THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE


You don’t have to be an economics or psychology expert to know times are tougher now on families than ever before. Domestic violence, child abuse, marriages are in trouble, and as always there are many wars. Alcoholism and drug addiction is on the rise. These are difficult days for you and I. But they don’t have to be that way. Read on and you’ll see, there is a truth about who you are that can, and will set you free and it won’t cost you anything but losing the very chains keeping you from being who God has made you to be.

Galatians 4:19
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you

While the liars and false profits of the land, with your money in their hands, tell you give more, do more, read their book, help park the cars, cut the grass, volunteer with daycare, and help people find their chairs. They are getting richer and richer, having affairs, and robbing you blind with the slightest care. People need to realize they shouldn’t be working, singing, dancing, directing, or working for free. The Pastor will tell them, we need volunteers, and that God will see this effort and make their conscience clear. But when it comes to your Pastors, their bankaccounts are full of your money and their tax exempt status keeps them in the green, while were broke with IRS fears.

But the times are changing, people’s beliefs are rearranging, they are no longer laying every nickel on the line. They are losing faith because when they need help, these big name pastors never have the time. They are getting fed up with every scandal that breaks, yet some still hang on, because they have been so brainwashed they still allow these lying, perverted, thieves to take and take and take. However, for those that leave because they are tired of being promised peace and finding none. The fancy twisting of scripture and all their empty promises and manipulation is no longer enough for them to continue to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

And for those who say, “my Religious leader” isn’t that way. Go to his face and tell him you no longer want to pay.

You see, if you only knew what God wanted from you. You’d stop your works, stop your worrying, and stop doing what religious wolves tell you to do. God doesn’t want you to go to man to find God’s truth. He begged Israel to do the same, but they refuse to go to that mountain, they said “Hey Moses” you go talk to God today and then come back and tell us what God did say. And that didn’t make God to happy at all. This is why they began to rely on a ridiculous man made law, which only made them fall all the more.

You see God wants to be your king, but you believe you need to go to “church” sit down, kneel, pray, tithe, and sing. So like foolish Israel you do the same, the Prophet comes to you and say Let God Be Your Only King but you say no, let a Man or Woman rule over us, and all our treasure to them we will bring. The Prophet gets sad, and thinks that’s too bad, but God reminds Samuel what they lost and what they will now have. This is the reason in religion you are all suffering and things are so bad. Your Preacher, you should call Saul, the King of your fall, the wolf will will rule and has ruled and ruined you all.

1 Samuel 8: 11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

(All you congregants you are the same. You give King Saul Religion your sons and daughters and their inheritance he will soon claim)

12And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

(Religion has produced preachers, Imans, Bishops, Priests, Pastors, Evangelist, Rabbi’s and more, and I don’t have to remind you of history how each of these religions kill in the name of their god and send all of our children to war)

13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

(Got to love those bake sales and yard sales, and preservice treats, the coffee stands, the bookstores, where all the women of faith work and meet.)

14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.

(The Religious Kings take, take, take, and those that kiss their ring make, make, make)

15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. 16And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 17He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

(Isn’t this what I was saying all along, how serving these liars and thieves is not where you belong. All they want it that TENTH of all you have, if you don’t give it to them, well they will call you evil and bad. Soon you’ll be wishing you didn’t ask for King Saul instead of just asking for DAD!)

18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

Revival they cry, what a joke. It’s like those other religious leaders pretending to get high and drunk on Holy ghost drink and smoke. There are so much madness and folly, I wonder why more aren’t saying, I’m outta here so sorry!

Revival, that’s the new word of the day. And the fat cats contiue with the same grand ear itching words they saw, playing the same old songs they place, but it’s all the same old side show, just presented in a different way. Whether it is gold dust appearing, oil, healing, or smoke from a fog machine the lying fat cats placed below. God is tired, you greedy profits soon you’ll find yourself fired, and then you congregants your Father God you will know!

My children perish from their lack of understanding, God says. Yet, these Revival liars put all their focus on the miraculous things they say they do, and NONE OF IT IS TRUE!

