th apostles feet…
And every one that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19:29
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:29 -30
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 4:34-35
we all heard it preached by false preachers of th false gospel, that we must give money to build up th kingdom of God…its a lie bc th Kingdom of God is established by God alone and already exists…we inherit it, we dont build it…God has no need of th arm of flesh and does all by His own arm…is His arm too short?
years ago th Lord told me that those preachers who take up tithes and offerings have declared themself to be gods bc tithes and offerings were gave to th Lord fa His storehouse (where widows and orphans ate); and not only do they declare themself gods but they dont feed widows and orphans wit their take, but feed themself, building their own names and their own temples and houses…towers of babel making their names great in th land…even th self righteous love to give to th poor u know? bc they love th praise of men instead of th praise of God…Jesus Christ alone is th praise of God…
Christ alone is God…not any man…all religions have their offerings that they take to their false gods…and so by takin tithes and offerings, those who take em have declared themself to be gods … they consider it payment fa their time and posture about on stages and parade as ministers of light when they are really full of darkness and lies…they do nothing fa free but charge fa everythang they do…and yet expect everyone else to charge them nothin and give to them fa free …tax exempt–bc they are sons of th world and not strangers…while Christ and His are strangers and not sons of th world…
and th Lord told me something eslse too…
by selling all they had and bringing th money and putting it at th apostles feet they were surrendering their old life (sell all u have, give to th poor, and follow me)…and they gave it at th apostles feet…
th apostles feet– shod wit th gospel of th Lord–treading on snakes and scorpions…
Jesus said we tread on snakes and scorpions…thats whats under th apostles feet; th earth (us– th new earth) is th Lord’s footstool, & we tread on snakes and scorpions [th old unregenrate earth]…here is where th money was given…to snakes and scorpions…in fact they were giving to caesar what was caesars (his image on th coin)…altho maybe caesars dont know yet tht they is snake and scorpions…
and by giving to caesar what is caesar’s at th feet of th apostles…was th surrender of what they had, to gain what th Lord has…trading corruption fa incorruption, mortality fa immortality, th rule of satan fa th rule of Christ…
forsaking houses, lands, families…we do this everytime we no longer walk after th old ways of adam, of th old man, but follow Christ…everytime we deny our SELF…
it isnt their money that made it possible fa each man to have what was needed–aaron made that mistake too and told th children of israel that th calf he made from th melted wealth of egypt was what brought em outta egypt–he pointed to that shiny beast and called it God…
nope…it wasnt th money tht was their provision…and it wasnt th money that was enough…and we can even know that now bc we see even now, this many centuries later, money isnt ever enough…it satisfies nothing…ppl slave hard fa money and it barely sustains em…they never have enough–not bc more is better but bc none of it is sufficient, more or less its all th same…not sufficieint to provide…but we have all thangs in common, and so share together what is given to each one from th Lord…
provison is made by th Lord fa His ppl and each has what is needed, not too much and not too little…as we enter into His family, into His household, into th Kingdom of God, th Lord provides fa all of His…fa each one…and we have all thangs in common, and so none has much or little but all has what is needed…just like when th manna rained down from heaven…each took what they needed and had nothing left over and none had too little…th provision of God isnt money, dont have caesar’s image on it and dont rust or be eaten by moths…
we see those who had houses and lands selling em (all they had) …
what we dont see is th Lord prevailing on caesar to provide fa th poor…we dont see those who had houses and lands bein told to provide housing for th Lord’s ppl, yet we see th early NT church met in each other’s houses…we dont see th Lord tellin His ppl to turn to this or that one fa their food and housing…we dont see Him tellin us to BE th Lord’s provision…we do hear Him saying seek first th Kingdom of God and His righteousness (which is Christ) and all these thangs will be given to u…
this is important bc its a different thang between trustin th Lord to provide, or trustin that th Lord will provide thru adamic ways of provision–th second one is still walkin by sight, bc these thangs are familiar (we get our word family from familiar)…money, jobs, welfare, food pantries, all these central places of provision are NOT th same as th Lord providing…these central places boast in adam, flesh rises up to say look at what I did –with th Lord’s help…not only does it boast of adam, but insists that God has helped adam to rise up and be built up…but that is a lie…adam is dead in trespass and sins…th Lord’s provision to His ppl comes TO His ppl from Him alone…not by any of th world’s ways…th Kingdom of God is NOT of this world…we heard it…but in some ways, we still dont believe it…
