Your Time Matters

What we do with our time does matter. Life was not intended to be strictly about money and what we can do with it. Rather, it is the way we spend our time. What we do with our hands and feet. What we do with our minds and our voices. Does getting a job at McDonald's really set a good example? Working at a restaurant that promotes poor health and adds absolutely nothing good to the world except food addiction? Or how bout working at a factory that takes all your time just to help someone else get rich to fulfill their own greed? Does it not matter to you? As long as you only work there you are not responsible for what happens to anyone else. Right? WRONG.

GOD sees things differently. Even though He certainly understands what you're going through. He also knows that we all need to seek Him. And the path we are on is usually the wrong one. Today, the typical person has come to believe that we can seek and know GOD every Sunday at church. While going back to our circular path that leads nowhere each and every day. That's the same as living in denial. Making a fool out of yourself. GOD built each and every one of us with a purpose in mind. When He decided to build YOU, He did not send you here to work at McDonald's or any other evil minded greed infested business. People today have become too tolerant and have fallen at the mercy of norms. Nearly every so-called Christian you have ever met walks the walk of an atheist. Going through all the same traditional predetermined paths towards the mighty dollar sign. Or even towards prestige and vanity.

When the great GOD comes into your life, He does not leave you on such a path. Such a path is nothing but an unhealthy distraction away from all important things. We were meant to be living more simply and peacefully. And I am sure that even those that live a life of hustle and bustle would agree. But they would also agree that to get to a peaceful life, you need lots of money. And they claim that's what they are working towards. That way of thinking is the same as saying "We don't need a GOD to get there. We can do it on our own." That seems to be the motto of the world today. The problem with such a motto is that it guarantees you nothing. Because your life isn't guaranteed at all. You could be gone tomorrow. And you have absolutely no power to prevent it from happening. GOD is bigger than you. Stronger than you. And He can decide what happens. You are tiny and fragile. And with all that money piled up high, next to you. You could drop dead and it wouldn't go with you.

Furthermore. If you do happen to live to be 100 years old. Then what? You going to finally sit down one day and tell yourself you've lived a long good life and now you're ready to go? Where are you going to go? Do you ever ask yourself that? Wherever you do go, how long are you going to be there? What is it going to be like? Does this life have an influence on what happens when we get there? Will we die today or tomorrow? Are we just robots who break and get buried in the dirt?

Life today has sunken into  pit of meaningless existence that satisfies nothing but greed. And that word isn't fully defined in the minds of the many. People are becoming dumber, not smarter. The concept of wisdom today is laughable. And anyone who knows will say that wisdom is always born yesterday. Not today. Trust your ancestors. They knew better. But no one knows better than GOD. And He will gladly set you straight. But only if you surrender to Him. He is the only one that can save you. This life means alot less when you live it like it's your last. But if you live it like you're going somewhere when you die, then it becomes alot different. GOD sent Jesus to be our best example of all on how to live our life. It could mean something a little different for each of us. It could be as simple as learning to put yourself last instead of first. Or giving your only shirt to a shirtless person. Passing up on that well planned vacation just to give the money to someone in need. Risking your own life to save someone else's. This would all be defined by churches as "works salvation". But, it isn't the work that matters. It's the conscience that drives you to it. Walking the walk of a selfless person who requires nothing at all in return. No appreciation. Nothing. Only to humbly serve the One Mighty GOD who made you and put you here for a reason. The world is full of opportunities all of the time to help lead the lost to a holy path. Spending your time working at McDonald's isn't going to help you or anyone else. We need to be leading others out of a life that only empowers the rich and foolish. And instead, into one that puts GOD on the pedestal He belongs. We were made to do such things. It is entirely possible to do something grande in this world that the whole world would not understand or appreciate. But GOD knows all things. Including what you do and why you do it. And He is the one we should want to please. Because He is our true Father.

There is but only ONE Church!

All labeled religions are false. Including Christianity. But the Scriptures in the Holy Bible are TRUTH.