So this new “revival” thing is what these religous wolves have begun. And the word, you’ve heard, the one they use is absolutely absurd. REVIVAL? REVIVAL they cry. “Look at this young boy I healed his blind eyes”, or this old woman with a cane, watch her hobble around with a fake smile hiding her excrutiating pain, “She’s healed, she healed!” the liars scream. And the old woman in pain goes along because the wolf has her convinced she should go along and praise God for the miracle he’s done. Even though when these so-called “healed ones” are alone, they feel dirty for lying to make their pastor look good. They still have their cancer, some even die because their medicine they refuse thinking at that service God gave them an answer.

These so called congregants that the liars say they healed, like old hobbling women whose purse the wolves love to steal, should have grabbed her cane and stood. Saying, I am no longer playing, I want the truth and nothing more. Take your hocus pocus nonsence, and you can keep your people writhing and shaking on the floor, you’ve taught them to act the fool and they’ve become a bunch of tools, believing God wants them to laugh hysterically, shake and quake as if their baked. It’s all witchcraft and nothing more.

1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry

This you might find interesting, while the liars of the land are praying and shouting REVIVAL in the land, like many of the others lies they teach, eternal torture, trinity, rapture, tithing, and foreign speech. The word Revival isn’t even found in the bible. Not in one translation at all. So what in their “hell” are they praying for?

They can pray all they want, but if it isn’t in God’s will, all you’ll get from these wolves and liars are cheap thrills. They are bucket dippers, your bucket will never be filled. Empty clouds, twice dead, ravenous creatures, with nothing but dreams building “their” kingdom larger in their head. And they’ll do anything, say anything, promise anything, to get what they want. So let me post this is BOLD FACED FONT.

These Religious Leaders have one thing on their mind and money is their bottom line. That want to line their pockets and continue to live in the very lap of luxury your hard earned dollars have provided them with..

Revival what a joke? The word REVIVE means to MAKE ALIVE, and yet their words are the very words on which their congregants choke. You’re dead in your trespasses, this you should know, if you still to religious church you go. God needs you to flee, for Babylon is being ripped away from you and me.

There is coming a time when people will turn away from this. They won’t just get angry, they will be downright pissed. And why shouldn’t they be. They’ve been brainwashed since they were three. Fear was used to keep them in line, and when that didn’t work it was the seeds of greed the wolves planted inside so they’d keep in their seats their ignorant behinds.

These promises state if you give all they can give, YOU God will appreciate. If they can sow their seed, God will fill their every need. Yet God never wanted anyone’s money. Isn’t that funny. So, I pray people will say, forget your altar of baal, I have credit cards to pay.

Hosea 6:6
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings

Look I am not here to tear down but to build. And soon you’ll be filled. But like Paul, a storm will come and it won’t be fun, but this will show you what must be done. First you have to get rid off every lieyou’ve believed weighing you down. Then your vessel will make it into the kingdom and no one will drown. Because there is a greater truth coming to town. You may not hear it tomorrow, next week, next month, but I promise soon this truth will be found.

You will know life eternal, which is to know who you are, why you were sent and by whom. You will wake up and shake off those grave clothes like Lazarus when he was risen from the tomb. And people will be there to help if need be. My greatest desire is to see everyone put aside their belief in hell fire, and know that God is in control of you and me.

This is all anyone needs to know. It will come with a cost that is true, but I have a secret to tell you. You may feel like a slave, beat down, hurt, alone, and more I could say, but you are much more and this TRUTH I am sharing, when you grab hold of it, you will know what it means to be saved.

Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.

When you wake up and understand you don’t need these religious leaders, or be apart of their foolish miracle healing crusades, you will see, as I see, that you are God’s child. You were sold into this religious bondage but Adam you don’t need to cover yourself in fig leaves and hide, so from these religious traditions and liars you must come out from behind.

Hebrews 10: 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God

You have been told that the book was written about a man named Jesus, but I say that Jesus is YOU. God only had ONE SON this is true, and that is all of humanity, me and you. But the first state of man is ignorant of who they are, because we left a country of truth and entered a religious country that is far.

In the dust of lies, experiences, and brainwashing this first ignorant man, we’ll call him Adam, was formed. Working your way to God is what this first ignorant man and woman thought was the norm. But they forgot who they were, the image of God that’s for sure, but they began to believe that had to eat religious nonsence to be what they were already created to be. God’s son, but I like to say child, there is no male or female whether walking in Christ shows an inch or a mile.

