Proverbs states that “He who gives to the poor, lends to the Lord”. The Lord pays back more than we lend Him when we trust Him. Years ago a friend was telling me about one of the wealthiest men in America who made Jesus his senior partner by giving 51% to the needy. He grew up in poverty. The Lord witnessed this to my spirit. I wanted to start giving 51% but my wife violently objected. My wife divorced me against my will. Now I am free to walk with Jesus. I now give to the needy - mostly orphanages and the Salvation Army.

Giving to most churches is like putting your money in a rat hole. I have been in countries where they met in tin shacks made from discarded material. See the photo of orphans in Kenya meeting for devotions. Do you see Jesus on their faces? Do you in the church you go to? If not, you need to stay there and make a difference or get out and find a place where they let Jesus in - possibly a home group. They are poor in material wealth but very rich in the spirit. Their worship with uplifted hands and shining faces is like sweet smelling incense. Signs and wonders are prevalent as recorded in Acts. The only signs I see in most churches are Exit or Toilet. Many of the churches are asleep in America and Europe. The pastor is elevated - God hates the deeds of the Nicolatians” - the clergy elevating themselves above the church. This is going to change very soon. Much of the money goes to pastors salaries and building funds. Most pastors that I have met are controlling, still in Egypt (world system), undisciplined and are too busy doing "religious" things like the Pharisees to pray or spend time in the Word which will bring life. They have to have worldly programs and so called Christian rock music to bring in youth and adults. I have seen African evangelists in Europe preaching on the city squares. They said that God sent them to wake the church up and bring revival. Britain and later America evangelized Africa. Now they are coming back with the fire of the Lord like the Moravians, John Wesley or Finney. It is taking a very long time to awake even a few of the churches.Soon all true Believers will realize what their gifts and talents are, such as words of wisdom or knowledge, tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, healing, miracles and discerning of spirits - l Corinthians 12. The leaders who refuse to change will come against the Believers saying that they are of the devil. This is the Pharisee spirit which is very prevalent in church leadership today - especially "stiff-neck" white churches.They will not be used in the world-wide revival coming soon.

Recently, the timing chain on my 86 Mercedes started to make a noise. A mechanic told me not to drive far until it was replaced. Most mechanics would charge way over $500 to replace it and the chain is very expensive also. I prayed over the engine & the timing chain noise quit. The mechanic was amazed. I was not because I see so many miracles, such as running the rental car on R for 9 hours when I could not get money from my credit card for two weeks when in South Africa. Or, when the Lord told me to give 100 rand ($13 dollars) that someone had just given to me to a friend. The staff at the homeless shelter stole all of his money. I never ask for money. The Lord told me to give it to him. Now I had nothing to buy food with & he had 100 rand. I went and sat down on a piece of plastic in a meadow away from houses. When I got up there was a 50 rand bill on the ground. I went & got something to eat. I had no money for 2 weeks, but never missed a day of eating and slept well by a fire under cardboard in the woods - no motel or food bills. Miracles happen all of the time when you "hang out" with Jesus & loan Him money.

One night when in South Africa, I was walking. The Lord told me to walk in the middle of the road on side streets at night, which I did. I was taking a road to the left and walked on the sidewalk. Two muscular young black men jumped out and tried to take my brief case. I have a very strong grip. They were not able to get it from me, so they started beating my right hand with brass knuckles and cut my left wrist three times with a razor-sharp knife. I had on a heavy sweater which saved my artery from being cut. I was loudly rebuking them in tongues.All of a sudden I saw great fear on their faces and they ran. They saw my 8' tall, baldheaded guardian angel. They could have killed me, but it was not my time just like the Pharisees tried to kill Jesus and Paul many times, but it was not God’s timing. Years ago the Lord told me of the calling He had on my life. It is now just beginning to be fulfilled.

I was in intense pain. My right hand was greatly swollen and could not move my fingers. My left wrist was profusely bleeding all over my briefcase and leaving a big trail of blood on the sidewalk. Then I started thinking about Steven when he was being stoned. He had no pain because he was focused on Jesus. He saw Jesus stand up from His sitting position at the right hand of the Father. When I did the same, the pain went completely away! Years ago, upon different occasions, I had three crowns put in. I told the dentist that I did not want anesthetic. I kept focusing on Jesus and Scripture verses. This was a powerful witness to the dentist. In fact, I have not been to a medical doctor for thirty five years. Jesus is my Great Physician.

While still bleeding profusely from the razor-sharp knife cuts, I walked into a restaurant and told them to call the ambulance and police. The ambulance arrived much sooner than the police. When two fat policemen arrived, I told them where the robbers ran to. They did not say anything, just stood there like a bump on a log while I was being loaded on a stretcher into the ambulance. This did not surprise me because of previous experience with the police there. While the doctor was sewing me up, I told him of the time I saw a man get out of a shiny new Jaguar. The side mirror folded in when he got out. I asked him what he did, thinking he may own a gold mine. South Africa is famous for gold mines. He replied, “I am a policeman”. I asked, “You don’t take money under the table, do you”? He replied. “I won’t tell you that”. I told the doctor about a conversation with a friend who said that twenty one of his friends were murdered. The police did nothing about any of them. The police are bought out by the criminals. Early one morning it started raining very heavy & put out my fire. My shelter started leaking a lot. I became soaked and walked about one and a half miles to the police station. I asked if they had a blanket I could wrap up in, which I knew they had. They said no. I asked if they had newspapers, which I had seen. They said no. I asked if they had some hot coffee which they had. They said no. I sat on the floor violently shivering. At 6am I walked up the street to Mcdonald's and asked the manager for something hot to drink or eat. He said no. Jesus is quoted in Matthew 25, “Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me..... Depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. I was hungry and you gave me no food. I was thirsty and you gave me no drink. I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not give me clothes, sick and in prison and you did not visit me”. I have had many bad experiences with Mcdonald's, even though I had owned some of their stock and made good profit on it. Finally I asked for a cup which he gave me. I drank several cups of hot water with ketchup in it - hot tomato juice! Pretty good! Finally, I quit shaking!

