Kainos is participating in Giving Tuesday on December 3, a day set apart worldwide for all of us to remember after Thanksgiving and all the Black Friday sales to give to those who help others in all kinds of ways.

We need your help financially to end the year! Let's raise $4,000 to continue hosting retreats, workshops, and in-person gatherings to develop others into their giftings, identities and leadership capacities. For Natalie and Kevin to travel, their expenses must cover to allow them the flexibility to minister effectively in person. They have not received a salary increase in over 15 years and receive less than $1000 a month. Recently, they had to spend a few thousand dollars to keep their 20-year-old traveling car alive to make these treks.

Honor this small yet effective ministry so we can continue to generously bless others as we have consistently in the past. Kainos continues to tithe a portion of its budget for others. Natalie and Kevin sacrificially give of their time, talents and monies to serve. It's time we show them that we appreciate all they do and take the burden off them. Come together as a body to bless Kainos Life Ministries in order for this ministry to be the best she can be to serve all for the glory and honor of Christ!

We are looking for one time or monthly donors to finish off the year. By investing $100, $50, or any monthly amount, you can participate in the vision of Kainos of encouraging and equipping others for Kingdom expansion.

Thank you, and may God supply all of your needs according to His riches!

Natalie's mom's surgery went well and no cancer was found in the lymph nodes. They said she had a picture perfect surgery and appears to be fully recovered! Praise God, and thank you all who were praying!

Heart to Heart testimonies:

Thank you for your prayers on Heart to Heart, I got a clean scan, took my last chemo Tuesday/Wednesday this week. Will see Doctor in 3 months, Praise the Lord! - A.C.

About a month ago you prophesied to everyone on Heart to Heart about liver being healed. I was having issue with my liver for several months and I just got test results back from doctor and I am healed! My results are in the green. On the day you prophesied about liver I wasn't on the call. I heard the replay and received it in faith. This is the power of God. You are true prophets from the Lord. Hallelujah!! - N.H.

I want you both to know that you are hearing from the Lord and ministering to so many people and helping to make disciples. - D.P.

Natalie's book Relational Integrity is getting more exposure! Cindy Wallace is launching a book study meeting every Monday 8am starting November 4 on Zoom (see sidebar). Some who attended the book launch purchased additional books to give to others. We're working on translations for our global readers. Remember, if you have read the book, please leave a review on Amazon!

Discover the transformative power of maintaining relational integrity through life's changing seasons. Natalie shares profound insights and personal testimonies from her journey as a woman apostolic leader. Discover how flexibility, discernment, and divine guidance can be your allies in navigating life's strategic moments. This book offers a distinctive perspective that values both male and female viewpoints, underlining the importance of unity in diversity. It's a perspective that's sure to pique your interest and broaden your understanding.

DEVOTION

In Numbers 22, Balak, the Moabite king, feared the mass of Israelites at his borders. He sought Balaam, an Egyptian prophet who heard from Yahweh, to curse Israel. Balak sent some prestigious folks with a "divination fee" to Balaam to bribe him to curse Israel. Balaam inquired of God. God answered, "Do not go with them. You are not to curse these people, for they have been blessed!" When Balaam refused to go, Balak sent more prestige and riches to bribe him again. Balaam responded, "Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything against the will of the LORD my God." Then, in verse 19, Balaam says, "but stay here one more night, and I will see if the LORD has anything else to say to me."

There is a ton of compromise in verse 19. Balaam's mind was undoubtedly filled with thoughts of that palace full of silver and gold. God then came to Balaam and told him, "Since these men have come for you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you to do." But in the next verse, we find that God is angry that Balaam obeyed! Why on earth was God angry that Balaam did what he was told?

While it seems that Balaam heard and obeyed God the second time, the Lord's first answer was not to go with them. God does not change His mind unless one of His beloveds pleads their case, such as Abraham bargaining for Sodom. Balaam did not do that. He simply inquired again, probably hoping that God would change His mind. In this way, Balaam's way was "reckless before Him". He wasn't interested in honestly hearing from God, but he was very interested in the gold and silver.

A deeper explanation is found in Ezekiel 14:4: "When any of the Israelites set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet, I the LORD will answer them myself according to their idolatry."

If we have set up idols in our hearts, God will answer us according to those idols. In other words, He'll tell us what we want to hear. Why is that? Verse 5: "I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols."

This is what God did with Balaam. Balaam already heard God, but he came to Him for a different answer, one he wanted to hear, and God answered him according to his idolatry of wealth. Ezekiel 14:9 "And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him." Balaam's story ended badly, and he was eventually put to the sword as a soothsayer (Josh 13:22).

It is sobering to think that God will answer us according to our idols. I see this in so many areas as I interact with people. An idol can be your love interest, your healing, your ministry, your politics, your theology, or anything that becomes larger than Jesus in your vision. It's like looking at Jesus through cheap polarized sunglasses: only those things that fit your vision will squeeze through, and even then, it's very dim.

Prophetic words can be an idol. A prophetic word beyond my expectations and ability to handle can influence me when I seek the Lord for direction to the point that I make decisions that I'm not ready to handle. Relationships can be idols when the desire to connect with a particular person can be so strong that all we hear from the Lord is "yes." Ministries, churches, or leaders can be idols. We can be told what to think in ways that border cult behavior. Politics or pet doctrines can be idolatry when everything we hear gets filtered through a belief system built thorugh what we choose to focus on.

We must allow the Lord to root out whatever keeps us from seeing and hearing clearly. It's scary to think that we may just be hearing what we want to hear rather than getting that clear revelation from heaven.
