Being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. But to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God. Romans 1:29-32 y 2:8-11
The Lord keeps putting the word toxic in my mind, seems to be the newest thing with many people, even with bumper stickers saying things like I love my toxic wife or daughter… We seem to think it is funny and as if it is the way it is and nothing will change it, or the person cannot change themselves.
But that is completely incorrect, anyone can make any change they need to in the Lord. Some things we cannot overcome on our own power, the strong hold of the devil is to strong. But we can do all things in Yashua who loves and strengthens us. The problem is we do not even try and if we have any religious thing we claim grace and accept our sins as being Ok because of a sinners prayer, confession or other nonsense. But this is not the “way” of Yashua. Never did he say a word about grace like it is taught today. And never did he give room to sin. He also did not condemn a person because they sinned, he came to save not condemn us. But he followed it up with the statement that you will have in you on the last day which will judge you. Which is namely righteousness or unrighteousness. Your spirit still in control or the Spirit of God, the Holy spirit. Your works will judge you, are the works of righteousness and that of the Holy Spirit guiding you into all righteousness? Or will they be of unrighteousness and of your own thinking or way. You will bring the judgment on yourself by your works, and your works are either of your own or of God when you decide to not make your own decisions anymore but live completely by the instruction and guidance of Yashua and his Spirit.
It is not an easy path because as written many times over the world hates the truth and way and light and remains in the darkness and they will ridicule, persecute, laugh at, call you names to anyone who even suggest such a thing. The first big hurdle to overcome is the idea you can hear the voice of God, they think it is crazy, even the most deep religious Christian. The one trying hard to follow what their religions tells them is right with God. And the reason they cannot hear God is because of this. Everything their church is telling them goes against the truth so when you say you hear God and tell them they also need to. And then tell them what God is showing you and it goes against everything they believe. Then you are crazy or maybe following a demon. More than once I have been told I am following a demon even by my own parents.
But am I? Or are they? To answer this we must look at our fruit we bear, or the outcome of what our works are. And this brings us back to the toxic word and how toxic this world is becoming and accepted as good and anyone who speaks against it is the problem. The toxins comes in two main sources. Toxins in our food and water and other products affecting our health. Like medications shots or vaccines. They put chlorine and fluoride in our water. All our food is full of toxins even if you are trying to eat healthy, which most do not and dive full head into the trash. It is not hard to see this, just look at the people who are grossly overweight these days. Then watch what they eat and buy when they shop. When I go to the grocery store and watch the products the people put in their carts to buy it amazes me. The fat ones and ones with zits have chips, sugary drinks, can foods, processed foods… If they took a second to read the package and then understand what these products do to your body and it is why they are fat and unhealthy. They would stop eating them. So far there is no law which says we must eat their trash, although the people truly in control of this world are moving towards it. And some things they have made illegal. Like raw milk. And many other things they make it sound like it is the problem like butter and eggs and animal fats. Basically they have tied fats with being fat and the good oils as the problem with many things when the good oils and fats are needed by our body. For example our brains need cholesterol, and they have convinced us cholesterol is bad. So we eat cereals full of trash sugars instead of eggs, and older people taking statins to reduce cholesterol. No wonder we have Alzheimer’s and autism rising tremendously amongst other dieses of the brain. I cannot fathom being the one who tells this lie, and want to badly the people figure these lies out so they do not suffer like that. I just know me and my family will NOT follow these lies and do what they tell us to do.
Then on top of this we cook with pans with nonstick toxic surfaces, we use microwaves which kill any nutrition and put radiation in our food. We put poisons in our mouth with toothpaste as fluoride is a HUGE toxin, and by drinking water with floride. And other toxins on our skin with makeup, deodorants, perfumes… There are all kinds of toxins in our water supplies especially in Iowa where I came from, and it gets in our air.
Our bodies need 3 main things to live and strive. Food, water and air to breath. “They” have poisoned all three of these things in most locations around the world and it is killing us and making us fat and unhealthy and the people are like a cow going to the slaughter, they just follow along like it is all OK. Like we cannot do anything to change it. Eating what they shouldn’t and staying away from what they should eat. And then saying people like me who does everything the opposite is the problem, we are crazy. But then me and my family do not have health problems and have overcome a lot in our lives regarding sin, and continue to move forward in Yashua.
Again look at the fruit. I just turned 60 a few days ago and no problems, a very good height weight relationship and looking healthy and muscular. Not Arnold S muscular, but then Arnold does not look like Arnold anymore either. I am the exact same weight I was when I started college and playing football, and although I have no photos of myself from those days to prove it, my bodies distribution is as good or maybe even better than those days.
This one I talk about often because the Lord keeps showing it to me over and over and over again. It is sooooo important to God that we take care of our health and body. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:20 “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” And in verse 9:27 he said “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.”
