Cursed Is the Man Who Trusts In Human Beings - God

Now here is true wisdom - Jeremiah Chapter 17 - verse 5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the Lord. So why do we follow after men, who time and again fail us and in them we trust or place our hopes, faith, but refuse to trust God? Are we all like Thomas that we must touch? Where has faith gone? Is it mere professing?

Now if we look at the signs of the end times Matthew Chapter 24, Timothy Chapter 3 we see the signs and symbols of the age. Timothy 3 especially concerning people. In 1 Peter 4 Peter warns believers "verse 12 - beloved do not be surprised by fire that is occurring among you." Oh that was thousands of years ago, was it?

So what are signs of evil and of this age? Can usury be evil? Can abortion be evil? Can breaking law be evil? Can not taking care of people be evil? Can greed and coveting be evil? Might it be that evil is now presented as light, good, relative? Rhetorically who says bad is bad, whats bad or good, what can or can't, right? Morality, whose might one ask? I'll make my own choices. Hey that sums it all up.  Lets follow up with this written thousands of years before Peter or Matthew and Christ.

Psalm 50

New American Bible catholic Version - verse 1- To the wicked man God says: "Why do you recite my statutes, and profess my covenant with your mouth, 17 though you hate discipline and cast my words behind you? 18 When you see a thief you keep pace with him, and with adulterers, you throw in your lot. 19 To your mouth you give free reign for evil, you harness your tongue for deceit.

Psalm 53- 2 "The fool says there is no God". Such are the corrupt they do abominable deeds;

Verse 5- Will these evil doers never learn, they who eat up my people just as they eat bread who call not upon God?

The choices, examples, the lessons, the deeds right before us all and the choices, very evident for all. So in the simple example of Home Foreclosure we see a very vivid example of works which is the extending of the carrot [as light] but always followed with the stick [darkness]. Your friendly banker who really has no intention of helping you with your mortgage, they do not need to, will tell you differently. That is if you do not fit the "criteria" - "qualify." They would like to help, really?  Yes and we can also add that "small business help" . Believe me if your personal credit history is good. Give us a break, facade. Never mind getting someone back to work.
Read my prior articles. You who dream of this president saving you, trusting in men. You who place your trust in him and Congress, why? What proofs has he or they delivered by works to you? Just who is qualified and what are the parameters that he sets for help? Do you think skin color, gender, religion or professing matters? Do you trust in mere words, looks, the package? Yes as reported in the press, a new class of people has emerged from the "middle class" called the new homeless. yes and lets not forget he has only been in 100 days. He could only take care of the investors, bankers and foreigners, give him break now, what do you expect? Actually like I have been saying for years and consistently, nothing. I have never placed my trust in him nor any man. Then again who would know about that?

Now understand this, it is not wrong that ones debts be paid. It is in fact an obligation. Yet and this is critical it is the method and the subsequent destruction that follows which needs to be considered by all honorable, moral people. Usury is not honorable, false deceptive practices are not moral. Lies and misinformation or half truths are not moral. Yes and understand this God also seeks mercy from the landlord, those who own the debt, he requires compassion and honesty and extension of help to the poor man. Yet who says what is immoral or not? They that set their own laws and rules and make their own choices laugh and scorn as if He does not know or see the work of their hands and devices.
 
The St. Petersburg times says our president is outraged as are "responsible" citizens. Hey just who are these responsible citizens? Do we now have two new groups, the responsible and the irresponsible? Then my vote for him and congress to definitely be in the second group, hands down. "Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, earlier Monday charged that the move to pay bonuses amounted to "rewarding incompetence" - really? Ok once again, really?

As for me I also place my trust in a man. Yet this man is also the Son of God and in the Words of God almighty. Yes Jesus Christ my lord come in the flesh, one person of the trinity. To deny the trinity to deny God makes you an anti Christ, simple and pure. If no belief no loss  but in my opinion ones soul, but if you profess to believe in holy scripture then seek the truth before it is too late.

Now for those who love Gods Word know this message is not mine. It was written by God for you. I only use His Words presented in another form. I did not add or subtract, you verify. I would rather you read His Word for yourself. Yet know this, in my opinion we are truly in evil times and His coming may even be at the door. Now God has a different watch then mine, yet He has set forth signs and symbols for believers to recognize. If you want to know for sure then read, observe, listen comprehend, seek and you shall find. It is right before those being called. Yes the message to all, received by the chosen and rejected by the many.
