Put your trust in God.

       Throughout the world millions of people have either developed or are in the process of developing a right relationship with our creator. Through the teachings of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, and by revelation of who He is and why He was sent these people have come to learn the truth of where their help comes from and who their supply is, the almighty God, I am. Many times people come to God out of necessity, borne out of a hunger for a better life and as they do and begin to draw neigh to Him, He draws neigh unto them, as He promises. In this process His kingdom is established, revealed and moved forward here on earth. As he promises He will never leave us nor forsake us. In the US this is not so prevalent as it is elsewhere. Many people have no desire to truly seek a right relationship with God. Most are happy wading in the pleasures of the flesh, seldom concerned about the world around them that extends past their own sphere of interaction. These people simply do not hunger after the things of God and his care. This is because, in part, their capacity for hunger has been purchased by the enemy with mammon. 

      The enemy has found a way to counterfeit God’s provision. Who is in need of a heavenly supply when Government social welfare programs promise so much. How many times have men added to these programs selling themselves as a savior to the impoverished for votes into some office? The current Government shut down has revealed to me the enormity of control men have over a population that has come to worship them and rely on them for their sustenance. It is as ridiculous to believe that you can elect or appoint a savior as it is to believe you can believe in and submit to a deity you yourself carved from a stick. There is only one all mighty God, one Christ Jesus and one Holy Ghost, one Lord and savior and he cannot be your savior unless you make him your Lord, you cannot call him Lord unless you are willing to obey Him. Could God be getting ready to move to remove an obstacle that prevents many from seeking Him? It is going to interesting to find out.

       Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.  Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jer 17:5-8 (KJV)

Christ Jesus the Holy Lawbreaker

       Man creates laws based mostly upon perceptions as established by living in the physical world. Sometimes these laws can be confining as they are made to create parameters wherein people are permitted to operate. Over time these parameters begin to corral the mind as well as the physical actions of people. Mental barriers Begin to be set up blockages baring most from entering in to a greater state of consciousness that does exist outside our own perception, outside our perceived limitations. There is a powerful state of consciousness that is there for us to activate, a realm for us to walk in where we inherit the ability to unleash the power of heaven while the Father works through us as he did with Christ Jesus, Peter, John, Paul and others so that we can, with great power, do the Fathers works. Faith and belief are the keys to entering this realm. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the doorway through which we pass to get there.

       The Law said no work could be done on the Sabbath day, but Jesus spat on the ground, toiled the soil and “made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

       The law said women, when in the midst of their cycle, were unclean and barred from touching anyone lest they also be made unclean. To do this was an offence punishable by law. But, when it came to Jesus, “a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

       The law said women who committed adultery were to be put to death by stoning. But when a woman caught in the act of adultery was brought before Jesus by a mob, who was set to kill her. Jesus said. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Further, when the mob dispersed he asked, “Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

       The law said those with leprosy could not come into town and that to touch a leper was an offense punishable by law, possibly punishable by death. But, when a man with leprosy came into town to seek Jesus, “beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

Sometimes certain laws and the adherence to them, can work to prevent miracles.

David, where are you?

Does no one realize that the very classes of people God told us to have nothing to do with their ways, that we “should not do like them”, one such class Christ Jesus himself proclaimed to be sick, unrighteous sinners in need of a physician, called to repentance simply because of their job description and who they served, have been allowed to subvert an entire Nation of people? Do you not see that the majority of this Nations people profess to be believers in God and followers of Christ Jesus but have voluntarily allowed themselves to be brought under subjection to them and their ways? Many people in this Nation have been deceived, seduced, convinced to submit to the un-Godly through all forms of witchcraft, trickery and deception and are held captive body, mind and spirit, some by the promises of men pretending to be saviors purveying salvation and security to the masses through the consistent supply of unholy mammon portrayed as a blessing. Most do not even know that the system behind the money loaned for our use in this Nation has been engineered to ensure that such loans can never be paid back to the supplier and is also designed to create exponentially increasing debt perpetually enslaving the borrower, us. Some are captive because they are partially blinded, they know the truth but accept lies because the lies are spoken by men in positions of authority they perceive cannot be overcome without great strength, strength they themselves cannot or will not give effort to muster, forgetting that their strength comes from the Lord if they just call upon Him. Some are held captive by means of chemical dependencies and all are held by fear, threat, duress and coercion. Solomon warned, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” Prov 1:10. (KJV)  Where are God’s anointed leaders? 

