I don't understand it-----, but I've been reading about it--and people I personally know have been experiencing it. God really is putting Gold, Silver, even porcelain in people's mouths. But why?

Seems that he could be lengthening legs, healing quadriplegics, or in my case, growing my hair back! (see my mug at: http://www.elijahlist.com).

I bet I'm not the only one asking the question, "What's this thing about Gold in your mouth?"

What does the scripture hint?

Matt 17:27 "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours."

What do you think I'm going to say about this scripture?

That the Lord sees value in what comes out of our mouth? Yes, maybe That the Lord has all our provision handled? Yes, that's true That the Lord, who made man and beast is in control of both? Absolutely!

But here's the deal. There are many more possibilities and you will soon read about more possible applications as to "Why Gold?" "Why the mouth?" "Why now?"

Here's my take:

All of the above are true. But more important is: God can do what He wants. He can choose the sign, the timing of the sign, where, when, and how the sign if performed . . . and whether or not we understand it, we have a choice to believe or to disbelieve. If you BELIEVE--- and IF IT'S GOD,--- then you will know, among other things, where HE IS MOVING. God chooses the sign. You choose to believe or not believe. Simple.

WOULD YOU HAVE BELIEVED?

How many do you think (who hadn't specifically watched the line be thrown in to catch the fish)-- actually believed the miracle of the coin in the fish's mouth? Professors in colleges all over the world doubt "out loud" miracles such as the fish and the coin every day.

Yet God gives ample opportunity to believe and learn from the signs He is giving. . . but He NEVER removes all possibility of doubt, because some CHOOSE to doubt--- and God doesn't remove their choice from them.

Following this will be several postings of testimonies where God is filling teeth supernaturally with Gold. These postings are coming from people I know personally or whose ministry I have respected over a long period of time. I encourage you to seek the Lord for what He may be saying IN THIS HOUR regarding His purpose for filling the mouths of Believers with Gold.

And while we're at it, here are some scriptures about the mouth and/or Gold . .

IT'S IN YOUR MOUTH

Rom 10:6-10 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is IN YOUR MOUTH and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your MOUTH, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your MOUTH that you confess and are saved. (NIV)

GOD'S WORD FROM OUR MOUTHS IS PRECIOUS

Ps 119:71-73 71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. 72 The law from your MOUTH is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of SILVER AND GOLD. 73 Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands. (NIV)

GOD BLESSED ABRAHAM WITH GOLD--IT WAS A SIGN OF HIS PROSPERING BY THE HAND OF GOD

Gen 24:35 35 The LORD has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys. (NIV)
