Building Barns
I was thinking, on this subject, and I said to myself. good message could be in this. I did not, know where, I would start, or even, if I could do a message, on "Building Barns". So, I prayed, Lord, I don't know where, this is going. But if you want me to do this message, I need your guidance. So, here we go, I will see where this is going.
To start with, I know what a barn is, and what you do with a barn. But I was not sure of the bible meaning.

I looked up barn in the, Strong's Concordance. The meaning is this: 1) a place in which anything is laid by or up 
2) a storehouse, granary) Keep, this in mind.
Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou 
hast provided ?

We see this every where we go. They are tearing down churches, and building, or adding on them.
My brother told me, just the other day, that this church in, Gainesville,Ga., is building something that will cost a lots of dollars
They already have a tremendous, church building, also they have another church...... The preacher, does not even go there to preach.
The people watch it on a monitor....... They also have a coffee shop, and a restaurant...... They have a game room, where they can play 
pool, video games, etc. They also have a basket ball court. They have a church, in California, the pastor flies there in his private jet.

I have been by the one in, Gainesville, Ga. The parking lot is so big, they use a shuttle, to pick up the people and shuttle them to the church......

I looked up what they were building, and this is what I found. Hold on to your seats.
This was copied, from their web site, on what they are building. No, I am not making this up. This is what the pastor of the church said.
Construction is underway for a chapel that will seat 300 people and an amphitheater that will hold more than 1,500 people 
beside Free Chapel’s main campus in Gainesville. The property will also contain a reflection pool with an outdoor baptistry, a 
landscaped prayer walk, a wedding and hospitality terrace and a reception area. Besides, all of this....
The additions are not the only part of the master plan. Upgrades are planned for the 157,000-square-foot main building.
“We’re renovating the building we have,” Franklin said, adding the main campus facility is 17 years old. “We are going to upgrade it — 
outside and inside.” They said they had 145-acre campus. Besides, all of this, my brother said, the preacher, has a house that is
a multimillion dollar mansion on Lake Lanier.

This is the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully..... Yes I will name, the church and the pastor. Some will not like what I am saying, but I am only speaking, what the Lord is showing me. The name of the church is Free Chapel. The name of the pastor is
Jentezen Franklin. The church attendance, in in the thousands.
My brother also told me, that there was a church, not far from him. It is a baptist church. I think it is called, Blackshear Baptist. They are
building something there, that will cost $22,000,000. That is so many #'s I almost forgot, how to type it
There are many more churches, that are doing the same. I know of one that is the range of 25 to 30 miles from me, in Oconee Co.
They are building on their church and it is costing, $1,000,000...

Also look at all the televangelists and see what they are worth.
Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar ( funny his last name is dollar) Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes, ( I just gave him a nick name.... 
Top Dollar Jakes, it is so much fun, when he Lord, is with you.)
Franklin Graham and there are many more, that I cannot remember. There are some that said, the Lord, spoke to them, and said, they 
needed a private jet.
These are the ones that said..... What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? This will I do: I will pull down my "barns", and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

People, these places are, nothing but " Barns" to God. They are a nothing but a storehouse, what God hates. He always hated this way,and he always will. He hated it in the Old Testament, and he hates it in the New Testament. The only place that storehouse is mentioned in the New Testament... Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Jeremiah 50:26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: 
let nothing of her be left. ( that is exactly what I am trying to do. I am coming against her, and opening some storehouse doors, and trying
to destroy this evil and i pray that nothing of her be left.) I am not doing this alone. I have the,Lord, on my side. I am trying to destroy 
these "Barns"

Here is the one, that all of them use against, the people. They use this to get your money.
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the 
Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
(Tithing, was of the law, and the New Testament church is not under that law. We are under, Jesus Christ, which is Grace. We no longer 
are under that storehouse. ("Barn") We are under, the New Covenant, where the church is never commanded to tithe. 
You can not find, any where that, Peter, Paul, and the rest of the apostles, commanded that the NT church, pay any tithes. Paul
also said " 1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I 
write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. (where is it written that, Paul, says that the people, have to pay any tithes? He said, that what he has written are the commandments of the Lord. Would some one, show me scripture, where Paul said that we are to pay tithes?

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth 
a cheerful giver.
Luke 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. (This is the NT, way of giving. Not to some "barn" where these pastors,spend millions and millions of dollars. They spend it on, yachts, cars. houses, and on their churches. ("Barns")

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
These churches, have much goods, and much property. They are not in need of nothing, there is much goods and fruits, stored in 
these " Barns". They are rich. What does the word of, God, say about these, rich "Barns"?

Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the 
kingdom of God. ( two witness, back to back, saying the same thing. There are more saying the same thing. Look it up and see for
yourself) But I would like to bring up a scripture, in Revelation.

Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art 
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: ( is this not saying the same thing,as Luke 12: 18 where it is talking about
will I bestow all my fruits and my goods? I have shown, some of the riches, of these " Barns." Luke 12: 16.....said they had plentifully

Luke 12: 9 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
( Is this not what these " Barns" are saying? Is this what, Matthew, was saying? He said, in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking. Are not these " Barns" at ease? They have, these suppers, where they are eating and drinking.
Paul said in: 1 Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
1 Corinthians 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
Be merry, is this what they are saying? Merry xmas... These " Barns" has a occasion for every thing. They have new years parties,
they have their xmas parties, they also have their, Trunk or Treat, and many more.
12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which 
thou hast provided ?
This is about the same parable, that is recorded, in Luke 16...... where Jesus, is speaking a parable about a certain rich man.
Read it and check me out.
Ok, last scriptures..... Matthew 6:24... No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and 
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
These " Barns" are not a good place, to serve God. They all like mammon. They all like their riches, and they like their treasures. 
The love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves 
through with many sorrows.
I did all of this message, to come to this one thing.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, 
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
People, you need to flee, from these "Barns" Run as fast as you can. These "barns" is not of God
Once again, as I said from the beginning, of this message. 
I did not, know where, I would start, or even, if I could do a message, on "Building Barns". So, I prayed, Lord, I don't know where, this is going. But if you want me to do this message, I need 
your guidance.
The Lord, has delivered this message to me, and to him, be the glory and honor.
