How happy are those whose way of life is blameless, who live by the Torah of Adonai! How happy are those who observe his instruction, who seek him wholeheartedly! They do nothing wrong but live by his ways. Psalms 119:1-3
The Lord, as usual, continues to show me along the same lines, showing me a little deeper the truth. This lesson is as much about you and me walking the line between being of use and doing the right things to obtain 10 talents from the 5 given. As well as not glorifying yourself and being boastful as if it was you who did it, but instead having Godly confidence and giving him the glory. Because as David wrote above, we need to live according to the ways of Adoni, and not of the world.
And the second part of the lesson, which is being taught to me because of the attitudes of so many people these days of expecting something for nothing by the government or whoever. I have this ongoing debate with a few people down in Zihua Guerro, using Zihua facebook page and they seem to only post about how wrong trump is and the US needs to be socialism to fix the problems.
As said many times using the example of the 5,000 men plus women and children from the story of John chapter 6. The ways of God are amazing if you do what he expects, hear him and obey him and obey his torrah or laws. These laws are for your benefit not to harm you. And unlike much of the preaching these days, we can obey 100% of the time. But in order to do so we MUST be one with the Spirit of God, it is his Spirit or seed (as John put it in 1 John 3) that is in us if we are truly born again. If it is, then the fruit you bear is worthy because you will uphold the law, not because you try really hard, but because the nature in you is a new nature and is of God. No man can understand this until they really have received the Spirit of God. Then you understand and see it in others, or can see where the others fall short. It is very evident.
So to change the subject a bit, these people on a Mexico facebook page, some of which are from Canada are debating or pushing the agenda of satan and socialism for the US. That in and of itself makes no sense. I live in Mexico for a reason, which is because I see the US has over done it and is socialistic already and getting worse. Trump and his tariffs and then his big beautiful bill is as socialistic as it comes, increasing taxes and increasing spending which then is benefiting a few.
This new budget deal they seem to have come to terms with also is socialism in nature and shows the true colors also of socialism. In it, the congressmen made it where they get paid no matter what, and even supposedly put some wording in it to give extra money to a few of the congressmen. I do not know the specifics or if it is even true, but even if it is a lie, this type of thing is done over and over and there is significant waste or over charging for government programs which then goes into the pockets of the extremely rich. Socialism at its finest and why the government elected officials are pushing it instead of staying with a democracy and capitalism approach. They are amongst the rich and benefiting from it. Playing into the end of times prophecy. So why do these people go along with this ideology?
One of two reasons, first is that they have the same mentality as the 5,000 men, which is they expect everything for free, they just have to follow the leader who provides it. Or they are what is now emerging, which is a paid influencer. Many of the people you see over and over on social media have followings, and the powers in control see they have influence. So they are working deals with them to push their agenda as truth and the masses of people believe them. Some of them get like $500,000 dollars for just one post if the following is high enough.
But no one is paying the influential people who post the truth, because those people are going against the agenda. Those people are said to be spreading misinformation.
So how do we know the truth? By looking at the fruit you are bearing, in other words, the results. Are you growing what you have been given and making 1 into 2, or 2 into 4 or 5 into 10? Or are you hiding the one you have and then the Lord taking it away and giving to the one who has 10? Those men who followed Yeshua and expected free food everyday the rest of their life went away disappointed. That is NOT the way of God, nor is free health care, free food, free daycare, free train rides…
The way of God is for each of us to do our part and do it in an unselfish way without being puffed up. And sharing with the oneness down on their luck. Today’s social system is abused big time. Most of the people collecting food stamps for example are very capable of working, but don’t because why should they when the food and roof over their head and health care is free? The same with the 5,000 in John 6, they were very capable of making their own way and being a positive for society, but chose to be lazy instead. Again as Paul wrote “if you do not work, you do not eat.”
Let’s put this into motion on one point. The free health care point. Over the past 10 plus years, my family has NOT had health insurance. We choose to save the $20,000 per year premium instead. Most see that as foolish because of the risk. But is it? Because first of all costs in Mexico are pennies on the dollar as compared to the US. Second my wife cannot cross so if I insure her at those extreme high costs, what good does it do her? Third, we remain very healthy eating correctly and drinking correctly. We are considered extreme to many people, but then I watch them and they are unhealthy and fat, which go hand in hand.
As a side note, this morning I was reading an article which was speaking of a new syndrome as they called it. Which is that people who are fat and also have heart issues, kidney issues, liver issues…. Have a higher possibility of heart attacks. Go figure? Their point was they have doctors who treat each issue separately because they specialise in that area. For example one a heart doctor, another the kidneys…
But here is the truth, they do not want to fix the problem, the health system wants to feed it and make it worse, putting the people on more and more meds. Because this is the simple cure, change your diet. Stop eating trans fats, and sugar and start eating real foods again.
Many times I have used our own family as examples, my dad being the best example of all. He had many of these health issues when he came to Iowa. We changed his diet and now he is not fat and he no longer takes 8 meds. Now only really one for pain as it hurts to sit in a chair all day everyday because of his stroke.
