We are living in an interesting time where many on Earth have put more faith and trust into the work of their hand or technology, than they do in Christ our Lord. I am not condemning any of you, nor am I speaking of anyone specifically. For I myself, have been found guilty. I leave this warning out of love, that each and everyone of you will trust and have faith in the one who created all things by his utterance of a few sentences.

The greatest trick Satan ever pulled was convincing us that God is a liar. That we won't die. That we can be like him. That we know better than him. (Genesis 3)

[8] “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” ⌞declares⌟ Yahweh. [9] “For as the heavens are ⌞higher⌟ than the earth, so my ways are ⌞higher⌟ than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9 [LEB])

This has been a hard concept for me to grasp, but I am finally coming around to this realization.

What is faith? What does it mean to have faith in God?

Very simply, living as though God has told us the truth. It isn't something you feel, although feeling and thought goes into it. Having faith in God is living according to what he has told us. We can develop a strong, mountain moving faith, by simply reading his word. All of the books are important, because they tell stories about God's integrity and how the faith of those in the old saved them. How miraculous, things that were accomplished when faith was put in God. The story of Daniel, Moses, Noah, Samson, Joseph, there are many more. Prophesy reassures that things won't always be this way. It also shows that our God is just and will judge. We can go to church or watch videos, but I'm telling you from my personal experience, until you read it all yourself, until you read the very words of God, it is not the same understanding.

Don't be so worried about material wealth

Read the book of Ecclesiastes. Read the gospels, Matthew or John are good ones to start with. True riches are not on earth, but in heaven. All wealth here is vanity. I am a 21 year old without a cellphone, car, or permanent residence. I carry a backpack with a Bible and I can personally testify being happier and more alive than I ever was before. I came from a lot of money but I was never satisfied. I always wanted more and more. It's a thirst, brothers and sisters, that can never be quenched. If you aren't happy with what you have, you will never have enough.

[25] “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body more than clothing? [26] Consider the birds of the sky, that they do not sow or reap or gather produce into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? [27] And who among you, by being anxious, is able to add one hour to his life span? [28] And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, [29] but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these. [30] But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do so much more for you, you of little faith? [31] Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?,’ [32] for the pagans seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [33] But seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. [34] Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. ⌞Each day has enough trouble of its own.⌟ (Matthew 6:25-34 [LEB])

I am telling you from personal experience, he will ALWAYS take care of you if you trust him. I eat better now than I did when I had money. It always works out. He has yet to neglect any of my needs. I always have a safe place to sleep and to shower. You wouldn't know that I don't live anywhere if you ever seen me.

Forgiveness

How can we expect to be forgiven for everything we do if we don't forgive everyone. Without partiality, you must forgive EVERYONE. Even your worst enemies. It's hard, but we're called to do it.

Love

This is the greatest commandment, to love your neighbor as yourself. This is the fulfillment of all commandments. Love can do no wrong to a neighbor. Love and pray for your enemies. Everything you do, do it out of love.

Coronavirus?

Trust him to do what is best for you and your family. Have faith. Do not be afraid of the times ahead. They are something to rejoice over; the day of our Lord and Savior is near. Our inheritance is close.

Judging

Something I have greatly (and still occasionally struggle with) struggled with is passing judgement. Subconsciously, it can be hard not to sometimes. Resist the urge and remember that Christ died on the cross for ALL sinners. That God created everyone and he does not show partiality.

Final Words

Today will be my last time on the internet. It is not good for me to rely on something that will be destroyed. Look up 14 eyes or FVEYE if you want to know how it works. ARPANET and DARPA are good research topics too. Above all, pay close attention to scripture in Daniel and Revelation. It is not for you to interpret any of it. If you read the word and trust The Holy Spirit, he will reveal the meanings. That is how prophesy works. It isn't by your power or understanding, it is the spirit inside you revealing things. Pay attention to the season, brothers and sisters. Those with ears should hear.

May The Lord bless all of you and keep you close. Peace, mercy, and love I pray for you all today, and moving forward in all of your lives.

With Love,
- Z (Daniel)​
