ll I need to say about the poor and needy is strictly based on the True Living Word of God Almighty. Any person, no matter who or what he or she claims to be, that shuts their ears to any person who is poor and needy, is no Christian at all. Such a person is seen by God as a merciless oppressor, cruel and wicked, which will not inherit the Kingdom of God. As like Matthew 25 v 31 to 46, there are many Scriptures in God 's Living Word which confirms the truth of this. Pass any beggar or a homeless person on the street, while you have sufficient to give, then you are passing the mercy of God by rejecting to love thy neighbour as thyself. Those who do this evil cruelty must know that God will give them what they deserve, and that is eternal punishment. Who knows? Maybe such a person may just be passing one of God 's Angels He sent in the form of a beggar so to test the heart of a so called Christian. This is not impossible, so to all you rich Christians beware, God knows and sees all.

What I have to say is fact and no lie. Yes, Psalm 12 v 5 is true as like all other scriptures about the poor and needy in God 's Living Word is true and powerful. But! This the rich just bluntly refuse today, treating the poor and needy like mongrel dogs, kicking them out of the way. As soon as the poor cry out, they are ignored and considered as the scrap of this world. No one can with all honesty before the Living Eternal God dispute the truth of this. But what I can say is, the day is coming where the poor and needy shall rejoice and the rich who shut their ears to the cries of the poor and needy, will be slaughtered by the Sword of God 's Living Word Jesus Christ. Which true believer can stand up and say that as it stands in Matthew 25 v 31 to 46, James 2 and James 5 v 1 to 6, etc is a lie? Those who ignore these scriptures, will receive what God has promised, and that is eternal damnation.

James 2 5 Hearken , my beloved brethren , hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him ? I do not have to be poor any more in spirit soul and body. Praise God !!!! I am sheltered in the arms of God. God has risen !!!!

Our God is real!Jesus is the son of the living God.

I believe that, first of all, JESUS protects all of us, preserving us. BEING HIS disciple has responsibilities. Being involved in HIS MINISTRY will bring opposition which is no match for JESUS.
