The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7
As I watch the going on in this world and all the problems, which are man caused and in my opinion intentional. And then watch the normal man sit around and beg for more of the craziness. I have even seen people, friends say to just print more money and give us more free stuff. There is a BIG push for free government health care. On top of all the other free things the government gives. And when we look at places like New York city and the recent mayor voting, a true socialist and maybe even communist won by a landslide.
The reason why is simple, free stuff, a promise of taking from the wealthy and giving it to the poor. ANd he is holding true to his promise as he has given new programs and increased the tax on the wealthy. However, here is the problem. The wealthy are leaving and moving to other states which are not taxed like Florida and Texas. Same in California, most of the wealthy including major corporations have packed their bags and left the state.
So then who is left to pay the bill for all this free stuff? Because the states cannot print money like the fed can.
And this is the problem with the fed printing money, they must have someone willing to finance them, although in the last few years other countries have been selling the US debt and the buyer is the federal reserve and pension funds and insurance companies and big banks. How does it make sense to loan money to yourself? Because this is basically what the US is doing. And who gets this interest?
But this is the bigger problem, the dollar is not in demand like it used to be, and when this ship sinks it will sink slowly at first and then pick up steam and drop quickly. Just like every other country has gone through. This causes serious inflation, like Venezuela where they had 3,000% inflation one year. In other words an apple costing $1 dollar this year will cost $3,000 next year. Most of the people are already seeing BIG increases in the cost of living in everything from food, to insurances, utilities. Pick a subject and it is most likely up significantly in cost.
This is what happens when you try to take money from one person and give it to another by force, which taxation is by force. And the interesting thing is the elites who run these governments and make these decisions. They do not pay taxes because of the structure of the tax system they set up. Or if they cannot set up the laws to their advantage, they simply move to a palace where they can.
But the normal person does not see these things, they only care about free stuff and can not understand why their cost are up so much where they cannot even pay their bills any more. When things were good they spent their money foolishly on new cars, vacations, restaurants, starbucs… And now they are stuck with the credit card debt because of living above their means. They are upside down on their car payments, and many not making them. Foreclosures on homes is increasing again with indications it will be worse than 2008.
But why do the elite do this? Because in the mind of the normal guy, and the spin the media and elites put on it. We are all in the same boat and they are losing money also. But are they?
The short is no they are gaining a lot in bad times. They know how to invest the money and move it around for their advantage. They also set things up so they are liquid or short the market so when it goes down the make money and come back in buying up the assets at a big discount. For example Warren Buffet, a billionaire who made his money investing. He is sitting on 300 billion plus dollars waiting for the crash to buy up stocks. Not the first time he has done this.
These people do NOT get their wisdom from fear of the Lord. They are the reason for it and they get their knowledge from their god satan. We cannot look past epstien and the things he and the people with him, mostly elites and politicians and stars, movie stars and singers. What they do is satan worship.
Yet the normal man does not see it and keeps asking for more of the same which they think will change their life for the better, when the results prove over and over it is getting worse not better. But then most people have no fear of Adonia and therefor no wisdom to understand this.
The religions keep us from the fear of God and the wisdom which comes from it. They show us a very friendly god who simply is there to give us free stuff and bless us. One who does not expect us to change or do anything.
This morning the Lord put it heavy on my mind about this. Because I see the religious people who go through life thinking they have salvation, having a form of godliness but denying him his power. Some of them know God and hear him, but they hear only the things they want to hear from him. The things which make their life more favorable in their eyes, and believe the little lies from their religious church system which tells them everything is fine and you can believe the little lie and still follow God at your convenience. God will overlook the little things and be OK with them and you.
This shows a real lack of fear of Adonai. And they do not see how it affects them. And in most cases they do not put 2 and 2 together to know the reason it is not working out to their advantage is because of their belief system and real lack of fear of Adonai.
I have lived two different lives, my first 45 years more or less in the flesh with no fear of Adonai, playing the religious game we all play. Even atheists play a religious game, one of a belief there is no god. But it is still a belief. And I suffered many of the same problems most people face, making the same mistakes many make like financial and with my health and family relationships.
The last 16 plus years I have been doing things according to Yeshua and I no longer make these same mistakes. And because of it we are not suffering the same problems as most suffer. Nor do we expect free stuff from the government. On the contrary, we want no government or at least limited.
One example of wisdom and how it plays out. Free health care. Here is the problem with it. First I do not do things like the rest of you when it comes to my health. We do not see doctors to put us on meds and follow their crazy medical system. If we were on a medical policy we would have to follow their rules which are not working out well at all, just look around you and see all the health problems and fat people.
Which brings up the second point, why would I want to have my taxes increased, or the national deficit grow by even more causing even more inflation, which either way it cost you, it is never free. And then have these lazy fat people who have no fear of God using it and getting sicker from the system, and it is me paying the price for them!
We have saved a LOT of money over the past 10 plus years not having health insurance. Probably over $200,000 dollars. There are many other ways we saved a lot of money verses my old life, and the way most people live. For example cars, we drive older cars and pay cash, this saves on insurance cost and no interest paid. Normally the cars were in an accident and we got them for a deep discount.
My last car we just put to rest had 200,000 plus miles on it, we had it for 6 years bought it for $10,500 dollars cash. In my old days I would drive a brand new car every 2 to 3 years because I would lease them, they cost me a fortune and much higher car insurance.
My best guess is we saved another $200,000 plus because of cars, but as much so we are not upside down in a car payment and wondering how we are going to pay the extremely high insurance. We also live in Baja Mexico where we do not have the same insurance problems.
Our home also, we bought a modest one some 15 years ago, had a 3 ½ year mortgage or loan from the sellers. We could have bought one much nicer and got a 30 year mortgage to keep the payment down like most do and I did back in my day. But we did not do that. This also saved us around $500,000 dollars in interest.
Do you get the point and idea? It is a lack of wisdom and following the world and elites way that cost us so much and it puts a lot of money in their pockets. They are the ones who profit when you have a loan, when you use health insurance. When you buy that new car and pay the high insurance cost…
The fear of the Lord and his wisdom, shows you how the evil works so you can do everything possible to not cooperate. But we prefer a god we do not have to fear, and one that gives us all kinds of free stuff and is not bossy, telling us what to do.
As for me, I fear the Lord and obey him. And in doing so the blessings come, and I do not have the stress so many people these days do of how am I going to pay the bills and still put food on the table?Wisdom
