In the world, a young man learns how to use a pick and a shovel. His body grows strong by the muscles he uses. He learns how to strike the rock so that his efforts are effective, and he uses his weight and momentum with the shovel, so he does not strain his back. Years go by, and he is now a man set in his ways. He accomplishes much and is content with the value the world has in him.
Then his ways are disrupted, the mine closes down and he is stifled as to what to do. His knowledge is no longer valuable, and he is fearful, as that knowledge was what he relied upon to survive. He panics, and does something rash in desperation.
Whether his desperation leads to opportunity or disaster, he does learn something new about himself. He learns that nothing in the world can be trusted to last, and no amount of skill or knowledge can alter what is set before him.
This is how the world gives.
This is NOT how the Lord gives.
A young man learns that God is everything. And the young man also learns there is an Authority over all Creation. As he matures, he sees that the world and the flesh use life to maintain existence on Earth. In his maturing he also learns that if he wishes to prosper in the world while he exists, he must embrace what the world offers, and be of value to gain from it. The young man sees what the world gives as from God, and what the world takes as from God. And this is how he defines God's Authority in Creation.
The young man is now a man. He has seen how the world claims love, and how it is used to manipulate the living into action. He notices that the world demands faith in what money can supply. He notices this includes everything from religion and acts of compassion, to ideals of peace and war. As a man, he begins to see that there is no purity in how the world defines God, and begins to consider the unseen qualities of God, which the world cannot tarnish.
Begin to consider that the Lord God is in everything. If you are beset by a barrier, the Lord has placed it there. If you separate yourself from him, the Lord has allowed this to be done. Everything in the opposing ways of the world has purpose and is also of the Lord God, just not directly onto you. The reason is perfect. Our existence has no meaning, just opposition to the truth. The more you rely on the world, the more you have proven you do not seek wisdom, as you only trust the knowledge you are provided by what is set before by the world. This opposition is the veil the Lord God has set in front of the living. And the master of this illusion is the enemy.
From now on, you are to raise up in prayer these moments where you witness the illusion. Your trust in the Lord God will give you understanding. This understanding is all you require in the sight of the Lord and Father. In the Spirit this is considered the vision of the Lord.
When your trust in the Lord God bears fruit of understanding, this is your soul recognizing the unseen qualities of God that the World in its veil opposes. Any actions that you take that honor the Lord God's authority, is in opposition to the flesh and world, and is there by rejected in the world, as it is foreign. Ultimately, if you honor the Authority of the Lord God while in the world, you will face increasing opposition and devastation.
Worldly wisdom suggests you can believe in the Lord and still prosper in the world. This is also a trap set to weed out those who seek gain and security. These are what the Lord God considers lukewarm believers. And they will be judged accordingly.
The Lord would see each of us gain eternal understanding from the giving of his vision. He would have us recognize the veil. And our gift to him is to see this poverty we are in Spiritually, and seek out the unseen qualities of God, so to act on their purity.
If you desire to see by his vision, seek this out in him. When you are shown what the veil has upon you, raise up what you have seen in his vision to him and the Father in prayer. Then, the end result will be that you will act on what faith and trust in the Lord God has set before you. This is a development of honoring the Father's will. This will replace your error of reasoning in the world, with strength in the Spirit Eternal.
Blessings.
And in the Spirit, the Lord God said,
"My vision is to be acknowledged and trusted, and what is to be accomplished is good."
