In Matthew 6, Jesus spoke:
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good (single), your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is bad (evil), your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”
Before and after this warning Jesus spoke about treasures and riches. A “good” eye is singular in focus, simple rather than complex, and not double-minded. When you are able to see in this manner, your whole body will be full of light. I have been sharing the need to simplify and get rid of any weight that would hinder your walk. Further you should purpose to be led by the Holy Spirit and not let your left brain’s thinking, analyzing, assessing, rationalizing, and justifying keep you from fulfilling your purpose.
The word “bad” in the above verse means:
-
full of labours, annoyances, hardships
-
pressed and harassed by labours
-
bringing toils, annoyances, perils; of a time full of peril to Christian faith and steadfastness; causing pain and trouble
-
-
bad, of a bad nature or condition
-
in a physical sense: diseased or blind
-
in an ethical sense: evil wicked, bad
-
What do you see? Is it a path leading to producing fruit for the Kingdom or is it one with perpetual challenges and complexity? Do you see solutions materializing from Above or a future with no near term solutions at hand? There is a great division occurring and those whose priorities are aligned with FATHER’S are now being summoned toward a singularity with HIM.
What you can and do see determines what the rest of the body experiences. I see a solution for many but they are not truly interested in a solution unless it aligns with their current bias of thought. Their opinions have become ingrained to the point where they will not receive correction yet they walk around in lack of peace, health, finances, or fruit in other categories. They have placed their trust in the current system in an ever so subtle fashion. Many have lost their preeminent Love aka “first” Love. Some who have been miraculously healed in the past cannot see themselves healed by FATHER now.
I cannot emphasize enough that it is not business as usual. You are only one decision away from fully placing trust IN HIM yet many will continue down their slow path to death and destruction as though they are waiting on a burning bush to show up to urge them to change. What you deem as valuable today will be of no consequence on your death bed. In the Revelation of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 3:17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
We must no longer allow ourselves to be blind and deaf. Those with wealth as defined by the world tend to be unable to see and hear for their trust is in the current system’s solutions. We must all turn toward FATHER in these times for HE has the only solution to the tumultuous times ahead. We must no longer trust in the temporary riches the world is promoting. We must be able to see clearly and only FATHER can anoint our eyes allowing us to see clearly. Ask HIM to apply eye salve to your eyes so that you can see the futility before you.
You must see riches and treasures in a whole new perspective. The sole purpose of money is a means for achieving an end. Money itself is not an end result. Do you value the accumulation of money, stocks, land, etc. as the goal or do you value an inheritance in Heaven as the goal? FATHER once told me that money is a commodity and it has no value in itself and I should start viewing it in that manner since that is the way HE views it. Can you see what HE is saying? If not, maybe you should get an eye test.