So did I just make a contradiction? Not at all. The Christians take from the Holy Bible. But they are nothing more than a modern social club. Churches. All have fallen away from the true path that Jesus Christ carved. They are cowards. They are NOT risk takers. They are smug in all their social gathering, field trips, youth groups. They call it "fellowship". They are selective in what they exploit from the Bible to maintain their cults. That's why its possible to have many different denominations of churches all using the same book.

But when you use 100% of the doctrine, you get ONE CHURCH. And its not a worldly institution. The fact is that when Jesus promoted church, He was referring to our commitment and relationship to GOD. Not to people. Not to a pastor. To GOD. It is a personal one. We come into this world separate from everyone else. And we go out of it by ourselves. There is a string between YOU and GOD. And it is very important that you understand that. Because there is not a single ritual or sacrament in this world that will hand you to HIM. When Jesus died, all rituals were destroyed. No longer valid. So when you see people like the Jews still fasting and doing their rituals, they are foolishly rejecting Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice to GOD.

Someone mentioned prayer. It is a hypocrisy to pray in churches or out in the open. People tend to do things that aren't honest with their hearts when its in front of others. But if you went into a closet and prayed silently to GOD, it would be sincere. Keep it personal and sincere. And also know that you pray with your heart. Not your mouth. Not your knees. You sit in silence on the couch before bedtime when you can clear your mind. Or when you're alone driving down the road. And you hope and invite the Lord into your life. Trust that He will come and guide you. We don't use GOD to ask for favors. We don't bargain with Him. If anything, we should be sacrificing our lives. Shedding off all our bad habits and baggage. Making room inside ourselves and our life for Him to fill the void.

Jesus gave us a few steps. The first is to learn and understand. Something He did constantly with people and for His disciples. It took time. But this Knowledge came from above. Not from a book. Once Jesus passed on, the disciples relied on further information from above. The Spirit dwelled in their lives. EACH disciple's life. Not as a group. Each one tried to go back to their old life when Jesus passed on. But failed. Because once you have committed to Him, He will infiltrate your heart, and you will fail at everything else.

Once we come to know so much, He will send the Spirit into our lives to further enlighten and guide us. But this will only happen when you commit to Him in your heart. He talked about entering through the small gate. Meaning you can't get through it with baggage. You MUST leave your old life behind. In other words. Get rid of everything that you don't absolutely need in your life. Video games. Politics. Cigarettes. Porn. Whatever. How much are you willing to prove to Him? Once you commit you cannot go back. You will not. Because when you commit with your heart, it never leaves you.

He also talked about beyond the gate is the narrow path. Meaning there's little room for screwing up. Chances are, if you are committed, and the Spirit comes into your life, He will be guiding you. He becomes the balancing pole that helps you across the guide wire. And keep in mind. This path is not of the world. So your life will no longer be like walking through a shopping mall. Being distracted by temptation and such. ALTHOUGH. Once we are deeply rooted at a later point, we will be strong enough to be around temptation without being taken by it. Without the Spirit of GOD literally in our lives, we are DOOMED to fail every walk. The church walks the false path. And Jesus told us this.

Modern Music, Movies, Video Games, News - EVIL!!!

Modern music is a form of incantations. As sensational as it may be, the way it makes you feel has little to do with its true nature or reason. Yes. GOD gave us music. But music long ago did not resemble that of today.

Long ago when there was a lack of technology, people would have simply sung together. And if there were instruments, they were crude but beautiful. More than likely string and/or woodwind instruments. The bottom line is that the music would have come directly from the hearts of those showing their love for the One True GOD. A sincere collaboration.

Today. Music is nothing of the kind. It is a spellbound form of self indulgence. And a way to make people envy and worship one another. It is used in many ways to lead people astray. At one time, the meaning of words certainly did matter. When you made a statement, it was the honest truth. If you sang the words, they were the honest truth. Today. The truth in words has become irrelevant. You can speak lies. You can sing lies. And people will praise you for it. You can make up all kinds of stories. It doesn't matter if it's true. And if that isn't bad enough. Most song lyrics set bad morals and paint a dark picture of the world.

