Boiling The Frog
In the United States we have for many years held to the idea that we willbe a nation where each individual is free. This is a good cause and a good belief. For it to exist in reality, it must be built upon Godly principles and following the ways of our Father Yahuah (Lord). And yet, instead we have become enslaved willingly. In fact, we are so enslaved and so entrenched in the chains that bind us that we will almost fight to stay there. To what am I referring?
Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 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.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I refer to the system of debt that has been built to hold us. It steals from us every day some of the very blessings added to us by our Father. How can we know that this is not good? The scriptures seem to indicate this well.
Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
If we are trapped in the system, then we are not building what our Father has said we will build. It will take the commitment of our hearts to the truth He has provided for us to escape. Once we are free, and while we are on the journey to that freedom, We must reach out to others to help them be free.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom reign. Send us Your overwhelming abundant provision today. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the thief that kills and destroys. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold all that has been taken or held back. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
