“You have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:6-7 y 13-16
Over and over the bible speaks of trials and tribulations we must endure in order to be Holy and righteous. Yet when you speak of these things people think they are being discriminated against and God does not love them. And the church system tries to help make the pain less instead of letting it have its way and telling the people it is a natural part of the narrow path, or way of Yashua.
The Lord recalled many things to me or as the verse above says revelations to me. Revelations aren’t necessarily prophesy as many think, they most of the time are simple truths the Lord shows us, things we have seen over the years and being reminded of them, or maybe the Lord showing us a bible verse and then showing us what he is saying or how It applies to us.
He showed me two things, first was when my older daughters stopped speaking to me some 20 years ago and when I cried in pain and asked the Lord (finally instead of asking everyone else what to do and not the Lord). He put the prodigal son story on me, and I said but Lord I am not the one disowning the girls, they are disowning me? I am not the prodigal son here (although at one time in my life was exactly him).
The Lord then said to me, “What did the father do?” I said nothing. And the Lord responded, “exactly, you are to do nothing, there is nothing you can do to change their mind. They will change it when they are ready).
The second story the Lord showed me was about a church I went to on and off in Iowa called Agape. As with all churches I have gone to it had its own form of doctrine and ways, but they made it really about their idea of love, agape love which if you never have heard this word, it is the strongest form of Love. But their idea of agape love and the Lords are two different things, this is the short story.
A woman in the church was having some sort of problem, and she spoke of another woman in the church who helped her a lot. She could not stop talking about this other woman and how she helped her so much, and the other woman was with a proud look and big smile.
Now in the flesh we think that is a perfect example of how a “Christian” should be and a perfect example of love. And granted there are times when we are to help a brother in need. But the Lord made the point back then and did again now that this woman who helped got in the way of the suffering the other woman was supposed to go through to come to know more about who God is and what he expects of us. By helping get rid of the pain she suffered, it stopped the Holy Spirit from doing his job.
It was the same with me, I ran to everyone looking for answers as to how to stop the pain and get my girls to want to see me again, and I tried almost everything anyone said to help. But nothing helped, and it seemed to make it worse. And then the Lord spoke when I finally asked him and he made it clear that he is the one to come to when you have problems, not other people. “Do Not confirm with flesh and blood!”
That was the last time I made that mistake, ever since I confer with Yashua and him only. And this is in everything in my life. Not just with problems but with my daily walk. I spend a lot of time with him, so much my wife gets mad at times and puts it in my face as being a lazy one. However I find the more time I spend with him the more wisdom he gives, and wisdom is worth its weight in Gold, better than the finest riches. I can honestly say our wealth is 100% because of his wisdom he has given me because I sit at his feet and listen to him, then do what he says. Our wealth did NOT come because I get up early and go to work hard all day long. And certainly my peace, joy and the true love of God did not come from putting my head down and working really hard, or trying to please other people.
Speaking of which, I have learned very clear the old saying. You can please some of the people some of the time, but you cannot please all the people all the time. I have found in these last days it is impossible to please even a few people. The mental aspect of the people has changed dramatically as the doctrine has changed along with the food we eat, the drugs we take, the vaccines we take… All these things has made us as human beings impossible to please no matter how hard you try. And on top of it, the Lord made it clear when he said “know they will hate you because of me because they first hated me.”
When you set out to please God, the people will NOT like it. One would think it would be the other way around, and this is why the example above of the two women makes sense in the whore church system. Our idea of love is very different than Gods, and the church system makes it about the bible as the word of God and not the word being God himself. And the church system steps in to do everything possible to stop the suffering of its own.
As mentioned many times, this also causes us to see our fruit we bear when it is bad as just a normal outcome. The same amount of people inside the “Christian” church are fat as outside. They have the same medical issues, same divorce rate and family issues. The list goes on, but the main point is they bear the same fruit as anyone else even though supposedly they “follow Christ” which they do. Because this god Christ who never existed gives them a doctrine made up from man of read your bible and try to imitate it. No one can imitate the living God, you can only hear him and obey him unto righteousness. I used to think this saying “WWJD, what would Jesus Do” was of God. But when I came to know God I knew quickly it was of the devil, because we are not to think what would Jesus do, we are to go to the Living son of God, Yashua and ask him what we should do. These are two very different things.
Trying to remember scripture and then act on it is very different than the two examples I gave as it works out in real life. Remember we are to work out what Yashua is working in us. Your bible is not working anything into you, and it cannot speak to explain things to you.
Something else the Lord showed me clearly on this subject he makes the point often about when Mary was at the feet of Yashua and Martha complained. All the time the disciples came to Yashua and asked him to explain what he was teaching because they did not get it. And Yashua told them at one point that he could not explain things to them at that time, but when he went away to the Father that he would send his Spirit who would explain things to them, reminding them of the things Yashua said. Then they would understand.
