Chapter
The System
God loves us and wants to help us get back to him. We understand this by reading God’s word. We become familiar with his love and how he loves us. He loves us so much that he gave his only son to us. “And whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Because of this we can begin to make a connection with, the perfect example of what we should be, Jesus Christ.
Many of us don’t understand why we are pulled to one side than to the other. We try to do right and we want to be blessed by God but sometimes it feels like life just isn’t working out. This is because there is a constant battle going on in the mind. You have a natural mind and you have a spiritual mind. When you are saved by grace we call it carnal man vs. spiritual man. When we obey the world and we make decisions based on how our flesh feels then we are living by the influence of our carnal mind. This is the mind that the enemy tries to control. When we operate through the spirit than we yield the fruits of the spirit like, love, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. You see, if you really want to be happy, I mean truly happy, you have to operate by the spirit. This whole concept of carnal v.s. spiritual reminded me of this story:
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
It is necessary for us to be connected with God, his word, and his spirit. This is how we are building our relationship and building up our faith. When we spend time in the word we are programming the good stuff into our subconscious. We are programming what God has intended on being there. This is how you feed the spiritual man. Let us not be of a lazy mind. Instead let us do the work that is required of us to increase our faith. We increase our faith by building our relationship with God. We must trust that his word is, always was, and always will be. We must trust that God is the rewarder for those who diligently seek him. We must trust and obey that God knows what is right and that he will not lead us astray. We must trust in God, not in man.
The enemy wants us to trust in the system. I have heard in many professional developments, conferences, and MLM seminars, “trust the system, work the system.” It has been programmed in my natural mind for a long time that I should do what I am told, follow along with what everyone else is doing. Go to school, get a job, walk how everyone else walks, talk how everyone else talks, dress how everyone else dresses. But I will not do this anymore. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I am above and not beneath, I am the head and not the tail. The only system that I want to follow is the one I was made for because it holds my best interests at heart. It fulfills all my needs and desires. It satisfies. It holds promises for me and the biggest of those promises is eternal life. So I choose God and I guess that makes me strange and peculiar. I am not like everybody else. You are not like everyone else.
The word rebukes the system of this world. He tells us in his word “Lay not for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:19-21
Let me tell you the enemy is slick in his devices and he knows where your heart is. This is why it is so easy for him to take the objects of your affections and make you run after them like a mouse in a maze. The enemy is the thief that the Lord is talking about in the passage.
If your property is not protected by a hedge of the Lord, the enemy will find every way to take it away from you just to cause you grief. And without a strong foundation in the Lord, you will be extremely hurt and even more set back on the path to your destiny. The enemy wants you to meander the paths of life so that he delays you in receiving your real fulfillment. Jesus does satisfy and he will take care of our every need. He says: “take no thought for your life what ye shall eat nor what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?. . . But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” Matthew 6:25-33.
I really suggest you go back and read that part because Jesus is saying that he has us. He is going to take care of everything from our food, housing, clothes, and job. He said the daisey’s don’t work hard so why should we. That curse is over and we are delivered from that. These following comments are for Christians living in the United States: God placed us in this rich country for a reason. We need to be thankful and feel blessed that we are not living in huts with dirt floors. We are living in the lavish luxuries of this country and all we can find the time to do is complain, complain, complain. We really have to stop complaining about our lives and start taking action to change our lives. With our complaints we are showing God that we are not appreciative of his blessings. This goes against the law. We need to be thankful unto him and bless his name or we will not be protected from the devour of our enemy. God wants us to go back to him and be his people once again so that we can be blessed. If we are blessed we can bless others. He says “I am the Lord, I change not . . . return unto me, and I will return unto you.” Malachi 3:6
Now we ask, “But what should we do, and how should we return back to God if we are doing everything we are supposed to be doing?” That is the thing, we are not doing everything that we are supposed to be doing. We have been separated from the law of God and now it is time to learn what he wants us to know so that we are not cursed with a curse for being disobedient to the laws of God. If we do this God promises that he will pour us out a blessing that we will have not room enough to receive. He will keep the enemy from stealing our hard earned money and all nations will see that we are a blessed people. God will be glorified.
I encourage you to go back and read Malachi third chapter so that God can really open your eyes to this revelation. Don’t just take my word for it.
We have to stop working so hard, thinking it is ok just to hear lies from the doctor that try to convince us that we are sick, have cancer, and are going to die. Because we treat the doctor as an authority we condition his words in our heart as truth and we stay sick. God does not want this for us, nor does he want us to work so hard to not be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Why do we do this to ourselves? We work a job all our lives, retire, and then become sick. Next, our retirement savings goes into paying for medicine and a treatment plan that makes you sicker so that you can get more medicine. The truth however is that the chemically altered food that you have been eating, caused your body (which is a natural self healer) to reject it. This is the real cause of our sickness. We are trapped in a system that lies to the world, while the satanic system makers continue to enjoy our torment.
