More Thoughts: Business & Other Belief Systems

Loved Of The LORD, I need to pick up again and let me start with that premise that God is not a respecter of persons and if HE is, as far as you are concerned then no doubt you have not that measure of Faith that the rest of us have. (As a starting place.) (Rom. 12:3) Believers and Not! Tho at this time, let me not Judge you on whether you are or not! Go Back to June 21, to pick up from the begining.



Moving on!



What you have done with it is obvious by the mindset you have established and too adhered.



Not going back and rehashing those filters, every one makes a decision what they are going to do with it.



As a starting place somewhere in ones life, the invisible God has revealed Himself and is understood by the thing that are seen. Paul says, The Godhead and His Power are evident and clearly seen by the Righteous and Unrighteous, thus all left without excuse. (Rom.1:19-20) On the premise and for me the proof that the Word Of God is ‘Truth’ (John17:17) Spoken by The Word Himself, (John 1:1, 14)



In the Eleventh chapter of The Gospel According To John. Jesus was late … from the perspective of Lazarus’s two sisters Mary & Martha. (I will address GOD Never being late … In future Post.) When Jesus went to the graveyard He said, ‘Lazarus Come Forth!’ Now it Does Not say this in Scripture, Nevertheless, He being Who He Was/Is and saying only, “Come Forth” the Graveyard would have been vacated by all its residents!



Martha told Jesus that her brother had been dead four days and ‘Stinketh’. (Jews believe that the spirit hangs around for three days and 40 days are important to them too.)



Now having read the Bible through over 30 times, not counting Studies and Prep for messages, (There will be some that call this bragging. Nevertheless, this will establish that I have some understanding under my belt.) I hear the 40th verse over and over again all thru every book in one-way or another.



Gatten Paraphrase: My People ask Me to show them and they will believe. I tell them to Believe and they will see the Glory of GOD. BTW that was the reason that it looked like Jesus was Late.



Now if you do not believe my premise above, (i.e. everyone is given same measure of Faith, then you are not using what you were given, … poor steward. Mt. 25:26 & 26) then John 11:40 comes in play and you never will. WHY? Because you Do Not Believe. Do not be under any kind of Condemnation, should you have a problem in believing, (& I am not your Judge.) Rom. 8:1, Just ask for help. Mt. 7:7&8 and Mark 9:24.



Now the ground work is laid, let me move on to the two kinds in Business. … Done run out of time. Will pickup here next time. Do not lose your place! Be blessed, 1 aka DP
