38. two gods


wherever your treasure is
a chain is connected to it and to your heart
this is the MRI/x-ray machine
of the Holy Spirit of God

if you want to know where you're at spiritually
just look at where's your money
wherever your money flows
it tells you where's your loyalty

according to Jesus himself
the two gods are not God and Satan
for Satan is a tempter, a created angel
he broke away from God, to the other direction, had gone.

God and Mammon
the two vying for your heart
God vs money and materialism
seek God's help to set them apart.


Matthew 6

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c]your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

  1. I struggle with this, too. It is easy to use money as the source of security because it is something we can (or can't, sometimes) see. Whereas, believing God requires we trust something we cannot see. I guess that's why it's called walking in faith. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1