That is where it coincides with the fact that FOCUS is the number one thing in this world that leads us. Because our focus comes from the heart. And we will follow it. The world intends to control our focus through everything we see and hear. Junk gets poured into us almost every day. We get brainwashed constantly. Being turned into something we were never meant to be. Led astray. Music is the number one tool in the world used to alter our focus. Just listen to the lyrics of music. Incantations repeated over and over. Pounding ideas into our minds. Wrapped in seductive and beautiful sounds that make our bodies want to move around. We are literally being swept off our feet with lies. And those who perform these spells are highly rewarded with fame (worship) and fortune (riches). They become kings in this world. yet, its like making a deal with the devil. They eventually fall hard. Because there is only ONE KING. And that is GOD.

Yet. Because we have been brainwashed over the last 100 years, it now seems normal for these things to happen to us. The truth has been turned upside down. And by knowing this now, you can understand why thousands of years ago, Jesus was leading people out and away from the ways of society. Because there is simply no way to stay exactly the way you are and accept GOD. In spirit, we are purified. Right down to the heart. Losing our love for the world and the things in it. A sincere love for GOD bears fruit in our life that shows love for family and nature. All the original things GOD gave us from day one. He did not mean for us to self indulge and love man-made technology. Those things lead us away from Him. And that is why we must be led away from the life we now have. We were told to raise children in the way they should go. Because they WILL be raised that way. If you raise them in the center of society, THAT is the way they will go! The wrong way!

FOCUS should be your MIDDLE NAME!

FOCUS.

Anyone who has listened to business seminars will often hear them discuss the word FOCUS. They will tell you that is the secret to success. So how does that apply to life in general?

The reason is because FOCUS is the most overlooked reality in this world. If you acknowledge GOD, and think about Good vs Evil, then you NEED to think about FOCUS. Because the evildoers that govern this world are using FOCUS against you. They already know that whatever you FOCUS on, it will be driven into your heart. And your heart is what leads you. Don't believe me?

Turn on the TV. Flip the channels. Look at all the things they want you to focus on. Listen to the radio. Notice all the sounds and words they want you to focus on. Read the paper. Browse the Internet. Look at what is on display in the check out line in stores. My friends. Your FOCUS is being hijacked every second of the day. And THAT is what your life will become. THAT will be YOUR SUCCESS, or failure depending on how you look at it.

FOCUS is something that JESUS CHRIST told us and showed us. Maybe not the way I am telling you right now. But it is my duty to tell you that FOCUS is at the top of the list. Because without it, everything else you do is in vain. You can have all the good intentions in the world. But still end up at the short end if you are not in full understanding of how our minds and spirits work. The filthy rich and powerful few that own and operate nearly everything in society already know these things. And they would love nothing more than to turn YOU and I into dumb cattle just to keep their bellies fed while we do all the work. They don't care about your soul. They don't care about your life. They would soon shoot you in the head. Toss you aside. And wait for the next foolish child to grow up and become a new head.

FOCUS is a real threat to the evil in this world. And when JESUS stated a future return, He meant this would come through a changing of life on this Earth for all people. The wealthy evildoers that spread greed and immorality will eventually fall. Only then will true love of human nature spread around the world and create unity and community unlike anything this world has ever seen since all of Creation.

So keep in mind. That just because you see or hear something. That does not mean you should pay attention. Sometimes, we need to flee from the dangers that infiltrate our focus. If someone nearby plays a song that sends the wrong message. Do not be afraid to complain. Do not be afraid to plug your ears or run. Begin caring about what goes into your eyes and ears. Because those are the doorways to your heart. And as I always say. The heart is what WILL lead you in life. You have no choice in that matter.

The KEY is your FOUNDATION

What is your foundation? What is holding you up? Is it strong? Will it last indefinitely? What truly defines us exists at a spiritual level completely separate from our material nature.

