Consider the Loaves

Because of the fast pace of today’s world if immediate gratification doesn’t happen discontent sets in and we fall deep into ourselves primed to assume self-pity. Eventually when and if gratification does come we’re off running again until immediate gratification falls short and fails us once more, then back into discontent. This hot and cold character makes it seem we’re never satisfied, and that–What have you done for me lately attitude becomes quite the norm causing many debates of why me, and not now to be taken personally. Whatever happened to take time out and smell the roses? Challenges come into our lives all the time but why if not solved right now doubt picks up momentum. What happened to the victories of the past, I’ll tell you; they’re forgotten.

Those victories and successes of yesterday are important building blocks for tomorrow, if forgotten or not recalled, for every challenge you face doubt and failure can be first off your lips giving us a blue print into your mindset showing others whatever life brings your way that’s off track and not understood immediately you’ll seize the moment with discontent and self-pity, after that your doubt leads.

Today everybody and everything has about 30 seconds or less to impress otherwise we’ll tune out or turn off; by that, everything that’ll ever happen to you in life will have a temporary life span with the appearance of being brand new if it occurs again regardless of past victories, so hurt becomes an acceptable reaction, and why?

Jesus had just finished the miracle feeding five thousand men with two fish and five loaves of bread, (Mark 6:38-44). What a victory of miraculous proportions, too, with women and children it could have been as many as fifteen thousand plus. Afterwards, Jesus told the disciples to meet Him in Betasaida on the other side of the sea, but while sailing a severe storm was brewing up about halfway into their journey and the disciples doubted they’d make it; even sink instead when too their surprise saw Jesus walking on the water toward them until He reached the boat. Jesus intended to past them by, but got into the tossing vessel and the winds stop. The twelve were amazed and startled with fear, astonished; Jesus knew right away they’ve already forgotten the miracle of the loaves. Look, nothing Jesus does or what happens around Him supernaturally should have been of any surprise to the chosen followers. (Mark 6:45-52)

Forgetting about the loaves meant the disciples were full of doubt. They ignored or couldn’t recall, perhaps both the recent miracle and past victory Jesus just preformed because of this doubt that rested first in their minds. They could only recognize the now not considering the successes of past events or any history of Jesus who was teaching them first hand. Their building blocks being disregarded had them at square one regardless of what they’ve experienced with Him. They considered not the loaves.

If you consider the loaves/your loaves by not forgetting your victories, but recalling them standing firm and true without doubt, because what God did once He’ll do again, and your dilemmas finding their cure in God’s Word which is part of all our loaves, those dilemmas will not succeed or profit against you and doubt will have a harder time surfacing (Isaiah 54:17).  

When challenges come consider the loaves, when in doubt consider the loaves, if you feel boxed in consider the loaves, discontent consider the loaves, between a rock and a hard place consider the loaves, depressed consider the loaves, stressed consider the loaves, full of anxiety consider the loaves, that which is hard to understand, consider the loaves, and any lie by Satan with possibilities of corruption becoming apparent in your thoughts, consider the loaves. And I’ll add this, If your desires are in agreement with God’s Word; again hold firm, consider the loaves, because the gates of Hell can’t stop them, (Matthew 16:18).

Gaidi

Word of note: In the verse (Matthew 16:18) the church mentioned means people not buildings. The gates of Hell can’t stop what God’s has planned for you, before you do. Considering the loaves in your life removes doubt, but not to consider the loaves, and you’ll most often get out of the gate already at a lost with way too much ground and time to make up.

Atheist and Non-Believers this post is for you

When I get into conversations with atheist and non-believers, and it’s not often; I tell them I’m a born-again/saved Christian, then I get hit with them saying the Holy Bible was written by man, and is used to keep people on their knees rather than for them to get up and do something for themselves, it fools people and makes them passive, just to name a few…. Well, all right, okay, let’s take them one by one.

