To: whomever wishes to comment and discuss. What do you think about this article? What are your own personal viewpoints and stance on the topics touched on in this article? What points do you believe the article contains that are valid or not? Please use scriptures to support your position and views, as this will enhance the topic for general discussion.  

 

“the author and finisher of our faith” Hebrews 12:1-3

  1. Who is the Author of your faith? Is it God or the Flesh? 
  2. Do you trust Jesus Christ for your Finances according to Matthew 6:33 or The Finance Company and your ability to earn money through this world’s financial schemes and debts? 
  3. Do you trust Jesus Christ for your health or do you trust the Doctors and the medical system and health insurance? 
  4. Do you Trust Jesus Christ for your protection and the protection of your Items? Or do you carry insurance on them or on yourself? 
  5. Who is your Faith in? The medical system, the insurance company, the credit card, or the college education? 
  6. Where are you laying up your treasure of your investments and savings? Is it God and His Kingdom? Or is it the latest fad on the stock market and the best 401k and IRA? 

 

Now many people will say “both” as an answer to many of these questions because they will not be honest with themselves and don’t want to fall into the category of “not trusting God.” 
To digress for a moment to explain that a 401k, college education and saving your money are not signs of not trusting God in and of themselves, however it is the heart motive behind them that counts. 

 

 

Going into debt to borrow money from the world finance systems, or getting health, wealth and life insurance or dependency on the medical system of this world do indicate the clear unscriptural placement and authorship of one’s faith. Many will fall into the area of not knowing any better of how to trust God alone in all these areas. Still others will know and have heard God’s word regarding the matters of trusting Him and gone on with doing it their own way. These two groups are both going to suffer loss of reward; just one is going to suffer worse than the other. 

 

 

This is not written to those who already know, but to the ones who do not. Why? So that you can take heed that God and His word do have an opinion of how a life of faith looks and is to be lived. The Bible gives many clear principles on how to live a life of faith. If you do not live a life of faith according to the scriptures you cannot be pleasing to God. You are not given an assurance of God’s highest rewards in the life to come and are excluded from many categories of richness in Him apart from faith. It is not so much a question of salvation being lost, but who wants to be saved as if by fire? Or as some say “the skin of your teeth”? Seek to walk by faith totality, in complete discipleship and submission to God."

it is my opinion that a person who can afford health insurance and does not have it... is a fool. if a person has a medical problem that requires long term medical care and he refuses to use it.... he is a fool. if you die and you have no life insurance and leave your wife and kids without means of livelyhood you are an ignorant fool... if you don't get some kind of education you deserve to do hard labor all your life.....

just my personal thoughts....

I kinda agree with you all the things listed above should be done for yourself and wife and kids. In schools today a child gets what ever they need ( ex. one on one teaching ) so they have a better chance for a good education than back in my school days it was not like it is now.

you did bring matt 5:22 to my mind.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