But when Christ, the Truth of who you are, wakes up and returns from a country that’s far. The religious leaders will kill Him before, the wolves do not want the children to know who they truly are.

Killed by the RELIGIOUS, that’s right, that’s what it means to be crusified with Christ. We believed the lies of who were thought we were. Then we believed those who said our father was vengeful, hateful God. A god we needed to please by sacraficing our money and our time, but this is the Religious leaders crime, the murder of the CHRIST IN YOU and yet this all was but a sign. You think Jesus is the only one to cried, “Father why have you forsaken me” this day? You see, the Religious monsters took us away, manipulated us, lied to us, and held us in ignorant chains, drove nails into our hands (works) and feet (walk) and pressed a crown of thorns (cares of the world and church) into our head, this is why most religious people are dead.

For those who know, for those who show, the truth as a bright light shining on top a large hill. The days of ignorance and pain and suffering is gone, and now the mystery is revealed. They have died to who they thought they were, they have given up control, because now they know, that it pleased God to bruise us to eventually use us to free his children and throw the wolves under the bus. And so we have, or will, learn obediance by what we suffer, but it is only because we chose evil King Saul instead of our Father. But really that’s always been part of the plan, but I don’t think myself or anyone is ready for that to understand.

But if tou want freedom, if you want peace, if you want to know all is well. Then you must leave your religious denominations and leaders and escape the pits of their ignorant hell. The only way to do this, is to confess Christ as Lord. That means Christ is not far away, Christ is in you, and this is what walking in the valley of the shadow of death was for. To have the clouds open up and hear, “Behold my beloved son, in whom I’m well pleased” in whom I love and hold dear.

And if a SON, which is symbolic of EVERYONE REVIVED from the DEATH (IGNORANCE) of religion and the world, then a SAVIOR to others who will help them find the Kingdom, as one who finds a precious pearl. Yes you will suffer, you will lose friends, home, family, and money, and I know that’s not funny, but part of the plan. You must be stripped from everything you thought God’s promises were in. Then when you are naked, starved, beaten, hanging on your cross, you will say as Paul said, It was all dung and I consider nothing lost. You will say as Christ said, “Into your hands I commit my spirit.” And then you will be born again, ressurected in the world no longer a slave to sin. But now a creator who knows the power of his thoughts and words. No longer judging others, but doing unto them as you would want them to do unto you. No longer putting your faith in negative things, but things and thoughts that are good and true. You’ll take every though captive because you will learn it is it your thoughts that create, whether you can hear this or not, this news to you should be great! Everything was made by the SON, for the SON, and without the SON nothing was made that is made.

For those who have ears to hear. When you and the Father are one, that’s when life becomes fun. He gives you the desires of your heart, and you no longer allow your negative “satanic” thoughts to tear your heart and desires apart. You only do what your Father tells you to do, because you and your father are one. And if one, then no longer two, no longer lost, easily manipulated, or listeing to the ignorant fools who tell you what to do.

This is what the creation has been groaning for, and guess what people, that time is here and more. So run from your religious task masters and pray these words I have written on you have not been lost. Pray out loud,”FATHER TEACH ME THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!” then know the incredible potential that is within you and no longer fear. Because let me be a herald and let me be clear.

THE DAY OF THE LORD IS HERE!

ITCH MY EARS ALREADY!

Jacob Israel6 Comments


COME ON, ITCH MY EARS ALREADY!

This weekend I wrote this article but wasn’t sure if I was going to share it. But tonight I was feeling FRISKY!!!!!! So listen up people because this one may get ugly!

Okay so here’s the deal, no one likes bad news, right? Everyone wants to be told, hey everything is going to be okay, you don’t need to suffer, God doesn’t want you to be sick, God wants to be rich! “BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!” …

Okay, first, let me address, the whole “By his STRIPES we are healed line.” – Jesus learned obedience through the things HE SUFFERED! Okay, news flash people, the servant is NOT ABOVE THE MASTER, what is good for the King is good for his joint heirs! How can we be healed by another’s stripes, you ask? Well, when you are CRUSIFIED WITH HIM, His stripes are actually YOUR STRIPES. As we are all ONE in Christ Jesus, and if we are ONE, then HIS STRIPES ARE OURS and VICE VERSA!… Too much?… Okay, I’ll try and explain this one in another essay, but pay attention now because I’m about to write one of the most “UN – itchiest articles of all times”

Many people won’t like this one. But just because you don’t like, don’t make it any less true! Nah Nah na na Nah!

