Two things the Lord is showing me clearly the last few days. Both are about rebellion, rebellion against God and rebellion against the truth which is really the same as God is truth and anything else is a parietal truth and parietal ie, the exact mix of this depends on the person and situation.
As we move more and more into the end of times (in my and many other people’s opinion). The sheep are being separated from the goats. There is a huge rebellion against the truth which again means they are rebelling against God. They do not understand this, and many do not even know or believe in God to understand this or prophecy. Today I watched a video of a lady speaking on this subject and she said she feels sorry for the people. But when she said this, the same thing came to mind as has many other times, “have no pity for them.”
We have to remember we all have a choice to either submit to God and his perfect way and then live in it according to what he tells us, or we do not not do that. This is the biggest rebellion. This is the biggest percentage of people, exactly what percent, not sure but would guess it to be over 90%. Even those who are religious fall in this category. They have certain beliefs of God, but those beliefs are not right and they do not want to learn the truth.
I am going to make this point using a woman and her comments to me recently. When trying to give her advice, her response was “I do not need a coach.” Sometimes she tells me she does not need a dad telling her what to do. The interesting thing is I have always lived my life the opposite, I always seek the opinion of other people (of course those who have experience in the area I am seeking wisdom in). This does not mean I do what they say, because I have done that before and it backfired and created bigger problems. Because of my background as an athlete and then in sales. I have learned to learn from those with more wisdom than me. Including watching other people and learning from them without them even knowing I was studying them.
When going to one seminar on how to be better at sales, one statement stuck out to me, the trainer named Brian Tracy said, “if you want to be the best in your business, go to the ones who are the best, find out what they are doing and do the same as them.”
This statement is the opposite of rebelling. And in the end I always ended up doing better than most, and the reason why? Because I always watched more than one person, incorporating a combination of them all. And also watched the bad salesmen and saw what they did wrong. And then did a combination of all the above based on what I saw working best and more so what worked best with my style. Because we all have a certain style. Of course I NEVER played pro football like Reggie, so it is not like that. But I also out performed the vast majority of people in sports and in sales.
In sports I watched guys on TV, like Michael Jordan and many others. I watched their foot work, their ability to see the court, their ability to go left or right or pass… And I incorporated it in my game. However, some things did not work for me. I remember watching one of the best defensive ends ever named Reggie White for Green Bay. This man was a beast, he threw people out of the way while pass rushing. I tried the same, but my strength was not there to do it. But I found I could get good results by doing a swim move, where I ran at the tackle and at the last split second ducked around him. I had no strength to throw a 300 pound plus man out of the way like Reggie did.
On the other side of it, when I went to Junior college and played football, my coach was terrible. And then when I went to the 4 year college my position coach was a defensive back who got hurt and they put him as a defensive line coach. He had no idea of what he was doing. I did NOT follow their advice because it would have made me worse.
Same in sales when I came to Baja, and worked for the brokerage I worked for at first. In the sales meetings they would tell us how they thought it should be done. And sometimes they would ask me what I was doing, because I was doing half of the business they had with 8 agents. The second best agent doing 25% of my production. My response was simple, I am not doing what you are telling us to do. I basically am doing the opposite. It pissed off the owners and most of the agents rolled their eyes. They did not want to hear the truth, even with the results staring them in the eyes.
If you do not get the point, then I cannot help you anymore to understand.
But to tie it together, this is the difference between having outstanding success in life and with God and not. If you do “not need anyone to be your coach” then you will miss out and remain mediocre at best.
In the 15 or 16 years I have known this woman, she has seen my results in sales, and seen hers. She makes up excuses in many ways for not being as successful as me. But yet instead of humbling herself to learn from me, she says “she does not need a coach.” And that is why she remains on a lower level. I am always seeking wisdom from the best, and my results because of this have always been the best. I have a secret weapon that most do not, which is a teacher who is the best, no one better. His name is Yeshua, he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. His wisdom is way above the rest, most no matter how successful they are, never tap into his wisdom. And they ignore his voice.
