“In Exchange for your SOUL – 301” …Blog.
[3/?]
*** (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall
gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
***
(Proverbs 22:7) The rich
rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant [Slave] to the lender.
***
(Psalms 37:21) The wicked borrows, and Never pays again; but the righteous
shows mercy, and gives.
I have asked
two things from You; do Not deny them before I die;
(Pro 30:8) remove far from me vanity and a lying
word; give me neither poverty or riches; tear for me
my portion of bread,
(Pro 30:9) lest I be full and deceive, and say, Who is the LORD Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and violate the name of my
God.

Riches – 101”…Blog.
Do You call
the Blessed Name of Christ Jesus…? Are You His, Born Again Child…? Does His Holy
Spirit dwell within You…? IF: these things are SO… THEN: “Are You as “SLAVE”…
To “Financial DEBT”…? Please answer, “Yes or NO”…? There are those WHO say they
are Christians and then LIVE: Like the Unbelievers! Can You liquidate all that
You own and then Immediately PAY OFF… All the DEBT: you have Accrued…? IF Not…
then just perhaps You need to examine yourselves and… what You truly believe! Do
You have… “Credit Cards”… with Unpaid Balances…? Do You struggle to pay the…
“Minimum Balance”… each month…? You then as a Christian… are SHAMING:
Yourselves and Your Testimony: About the Christ Jesus… Whom You call: “Lord
& Savior”…! Say it isn’t “SO”…? A “PARODY”: Unknown to You, a visitor comes
to your Church and You are introduced to them. Then they say to You… “Why
should I believe in your JESUS… when each month, You are ‘late & behind’:
on your Credit Card Balance”…? [Psalms
37:21]
*** (Proverbs 28:19) He who tills his land shall have plenty
of bread, but he pursuing vanities [Debt] shall have Poverty
enough.
*** (Proverbs 6:9-10-11) How long will you sleep, O
sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
(Pro 6:10) A
little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down;
(Pro 6:11) so shall your Poverty come as one who travels, and your need like an armed man.
*** (Proverbs 13:18) Poverty and Shame shall
be to him who refuses instruction, but he who
listens to correction shall be honored.
*** (Galatians 6:7-8) Do not be deceived, God is not
mocked.
For Whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
(Gal 6:8) For
he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption
from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the
Spirit.
*** (Ecclesiastes 1:2) Vanity of vanities, says the preacher;
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
“How
Much is ‘Enough?’ – 101” …Blog.
…
DEBT is only
the result of “Unwise Spending”… based on
Vanity! The Debt of the USA is Over 16,000,000,000 Trillion Dollars. The
Cost for that Deb is… “1.4 Trillion”… each year, WITHOUT: “Re–Paying Anything
on the Principle!” IF You say that You are truly His child… why then do You
have: “DEBT”…? No, I am NOT speaking about DEBT: that Can be “Liquidated with
your Assets!” I am speaking about… “Unsecured DEBT”…! “Credit Card Debt” to be
“Specific!” There are ‘Four Reasons’ for “Unsecured DEBT”…! “Lust of the Flesh,
Lust of the Eyes, The Pride of Life & Vanity”…! People purchasing Things,
they do NOT need; with Monies they do Not Have; to Impress Others; who do NOT
care anyway…! Surely that is NOT how God intended His children to Live…! That
House, Vehicle, Vacation or Entertainment Toys… are Not for the Children of
GOD…! If You do not have the Funds, “Why Purchase DEBT”…?
*** (Luke 16:8) The master praised the
“Dishonest Manager” for being so clever. For worldly people are more
clever; than enlightened people in dealing with their own generation.
*** (Micah 6:8) He [God] has shown you; O man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love
mercy; and to walk humbly ‘with’ your God?
*** (Proverbs
19:1) Better is the poor who walks in his
integrity than he who is Perverse in his lips, and is a Fool.
*** (2Corinthains 13:5) examine yourselves;
whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Do you not know your own
selves; that Jesus Christ is in you [Romans 8:9]; unless you are
Reprobates?
*** (Luke 14:28-29-30) "Suppose one of you wants to build
a tower. He will first sit down and
estimate the cost to see
whether he has enough money to finish it, won't he?
(Luke 14:29)
Otherwise, if he lays a foundation and can't finish the building, everyone who watches will begin to ridicule him
(Luke 14:30) and say, 'This person started a
building but couldn't finish it.'
***
(Jeremiah 12:5) If you have run with footmen, and they wore you
out, then how can you compete
with horses? And if you
feel secure in the land of peace; then
how will you do in the
swelling [overflow] of the Jordan?
*** (Matthew 13:12) For whoever has, to him shall be given;
and he shall have more abundance. But
whoever does not have; from him shall be taken away;
even that which he has.

