Yeshua answered, “I am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35
Today I did one of the least favorite things I have to do from time to time, cross the border to the USA. We ordered some things I had to go and pick up, and I remembered why I dislike it so much. Sitting for almost 2 hours in line waiting to cross, wasting time and gas, and watching the people on the border. If a guy gives money to all those asking for money, he would be broke before crossing. You see all kinds, many without limbs, many with young kids, some really old ladies. You feel sorry for them, but should we?
Today was a little different because for those 2 hours I was meditating on what the Lord was showing me. Which was really two things. The first one was about how he expects us to be, and how we should expect others to be.
This one actually started out before I left home because my wife is not in the best mood, and it is interesting how she expects so much from me, yet does not want to reciprocate. Many times The Lord has shown me how we have to go the extra mile, take the slap on the face, yet not retaliate or expect the favors back. We are to give, yet expect nothing back.
Now here is the second part of this message, which is about what true love is, and how God is love but we do not understand his version of love so we do not understand God. The word love with God is more about respect than a mush feeling towards another person.
Keep in mind the bible many times tells us to not have anything to do with those who do not share the same faith. And in the old testament days, God told the Jews to kill the enemy most of the time including women and children. If God is love the way we think of love, then how could God command them to kill these people in cold blood?
If we substitute the word respect for love, we get a different message. Since the beginning God has respected our right to make our own decisions. But he has NEVER respected our works from our own decisions. They are evil and bad, each of us when we do it our way. You cannot even see it, because you think your works are good, maybe not perfect in Yeshua, but you are a good person. It is not until the Lord shows you who you are that you can start to understand his ways and how they are way above our ways. But more so, you start to see how your ways are evil when we think they are good.
A case in point, on the 1st we ran across a bunch of people marching for Maria de Gudalaupe. They do this every year from the 1st to the 8th which is the birthday of this Maria. All these catholics are marching and dancing and singing and thinking it is something special for the kingdom of God. Otherwise why would you take your time to walk miles and miles giving homage to this Maria. This is not the mother of Yeshua by the way.
Here is the thing, this is normal for catholics and they think it is godly and holy to do this. And I used to think the same when practicing catholicism. But if you read the ten commandments, the Father made it clear to never worship or pray to anyone other than him. No saints in heaven or on earth…
This is a perfect example of how we do our own works, many times because of the men leaders we prop up for ourselves who tell us what we want to hear. This whole idea or theology the catholics have is because of when the Greeks translated the bible, and some of the Roman emperors, and they changed a bunch of things. Including the name of the son from Yeshua to Jesus and then adding christ to his name to make him just another one of the many gods the Greeks worshiped. This was telling the people what they wanted to hear and not the truth. The word christ means a god in Greek.
I can go on and on about the things we do where we think it is good and God is happy or proud of what we did, when the truth is he hates it. So we think we are doing works to get into heaven when we are doing works which will take us further away from heaven.
Another point is in regards to the verse above. The catholic church pushes the idea that the bread of life is the little thing they eat at their mass. The eucharist. That as long as you eat this you are saved and going to be good with God. If you stop doing it then you have problems.
To feed on the Lord has nothing to do with a little piece of bread, it is to feed on his word, what he tells you to do, then do it. If you do, you will never hunger or thirst.
So here is the point, following Yeshua is both the easiest thing to do and the hardest at the same time. Getting rid of our own theologies and starting to trust in this little voice in your head which is trying to lead you into all righteousness is not easy, it takes a lot of faith. But once you accept it and do this, then it becomes easy. And even if you are physically hungry and thirsty, you are full.
When driving back to Mexico today, after a long day without drinking water, I was thirsty. And I remember many times growing up as a catholic, especially in sports. Where I was thirsty even when eating the eucharist. So either the son lied, or we took the message wrong. I know it is the second one, otherwise why would I get thirsty working out if at church I ate the “holy eucharist?”
One last point, to hopefully tie this all together for you. When walking in the ways of the Lord, expect people to step on you. Give them what you are supposed to give them, but also set your boundaries. Yeshua allowed the men to spit in his face, when he could have called on 7 legions of angels to destroy them. And he argued with the Jewish leaders about their theology and how it was wrong.
Point is he had his boundaries, yet he also went the second mile, turned the other check (actually many times over literally). Yeshua is the perfect example to follow, yet we are not to follow the example, we are to follow him. The example of what he showed is only to make it clear of what to expect in your own walk in this world. Because this world is extremely evil and getting worse daily. It seems the end is coming soon.
Which is an ongoing story. But one thing I see coming or possible soon, is the death of money. This is another story for another day. But keep vigilant. They are coming for your money and assets. They have a plan and it has been in motion since forever. Just like satan, the plan does not happen in a day or a week or year. It is ongoing, and plays out over a very long time.
To tie this in with the rest of the message today, is simply this. As the men of the world get worse in their ways. Which, I also read an article about that yesterday where they have some chemicals which are capable of making people more mean, and at the same time more obedient to the lie and bondage. These can be added even to our food so you have no idea you are even eating it.
Yeshua said “even the elect would not make it if that was possible.” Seems this and many other things are the reasons why. But imagine being made to obey the lawlessness of the evil one in the world instead of God? Well, if you do not know Yeshua like I do then you already are doing that.
But imagine if you are obeying Yeshua and they give you this chemical or drug without your knowledge. And it makes you want to worship the beast system and the devil instead of God? There is some scary stuff out there. And getting worse with every new step in knowledge man takes. With robotics and AI and surveillance systems they have. They are pushing this digital id thing and digital money, which I think is coming sooner than later. It seems with this huge upswing in metals, it will bankrupt the fiat money system as we know it, so if you are in dollar denominated investments, they go poof, or bye bye.
Even if you won stocks in a brokerage account it is gone with a simple computer or grid failure. Owning a real asset is the only chance we have to come out of what is coming, but even then will they do like they did in the 1930’s and confiscate your gold and silver? And make it impossible to make money in renting homes so you sell them all to the rich?
I just went off on another subject sort of, and could continue down that rabbit hole as well and have before and will again. But to make the point, again! Turn the other check, give the cloak off your back to them. Expect it of other people, especially the elite satanic people. They want it all and are going after it all. And if you fight it you will lose (although there are some things you can do to try to beat them). Expect them to come after it all and not give you anything except death for not obeying them. This is the will of God. He did it to his son and do not be surprised if it happens to you.
Obviously none of us wants this, and many have escaped this with a normal death. And maybe we escape it also. But even at a lower level expect to give and have people just keep expecting of you without giving anything back. This is a HUGE lesson to learn from God.
