Be not of this world!!!
Love Not the World!!!
1st John 2:15 – Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the Love of the Father is not in him. This world is Not Loved by the HOLY Father because it is filled with Sin (Lawlessness); it’s being ruled by the enemy (Job 9:24). The world does the opposite of what the Most HIGH requires from man both in Words and in Action because the dwellers of the earth was taught and still being taught to break all of His Righteousness (His Laws - Isaiah 51:7 & Eccl. 12:13).
His Statutes and Judgments He gave only to His people in order to be a light to the other nations (Gentiles), unfortunately, the children of Israel failed!!! However, the Beloved Son of Most HIGH GOD, Christ Savior (Mashayach Yashai) is now that Light we should all follow!!!
Psalm 147:19-20 – Vs.19. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. He only gave His people, His Statutes and Judgments to be a light to the other nations (Gentiles), unfortunately, His people failed and defiled His Holy land!!!
1st John 2:16 – For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17. And the world passeth away (no longer exist), and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (were given Everlasting Life). Ahman (Amen - So be it)!!!
The lust (Desires) of the Flesh – What feels good to the flesh: (Ex: Overindulgence with sex in having Diverse Partners, Committing Adultery, viewing Unrighteous Entertainment (Porn), Food, Alcohol, Drugs (legal or illegal), Shopping, etc.)!
The lust (Desires) of the Eyes – Wanting what is seen (coveting possessions) and becoming overindulgent with material things (Vanity), in Shopping, etc. which leads to financial hardship (Debt), desiring Men & Women (Married or Unmarried), Money/Lottery, Lifestyle/Status, even Pets! We need to learn to be content with what we were blessed with because the Most HIGH always provides when we are lacking. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Heaven will bring far more riches worth more than all the wealth of this world can put together and that is Everlasting Life of Peace, Health, and Joy!!!
This evil world is currently saturated with the spirit of Covetousness (Lust)! Our current society was built on Greed; how to make money/a profit and marketing this greedy desire fuels the Lusts and making us criminals, and it is found in the all the mediums (media) for all to commit this Sin of coveting; we can hardly escape it because it’s on all the electronic devices (TV, Computers, Phone, etc.), and other outlets like Billboards, Magazines, and Radio as well as the first media outlet, word-of-mouth!!!
The Lust of the Flesh and the Lust of the Eyes is breaking the 10th Commandment to Not Covet! This sin can and does lead to breaking other Commandments of GOD which is broken down below!
The 9th Commandment to not Lie (bear false witness) – A person will Lie to acquire (possess/own) what the flesh & eyes desires!
The 8th Commandment to not Steal – A person steals to acquire (possess/own) what the flesh & eyes desires!
The 7th Commandment to not commit Adultery – A person sleeps with someone else’s spouse to please their fleshly desires!
The 6th Commandment to not Kill (murder) – A person commits murder in order to acquire (possess/own) what the flesh & eyes desires!
The 1st Commandment is to Not have any other gods before the Creator – Allowing people and things to be first (Idolizing) by making them a priority ahead of GOD is the breaking of His 1st Commandment. These idols can come in different forms representing His creation (Ex: Heavenly beings including the sun, man, woman, beasts, trees, etc.) or even other things like a phone, car, jewelry, career or business. He’s the Creator, the Living GOD, and He is to be placed first as the Priority in our lives and to be Worshipped because without Him, we would Not have existed to own the things we desire to have in our lives; He is our Source!!!
The sin of idolatry is committed by us when these things we lust after (coveting) in that they become first (#1) before the HOLY Father whether it be man, beast, places, technology, or even jobs because we allow them to consume our day-to-day to then put the Creator aside as next in line/2nd place (#2) instead of #1; this is a Huge No, No because none of these things or man can Provide, Protect, and Save us!!! So, if we Love the world then we are Not of the Most HIGH GOD because He Does Not Love this world including the things of the world, it is Not of Him; He cannot Dwell In Sin, He abhors (Hates/Despises) Wickedness, wherefore, the world is an enemy to GOD!!!