…
Do You pray before making Financial
Decisions…? Please
answer, “Yes or NO”…? And NO, I am Not speaking about that ‘coffee &
doughnut’. I am speaking about a… “Budget: based on Disposable Income”…! A
Business without a Business Plan: is a Sign of No Business! Many ‘spend &
spend’ outside of their Income: and then “Worry about the DEBT!” Does that
sound like a “True Child or God”…? Living in Debt… Cripples your ability: to
meet the needs of the Family! Living in Debt: Cripples your… “Holy Spirit Led –
Giving!” [1Corinthians 16:2 & Ephesians
4:28 & 1Thessalonians 5:8] I am privy to some Information about
Christian College grads who CANNOT & Will NOT: be accepted for “Missionary
Service”… because of their DEBT…! Imagine that, because of your DEBT… You are
unable to fulfill your ‘Calling’ as a missionary! You have chosen to serve “Manna”
with DEBT… than to serve the “Living God”…?
*** (Deuteronomy 28:12) The LORD Jehovah
shall open to you His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land
in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall loan to many nations, and you Shall NOT Borrow. [Hebrews 11:36-40]
*** (Proverbs 22:3) A prudent one foresees the evil and
hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. [Debt]
*** (Proverbs 27:12) A sensible one foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and
are punished. [Proverbs 26:12 & Proverbs 12:15]
*** (James 1:5-to-8) Now
if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone
generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
(Jas 1:6) But he must ask in faith, without any doubts, for the one
who has doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
(Jas 1:7) Such a person should “NOT” expect to receive anything from the Lord.
(Jas 1:8) He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he undertakes.

the ‘POOR’ – 101”…Blog. [1/2]
…
Suppose You find
yourself in… “DEBT”…? And ‘Unable’, to see your way out of the trouble “You
‘Yourself’ Caused…? Are You too Ashamed to ask for Help…? I once attended a
Church with an Outreach to the community. They fed 100+ homeless each weekend.
Sometimes families would come to the Church asking for FUNDS to make ‘house
& utility’ payments. The elder board set up a “Four Hour Counseling
Program.” Those, who “Refused Instruction”… were simply turned away. Over the
years, a few ‘singles & families’ recovered financially. Have You ever
heard the expression, “Those who would Help Others: MUST Require something of
Them!” Does God require something of US… as His Children? But of course!
Remember with each command of the LORD: comes with His “Protection!” “Wise
Decisions” based on His Holy Word… mean outcomes without Bondage: “Selling your
Soul!” Here are two references, one Christian & one Secular with some Godly
Financial information.

*** (Matthew
10:34-to-38) Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to bring
peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a Sword.
(Matt 10:35) For I [Jesus] have
come to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
(Matt 10:36) And a man's foes shall
be those of his own
household.
(Matt 10:37) He who loves father or mother more than Me [Jesus] is NOT
worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is NOT worthy of Me
[Jesus].
(Matt 10:38) And he who does not take up his
cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.

*** (2Peter 3:15-16) And think of the long-suffering of our
Lord as salvation as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according
to the wisdom given to him
(2Pet 3:16)
as also in all his letters, = speaking
in them of these things; = in which are some things hard to be understood, = which the Unlearned and
Unstable = Pervert, = as Also they do the rest of the = SCRIPTURES, = to their
own destruction [Damnation].
*** (Ecclesiastes 4:13) A poor and a wise child is
Better: than an old and foolish king, who will Not
be warned any more.
***
(Ecclesiastes 5:10) He who loves silver [wealth] shall NOT be satisfied
with silver, and he who loves abundance NOT with gain. This is also vanity.
Bottom LINE: Does You “Temporal ‘DEBT’: to Creditors”…
own You…? If You Did NOT: live within your income, then the answer is “NO”…! If
God cannot trust You; with temporal things, HOW is He supposed to TRUST YOU… with
True Riches…? The Knowledge, Understanding & Application with those “True
Riches”… found in His Holy Word…?
***
(Luke 16:11) So if You have NOT been
faithful with unrighteous riches, who will trust you with True Wealth? [Psalms 119:97-to-104 &
Psalms 19:7-to-14]
***
(Luke 16:12) And IF you
have NOT been faithful with what belongs to OTHERS,
who will give you what is
your own? [Proverbs 13:18:
Poverty & Shame]
***
(Proverbs 15:16) Better is Little: with
the fear of the LORD: than great treasure and trouble therewith.
