How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of Truth cannot enter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus gave us a stern warning about focusing on money for it will stifle your progress toward walking in the Mind of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">24 \u201cHow could you worship two gods at the same time? You will have to hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. <strong>You can\u2019t worship the True God while enslaved to the god of money!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focusing on money can easily enslave us.&nbsp; Money is meant to be a tool, not a quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">25 \u201c<strong>This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life<\/strong>, <strong>for all that you need will be provided,<\/strong> such as food, water, clothing\u2014everything your body needs. Isn\u2019t there more to your life than a meal? Isn\u2019t your body more than clothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">26 \u201cConsider the birds\u2014do you think they worry about their existence? They don\u2019t plant or reap or store up food, yet <strong><u>your Heavenly Father provides<\/u><\/strong> them each with food. <strong>Aren\u2019t you much more valuable to your Father than they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no animal more important to Our Heavenly Father than any of us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">27 So, <strong><u>which one of you by worrying could add anything to your life?<\/u><\/strong> [28] \u201cAnd why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don\u2019t work or toil,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">29 and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty like one of these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">30 So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won\u2019t he provide for you the clothes you need\u2014<strong><u>you of little faith<\/u><\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">31 \u201cSo then, <strong>forsake your worries!<\/strong> Why would you say, \u2018What will we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What will we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What will we wear?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">32 For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn\u2019t Your Heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">33 \u201cSo above all, <strong><u>constantly seek God\u2019s Kingdom and His righteousness<\/u><\/strong>, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">34 <strong>Refuse to worry<\/strong> about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Faith in action offends faith as a concept<\/em>.&nbsp; Faith operating in the moment offends faith that is waiting for something to happen someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are to cast down any un-redemptive thought as a demand, not a request.&nbsp; If you have a vile thought that declared your economic wellbeing has no solution where you have tried everything., cast down that vile imagination to the Feet of Jesus Who is Himself Jehovah-Jireh (THE LORD will provide)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are to cast down anything that prevents us from seeing, thinking, and feeling with The Mind of Christ.&nbsp; There is no fear or unbelief in those who walk and reflect The Mind of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will not convince the culture we live in through debate.&nbsp; Faith in action will produce the results that will change their minds.&nbsp; In some cases, it will be prayer that it is needed.&nbsp; The culture sees no true solution to the chaos they are experiencing because they have unwittingly locked themselves into a covenant agreement with the powers of darkness.&nbsp; By prayer, we pull down such strongholds of thought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revelation-light reveals strongholds of the enemy for all to see.&nbsp; When we walk in active faith, chaos will have no place to hide.&nbsp; As Jesus told us in Mark 11:22, \u201cHave faith in GOD\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active faith offends inactive faith!