Yes the Bible was written by man but it’s so profound in its philosophy that if men wrote it as a ploy, a tactic, then why does it work for the people you’re trying to fool, because it does exactly what it says it will do if you live by it. And why would you write a book telling me if I don’t live by it certain consequences will happen, and it does; then YOU go about NOT believing what you wrote and just as you stated stuff happens to you that’s in the book precisely the way it’s written when you don’t live by it which you choose not to. Why would you write and insert (1st Corinthians 2:14) saying without the Spirit of God you can’t understand what’s written in the book, so, you not believing in YOUR book means you can’t understand what YOU wrote…. Amazing. All scripture is inspired by God, not man, but profitable to him if used correctly. Which means it was God who inserted (1st Corinthians 2:14) through men who were encouraged with His intervention through righteous that wrote the entire Holy Bible, (2nd Timothy 3:16).

It keeps people on their knees rather than doing something for themselves. Again, here’s a list of Passages in the Holy Bible saying every battle has victory with prayer and believing, and those who do it have sweatless victory, so, why would you write and insert, (Mark 11:24), (John 16:23, 24), (Matthew 21:22), (John 15:7), (James 1:5) and they’re many more I won’t list saying if you don’t do this, you’ll have battle after winless battle. We’ve been at War since 2011 with no victory in sight, and we lost the war in Vietnam also. There was no victory, we just left. Thousands upon thousands of our Military died in that undeclared War and we just left. There was no prayer believing, just money receiving at the expense of lives.

It fools people and makes them passive. Mary birthed Jesus and raised Him from a newborn until He was a grown Man. His life was cut off when He was arrested but they didn’t just arrest Him, they destroyed and humiliated Him and Mary was there. While Jesus was being beaten, disfigured beyond recognition and human likeness; marred so that He didn’t even resemble a man (Isaiah 52:14), Mary didn’t say a word. While Jesus was nailed to the cross and hung in shame, naked, exposed in front of all to see; mocked, Mary said nothing. Do you think Jesus kept His Mother in the dark about His fate? Do you think Jesus didn’t minister to His Mother, schooling her, prophesying to her about things the Twelve weren’t even privy to so she’d have understanding about her Son’s life purpose, destiny and ending so she wouldn’t do something foolish when that hour came? Any mother worth her weight seeing her baby dismembered, maimed and slowly murdered would lie through her teeth screaming insanely at the top of her lungs; STOP IT! CUT HIM DOWN! I LIED, I LIED I’M TELLING YOU! CUT HIM DOWN AND TAKE ME! GOD, HE’S INOCENT AND DONE NOTHING WRONG, HE WAS ONLY PROTECTING ME! STOP IT, STOP IT PLEASE! CUT MY BABY DOWN! But she didn’t, there was no need to. She knew her Son was God in the flesh; still she’s His Mother with unyielding love and devotion as she watched her Son’s final fulfillment of prophesy that was to end His physical presence on earth, so weeping was her only outlet of grief. She wept because she knew, they knew. She was passive because she knew, they knew. If nothing else believe the affection of a mother’s love who’d die in her innocent baby’s place if she’d could; it would’ve only taken a simple little lie, but she stood mute because she knew, they knew, so all she did was weep. (John 19:25).…..Yeah, all you atheist and non-believers, this post is for you.

Word of note: For those that were touched reading this post as I was writing it, take a moment while still moved and listen to Aretha Franklin’s hit, “Mary Don’t You Weep” on YouTube.

Even the elect will be deceived

Jesus is coming soon people. This too, no one will be immune from the prophetic truth of the last days and end times quoted in the Holy Bible, not even the born/again saved. Psalms 91 is a promise to help all of us get through the circumstances of things to come, but.

