Christian Clarity Review

Job was the greatest of the children of the east. No mention of money as a mark of wealth:

Job 1:1-3 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil. And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters. And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.

Where is the money in:

Genesis 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

Money is false measurement system: a deception/Mystery Babylon of what prosperity is.

As one sent to literally preach the virtues of money, the power of money, a supposed de facto empire of money over total reality, Joel Osteen displays a god who never says no with his own theater of the absurd. God wants you to ‘win!’ –with money –is anti-Christ’s whole message. In a fallen environment wherein evil literally makes sense as its own kind of logic with its own speech, anti-Christ always appears to have a little sump’in, to make a good point or to deliver on his lies.

Trusting in money ( in particular, in other people’s supposed implicit trust in money as denigrating one’s neighbor in flagrant violation of : Leviticus 19:15-18 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand up against the life of thy neighbour: I am Jehovah. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt earnestly rebuke thy neighbour, lest thou bear sin on account of him. Thou shalt not avenge thyself, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am Jehovah.) quite beside the whole lie of “yes, but God always gets in the way of real ( i.e. “more” ) money.”

Osteen probably has never heard or understood where money came from; that even among the heathen the legend goes that the one who introduced coin money was sentenced by the gods to stand in a pit of water, the level of which always recedes when he reaches out to take a drink and overhead is a bountiful plenty of food that lifts up out of reach when he reaches for it –forever. He just advertises money as something other than what it really is.

What Osteen himself and thus all those who follow his speech are left with when they are left in that non-creating speech is a false logic based on false opposites. To the Osteen crowd ( he is certainly not the only one..) the best they have as anything different from what they speak is “God never said we had to be poor!”

In non-creating speech as a rule, there can never be Enough. Thus in money: there is no such thing as enough to those who seek solutions to any ill in money. You can’t solve sin with more sin. In Christ, who is Creating Speech, there is always enough and enough to give away. Money doesn’t like the word “give” except in that very particular situation where it is what is given: by giving money, an implied lack is given rather than a satisfaction or genuine salvation.

Teach a man to fish rather than just giving him a fish? Money gives people hunger for itself instead.

When Osteen and those like him preach prosperity “In the Name of Jesus Christ” they lie, even though having God Himself is the Only and Ultimate prosperity. They claim that Jesus Christ is actually a slave to the desires of the fallen human heart ( a heart continually possessed and manipulated to desire evil ) such that if God don’t give you what you want and “know to ask for” then He is the one with the problem.

Look in pre-communist revolution Russia or China and pre-Hitler Germany and see the same lie openly promulgated as bowing down to money via the lie of human free will as non-creating speech. Look what happened as a result: Real Christians got blamed for what false prophets had mis-led the people into worshiping as merely one result, aside from millions of non-Christians turning on each other –over money and money as a supposed arbitor of ‘which’ ‘ideology’ brings the best ‘prosperity’. People left in that situation devour each other. Distinct ethnicitys and nationalities only exacerbate the whole thing as falsely but more easily identified targets of mere distinctiveness and as such permission to engage the emotional response sets instilled via the false prophets against what they are deceived must be the bottle-neck in the flow of “prosperity”. Present day Russia and China is a prime of such: the “capitalism” they “do” is to destroy each other in supposed “Christian”-logically-mandated ( or in some circles “Jewish”-logically-mandated ) “competition”.

As such a false prophet, Osteen, Jakes, Schuller, etc. are part of an outright attack on the people. Those among them who follow them are those that in a blatant conversation on nazi’s or communist will say how evil they are but who unwittingly have the exact emotional common sense of ‘what prosperity is’ of both. They didn’t get that sense from nowhere.

And yet they are themselves to a great degree in belligerence against God already to find any attraction whatsoever in the message of false prophets. They have already heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, didn’t like it because it did not promise them they would be rich and thus then pretend to be searching for Jesus –a name brand of Jesus that specifically insulates them from all persecution.

Not saying there is going to be another one, but in the first Great Depression, America did not go communistic because of the real Jesus Christ and the real effects in the heart of those to whom He had revealed Himself. The occult attack worked in Russia and China because they did not have the true gospel of Jesus Christ, but had a counterfeit. When the people reached for it as a defense, having forgotten that they knew it was a counterfeit and was not Jesus Christ but supposed “principles for living” in “free will” and that they would just play along “for a while” and that while turned out to be all their lives, it was no defense against the occult because it was the same thing –and they had been explicitly warned by a few who were killed by the false prophets. People always forget Stalin in particular came out as that Stalin after he went to a seminary and got a foundation in manipulation via false gospel.

Osteen and crew are deceived and are deceivers. They can pass a lie detector test on what they preach being their personal best honesty. Yet it is a lie and profits none. Those who receive that same best honesty turn out to be destroyers and murderers over money.

Even minus some great depression, sell your house in a city if you can and buy some land you can farm and live on and be self-sufficient in Christ. Buy acreage if you can. Live in a tent or lean-to on it until you can build a house yourself. If you can get internet access, it will save gas driving to the library to learn growing and raising your own food, produce your own power, network with other real Christians, etc. If at all possible, buy land with water on it or at least get a deep well. Don’t buy in places with restrictions. If your own neighbors there have all the perfect equipment and you have none, so what? Child services comes and says its “child abuse” for your children to live in those circumstances and that they have to go to government schools and learn to despise simple living, honorable marriages between men and women and you as their parents ? –kill them.. in the time and manner Jesus Christ does through you understanding that trials are for those who deny what was done in the flesh –not for those who boast of doing so. ..The child services people. Kill everybody that seeks to enforce that lie or protect those that do to include those of the press and the “art” community. Understand part of the whole lie of false prosperity is that you have to get permission from money and those with it to live and part of that permission is accepting their false Jesus that is pacifistic at all times and condemns those who kill others in self-defense or as saving others. Understand as well you have to start completely over in a way of living that those who had it before you and were doing very well at it as God allowed were seduced to despise and then let go of it and/or be killed by those who worship money as the only measurement system.

It’s life. This life. No matter where you go or what the circumstances, you can’t get off.

Genesis 3:17-21 And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return. And Man called his wife’s name Eve; because she is the mother of all living. And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.

Judges 3:1-4 And these are the nations that Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, all that had not known all the wars of Canaan; only that the generations of the children of Israel might know war by learning it, at the least those who before had known nothing thereof: five lord ships of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwell on mount Lebanon; from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

Job 12:16 With Him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his.

Jeremiah 5:29-31 Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? An appalling and horrible thing is committed in the land: the prophets prophesy falsehood, and the priests rule by their means; and my people love to have it so. But what will ye do in the end thereof?

Isaiah 28:9-29 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts? For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. … For with stammering lips and a strange tongue will he speak to this people; to whom he said, This is the rest: cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. But they would not hear. And the word of Jehovah was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little: that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste. And I will appoint judgment for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, ye shall be trodden down by it. As it passeth through it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be terror only to understand the report. For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow when he would wrap himself in it. For Jehovah will rise up as on mount Perazim, he will be moved with anger as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and perform his act, his unwonted act. Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts a consumption, and one determined, upon the whole land. Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? Is he all day opening and breaking the clods of his land? Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, cast abroad dill, and scatter cummin, and set the wheat in rows, and the barley in an appointed place, and the rye in its border? His God doth instruct him in his judgment, he doth teach him. For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod. Bread corn is crushed, because he will not ever be threshing it; and if he drove the wheels of his cart and his horses over it , he would not crush it. This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.

Matthew 13:9 He that has ears, let him hear.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
