TRANSMUTATION --- ? I ASSUME---?
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
I CARRY A DEEP CONCERN... I AM A PK, PREACHER'S KID...
I WAS RAISED IN A PARSONAGE---
I HAVE SEEN THE GOOD --- THE BAD --- THE UGLY ---
I HAVE ONE QUESTION --- WHO FEEDS THE FEEDER?
In early pastoral duties I state and INCORRECT, IN VALID CONCLUSION...
I ALWAYS SAID: AT LEAST THE FEEDERS SLEEP BETTER THAN EATERS...
This is not true: THE EATERS sleep while the feeders at up cooking...
The feeders are working hours after the eaters eat and leave the work for others
to clean up.
WELL, GOD HELP ME UNDERSTAND, WHO FEEDS THE FEEDERS?
Proverbs 11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered
also himself.
How do we accumulate blessings?
Ever went to a preachers' meeting, you are struggling and drowning under a crushing
load --- THEN YOU HEAR THE SUCCESS STORIES OF THE PROSPERING AND
HEAR: WHY ARE NOT YOU DOING THE SAME...
GOD IS AN ABILITY BASED GOD ---
IF YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET AND YOU GIVE A TROPHY OFFERING...
If you have a $40,000.00 budget, you are a FAILURE, for limited giving.
Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Three times I have cleaned out my total close and given every item of clothes
but the clothes I wore home. Linda washed it daily.
DO WE EDIFY OTHERS?
DO WE WATER OTHERS EVEN IN DRY SPELLS?
IT IS IN CLIMBY DIFFICULT MOUNTAINS THAT WE FIND GOD...
DO WE UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF TRANSMUTATION?
TRANSMUTATION IS CHANGING ONE THING INTO SOMETHING ELSE...
Matthew 6:19 (KJV) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Transmutation is to completely change the form, appearance or nature of something...
TO ALTER OR TO TRADE TO A HIGHER FORM...
SOME MEN HAVE SPENT THEIR WHOLE LIFES WITH CHEMICAL EQUATIONS TRYING
TO CHANGE BASE METALS INTO GOD, OR AT LEAST SILVER.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT TEACH THE OCEAN IS FULL OF GOLD, WE MUST
SEARCH FOR A WAY TO REAP THIS GOLD OUT OF THE SALT-WATER?
UNDERSTAND TRANSMUTATION?
I need gas for my car to go to work.
So I go to the gas station and I trade green paper money in to buy 10 gallons of gas.
PROPER TRANSMUTATION CAN ADD TO YOUR DAYS OR SUBTRACT FROM YOUR
TIME...
I have high blood pressure... THE DRUG STORE HAS ,MEDICINE TO LOWER MY BP.
I go to the doctor and TRANSMUTE MY MONEY FOR A PIECE OF PAPER...
I take the piece of paper to a PHARMACIST and TRANSMUTE with my money
to purchase MEDICINE...
THE MONEY COULD NOT HELP MY CIRCUMSTANCES...
MONEY CAN NOT HELP MY BLOOD PRESSURE --- but avoiding salt, and taking
my medicine I USE THE PROCESS OF TRANSMUTATION TO HELP MY BODY!
THE PROCESS OF TRANSMUATION IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD ---
I GO TO THE DOCTOR, I BUY THE MEDICINE --- BUT I DO NOT CHANGE MY HABITS...
I go to the doctor, the test reveals MY BLOOD SUGAR IS HIGH...
Uncontrolled blood sugar leads to blindness, foot amputation, and a shorter life span.
So my doctor gives me a piece of paper for medicine to treat my blood sugar.
I stop at the drug store and transmute my piece of paper for medicine.
I take the pills and the shots faithfully ---
but I still eat pie, cake, candy bars and starches...
I DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND TRANSMUTATION...
TRANSMUTATION IS MORE THAN TRADING MONEY FOR BENEFITS ---
REAL TRANSMUTATION CAN HAVE ETERNAL BENEFITS...
YOU ARE SENDING BUILDING MATERIALS TO INVEST IN ETERNAL BENEFITS...
REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE?
Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Luke 17:32 (NLT) Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!
ASSUMPTION CAN BE A REAL KILLER...
THE PENSACOLA FLORIDA AREA WAS HAVING A PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 20
YEARS. Many dogs mysteriously disappeared and would never be seen again. There
had been some rather large rewards offered for the return of the beloved pets. Large sums
of money had been gathered and spent to catch the person or persons that were
DOG-NAPPING the pet dogs and cats.
FLOGO was a $5,000.00 WALKER HOUND and had pedigree papers of a championship
blood line. The owner, RUFUS GODWIN, loved FLOGO and put serious effort into
finding and returning FLOGO home.