I have titled this essay, “ITCH MY EARS ALREADY!” I would love to tell you, my F.I.V. infected adopted stray cat Oreo gave me the idea when he came up to me this morning and jumped on my keyboard until I gave him the old scratchity scratch, but Oreo does not get this honor.

The idea for this paper came to me when driving to the store. I turned on the car radio, which is always programmed to the Christian Radio station because all other music is of the devil! And anyone who says different, is of the Devil too! … Kidding folks settle down in the peanut gallery. As it turns out, we have a pretty awesome Christian Radio station out here that plays amazing music in the morning because I gotta have me my Kirk Fraklin and Third Day! Not to mention RICHIE RIGHTEOUS, WHO IS THE BOMB DIGGITTY DOOO!… But did I get my southern gospel size helping of Christian tunes tonight? NO!

Like all Christian radio stations, time is purchased by preachers to further the “good news of the Gospel”, or at least whatever their “version” of it is… And we all know, how different VERSIONS there are… Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Non-denominational, Lutheran, Trinitarian, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah, there are more divisions in the Christian faith then in any other major religion. But they all have one thing in common, many of those who grace their doors all crave a good serving of that down home FEEL GOOD PREACHING!

For years, I had thought the “Itching ears” passage in Timothy, spoke of the “damnable heresies” we all know and love and share door to door, especially like the nice Jehovah’s Witness ladies who came a knocking yesterday asking me if I “knew the Truth”… “What is Truth?” I replied with a smirk on my face and then graciously took her flyer…
Well, I believed those “damnable heresies” to be false beliefs, false doctrines, vain traditions etc… But tonight, I understood for the first time, what this passage in Timothy really meant.

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

It sounds like a bad joke… So I turn on the radio and I hear this big name preacher screaming, “I am telling you God is doing something… If you have given up on your family, don’t! If you have lost your children, get ready to find them again! If you have suffered, if you have hurt, if you feel like you can’t TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!” — Insert big audience reaction, … “Then get ready, because GOD IS DOING SOMETHING! He is going to turn it all around for you, he is going to heal you, he is going to bring that loved one back, He is going to give you every little thing your heart desires!!!! Because GOD IS GOOOOODDDDDD!”

Then it hit me! I said to myself, “He’s telling them, exactly what they want to hear.” I mean sure, who wouldn’t want to hear everything is going to come up roses when all you smell is the manure of life piling around you! And I got sad, because I knew he was lying to them all.

WHAT JACOB? … Yeah, I know, we all want to believe that God is going to make everything all right, and YES, I promise one day, we will come to stature of the perfect man and the knowledge of the truth. And that day, we won’t care what we have endured, we will have learned to endure it joyfully, because we will have understood that it works patience, and that our present suffering will be as nothing compared to the glory revealed in us later…

But right now, itching people’s ears is not setting anyone free. Promises of hope mean nothing to those who continue on in their illness, thinking, “If only I had more faith.” Empty words mean nothing, to those who continue giving more than they can afford to only find their home foreclosed on.

This man’s words were empty. Thousands of people were in that audience, and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that for thousands of people, things were not going to miraculously turn around over night. The reason, is because our lives, our troubles, our circumstances are more lessons for us than they are plagues that God does not want us to endure. What we suffer actually brings us closer to God than never having to struggle to begin with. And when we negate the importance of our struggle and our suffering, and say, God does not want thus in our life, weu miss the most important thing God is trying to teach us.

Hebrews 5:8
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

There is no greater teacher than the pain of a mistake. If you have ever done anything foolish, and God knows I have… Like that time I tried to impress the kids in my neighborhood by sticking my tongue to the frozen flagpole and ended up stuck there until the fire department came. I became the laughing stock of the town. Thank God, My wife finally forgave me for doing that last year…

My point being, when we do something foolish that causes us pain, we think… DUH! I’LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!

For someone to say, that God doesn’t want us to go through what we are going through, does a hell of a lot more harm than good.

