The Bible is filled with Hidden Treasures to Discover.
One of those treasures, that continues to compel my ongoing study of the Creator’s Word and His World, is from the oldest book in the Bible… over 4,000 years ago… Job told his friends:
“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you; Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who, among all these, does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this,
In Whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?” Job 12:7-10

When I discovered that Job’s story included that statement (Job 12:7, 9 & 10)… I knew it had to have a page in my book. It would introduce a whole section devoted to “EXPLORING THE DESIGN AND PERFECTION OF THE CREATION.”
When he said “who doesn’t know?” … do you think he is trying to make it clear that an open-minded discovery of nature should naturally lead anyone to recognize that there is a LORD of creation responsible for all the intricate design that he sees all around him?

“Ask the beasts, and they will teach you;”

What I’m giving you today is a gift. It’s really a key. And it’s designed by your Creator to unlock mysteries of God’s Awesome Creation. Part of that is to know where to find this extraordinarily helpful insight from God’s Word. Job chapter 12

Job chapter 12 has to do with the Number One Evidence from the “Things that are made…”
Paul’s first chapter of his epistle to the first Generation of Messiah-confessing believers in Rome, declares… “… his (God’s) invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So, they are without excuse.” Romans 1:20
Everything you’re seeing out in nature on a warm spring day – flowers, grass, butterflies – All of it is giving you clear perception of …
DESIGN … And when you see the intricate and purposeful designs in nature … what does that tell you?

It tells you There IS a Supreme DESIGNER who designed it all! A very intelligent Designer at that!
And That’s the number one attribute of our Creator’s divine nature – The Designer is the Author of Creativity.
And when you look at all the beauty and variety of what He created, do you get the feeling He had a lot of fun doing it?

Our Creator continues showing humanity why people can have so much pleasure by using their intelligence to echo His creativity.
… think about it…
Endless designs in His world of nature inspire us to reflect our Creator’s genius by enabling us to be creative.

You know, one of the realities of life that our current physical science-based medical system has had to admit in recent years is that there are non-physical causes to poor health and disease. One widely accepted non-physical cause is “stress.” It’s quite well known today that the presence of stress in one’s life, and how one deals with that stress, has a direct impact on our health. Unfortunately, the solutions the medical system most often prescribe today for mental and emotional health are expensive drugs. And they often have serious side effects. So many people are “stressed out” that anti-depressant drugs have become a growing and prosperous business for pharmaceutical companies.

Paul says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” And when most people hear, “Renew your mind,” they think about the surface level. Replace the negative thought with a positive one. Speak scripture verses over your anxiety. Change what you’re consciously telling yourself. And none of that is wrong. That all matters. But, in a way, it’s just half the house, because your mind is not just one thing. Your mind has two parts. The conscious mind is the part you know about. It’s the main floor of what gets all the attention. It’s all about what you’re actively thinking right now. The words forming as you read, the opinion you’re forming about what I’m saying. That’s your conscious mind – the main floor. But underneath that, there’s a deeper floor, the basement buried in the foundation under the main floor. That’s the subconscious mind. This is where everything lives that you’re not actively thinking about. Your habits, your automatic responses, your deep assumptions about yourself, about money, about what you deserve, about what’s possible for your life… about God, His nature, His will for your life… It’s all down there …running constantly without you watching it. Let’s look at a good example that really makes this idea click into our reality.

In recent years, we’ve all learned a lot about massive deception, widespread fraud and vast public propaganda regarding health and disease prevention.; One of the many hard-working, medical-freedom-loving, health care professionals who has been sharing his research openly for everyone to benefit is Dr Bryan Ardis. You can access his discussion of some of his background and remarkable discoveries on a past episode of Reclaiming Your Legacy, linked in today’s transcript. Dr Ardis did extensive research to write his highly informative book titled: “Moving Beyond the Covid-19 Lies – Restoring Health; Hope for Humanity. Many patriot podcasters have interviewed him about the many topics he’s researched and written about.
Since the global onslaught of the artificially induced planned epidemic of 2020, Dr Ardis has been at the forefront of God’s providential plan to uncover the generation’s-long stranglehold of demonically-controlled industrial titans over all humanity.