James 4:4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity (enemy) with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
1st Corinthians 3:19-20 - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain (folly/foolish).
The Pride of Life – Having the cares of this world - Basically, loving the world and what is in the world (what the world has to offer). For example, wealth, politics, social/entertainment, and religion.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world” also pertains to man’s laws and way of thinking (philosophy/ideology)! Which includes, but is not limited to:
Politics – Even though at times there are logical laws that were and are newly put into place, there are also hidden agenda laws for Evil within that same Decree/Bill that is not beneficial to anyone because the law was made for Unrighteousness (Wickedness)!
Tradition(s) – The traditions of men which includes the celebration of worldly holidays are not of the Most HIGH GOD; they are contrary to the HOLY Father’s Holy Days which He had ordained to be kept (observed) by mankind from the beginning! These celebrated holidays are of men; what they deemed right in their own eyes based on feelings (Proverbs 3:5-7)!
Free Will – With the overreaching of liberalism (the abuse of free will & speech), this world has a lot of rebellious sayings (babblings) for example, “Love is Love” – “My Body, My Choice” – “There are many ways to GOD!” These sayings are all vain (worthless/foolish) thoughts out loud that does not profit anyone including the Supporter(s) of those who act on these sayings.
1st Peter 2:15-16 - Vs. 15. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Also, with the alterations of your temple for Vanity (vain beauty), swapping out body parts, or making an inner part of your temple vacant for convenience sake while a precious life is forgotten to then justify these unrighteous acts by uttering the vain speech of, "My body, My Choice” is Very Irresponsible! Repentance is Extremely Necessary!!! Yes, the HOLY Father gave us all Free Will, but it was NOT to be used for Corruption - Our bodies (temples) are not our own, but borrowed vessels for this realm, so we Must do our best to take care of it including leaving it its original form of how it was made/given!!!
2nd Peter 2:18-20 - Vs.18. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity (foolishness), they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness (freedom/recklessness), those that were clean escaped from them who live in error (lawlessness). 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20. For if after they have escaped the pollutions (wickedness) of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour (Yashai) Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
Religious Doctrines – Pastors and Priests (False Shepherds) who are teaching the Word of GOD falsely (False Doctrines) by having their own interpretation (opinions - 2nd Peter 1:20) of GOD’s Words while filling their bank accounts (Greedy Dogs - Isaiah 56:11) and not humbly allowing the Holy Spirit to guide them to the Truth; there will be Just Judgment if they don’t Repent! The Most HIGH GOD will not be Mocked; He always has the Final Say!!!
We ought to be building the temple of GOD, our temple (mind, body, and soul) in His Truth by studying to show ourselves approved unto GOD in order to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth!
Haggai 1:2 – Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.
Haggai 1:4-5 – Vs. 4. Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 5. Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways!
(Definition of Cieled: To overlay with wood, plaster, etc.)
Haggai 1:6-7 – Vs. 6. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways!
As our HOLY Father has stated, “consider your ways”; let us take heed family and consider our ways and prioritize our life in His ways, and do His will that we were ordained to do from the beginning!!! We must get our house in order before our Savior arrives; we certainly Do Not want to be caught without having oil in our lamps (Not Prepared)!!!
It is time to let go of your Idols under the guise of all the religions (paganism) of the world! Repent and be baptized in the name of the HOLY Father (I AM = AHHAYAH), His Son (Christ Savior = Mashayach Yashai), and the Holy Spirit (Wisdom = Chaakamah)!
1st John 2:17 – And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.
This world will not last, it is coming to an end; as a matter of fact, we are in the last days and the world is showing her injuries from all the Abuse due to the wickedness of mankind (men & women) since the beginning. This world turned its back to the Most HIGH GOD, so we ought to do the same to this world. For those who hate this world and are Not of it, but are Humbled, and Keeping the HOLY Father’s Righteousness (Laws), and having the Testimony of His Anointed Son Yashai (Savior) will be able to dwell with Him in His New Kingdom to come!!! Ahman (So Be It!)
We pray this was edifying unto you.
Peace, Love, and Blessings,