It is important to know this about yourself and others. Knowing what defines others and how to break them down is imperative to understanding the single most important thing in your life. Foundation. For instance. A person who uses money as their primary means of living their life would fall apart if you took away money. It isn't hard to notice these types of people today because our culture is heavily reliant upon using money as a means of survival. People often buy their way through life. Relying upon businesses to supply them with resources. Outsourcing it is called. If you need something, just buy it! Take away the money and you will not be able to survive. It has often been said that America was founded on Christian principles. And none of it is true. Because the government built this country with money and blood and created an individualistic style culture which is contrary to the unity that Jesus Himself promoted in His time. Our culture is founded on money. 

Everyone in this world has a foundation. Just like a tree cannot stand without the ground below it. GOD has created all things with some type of foundation. The foundation is the beginning of something. The one single thing that defines everything. The first words spoken from GOD were "In the Beginning..." which refers to the foundation of life. When we talk about roots, we are referring to foundation. Because the roots will determine the rest of any particular thing or person's life. A plant with a poor root system will not fair well later. Jesus often made reference to this in His own brilliant way.

Now ask yourself what defines you. What is your foundation. Think about all the things in your life that you can or cannot live without. You may not know this about yourself. And even if you think you do, you may be wrong. But you can think about this. If you had everything, including your family and friends taken away from you in a single day, would you live through it? We all depend on something or someone. We are not alone in our life. While it is beneficial to us to have family and friends to  shape our roots. There is one thing that should define our whole being or foundation. And that is GOD. Because anything and everything can be taken away from us. Even if it comes in the form of a government swooping in to take it all. The one thing that nobody can take away from you is GOD. And as long as He is your foundation in life, you will be just as strong with or without everything else. With that kind of constant contentment in life, there is little need for everything else. We become more frugal and without any commitment to a material life. A necessity based life is all we need. We live and grow spiritually. Our bodies die a little more each day. So while we're falling apart on the outside, we're growing on the inside. At least we should be. And we can be. Take your eyes off the money. Take the hands and feet GOD gave you and use them to survive without relying on money so much to do it. Do the work. Your body was meant to help yourself whenever you can.

You will be amazed to know that only GOD can rebuild your foundation to be strong enough to hold unlimited weight. You can easily see the signs in a person's life that they lack a commitment to GOD. Because you will see money and materialism infesting their life. It does not matter if they spend time in church or call themselves Christians. If they spend their time spending money to create a picture perfect image for all to see, then they lack GOD. It has been said they we cannot have GOD and the world both. Take your pick. The two cannot co-exist. Hence the reason why Jesus walked in a necessity based life only. He was a far cry from materialism!

100% All Natural

The modern world has an obsession with things that are deemed "natural". While some things were meant to be utilized in their natural state, like water and air, not all things that are natural are good for us. Some might argue since GOD creates all things, then all things are good in their natural state. But something being good does not necessarily mean "good for us". And here is why. Read the book of Genesis again. Try to remember that GOD gave Adam and Eve a warning to avoid the Forbidden Tree of Knowledge. So He knew that they would have a NATURAL tendency to approach that tree. Hence the reason why He gave them the additional knowledge to avoid it. And of course, they followed what came natural instead of denying their hearts and following GOD's principle.

That simple understanding should be enough to tell us that we are natural born sinners. And the only way to stay off that path is to deny ourselves and follow holy principles that were given to us from above. If you wonder why it is important to follow GOD instead of ourselves, then you need to read other articles I have posted on this website. Even better would be to actually read the Scriptures and pray each night for GOD to bring you the TRUTH. Denying our inner desires are an integral part of walking in Spirit. Not through rituals or religion. But by hating the sin in our hearts and instead choosing to love Jesus Christ wholeheartedly.

Now we look upon the world and see that is in no different than it ever was. Even since the Beginning. People have been denying GOD instead of themselves. Following their hearts and selfish desires. It does not matter if society uses a horse and buggy to travel, or automobiles. It does not matter if people wear southern dresses, bell bottom jeans, or leather suits. It does not matter who the President of the United States is. Underneath the image of it all, people are the same as they have always been for thousands of years. No matter what the official know-it-alls in the world say. They are liars. People have not changed. Society has not changed. It still centers around desire and greed. And the monetary system is still here to prove it. GOD's written Knowledge has proclaimed that people in this world will always be sinful. And that the only way out is through Him. It was true thousands of years ago. And it will ALWAYS be true. We need to accept this and become very skeptical of what the GODless world will tell us.