Thus saith the Lord, Woe be unto the apostles, pastors, preachers and teachers who teach of another jesus, you teach for commandments the traditions and doctrines of men, tickle ears, prostitute my Holy Spirit, invite the merchandisers into the temple from whence I have driven them. You have climbed in to bed with the money changers all while trying to enrich yourselves believing your enriching will somehow broadcast to prospective customers and your religious competitors that you are being blessed from on high and as you preach this other jesus, my people suffer for lack of knowledge of certain truths. You hide behind end times doctrine to disguise your lack of faith and belief in my Spirit and to excuse your inaction. You scatter and mislead my sheep, you teach them to defile their own inner temple, to be the hands and feet of the prince of the power of the air while you deliver them into the hands of their captors the heathens, publicans and sinners whom you have helped to elevate into positions of status and rule. They care not for me, believe not in me, nor in my ways. Repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand so too is your judgment!

Because of your false teachings, you lead many souls before Christ Jesus and they will be denied entrance into heaven. For he has said. “ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt 7:21-23 (KJV)

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.  And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. 2 Kings 17:14-15 (KJV)

And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 1 Chron 16:35 (KJV)

Today I see a broadening gap between two adversaries. On my left are comparatively few ungodly heathen and Ba’al worshipers. On my right there are hundreds of millions of God’s children who have been deceived and misled, most are unaware of the treachery carried out by those on the left who work to enslave them and have unrightfully assumed power to rule, they seek to rob them of their wealth and usurp the liberties granted by our Creator.  Many on the right are aware and they should come to the fore front and help to form an army, lead a charge to reclaim their lands and protect the others. However, they fear reprisal and stand shaking in their boots because they have seen other valiant men fall in the attempt. They cower and suffer under the weight of the knowledge of the sin and evil that is being proliferated and forced upon us all while being tormented by an inner struggle between being stalled by fear and being moved to take action by the conviction of the Spirit of Truth. This must change. Do you not know that God is with us? With Him, nothing is impossible.

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. 1 Chron 28:20 (KJV)

Those on the left are much like the Philistines who hide behind their imposing champion, their Goliath, a fallacy, a creature made of fear who is shod with the armor of intimidation and secular humanism, a spear of deception, and a helmet of seduction, he speaks threats, propaganda, political correctness and misinformation from honey lips. This un-Godly creature holds God’s army at bay simply by fear, by the lack of knowledge of who he truly is, who his masters are and how defenseless he is in the face of faith and belief in our Lord. Again, I stand in the gap seeing that this Goliath must fall, it is only a stone’s throw of truth away and when he does fall, when the Philistines see their champion go down, and he soon will, they will flee and God’s army will chase them down until they too fall and their tents spoiled. David, where are you? Renew your mind! Fear not!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chron 7:14 (KJV)

Call the tax man to repentance

A heathen is defined as follows.

Heathen

1.

an unconverted individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible; a person who is neither a Jew, Christian, nor Muslim; pagan.

2.

an irreligious, uncultured, or uncivilized person.

A publican is defined as follows.

Publican:

The class designated by this word in the New Testament were employed as collectors of the Roman revenue.

a :  a Jewish tax collector for the ancient Romans

b :  a collector of taxes or tribute

Throughout God’s word we can find references to both the heathens and publicans. Inarguably, by context, we can easily conclude that the lifestyles and actions of both classes of people were considered unacceptable to the righteous and in many cases believers were warned not do as they do or be like them. It is made clear that to act as a heathen or publican was quite simply unacceptable to God. We can also find in some cases where they are equated with each other. Arguably we can find in the scriptures inferences that imply that being a publican was worst than being a heathen.  Here a few of many examples.

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. 2 Kings 17:15 (KJV)

Jesus said,

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. (In part)Matt 18:17 (KJV)

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:11-13 (KJV)

You see (even as this publican) as if to infer he was worse than the rest and clearly as you read on you find that the publican is referred to as a sinner because of his ways.

In Matthew 9: 9 -13 we find where Jesus dined with sinners and the tax men and for this the Pharisees sought to criticize him. “And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?  But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

 

We know that Jesus taught that it was forbidden for his people to pay tribute to Caesar and clearly we find in this portion of scripture that again the tax collector was considered unrighteous and equated with sinners. Jesus made it very clear by his response that he considered them sick and in need of a physician, in need of deliverance from their wicked ways and in need of repentance. “for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.”

Are we to call the tax man to repentance? Jesus did and if we are to truly claim that we walk with Christ Jesus of Nazareth we are too.

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 2:6 (KJV)
