Well, one of the amazing truths that God shared with my heart is now penned for the Body of Believers to read, see, and hopefully understand.  It is one of the phenomenal truths of Scripture that has never been more applicable and desirable to the believer than now-a time of economic chaos, bailouts, and utter confusion about the same.  All of a sudden revelations are coming forth from all sides of American life (and global as well) of the tremendous need that exists in this "rich" country of ours.  Banks are folding; states are standing in the "welfare" line asking for a little bit more to make it through.  The Auto Industry is crashing against the wall, while companies insuring them are frantically seeking their own safety belts to hold themselves together in these rocky times.
 
And because the church receives its income from its members who are impacted by their companies' crisis, eventually the turmoil shows up (or doesn't show up) in the offering plate.  Today many churches are found trimming the fat, laying off staff, and cutting needed programs.  Dollars can no longer be found in order to support them.  (Please allow me to interject right here that Mega Church has had to do none of those things.  The favor of God has remained upon us in this regard-Thanks be to our living Lord!)
 
But even for us this truth-"It's In The Fish's Mouth"---stands high as a goal to be fully achieved.   Our attaining it will transform not only our church, but believe me, this city will take note, our state will show up at our door for insight, and recognition of this truth shall spread throughout our nation, the Body of Believers, and the world. 
 
Peter captured more than a coin.  Jesus sent him to capture a system upon which the world will be founded and built.  He recovered that lost coin that Adam dropped (lost) while cruising down the river.  He came back with it ready to present to Jesus.  However, Jesus didn't need it; Peter did.  And it became Peter's provision for his bills to be paid.  Wow!
 
Let me stop right here and suffice it to say that you who are reading this heartbeat have already identified yourself with Peter's dilemma.  The same resolution that Jesus gave Peter is now available to you.  If you would agree, then you are in dire need of the truths that are contained in my new release-"It's In The Fish's Mouth."  And I so urge you to make acquisition of the same today.
 
To give you a sneak peak of this masterful study, let me share with you an excerpt from this book that I believe will spark a further interest and desire in you to pursue.
 
 
Peter studied the man in front of him, dressed in an
expensive robe and wearing well-crafted sandals, as
befitted a prominent citizen of Capernaum and the
collector of the temple tax.

"Well, what will it be?" asked the man, his brown eyes
piercing into Peter's. "Does your teacher pay the halfshekel
tax to the temple or not?"

Peter looked down at his feet. "Yes," he mumbled,
even though he felt he was being trapped. "Yes, Jesus
does pay the taxes he owes," he wanted to add, "But right
now we don't have any money, not even the half-shekel
you're asking for." Instead he held his tongue. It was
better to go and speak to the Master first before getting
all of them into trouble.

The tax collector grunted and said, "I'll be over to
collect his tax this afternoon, and your half-shekel tax as
well."

The man's words echoed in Peter's head as he made
his way through the marketplace and back to the house
where Jesus and the group of disciples were staying. A
shekel was an inconsequential amount of money, no
more than the cost of a handful of figs. But the truth was,
individually and collectively, they did not even have that
small amount of money at the moment. When he reached the house, Peter went immediately inside to confront Jesus about this new financial situation.

"I met the tax collector in the market today and he
asked if you pay taxes to the temple. It's becoming an
issue, and we don't have any money."

"What do you think, Peter? From whom do the earthly
kings collect their taxes? Their own children or from
others?" Jesus countered.

Peter replied, "From others."

"Then," said Jesus, "The sons are free."

Peter gulped as he took in the implication of what
Jesus was saying. The Master did not think he had to pay
the tax. Peter imagined the showdown that would occur
when the tax collector showed up for the money and
Jesus refused to pay on the grounds that his Father was
the God of heaven.

Jesus smiled. "Peter, don't worry. We don't want to
give offense, so go down to the sea and cast a hook, and
take the first fish that comes up. When you open its
mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to the
tax collector to pay both our taxes."