When I left for South Africa I left money for the lady whom I trusted that was taking of my 98 year mother. She was loving and did a good job of caring for Mom. I felt OK about leaving her. I prayed over her daily. Mom fell and broke her hip. The cardiologist said she would die if she had a hip replacement. Years ago she had a massive heart attack. The doctors told me to come if I want to see her alive. After much prayer she was released. I took two weeks of vacation and stayed with her. When leaving she was driving again. Mom went to the hospital after she broke her hip, then to a nursing home where she said she was having hallucinations due to the strong pain medication they had been giving her. I told them to slack off - they refused. She was not walking or reading and took nine types of medicine. The Lord told me to bring her home, so I did. In two weeks she was walking again and only taking thyroid medicine. She read a lot prior to going to the hospital and nursing home. It took several months before she was reading like she had previous to her fall. Again she had a sense of humor and laughed, unlike in the nursing home. Nursing homes are run by evil money hungry people who could care less about the poor elderly people. I designed a huge trout farm that cost about a half million dollars. It was for a man who owned a nursing home chain. He was able to pay cash. The farm was cursed. He had constant losses to disease and flooding. It now belongs to a Christian friend who tithes, unlike many church folks. God has blessed the farm. If you do not tithe, your money is under a curse. For those who do not tithe, God says in Malachi 3 that you are robbing Him if you do not tithe. For those who tithe, God says in Malachi 3:11,“I will rebuke the devourer for your sake”. Offerings, which are above 10%, bring added blessings not only financially but in all ways.

While in South Africa, the lady taking care of Mom emailed me that she was out of money to buy supplies for Mom. I told her where my credit card was. Immediately, I knew that I did the wrong thing. I did not ask God first.When I returned home last fall, all of my bank account was wiped out and she ran up $22,000 debt on my credit card. Naturally I was upset. I thought it would take years to pay off. She would not answer the phone when I called many times. I emailed her stating that she was going to Hell if she did not repent and start paying back the money. God gave me back some of the money I had loaned Him by giving to the poor. By January the debt was completely paid. Now that is a miracle! Praise the Lord!

In 1975 my older brother died of leukemia. He was very healthy but broke his immune system down by working too hard. After his death, pain was inside of me seeing him withering away in the hospital bed. Then fear set in that I would die of leukemia. In 1978 I started to get the same symptoms, such as rapidly loosing weight, I had no energy at all and the roof of my mouth was totally covered with sores. It hurt to put hard food in my mouth. When I went from 175 to 135 pounds my wife was fearful that I was going to die. I knew that I was not because the calling that the Lord told me about was not yet fulfilled. My wife begged me to go to a doctor. I refused. Instead, I gave the money that I would have spent on the doctor to charity. This was my turning point. I very slowly started to regain weight. The Lord also showed me how to get rid of the leukemia by rebuking the spirit of death and leukemia and breaking the inherited curses of my ancestors eating food with blood in it - like blood pudding. In the Old Testament God commands us not to eat or drink the blood. You can pray all day and night and the spirits will not leave unless God divinely drives them out. Within a year I was back up to 175. When in South Africa the Lord told me to go to the Dialysis Ward. There I prayed for five out of seven of them as the Lord directed me. All of them had diabetes also. When beginning to pray the Lord told me to break the power of the inherited curses of their ancestors who drink blood in Satanic rituals. As I did so the monitor immediately leveled out & they were healed, being free of the tourmenting spirits.

Do you want to walk in God’s blessings and give 51% or do you want to be hang on to your money, loose your soul and be under a curse? I have never asked for money. Aquaculture International is the only organization that 100% of the money goes to helping orphans and other needy. I do not take a salary and have not taken out travel expenses. At this time we have no paid employees, all volunteers. When we take large teams to help orphanages this summer they will buy Delta credit cards to get free mileage making the flights free. A lot of money from other organizations is used for needless travel, promotion and begging for money - “Our ministry will end if we do not raise so much money soon”. Well, they should end. Judas carried a bag full of money in spite of the fact that he constantly took from it. Jesus never begged for money as churches and ministries do. It is because they do not trust God or have any anointing. When the leadership get anointed, the church will not hold all of the people. The anointing drew thousands to Jesus which made the Pharisees jealous and tried to kill him, but could not. This is a pattern of the End-Time Saints and the institutional church. They will try to kill the Saints with their tongues, but to no avail.
Lets follow Scriptural commandments and we will be blessed as well as being a blessing to many others!
