7a

Typically on Earth people are more than willing to dedicate a portion of their entire lives no matter the cost to the things of this Earth to build up a good life and retirement and they call that their “future” however I am more than willing to fully dedicate my entire Earthly life to promoting the things of God so that I can spend Eternity with Him which is a REAL and complete future and I will do that on Earth no matter what it costs me Nah 1:2-3 2 GOD is serious business. He won't be trifled with. He avenges his foes. He stands up against his enemies, fierce and raging. 3 But GOD doesn't lose his temper. He's powerful, but it's a patient power. Still, no one gets by with anything. Sooner or later, everyone pays. Nah 1:12 GOD has something to say about all this: "Even though you're on top of the world, With all the applause and all the votes, you'll be mowed down flat Nah 3:14 Get down to basics: Work the clay and make bricks. What did the Israelites in Egypt do? They worked he clay and made bricks! Nah 3:19 evil has seeped into every nook and cranny of the world. Everyone has felt it and suffered. Hab 2:4 bloated by self-importance — full of himself but soul-empty Hab 2:4 the person in right standing before God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive, really alive. People on Earth tend put their faith in things and people of this Earth but I only put my faith in God who is not of this Earth Hab 2:5 Note well: Money deceives Hab 3:18 18 I'm singing joyful praise to GOD. I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God Zeph 1:2-3 2 "I'm going to make a clean sweep of the earth, a thorough housecleaning." GOD's Decree. 3 "Men and women and animals, Anything and everything that causes sin — will go, especially people. Zeph 1:11-12 The god Money is dead. 12 On Judgment Day If money is a god (which according to scripture it is) then we had better watch out! It’s a forbidden fruit! It looks and sounds good but look what eating the forbidden fruit did in the Bible! Do you want that to happen to you? In the Old Testament the word “salvation” applied to a person’s life on Earth but in the New Testament it applies to your destination in Eternity Zeph 2:3 3 Seek GOD, all you quietly disciplined people who live by GOD's justice. Seek GOD's right ways. Seek a quiet and disciplined life. Zeph 2:5 The Word of GOD is bad news for you Hag 1:3-4 GOD said more and Haggai spoke it: 4 "How is it that it's the 'right time' for you to live in your fine new homes while the Home, GOD's Temple, is in ruins?" In the New Testament YOU are the Temple so in those terms: "How is it that it's the 'right time' for you to live as you do while God’s Temple-you are in ruins?" On this Earth human beings greatly honor their kings and listen to and obey what they say to them BUT human beings do not honor God their ultimate king OR obey Him OR do what He says! When the Temple was a physical building that needed renovation in the Old Testament God said: Hag 2:4 Get to work And now because of the New Testament you are the Temple so: Get to work Hag 2:8 8'I own the silver, I own the gold.' Decree of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies.
