In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:
1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Jesus spoke these words after The Last Supper and He knew His crucifixion was eminent. The adversary uses fear to gain a foothold into our emotions and lead us astray thus we must protect our hearts from being troubled and know that FATHER has everything under control.
Why did Jesus warn us concerning a troubled heart? He prophesied in Luke 21:
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
The political, economic, and religious systems are on the precipice of coming under extreme distress due to men’s extreme self-interest. It is imperative that we as Sons and Daughters prepare our hearts and focus on hearing FATHER’S Voice in all that we encounter. A heart that cannot be troubled is a indication that we are fully mature and can function as a light unto those who are yet in darkness.
FATHER guided me through a training program focused on finance and economics. HE determined what jobs I was to take thus I cannot take credit for my professional experience. Economically speaking, the world’s economies are being held up by perception alone. Once the light shines on the Truth, the world system is expected to collapse and force a “reset” which will wipe out the financial resources of the vast majority of people who have place their trust in the world’s riches. Many of them will suffer heart failure as Jesus prophesied.
When will this happen? I have heard countless predictions by the world’s “experts” but I place no trust in their target dates. Instead, I simply focus on walking out each day according to what The Holy Spirit leads me to do. I purpose to be sensitive and not allow myself to be moved by all the predictions.
If we focus on FATHER’S Word and HIS Agape Love, we will weather any storm coming our way. HE did not promise to remove us from the coming storms but HE did promise to protect from the fallout which will surely come as a result of the turmoil and chaos ahead. Let not our hearts be troubled!
