Before I continue in prophetic mode, I just want to take a moment to acknowledge a few things.
If you demand God's best; but, have not offered your "firstfruits;" but to your own disgrace, you continue to allow yourselves to be miscounseled to mock God to His face in the very basics, "short ephah." Your only reward is repudiation.
Leviticus 19:32 (NLT)
“Stand up in the presence of the elderly, and show respect for the aged. Fear your God." I am the LORD.
1 Timothy 5:2 (NLT)
"Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters."
1 Peter 5:5 (NLT)
"In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
This "old ugly" homeless woman, as I am often called, gives thanks to God that I am full of years: And that He does not judge by the outer cup; but, has instead numbered the hoary hairs of this devout elders' head.
Proverbs 16:31 (KJV)
The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
Thank you again to those of you who set forth no pagan ritual, but simply took God at His Word: "Test me in this..." He says. Because you came with both honor and offering, you found out that, indeed, "God's Word works."
Genesis 12:3[a] (NLT)
"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt."
Your having given ear to God's Word will always put a smile on my face and joy to my heart. I testify before the LORD on your behalf.
Numbers 6 (KJV)
²⁴The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: ²⁵The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: ²⁶The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
God will always remain faithful to His Word.