th time is comin when those ways will be closed up…bc they were never of th Lord in th first place…caesar was never interested in serving th poor or helpin anyone…govs have their palaces and capitols and big builodings and lands and that is their true nature…building towers and temples to their own self, makin a name fa themself and not care about ppl at all; even when they declare their love of th ppl and wanna take care of th poor, they lie…bc they put that burden on th backs of th poor and dont lift a finger to help; they do what they do to create their own image and they do it like pharaoh do it…doubling quotas and taxing th backs of their slaves…
Christ has never said one time to any of His ppl that caesar will provide fa them…in fact we have always seen th true nature of caesars past and present…they are beastial and without th breath of God…
tho th caesars of th world like to preen about above all, they are merely snakes and scorpions, tread upon by th feet of those who belong to th Lord…th earth is th Lord’s footstool, but heaven is His throne…th new earth and th new heaven– th new creation born of th Spirit of God, conformed to th image of Christ His Son, is His …
if anyone ever been poor enough to need a food pantry or stamps or gov aid, if u ever got food in dented cans or near to or already expired, or had th gov boast in its many benefits while they dont give u enough to feed ur kids and u have to plead ur case everytime u turn around…if u ever been in that system that give u stamps and make u work, and then make u take off work everytime u need a new pair of eyeglasses or just to show up fa more paperwork, so that u lose th job they demanded u get bc u take off too much, and lost ur stamps or medical coverage or be called some form of parasite by th self righteous who wanna live comfortable while they condemn u…then u know th true of th welfare systems that th gov calls benefits but which benefit nobody…its a tower of babel, a temple of false gods who wanna have th reputation fa helpin th poor, but not so much th work…smoke and mrrors–its what th govs of adam are made of….they are caesars and nothin more…
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? why have you conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied to men, but to God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried your husband are at the door, and shall carry you out. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. Acts 5:1-10
there is nothin hid from th Lord…He see th govs of adam talkin up benefits and stealin at th same time by th very thang they give…He see em buildin they towers and temples and coercing th hungry to labor as slaves and beg fa food…He see it all…and it wont last bc He see it and bc He hear th cries of His own ppl…
when mose was in th wilderness with th children of israel, did God make mose head of anything? did He give mose a great piece of land and tell mose to house His ppl? did He give mose th fruit of th earth and tell him to feed His ppl? did He set up a walmart or some economy and tell th children of israel to do what th world do but do it in His name???? never once…th Lord didnt set up one person or group of ppl so that everyone else had to come to them fa what they need…and so that they could decide what was needed and who should get…never once…and never once did He establish th apostles to be th providers fa His ppl…nope…but each of th Lord’s ppl is provided by th Lord Himself…it was Christ who broke th bread and gve to th disciples…they didnt feed each other…
so why do we still think like adam, that th Lord will take what is NOT His and make it into something tht will feed His or house His or clothe His…that is how govs take Scripture and build adamic laws and systems…it was NEVER th Lord’s way to do that…Scripture testifies of Christ…they who are apart from Christ dont know Him and have no right to what is His…these are thiefs and robbers who enter into th sheep fold by some other way…they are not comin to help or to serve, but to steal kill and destroy and they will do it by frontin like they givin u somethin…they will say peace peace, but there is no peace…bc peace comes by Christ alone…not by th comfort of th flesh…
every part of us that hasnt forsaken lands houses and family, is still lookin fa th Lord’s provision to come by some way other than Christ…
th NT church, meeting in each others homes, gathered only by th Spirit of God and not by flyers, invitations and worldly, fleshly events that draw crowds; th NT church givin to caesar wht is caesar’s, and actually turnin from this present darkness and turnin to th Lord; th NT church was seen in th physical, a type and shadow of what is only real in Christ, who is come to His ppl…
we see Him, th world dont see Him…we hear Him, th world dont hear Him…we are to sell all, forsake, and give to th poor ONLY fa His name sake and fa th gospel…govs give fa they own reasons; they dont know Christ and they dont preach Christ and they dont honor Him with their giving…their benefits are for themself…
but those who are Christ’s know Him, see Him, hear Him and follow Him alone…we are free and not slaves of sin…we are new creations walkin in th newness of life even here and now…and we will see th Kingdom of God established and take over th whole earth, just like He promised…we will be in health as our soul prospers, and as we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, He alone will add those thangs which we have need of…bc He alone knows what we have need of…
if th giving and th selling and surrendering isnt fa th sake of th Christ and th gospel, then its self righteousness…bc th selling and th giving and th surrendering fa th sake of Christ is led by Christ alone, separates dead from living, kils flesh and dont build up adam…we are led by th Spirit of God into all truth, apart from Him are tombs full of dead men’s bones boastin in themselfs and have no life…