When God’s people recognize that the path of the society around them is collapsing, the prophets of the Bible give us an unmistakably clear assignment, if we’re willing to accept it… Be a generation called to rebuild the ancient paths.
The confusion and uncertainty assaulting humanity worldwide today is being identified by many as an all-out strategy of destructive warfare from the Enemy of mankind himself. So, what is the ‘assignment’ God has for His people in the middle of such alarming chaos?
The 58th chapter of the prophet Isaiah declares clearly, Almighty God’s displeasure with the superficial, self-centered, and hypocritically empty religious rituals of His people. Instead, He desires a deeper and personally more authentic form of worship, defined by distinctive actions. And biblical worship – let’s not miss it – is a sacrificially devoted spiritual life-style, not just a weekly religious exercise.

The number seven is not just a frequent word in the Bible. It’s a deliberate element of God’s architecture of divine meaning. It’s sewn into the language itself. When we track where it shows up and why, a unified idea keeps surfacing… God finishes what he starts. Follow that thread with me as we see the word itself.

Jesus said He would build His Ekklesia (Matt 16:18). It doesn’t mean any of the characteristics that most anyone you know would naturally associate with a church. He didn’t say he would build a church building… He would have used the word ‘synagogue.’ He didn’t use any word to describe an institution or religious organization. He just said He would build His Ekklesia. And that’s simply a divinely assembled family that congregates together regularly to carry out the mission of our Heavenly Father – bringing Messiah’s Redemption to a broken world. Through that Ekklesia family, He brings all the attributes of His kingdom into the communities where we dwell. That’s why smaller is typically better. It takes time to develop relationships into a functional assembly of believers. They see one another as genuinely fitted family members of Christ’s body in a local congregation. They learn to love one another. As they discover how their unique giftings complement one another, they discover how to patiently mature together and share their burdens with one another. That’s what develops the characteristics that distinguishes, to the world of pagans around us, the sweet fragrance of agape love for one another. You don’t get that from a “church” that gets all its ques from an institution that must have strict conformity to a man-made system of by-laws. Yes, policies are necessary for any association of human beings… but when the local body of believers sees themselves as Messiah’s Ekklesia, devoted to following the Bible based heartbeat of the Chief Shepherd of their faith in Him alone, all the trappings of manmade “Christianity” become almost insignificant.

Many pastors who avoid debatable or political/social topics, claim they are ‘just called to preach the gospel.’ Others avoid contemporary arguments in society by sticking to their preaching and teaching schedule. These seem to be noble practices to most Christians, but do you think it’s only fair that those who sit down to dine at the table of where they get their spiritual food each week have a responsibility to humbly challenge their spiritual teachers to address controversial topics that are relevant to the issues we all struggle with that are going on in our world today?

When you think about taking a proactive change of direction to reclaim your legacy, what do you think is the most important thing that you’ve personally learned in your lifetime so far? While you make the focus of your attention on having a positive influence on your own children and grandchildren – your next generation – what truth or idea have you discovered that is such a powerful influence on your own life that you’d have to include it among the very top dozen or so important things that you have ever learned in your life?

Does it matter what you believe about origins? The devil hopes you don’t think so. Maybe you’ve heard people say… “It doesn’t matter what you believe about Genesis.” “Beliefs about origins are not really important to my life.”
What do you suppose is the Number One Thing that causes God’s own children to suffer unnecessary losses, frustrations and destructions in their lives?
Remember What Jesus said about why He came?
The enemy disturbs people’s lives for a reason, why?
It’s … “to steal, kill and destroy.”
Jesus came to give his children what?
“…that you may have life and life more abundantly.” John 10:10
Abundant Life? Would you say that deception and destruction should be a part of that?
Notice what the prophet Hosea says about the one thing that affects God’s people destructively.
“My people are destroyed for a lack of… what? … Knowledge! Hosea 4:6
So, who do you think is the one who wants you to stay dense (stupid)? … in other words, do you think you should just remain ignorant about what God and true open investigation have to say about any fundamental knowledge like the topic of origins, creation and evolution?
How high of a Priority do you put on Truth? Where do you find the truth?
Remember what Jesus said? “…for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37
And what was the sarcastic comment of the one man to whom Jesus spoke these words?
Remember what the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate said?
“What is truth?” John 18:38
So why are so many people so mixed up about the truth?
Paul’s letter to believers in Rome said: “They did not like to retain God in their knowledge.” Romans 1:28
Do you think that’s why many people say… we don’t talk about religion and politics around here? They don’t want to think about God and what He has to say about the vital issues of society that everybody’s talking about.
