Immeasurable Value

While sleeping next to my wife, Kerin, I heard my twenty-four year old son, Jordan, roaming in the kitchen of our home in Gentry, Arkansas. Due to his special needs, I arose to care for him. After taking care of him and getting him back to bed, I laid down once again, and began to pray and meditate on the goodness of God.
This is what God showed me during two hours of prayer and meditation this morning beginning at 3:00 am.
While resting in God, I delighted myself in His graciousness found throughout the vastness of all He has created, In view of His glorious goodness, I began to question the purpose of financial currency in a world so freely lavished onto man.
God began to show me the poverty in global finances, the equality of every person’s net worth, the goal of those in poverty, the necessity for the poor to manipulate the thinking of man and to create scarcity or the illusion of scarcity, and God’s protection for those who honor Him and who steer clear of the deceptions of the poor.
God has enriched man through His creation, every aspect of creation being an asset to man.
God showed me that those who value money have a reduced reach on God’s creation. He has freely given us all things. In foolish pride, the poor dare place a monetary value on God’s creation. Those who calculate the world’s assets claim that the total value of assets is in excess of hundreds (100’s) of trillions of dollars. In the meantime, the total value of currency available in the entire world is only around eight (8) trillion dollars.
Considering a conservative estimate of $100 trillion in global assets, with only $8 trillion of available currency, the global economists by necessity acknowledge that everything in creation far surpasses the amount of money available.
In 1 Corinthians 3 verses 21 and 23 the Apostle Paul truthfully tells us, “all things are yours… And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” This being true, it is easy to understand the global economists have put $8 trillion into circulation, and this is done to take the focus off of the $92 trillion of assets which remain freely available apart from reach of manipulation. They have become experts at keeping the focus on the beggarly $8 trillion. With that small amount of access to God’s assets available in creation, the global system boasts $21 trillion worth of transactions occurring daily.
Regardless of the dollar amount attached, this still means that in the course of a day no more than 8% of God’s assets are shared between the people… and this is not necessarily done in the spirit of sharing. The opposite is quite true. For a large part, this is done in the evil spirit of poverty and competition, due to the folly of forgetting God and all of His lavish grace.
This is only in reference to assets including real estate and stocks. When the earth’s ecosystem services are considered, we start including the value of things like clean air, pure water, crop pollination, and climate. As of 2011, ecosystem services have pridefully and foolishly been given an estimated value of $125 trillion per year. Again, only $8 trillion dollars are in global circulation, which automatically creates the illusion of poverty.
The truth is that it is foolishness to place a currency value on God’s lavish creation. There is no such thing as a highborn nor a lowborn person. We all have the same net worth, because all things have been given to us freely. Our net worth is beyond a currency label.
Recently Elon Musk has boasted of being the world’s first trillionaire, quite possibly making him one of the poorest men on earth. He has given up the fullness of God’s lavishness for whatever he feels he is able to attain for himself and provide for others. In the process, he takes multitudes of the population away from the knowledge of God, and away from what has already been freely given by God. He has foolishly chosen to create through artificial intelligence “an abundance of assets, which will make the need for money obsolete.” In which process, the True Intelligence who gives us freely within Himself everything we need and more, is ignored and shrouded.
What more needs to be said about the necessity of creating a sense of scarcity in order to create a false sense of provision? Throughout the world, agriculture, housing, clean air, pure water, pollination and crops, among other things, are made to appear scarce or are made scarce. This is done by those who want to create value for the global economic system. In the meantime, the value of the ecosystem (which is God’s creation) is acknowledged to significantly exceed the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This acknowledgment is used to create incentives for the global population to continue striving to obtain through the manipulative global economic system, that which has already been given to us freely by God. It leads to power-grabs, political strife, and to wars.
What This Means for God’s People
God’s people do not need to fight the global economic system. Indeed, as Psalm 24:1 tell us, "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein." Anything which comes into existence belongs to Him.
This being said, God’s people are not to serve currency, but are also not excluded from using it properly. The 8% of assets bound in global currency, along with the 92% which remains outside of the reach of global economists, is all to be used as God intends. As Romans 8:31-32 tells us, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”
The early church as recorded in Acts 2:40-47 had it right. They honored the Lord and every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. They sold what they had (which means they did not fear dealings with currency) and shared everything (no one claiming anything to be their own), and no one lacked anything they needed. This was not socialism. It was freedom, and abundance in freedom, through love for God and for one another. A freedom which was vehemently opposed by those who lead the world's system, and by those who love the things of the world.
As Hebrews 13:15-16 also makes clear, “Therefore by Him (Jesus Christ) let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Therefore, let us not be fooled by those who forget God, who create artificial intelligence as a false provider of the abundance which already exists by the power of our all-wise God. Their desire is that we would serve artificial intelligence, becoming slaves to what is artificial, instead of living in communion with the living God and enjoying all His benefits freely with His people.
Let us remember that Cain did not have a heart for sharing the goodness of God’s creation with Abel, but with Abel’s offering God was well pleased. Likewise, Judas Iscariot had a heart entangled with love for things offered by the world’s system, and betrayed the Spirit of God, which led to his perdition.
In Christ, God has called us His children, and He is a good Father. The Apostle Paul’s words will serve us well. He states clearly in Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” As the Apostle John also tells us in 1 John 5:21, “Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” ...The "Amen" is to be spoken by our lives.
"Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." (2 Corinthians 9-11)
Being that our net worth is already created for us by God with nothing lacking, in addition to the fact that our greatest reward will come when the Lord returns, there is therefore no such thing as unemployment. To those who are not bound by the global economic system, Ecclesiastes 9:10 tells us, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” Whether within or without the system, those who freely serve the Lord will find they always have what they need. Again, as Colossians 3:23-24 tells us, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
The process of estimating the net worth, or the true valuation of every person, is measurable by a common standard. The common standard is the value of God, who has given us all things freely ...and His value is beyond measure.
