Fools trust in flesh


To trust in flesh is utter foolishness because all men are flesh and they can die any time. All men are liars, not because they always want to lie but because their knowledge is incomplete. The only one whom we can trust in is Jesus Christ.
It is written in Jeremiah 17:5 “Cursed is the man who puts his trust in mankind and whose heart turns away from the Lord his God.” Yet, people trust in people because they can see people, they cannot see God. They don't trust in God because he is not real to them, they don't trust in Jesus because Jesus is not REAL to them. Even believers do not trust in Jesus because they do not know Him.
Many believers will stand in front of Jesus and He will say to them:”Go away from Me I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” That is because they never knew Him, they never trusted Him and they never followed Him. You only get to know Jesus when you put your trust in Him and you OBEY Him because then He reveals Himself to you. As long as you still trust in yourself and in other people you will never get to know Jesus because Jesus is not your source of supply. If you OBEY Jesus and deny yourself, abandon your own wisdom, abandon your own means and put your trust in Him, then you will get to know Him, because only then you will pray and He will answer. As long as you still trust in yourself you have no reason to pray. As long as you trust in other people you have no reason to ask Jesus anything and He will not supply to you because you will not give Him the glory or the honor, you will not recognize Him.
People trust in people and they end up in eternal damnation because they never get to know Jesus Christ for real!
