    I know that since I stopped fighting the Holy Spirit I work much longer. I've always worked hard, but after work I was done. Now I work before and after working my regular job, and I love it. So much that my side gig will soon become my full time job. My clock is set for 3:30 AM and 90 percent of the time I'm up long before that. I eat 1 meal a day and feel better than I ever have in my life.

      You should be eating more than one meal a day . . . . Our joy should be in doing God's work. Serving Him in his eternal purposes. Your reward for doing regular work is the physical wealth it brings--but we need to do something to earn a reward in Heaven, too.

      @@michaelreeves1147 Read what the Bible has to say about fasting, and then read what science is learning about it.Turns out it has enormous health benefits. I am on the ketogenic diet which means I run on fat. Dietary fat takes a long time to digest and when that is gone I burn body fat. Your body will not do this on a carb based diet and carbs digest quickly meaning they need to be replenished often. I don't get hunger pains and I have as much energy at the end of the day as at the beginning.

    You know what also is twisted and messed up with today. Apparently at least where I work. They have changed the definition of work to where you are now expected NOT to work to be rewarded. Its messed up. I guess the bosses are lazy and expect the employees to be lazy so that it looks like they are a strong leader. I guess everybody is trying to push toward a rebellious way on everything today including things that will obviously hurt themselves. During the last 5 or so years, things have began to get really confusing at this point and I don't really trust anything anymore at this point. I will just follow exactly what the word of God says at this point. God can see my work, thoughts, strengths, weakness, intentions and everything. I am sure he will guide my work the way he wants it. Who else has been radically confused lately during this insane new society?

    • @michaelreeves1147
      @michaelreeves1147 3 роки тому

      Many of the things we call 'work'--most of the activities you do at your job--don't serve God in any spiritual sense. And you know at multiple points in Scripture we are taught that our reward for our physical work is physical goods. We need to be doing things that are worth something spiritual--not just material. Working for money before you know how you are going to use that money to further your ability to do good spiritual work is not the Biblical concept of good work ethic. Sweating alone is just a material state of being. Sweating because you're working toward something good, something holy, that's meaningful.

    Hi. First thank you for sharing these teachings and videos.
    I'm noticing that you have said you guys recharge on Sundays. Does that mean you don't follow the instructions to keep the 4th commandment to keep His Sabbath? Just wondering.
    I'm trying to search out more teachers and I'm hoping you might be a good one.
    I'm going to look on your channel to see your stance and understanding regarding the old and new covenant... I.e. were about marriage, Not about His laws, the Torah.
    Those laws, the torah definitely call for us to keep the Sabbath Holy. For all generations.
    I'm also new to your channel so maybe you do keep it Holy.
    Basically, I'm hoping you understand the torah, that you understand Paul, because most teachers have him totally backwards. And that you understand the Commonwealth of Israel.
    I'll keep watching for now. You have a good speaking voice and a nice presence on video.
    It's hard to find sound doctrine teachers, sound teachers that don't put Paul higher than Yeshua!
    Anyways, I like your charts so far. Those really help.

      37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
      38 This is the first and great commandment.
      39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
      40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
