As I was meditating on some things regarding my work, the Holy Spirit showed me a correlation between the types of people I meet on my job and Christians. When I was done, He spoke to me, “Tell my people to invest in Me, and they will reap mighty rewards. Events will happen this year, and those who have fully invested in me will reap a mighty harvest.”
In my line of sales, I have discovered there are four types of people who walk onto my lot:
First, there are those who are serious about buying or renting to own our product. They are seriously interested in the features, warranties, quality, and a reasonable price.
Second, there are those whose interest is strictly based on price. They don’t care about quality, features, or warranties, just give me the lowest price possible. They already have a price set in their head with only a small margin of error. If they don’t find their price here, they become price browsers, searching for the same product until they find it for the price they had in their head. If they cannot find it for that price, they refuse to ever buy it from anyone.
Third, there are those who want the product fast and temporarily. The price really isn’t an issue, they just need it ASAP, and they only plan on using it for a short time. A portion of people in this group rent it because they know at some point they will stop paying their monthly bill and hope it doesn ‘t get taken away from them. For them, investing was never long term, only short term.
Fourth, there are those who I call fakers and spousal sabotagers. They come like hell or high water refusing to buy before they even show up on the lot. The only reason they are even there is because their spouse or someone else dragged them or sent them. They don’t want to argue, explain, or suffer any consequences for not wanting to go and buy. They hope the person who dragged them there will see the price and back out, getting them out of the woods, but when they realize the person is very serious about purchasing, they become the faker/sabotager, trying everything in their power to prevent them from buying. Some will even come right out and make it known they are not buying.
I am finding these same four types of people when it comes to salvation.
First, there are those who take their salvation and the things of God seriously. They want a quality relationship with God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. They are looking for a long term investment in God.
Second, there are those who come to God expecting certain things to happen in their head. When they realize it is not what they expected, they no longer want anything to do with the Christian faith. They are no longer interested in buying it.
Third, there are those who only want God for a short period of time. (Going through a disease, no job, no finances, no food…etc) Just like when the Lord Jesus healed the ten lepers (Luke 17:11-19). They all begged for prayer, healing, and deliverance, but once they got it, nine of them wanted nothing to do with God. Only one of them came back to thank Him. Some people make promises to God, knowing all along they are not intending to keep them.
Fourth, there are those who are fake professing Christians. They will do everything in their power to sabotage another person ‘s walk with God. They were never really looking to be saved, they just didn’t want to have to argue, explain, or suffer the consequences for not going along with it by not being a Christian.
God is very serious about people making an eternal investment in His kingdom. Now more than ever, God’ s kingdom needs workers and finances. Satan is outspending us on average 10,000 to 1. If you are getting fed by a ministry, please learn to be a giver. Many of us muzzle the ox feeding us and then pass it off as God will provide, but it is a sin to ask.
As my Pastor has been saying for years, “Are these true laborers not even worth a dollar a day? Many will give fast food and coffee more than a dollar a day, but will cry foul when it is time to give to God’ s kingdom.”
God is a God of practical wisdom, as well as spiritual wisdom. Try going down to the electric company and start speaking in tongues and tell them, “I am no longer paying my electric bill. Jesus paid it all.”
I guarantee if the electric company does not get your money by a certain date, they will send someone by your house singing Teddy Pendergrass, “Turn Off the Lights,” and you will no longer have electricity. If you want to see the kingdom grow in your life, learn to invest in God. Those who do will reap mighty rewards.

Reading these prophecies I despair of Jesus ever returning in our lifetime, perhaps a few more generations away
Here is a powerful vision I just read, very detailed oriented, and full of history as well.
By Charlie Stamp released 3-3-17, visitation given on 12-31-16
DONALD TRUMP…… CHASING THE WILD GOOSE.
In the early morning hours of December 31, 2016, I had a profound visitation from the Lord regarding President Trump and the affairs of nations. In this dream I was brought to a country fair. As I walked in there was a sign that read The Country’s Fair. The sign then changed to say, The Country’s Affairs. The scene was set with different tents representing various nations around the world. It felt as if I was brought to a secret gathering where the leaders of the world were discussing different affairs of the nations.
There seemed to be great turmoil and destruction happening in every tent then suddenly I saw President Trump emerge from one of the tents. As I looked at him he began to change into a dove, then a goose and began to fly. I saw many other leaders emerge from various tents around the fair and change into doves then into geese as well. Then an individual walked over to me; I knew him to be the Holy Spirit because of his unique appearance.
