| You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am ….I say a servant not greater than his master. John 13:13 y 16 who gave himself for our sins, so that he might deliver us from the present evil world-system, in obedience to the will of God, our Father. Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product; because neither did I receive it from someone else nor was I taught it — it came through a direct revelation from Yeshua the Messiah. I did not go up to Yerushalayim to see those who were emissaries before me. Instead, I immediately went off to Arabia and afterwards returned to Dammesek. Not until three years later did I go up to Yerushalayim to make Kefa’s acquaintance. Galatians 1:4 y 11- 12 y 17-18 This morning before even reading any devotionals or the bile, I had alone time with God. It seems things get turned around a bit when the kids are in school and we have to run in the mornings. But it is interesting because no matter the order of either reading or hearing him teach first, they both tie into each other. When I was hearing the Lord, he was speaking of him being our teacher and the doctrine of men. Nothing really new from anything I have been speaking of. But he really was directing the conversation to the doctrine of the men and church system, which none is right because they all put the focus on things other than him. Their doctrine puts the focus on the bible, the man teacher, the denomination… Many times growing up and even now I hear things like the catholic faith from my dad. Or catholic family. But none of them speaks of hearing and obeying the Lord. And even when you try to tell them the truth, they either think you are speaking of obeying the written words in the bible. Because to them that is the voice of God. Or they make it about praying to saints or whatever. But none of them speak to the true doctrine which is simple. Hear and obey the Lord. I also was seeking him and his will for me, and was thinking of the things I read from Paul and him being a disciple all the way there. And telling the Lord, if you want me to do that, I’ll do it! If I had to be in jail, hanging from shackles, beaten almost to death more than once… I would do it and hopefully with the same attitude of Paul with singing praises to God instead of crying and complaining. But he showed me how the people are, he set up these churches and then wrote all these letters to them mostly correcting them or scolding them for not doing the right things. The Lord made it clear that the heart of the man has to be right in order to receive the Spirit and hear and obey. They have to want change in their life. But the people do not want the change. And maybe if they do they go deeper into their religion, but they do not want the truth and to know Yeshua. I watch my dad, I see him doing more religious catholic things, it seems he knows his days are short. But he is doing nothing to draw near to God, he is drawing near to his religious beliefs about a god who does not exist. And he has been told, many times by me, about who God is and what he wants and expects. My dads story makes the point, the men do not want Yeshua to be their teacher, I know some people who hear him on a few things, the things they want to hear. But if it comes to things they do not want to hear, the things keeping them from the truth and freedom from sin in it, and from receiving the Holy Spirit. Then they quench the Spirit or ignore him. Or worse, as my dad did. They call the Holy Spirit an evil spirit. The Lord also showed me how I used to be catholic and worshiped idols like the rest of my family. But how I did it in ignorance and not out of spite, and how I no longer do that. But the main reason Yeshua brought it up was because he made the point of how I thought it was a good thing, and I was doing what Adonai would want of me, when it was evil in his sight. Men just want to live their lives the way they want to, give God a few hours a week, and expect salvation. Thinking those few hours a week is enough to obtain salvation. And the men teachers tell them it is good enough. That is what we want, nothing more. And satan and his men teachers are happy to help you find these lies you believe to be truths. The other aspect of it is the men see how you live as bad. After the Lord taught me these things, my wife got into the car and started in on me about many things she does not like about me. How I do not dance to her standards, how I sit and watch the sunset at night most of the time with a glass of wine. How I spend other time outside hearing the Lord. How I do not dress up much these days, and how I am sticky according to her. But then she was quiet and actually slept on the way home. And the Lord made these points to me. Which the main point is which of us is doing it right, you or her? Yeshua did not do anything special to look great, no special clothes. We went to a birthday party this weekend and of course I dressed up. But to go to the swap meet and then the gym, of course I wear workout clothes. However she puts on makeup and lipstick to go swimming and to the gym, having to look spectacular. And like most women these days taking pictures of every little thing and posting on facebook for people to tell them how great they look. She wants me to dance better so the people will look at us and think WOW, what a great couple and boy can they dance. She wants me to spend time with her talking about small talk and things she should not be talking about sometimes. Sometimes it is about things we should or need to like where to put the kids for school. But to talk about how the kids in school are is another thing. There is a line in it, because we do need to know about the kids they are around and advise them as to why they need to keep their distance from some. But when the conversation crosses that line I want nothing to do with it, and Yeshua will tell you when it crosses that line if you truly have the Spirit of God. To sum this up, in the eyes of God I am doing what he expects, if not he tells me what to change. If she or anyone else does not want to spend the time with God, it is their deal. But normally while I am sitting with God she is on facebook or talking with friends about nothing much, maybe the next get together. And the other BIG point is she is condemning me when she is the one who is wrong. I do not tell her the things she does wrong like that, I will tell her exactly what I am saying to her, and sometimes she listens. Most of the time she argues, so I just stop and leave it alone because it does not matter, you can never win an argument with a woman in a mood like that. The point is, what is the reason you are doing what you do? Is it in obedience to God? Because God has made it clear to me to not watch TV, there are many reasons for that one, including being brainwashed by the media, supporting these artists who are evil, worshipping satan and going to epstien’s island and many other evil things. Things we are to have no part of. As I keep growing deeper into the Spirit, he makes things clearer and clearer to me that the simple life is the best life. Keep your worldly things minimal and take your time to the Lord. He will give you the life you need if you obey him and do what he tells you. And that life is completely different from how you used to live in the flesh, and how others think you should live. As I keep saying, I see myself more and more living on a ranch, working my garden and with the animals, and just soaking in the Lord. When I am doing manual labor like dishes, or sweeping, my mind is on the Lord and what he wants. So imagine spending all day working similar jobs and listening to the Lord. When you listen to God and do things his way, he does not leave you time to complain about your spouse, or other people. He will however make it clear to you who the other people are, and which ones you should or should not spend time with. The last and biggest point of all this. How you spend your time is what is going to form your mind. It is your doctrine, and that doctrine is what is going to make your works. If you are right with God and he is the one teaching you, then your doctrine is in him and he will perfect you, how long that takes depends on you. One of the worst things you can do is do the opposite and then ridicule the ones who are doing things right as if it is wrong. And the biggest point of it is this is why I have achieved a sin free life and most people have not. Because I do these things, and let people ridicule and make fun of me. I do not care. I know this life is short, and that eternity is eternity. Whatever happens to me in this life is fine, because I know it is obtaining for me a glory that far outweighs it all. It is also one of the reasons I write about taboo things, because the Lord has shown me and I must show the world. And know the world will hate me because it first hated Yeshua. |
Outward appearance of wisdom? Or true wisdom of God?
They do indeed have an outward appearance of wisdom, with their self imposed religious observance, false humility and asceticism; but they have no...
