I Samuel 2:8

"People Business"

"He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he hath set the world upon them."  The Lord Jesus Christ was and is "in" the most valuable and precious business of all ... "People Business."

Guess what?  If we belong to Jesus Christ, "we" are entrepeneurs! It is a spiritual "gene" of Passion passed down through the Spirit from Father to child.  It's all about souls, creation, the dust of the earth molded into man ... People Business!

"But it is God who judges: He brings one down, 

he exalts another."  (Psalm 75:7) 

"Forgiven" is the word for People Business.  The woman taken in adultery in John 8:3 was brought to Jesus by the Scribes and Pharisees, and they informed Jesus that according to the law of Moses, she should be stoned; they asked Jesus, "What sayest thou?"  They were attempting to trap and accuse Jesus.  But, Jesus ignored them and with His finger wrote on the ground.  When they continued asking, Jesus said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."  Again, Jesus stooped and wrote on the ground.  As they watched, they were convicted by their own conscience and they all left one by one.  Jesus asked the woman if any man was condemning her, and she said none, Lord.  He said, "Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more."  

"But he giveth more grace.  Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble."  (James 4:6)  The Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save the lost; He is not willing that any should be lost or perish.  Those whom the world condemns have a second chance if they humble themselves before the Lord; the Lord Jesus Christ bought their Pardon with His own blood.  Prison bars can't hold them; the weight of sin and shame can't destroy them; the guilt of their own souls can't bury them, for the Lord Jesus Christ came to set all mankind free from sin, sickness, disease, temptation and evil!

"But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks."  (Psalm 107:41)  What do you need?  The people of Jesus Christ are the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.  We say, even as Peter said , "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."  (Acts 3:6)  We have seen miracles, signs and wonders from the mighty hands of God manifested through the hands of His anointed ones, His Church. 

The Church of Almighty God is recognizing its place in the world; every one a minister; every home a chapel; every minister's hand an anointed extension of God's hand in the earth.  We are ever learning, moving, growing, praying, and speaking the Word in power and authority in the Name of Jesus, by the Word of Jesus, and the Blood of Jesus!  Bottom line?  Rise up and walk!  Be healed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!  "Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus." 

If you are reading this and you have illness of any kind; I rebuke spirits of iniquity that would come against your mind, heart, soul, and body.  I curse cancers to the roots, and all manner of diseases and infirmities; rise up and be whole!  I rebuke evil spirits that seek to possess and control any part of your spirit, soul or body!  Rise up and walk in newness of life by the power, Name, Word, and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! 

It's all about "People Business!"
