Dear beloved: The last part of the orchard dream that I have been sharing with you has to do with blessing the kingdom of God with the money that the orchard will bring to the church. In the dream I saw rows of stone fruit trees with freshly tilled, black soil all around the base of each tree. Then the Lord showed me a lady who was coming down the rows, digging around each tree and pulling silver coins up out of the soil, and holding the coins up in the air. The Lord was saying to me, "these trees will produce money for the church and for the Kingdom of God, so beware and do not let anyone use the money for purposes other than to bless the Kingdom." Deuteronomy 8:16 "In the wilderness He fed you manna which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do good for you in the end. v17 Otherwise, you might say in your heart, my power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth. v18 But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you the power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day." And so God is confirming the covenant with us also, by showing through the dream that He will care for us no matter what the circumstances, even in times of famine or drouth, He will be our provision.
God's economy operates on a foundational principle that if we bless the Lord with the tithes and offerings from the fruits of our labors, then He will continue to pour out blessings upon us in greater measure. Malachi 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this" says the Lord of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. v11 Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,"says the Lord of hosts. v12 "And all the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land," says the Lord of hosts. And so God will bless the orchard and cause it to grow and produce fruit so that many will be blessed in the name of Jesus, and in return He expects the money and wealth that the orchard produces to in turn be invested in Kingdom ventures. What a joy to know that God cares about every detail of our lives, and all the details of the churches He cares about also.
Jesus says in Luke 6:38 "Give and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." God is preparing His people for the end time harvest which is going to begin in earnest when the economy of America goes sour and food and other essentials will be very expensive and hard to find. Prepare while you still have time; put some food and water back for emergency use, and for immediate use get busy and plant a garden and some fruit trees and berry bushes. You will not only be able to take care of yourself and family, but you will also be able to bless those in need in the name of Jesus. God bless you, in Christ, Jim
