Buy and Sell

Leviticus 25:14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

Wall Street will tell you that you will never get rich with that attitude. That is the ruler of the air speaking. Satan wants you to believe that this passage is meant to keep you poor. Not at all, this passage is directly linked to love thy neighbor. It isn’t about finance. It is about relationship.

The world does not operate in fairness. Someone has to take advantage of someone else in order to gain riches. That is the capitalist market. Let the buyer beware. Buy, sell or trade it does not matter, the market will only invest if they see the potential for gain. We all know that and we have been told our whole life, nobody gets nothing for nothing. There is no such thing as free in the world.

That is true of the world but what about God’s Kingdom? That realm is not of this world. We do not get to enter into that Kingdom without accepting a Free Will Offering. The only thing that will transition you from this world into that glorious kingdom is by accepting that everything you have been told and believe is not true. You can receive something of enormous value absolutely free. For those of us that have done that, we believe it to be true. For those who have not, letting go of that worldly truth is a hard thing to shake.

I have friends who absolutely believe that there is a God, not a little g god but the One God. They have seen evidence that is in their view indisputable proof of God’s existence, yet cannot shake the issue of that Free Will Offering. So ingrained into his personal experience is the issue of buy and sell and that everyone has a motive that he will not accept that free gift without understanding the bottom line, what does God gain.

Then I have to say God is in the penny market and taking worthless stock and investing in it. He invests Himself in the product and turns it into something of great value. And that is true.
