Remain faithful in your walk no matter what you go through with others. Keep your heart right and live righteously , and I will bless your efforts. Everyone will pay the price for how they ministered to one another, whether it be out of a heart of love for the brethren or whether is was from a heart of seeking after gain. You lose and pay for your mistakes when you seek after worldly gain by using the brethren to make a profit.

Why do you follow after the multitudes who lust after riches, and at the same time use My word and the gifts I've given you as the tools in which you wish to profit by? I tell you this day that if you don't repent of using My people for your own gain that you will pay for your mistakes and greatly will you pay for from which you sow you will reap the fruit of.

This is the day that I am putting before you a choice to make. Will you continue in your dishonesty or will you repent and allow Me to prosper you? Don't you believe that My will for your life is prosperity and health? Then why do you strive to get ahead using worldly measures? Examine your heart whether you want to trust Me completely and be completely honest in what you are doing, or do you feel that you have to succeed on your own. For the error of your ways will find you out and you will lose in the long run.

I am talking about your finances this day. Are you in debt because you were careless in your measures of handling want? Cast all your cares upon Me for I desire to care for you. I want to take you from glory to glory if you will draw near and keep your eyes upon Me. Turn from mammon to Me once again. Yes, return to your first love, and I will bless you and those of your household. Yes, this is the day of repentance. This is the day to return........to check your heart, your motives and your love for one another. For without love you will not prosper in anything that you do.

Join together and seek My truth. Worship Me in the spirit of holiness, and I will bless you. Pay off your debt to one another. Be honest and dependable. Keep your word for it is better to say nothing than to say and not do. Do not allow the little foxes to spoil the vine. Stay focused on the basics of living a good life by watching your character. Do not be like the world, but follow Me for this is the day of repentance.