There is a verse which says they are always learning but never able to come to an understanding… And from such stay away. This is why,
Looking at my real estate career here in Baja, it is one of the reasons I went solo, because it made no sense to keep making money for someone else who did not want to hear the truth of why I was making them so much money.
The second group of people are even worse. They not only do not need a coach, they want only to have a system or god who simply gives them everything they want. I am watching more and more this push for a socialist government world wide, which is coming according to the bible. The antichrist promises peace, the system is promising to give you everything. And for a while they will until they have those people hooked on the system, but then the system will turn on them and destroy them. As will God.
How does this happen? Because they do not need a coach, nor do they seek one. Instead what they want is someone who is going to give them everything they want for free. Many times I have written about (because Yeshua has shown me it) John chapter 6 and how he fed the 5,000 men plus women and children. And how they loved him one day because he fed them. And left him the next because he did not feed them.
The narrow mindedness of the people today is about what will you do for me today. And not about what is the right way to live. Living for your selfishness always results in a bad way. But seeking to live your life in a way to benefit everyone always results in a good way. Yeshua said you will know them by their fruit, this is what he was speaking of. Are you a giver or taker? Are you doing things to help everyone or expecting things that benefit only you and or a few at the expense of others?
This is the interesting thing of the perfect way in God. When we seek his perfect way and not our own selfish way, it turns out best for everyone. God’s ways are righteous and perfect and no one else’s is. Yeshua told the disciples he was going to make them fishermen of men. Why? Because they were fishermen. He told me he was going to make me a coach of men, why? Because I was a coach. Same thing, different example. But in both examples it comes back to the same thing, leading people to the great coach or teacher, Yeshua!
So here is the point to sum this message that Yeshua is teaching me. We all need a coach, we all need to humble ourselves and stop being selfish and demanding others to pay for our living. Socialism is NOT the way. Nor is capitalism the way it is living out. The only perfect way is in hearing and obeying Yeshua. Being extremely rich does not get you into heaven, actually the opposite, the more you worship money the further away from heaven you get. The love of money is the root of all evil. Which includes expecting others to pay for you living while you waste your life away being lazy. As mentioned in another day, the story of the talents comes to mind, which ironically (well not so ironic as Yeshua always teaches like this, bringing the same message over and over and over until he drills his point into your thick skull).
The lazy servant represents anyone who is socialist in beliefs. Because no one gets into heaven by being lazy and expecting others to pay their way in life.
Along the same lines but to make a point about this. I got into a debate (or argument if you will) about this subject. It was a group of socialist pushing free health care and other free stuff at the expense of who? It is no different than the 5,000 men plus women and children coming to Yeshua expecting him to feed them every day, while they sit around and listen to him and let the message go in one ear and out the other.
But let’s bring this up to date and more so regarding this debate about free health insurance. Me and my family have gone without health insurance for over 10 years now. We have had claims, my son we paid cash for which cost us $3,000 (but included 2 nights in the hospital in a single room for my wife with two doctor working on her plus the baby doctor and a c section birth). In the US this would have been $50,000. So over the years we have saved around $250,000 dollars in premiums and spent maybe $5,000. It was an educated choice because I know that we eat healthy and take care of ourselves and do the right things. We will not have the health problems the rest of you face who eat the trash they give you. We also do not go out at night partying (like many do and I used to do before knowing Yeshua). Here I am on a Friday night listening to God while watching the sunset over the ocean and writing this, instead of at a bar drinking and listening to music. Do you get the point, I do not do things that would cause us to have a need for health insurance. Yes there is always the possibility of a one in a million accident in the middle of the day that cost us. But it is worth that risk especially being I know Yeshua is my provider and makes it clear I do not need health insurance.
So here is the point, not mine but that of God. Why should a man like me, who listens to the coaches of the world and especially him. Who does the right things and does not spend money on health insurance so he then can build up some wealth (along with many other things like never driving new cars with a big car payment, never running a balance in credit cards….) My main car is a 2012 with 208,000 miles on it and I bought it used and it was an accident car. We paid $10,500 dollars in cash, instead of a new one which would have been $35,000 on terms. It has given us 150,000 plus miles without problems, same as a new one would have.
