In Matthew 9, Jesus famously seemingly rhetorically declares:
Which is easier -to say your sins are forgiven, or to say get up and walk?
And of course, He heals the poor cripple / palsy sufferer.
What we don’t see is what happened in Matthew 8, where Jesus cast out demons from sinful people (madmen). Whereupon the crowd gathered to witness this told Jesus to get away from their town.
What did the cripple do after he was healed? He went home! What did Jesus say to him before?
Son, be of good cheer.
What do you think his illness was from? Sin? Just like the demon possessed? It was actually more like a betrayal BY the sinful demon possessed.
And it wasn’t the common folk who wished Jesus away this time, but learned men, scribes, who grumbled against him, calling him a blasphemer. Where is forgiveness without sacrifice of blood?
Here again, we see Jesus respond:
Why think evil in your hearts?
Did the scribes not have a right to question Jesus’ supernatural forgiveness of sin? Of course they did and Jesus knew it.
The context of forgiveness this time, involved a war in the heart. That is why learned men turned cynical and Jesus -was he cutting and sharp as usual? No, He was kind.
Therefore there are but TWO kinds of forgiveness -straight up and proxy. Sometimes, it winds itself up into a machine, thereby becoming “legion”. Later, I will divulge the reason people forgive one another, and it is not what many expect…
…
In the Bible (for we are Christians here -check your own scriptures), there are many calls to forgive. Forgiveness from God, forgiveness between jealous brothers, forgiveness for crimes. But the main thing is that sin and UN-forgiveness prevent prosperity.
We have a God who loves wealth and worldly happenings -for He so loved the world… THE WORLD -not just one righteous man. One thing many Christians forget. God loves our planet and all that goes on in the nations of men, between nations, between men and women.
He therefore wants sin dealt with efficiently, and forgiveness to flow naturally. And the pleasure to flow which He regulates. Yes, God wields a carrot as well as a stick.
Alwyn Uys (on YouTube) said that 2024 (now December) marks the time when the floodgate of inequity -unforgiven sin, pours out of the narrow end of a ‘funnel’. And 2025 will see the coming of Antichrist.
…
We see the makings of the First Beast right now. 7 nations with 10 kings from whom is elected the Second Beast -the persecutor who will mix economics and religion in a plan doomed to fail the people of the Middle East. Wars rage in nearby locations, stirring up world powers to intervene.
Already the world is being forced into Uys’ funnel, politically and financially. It won’t be long before the Rapture of the elect. Do your utmost to be raptured. Suffer for the gospel -don’t shirk your duties. More later…
