Thus keep yourselves in God’s love, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to give you the mercy that leads to eternal life. Jude 1:21 CJB
Do you wait for the Lord, or are you impatient like me? The Lord is showing me two things today, which are intertwined. They are waiting for him, and thinking we are moving forward with the Lord in his will, but do something and it does not turn out the way you expect so you take a step back and again, WAIT on the Lord.
It is a process, and it is difficult at times, because you get so sure he is telling you to do something, you do it only to find out there is something stopping you. What you allowed to run through your mind is not how it really is. Or sometimes it is like that and the evil one sends roadblocks to stop you.
This is the difficult part of following Yeshua, and when in doubt of where you are going or what you are doing. Do nothing, not until you get clear vision from him to move forward.
In my past I have made bad decisions simply because I acted on my own. Most of the time based on my religious ideology taught to me by men. Thinking it equaled God, because the men teachers show you things in a way that we think they are the leaders we follow to get to God. This is the third point God made to me today. Making it clear your religious beliefs about who God is do not count, it is who God is and if you hear him and obey that counts.
In the past week I had a conversation with one of my neighbors, she was questioning me about a few things and we exchanged conversations. She responded to me that my God was different from hers. To which I responded, my god in the past before I knew him was different from the God I now know as well.
Until you get to know God and what he wants, any god you follow or religion will not get you into heaven nor will you know who he is and what he wants and expects from you. I can give many examples, but when I do, people argue and throw a few verses at me to make their point (which interestingly enough normally makes my point, but because they are blind the verse feeds their theology, not the truth.
I know how it works because I was the same before I started to hear God and obey him. Then it all started to change, little by little. Which is another point God made this morning. He reminded me of his teaching to me of walking up a mountain, and part of it was because yesterday we went hiking. Everyone went up to higher levels except me, I blew out my hiking boots. I was also comfortable where I was and saw some beautiful things.
And that is the point, we get comfortable with a few things God changes in us. Like maybe we were drug or alcoholic addicts and stopped. Our lives are much better than before but it does not mean we are perfected in Yeshua and made Holy. Most people stop at this level and call it good, while God is calling us to higher levels where we will see much more clearly. Similar example to where we now live, high up on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Each time we have moved we end up with better views and see more. It is like this Spiritually if you keep going with God even if your boots blow out.
If you do this, then you start to see God for who he is and not what you have been taught about him. And you see just how different he is and know our religious version of him is wrong. This is true with 100% of you no matter what religious god you follow. Knowing God and knowing what some men teach you about a god of the bible is completely different 100% of the time and why we have so many religions and versions of the bible.
Back to the neighbor, she was trying to support her other neighbor who I am having problems with. The man who threatened to kill me and my family, broke an entry, is stealing electricity, has bad-mouthed me to the point of defamation of character… And she pulled up my past from online. And two things she pointed out, first how I had to pay a $500 fine because I did not give a perspective to a client when they bought a variable annuity from me. The complaint came from the agent I replaced the annuity from and not the client. The client brought me the annuity and wanted me to invest it because of other investments we had doing well. And she made one other point about a buyer I had who said I screwed him.
The point is, in her mind or point of view, I am supposed to just pretend this man did nothing to me and let it be. So I made the point back, first of all what I did was not serious nor deceitful. And the man who claimed I screwed him was wrong. He bought 3 lots from me and we were partners in it, and when things did not go as expected he got upset and basically kicked me out, giving me the option to be bought out or buy him out or else he would make issues for me, which he did anyways. In the end I do not see how he got screwed because he bought 3 lots at about 30% of fair value. Which is why we did them.
Anyways the point is how do we change the details to try to equal things? Because they are not equal. Because the first point is I paid the price for my mistakers, this guy has not. And all my trespasses I have repented for, this man has not. And his sins are much bigger than what I did, his were planned and calculated, mine were made out of normal business deals with no intent to screw anyone.
Somehow we have made the truth of God about repenting to be like this woman’s theology of who her god is versus the God I have come to know and serve. And what we should do, that all sins are somehow equal, repented or not and no matter the intent of the heart in what we did. And because we all fall short and have sinned we should just forgive everyone and let it be.
But what if we did that and let the murderers keep living outside of jail, killing more and more people? Many times I have said that the drug users are growing and the reason is there is no longer any real penalty for them. They do not go to jail anymore, or pay any fines. You can see users shooting up in San Diego and LA right in front of the police, and nothing is done to them. And then they steal from law abiding people so they can get more drugs and again nothing is done legally.
One of my other neighbors is a doctor of psychology and works for the California prison system. He was telling me how many of his patients show up to the meetings high, so he sends them back. I am wondering how the drugs get into the prison in the first place and why it cannot be stopped? There has to be high up people allowing this to happen, it cannot be that difficult to find out how and where they get in and stop it.
The point is if we do not stop the illegal activities, the same violent and dangerous men walk our streets killing and stealing from us, raping our wives and kids… Imagine the kind of life that would be??? It already is getting seriously bad, as we change the rules and laws so the evil ones can keep doing evil things. And we then justify it by twisting things and attaching those who are doing things right.
I made a point to this neighbor that if he did these things to me he will do them to you also if you cross him up and put him in his place like I did. When or if that happened do you think they would still be defending him? I also made the point that if we had a new buyer coming into our complex we did not know, but we knew he had a history like this guys, would you vote to accept him as a neighbor or vote no? I got no answer to it, because again their are always double standards which when you call people on those double standards they have no voice no more because it convicts themIf they answer that question it then shows them how I am right and how they twisted it in their mind.
This happens a lot with me, as the Lord gives his wisdom and his righteous ways to you. IF you follow him you will see his wisdom and truth and how wrong you were so you know the truth and why to live in that truth. The bible comes to life and verses pop up in your mind as to why we set up boundaries and why there are laws to follow and penalties to pay when we do not follow them.
God is also showing me how the US is getting destroyed because it turned from this truth. It was always a little crooked with stealing land from the Indians, and Mexico and bringing in slaves… But it was also the best of the worst, but now not so much.
A couple of examples the Lord showed me on this, first being gay. It is written in the torah, gay people will be stoned to death and they were. It is written how women are a weaker sex, and gives instructions of how a man and wife are to live in harmony. But we changed laws to bring in women’s liberation which changed that and gave more power to women.
When a man of God says things like these truths, they are then called things like racist, homophobic, socialist pig… I am not saying women should be ran over and have no voice, there is a happy medium where God wants things and man cannot find that happy medium. But this world is in full swing of pushing the agenda the opposite of what is in Gods will. And it is destroying it all, ushering in the second coming of the Lord.
No man can tell me that today is better than it was 25 or 50 years ago. We are fatter, not as healthy, many more social problems, financial problems and lack any spirituality some people used to have. And it all comes back to knowing God or not knowing him and following your men teachers who twist the truth or change it. Changing the laws slowly changes morality along with it, and we accept lawlessness as being good. We beg for it actually from our politicians, where we have all the laws we need to follow with the torah. But more so just in hearing and obeying God. If we all did this we would not need a government, police, social programs, counselors…
And again this is why heaven is so perfect, because the only ones getting in are the ones who know Yeshua and obey him all the way up the mountain to the top. He changes us little by little, one situation or sin at a time, until they are all gone and you do them no more. He shows you the way out, and how to live your life better according to his will. Your job is to listen and obey and follow him. If you do, salvation is yours. If you do not, then it is not. You have the choice to defend the wicked and live in it or speak up for righteousness, which will you do?
So are you on God’s side or on your religious god’s side who works against the true living righteous God, Yahweh.
