Its about cycles
Its about his works not your works
“For my people have committed TWO EVILS; they have forsaken me the FOUNTAIN of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13
Cursed is the person who put their trust in man, Jeremiah 17:5
Put not your trust princes, nor the son of man, in whom there is no help (salvation) (Psalms 146:3)
Many people are putting their faith in a political system, whether it be the stock market, government agencies, the medical industry, the job market, a senator, governor, banker, or lawyer.
Think System
“He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs if a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” Psalms 147:10-11 (KJV)
“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and HEIRS of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him.” JAMES 2:5 (KJV)
Think of the kingdom as the system of God. All that he owns! It include the gold, silver, angels, healing, deliverance, blessing, anointing- everything! And he has chosen to give it to those who love him just like he did in Genesis 2:1-3.
Seed time Harvest
God planted two trees in the beginning in Genesis 2. In Revelation 22, we see both trees. The Lamb of God which represents Adam’s original sacrifice, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and tree of life which is in full harvest mode.
It’s cyclical
Its generational. It functions in cycles. God started the process in beginning when he finished the cteated order. He set aside the seventh day of creation as a blessed rest. He invited Adam and his generations into that blessed day, to enjoy the works of his hands.
Satan stole the blessings. God restored the blessings.
He left us a guild to the blessing in scripture.
God set a testimony
“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the genetation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: THAT THE GENERATION TO COME might know them, even the children which should be born; WHO SHOULD BE BORN; WHO SHOULD ARISE AND DECLARE THEM TO THEIR CHILDREN: that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commands.” Psalms 78:1-7 (KJV)
How did God set a testimony? He provided for three million people in the barren desert. He fed them with manna, gave them water out of a rock, gave them gold and silver, gave them an inheritance, and defeated their enemies. God provided as he did in the beginning. His methods are the same. He created the system, the created order.
Adam’s generations are summed up in Genesis 5, judged in Genesis 6, and destroyed in Genesis 7.
Why did Jesus call the generation of his day faithless and perverted?
“Lord, have mercy onmy son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hithet to me.” Matthew 17:15-17
Faithless means no faith. But perverse, means “distort, misinterpret, corrupt, to turn away.”
Jesus expected more from them. Why? God set a testimony in them when he delivered their fathers out of Egypt. God demonstrated his power through mighty miracles. But when they were faced with challenges, they wanted to go back to Egypt. They saw themselves as grasshopper and their enemies as gaints.
The generation that came out of Eygpt was called a wicked and stubborn generation. God swore in his wrath that they would not go into his blessed rest.
The battle of today is over resources!
The battle that we fight every day is over resources. Who has the most money! If we can’t get it, we steal it.
God doesnt see things the way we see them. His wsy are higher than our ways and hiy thoughts than oir thoughts.
The Laodiceans Church of Revelation 3, described themselves as rich, increased with good and need of nothing. But Jesus described as lukewarm. He said,
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, abd miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”
The real issue as far as God is concern is not how money you have but how rich is your faith in him. This is the same issue the foolish rich man dealt with when God called him to give an account of himself. JESUS said, so is he as the rich man who is not rich in God.
Jesus counseled Laodiceans to buy gold tried in the fire from him so that they might be rich. The currency of heaven is faith in God. God’s plan is not poverty. It is the blessed rest that tells us to labor to enter in.
