God hates poverty and watches over both the rich who ignore the needy and the homeless themselves. The speaker points to the early church, where no member lacked anything, as a model of communal provision and argues that giving to the poor is lending to the Lord.
Chapters
When people are in lack, everything about them is under attack. At some point he said, he that gives to the poor lends to the Lord. Oh, he hates, he hates to leave people in poverty. He wants to— because the children can't do the quality of things they want to do, can't become the quality of things they should become, and everything is being fired right and left. Lack comes with torment. God doesn't like it. Some people have houses they've not even visited in 10 years. Some people are homeless. God is looking and say, this is not Martin. And that's why, as a believer, as God begins to lift you, look for somebody to lift. That's kingdom. Hey, all this me, me, me, you don't understand kingdom. Look for someone. Whose hands can I pull up? That's kingdom mindset. And that's why you see the early church got this right. There was none amongst them that have need of anything. They understand the power of togetherness. That's the kingdom. That's the kind of heaven that if somebody comes to church not dressing well, God doesn't have to come down. The person seated beside that person is the answer to the prayer. You must always set out looking for how God can use you for somebody, not just what you can get. Always. That's kingdom mindset. Now, if you begin to trust God for resources on this account, then you have become a person that God can trust with wealth and can trust with resources.