All God-fearing people claim they do obedience, but the obedience most of us are doing is works, not faith. We try to do the right thing by God. We try to live a certain way by God but is it His choice or ours? If it’s ours, and most likely it is, then it’s not obedience but the deception. Let’s face it; we’ve been duped out the gate. Not many of us are living or doing God’s will and purpose at all but we’re trying to do the best we can playing the hand dealt that more than likely wasn’t dealt by God but by the Deceiver trying to keep you/us from our true destiny. Again, what you’re doing could be keeping you quite cozy and comfortable, ask Wall Street executives, but pleasure seeking and material gain is not God’s Will for you. Seeking pleasure and material gain is a deception and not of God. (1 Tim. 6:9, 10), (Isa. 55:2), (Rom. 8:5-9), (Heb. 13:5), (Matt. 6:21).

If you’ve been given a word from God, will you do it? Of course the right answer is yes, and most of the elect hope so. There are choices we make that are good in reason, but contradictory to God’s purpose for you/us. When we step off into that contradiction, we want God to agree, but should He, and why, we’re being deceived and it’s by the Adversary. Just because it’s good doesn’t make it God’s Will for you, but you/we assume His favor doing these things even though we’re off track deceived and often don’t know it. Here’s what happens.

When we’re off track we’re ignorant of knowing God’s Will because of deception and we fall into accordance of Bible prophecy pleasing Satan, and if continued we assume all the responsibility of what happens to us; don’t blame God when it happens, He didn’t do it you/we did. You’re the one out there and out of bounds instead of over here; calling God to the rescue when things go awry; confused. All the pain, suffering and the ups and downs we experience while struggling is not of God’s choosing because He chose another direction for us but we don’t know it because faith and patience is required and we’re all into works trying and trying.

Deceiving is deception and deception comes in many disguises so don’t think of it as only being tricked, fooled or betrayed painfully. Being deceived doesn’t always present itself as abnormal. In fact what’s normal or what’s being largely accepted as normal could be called group deception. Cheating is a form of deception, lying is a form of deception, exaggeration is a form of deception, many group norms are deceptions regardless of their innocence; how we go about our everyday’s working hard trying to get ahead waiting for the ship to come in taking two steps forward and one step back, then two steps backwards and one forward happens because of deception, the guilty winning in court because of high-priced lawyers that are gifted in deception, politicians saying this and doing that is all part of the game of deceiving. Living above your means, accumulating debt is living deceived. Trying to double your money by chance is living deceived and it’s advertised to make it so easy that you do it, and it’s found in all forms of marketing; you can’t get away from it. All the beautiful casinos are built on losses. Legal fornication in Nevada is false love and recreational exploitation of someone’s body; an intimacy deception disguise as meaningful. Legal drug abuse disguised as medical benefit. Legal alcohol altering a sober state of mind disguised as fun and prestigious. Believing you are not your brother’s keeper disguising selfishness and self-centeredness. Am I becoming clear? Then the government saying it can produce jobs, how when it manufacturers and sells nothing. Look, to create more jobs, does it mean shoddy products because businesses need turnover to keep people hired; quality products less jobs because of less turnover, and don’t mention the poor directory assistance operator, technology has taken care of that, and actually do you think the Space Station could last floating in space with what they sell us; honest deception. The medical industry wanting to treat you rather than cure you. Lasting and repeat revenue is in treatment not cure. A pill that cost $0.10 to make is sold for $100 or more for treatment rather than minerals, herbs and lifestyle changes for cure, (Rev. 22:2). Also search the 14 herbs of the Bible by Dr. Axe food and medicine for the breakdown. I’m getting long so I’ll stop here.

Deceiving and its deceptions is a way of life today, and the Granddaddy of all deception is the rejection of the resurrected Jesus and His shed blood that defeated the deceptions and deceiving ways of Satan, aka the Deceiver and his lies for the love of now; disguising with every deception he can to keep you from your true destiny, but with the grace of God and His Devine understanding you’ll overcome anything Satan can concoct hidden or not.

