The Lord God sets up regulations for the Israelites’ new way of life here, from Passover instructions to redemption of the firstborn, but nowadays, Jesus says everyone gets to find redemption in Him, and this was merely a shadow of things to come (see Hebrews 9:8-9 — wow, I just noticed this was here 😅 I should’ve noticed when I did my first round of this nearly nine years ago 🤷🏼♂️ oh, well) — this passage is found in page 39 of my NKJV Bible, pages 50-51 of my NASB Bible, pages 86-88 of my VOICE copy, and pages 83-84 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I won’t go into much about the actual laws of the Old Testament here, but one thing I found out in early 2014 was that cursed objects are real. I’m serious. There’s all sorts of media outlets that have demonic content, and we should NEVER bring those into our houses, lest we ruin ourselves or even endure eternal punishment for it. The worst of it has to be heretical books like Wayne Grudem’s works of literally any kind, not to mention A.W. Pink’s content and Paul Washer’s, and also political books like what I’ve seen my roommate drag home before. I also think John Hagee’s works are satanic and demonic, since I see a hateful undertone in everything he writes. That’s just a few. The Eminem CDs also have unforgiving content, likewise anything else with a parental advisory sticker (we don’t need to make such content haha). I love the Jumanji movies that came out late 2010s, but I don’t think the instructors needed to be puppets of the satanic U.S. department of education system (this can be true of any country, actually) — beware of demonic stuff in our media. Careful what you indulge in, guys, for all this I speak of comes from different religions, and that’s not good, since they ALL lead us away from Jesus. It can take a while to get back, too, and drugs are evil as well; I think they’re cursed objects. I just found out some 16-year-old apparently took a pill that killed him (I don’t know how he got it or if he even wanted one, but you never know, stories like this might be fabricated, and besides, I believe in forgiveness anyway). Oregon had legalized them last November, and so I pray for healing there… I think the drug users need some counseling, and some help with not bouncing off the walls over the wrong stuff… I stay away from all content like this as best as I can to ensure I don’t hurt myself, and even though I got two movies earlier this year from Wal-Mart, neither of them are R-rated or above, and I want to find godly moments in them, but it’s unlikely, since both involve some intense events, I think. I don’t have an exhaustive list of what is or isn’t safe to entertain yourself with, but I think it’s best we learn as we go along. Still, use what you know to your advantage. I do like the Black Panther movie, though; cool stuff! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 #wakandaforever — yep, I have a T-shirt that says that haha 😂😂😂😂😂 I love it!
I didn’t notice the passage of the latter portion of chapter 13 until about early 2017, when I was still applying for jobs and trying to get off the streets (it’s a long story, but this exodus/wilderness story I paralleled to it) — I guess that’s why life’s been hard 😅🤷🏼♂️ but I’m grateful to be in Gilbert now, since I was invited to live with Jonathan and I’ve stayed with him since 😇😇😇😇😇 I think that happens a lot in our lives, actually, for even though the easy way I’d love to take, I unfortunately feel like difficulty might be preferred in God’s sight, even when there’s less hostility in the easier route… I dunno. Europe’s pretty cool, but many nations across the earth are still in lockdown… for what I don’t know. But I pray healing for EVERYONE in Africa 🌍 the situation’s very serious, for I think Satan’s led many to believe the prosperity gospel there, and that’s not a good promise, huh?
I still don’t have much blessing after getting paid, though, for I need to pay too many bills each month and my job, even with a lot of hours, doesn’t pay much despite the high wages and average prices. I found out three weeks ago they increased the minimum wage a fifth time since 2016 (this was back on New Year’s Day), but there’s nothing I can do to make extra cash, since a car loan is very unwise and I can’t do deliveries on my bike so I can earn some wages… I need some help. I hate living on vague survival measures, and when I get a miracle, I seem to lose all of it like immediately; I’m starting to think I can’t keep any miracles, and that people who are wealthy might just be born into it, and all of us are screwed who aren’t born into wealth, and perpetually, too. I know what you’re thinking, “You can work hard enough to succeed!” But it’s obvious this only seems to be possible for the elite, and when we’re generous, it seems like everything goes to waste. I want to listen to more preachers of Christ from across the world, but I have no chance on finding an authentic message most of the time. I want to preach the good news to the nations in the Asia/Pacific area, but it’s obvious that the heresy of “Christian” Nationalism seems to have won preemptively. For it’s gained the paper’s attention, and they’re trying to help them gain absolution. I don’t know what to do, since I can’t leave the house tonight or next week if there needs to be a Game 7 of the NBA Finals (GO SUNS!!!) I even have difficulty playing recent messages from 2RC and Hillsong Australia, so I might be boxed in… pray for a release, please?