Here’s the reason, you’re in the situation to begin with. So what are you chopped liver? What is God like, “Well I don’t want Jacob to be stuck to that flagpole but he just needs to have more faith?” No, to say that God does not want this or that in our life is to say God is not in control. And believe me, the CONTROL is all about our REAPING WHAT WE SOW… But, we’ll get to that.

And then you have those miracle healers, you watch them on TV and its like a miracle a minute, people cured from cancer, jaundice, back problems, but never gullibility (I wonder why that is?) Listen diseases go into remission, I have Crohns, asthma, and terrible gas (insert smiley face) — Now if God is all about healing the FLESH (which he wants to perish) how come amputees don’t have their arms or legs miraculously grow back. Can God not handle this feet? Of course he can. But the point is, what we suffer is what is healing us to begin with. And once we learn this, it makes our disabilities easier to handle.

Now am I saying, God doesn’t heal? Of course not, but its not, “BE WHOLE IN THE NAME OF JEEEESSSSSUSSSS!” and then you fall over to the floor and some over weight men in three piece suits, two sizes to small, pick you up, stick a microphone in front of you, and you say… “I’m healed!”

Now, birth is a process, so is healing. Cut yourself and see how long it takes. It heals, sure, but not in one instant. And whatever is bound in the earth is bound in heaven… Whatever is without is within. If you want TRUE HEALING, If you want a way out of your suffering, find the cause, the way any good doctor does. There is a reason, Jesus is called the good physician. A Physician finds the source of a problem and gives you your medicine! SO WE HAVE TO LEARN TO TAKE OUR MEDICINE and not go to these knucklehead multimillionaires to gets our ears itched.

If you heal the inside first, the outside will follow. These are words to live by.

I mean really what do you think Jesus, who is TRUTH, was going around and healing? The Blind, the Deaf, The Lame, The Leprous, the Demonic and The Meatheads.

Scripture is an allegory “Church”, I am not going to argue over whether or not, he literally healed anyone, as it doesn’t matter at all if he literally healed anyone, as God looks to the INWARD MAN, not the OUTWARD MAN. The Outward man Perishes, the Inward Man is renewed!
I had a conversation with a dear friend who told me, “God doesn’t want people to shrivel up and die.” I replied, “Name one that doesn’t.” It is determined, that this flesh body, this temporary Buick we are driving around in perishes. WE DO NOT! But, we learn a great deal through this wondrous pilgrimage that has been set before us. We learn through the things we suffer, so why not learn to enjoy the ride and learn from the signs along the way.

Many religious leaders today are promising all sorts of awesome things instead of telling us that we reap what we sow, that we must endure until the end, that “through great tribulation we enter the kingdom”, that “he who does not pick up his cross” is none of His!

No, the preachers talk about healing your club foot, finances, relationships, health, family, and when that’s not enough, they throw in the future bliss of eternal buffets in heaven, std free relations (notice I didn’t use the “s” word). And, of course, my favorite, being poofed away to the clouds while God torments those evil chooches who got that dreaded chip implanted in their hands so they can buy food at the grocery story, HOW DARE THEY!… (I think I should add a good old fashion LOL for that last one.) I mean the truth is so much easier to believe than the lies this world will feed you.

Is there not a greater comfort knowing you are suffering for a great purpose, than believing God doesn’t want that for your life? Would you rather believe God has somehow overlooked this minor detail called Crohn’s disease and abuse, (which I suffered from both)

When people told me, God wanted me to be free from Crohn’s, I thought, “Than He must not be a very powerful God, because I’m in intensive care right now enjoying my third blood transfusion”.

Now I want to add, that I have been symptom free for three years now. What has changed? Has God healed me? Sure, why not? And if I get sick again, did God give it back to me? Sure, why not. The Lord giveth and the lord taketh away… BUT ONLY BECAUSE I NEEDETH IT… and because in the end, like Job, I am DOUBLEY BLESSED and I’m not talking double your pleasure, double mint gum blessed, I’m talking, unity of the spirit…. But if I am meant to suffer a terrible death to further my journey to the Kingdom, what choice do I have but to accept, if the Lord gives there is good reason, if the Lord takes away there is good reason. Whether I live or die, I do ALL UNTO THE LORD.

You know usually, I like to break down the scripture and show the allegory of it. But these scratching scratchersons are doing the world and their so-called flock a terrible disservice. And I will tell you why. There is a way out of suffering and our pain. And that is by LEARNING OUR LESSON.

