Matthew 6:33 - Bible Study

I felt pressed by the Holy Spirit this morning to study this scripture for Matthew 6:33. What I'm finding is that we think that we have the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus), but a lot of it has been intentionally changed to keep the majority in darkness. 

It is very likely that Matthew 6:33 is one of those scriptures. But, more importantly, from today, I'm beginning to think that any Bible or Bible commentary that you might find will still fall short if you do not know the original languages.

At first, I did not find anything interesting. I could not find anything in the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon. I couldn't even find the resource page I used to access all the time from Scripturetext.com; thank you Google. But, then I visited http://www.peshitta.org/ and http://aramaicnewtestament.org/gospel/matthew_6.htm. I tried the Google translator tool since no translation was offered on the second website. The results are very interesting...

Peshitta Aramaic/English Interlinear New Testament: not therefore be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be added these (things) and all and His righteousness of God the kingdom all these things require you.

Direct Greek Translation: and first seek ye the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things were added unto you (Oddly enough, there were no alternate translations for "were added").

Was it an error in translation, as is common with the Google translator tool, or has something been lost in translation or intentionally changed by translators? I'm having trouble deciding. Do your study Bibles ever question the translations? In your daily devotional, you should.

Because the second translation is more exciting I wanted so share it. In light of who God is, the current faith training I have been going through, I believe that the translators must have thought that they needed to correct the tense in the sentence. But, they lost the original meaning. 

Don't toil. Lilies don't toil. God has taken care of everything that you need already. He cares more for you than flowers.

The Primary Purpose of God - Faith Training

However, The Son of Man shall come, and will he then find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8b

I found too many instances of overlap when I was watching the Fullness of Christ faith training and Graham Cooke's interview with Patricia King. Graham said, "Everything is about relationship because God is making you in His image. There are no accidents; everything's planned for that precise purpose." And, what I see is how the Fullness of Christ faith training is taking the randomness of becoming more like God out of the process. 

Graham spoke of God saying that He would show him His kindness and another time His peace. And, in the faith training we choose to pursue and experience God's nature, be love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, etc. I see this as a beautiful step closer to going deeper in relationship with God--to really see Him.

He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

-Psalm 1:3 

I understand that the natural mirrors the spiritual world. I understand that everything starts as seed. And, yet, I still have been pressing more for the impossible nature of God, the miraculous, when it comes to, well every thing I can imagine.

And, not only this. I have been comparing my personal progress to that of Jean Miller. But, she operates at such a baffling level of faith because she is more in union with God. And, she stands solidly on this one truth: God Is Good. She does not accuse Him of being anything that He isn't when she does not immediately see the fruit she desires, and she recognizes and accepts the process of death to germination to sprout to fruit.

She's compared looking at our life's circumstances, which we have faith to turn around, like looking at a baby in a womb or a house under construction. IT LOOKS MESSY! And, sometimes to build our faith, God, in His infinite goodness, allows for things to get worse, much worse, so that we experience the fullness of overcoming.

When things look messy, there is the tendency to abort. There is the tendency to abandon the mission of bringing the Kingdom of God to earth. We even forget that God is always with us and for us. But, with the realization that it is perfectly normal to experience the extreme opposite in order to enjoy the fullness of God's nature, we can remain in peace.

Here is an entry from my journal yesterday:
In reality, I was behaving like a farmer who had planted seed and went daily to the field looking for the fruit and mid-season became angry because it was not the time of the fruit. And, I cursed the fruit, shook my fist at God, calling Him unfair, unloving, and then, left the field and all the fruit to perish.

Do We Have Free Will?

You can thank Jean Miller for giving this revelation.

I was sitting in one of her Skype faith trainings, and someone was talking about a topic of how to they get rid of the feeling that they can't do something, and I was telling them that I learned from Prophetess Ida Diego to command my spirit, mind and body to line of with the law of life in Christ.

And, then one of the guys in the training told me that the famous evangelist Smith Wigglesworth used to begin everyday by telling himself what attitude to have. "I am happy...etc." Of course, I was a little bit surprised, but I know that the body just falls into comfortable patterns, and feelings/emotions are easily influenced by outside forces.

But, we are little creators. We are creating our world. We have free will. We have the freedom to choose our attitude. We have the freedom to choose who and what to love, and we have the freedom to remain in sin, doubt and despair or to choose salvation, faith and hope.

And, I want to say again that I was boggled by this mystery of why it seemed that the ungodly enjoyed all the blessings of God that the righteous enjoy. The thing is God rains on the just and on the unjust. He gave the same laws or rules for everyone to enjoy life. And, those that choose Him above all enjoy life everlasting.

Solomon mused about this, and I think that one of Job's friends or Job had the same question, but the answer is simple. There are laws that God made that govern the universe. We are little creators, creating our realities through our thoughts, actions and practiced ways of being.

Those that live in gratitude experience bounty. Those that are ungrateful continue to lose more and more. Those "saved" and unsaved have the same sort of experiences based on which attitudes they CHOOSE. So, every day we can choose life and abundance life by living in the Kingdom of God (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, etc.) And, forgiving every single wrong that is done against us (God really). Or, we can live in dark places and experience an abundance of suffering in this age and the next.

We are taught to meditate on things that are pure, lovely, reputable (Philippians 4:8). Why? We are taught to forgive everyone that sins against us seventy time seven times in Matthew 18:22 (really, infinitely). Why? Because when you practice THE WAY of life, the ways of the Kingdom of God, it will be well with you.

Oh, and Fear Not. Do not fear. Do not be afraid. Do not entertain the spirit of fear. It will keep you from entering the Kingdom of God. Remember, in Revelation 21:8, the fearful and unbelieving are cast into the lake of fire. The servant fearful to lose his master's money in the parable of the talents was cast into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 25:30).

God sees fear as sin.

He sees being fearful as wickedness and "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9)?

So, command your spirit and in time you will gain mastery over your soul (Luke 21:19).

It is worth it to resist the devil and everything unlike Christ. It is worth it now and in the age to come. Choose Life. Follow the Way of the Lord that you might take possession of what God has given you in His Kingdom. Be strong and very courageous. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He will direct you. Do not rely on your own reasoning. Do not try to figure out why Yeshua commands you to do something. Do it, and you will know.

I bless you to know the truth and be free. If you would like to learn the process through which we create our realities (being made in the image of the Creator) join the Fullness of Christ Discipleship Group directed by Jean Miller. The Kingdom of God is only entered by force (Matthew 11:22)!
