Less today than we had yesterday.

The time has come to not enlarge our families. To NOT join the military. To divest of our property and to give to God's work and care for the poor.

The time will soon be here when people will wish that they had given to the Lord's work sooner. Their money will testify against their soul.

"It is too late now to cling to worldly treasures. Soon unnecessary houses and lands will be of no benefit to anyone, for the curse of God will rest more and more heavily upon the earth. The call comes, "Sell that ye have, and give alms" [Luke 12:33]. This message should be faithfully borne--urged home to the hearts of the people--that God's own property may be returned to Him in offerings to advance His work in the world."--16MR 348 (1901).


"Unless this church shall arouse from their lethargy and shake off the spirit of the world, they will mourn when, too late, they find their opportunities and privileges lost, lost forever. The Lord sometimes tests His people with prosperity in temporal things. But He intends that they shall make a right use of His gifts. Their property, their time, their strength, and their opportunities are all of God. For all these blessings they must account to the Giver. While want and destitution are seen among our brethren, and we withhold relief from them when our own necessities are supplied, we neglect a plain duty revealed in the word of God. He gives to us liberally that we may give to others. It is beneficence that overcomes selfishness and ennobles and purifies the soul. Some abuse the talents given them of God; they close their eyes that they may not see the necessities of His cause and turn away their ears that they may not hear His voice showing them their duty to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Some who profess to be children of God seem anxious to invest their means in the world lest it shall return to the Giver in gifts and offerings. They forget their divine mission, and if they continue to follow the dictates of their selfish hearts, and expend precious time and means to gratify their pride, God will send reverses, and they will feel pinching want because of their ingratitude. He will entrust His talents to more faithful stewards, who will acknowledge His claims upon them." {4T 619.2}

When I sell my house and property how should I invest the funds?

How about in the Great Controversy Project?

I never thought EGW meant to sell the home you are living in, just the extra properties. What do you think?

When we flee from the cities, will we own a city and country homes? When we flee from the little towns to the mountains what will we own? Should we live in a $300,000 estate or a $79,000 (or less) modest home?

It is time to be putting our houses in order.

& MM what should you be spending money on?

Feed the hungry
clothe the naked
Support orphanages
share 3 angels' literature like Autumn Leaves

What else do you think would be appropriate for God's stewards at this time when the rapid final events are going to begin any day?

Thankfully, We already live in the country

I know several people who quit their jobs, sold everything, gave to missions, and preached the word on the road. They lived in tents, homeless shelters, and with friends. This happened in 1983.

What does someone crying wolf in 1983 have to do with the wolf that is at the door in 2013?

Just because Adam didn't live in the endtime, that does not mean that we don't live in the endtime now.

There were allot of people that used your logic to convince themselves to stay out of Noah's ark.

But MM you can skirt around the evidence all you want, but it won't impress you to change your attitude or mend your ways unless the Holy Spirit impresses your heart that it is true.

Blessings,

His Child, I will sell our house and property when Jesus makes it clear it is time to do so. I assume you have already sold your house and property.

Regarding my house and property.

We bought a country house (with a big mortgage in 2003 +/-) so the girls could be in the country and we could raise our food etc. Took my 401K out in cash and invested it. Over night it that $ was blessed 5 fold. Retired to study Daniel and Revelation. Didn't understand the investment world well and over night lost it $.

No money no job, Wife left and took kids.

thought I must have misunderstood the Lord's instructions to study and work in His vineyard. went back to work.

Wife fell and had to go to Nursing Home for rehab. She lost her place & came home. While working full time, studying late into the night and caring for her and kids, boss said I was sleeping at work. got fired. She left again.

Gave 7 of 10 neighbors copies of my book "Daniel's Apocalyptic Code Revealed." Ran out of books or they were not home and never got back to those 3 families.

Lost the house. The fellow that bought it put me out on the street. I refused to go. No money no place to go & no place to put my stuff. He let me stay there 6-weeks and agreed to sell the place back to me. But still had no money.

So I took it to God in prayer. And He provided a buyer for the house. I sold. Gave the man his money and had money to move and start over. By loosing the house, I ended up better off than if I had just sold it to begin with.

Then my mom broke her hip Christmas Day 2010 and I moved in with her for a while. And wrote the book "Echoes of Doomsday." In it, I followed the prophecies of Daniel and warned of Pending disasters and end time events. Published it April 27, 2011 at 12 noon. At 6 PM that very day a mega tornado took out the house that I had lost and been forced to leave weeping and crying. It had been remodeled but sat empty.

The 7 neighbors I had given books to had minor to moderate damage. the 3 I skipped had their housed totally destroyed. You cannot pick and choose who to give the gospel to. The ones I missed were the ones who might have died in that disaster.

At the right time God moved us from the danger zone. And He blessed us through it all.

On the other hand, my pastor's house was a few doors down on a different street. I had given him my book "The Last Church Meets the Obama-Nation." A week of 2 before the tornado, I asked if he had read the book yet? He replied that he had not but would get to it. His tone was that Christ might come first.

The morning after the tornado, his house looked untouched. But there was not a tree standing in what had been the forest in his front yard. So there was this stately house with destruction on all 4 sides. But when you went around to the back of his house, the back wall was gone and the inside was gutted with all the rafters and floor twisted. So from the front there was this stately house amid the ruins, but when you looked a little closer, the inside was a mess. What a parable.

I currently rent a modest home for a couple hundred a month a few blocks from where the tornado had devastated my neighborhood. At a moment's notice, I can walk away from it.

But if you assume that when you see things unfold as you think they will come about and then you hope to find a buyer when everyone is trying to sell, you may wait too long. A brother at church has been following my study and is trying to sell his place. In the past year, he has had allot of lookers, but has not sold it yet.

And when the US economy collapses and the Mark of the Beast is linked to buying and selling, it will be too late to put anything else in the Lord's work. The sleeping saints will awake too late to their situation as God sees it.

In some places in the U.S. $300,000 would get you a run-down older home much in need of fixing up and $79,000 would not get you a one-room effeciancy.
