2.15.2013 EARLY RETIREMENT

EARLY RETIREMENT PLAN (i can start anytime i want..the sooner the better!)

1. sell ALL that you possess
2. distribute it to the poor
3. come to and follow Jesus luke 18.22
 (ie. seek FIRST His kingdom and His righteousness
warning:  if you do this you will never have any time for yourself.
warning: if you decide to rather focus on getting/increasing for yourself
getting to heaven will be impossible (have you ever tried to squeeze
a live camel through the eye of a needle?)
what do i get?
1. whatever you need to seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness matthew 6.33
2. as soon as you have done 1,2 and are busy doing 3 above,
what follows until physical death is a kIross.
this is whatever portion of time God has allotted you
that is fit and proper to the doing of what you have set about to do.
a 'season' given totally which yields fruit that remains to His eternal glory.
kind of like a 'season' to plan, another 'season' when you plow,
another 'season' when the plants grow, another 'season' to reap
and finally a 'season' to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
3. of course you have left behind you your possessions
and you have left behind your family
unless they too following the same
early retirement plan as you.
this all being true
you receive 'many times more' of the things you have gotten rid of
and 'many times more' very intimate and enriching relationships luke 18.30
than you would have had if you had not followed this plan.
4. when God wants you, you die, actually its more like falling asleep,
and you wake up looking into the loving eyes of Jesus. psalm 116. 15
(note: the only reason i haven't started yet is that i suffer from insanity
ie. choosing the insecurity, anxiety, fear and emptiness of here and not
instead of His will and...at his time His presence forever. ecclesiastes 9.3
