I haven’t sold anything, but did curtail buying stuff. And in gift giving, our family decided to only buy stuff for each other that we need, not frivolous purchases. But money is a tool and is needed to make it to the next day. Christians should have a nest egg and rainy day fund to address emergencies that pop up. To create such funds, we should all be frugal. One never knows when a flat tire or hot water heater breaks. Part of being frugal means not surrendering to marketing campaigns designed to manipulate folk from every dollar they earn. Selling off excess stuff a person owns might be a good thing, less is best, minimalism is an actual lifestyle! It might be a healthy goal for some who struggle with excessive shopping and spending.

[@ForeclosureGhost]

My friend, maybe think again about not selling anything? It doesn't necessarily need to be material items. When one denies his true inheritance as a son of God, in thought, word, or deed, he is to that extent selling his birthright. The kingdom is at hand.

I belonged to a church like that once. The doctrine grew so obnoxiously bad that the pastor ended up blaspheming the Holy Ghost in the pulpit by claiming he was the spirit of truth.

Nobody with a lot of possessions ever says, “yes” to that question.

Thank you for taking the time to break that parable down, Mike. I’ve been making that mistake of not correctly identifying that the man is Jesus, instead thinking He was the pearl. I love these short Bible teachings thank you!!

Proverbs 22:22 Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate, Luke 14:13 When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, Isaiah 58:10 if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:1-2 Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. James 5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 1 Peter 2:1 Put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. James 1:21 Put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. Ephesians 4:22 Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, Hebrews 3:13 Exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Matthew 19: 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.

[@joevi2593]

The only perfect person I've met is Jesus.

[@bugsocsollie1694]

Yes, and that is Israel's doctrine. They did just that in Acts 5 before this Dispensation of Grace began. The reason was because their 70th week was supposedly right around the corner, and they knew in a moment's notice they would have to get out of town. So they sold their stuff ahead of time and gave to the community of believers. The unbelievers kept their stuff not expecting to go anywhere.

[@RNWFoster]

All real Christians have been made perfect through selling all their possessions.

[@marcelarispe]

There is no other way but with Jesus. If we go far from Jesus, then when we pass over to the other side while being far for Jesus, make an educated guess who will be right there ready to take advantage of the opportunity to claim us. I prefer to be closer to Jesus...to make efforts every day to do the best I can to be closer to Jesus....to make efforts with my mind to put Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my heart, body and soul when I feel I am going a different path. (So difficult and valuable.) Undeserved Love and Kindness You give to us. Help us to Love You even more Jesus....to get closer to You. We need You in our lives. You came down to lead us in the right path of Good and Love and Kindess and Mercifulness and Endurance and Hopefulness and Wisdom and Good Decisions and everything Positive. Of all that is the complete opposite of worldliness and evil. Significant abundance I give it all to You. Significant loss I give it all to You. You are my Father, my Brother, my Best Friend. There is no other path but Your Path. All Praise and Glory be to You Forever Jesus.

How have "Christians rejected Him" [Christ]? I was hoping you would explain what you meant by this: 12:51

[@bugsocsollie1694]

Yeah, I didn't like that either. I don't even like the word "Christian" because it seems to include Israeli believers and Members of the Body of Christ Church. Which only confuses people's doctrine. They end up thinking they are Spiritual Israel and all their prophecies and promises are meant for us, too.

Proverbs 19:17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. Proverbs 22:9 Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. Psalm 140:12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Matthew 11:5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. Isaiah 35:4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you. Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver; the Lord is our king; he will save us. Luke 3:11 Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise. Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. Proverbs 29:7 A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge. Isaiah 58:10 if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.

But the grace of God is real , his Son is real , and his victory is real , the salvation opportunity is real , the blood atonement is real , the gate is narrow but it's wide open to BELIEVERS , (in the death (blood atonement) , burial , and RESURRECTION of the Lord Jesus Christ) , who with HEARTFELT FAITH , TRUST in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that paid for our sins !!!

We've all heard about people selling their soul to the devil. How can this be when the devil already owns the souls of non believers? Nobody needs to sell their soul to the devil. He already has it. What are your thoughts?

Isn't Jesus Christ the Kingdom of God if you are in Him, you're in the Kingdom of God ? (John 14:2-6; John 14:6; Acts 4:12)

[@galinaa.9760]

If God will be judging and damming 99% of the world, then that makes Him a loser and devil, the winner… but devil HAS BEEN already defeated by Christ on the Calvary! Hebrews 10:12 says that He is sitting at the right hand of God, which means, His work is COMPLETE = Winner! He HAS won people back to God, and those 99% don’t know it. The good news/Gospel is: going and telling people that Jesus saved them already and who believes it, Kingdom of God “activates” in him and then he goes and brings the same GOOD news to other people and so on… As in Adam all people die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive I Cor. 15:22 We didn’t do anything to inherit sin, we were born in it; in Adam we all became sinners. Similarly, we didn’t do anything to inherit sinless nature; in Christ we became sinless and the only reason why people sin (Christians included) is because they see themselves in Adam = sin/death, and not in Christ = forgiven/life, and so they live accordingly, as though between Adam sinning and now nothing has happened! Are ALL people in Christ? Yes!, through His death and resurrection! Is Christ in all people? No! That’s the reason we need to tell people GOOD News!

[@kellyhall753]

I had to listen to Michael Pearl’s message twice. He did say 99% of the world & “some” Christians would be damned. Originally & maybe after reading this comment, l thought he was including 99% of Christians. Glad I listened again!!!

[@kellyhall753]

What are the scriptures that calculate 99% of the world is damned in the end?

[@Desertvanlife]

The REAL question is if you lost your wealth would you still follow Jesus........I dare say 99.9% of believers would not

[@jorgeborrero8862]

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Philippians 2:6-7 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Romans 4:25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. Isaiah 53:7-9 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 1 John 4:9-10 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. Isaiah 53:11-12 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 54:1 Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married, says the Lord. Psalm 67:3 Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
