In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarrelling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same. Romans 1:28-32
The first part of this verse stands out as does the last part. In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.
I ask you to tell me where is this saved by grace doctrine that Paul supposedly taught in this verse? And this is not the only time he said something along these lines, it is actually all throughout his teachings, yet we twist a few verses and things he says to plead our case to allow us to keep sinning and applaud the others who do the same.
The Lord reminded me of a conversation I had years ago with my brother who is gay. He talked about following the Evangelical church system, at least the division of the one that says being gay is ok, and ignoring all the teachings like the one above from Paul, and pushing this idea that God is love (according to their idea of what love is). And a loving god would never put a person in hell. There god is an accepting god of whoever you are it seems?
But the truth is the truth. And the Love of the true living God, and not a made up one who satisfies their sinfulness. He demands two things. Obedience and discipline to follow that obedience to what he says. Yes he gives you the choice to disobey, he is not a God of force. But if you choose not to obey, you will stay in your sin and be separated from him. These are two different things all coming down to the same two things. Obedience and discipline in order to obey.
If you choose to not hear him and obey him and his light, then the condemnation is upon you and you will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God and will go to hell. Most cannot understand this because they do not know God, they know their version of a god who never existed. A god who makes love about things other than what true love is. So they can make their ways good in their mind with God. But again this god does not exist.
The real God knows with the help of the Holy Spirit any man can overcome sin, no matter who you are and what you have done. Love in the eyes of God is to show you this life which will give you an amazing life here on earth, and salvation. Who of us does not try to teach our kids how to have a good life because we love them and want what is best for them? Well actually these days it seems not so many want this anymore. So many people having sex, getting pregnant and not wanting the kid, preferring drugs or whatever instead. So many birth parents do not want their kids, could care less about them and see them as a bother instead of a blessing.
The hope is if you are that sick and deranged, that you at some point have something so bad happen to you that you turn from this sin and repent and come to know the Lord. The interesting thing is most true followers of the Messiah come from this group, not the group who is so called “good” parent. The good parents are able to teach their kids how to do things at least to a fairly agreeable level with the truth, not total truth, but along the lines of it.
There is still sin in their lives, but not the real dysfunction that comes with being all the way there like many people today on drugs and pushing themselves or being lovers of themselves like they do on facebook and other social media.
Which is another part of what Yeshua showed me. Many think that social media is what God was talking about as lovers of themselves. But it is not. Them putting all this stuff about how great their life is, many trying to make themselves look better than they are. Is a result of loving themselves instead of loving God. They do not know God and they do things their own way, which is disrespect to God and not love. And do things their own way so they love themselves and not God. In God’s eyes love is obedience to the truth and best way to live, and that is only possible with the Lord as your Lord, Yeshua. And with the helper the Holy Spirit correcting you when you are wrong, and then showing you the right way to do it.
This brings me to the next point, as there are many Yeshua made to me in the last 2 days. And that is how he works. As an example he told me to move to Mexico some 16 plus years ago. His message was simple, “move here.” Everytime I asked he said this same thing, “move here.” He did not tell me why, or what he was going to do with my life here in Baja, he just said “move here.”
I obeyed, and then little by little he keeps showing me why he moved me here. Even yesterday with some worldly things happening he showed me why. And that was with Mexico and food. Mexico is an exporter of many things, we export more than we import, which is a very good thing. The USA is the opposite, they import more than they export.
Real money is in commodities not a dollar bill or peso. Those are fake money and simply an IOU for the real money. If you do not have enough of the real money as a person or country, then you are in trouble. With the main two things being water and food. Metals and other things in the ground like uranian and litho are extra important also as we move towards battery operated things like electric cars and solar and AI or robotics. The country that controls these things will be the next super power, and they will not accept fake money like a dollar for these things. They will expect real money or commodities. Land, food, water, silver and other metals, and anything to produce cars, AL, robotics, solar… China is positioning themselves to be that country, their belt and road initiative seems like a good thing for other countries and it helps for sure. But it enslaves these countries also to China. China’s cheap labor over the years helped other countries like the US and its corporations sell stuff like Iphones for a lot less money, a win win. But it handcuffed the US to them, because now they control something like 60% of the world’s supply for these things.
Mexico will NOT be the next world power like China can be. But Mexico does have what is needed to remain a good place to live as long as the government does the right things, which currently is debatable. I see many things they are doing which is taking the wealth out of the pockets of the people and putting it in the hands of the few corrupt government people. And those who control them. I do however like my chances here in Mexico than the USA, and will remain here unless the Lord tells me “move here” again to somewhere else. I do believe he will move us again but not out of Mexico but deeper down south where few people live and it is full of food and water. He already told me to buy a property there and we did. And have built a home mostly done.
As a side note and a teaching for another day, because as of now I do not see the message completely and clearly. But this place and or the really bad days ahead of us to make us to move there. It is for our good. Personally I do not want to live there full time, it is hot and rains everyday in the summer. The weather is nothing like the perfection here in Rosarito Baja. I would prefer to live in the ranch we bought close to us here. But the point or short message is God keeps showing me to make life simple and how when we live in this world, teaching our kids according to this world, it is why we have the problems we have with the kids no matter how we teach them or what we show them.