Let me be clear, the only thing that medicine does is hide the symptom, but it does not get down to the root cause. Hence the only thing that religious practice does is hide the symptoms. It is not real medicine, it is not truth, it is not the answer to healing. Jesus is the only answer to our healing. Let us get down to the root of the problem. Ladies and gentleman, the root cause of the problem is the system that we are living in, designed for us to work, stay “Just Over Broke,” make money for the elite, than die. It is a non ending cycle in a system designed to steal from you, kill you, and destroy you. But the Lord says by his stripes we are healed. I chose to believe God and his promises not the world’s. The world’s promises mean nothing to me. I serve the Lord.
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
The root of the problem is believing the lie that there is no God who has created you. Furthermore, the lie kills by saying that God did not send his son to save you from this system of death.
We must not fall in the trap of the world. Our lives are not about making money. Don’t be fooled by the trap of the enemy. Don’t let this be your stumbling block. Remember when I said that I thought money would be the answer to all my problems. Well, God changed my mind about that. You cannot serve God and money. It just won’t work.
Stop believing the lie that Jesus was just a prophet, that he was just a master teacher, that he was a yogi, or the offspring of a god and goddess pagan lie. Jesus is the word of God, the law, the spirit of God, and therefore God himself. Even if you do not entirely understand it now, know that this is the truth. There is no way out of this system but by the true Jesus Christ.
I don’t know about you but I want to feel fulfilled in life. I want to be happy and joyful. I don’t want to be burdened down by the things in life. I know you must be saying to yourself, I know all of this already. Well if you know it, are you applying it or are you trying to serve both masters? Are you feeding two wolves? Ask yourself why is it really not working out for you?
I chose the promise that God has for me through Christ Jesus. There is nothing to convince me otherwise that this is the truth. Henceforth, I will follow this truth. This truth has come from the only infallible authoritative word of God. This truth has been rooted in me since I was a child. I thank God that my parents had raised me with morals and the word of God for this is right. “Train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it.” I thank God for the truth and this is the right system. God’s system is his plan. We need to follow God’s plan with our whole hearts. So I ask you to examine the system that you are living in right now. Are you living your life for God or are you living in fear everyday?
The fear comes from a belief that you will not survive without putting yourself in a system that will make you money. Most believe that being able to obtain money means that you have the means to support yourself and your family. Most believe that being able to obtain money on a regular basis means a sense of stability. We become comfortable with this idea and live with the price we have to pay to feel secure.
Security is a fundamental need for us. The enemy knows this. He knows how God made us, he was there. We feel secure when we have money in the bank. However, the system that gives money power, is a system built on lies. It is a false system of security. The word says that the kingdom, the power, and the glory belong to God. So how is it that we are conditioned to believe that the system to which we work to obtain money is the power?
The system of the enemy stands on lies. It looks promising and prosperous on the outside but looks can be deceiving. The enemy is a deceiver and he makes false promises that he does not have authority to make. He uses our authority to carry out his plan. I will say it again that he is not creative. He tempts, sweet talks, and convinces our minds that we can be satisfied with the things of this world. He does the same thing to everyone. Is there a goal that you are trying to obtain and you just don’t seem to ever meet it? Every step closer that you take should satisfy but just leaves you wanting more. Is there a goal that you have ever achieved and it just did not seem worth all the trouble? Did you ever feel that you didn’t feel as satisfied as you thought you would when you met a personal goal of yours? Perhaps you are very successful and achieved all that you wanted to achieve in life but something just doesn’t feel right. Something always seems to be missing. This is because the enemy uses our drive and desires to keep us preoccupied on things that don’t really matter. He whispers in our ear and says, “I know what you really want, you want a big house, a car and that vacation home, that is what you really want then you will be happy.” So then he takes us on the journey on how to get these things, these useless things. He says “now you need to go to work, make money, because without money you can’t really do anything, so it is ok, God understands, this is the only way you can make money and provide for your family, so it’s acceptable, everyone is doing it.” So then he gets you in the mindset that it is ok, this is normal, this is what is supposed to happen. This is how we are smoothly hypnotized into doing the same thing day in and day out, with limited to no vision, and with limited to no freedom. We close our eyes and let the repetitive beat of life guide us to meaningless goals. Now when we meet those goals, it is so unsatisfying to our spirits that we repeat this flawed process hoping for better outcomes; more satisfying outcomes. We do this with the hope that one day it will all be worth it. But it never is, is it?
This is the lie that the enemy has tempted us with. The lie is that the flesh can be satisfied. The truth is, the flesh will never be satisfied. This is why without a connection to the spirit you will always be looking for more, searching for more and asking for more. Your thirst will never be quenched through the lust of the flesh.
Follow the dreams that God gave you. Not the brain washed dreams that the TV gives you. That conditioning comes from Satan. Peace be with you always.
Until next Time