RUFUS had a micro chip placed in his beloved dog. So Rufus received a faint signal
that lead him into the Blackwater River State Forest. RUFUS was prepared to have the
dog stealers arrested and put in jail as the signal was leading them.
The signal lead RUFUS into an area and Rufus called in OFFICAL HELP TO lead
in the capture of these criminals that were stealing dogs and selling them. The
FLORIDA GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH COMMISSION OFFICERS joined in the
search and the signal lead them to an area called "GATOR HOLE" a deep swamp area.
The signal was clear, so they went directly to the MEAN THIEF...
The officials found a 50 year old BULL GATOR. The gator was one inch short of 11 feet
long. It weighed 500 pounds. After the capture FLOGO's TRACKING COLLAR was found
in the huge gator's stomach. Other dog collars, at least 6 were still were found pocketed
in the gators stomach.
After research one of the collars dated back 14 years. No telling how many dogs, cats
and pets were "STOLEN" by this BULL GATOR and other area gators.
THE ASSUMPTION WAS INCORRECT... THERE WERE NO DOG-NAPPERS STEALING
DOGS AND TAKING THEM NORTH AND SELLING THEM. ALL THE POSTERS,
ALL THE NEWS ARTICLES, ALL THE TV COVERAGE, ALL THE MAN HOURS AND
MONEY SPENT TO INVESTIGATE DOG-NAPPING WAS BASED ON A FALSE
ASSUMPTION.
THE SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT --- YOU OWN ME? I DESERVE THIS...
THE WORD OF GOD MUST BE SEEN AS WELL AS HEARD...
PAY IT FORWARD!!!
I OWE A DEBT I COULD NEVER PAY --- AND MY DEBT IS GROWING EVER DAY...
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise
ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms,
do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,
that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward
thee openly. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to
pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of
men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
AM I PASSING GOD'S BLESSING THAT I RECEIVE ON TO OTHERS...
I LOVE THE ACTION PAY IT FORWARD...
NO, I LOVE THE HEART OF BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED AND I WILL BLESS
OTHERS...
Matthew 6:1 (NLT) “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others,
for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. 2 When you give to someone in need,
don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention
to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
5 “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and
in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward
they will ever get. 6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and
pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken
together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure
that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 (MSG) Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—
given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity."
40 YEARS AGO, LINDA AND I WERE LIVING IN VIRGINIA, THE MOST SOUTH-WEST
AREA OF THE STATE.We lived in an area with few churches and we helped start a
small rural church. The church would always be very small and the population was sparse.
Several pitched in and helped buy land and build a very small building. We found an older,
retired couple to come and pastor the church. We had some wonderful times worshipping
together. There was a very poor little lady that attended every service. Her clothes was
seldom clean, she had no running water and burned cold in a little pot belly stove.
People were kind to her but kind of kept a distance.
I was teaching school at the time and played music on the worship team. I was on the
board and I knew the FINANCIAL STRUGGLE the church was facing. The monthly
payments were greater than the income. The church fell farther and farther behind.
We were about 4 months behind and the stress was great, we began a serious prayer
effort for God to bless this little work.
Linda and I were blessed with some extra money and we felt we should invest the
whole sum of money in that little work.
We went to the bank and got cash and stuffed it into an envelope. I did not
want anyone to know who was the giver. So I wrote a beautiful long letter and placed
it in with the money. I wrote very sloppy and misspelled many of the words and
spoke how we loved the church and our pastor and we were making 5 payments
and covering the bills for the 5 months. This not only made the church current but one
month ahead. We went to church to pray and placed the money and the letter
in the offering bag and went home.
On Sunday we went early to set up the music before Sunday School.
Our elderly Pastor and his wife was jumping up and down and praising the Lord.
They told us about the miracle of the money that little old Sister XXXXX had
given. Sister XXXXX was the widow woman that had nothing but faithfulness to offer.
They read us the note that she had written and tears were running down their face.
Sister XXXXX walked to church and was always late. When she got to church
the whole church greeter her and hugged her and thanked her. She had no idea
what was going on... That day the Preacher took her out to lunch. Next week
another family took her home with them for the day.
I saw TWO MIRACLES OF LOVE THAT DAY... The church took love action
and we SAW THE BIBLE'S BEAUTY COME TO BEAR FRUIT.
WHERE ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR MONEY? YOUR TIME? YOUR EFFORT?
ARE YOU USING THE PROCESS OF TRANSMUTATION IN FOOLS' GOLD?
FEW FIND REAL RELIGION...
REAL RELIGION IS NOT FOUND ON THE PEWS OF IDLENESS...
James 1:27 (KJV) Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world.
Matthew 6:33 (NLT) Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
and he will give you everything you need.
Conclusion: WHAT REALLY MATTERS? STAMP ETERNITY OF YOUR VISUAL
FIELDS.
