VISION: The Passage Of Money
18TH SEPTEMBER 2006
I saw money that was passing through a pipeline, suddenly stop right there in it’s tracks. It was like the machinery that was empowering the passage of money was suddenly switched off. The stopping sound was like that of a huge truck that had slammed down on it’s hydraulic brakes.
The money that was on it’s way somewhere, stopped in it’s track it could not move forward.
This money was now cursed. A large Bill Board appeared over the Pipeline. This money was labeled: ILL GOTTEN GAINS.
Once the name changed and this money was labeled, the money (currency notes) moved, it went where the money-lovers, these worshippers and servants of mammon, these Mammonites, had not wanted the money to go.
Here is the passage of the money and the route it took:
I saw a semi-dark by-lane and beside it was a single rail track. Upon that track was a train moving south, stacked with money. Within, and outside, on both sides and on the roof and under the belly of the train, were signs writ large in white lettering.
LITIGATION LITIGATION LITIGATION.
Then I saw a Coach drawn by 3 black horses, inside the Coach was thick desolate darkness.
The Coach was loaded with the money. On the Coach was written: SICKNESS AND DISEASE in white lettering.
I then saw a large white Truck, with a body that rose very high. On the otherside of it, was written FOR WASTAGE.
I saw a Bicycle and every spoke of the wheels bore the sign, THEFT AND PILFERAGE.
Then I saw Bullock –Carts and Camel-Carts, towing large flashy cars like Rolls Royce etc, and on the Carts was a sign, ASSETS TURN TO LIABILITIES.
All lovers of money, those who believed that it had ‘supernatural power’, believed that money talked, and worked wonders, those slaves of mammon, those false teachers and preachers and prophets that sold God’s Word and ‘the anointing,’ those men and women, who kept on keeping on about, “ The Lord Says you are to give me thousands of dollars”, type, those greedy for gain at any cost, those who had amassed great wealth, by twisting the Word of God, such when they placed their hands in the Pipeline, to withdraw money, took quite a while realizing that their money in a manner of speaking had become UNSPENDABLE.
It could only be spent for the causes depicted on the signs. The money was spending itself. It was paying hefty backbreaking medical bills, choice food that they could well afford to buy with their money, they were forbidden to eat, by their doctors. Food was rotting in the fridges; loved ones were costing such as these vast sums of money. Medical bills were high, even when these were hale and hearty, for they suffered from imaginary, psychosomatic illnesses. Many pilled themselves to sleep. Their minds were filled with fear and dread. They had clothes they could not wear, food they could not eat, and houses they could not peaceably dwell in. Their children were turning rebellious and causing them heartache. Loved ones were getting ‘costlier and costlier’ to maintain.
Many had loved ones suffer before their very eyes, but the money was powerless to cure them of their torment.
People were lusting after their properties.
Property property property.
The bugs in the money caused them peacelessness, restlessness, torment.
What might cost the ordinary man a dollar in the street was costing them a hundred thousand dollars.
Money was slipping out of the hands of the Mammonites, like sand.
Friends were betraying them, ‘whistle-blowers’ were ‘betraying’ them, family members were deceiving them.
The simple pleasures that are free to many were forbidden to them.
Mistrust, fear was gaining on them. Their superstitions were surfacing.
The money had been collected by these false teachers/preachers, in the Name of the Lord.
Many Pledges suddenly stopped. Those pledging were backing out. Financial commitments would be hard to keep, just as commitment to God had been hard to keep.
Ill-qualified servants were becoming masters, advisors and counselors.
The Tax man, the changing government laws, wrong investments, wrong strategies were draining the resources.
All they had, had been purchased when prices were sky-rocketing, but when the time to panic-sell came, prices had plummeted. They were begging buyers to buy.
Assets purchased, decisions/commitments made became issues for costly litigation. Even when in the eyes of the world their cause seemed just, in the eyes of the law, it was not.
The gentlest member of the group of loved ones, would become a ‘gas- guzzler’ -type liability in the family. Assets became liabilities. People became liabilities. High maintenance for low life.
Mammonites were maintaining white elephants.
With a stroke of a pen, laws of the land would change.
People were viewing these Mammonites as liabilities. Like rats leaving a sinking ship, supporters were slipping away, with what they had unilaterally decided were their ‘just dues’.
Those who knowing/sensing the truth about them chose to stay, suffered the same and worse.
Short-term investments yielded dust and the long-term investments weren’t worth the paper they were written on.
The hithertofore loyal, had fled, loyalty was being purchased in the market-place.
Settling issues was costing money, maintaining status quo was costing money.
No overdraft facilities, now as time moved on there was just the law and bills bills bills.
The new kids on the block, inspired by their false teachings and prosperity gospels, were ready to boot them out. Old age would not be pleasant for such as these. Pride and egos were flaring up. Their patrons and sponsors were leaving one by one.
As times worsened they saw all around them were white elephants that they had amassed.
Drained drained drained.
I saw their resources being spent needlessly, wasted beyond comprehension.
Next:
I saw printing presses that churned out books and tapes, have their orders cancelled and a pile of readied, but now cancelled orders, were being prepared to be secretly burned/dumped.
Money was being spent to shut the mouths of those who would expose them.
The emotional trickery they had used on others was now being used upon them.
Like a dripping tap, drop by torturous drop, their wealth was slipping away.
They had not wanted Jesus as their Reward. They who had rejected Christ, the very thing or person, they rejected Him for, would now reject them.
Deuteronomy 28: 47,48
"Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,
therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
Matthew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Their money had become a ‘devoted thing’, earmarked for destruction. These false teachers/preachers/evangelists had robbed the children of God of their inheritance, now their own ‘inheritance’ would dissipate before their very eyes.
Ezekiel 13: 10-14
Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, 'Peace!' when there is no peace--and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar--
say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down.
Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, 'Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?' "
Therefore thus says the Lord God: "I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.
So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I am the Lord
Jeremiah 8: 7-13
"Even the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow Observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord.
"How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us'? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord; So what wisdom do they have?
Therefore I will give their wives to others, And their fields to those who will inherit them; Because from the least even to the greatest Everyone is given to covetousness; From the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, 'Peace, peace!' When there is no peace.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; In the time of their punishment They shall be cast down," says the Lord.
"I will surely consume them," says the Lord. "No grapes shall be on the vine, Nor figs on the fig tree, And the leaf shall fade; And the things I have given them shall pass away from them." ' "
Psalm 73
A Psalm of Asaph.
1.Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment. 7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish. 8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them. 11 And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?" 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches. 13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children. 16 When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me-- 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. 18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. 19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind. 22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. 24 You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.

15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children. 16 When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me-- 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. 18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. 19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind. 22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. 24 You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.
