Love Always Leads To Life
by PJ
Yirmi'yah/Jeremiah 17:7-8 (AMP) 7[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. 8For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.
There's a lot of fear, worry, and anxiety in the world right now over the issue of money. But those who believe in, trust in and rely on the L-rd shall overcome in this situation because they are well-rooted in the prosperity of their souls. They know that all things work together for good to those who love G-d, to those who are the called according to His purpose as declared in Romans 8:28.
They know that the L-rd is their refuge and their fortress and that He will deliver them as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 91. They know not to be afraid of evil tidings for their heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 112.
They know they are to cast all their care upon Him, for He cares for them as is written in Kefa Aleph / 1 Peter 5:7. They will not fear even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea as written in T'hillim/Psalm 46:2.
They don't forget that through G-d they shall do valliantly, for He shall tread down their enemies as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 60:12. They don't forget that He will not allow their foot to be moved because He never sleeps nor slumbers as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 121:3.
They are like Mount Zion, unmovable as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 125:1 and 4. They are happy because they trust in the LORD as is written in Mashali/Proverbs 16:20. They know He is their shield because they put their trust in Him as is written in Mashali/Proverbs 30:5.
They know G-d is their Sustainer as is written in T'hillim/Psalm 3.
I was reading a news article the other day about a man who was despondent over losing his job. He murdered his wife and his children and then committed suicide. Later I heard people discussing that event and everyone was blaming the new President and Congress and bankers and, and, and. The TRUTH is that the man had no belief nor trust in nor reliance upon G-d. He had nothing to strengthen him and fear lead him to death.
Blaming others is not going to solve the world financial problems. Only when we get honest with ourselves and G-d can we get to the root of the financial problems because the world has filled with lawlessness, greed, envy, intrigue, seared over consciences. People have forgotten basic goodness, saving, helping others, and home economics. We've become a society of get rich quick, he who dies with the most toys wins, spending tomorrow today with credit and living in fantasy. And until we deal with the core roots of the problem, we shall never get the financial problems healed.
Is it possible to turn things around? It is if you have faith in G-d's Word. Ur/Luke 18:27 (AMP) says, 27But He said, What is impossible with men is possible with God Maybe it's time we go back to the basic element aka the Word of G-d.
When we make G-d's Word the final authority in our lives, we can be assured it's going to change things around us. Mashiakim Yehudim / Hebrews says By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. G-d's Word spoken by faith creates. Yeshua/Jesus said in Yochanan/John 8:31-32 If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Every good Jew has always known that words create or destroy. It's basic Jewish knowledge. The Brit Chadesh/New Covenant just takes it to a superior level by giving us a perfect blood atonement to back up what we say. That's why it is written in Revelation 12:11 (AMP), 11And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].
We live in a day where we need to seek G-d as never before to get His Word on the situation. T'hillim/Psalm 107:20-21 says He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! We need a Word from the Almighty to heal us from our destructions and it will come through thanksgiving, not fear, not despondency, not despair.
Mashali/Proverbs says Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. The power of words is elementary. Words are the basic building blocks of faith. What we say is what we create. What comes out of our mouth is what comes to pass in our lives. When we speak what G-d speaks we have victory. In Matit'yah ha-Levi/Matthew 4, Yeshua/Jesus said something to ha'satan that is truly amazing if we stop and meditate upon it. He said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
The Word of G-d creates life in all situations. This is verified in Yochanan/John 6:63, It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit; and they are life. Why is this important to know? Because G-d wants us to prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper.
I want you to know that my home, too, has sustained loss during the financial crisis. But we made a decision in our home at the onset to seek G-d's wisdom and only speak what He told us to speak about it. We put it in His hands and kept on going. You can do the same thing, no matter how big the loss. Your economic situation does not have to be based on global economics. It will be much more sound based on heavenly economics. If you've lost everything, it's time to take stock of what you do have and seek G-d, get His wisdom, and do what He says to do. He will lead you back to prosperity.
In my heart and in my faith, I am already victorious and praising G-d and shouting victory. Why? Because I know the Word of G-d. Today I am sharing the Word with you. The scripture declares in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of G-d.
Your destiny is up to you. You don't have to live full of anxiety, fear and worry. You can live full of peace, joy, love and faith. The choice is yours. You don't have to stay in loss. You can get right back up and take control of the situation by faith. This is not a time to lie down and accept defeat. It's a time to get up and conquer fear. Fear always leads to death. Love always leads to life. G-d is love.
