Dirty Money 💰🤑
What's goodie good people?! And others 😆 you know my daddy says I can't leave y'all hanging right?! 😊 How have you been doing? Amazing right? 🧐 Oh, okay.
Did you know the Bible talks about “Dirty Money”?! 👀 Yes, I was surprised myself but it's in there. That's what I call it anyways. Some might call it “blood money.” Let me give y'all game on what it is because we’ve been seeing it in real time as is.
So check it. When Judas realized he had made a mistake by setting up Jesus he gave the money back from setting him up. Threw the money down in the temple and went to hang himself. Buddy was so distraught about crossing Jesus, an innocent soul, that he took his own life. Ain't that something? (Mat 27:3-5)
Made me look at Jesus leaving Judas be in an entirely different light. Jesus knew Judas cursed himself as soon as he crossed him. He didn't need to curse him. Judas had already done so himself. In Deut 27:25 it states “Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.” Which is exactly what Judas did. Took a bribe (payment) to set Jesus up to be killed. And in doing so his judgment was already set in stone 🪨!
Wild revelation right?! To have that kind of patience and grace for those who betray you. Knowing that the trap they set for you was cemented for them from jump. 🤯
But let me not get off topic. We're here to talk about the “dirty money”; so let's do that.
The chief priest went to collect the bribe money from the temple that Judas left behind because they knew it was the price of blood. (Mat 27:6) Scripture states “It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.” Do you know how wicked you have to be, to be more concerned about blood money being left in a holy place vs taking the life of an innocent soul?! 🫠😮💨🧐
Then the grand kicker in all of this is what the chief priest decided to do with the dirty money. Do you know what they did?! They bought a potters field. 🧐 Track with me now. They took the “dirty money” and bought the “potters field”. Are you tracking with me yet?! 👀 They bought the potters field, with the dirty money, to bury strangers in. (Mat 27:7) Then they named the field “The Field of Blood”.
Did you know there is a book that speaks on the tension or violence between US congressman leading up to the civil war?! The title of the book is called “The Field of Blood”. Look it up. Kinda interesting considering our current climate in the world today. Discovering the wickedness in high places being literal and spiritual.
What's even more interesting is there is only one way to rectify innocent blood being shed in the land (Num 35:33). Where there is no justice……there's no peace!
I'll catch y'all later. Love ya and be easy.

What’s Lying at your Door?
Hello, Bonjour, Que Pasa ! How are you doing today? Hope, you’ve been doing well of course. Did you miss me? I know it’s been a little while since I’ve written. However, I’m present now so let’s dive in.
You read the title right? Hopefully it was what grabbed your attention. Did you go and check your door? If you didn’t no sweat. I’m sure after this blog you will be constantly checking your door to ensure that you are aware of What’s lying at your door.
When we look at Genesis 4:7 we are in the midst of the story concerning Cain and Abel. God is speaking with Cain concerning his countenance. He begins to explain to Cain that had he done the right thing he wouldn’t be upset he would have a smile on his face. Oh, excuse me, I’m not sure if you are aware of who Cain and Abel are, yet alone, what happened between the two of them. Let me give you a quick rundown. Cain and Abel are brothers, sons of Adam and Eve, they were both asked to give an offering to God. One was accepted or respected and the other received no praise. Cain, the one who received no praise was upset so much that he took the life of his brother Abel. You can find that incident in Gen 4:8. Hopefully that has brought you up to speed now.
When God tells Cain that had he done the right thing he would be smiling, yet, because he had done the wrong thing sin was waiting to attack him. Ultimately, sin was lying at his door.
See, when we give in to the lust of our mortal body, we allow sin to rule us while failing to realize that our bodies will die. (Rom 6:12) Even more reason for us to ignore the lust of our bodies. When we give in to the lust of our bodies, we are ultimately stating that sin rules us and because we are allowing sin to rule us, death will also have its way with us. (Rom 6:16) Sin and Death are always in close proximity of one another. Have you checked to see if death is knocking at your door?
We have an inheritance to obtain. Yet, the inheritance is going to require us to fight to obtain the prize. Fight the good fight of faith. Fight to remain righteous. Fight to stay in the will of God. Fight till the end. When we look at Numbers 32:23 we see that Moses was preparing the Israelites to go to war across the Jordan so that they could obtain their inheritance. Yet, two of the tribes wanted to stop in a land right before the Israelites were to cross the Jordan river to go into battle. Moses basically reminds them that choosing not to fight in the war with the rest of the tribes would be sinning against God. Here we see that the war for our inheritance is not an option. We must fight! We also see in this scripture that what would be waiting at the door for the tribes of Rueben and Gad had they chosen to stay in Gilead and not fight.
They wouldn’t have even been able to enjoy Gilead because punishment would be their only option. “But if you don’t keep your promise, you will sin against the Lord and be punished.” God gives us the option to choose whom we will serve. Whom we allow to rule us. Sin or Righteousness. The consequences that follow are based on which we choose. You can take a seat in sin and allow death to lay outside your door or you can choose to stand 10 toes and prep for the war that lies ahead. Just understand that the battle is already rigged.
The Victory is inevitable!
Love ya later,