The thing is the church does not seem to understand this, we heap up preachers to tell us the mysteries of the bible so they can make their doctrine work, not so it tells them the truth which sets them free. No man can understand the things of God unless we do two things. First sit at the feet of Yashua, and second we must have received the Holy spirit.
Many people think they received the Spirit because of some doctrinal beliefs, maybe a tradition like a sinner’s prayer or confirmation, or whatever. But they have not received a thing, and the proof is they still bear the same bad fruit as the world. Or maybe not as bad, but still fruit not worth of repentance.
I have a few friends who are on a good path, yet still lack because they like their religion and their Jesus more than the truth in Yashua and knowing everything the Spirit wants. They want their cake and eat it also. They like there fleshly emotions, and manna. I see them torn between the love of God and the love of manna. So far they have not learned to love one and hate the other, but it’s a matter of time before they do. You cannot hang onto both sides of the cliff forever, at some point you have to decide which side you want to live on. You cannot do both, please man and God, fulfill the lust of the flesh and fulfill the things of God. These things fight against each other. The man made doctrine makes them seem to work together for our good, like we can have peace, joy and love and wealth and our emotions and fleshly desires all at the same time. But it does not work that way. And when push comes to shove we side with the fleshly desires.
The word tells us to do this also with saying like “take care of number one.” But Yashua says “do not worry about what you’re going to eat or wear or where you live… Your Heavenly Father takes care of the birds of the air, how much more he will take care of you. This is assuming you do his will and not just go to a church which preaches what they call his word from a book called a bible.
To bring this full circle, the time I spend in quiet meditation listening to the Lord teach me. And the wisdom he gives me from it. This is what helps me to prosper, to have in abundance. He does not tell me to sit back and just pray to win the lottery or get free easy money. He gives me direction to do the good works to prosper. The ways to work smarter and not harder. He gives the peace in your soul which makes other people want to do business with you and not someone else.
He has shown me the book of Genesis and the story of Jacob and the father in law who screwed him over, and how God the \father then blessed Jacob and made all the sheep born to be his based on the agreement he had with his father in law. God is like that with me. He has given me opportunities no else has had, and then expects you to achieve a success like no one else has had. And he also stops that success if he wants. Like now I find myself at a point in my real estate career where there is no business and time to move on. This has happened a few other times in my life. Before I cried about it, now I look at what is next to learn in my life.
This time is different as I no longer have to work to live and eat. And with young kids I see what the focus is about. Although there is always some fussy part of the future as we are to take it one day at a time, to “not worry about tomorrow because today has enough problems of its own.”
Through all of this I have learned it is not about the manna as when you chase manna it never is enough. The Lord has made it simple to me, we really only need three things. To breath, to drink water and to eat. And if you are right with God you know he has all three of these covered. That anything more is as King Solomon said “vanity.” I do enjoy the vanity, the extras he ha given to me. But my focus remains on the Spirit and not h\the fleshly desires of the heart. The heart is corrupt above all things, it desires the things of the flesh and not the things of God. If we desire the things of God and do them, then when God blesses us with the hearts desires, they are in the right order and do not become the focus or main thing. God is the main thing, the things he gives us are a result of him being our hearts desire.
Look at it this way. If one of your kids comes to you and expects you to give him everything, money, a home, a car… and he outs if you do not do it and complains. How do you feel? However, if you have a son who loves you for you and if or when you give something to him he is extremely grateful, and never expecting anything. Is it not a great joy to give to this son?
This is how God is, the problem is we have made the living God no more than a genie in a bottle. We do not call on him to give us wisdom and instruction, we call on him to give us worldly gifts and blessings. To bless us in our worldly lust of the flesh and to not condemn us when we do not obey him. We think we know better than God how to live our lives and if he does not give us what we expect we complain.
Examine your life and let the light shine in and tell me what I just said is wrong in your life and how you see God? If you really know him you will know you used to live something similar to this, I certainly did. But when you come to know God and who he is and what he expects, then you start to see how we treat him and how bad our doctrinal beliefs are because of what we are taught by the men teachers who tell us what our itching ears want to hear. And we no longer go to other people for help who instead of really helping get in the way of a lesson to learn from God which will strengthen us. We instead will learn to go to the living God who loves and strengthen us in the real love we do not know in the flesh.
Sadly most will not see the truth in what I am saying, which is not of me but of the Spirit of God. Because in seeing they do not see, and in hearing they do not hear, least they turn from their way and be healed. Or in other words not suffer the same bad fruit and things of the world like all religious people do in one form or another. Or bearing bad fruit.