If you’re out there and don’t know your purpose because you haven’t got a word from God, you’re deceived, and if you’re saved you’re part of the elect fulfilling the prophetic word; In the last days even the elect if possible will be deceived. (Mathews 24:24)

Familiarity or Prejudgment

The Lord spoke to Moses, to speak to Aaron and his sons, to tell Israel. (Numbers 6: 22, 23)

How many people can get your attention? How many people can reach, teach or even give information to you? This is a good question because just any PERSON can’t tell us anything because we’re not going listen to them, we might look at them but we’re not going to listen to them, we might hear them but we’re not going to listen to them, and worse yet, we’ll pick and choose part of what they’re saying and run with it rather than try to understand the entire content of their message while not listening. Politicians do this for a living all the time. Blah blah blah going into one ear and out of the other if you’re speaking and they have no regard for you. So, if it’s not what YOU’VE deemed required listening, who do you let in? I bet you can name them on one hand and it doesn’t matter if you’re born again/saved either. We don’t let just anybody into our inner-circle to influence us; we’ll mentally turn them off. We might be polite about it, but we’re not really going to listen.

How many of us will refuse a hand bill being passed out by a stranger? They didn’t have to say anything, but just the sheer fact they’re trying to hand you something is automatically in your eye something you don’t need and can do without. Prejudgment is a real problem in this world. Familiarity is a real problem in this world. Being too familiar with me can limit me helping you. This happened to Jesus, (Mark 6:1-5) He was preaching at home and they took offense at Him; He was too familiar. Here is God trying to teach them something but because of familiarity/prejudgment He couldn’t get anything done, so He left.

When God answers prayer, most times He sends a person; a messenger, and it’s up to you/us to hear the answer to your/our prayer in something they said or did, but if that person is too familiar or you’ve prejudged them, you can’t hear from God if he’s the one God sent. (Numbers 6: 22,23) is a good example of how God sometimes works. Paraphrasing, if you had issues with Aaron or any of his sons, you couldn’t hear from God. If it was Moses who could only get your attention, reach, teach or even give information to you; you’re out because God didn’t send Moses, He told Moses to tell Aaron and his sons to tell YOU. See my point.

You don’t have to love me in order for God to use me for your sake. I probably wouldn’t know anything about your situation in the first place and so what if I did, but you have a need and let’s say hypothetically God sends me unknowing and innocent to you but because you’ve already pre-judged me about what-ever or I’m too familiar with you; being it’s your character and way of life to shut people off based on your prejudices and pride because you know God couldn’t possibly send me because He knows how you feel about me, but you really need an answer from God, hey, hold on to your ways but keep praying and maybe, just maybe, God might finally come around understanding His mistakes; repenting unto you and see things your way and change. Yeah right.

How long is too long

If someone said they were going to do something for you, how long would you wait before you come to the conclusion that they were lying. I believe not long. Even if they gave you a time and date I’d still believe not long, why, because it happens to me too much these days, and I bet it happens to you, or are you part of the impatient club, anyway, that’s just how it is these days.

We see in movies where the young hopeful and trusting girl says, “I’ll wait for you” as her love goes away. In life, War does this to many; job replacement and career changes do it to others, and for some, Prison. But how long is too long to wait and be true to another person’s word? Imagine not hearing from someone you were waiting for years, could you stand it? No! Would you? No again.

In today’s fast world of social media, loyalty while waiting is extremely short. How long can you be faithful without some type of movement? I don’t know, maybe it depends on the individual and their track record with you, but even then?

Nevertheless, in the Holy Bible Abraham was put to that test. He stood on faith for thirteen years when a messenger of God told him he and his wife were going to have a child; they were already old and past their childbearing age. But as the years went by and getting older they quit, moved on, and so would you; the nerve of some people. They decided to involve a surrogate but the one that told them what they thought was impossible in the first place finally spoke again telling them that was a bad move after they’d been trying, waiting, and finally taking matters into their own hands for thirteen years and nothing; not a word nor a baby. Consequently bad things happened. (Genesis 15:2-4) (Genesis 16:1-5) (Genesis 16:16) (Genesis 17:1) (Genesis 17:17-19).

