The old cliché 'the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence,' could only have originated from the mind of an individual, already in possession of more than enough, and certainly not from one who has always lived with nothing.
Because of the privilege of a divine connection with Third World Nations, it became crystal clear by way of first hand testimony that said nations have long been under deliberate demonic oppression for centuries, with nothing but God - while in the luxury and spoils of First World Nations, with everything but God, fair to say, the less we have, the more we seek God; the more we have, the less we seek God ... when both are in need of Him for salvation.
In my humble opinion, such an award winning photo, immediately below, taken by Pastor Gilbert from Zambia, Africa, should find its way into a treasured history book, as in a before and after, the New World, New Season sweeps across the globe, after its escape by the skin of its teeth, thanks to the mercy and grace of the living God, out from under the darkest demonic attack against mankind, orchestrated by the devil's own Cabal & PlanDemic.
There is great leadership peering through the eyes of these two young boys. They just don't see it yet, nor do we! And I bet they could teach us a few things about the very land their bare feet have travelled, as well as a heartache or two their little minds might battle to forget.
But standing with them, as humanly possible, against all odds, as with other countless leaders across Africa and other TWNations, Pastor Gilbert and his team of trained and untrained assistants, strive to do their best for young and old, healthy and maimed, mentally and physically challenged, widows and orphans.
For lack of funds, most often the case, medical aid, education or facilities and tools needed, or the privilege of potable water, dignified living arrangements, or means of travel apart from by foot, used or donated bicycles or scooters, is simply and faithfully left up to God to provide, and so He does, short of our timing, perfect in His.
Same blood with different skin, have big dreams and big hearts, as do all beautiful people, who are made in the image of God whether we choose to believe in Him or not. If we cannot discredit something, in this case, the inerrant and infallible living word of the Holy Bible, and the living God who provided us a literal roadmap as to our coming and going, trusting in His understanding and His path for us (Proverbs 3:5-6), and not our own, why is it we choose to oppose it so willingly, the truth that sets us free?
The devil and his deception! The bible teaches that there is a constant battle taking place within us that we come to know more closely once we are 'born-again,' saved by faith alone in Christ, and that battle is good vs evil (Galatians 5:16-17); the PlanDemic and its founding body known as the Cabal, holding the world hostage for the first time in a fast demoralizing civilized world, is evident proof of evil up close and personal.
The devil truly comes to steal, kill, and destroy; impoverish, belittle, demoralize, demonize, cause division, selfish ambition, pride, perversion of pedophilia and transgenderism, satanism, communism, marxism, socialism, and anything and everything but the truth in Jesus Christ Living God. Why? Because Jesus defeated death, stealing the authority and power of death away from the devil, and the only way the devil can get that authority back is to steal the hearts, minds, and souls, of we the people.
Third World Nation status, is nothing to do with God, but rather the absence of God in the people who use their free-choice, free-will, and choose evil over good; easier to quit than win, is it not; easier to follow the crowed, is it not; easier to do nothing than something, is it not?
Noting my degree (M.R.S.), being in Religious Studies, not biblical studies, is shared only for the purpose of defending ahead of time, what I know will be a demonic attack challenging biblical teaching, suggesting that it holds no more weight than available from many other means, which is provably incorrect; no disrespect intended, merely setting the record straight. It can't be done, for 'Man Gives us Religion - God Gives us Truth,' and you can see for yourself how easy it really is identify Human Accomplishment from Divine Accomplishment, in said book with same title.
Taking the Quran of the Muslim faith for example (Read my post - Fallibility of the Quran), again, not judging or being disrespectful, this book of 6237 verses, 114 chapters, averages 3-5 topics per-chapter, and erroneously, it is delivered in a point-form format, as we would expect of a university student while taking or adding notes. In the post referred to above, yours truly shares undeniable, side-by-side evidence as to why said text is delivered in point form, and how Muhammad, its author, has taken scripture from the book of Genesis and placed it throughout his Quran; Genesis is our beginning, our founding, and meant to be as one teaching, and not scattered into bits and pieces, as we also find in all religious text attempts to be God, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, etc., etc.