Dig deeper. Take notice of the political agendas that get pushed upon us through the "100% natural" scheme. They set us up by first setting up health schemes that are based on natural eating. They throw that word around very loosely in the media to get it engrained into the front of your mind. Over time, society accepts whatever is natural as all good. Next comes things such as homosexuality. Ready to be accepted by everyone because their feelings are "100% natural". If its natural, then it must be good. Right? NOT RIGHT!! They are misled in this world, without GOD. They are at the mercy of what society tells them. They do not deny the tendencies that are destructive to GOD's own principles. And as His written Knowledge has told us, GOD ALWAYS wins in the end. I am certain that in every case, real justice will take hold. And we must always walk in this kind of faith and trust. Even when the world around us seems unfair. We might even land in situations where our faith and trust are tested. How will we handle ourselves when we are at the butt end of the law? Always remember where you stand. Be ready for it every day. A Spirit led life is no smug life. Always be on guard. Because the world is 100% naturally driven by Sin.

Do you REALLY believe??

Romans 10:9


That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Reading this single passage from the Scriptures makes it easy to ignore everything else that was written. Just say outloud that you believe in Jesus Christ, and that GOD raised Him from the dead, and you're saved. Simple Huh? Not hardly.

In this world, seeing is believing. All you have to do to convince anyone in this world that you believe in anything is to say it aloud or write it down. Just to turn around and walk in hypocrisy. It does not have to reside in the heart. When Jesus died, the state of man did not change. He promised us He did not come to change a thing. We still walk in hypocrisy the same as we did thousands of years ago. The only difference is that we cannot simply "do things" to see salvation. Our efforts alone will get us nowhere. But efforts will be made to walk with Jesus Christ. Do you spot a contradiction in my words?

The key is to understand the heart. We can only believe with our hearts. Not our mouths. Our heart has a direct tie to our soul. Our mouth will profess what is in our heart. Whether it is based on Truth or Lies. And people will not always see the hypocrisy in the words of others. But GOD always knows. The Spirit will convict you when you sin. 

When we were told to "believe in thine heart", then that means our whole LIFE. Because if we believe in something with our heart, it will lead our life. Just like when someone has it in their heart to become a rock star, it will lead their life. To destruction no doubt. But nevertheless, if something fills our whole heart, it will lead us that way. Just like GOD was in Jesus' heart 100%. He was led that way. He told us to follow Him.

So if you stand in a church, and by mouth profess Jesus, then state you believe in His resurrection with your heart, you are NOT saved. Because if your life doesn't reflect your words, then you are a LIAR. And this does not mean trying to do good deeds for the rest of your life. This means stepping back away from the world and devoting yourself to GOD. Because anyone who accepts Him in their whole heart WILL have the desire to hate the world and instead love GOD with everything they have. This is self denial. This is sacrifice. Not as sacraments or rituals. But as a result of something. Just like Jesus truly loved the One True GOD. There is a HUGE difference between being around something because you love it versus being around it because you are forced to be. 

Jesus is to be our ultimate example. He didn't walk a walk for us to witness, just to contradict it all through "easy believism" that we see in all churches today. He did not die just to tear out a handful of pages from the New Testament. We are to do 100% of what He told us while He was here. He did not toss himself in harm's way for us to do nothing. He lived by the same example we are to live by. And that should NOT be taken lightly.

Now read the passage again. If you truly believe in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead, then you will believe everything else Jesus told us. And He told us plenty. Primarily to leave the ways of the world behind and follow Him. Just like the disciples did. To help bring others into the light of the TRUTH. Not by spending our lives building a personal fortune. There is no guarantee of a tomorrow. Your belief is where your heart is. Where is your heart guiding you?
