GOD'S ABUNDANT LIFE

DEEPER UNDERSTANDING FOR THE ABUNDANT LIFE

Turn your world to the Abundant Life

God’s way has value, purpose, and gives us true riches of peace, abundance, freedom, good health, and family closeness.


God’s way is a little garden; you don’t even have to own it. Stay close to the land and nature. Many things grow yearly without replanting, including fruit vines, fruit and nut trees as well as vegetables and flowers. You get fresh foods, exercise, sunshine, something of interest and activity; you get abundance to share and help the needy.
Qur’an 3. 15, Psalm 107:31-43

The extra vegetation turns into better soil with composting, and food for feeding animals (useful pets) that give you fertilizer for your land, will mow the extra land in your community, will give you milk to drink and add to the eggs and grains to produce many wonderful foods. The animals reproduce; give you hair, feathers, or skins, etc. for many useful things. The bees from the abundance of vegetation produce honey and wax and pollinate the crops. You get good health, joy, peace and freedom to do things at your convenience.
Deut. 7:12-15, Qur’an 91. 111,112

All these riches come from God and keep your family together with a united effort and delight in what God has given you. By helping in the garden and with the animals, the children learn how to provide for their families.
Psalm 119:97-104. Having many children is a blessing and a security with God’s way. This is true social security. Psalm 128:3 The very young and the elderly can still have a useful life and still learn to love and care for each other.

With the abundance and the sharing, you have a community with no poor among you, and no need for war. This is the love of your neighbors God calls for. In addition, you are at the property daily to keep it in good repair and to enlarge it as you need or desire with the natural things around you.

You get to enjoy the outdoor life
of seeing things grow and having clean air and water around you, BECAUSE, with all this abundance, you have not polluted your environment and you can live a long life on the earth; that is the promise of God !
(
Isaiah 1:16-20, Deuteronomy 8, Proverbs 28:19; Qur’an 3. 15-19)

Great civilizations have risen and fallen by their own ways, proving that God is true to His word.
When you know
Leviticus 26, you know the past, the present and the future. Create your retirement garden paradise, here and now.

Deceptions and Facts

DECEPTIONS

The primary war is not military.

The death and maiming of our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters is not just on the foreign battlefields.

The war is against technology that destroys:

Automobiles kill more than the wars (2006=44,000).

Nuclear Power produces dangerous wastes we cannot fully contain in the future.

Medical Technologies produce dangerous wastes and create more sickness, bondage and pain in the treatment of diseases.

Televisions, Batteries, Automobiles, Plastics etc. are hugh polluters of landfills which pollute land and water.

Electricity and Plumbing add hugh amounts to the cost of a home and keep us in bondage to employment so we are away from our home and family. Stress causes disease.

Processing of our foods and unnatural feeding of animals is keeping us in sickness and disease, weakness and pain.

Famine: Causes and Solutions

90% of US grain goes to feed livestock

1/3 of Africas peanut crop feeds cattle in Western Europe

Harvard nutritionist Jean Mayer estimated that bringing down meat production by only 10% would release enough grain to feed 60 million people.

Letting cattle graze instead of being grain fed would release huge amount of grain for human use.

FACTS TO PONDER:
World War I 1908-1919 8 million died 21 million wounded

Flu Epidemic 1918-1919 20 million died at close of World War I

World War II 1939-1945 15 million military and 10-15 million civilians died ("The war arose from the same basic political and economic conflicts as World War I")

The League of Nations and later the United Nations were formed to end wars. Both have failed There is a solution: God's Abundant Life.

Deceitfulness of Riches

Man’s way makes you think you have a great abundance, but what you really have is bondage (slavery) to leave your family and home to pay for those things; you only have the responsibility for your family and possessions, without time to enjoy them.
That is the deceitfulness of riches. Deut. 31:16-30

Your children are raised by strangers and not learning how to be good sons and daughters, grandchildren and neighbors. Neither are they learning how to prepare for their future families. You are working with strangers who usually don’t even live by you. You lose the love of family and neighbors. Isaiah 2:6

What you eat must be paid for, is polluted by processing or unnatural feeding and chemicals given to animals. With the stress, lack of good foods, exercise and sunshine, you get sickness and diseases of long duration. You lose your health. Isaiah 1:29
Jesus said that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I (The Word of God, my comment) have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.)

No one is home to take care of the very young or the old… again strangers must do it and be paid to do it. You reject having children because the expense is too great considering education, health care, fashion, and inventions etc. so you lose your future care givers. Psalm 107:41
