I stand in a field watching a freight train collide with a passenger train.
The impact is like a massive explosion followed by a lot of smaller, chaotic bangs and screeches of bending steel. There is so much dust and smoke and carnage before me that I cannot imagine anyone in the passenger coaches surviving. And none do. The accident kills every single person.
The silence after the accident is deafening. I stand there for a while in total shock until I hear Breakthrough speaking behind me.
Breakthrough:
“Those who refuse to pursue wisdom of heaven place themselves and all who follow them at great risk.
The wisdom of heaven and the wisdom of mammon are at complete odds with one another. Heavenly wisdom builds the kingdom of God, actively seeks to live in unity and community, actively works to bring purpose and destroy lack. But the wisdom of this world seeks to benefit only the self. They make false promises to God about advancing His kingdom when their increase comes. But they rarely live up to that promise.
No, they increase their luxuries and their lifestyles and do proportionately less than they did when they were poor. And as they increase in wealth, they spend less time with the poor because the poor are now as parasites in their eyes.
They become so obsessed with worldly things that they can no longer see that their freight train carrying all their selfishness will collide with the very ministries they are called to support and strengthen.
And, in trying to control and manipulate the work of God by men and women of God, they destroy entire ministries.
The wisdom of this world seems very wise to people in this world. But it is a selfish cancer that rips them apart and keeps them immature. For if you cannot dwell in peace with your brothers and sisters on earth, you can certainly not dwell in peace with them in heaven.
Your greatest folly is your assumption that your priorities and thoughts will be different in heaven. You will change for a time, enamored with all that you see, but as with a child from poverty living in a new house for the first time, you will eventually get used to it and settle into your true self. The self that you decided to be on earth.
For God is already on earth. His glory is already on earth. The Holy Spirit is already here. The son has already given the commands that rule earth and heaven.
If you hate the words of the son on earth, you will hate them in heaven.
If you were to ignore the words of the son in heaven as you ignore them on earth, you would make heaven as hellish as earth.
Heaven is a place of peace and joy and selfless love. The fruit of the spirit has absolute authority there. You are sent many opportunities to live in peace and harmony on earth so that you may pass your tests but most of you refuse to be patient and kind to one another.
Instead you are rude, get offended easily, refuse to share what you have and stubbornly refuse to grow in wisdom and gratitude.
An ungrateful child is a curse upon his parents and an ungrateful adult is a curse upon all who know him.
For the bad steward cannot see the worth of people or things in his life. And to take even a small thing for granted is to curse that thing.
Listen carefully:
That which you do not steward will be removed from your life. It will be taken away from you violently by the devil. For you give the kingdom of darkness authority to isolate you when your heart is poisoned with familiarity.
And those who steward what is in their life will receive more of it.
A good steward takes careful stock of everything and everyone in his life and is careful to give honor where honor is due.
A bad steward lacks the discipline to love proactively and loses what he ignores.
A leader may hire a man who specializes in an area that will bring his business or ministry great success. But then that leader ignores the council of that man and fails because of it.
It is thus because the leader was unable to give honor where honor is due. Heaven is a place of gratitude and honor. It is a place of stewardship above all.
That which you steward wisely will increase. That which you do not steward will be taken from you.
Do not be foolish, walk in proactive love, consistently looking for excuses to give honor where it is due.
Therein lies the secret to breakthrough, that you cherish and steward the things that you desire to increase.
If you take something for granted and do not walk in the wisdom of heaven, which is manifest through gratefulness and stewardship, you will walk in perpetual poverty and struggle to make ends meet.
Many cry out for God to meet them face to face. But it would change nothing. For God is everywhere, in everything and the Son has clearly communicated His instructions. But most men ignore what they are told to do in favor of what mammon tells them to do.
And do not assume that mammon is only money. Mammon is a spirit of worldly control and power.
A husband or wife may ignore the command of Jesus to love one another and instead try and control their partner with uncaring tone of voice and terrible words.
Listen with fear son of obedience:
If you cannot love people on earth, you will be no different in heaven. For though you are driven by pain and bitterness and hurts of the past, you are still held accountable for every word.
Why do you defend the rights of people to hurt one another? Stop this behavior! Warn them in love. Weep for them. Send them for correct teaching and council for their very souls hang in the balance.
Or do you not know that the person you speak to with such disrespect is a temple of God?
No, man becomes familiar with his own brothers and sisters, whom he can see, and treats them with contempt. And he thinks that God, whom he cannot see, will appear to him and change his heart?
It is up to you to make the decision to repent and turn away from the patterns of this world. You need to be less concerned with the sins of other people and a lot more concerned with your own.
You are given grace by God through His son and it is wise to steward that grace with all your heart.
For the wicked servant will receive grace, yet show none to those who are under his command.
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling friends, for the way you treat others is recorded and you will account for every word.
Repent then, and humble yourself before God so that He may lift you up! Step into obedience so that you may step into grace.
Work hard to walk in an attitude of love and honor and carefully steward everything in an attitude of grateful humility.
Those who bring you wisdom are worthy of double and triple honor. Look after them as if they were your greatest treasures. For wisdom is everything but even wisdom is useless without love.
Seek first the kingdom son of obedience. Continue to honor wisdom with sacrifice as you are doing.”
Me:
“The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