Keep in mind it is not only what you eat that defiles the body, it is also sexual things. There is a big difference between sex in a righteous marriage and random sex. We do not know what we do to ourselves by letting the wrong things into our body sexually and with what we eat. I know because I abused both in my first half of life, and now have brought it into subjection to the Lord and his way and truth.
Which makes a point he shows me often. Some people never did many of the bad things I did, and lived fairly good lives, yet still are in sin, just not as bad as I was. So how would they ever listen to a sinner like I was, in their eyes I am disqualified.
And others make up excuses for their sin, like a lady I dated a few years often compared herself to Peter before the death of Yashua. And how he meant good but always messed up. Saying he would go to death with the Lord and then denying and cursing him. But what they do not look at is how that Peter latter died unto himself and then received the Holy Spirit and was a completely different man. The sinful man always compares himself with the men of the bible who never received the Spirit and were humbled through life.
As a side note, even once you do the work to listen to the Spirit and follow him, you will still stumble and fall from time to time. This is the true grace of God, and something you cannot fool God about. God knows if you are serious trying to move forward in perfection with Yashua and his ways or just making excuses to remain in your sin like this woman was. But as you move forward you sill stumble less and less and eventually you will walk in a high level of perfection in Yashua. You are retrained in your thoughts and your thoughts then change how you act and react. Only Yashua can put this in you, only he is the truth to follow.
In reality it is as simple as changing what you eat. You have a choice every time you eat, do you eat real beef or fish, fruits and veggies. Or eat chips and pop. A choice to sit in front of the tv eating trash or go to the gym to work out. And it is no different with other sins, you have a choice to go to the bar and hang out with drunks gossiping and trying to pick up chicks. To watch trash on tv or the computer. Or to stay home with the wife and kids and spend time with them, and alone time with Yashua letting him teach you and show you things to come. You spend time with the things of the world and they will affect including the people you hang with. Or you spend time with Yashua and he influences you. Your works will be based on who influences you. This is your choice, not the works you do. The works you do will be because of the choice to do worldly things or the things of God. What you let in your mind affects your works.
A simple example just given to me. My 6 year old son is hungry and just brought me an apple to cut for him. He does not eat chips or sweets because we do not have them in the house. He always asks for water to drink and NEVER drinks sugary drinks because we do not have them in the house.
Mentally many have come to accept toxins in their life with the people we choose to hang out with to the foods we eat and drinks we drink. What we do with our free time and what we let in our minds. Who you hang out with and listen to.
We must realize we are a slave to the god we obey, Yashua made this clear in Matthew 6:24 ““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” The reason the people remain in sin is they are trying to serve two masters and have come to hate God and his ways. They will argue and say they love God and do their church thing, but they do not hear and obey God nor know him and what he expects. And they teach opposite of what Yashua and his disciples taught. The people are doing exactly what Paul told us would happen. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.” 2 Timothy 4:2 And what Yashua said in Matthew 13:14-15 “And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: “Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”
This is what is sad to me, I tell people what God has shown me and they cannot hear it or see it because their hearts are hard towards God although many I know are on fire for their religious beliefs. Or whatever is important to them, maybe their career or they worship their bodies.
This is the fight ongoing. To keep your mind off the world and on the things of God. All the cares of the world keep wanting to suck you in and keep your focus on it or them instead of the things of God. As said many times the story of the seed falling. The main one for me is keeping my mind stayed on Yashua and not the things or cares of the world. Knowing the good Father will take care of me, just let him and keep our focus on Yashua. Then obey him, without obedience he cannot take care of you. This is why people never achieve the same level of life as those of us who are completely surrendered to the Lord. They live in the world and their religion supports their ways of living.
A simple example, we just returned from our land we bought in Guerro where we talked with our builder to continue building. As we arrived back I saw an article, a BIG deal where the US is not giving Mexico any water from the Colorado river. It is our water source and will destroy this area if something does not change. Not today because they have water in a damn, but it won’t last long.
But here is the point, and I wrote about the land we bought and why in detail before. The short is the Lord gave me dreams about some land we would own someday. And we (more so myself) have been looking at different places around Mexico. When I saw this land and asked the Lord about if this was it because it felt right when the others did not feel right. He reminded me of two dreams which were fulfilled when we saw the land. So it was obvious we were to buy it. We had been looking for a few years, and have not done much with building for the last year on it. But now we are and then I read this article.
The point is because I know Yashua and then obey his will for my life in buying this land which is full of water and we have a well. And all kinds of food everywhere. My Father in Heaven is doing exactly what he said, taking care of our daily bread needs. But do not confuse it with the disobedient who clam these verses but do not know him and will find out he is not providing for them when there is no water nor food because of no water to give to the fields and animals. Your religion will not provide when the calamity comes. See Proverbs 1.