Paul learned the hard way. I learn the hard way. I hope you all aren’t like me. Listen, because, I’m about to give you the keys to the Kingdom here!

WHAT JACOB? HOW DARE YOU? ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE THOSE KEYS OUT? – He gave the keys to us, and now I am going to give ONE MASTER KEY to you all!

I HOPE YOU STAYED WITH ME, because IT IS WORTH IT!

You cannot BELIEVE your way out of your situation, you must change what it is that got you into your situation. In other words, You are reaping what you have sown! I KNOW, I KNOW, there are people suffering with terrible diseases right now, who were probably sweet as pie in this life. And my carnal nature wishes it weren’t so. But my higher nature, understands there are greater things at work here, that many of us aren’t ready to accept. But we never truly know what has gone on, do we? We don’t truly know, why one is blessed and one seems cursed. If God does not respect one over another, then why are some born with privilege and others without. Well, I’m afraid, I’m not ready to share that one with you. But I am ready to share, what Jesus shared. And it was ALL OVER HIS MINISTRY!

I learned this lesson, when I tried to get a free lawnmower bag from the Home depot because a year earlier my lawnmower didn’t come with one. I didn’t believe they would honor my purchase, so when I told them I bought it and it didn’t have the bag, well, I just left out the little detail about it being a year old… I didn’t lie to the guy, but I wasn’t completely honest and I could have been… The instant I left, the thought came to my head, clear as day “The lawnmower is going to break” … One week later, I had to spend two hundred dollars as the mower broke down, and I returned that bag… But learned the lesson of reaping and sowing. A MASTER KEY.

I want you to think now about everything Jesus taught.
1) Forgive your enemy
2) Love those that hurt you
3) Pray for those that persecute you
4) Give to those that steal from you
5) Live by the sword die by the sword
6) Reap what you sow
7) Give and it shall be given
8) Forgive and it shall be forgive
9) Show mercy and mercy will be shown
10) Love and be loved

Look the list goes on and on. Now, think about it. Why would Jesus say, you reap what you sow and then say, forgive you enemy… Well, if you reap what you sow, your enemy you brought on yourself and if you don’t forgive this enemy and you return violence for violence, it is like your throwing the karmic ball back into play.

Yes, that’s right I used the word “Karmic”, what you got no love for the Buddha? Everyone loves a half naked guy who smiles with a big fat belly! … Or is that just me? (snicker, snicker)

Jesus was teaching us the way into the Kingdom, and the ONLY WAY IN, is to DO UNTO THOSE AS YOU WANT DONE UNTO YOU!

Think about that verse. “Do unto others, AS YOU WANT DONE UNTO YOU” – he understood, that our thoughts, our words, our actions, are causal and there will be a rebound effect. So, he implored everyone, to take their lumps joyfully as their reward for doing so would be great. The reason, is IF THEY DIDN’T, they don’t break the CURSE!

Jesus was simply was teaching that whatever comes around, goes around. This is a great lesson, if you can bear it. There is a purpose for your suffering. You are not going through hard times for no reason at all. And you will not be going through these hard times for ever. Once you learn whatever it is you are meant to learn from these hardships you will see these burdens fall away.

When our actions get us into trouble, there are consequences. The appropriate course of action is to admit your fault, not blame some outside entity and continue on in your sin.

Now Jesus wasn’t saying stay in an abusive relationship, continue to stay where someone is hurting you, quite the opposite, on the cross he forgave everyone, rose above them and never hung with them again! Hung was a poor choice of words I admit. But thank God he did for us all! The Pattern Son. And now we must Hang on our CROSS! Not go to some millionaire preacher to tell us that God doesn’t want us to hang on it.

So yes things may stink for the moment, but take a moment to ask God what you are meant to learn from them. See where you can love. See where you can forgive. See where you can step out in faith. We all have hard times, we all suffer, and we all will overcome, but there is only ONE WAY TO DO THIS!

It is through the straight and narrow gate of Love!

So the next person that tries to scratch your ears for you, you can tell them to scratch something else… your nose.. because… well, because, it’s, it’s itchy of course.

Try LOVE on for size and watch your true healing begin.

Peace out!
Jacob