This morning the Lord reminded me of a story which ties into this. The story tells of a man who sees a fence with God on one side and the devil on the other. He wants to be right with God, but he also likes many things the devil allows him to do. So he has a delima. He decided to sit on the fence thinking he can still do the things of God, and enjoy the sinful things of satan. And then satan takes him and tells him he owns the fence.
The obvious point is you are either all in with God or you are not his. And how you choose to live your life will keep you on the fence. God does not want you on the fence; he wants you in his Kingdom.
The other problem is the family and you seeing these things and trying to move towards the Kingdom and off the fence, but then not wanting to do it because it is HOT in the place you know you are supposed to live and beautiful where you currently live on the fence. Plus your friends and family all live here where it is not so hot. Living here where it is not so hot is not sin in and of itself, but it keeps you out of his Kingdom and on the fence.
The point is I see us moving someday out of necessity because of real problems with food and water and other commodities. But it is also for the good of getting off the fence completely.
Keep in mind the reason the Lord allows you on the fence or in the kingdom of satan, is to show you how the world works. And then when you start to listen and obey God, and he tells you to “move here” and you do. Then you start to see and understand how you were on the fence and out of his Kingdom. Unless you did things evil in the sight of the Lord, you most likely will never see the difference. Like moving here to Baja and the perfect weather. When in Iowa where the weather would be the last reason you would move there. You cannot fathom being like spring weather 365 days a year. And my wife and kids living here cannot fathom what it is like in the middle of the winter at 70 below zero with windchill. They know the heat we get in Iowa because of vacations to places like where this ranch is, as it is the same. But the cold, they have no idea. We must experience it to understand.
Next point, why would we choose to change if we did not know how good it can be on the other side? I lived in Iowa for 45 years, and had no plans to change. The weather never affected me, it was a part of life. I was numb to it.
But now after living here in Baja with about as perfect of weather as you can get. I would never want to live in Iowa again. The heat in south Mexico is doable, not desirable, but doable. My preference is to remain where it is perfect. As I am writing this they are having seriously hot days all over the world, records. And here it is hotter than normal, but there is a nice breeze off the ocean and it is going to be mid 70’s today and getting back to the low 80’s by this weekend. We do not have air conditioning and do not need it.
But more so I see air conditioning as a health issue, where fresh air off the ocean is a health issue for the good, nothing better for your lungs and system.
I can go on and on about this, but the point is when you obey the voice of God, when he tells you simple little things like “move here.” And you obey him, then he shows you why over time, and you start to see how it all affects your health both mentally and physically which then affects your Spirituality so you jump out of the kingdom of satan, off the fence and into the Kingdom of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit and the truth and way of Yeshua. This is something you cannot do in your own way, it has to be in his way with him instructing you of the way you should go both in physical location, as well as mental location.
As said before many times, I can share with you what Yeshua has shown me, but his plans for you and his way of teaching you is not the same as how he did it with me. You cannot learn it from me and enter into the Kingdom of God, you must learn and enter into the Kingdom of God through him by obeying his words to you or his teachings and revelations to you.
There are many other things he showed me, but the main point is this. Here him and move when he says move. Do what he says to do. And stop hanging out of like minded people who accept your sinful life as OK and try to make it good with God. Otherwise God will send you the strong delusion so you believe the lie and live in it and firmly in the kingdom of satan. God will give you what you ask for, however there is one thing the does not give to anyone, which is the decision to remain in the sinful kingdom of satan doing evil works. And also give you salvation to heaven. This doctrine is a lie, and it is the whore church system which is basically what every church teaches in one way, shape or form.
The other form of religion I see taught is obedience, but not to the voice of God and his Spirit, but to their word, the bible. Doing their best to obey the law, which they cannot and will and do fall short. So in the end they still accept the sin in their life, and support others who do the same, unless it is a certain sin they would never do. Then they probably would have a problem with that person. And in the end this group of so called believers, and they are believers in a different religion than that doctrine that Yeshua brought along with his new covenant. Paul wrote clearly we are not under the law anymore and trying to obey the Law will not work, you will fall short. But he did not leave it all the way there either where because of this we must rely on grace and not worry about our sin. He made it clear the option Yeshua brought which is obedience not to a law or person, but obedience to him and his Spirit, and they will lead us into all righteousness as long as we hear him and obey him.
This last part is the new covenant, and it is left out completely from every church I have ever gone to. And it is the MOST important part, you cannot live the Good life in Yeshua and have salvation without this part.
This teaching is a little bit all over the board, but not really as it all ties together. As Paul wrote “with man it is not possible, but all things are possible with God.” This is exactly what he was writing about. You cannot do it with men teachers or their doctrinal ways. YOu can only do it in God, hearing and obeying. Then you can do anything. Even like him raising the dead back to life and healing people. This is teh thread that ties all the teachings Yeshua shows me together, hear him and obey him and his commands and revelations to you.
