Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 78
The Limitedness of the Present-Day Economy
In the current economic model, you view success solely from the perspective of material well-being. If a large and profitable company contributes significant taxes to the state budget, it is praised, and its employees are content with their higher wages compared to other businesses. But what you often fail to see is the most important factor—the motive behind the company’s efforts. Is the company striving for the well-being of all humanity or just seeking profit for its owners and managers?
It is the motive behind every action that determines whether it aligns with the will of the Father. The Father’s will is unchanging: to serve all, not just a select group, nation, or state. True freedom—economic, political, social, or familial—only comes when each individual discovers the Father within. When this happens, you begin to strive for the good of the whole, not just your own interests. If you are the owner or leader of a company, your purpose becomes the well-being of all, not just your personal gain.
Imagine if you were the head of a family and you enjoyed wealth and luxury, while your family members were left to suffer outside in poverty and misery. Would you be happy, seeing their sorrow, while you lived in comfort? Of course not. The Father cares for all equally, just as you would care for your family. He teaches us through His spirit, within each of us, to do the same.
When you open your heart to the Father’s love, you will find that you cannot pursue selfish interests at the expense of others. You will stop stealing from your employees, underpaying them for their honest work while enriching yourself. Such actions are theft, no matter how subtly they are disguised. The time will come to repay what has been taken, and only an open-hearted soul will know how to do it.
Right now, many business leaders suppress their conscience and silence any doubts about their unfair actions. A profit-driven economy has become the biggest obstacle to future economic development. Companies struggling to survive raise prices, merge into conglomerates, and create economic chaos, all while the actual value of materials like gold, diamonds, and oil remains unchanged.
The fear and actions driven by this fear have led to a state where neither economists, businessmen, financiers, nor politicians understand the current economic or political situation. You are like a ship in a storm, unable to control the waves. Every attempt to steer the economy only makes things worse.
At international forums, you discuss solutions without truly understanding the problems. The real solution is simple: discover the Father within and place your faith in Him. Only then will you begin to see clearly and find the path to stability and peace.
