“Get behind me, Satan!” he said, “For your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God’s perspective!” Mark 8:33
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Adonai. “As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
What we do not understand when living in the flesh is the things of God versus the thoughts and perspective of man. Religion completely gets in the way of the truth, always. I watch and have learned over many years and many different religions I attended how each one had a different twist on what the bible says and what they believed. Some radically different like the JW or catholics or Later day saints.
But regardless what religious background you have, you will never understand the ways of God until you know God, that is to hear him and obey him. He does not give you automatic wisdom because of a sinner’s prayer or a process of studying like the catholics with confirmation. You gain his wisdom and way to live your life by obeying one thing at a time. And each time you listen to him and obey him on a certain subject or position he tells you to do. Normally an understanding that goes against your religion or political view. He gives you a little more wisdom or light.
When Peter rebuked the Lord about going to Jerusalem and dying on the tree, Yeshua immediately said “get behind me satan.” It wasn’t that Yeshua was upset with Peter, he knew Peter did not understand what he was saying or what spirit he was following. Exactly the same when he told the brothers when he said “you do not know what spirit you are talking from.”
The light came into the world, but the man liked the darkness more than the light, so they hid themselves from the light. This is the judgment, you did not let the light of the Lord shine into your darkness and correct you when you were wrong. Over the years of telling people about hearing and obeying the Spirit of God, I have had a few people tell me it is dangerous to follow a spirit because you do not know who you follow and can be led astray. In their mind they think reading the bible and following man’s interpretation of the bible is more secure. Or in most people’s case, they roll their eyes or slime sort of gesture to make you think you are crazy. Maybe a comment of surprise of some sort.
No matter how you react to a man like me saying he hears and obeys God, you are quenching the Spirit and ignoring the light. Your man made wisdom is what keeps you in the dark. The Jews in the days of Yeshua did not recognize the son of God standing right in front of them explaining scripture to them, doing many miracles. Instead they hated him for bringing truth into their traditions and man made doctrine. They shun the light and bring swift destruction and judgment on themselves. And all the while they thought they were doing a service to Adonai, when in reality they did the opposite in murdering the son he sent to redeem them back into a righteous relationship.
Some of this had to happen and Adonai already knew what they would do, he knew they would murder his son, but Adonai also had a plan to open the door to salvation and release the Holy Spirit back into the world to those who make the simple decision to listen to the Spirit of God, the same one Yeshua had and gave to us, and obey him. The judgment for this man leads to righteousness and salvation. The ones who remain in their religion and politics, do not receive anything and remain separated from God no matter how hard they try. They believe they received something from God and believe they live a somewhat different life than most, but do they?
IT seems in my experience that most of the “christians” are changed men from an addiction like drugs and or alcohol. Many go to AA or similar, many have spent time in jail. But then many live down here in Baja and they were in the US illegally or on a visa, got in trouble and deported. There are a lot of them, most have tattoos all over their bodies and look like really bad guys, yet most are better guys than the normal ones. Many still have drug addictions and have a hard time betting them. Some have overcome them.
But the main point is each has a little different perspective on who God is and what is allowed by God and you can still get into heaven.
I have yet to find anyone I personally have met and the vast majority of the people preaching on the web, who have real;y found God. Who really understands this judgment, the light they shun. They have come up with their own gods and how they want their god to work or how their god is supposed to be, and then project it onto the true living God Adonai and Yeshua. Coming up with their traditions that makes their sin and dysfunction OK with God because they are not as bad as they used to be or not as bad as the guy sitting next to them in their “church system.”
What we must come to understand is no one who does not listen to the Spirit of God and obey him, is doing the will of God and cannot work out their salvation. The light or wisdom that only comes from God is the only perspective that counts. You can never do anything in a way that is pleasing to God. Again Peter thought he was doing the right thing, because how could man kill the messiah? And he just stand by and let it happen without a fight? In our religious human perspective, what Peter proclaimed was of God and exactly right, but in the eyes of Adonai it was the opposite. Peter even proclaimed he would die fighting for Yeshua, when Yeshua already knew Peter would be a coward and deny him before the rooster crowd.
So another point to make using this story about Peter. Because as much as he screwed up before Pentecost and received the Spirit. It was a BIG part of why he was chosen to be head of the Church Yeshua was establishing. When Yeshua asked Peter 3 times if he loved him, it changed a lot of things in the mind of Peter and he became a much different man from it.
However that change also was not immediate, even after receiving the Spirit on Pentacoast he still had many misconceptions. None to cost him his salvation, but different perspectives than what God truly wanted and was saying. For example they thought the end of times was coming in their generation, it obviously did not. And over the years many people have thought the same thing, including me. It will be in my lifetime and maybe even today is the start.
