake.  For the poor will never cease out of the land; therefore I command you, you shall open wide your hands to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land.

Nehemiah 8:10 Living Bible says, “ It is a time to celebrate with a hearty meal and to send presents to those in need, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. You must not be dejected and sad!”


Not a question of “when” but of “will”….It is God’s will. Is it in your will? So when will you adopt this attitude of such love? Revival awaits in the places of fellowship. He had a hold of the wisdom piece that broke his heart unto wanting something greater. It caused him to rise up. It caused him to get real. It caused him to speak truth. It caused him to spread joy and not disease. It caused him to rally the troops unto greater things.


In Esther 9:19-22 it says (with no mention of God throughout though is full of the  Spirit of God)  And so it is that the Jews in the unwalled villages throughout Israel to this day have an annual celebration on the second day when they rejoice and send gifts to each other. Mordecai wrote a history of all these events and sent letters to the Jews near and far, throughout all the king’s provinces, encouraging them to declare an annual holiday on the last two days of the month, to celebrate with feasting, gladness, and the giving of gifts these historic days when the Jews were saved from their enemies, when their sorrow was turned to gladness and their mourning into happiness.

Joy is essential from the start. In order to flow in it one must enter in. Let it be you and never leave without it!

The fear of God falling on a nation. Glory! The fear of God falling on individuals unto change that makes the difference. The fear of God causing those to truly fear God. The fear of God that caused truthful understanding to come of a righteous and holy generosity that superseded all else….the kind that gave of the spirit, the kind that speaks life, that gives honor, exudes blessing, stirs joy, brings about rejoicing, creator of gladness and mirth! How, I say, can a gift such a gift of love of this magnitude not be received?


Psalm 144:11-15 Amplified says in a prayer, “Rescue me and deliver me out of the power of [hostile] alien [tribes] whose mouths speak deceit and whose right hands are right hands [raised in taking] fraudulent oaths. When our sons shall be as plants grown large in their youth and our daughters as sculptured corner pillars hewn like those of a palace;  When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, and our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our pastures;  When our oxen are well loaded; when there is no invasion [of hostile armies] and no going forth [against besiegers—when there is no murder or manslaughter] and no outcry in our streets;  Happy and blessed are the people who are in such a case; yes, happy (blessed, fortunate, prosperous, to be envied) are the people whose God is the Lord! “

Proverbs 11:25 says, “The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.” Bring it in the river of the Spirit!

Proverbs 22:9-10 says, “He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.”….both spiritually and physically.

 Isaiah 32: 7-8 says…”Also the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaks justice but the generous man devises generous things and by generosity he shall stand.” Let us put this plan together.

Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made even His eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse.”

You cannot look about and have excuse to not have a heart of generosity should the heart that is given is also being flooded with insight as Ephesians 1:17 says even now. This is the understanding of the heart.

Generosity is about the profit of many (1 Corinthians 10:33) that they may be saved!
It was told to me...God is searching for these gainfully gifted with a forward fire fueled with worship to really render my love for the many!

…..with a vision of generosity!