I’ve encountered him over the years in my dreams so when he approached me I recognized him immediately. I asked, “What is happening?” He said, “Look up! This is what your President has done. He’s chasing the wild goose, everything is about to change!” When I looked up, I saw thousands of geese flying in perfect V formations. It was a sight to behold. I immediately understood what the Holy Spirit was telling me.
In the month of November, the day of the election, the Lord led Brynn and I along with our ten-year-old son and five-year-old daughter to take a prayer journey to the Isle of Iona and pray for the elections. The isle of Iona had been a very significant location for the spreading of Christianity into the United Kingdom and Europe in the early centuries and was founded by an Apostolic leader named Saint Columba. God had given Saint Columba a governmental anointing over nations and there are many accounts and stories of Columba meeting with Angels on the island.
In fact, there is a hill on the island that is called “the Hill of Angels” and it is said that angels would ascend and descend to council with Columba over the affairs of the nations as he and his disciples went out from there across the land to spread the Gospel. Another significant location on the island is a spot that is said to have had the Stone of Destiny brought to it so Columba could anoint the Kings that God had chosen to rule different nations. They would sit on the Stone of Destiny and Columba would pray and anoint them, this was primarily done for the kings of Scotland through the years, but other Kings came as well.
The Isle is so significant in history that sixty kings are buried on this island, forty- eight Scottish Kings rest there as a testament to the power that this place once held. We were led by the Lord to travel and pray there after discovering that President Trump had Scottish heritage through his Mother. She had been born and raised on the famous Scottish Isle of Lewis, which is well known because of the powerful revival that came in 1949 with Evangelist Duncan Campbell. Our whole family prayed and prophesied by the direction of the Lord from the very spot where Columba had prayed for the Kings centuries before.
We prayed that Trump would be anointed to take the position as the next president of the United States. Despite the downpour of rain, we powered through that day decreeing what the Lord had shown us, even our children joined in and spontaneously prayed during the day. We left with a promise from the Lord, a new king would be crowned, one that He had chosen. His will would be done! Into the early morning hours, we watched as God fulfilled the prophetic word.
In the dream when the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said; “Look up, this is what your President has done. He’s chasing the wild goose!” I understand it because the Celtic Saints referred to the Holy Spirit as the Wild Goose. It was a well known symbol to them of the Holy Spirit and His nature. They would talk about the Holy Spirit as chasing the wild goose. A goose also represents great wealth, prosperity and blessing.
The Lord is speaking a clear word to America and the nations right now. I believe that we are about to see one of the greatest transformations of nations that any generation has ever seen. I believe the Lord is going to get ahold of President Donald Trump that he will chase the Holy Spirit with great passion and cause other nations to follow the United States. He will lead other leaders to fly above the turmoil and chaos to a place of unity and victory in the earth, a massive shift is coming. A global transformation!
I began to look again into the sky and I saw what looked to be a pillar of wings going up into the heavens. I asked the Holy Spirit, “Are the geese flying into heaven?” The Holy Spirit said, “Look again, these are not geese these are angels and what you are looking at is Jacob’s ladder.” I looked again and it came into perfect focus and I saw thousands of angels ascending and descending on a crystal staircase. The Holy Spirit said, “Follow me, I will take you there.” Instantly I found myself in the midst of the staircase.
Angels were moving past me at the speed of light. I could hear their voices and feel the wind of their wings upon my face, it was breathtaking. They were moving at lightning speed taking assignments throughout the whole earth. We climbed the staircase until it shifted into what seemed to be a crystal looking bridge with angels and people interlocking arms across it. I said, “What is this Holy Spirit?” He said, “This is the bridge from heaven to earth. Come, I want you to meet someone.” He brought me to a man who was on his knees praying. He looked weary like he had been in a great battle. He had his arms interlocking with angels on both sides. The Holy Spirit said, “This is an everyday believer, “The Intercessor”, his name is Urijah. He is a warrior for the Kingdom!”
The Holy Spirit continued to speak saying, “Prophet, you must prophesy to him. He is weary in well doing, but the joy of the Lord is his strength. We need him in the fight. Without the Intercessor locking arms with the angels, God can’t release Heaven on Earth. It’s the great exchange, the partnership of the celestial and the terrestrial. It is the Intercessor who helps bridge the gap and create the arc from Heaven to Earth with the angelic realm, you must prophesy!”
I started to prophesy and suddenly an overwhelming joy came into my heart and I began to laugh uncontrollably as I decreed the word of the Lord for this man. The Holy Spirit said, “That’s it, the joy of the Lord is his strength!” I saw the joy return to the face of this man and strength come back into his body. He gripped tightly to the angels on both sides of him and began to pray for the nations again. I then awoke at 3:00 am.