When we get a word from whom Abraham got his telling us something in our lives is going to be spectacular that we’ll be doing or achieve, don’t try to hurry it up and don’t doubt, or quit, keep steady because nothing will stop it. (Isaiah 55:11)

Jesus told the disciples in the midst of an oncoming storm to sail too the other side. This meant they were going to make it to the other side period (Luke 8:22-24). When God told Jonah to go this way and he went that, he got gobbled up by a whale, spit out and told to go too that he said no. (Jonah 2:10) (Jonah 3:1-3). God told the Israelite army to walk around a city seven times and at the sound of the trumpets yell and make all the noise you can and you’ll see victory over that City when the walls collapse and crash. (Joshua 6:15 and 20). Folks these are examples of doing obedience by trusting, believing, and not quitting; we’re to just do it.

Just a couple more while I’m on this roll, Jesus’ mother told waiters at a wedding, just do it. (John2:5) and Moses was told just do it, but it was forty years later when it happened. (Acts 7:25 and 30), Whew! I’m done.

Scripture tells us God will never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6) and we have many examples in the Holy Bible of this truth, and it’s true today. So how long is too long? I don’t know, but if it’s a word from God, never.

Don’t spoil God’s Word

In quiet time/prayer this morning I was praising God letting Him know how safe, how protected, how assure, how peaceful, how anointed, and how powerful I felt while in my quiet spot surrounded by His presence. But after leaving, even though I felt those things, my members didn’t feel like that glory was there anymore when I left. What a downer. It felt as if I left all that awesome splendor in my quiet spot, and a few of those blessed feelings got washed away when I walked out of the room. Feeling upset as I got ready for the day, I just stopped, grabbed the sides of my head and with a gasp said, Nooooooo! and asked, how can that happen and how can I stop it. Do I need more Word, or do I need to stay in my quiet spot and not come out? Then suddenly this message from God hit me. Here was His reply.

“G”, you can never relax on the Word, never. The Word is like food that needs refrigeration, outside the refrigerator for too long it spoils. YOU, away from the Word too long will spoil it because of worldly interferences and attacks that start immediately. When you leave your quiet spot, you feel the spoiling taking place at once. Staying in the Word often, will soon freeze the Word inside your members and the spoiling process will take longer because it will become frozen inside of you; forming itself so solid it’ll become as a Glacier in your soul and temporary removal outside into a hostile environment will have little if no effect. Solid as a rock as you guy’s say; then what you feel inside your quiet spot will be what you feel outside of it, now go read (Matthew 13:3-8).

My reply, Thank you Jesus, Glory be to God; well revealed as always.

Understanding

Understanding is the master key to everything you’ll ever do physically or spiritually, so don’t get the notion for one bit that (Proverbs 4:7) doesn’t pertain to you if you’re a non-believer and you’ve happen to stumbled onto this blog.

Yes, I will come across as often as I can to illustrate understanding based on Revelation from God, because I ain’t that smart about many of the penetrating thoughts I’ll be posting.

Without understanding, God’s Wisdom and Knowledge can go untapped and can create confusion which is what (Proverbs 4:7) confesses that it doesn’t want which many non-believing groups fall into.

So, for the sake of understanding take a moment to consider this, that you don’t do what you don’t understand, so the less you understand the less you do, and the less you do will define your situation in life.

Limited understanding equals a poor standard of living, which is the cause for many of life’s pitfalls in just about everything.

I hope I don’t chase you away but I am calling you out because the lack of understanding is bondage, is boring, and is sad.

You may not find the answer here, but from here you might go try and find the answer.

If nothing else, enjoy this mind opening blog and maybe just maybe icon me on your front page.