But he no longer has diabetes, blood pressure issues, is not fat so the pain is not as bad either and he can move much better. Before he was in and out of the hospital a lot, around 3 times a year, over a 5 year time frame. Since coming here and losing weight, not once has he been in the hospital nor even considered it.
Before he was costing the medical system 100s of thousands of dollars in both medication cost and health care. Not to mention paying $10,000 a month for care. Now he costs the system $0. Not a penny. The meds he still takes we pay cash for, and we reduced his monthly cost to $3,000 per month.
The difference? When my sister was in charge of my dads health, she did it the US way and had bad results based on the US way. I did it God’s way and have had the best results you can expect. I did not cost the system and other people a penny. This is what God expects, to do it right, to understand how the world system is robbing you of your health, wealth and soul.
So one last point, and back to the decision to go without health insurance all these 10 plus years. If the government puts in free health care for people. And I am going without saving money and investing it. Along with driving older cars that were in accidents instead of brand new with big car payments and higher insurance costs. Making our own food and coffee at home instead of spending a lot of money for starbucks and eating out, or buying trash. We do all these things and are blessed by God for doing it his way and have some wealth because of it. Where is my incentive to keep doing this if they keep raising my taxes to pay for the lazy ones who expect it all for free? And then create even more cost because they normally are the same ones eating trash and getting sick. If my taxes are going up and I cannot afford to pay my bills because of higher taxes and inflation going crazy because they are printing money like crazy. And they are taking from me to give to the fat lazy unhealthy people. What is going to be my benefit to go without health insurance and keep working hard? To pay other peoples health insurance and food bills while I barely get by or am starving to death? At some point I have no way out except to also get mine for free and let the system pay for me. And if everyone does this then who pays the bills?
Socialism can work for a short period of time because you have an open check book with a big line of credit, but in short order it fails. NY city is going to be a perfect example, this new mayor is as socialist as they come. And all the money people who are paying most of the taxes are leaving for states like Florida where there are no state income taxes, and a current governor who thinks more in line with them. So if all the tax payers are leaving and all the people sucking off the system stay. Where is the money going to come from to pay the bills? Because unlike the US government, NY cannot print money and get it from thin air. California is facing the same problems, the wealthy and even corporations are leaving CA to other states to not have to pay the bill for the lazy ones.
Now keep in mind, there are some out there trying to make a living and cannot make ends meet, more and more everyday and why? Because of the system printing money to pay more and more freebies to the lazy ones, which is driving up inflation and cost to live. Making the family man who used to be able to afford to put a roof over their heads and food on the table, no longer can. And these people push socialism, if successful. Will put the final nail in the coffin.
As an example, one time in my past when working as an investment advisor for a bank, I made good money. This was some 20 plus years ago, and I made over $200,000 dollars that one year. I did my own taxes and watched the government take over 55% of my money in taxes. The next year I was self employed and used the tax system to my advantage and saved a ton of money in taxes. The point is if they keep increasing taxes on the people, eventually you look and say “Why am I working this hard and giving it all to the government who then gives it to these people who are lazy so they can eat trash, get fat and cost me even more in taxes for health care they also do not pay for?
It is simple logic, anytime you give to people who do not deserve it, it makes them lazy. It is human nature. On the other hand if there is an incentive to do without and save money and grow assets, the person will do it. And the majority of those people will also make sure his neighbor is eating when they are down on their luck or maybe disabled and cannot work. I take care of my dad in many ways, doing many things for him. We also adopted 2 girls and give them a good loving home to grow up in, instead of an orphanage. We have done many other good things for people which cost us some of our time and money. We can do this because we do the other things right and no one is taking 55% of my money to give to the lazy unhealthy fat ones.
Now it is easy to point to the US system and call it capitalism and say “see, it does not work.” But it is not the capitalism which is not working. It is the opposite. The system worked fine for 150 years, and then Wilson put in the federal reserve and a few years later we had the great depression. Then they started income taxes, put in social security and medicare, took everyone’s gold and then revalued it which dropped everyone’s net worth by 30% plus in a day. And eventually took the US off the gold standard which since then the dollar has lost around 98% of its value through inflation. A real capitalist system would not have set up social security and medicare (which are socialist systems). They would not print money to pay for other socialistic things like food stamps and free health care. Do you get the point? As the law makers add things to the system which are communism or socialism in nature, yet still call the system capitalism. And it is destroying the real underlying system. They are lying to us, and the purpose is to destroy the current system and replace it with a one world order to control it all. AI will be a BIG catalyst for this to happen, taking many jobs. It is already happening and accelerating.
So two points if you’re reading this. First is, come to know how to work the system against itself the same way the elites do. They have loopholes for their advantage, use them. And more so seek the wisdom of God, because what good does it do to gain the whole world and lose your soul? You can gain wealth and success without God, but it is so much better with God and then you will not lose your soul with your own efforts. YOu will do it with humility and self sacrifice which gives you a satisfaction you cannot explain. Along with the other fruits of the Spirit, peace, joy, love, paitents… The Lord knows the system better than anyone, he will give you wisdom to understand it and work it also.