So, when a reference is made in the Holy Bible, it presents to the people complete topics and teachings, and not merely books of notes and quotes, attempting to be, sound like, or appear as 'god,' when evidence to support their claims is simply unavailable, no different than the book of Mormon, with zero archaeological evidence to support book, text, or people.
Sadly, because of the lack of knowledge by billions, vision is lost to the likes of mysticism and/or spirituality crutches, including far too many seminaries within the Christian faith who should know better, but have long been deceived by the devil, who can never be underestimated. The end result, considering the secular, garbage in garbage out expression, it leaves a world, dead in faith, rather than alive in faith, meaning more and more needs left unfilled.
As long as we continue playing 'god,' denying the living God, and not giving credit where credit is due, lies will continue to be lived, while needs will continue to grow as the devil fulfills his intentions and objectives; does he care about Elephantiasis, when he lives to steal hopes, kill dreams, and destroy life, family, and faith?
The other side to this story, often seen as God being the bad-guy, is that He gives people over to their own selfish desires, as He has done to men lusting after men, and women lusting after other women, and not as divinely intended, one man, one woman, and yet they rebel.
This is God's Anger at Sin/Disobedience (Romans 1:18-32) - not me judging, for no man has a right to judge another.
18But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
How unusual is it for one with very little to be thanking the very ONE who cannot be seen? Psalm 100 is renowned as the Psalm of thanksgiving; to whom or what do you give thanks, or do you?
1Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth! 2Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. 3Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. 5For the LORD is good.
His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
I don't know about you, however, this woman to the right, amidst her evident trial in life, doesn't appear to be anything but grateful to be alive; even though, if the truth were known, she is the result of medical negligence by deliberate action taken, by the very same demonic root behind today's PlanDemic.
Don Moen, a Christian man and composer of beautiful worship music, is renowned for his song, Give Thanks
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
Repeat
The Apostle Paul explains to us in Philippians 4:11-13 how best to understand that we are not thanking God for being poor and impoverished, or rich with everything, but rather, for life itself, with plenty or with little, an empty stomach or full, and for the hope of salvation beyond what this life offers.
11I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
In referring back to the second paragraph, knowing the less we have, the more we seek God, and the more we have, the less we seek God, which is the better choice?
We both need God for salvation, unless this life is the only one you are interested in. There is only ONE way to heaven, contrary to popular belief, not up for debate, that has brought us to this defining crossroad of thought and predicament in a world still under demonic siege.
Jesus Christ Living God gives all who believe, eternal salvation, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.
HE is not the one who is stealing, killing, and destroying life as we know it, next door, one mile away, or all the way on the other side of the planet!
HE is not the one who is choosing to live according to our own selfish desires!
HE is not the one planning PlanDemics to destroy you!
HE is not the one who has impoverished TWNations, nor the one guilty of doing nothing about it - WE THE PEOPLE ARE!
HE IS HOWEVER, the ONE who says "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying (John 11:25),"
PLUS, "I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11),"
PLUS, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10b)."
PLUS, "I alone am God. There is no other God— there never has been, and there never will be (Isaiah 43:10)."
And as for me, the author of this post, rich or poor, plenty or with little, I agree with Joshua "But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD (Joshua 24:15)," ... for it is the only way possible for global equality and equity to be achieved for the benefit of all people - same blood, different skin, big dreams, big hearts, beautiful people.
PS:
Invest in yourself! Invest in truth!
Consider the purchase of one or all four Holy Spirit led authored books HERE or HERE addressing 'How & why we must connect with Jesus' * 'Man gives us religion - God gives us truth' * 'Lesson to live by' (powerful on grace & gratitude) * and 'Super hero's for Jesus' as a grass roots learning tool - awesome for children as well as new Christians.
I thank you ... and I thank you, Jesus, amen and amen!
