What Did Jesus Do?

Was Jesus rich?  No, not in a money way.  Jesus said we are NOT to store up riches.  

Look at the four Gospels and evaluate exactly what Jesus did.  He was helping the sick, feeding the hungry, and getting his followers to redistribute their wealth, not storing up wealth.

Powerful religious leaders of his day vehemently opposed Jesus.  When given the opportunity by the Roman Governor Pontius Pilot to free Jesus, the CHIEF PRIEST encouraged the angry mob to chose let a murderer go free over Jesus!

Jesus associated with gentiles and by doing so stirred up powerful, conservative religious leaders of his day in a bad way.  Jesus recruited a hated tax collector to be one of his closest disciples, one of the 12 Apostles.  Jesus felt it was the sick who needed a doctor to heal them.

When Jesus sent the twelve out to preach two by two, he told them to take nothing with them.  They were to rely completely on God and on the hospitality of the people they met.  

Just these few things sound liberal to me not  conservative, using the language we are familiar with today.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal."  Matthew 6:19-21

I think Jesus would find it difficult be a Republican or Democrat in America today.

As You Believe

Faith is a key, but you need not believe me.  Test it.  You need faith as big as a mustard seed.  Doubt can lock the door.  Experiment with faith. Use your faith muscles daily and build them. 

Keep your body as healthy as possible with regular exercise and nutritious food.

Spend some time every day in some kind of quiet meditation or prayer.  Seek first the Kingdom of God.  

Renew your mind.  If a doubt shows up, quietly and deliberately change your thought from doubt to faith.

Speak words of gratitude and faith.  If words of doubt do come out of your mouth, quietly cancel that energy by speaking the word cancel out loud.  Carefully craft all vibratory energy which you allow yourself to speak.

When you are around others, do your best to maintain a noble silence if negative conversations develop. Keep your mind on your gratitude for God's goodness in your life.

Get definite about what you want in your life.  Consider the universal laws when making your choices, if what you want will harm others. 

Follow Holy Spirit's guidance and do the work.
