I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me life. Psalms 119:93
The teachings of Yeshua are life, and you do not understand this life until you know it, then you start to see the darkness you were in before you came to the light and life. No one talks about this, because none of the preachers of this world know this light. They will briefly discuss it or throw out a verse or two, but do it no justice, and they cannot do it justice because they never experienced this light.
This morning, the Lord was making a strong point about the world and the next life. Simply put, the men of this world (including all of us until you come to really know Yeshua) are focused on the things of the world. We might give a thought or two here and there about salvation and eternity, but our thoughts are focused on the here and now. This is how satan wants you to be, focused on everything except the Lord. If satan can keep your mind from hearing and obeying the Lord then he wins.
Maybe a big part of my focus on the things of God is because of my age and knowing the way these years just fly by anymore, knowing there are not many left. Changes my focus some. But not really, because the Lord reminded me of men much older than me and past life expectancy already. Guys like dr. fauci (which I hesitate to call him a doctor). Who is 80 plus and still making it all about money. Some will argue with me that he is a good man trying to help people, but the facts are there for anyone who wants to see that he is raking in millions by his research into viruses that were released, and the killer vaccines they made readily available. Fauci has a history of killing people with bad drugs, even the protocol drug they used in treating covid in the hospitals has over a 50% death rate. How could you even consider using something like that? They know this yet that was what they pushed for treatment, and when some doctors said invectrim was working they made horse jokes about it and made it clear any doctor using it would lose their license. However the success rate with invectrim is very good. But they do not allow you to use what works and require you to use what kills you? Does that make any sense to you?
Now to make the real point, obviously this man fauci has no fear of a righteous God, and his whole focus is on money and control and the things of this world. He is extreme obviously, but every human being is guilty of it and dies in it, unless you die unto yourself and are born again.
Even then it is a fight everyday to keep our minds on the things of God and off the world. I find myself even in the current state of no work. That I am fighting to keep my focus on the Lord and his truth. And then letting everything else come as it will. It is so easy to get snared into the thoughts and cares of this world. And in most of my conversation that is what it is about, the cares of this world. And really they come down to one of two things, fear or greed.
Most people are fearful and why they just do whatever the leaders say, because they do not want to die and they want to eat. So they make men leaders who promise them food and safety. Then they turn around and do things like fauci which kill you and twist it so it sounds like the ones who are dying are the ones who took invectrum and did not get the vaccine. It really amazes me looking from the outside in like God does to see how the man is so weak and is willing to follow thieves and murderers to their death thinking they are saving you?
Over and over I write about this one in different ways because it is the main thing God shows me. How the sheep follow the wolf. Or a steer going to the slaughter.
Who of us does not like to brag? We want our kids to be the sports star, the movie star, the doctor or lawyer… Or we want to be those things ourselves. In my life I have had a high level of success, working with professional actors, sports figures… My oldest daughter was Miss Iowa and on tv, engaged to a pro basketball player. But these things are nothing to me. In the future no one will even know who I am in, or was.
The way these years are flying by, my focus is on my eternity. I get rid of the thoughts of the world and bring them back to those of God. And I have learned to know when the things of God are also things of the world, because you cannot separate them. We must sleep and we must eat. We can do without a house to sleep in, as Yeshua had no place to lay his head. But we do have a need for money. And the interesting thing is my relationship with God has blessed us with money in abundance. Just like all the men of the bible who seeked God first. God gives the best wisdom for the best ways to make a living without being money and power first. He also makes it clear what do you need it for, and or how much is enough? Because men like fauci at 80 plus years old with millions of dollars. Why does he really need more of it? Especially at the risk of jail and going to hell when he dies? Men like him make no sense to me? And it makes no sense to me how he keeps getting away with it?
In my life I have started over like 10 times with new businesses. Always they were raised to the top when it was of him, however if I made the decision on my own it never worked. The ideas he gives me are amazing, but then again my focus is not on the opportunities, it is on the one who is giving me the opportunities. And at this stage of life it is not about making more wealth, it is about my eternity. The wealth or money is a non event. It is more about making sure I am doing what he expects and turning 4 talents into 8. Giving me not only salvation but a position in heaven of managing things for him because I have proved myself worthy.
Most preach this trash gospel of no works, like you cannot do anything pleasing to God. But the truth is he expects you to do works pleasing to him. And you can only do them when you know him and obey him. If you are building up your own little kingdom or life based on your own beliefs and knowledge, then those works no matter how good they are by worldly means. They will be evil and not profitable to you for eternity. They actually will be used against you in your judgment. You will not understand this now if you have not died unto yourself, but when you do, then this makes complete sense.
Are your works of righteousness in Yeshua? Or your own works of unrighteousness in your selfishness?
