Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness. 1 Peter 2:24
The Lord keeps showing me over and over how easy it is for the devil to fool or lie to us. As an example this is the verse the Lord showed me this morning, and many of you will take what it is saying in a much different way than Yashua taught me. Most of you, because of this you’re saved by grace doctrine, will see this verse as because Yashua died on the cross and said it is finished, we are saved if we only accept it and claim it with a simple little prayer. And the part of the verse about righteousness is not about us acting in a righteous manor, but that God no longer sees our sin and sees us as righteous in his eyes even though we still sin.
But this is not true, we ignore or twist the part about us dying unto ourselves and our sin.
In the Kingdom of God there is no sin, in a righteous person there is no little corner of hell and unrighteousness. There is no following a man named Jesus on Sundays and then partying or doing your own sinful thing the rest of the weekend and week. There is no time for God and then time for the family and then time for work, time to eat and time to sleep. These things cannot be separated, we must do all of them for the glory of God every time.
Our problem is we separate things and make them like God does not care what or when we eat. But he does, we need to do everything in the light and dark (letting his light shine into that darkness) according to his good purpose.
The life of a true disciple of the son of God is under the light all the time, the question is not if it is or not, but are you listening to the light and letting the light shine into your darkness so it drives the darkness (sin) out of you?
Most of us because of our doctrine we believe in, have a crutch or way out of letting the light shine in us, at least in our minds, although this is a lie. To be clear believing in a certain doctrine is NOT the same thing as believing in the son of God. We must hear and obey the son of God, Yashua and he will shine that light into you which leads us into all righteousness. If you make it about your church doctrine or about something you read and then twist in the bible, it is not the same. This is why so many still remain weak, poor miserable and without vision.
Many times I have been shown and then tell anyone who will listen, how the condo I built and then we moved into one of them, the views are the best around. But more importantly how Yashua taught me or showed me it is the same Spiritually. We must put in the work and go through the pains. Because in this project it was nothing like I planned and thought it would turn out. It was way over budget because cost jumped and in many cases more than doubled. Like cement went from $130 pesos a sack to $310. At the same time we had a lot of rain, including a tropical storm in July. It never rains in July here and we got like 7 inches. We also had to deal with the peso and dollar going against us by about 20% And some of my buyers causing a lot of problems, at one point all of them against me because of one man and his evil ways about me. Now they all see him for who he is and have nothing with him and are good with me. This same man I am still having big problems with, and even this week we had the police out because of him and his thug worker with their threats.
I can look back at this experience and think how it was not worth it, and never should have done it and poor me, like most people. Actually most people would have never done something like this, as it was a big project, dealing with millions of dollars. At least a BIG project for someone like me, there are people out there dealing with way more than I did.
But here is the thing or point. And it is always about this with God. He puts you through pains and suffering to grow you. The stress I went through with everyone including my wife was extreme. I started to get twitches in my eye even, something I have never had before. There were times where I had no idea how we were going to pay to keep it going, but I kept my faith in God that he put me here so whatever happens it is his will and I pay the price according to his will, not mine. Even if it did fail. Deep down I knew he would come through, that it was all a big test to see if I would remain focused on him and not on my short term problems. And I did, and God did his thing.
So here we are, about 6 months after finishing the project (although there is always something’s to do ongoing, as well as a few items to finish). But now I can look back and see the Lord killed a few more things in me, strengthened many others and gave me a clearer vision than ever before. A better vision or understanding about myself and who I am and what God has done in me. As well as who other people are. I see how the demons work in people’s lives, including mine if I let them like the old days. I see how these demons and satan then have the people in charge make up their own doctrines to justify these things, making it about mental health issues instead of Spiritual issues. Then instead of having the people do the work to change they drug them. And the whore church system goes along with it as it is right and good in the eyes of God and is of God.
Well it is of the god of this world, satan and his kingdom. I see exactly what is happening in the Spiritual world and how both satan and God work in the lives of the people. And I see clearly now why Yashua said the Pharisees were following or obeying their god satan, and not Father God Yahweh. Because you obey one or the other whether you like it or not. Obeying satan brings the dysfunction into your life and his goal is to destroy you and take you with him to the fiery pit.
As mentioned many times, the judgment of your salvation or eternal damnation is based on one thing and one thing only. When Yashua speaks and shows you things and puts it on your heart to do things a certain way, his way in his truth. Do you ignore that light or accept that light and do what he shows you? This is the judgment. Do you remain in the darkness and make your own decisions calling it Gods free will and right to do so and he will still save you? Or do you give up that right to yourself and obey his will? Because by not listening and obeying Yashua, you are instead obeying the evil one by default. You are a slave to one or the other, your free will is to make the choice which one you will obey and be a slave to!
Financially speaking also he added a few dollars to our net worth on paper anyways as it is in real estate. And increased our income significantly, enough to easily pay the bills these days with the significant down turn in sales, which are basically zero.
So the point is in the end, when looking at the fruit being beard because of the experience and process. So much was gained because of what the Lord put me through. I do not and did not see it as a poor little old me time, I saw it as Ok Lord do your work in me, I do not like this but your will be done. This is what God wants of us, to obey when it seems as all hell is breaking loose and it is going to all turn out bad.
As for me and my house we obey the Lord!