Here is the thing, these people demand free everything from the government or whoever. They bought a brand new car, bought starbucks coffee everyday, have the newest iphone and guchi sunglasses, go to happy hour, eat trash and never work out to keep their health…. And they want guys like me who worked hard, take care of our health by eating right and exercising, made sacrifices to get ahead, and did without health insurance… And they want me to pay for their health insurance? That does not sound righteous to me. Nor does it sound righteous to God.
This is the point of the story of the talents, the ones who did something with it and expected nothing from the master were righteous and welcome into the Kingdom, and those who wasted their talents and demanded free stuff were thrown into the fiery pit. The governments of this world push the second, but you have to ask why? The reason is because they want total control as it is not the government pushing it but the money people who bought the government. They know by convincing the poor that the rich (which the rich excludes them and eliminates the middle class) should pay for their livelihood. This system is set up for the elites to not be a part of giving up their wealth, it is the middle class like me who will lose out while they pocket all the wealth (just like prophecy). Yet the working poor push it like it is the best way. They do not understand what is coming. The interesting thing is most religions also push this.
Back to the video I saw today, because this was her main message, everything is a lie. Something I have said many times. When you think of it, there are only a few things we really are concerned about. Feeding ourselves and having a good life, living the lifestyle of the rich and famous without doing the work to get it. Many of you probably do not remember that ongoing tv series back in the 70’s. The second thing they want is their health without doing anything to get it. Like working out and eating healthy. The last thing they want is salvation, again without working out anything, just a free gift.
This is the point and the problem. We want things without doing any work, and that is not of God. God created us to need to work and need a coach, which the ultimate coach is him. The human nature rebels against God in these ways, and because of this God does not have anything to do with them, and when they die they go to hell because they refuse the light or wisdom of God to live a life in a way according to his will and not selfish.
And the worst thing is most people then instead of repenting when the problems come from living this selfish life, they basically double down on their selfishness and either demand God fix their problems while they stay the same, or they curse God.
In revelations it tells us clearly the men instead of repenting when the plagues come, they curse God. I see this these days, especially from the “christian” world. The truth is right there staring them in the face in writing in the bible which they claim is the word of God, but they do exactly what it says they will do. How do they not see this? How do the lazy selfish people demand others pay for their free health insurance and food?
And then on top of it, I am the one who gets called names. This week I was told I am not their coach. I was told I am a F—ing idiot. I was told I am ignorant or stupid… Why? Because I do not follow the message of this corrupt world which is a lie. And that lie is so in our face as being a lie yet the people either ignore it because someone tells them it is truth and they believe them because that person has a degree. Or they are so focused on feeding themselves and getting other free stuff and building up wealth at the expense of others because money rules them, that they sell themselves and us who do things right out. There are what they call paid influencers out their who use their position on social media to push the agenda to in some cases make big money. One guy I listen to about health said because of his influence on youtube he would be apid up to $500,000 to do one video if he pushed the agenda of the elite instead of the truth. Luckily he has not sold his soul. But the point is we must be careful because these people throw lies to us as truth so we believe the lie, just like Paul wrote.
And these lies are more than just about your health, your wealth and your salvation. They are about every aspect of your life. I look at the messages out there and most everyone is pushing an agenda which is not of God. The religions are the worst, because they should be speaking the truth, but do not. I have not found one single bible based church speaking truth, pushing us towards knowing and obeying Yeshua. They do not even call the son of God by his right name more or less to make disciples of the son.
But on top of it they have poisoned our food, our water and the air, the three things we need to survive. I know why God moved me to where we live in front of the ocean and out of the US. Our air quality is the best, our food can be trash like anywhere but it is easier to find real food. And the water is filtered and without any chemicals. We also were told to build a home in another spot where there is the same, except water and food in abundance. And the Lord has given us the ability to make the money to fund it.
Which brings us back to the same point, are you seeking God and the government for what they can and will give you for free? Or are you seeking for righteousness and do things or your works in righteousness so you do not need free things from God and a government?
What is your attitude on life? One puts you on the track to life ever lasting in God and the other to hell.