The mystery of a new day

What is a new day like for you? Do you give it a thought or are you too busy? Do you go with the flow or have a set plan? Are you excited or don’t you care? Is it in your control or is it controlled by others? Will you be happy, sad, or indifferent? No matter what, it is YOUR day and what kind of day it will be is where the mystery lies.

Everything I mentioned above pertains to events. It’s the events of a new day that make it a mystery, and how these events affect you make it good or bad. The events of the day are determining factors that say your day is controlled by you or controlled by others, and how you accept it is how you’ll grade it.

Many of us fall into the hive sponsored by webs of events, so our day goes this way and that way by the hour. People and things shine or rain on our parade. This is a sad way to live and eventually gets old so you try to expand events putting your eggs into this basket and that basket hoping it provides the day you’re looking for.

Now I’ll try to solve the mystery.

You can’t have a good day based on events only; your good day begins with YOU being the event, and for nothing in return…Whaaat! Yes, I said it right. No matter what happens in a day when you’re the benefactor/giver looking for no return in all that happens which you’re involved, your day was outstanding. I’m not saying not to be paid for your effort/labor; I’m saying your mindset should deem it secondary if at all.

You’re not indebted because of pay or the lack there of. The end does not justify the means here. You’re paid by the works of the Holy Spirit, (Did I lose anybody?) who will open the doors of wealth for you when you least expect it because of what you bring, large or small, and it how you bring it, (Attitude). Used rightly and you’ll always have a good day, but use it poorly and selfishly and your day will be event-based and always a mystery.

The outlook for a good day is not what’s in it for you but what’s in it for others whose lives you touch in a given day for the better regardless of reward. This kind of day has no failures making it a good day. This kind of day factors out the mysteries of events bought on daily as the calendar changes. This kind of day solves,…The mysteries of a new day.

Freedom without God according to King Solomon

I came across an article in a magazine I read called “Mornings with Jesus.” It’s daily devotional published by “Guidepost” in their July/August 2016 issue. It reads.

Thursday, July 7th

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun, Ecclesiastes 2:11 (NIV) the Holy Bible “New International Version.”

If anyone knew anything about “the good life” it was King Solomon. Possessing more fame, wealth, and power than anyone on Earth. He had unlimited resources at his disposal. After Solomon’s heart strayed from God, he undertook magnificent building projects, amassed servants and wives, and experimented with every earthly pleasured he desired. Late in his reign, he looked back over the wasted years he’d spent searching for fulfillment. Although Solomon had found temporary pleasure in his pursuit, he concluded that all his endeavors lacked real meaning and lasting satisfaction. He might as well have been chasing the wind.

A depressing view of life, and quite a contrast to what Jesus offers in John 10:10, “I come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Jesus lived and died so that we can have a life of meaning and purpose, enjoying fellowship with him and each other. We can chase after material wealth, popularity, or earthly achievements, but we end up feeling empty. Or we can follow Jesus, striving to know, love, and serve Him better each day, and have an abundant life.

The satisfaction that comes from earthly pleasures doesn’t last. The deep, abiding joy that springs from Walking with Jesus everyday is permanent. Compared with the rich spiritual blessings our Savior generously pours out, the best the world has to offer amounts to nothing. Why would I want to chase after the wind when I can follow the only One who gives life.

Dianne Neal Mathews

Faith Step: Think about where you’ve been focusing your time and effort lately. If you’ve been chasing after worldly pleasures, make a commitment to turn in the other direction and flowing Jesus instead.

….

What a nice follow-up about to the post called “Freedom” about someone who had it ALL, and I mean so much ALL, you nor anyone you know can imagine, and it was all for naught without Jesus. Solomon was the freest man on earth. He was King and afforded corruption, there was no enforcement to stop any type of pleasure he could imagine. He had no equal but realized without Jesus it was meaningless, lonely and empty; in bondage chasing wind. Look, if we don’t learn from our History we’ll repeat it.