Tonight we have a blood moon, which is on the 3rd, and it is happening at 3:33 AM on the third month. Plus with what appears to be WW 3 having started with Israel and the US bombing Iran, plus other wars in process. Also the money system and how the brics is taking over and the dollar is in BIG trouble, Most people do not see it or understand it, but with some of the manipulation going on with metals mostly silver, and the dollar, and how much trouble the banks are in because of rising interest rates, defaults on loans, and short positions in silver amongst many other things. I see where a complete default could happen by tomorrow. I really believe if they did not crash the silver price about 20 times so far this year and boost the dollar up with smoke and mirrors, we would already be done and in default. The question in my mind is not if it happens but how long can they keep kicking this can down the street? And how long can they keep silver prices down when there is HUGE demand and no supply? It is one thing to play a paper game like monopoly, and another to do it in real life when people need the commodity. You cannot use a paper contract on silver to make a bomb or missile or robot or battery or solar panel…
And with the US dollar, everyone world wide is selling and the only buyer is the US Fed and the pension funds in the US. A point to make about that is if you have a pension or money in retirement and own cds or bonds, you are in big trouble with them. Even with social security, I can start collecting next March, so in one year. But what will it be worth to me? Instead of a couple of thousand dollars I expect it to maybe buy me dinner somewhere once a month because of how it will be devalued. You cannot do a thing about SSI or pensions and how they invest it. But your 401k or IRA or other investments, get them out of the system.
US denominated debt is being manipulated big time and it cannot continue forever. When obama was president I thought it was game over then, but he printed a lot of money to save the economy, which now is creating bigger problems than just letting us suffer through it then, letting the banks go broke. There is no way to print a lot of money to bail us out again, they are already printing a lot of money just to pay the interest on what obama and many other presidents did over the years. The other countries who funded us all these years are now net sellers knowing what I know. Or more so I know what they know because I see what they are doing and why.
Having lived in Mexico now for 16 years, and watching Mexico take the wealth out of the US, and seeing China doing the same thing. Giving in exchange tokens like cell phones, cars, and many other things which die after a few short years and need to be replaced. These other countries have taken jobs, and money to buy real assets, gold, silver, land and make loans to other countries. Things that last forever and gain wealth. They did nothing illegal, just smart business when the US and its people demanding free stuff from the government got what they asked for, which is now a heavy burden. And interest on debt payment of a trillion a year and obama care costing way more than they said it would, Which I knew would happen. So then we complain that the cost of living is going up so much the majority cannot make ends meet and the US health care is terrible and expensive. And both are true, but who is to blame? The people who asked for it and the government leaders who gave it to you instead of doing the right thing.
These two examples are not the only two examples I can give, there are many. But to bring this back to the main point, we think differently than God. We have a different perspective than God. And because we want what we want at whatever cost it is. We find men who will go along with our game. Thinking we can have it all forever, even for our kids and kids kids… We just have to believe and trust in God and he will make it happen for us no matter how we live and spend money foolishly. We expect good health from the medical system, which is seriously corrupt and expensive. And we believe it is of God and cooperate. When it is killing us, making us fat and unhealthy and costs us 10’s of thousands of dollars annually in premiums to keep.
Let that sink in a minute? Why can the people not see this craziness? And participate in it, keep paying way too much money and demanding it when it is killing us and making us sick? How crazy is that?
Our family does not participate, we do not have health insurance nor go to their hospitals or doctors. We do not do their vaccines or eat their foods. We keep very little in their money system, just enough to survive paying short term bills. The rest of our money is in assets outside their system. We are finishing a home now which will be 100% off grid, and hope to produce enough food to survive on, along with fishing and or hunting and gathering. We also just bought another piece of land yesterday, trading dollars for a real asset where we can plant even more fruit trees and veggies and some small animals like chickens and rabbits. This food we make is real food created by Adonai and not man and is healthy and will keep us healthy and not fat. Which helps us stay out of the system.
This way of living is of God, we only invest where God shows us to invest. For example the land we bought yesterday was something I have looked for for a number of years and even had accepted offers on other land and the Lord made it clear to NOT do it. This one he allowed or made happen. We were not even looking in this area but went on a hiking trip and ran across it.
Same with the ranchito off grid, we looked many times in many different locations and when we found this land the Lord confirmed it, reminding me of some dreams and visions I had previously about it. And in obeying him it also teaches me about the system man created and how it is destroying your health and wealth, and how to live outside the system so when it crashes they do not take your health and wealth.
In summary, you can live according to the world and satan and keep expecting more and more worldly free stuff. Or you can seek the wisdom of God, which is above your ways as the heavens are above the earth. When we do things in a selfish demanding way like we have, you always eventually pay the price following the system. Feel free to keep doing this, and pay that price. But as crazy as I seem to most of you, crazy like a fox. We will see who wins out in the end!?!?
The problem is when you choose to not heed the warning, you find out when it is too late. They have stolen your health and you get really sick like my dad and a stroke or die like my mom and cancer. And when you meet Yeshua face to face you then find out satan and the men teachers you trusted stole your salvation. In both cases you can do nothing to change it at that time. My mom is still dead, my dad is still in a wheel chair and those who died without knowing the light of God are in a very dark evil place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Your way or Gods way?
