Trey Knowles: Risala 12 – Allowed Given Authority

Authority over your life was given by God, and you placed your faith in Him. You walked in obedience, and no one could come between you and that path unless you chose to pursue your own desires above it. I tell you, be like Eleazar, who died for his faith when his mouth was forced open to make him eat pork. Come away from what is unholy. Like Eleazar, choose an honorable death rather than a life of disgrace by taking part in or dwelling in what is unholy.

I look at you: you will do anything for money, and in this way your colonizer devil has control over you. It is told to you by my Lord Yeshua that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Why is that? Because you allow morals and faith in our Father to run out the door. This is how your colonizer devil gains control over you. When he colonized you, he made you eat from his hand. And now, at this very moment, the rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. But if you are faithful, my Father knows you and gives to you freely, and the righteous will never be forsaken.

Do not be like those Gentiles who are double-minded—one minute they are with God, and the next minute they are not. Do not be like those Gentile pagans who run after worldly things.

My Lord Yeshua teaches us not to worry, as written in Matthew 6:25–34: do not be anxious about your life—what you will eat or drink, or about your body and what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Consider the flowers of the field; they do not labor or spin, yet even Solomon in all his splendor was not clothed like one of these. If God so cares for the grass of the field, will He not much more care for you?

Therefore, do not worry about what you will eat, drink, or wear. Your heavenly Father knows that you need these things. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself; each day has enough trouble of its own.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have. Look at who governs you, and consider how faithful you are to them compared to God our Father. You have become double-minded. Look at those who govern you: they take bribes to shed blood, they take interest and profit, and they gain from their neighbors—even from you—by extortion, yet you have forgotten my Lord. Choose this day whom you will serve.

What kind of spell does your colonizer enemy have over you? Has not my Lord Yeshua given you power over snakes and scorpions and authority to overcome all the power of the enemy? Nothing will harm you.

Why do you not obey my Lord's commands? Do you not know that my Lord and Father are one? You cannot be united with my Lord and Father if you are in love with the colonizer devil. You cannot be devoted to two masters; you will either be devoted to one and hate the other.

Surah Al-Munafiqun 63:9

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٩

O believers! Do not let your wealth or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does so—these are the true losers.

Your colonizer devil will extort you and make life difficult for you. He seeks to shape you into his image and likeness through the pursuit of stolen resources and material possessions—wealth that ultimately means nothing. Your enemy has you coveting, and when you cannot obtain what you desire, you are ready to shed blood just like your colonizer enemy. Yet you allow this. So I ask: where is your loyalty—with God our Father or with your colonizer enemy? For now, I cannot distinguish you, oh House of Jacob.

Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
Grace and peace.
