Usury - Keep a Christ Centered Life

No matter what man may think, the idea of usury has and causes a lot of unwanted things to occur in the life of our walks.

Ecclesiastes gives us the true account of the many vanities that man encounters on this planet, fortunately we have the Living Breathing truth of the Now Manifest Glory of God in Jesus Christ as of the Cross of Salvation. Through Jesus we can see mans salvation from usury in the Light of Gods Kingdom, showing us there is more to Life than what we can see and think to be important according to the world around us.

Walking in the Spirit we are free from the bondage of the law, and the curse of sin and death. We abide in Grace and the abundant and limitless Love of God in Jesus and His Resurrection.

Above all principalities and powers, Jesus has been placed at the Right Hand of Our Father in Heaven and IN HIM we have been given the free gift to be seated with Him as Kings and Priests ordained by His One and Perfect sacrifice to minister the Light of His Resurrection in out lives and that of others.

You might ask, what does the resurrection have to do with Resurrection? Well for ONE thing, God gave us the Gift FREELY without us having to earn it or work for it, Giving us to have FAITH in HIM, not what we do ourselves.

Between Faith and works, if you see works as something of value you would miss the Faith that then and always produces those woks. This is why Paul writes to us that FAITH is what is accounted to man as righteousness.

You'd say as well as we all who are confronted by this viewpoint in life, "Faith Without works is dead!", Jesus says "yes, but to him whom does not work, Faith is accounted to Him as Righteousness" because that Faith will produce works.

When it comes yo usury we almost miss the point when "things" become an issue of value, whereas with God, PEOPLE are beyond any worldly value, and because it is us who would either address or attempt to attend to the matter, issues of "self" vs "general public" or "popular idea" come into question. (unjust weights - mans judgement)

The Truth is that GOD is above all things and circumstances regardless of How things seem in this world, so we look to HIM rather than relying on a limited strength of material and monetary ideas.

Usury comes from a "Value scheme" of determination that addresses something above something else either in preference or application. That can mean anything considering issues of authority versus truth of ability and "potential" which is really FAITH above works.

The real problem is when it becomes applied to "Self" and "motive",  which is why we are driven by the Spirit and not the flesh.

Deeper in Spirit we understand that the Flesh lusting is the issue of passing away in the world, perhaps MORE clearly defined as fading moments, or perishable goods, when also as innocently as we are one place and not another we have been. In the case of innocence here we look to the manifest Promise of Gods Blessing in what we would call "the future tense", (why does one hope for what he sees?) rather setting our eyes on THE KINGDOM OF GOD ("My word Will by no means pass away") - the Grace and Eternal Love of Jesus.

We set Our Eyes on Greater Riches IN CHRIST and the Unconditional Love and Mercy of God.
We walk with confidence KNOWING we are blessed abundantly and fully accounted for by Jesus Christ Himself above our shortcomings and beyond our failures, & by this mercy we are saved and Gracefully Kept in HIS Glory.

I pray the Light of Jesus Open the eyes of your Heart to the Glory of God in your life and the Goodness of
His Love and Mercy in all you do. May Grace abound in us all with abundance in His Kingdom Fruits of Redemption. amen and amen