Freedom

Freedom, who has it. What does it mean to be free, and where does it begin. I’ll be quick, freedom’s gone, and it’s been gone. It’s no such thing anymore. We all have ideas of freedom but those ideas are not freedom, example: Doing what YOU want, when YOU want, and how YOU want is not freedom, its self-gratification and its cousins are self-centeredness, selfishness, and pride because everything involves your self-interest and begins and ends with YOU; also all these self’s are sins according to the Bible but if you want to rule out the Bible — and I’m not, let me just say this, your freedom ends where my nose begins.

If everyone had the belief that freedom was hands off and acted it out, everything would be in chaos. Let’s pause a moment and look at our world today. Everything is in chaos, why, because the world chases the idea of freedom assuming it’s the right to act sinful or not if so desired believing that’s what life’s all about, but sin affects everything. Without sin this world couldn’t function because it’s fashioned itself on it and its profits; sin is part of the global economy underground or not. This world is so corrupt that corruption itself is becoming the norm. If you don’t have or are into some type of scheme no matter how small or often it presents itself, something must be wrong with you no matter if you’re the anchor or the participant.

Capitalism today has become legal exploitation because its evolved into a mixed economy,(A mixed economy is an economy that provides protectionism for companies that excludes you from being competitive with them based on favoritism, big money and territorial rights, just to name a few.). Example: Goodyear can borrow money to sell tires in the millions, but you can’t get a cent to do the same even though it’s a known fact that tires sale, it’s a billion dollar industry. It’s the product not the company, or should I say that’s the way it should be, (call this favor). Coca-Cola and Budweiser distribute beverages, but you try to distribute a beverage they don’t sell and the answer is no, you’ll have to go through a known qualified distributor, (call this protectionism). Have an idea but slow getting it off the ground because of money; watch big business gobbled it up. (call this big money). I could go on but I think you get the picture, so let me get back on point. This protectionism produces inferior products to increase their bottom line, and eliminates players, (call this legal exploitation, and territorial rights). This exploitation, deceit and manipulation makes the world go round for a select few. Our universities teaches us how to navigate this system so it works for the few and when we work it successfully this world calls it shrewd.

Our political system is in shambles, we have the United States of the Democrats and the United States of the Republicans but no United States of America any more. Why is each party so different if we all want the same thing which is freedom, but freedom of what and from who? Is it freedom to manipulate the system and its progress? Is it freedom to maneuver the Supreme Court politicizing objective law? Is it freedom to tamper with voters rights? Is it freedom to discriminate against people on our Southern borders but not our Northern? Manipulation, discrimination, backstabbing all in the name of freedom? I’ll add the drug business with its life destroying product, the sex business with it’s exploitation, the gambling business building empires off losses, the liquor business with its false marketing of peace, fun, and games, Wall Street with its corruption, the medical industry treating you rather then healing you for repeat business, and insurance companies with their irregularities doing whatever. Need I say more?

This world can’t truely produce or offer freedom because it’s marred in sin and needs it to operate….I’ll take a breath….Now the good part.

The world operates like this because of Satan who has claims to it because of Adam and Eve, (Luke 4:6). It’s been said and known for a while freedom ain’t free, there’s a price to pay and I agree if you’re looking at the world to give it to you, but if you want free freedom that’s available to all, you’ve got to receive Jesus, then watch the transformation, see the difference and feel the changes that will happen to you metaphorically, then go tell somebody afterwards, next say a small prayer later they’ll get what you’ve gained.

Word of note: (Ecclesiastes 2 :1-26) in the New Century Version of the Bible and in the Message Version of the Bible is an eye-opener too; it’s about life in this physical world from someone who had it all, mankind’s only multi-trillionaire — King Solomon.

For fun look up Curtis Mayfield’s 1970 hit song, “If it’s hell below we’re all going to go.”You’ll hear lyric proclaiming the signs of the times then with no change of those times today a half centry later giving fact to (Luke 4:6). and the beat goes on until the return of Jesus.