The name Urijah holds great significance because it means, Yahweh is my light. This is what all believers are to be; a light to the world. We must let that light shine through our lives and one of the most important places for that light to shine is in prayer.
I believe that many Intercessors have become weary over the past several months praying over the affairs of the nations, but God is releasing great joy in the coming hour. Many have become weary in well doing, but the Lord is about to bring great encouragement and strength back by the Prophets decreeing the Word of the Lord over them.
I want to encourage all believers that God is bringing a refreshing joy to your intercession and where the last several months you have felt a great amount of burden to the point of weariness, God is bringing your joy back. You will stand and see all that you have prayed in this last season come to pass and your joy will be overwhelming and full of Glory. God Bless you all in this New Year!

Matt, thank you for sharing Charlie Stamp’s vision! What a beautiful vision…the Lord is going to use President Trump in a mighty way…Blessings, Corrine
All the doves flying to Heaven could be the rapture. God gave us Trump for a short season only to reveal how evil and corrupt the country is, ripe for judgment, not to be our Savior.
I’m getting a check in my spirit about this one…
I do know that the Island of Iona is a very mystical place that has a very deep connection with extremely ancient witchcraft.

Good article Matt!
Matt,
“The George Soros of Christianity” what a great line.I love reading your articles.
Matt you posts are always so encouraging. Thanks for being here on Z3.
To God be the glory.
Matt, I always enjoy your post they are surely from the Lord
Genuine Christians are naturally (spiritually) prone to be open handed givers. There’s not much prompting needed. I think it might be that there are fewer “real” Christians than one thinks there might be. But the story and analogy was very good.
Thanks! I agree Brother Steven. Sadly, I am seeing more and more people teaching against giving.
Teddy Pendergrass, LOL. That was a good one. And an even better message. Thank you brother for an awesome word, as well as your great sense of humor. Nice touch. 😀
Thanks!
This was on my mind before I read it. Thanks for the confirmation. Taking without giving just isn’t right. This site and the people in it have meant a lot to me. We have to give in faith as the Lord leads. And be thankful sites like this exist for those that hear from God in different ways and feel the need to share it, not to be proud or even seem weird in some eyes, but to find the other pieces to the part we are given in the most humble way we know.
Yes Donna! Sites like z3 do NOT need to be financially muzzled. Many do not know the finances and man power it takes to operate on a daily basis, and compete with Satan’s wicked crew. For the last year, I told God I want to be the George Soros of Christianity, and be able to give millions to those good stewarding men and women of God doing real Kingdom work for God.
When I was reading your post this morning, Thy Will Be Done was singing thru my head.
I wasn’t talking about that country song out there. I just heard those words singing. Thy Will Be Done.
Thanks Matt…and on that note time I believe its time to make another donation to Z3 News. Let’s keep supporting this work everyone – you cannot run a car (ministry) on an empty gas (money) tank!
“George Soros of Christianity” indeed.
You are correct. Most people wouldn’t work on their jobs for free. A lot of people who profess to be a Christian, would call their boss something, other than calling it a day, if they didn’t get paid.
WOW, Thanks for this. I am listening again to this video and at Min 27 she starts talking about possessing in God what rightly belongs to us, exercising our faith over the decree, prophecy, blessing whatever it is that you feel contention over in your spirit, that you know God has given, but it is not totally functional…
The video is called: Holy Ghost Power Night OCT 20: Praying in Faith, This means war!!
Here’s the passage she refers to:
24‘Arise, set out, and pass through the valley of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession and contend with him in battle. 25‘This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples everywhere under the heavens, who, when they hear the report of you, will tremble and be in anguish because of you.’ Deut. 2:24-5
Many people think i is a sin to be wealthy, I do NOT agree with them. I think it is a sin to have much seed, and NOT put the seed towards firstfruits, tithes, and Kingdom work. It is not how much money one has, it is what they do with the money they have.
I agree Matt. It takers money to help others. It just ALL has to be done in HIS Name and 100% for HIS GLORY. Of course he will bless you. Sometimes we get in our minds our own will and our own ideas. I have learned the importance of reading the Bible and studying books pertaining to the area that I feel he is leading him.
Great points, Matt!
Peggy, Here’s a true story for you, you just can’t make up. The other day, as I was scrolling down my timeline on FB, another professing devout Christian stated if you receive a donation (Love Offering), you have just sold the gospel. Many think receiving funds so, the means in which the gospel is gotten out is a sin. Sadly, many in the church have backwards logic.
