Restore to Truth 1 - The Truth About Insufficiency


You Are Always All-Sufficient

The Illusion About God’s Insufficiency

All illusions come from people who create a God in the image and likeness of man. These people cannot imagine a God who is greater than themselves. Based on their experiences, they conclude that there are needs to be met in order to obtain certain results. And their God must be the same way.

Although they have no problem proclaiming God is all sufficient and all-powerful, they still think that God would depend on some things to be sufficient, perfect, and content. They are saying the ‘Perfection’ itself is not perfect. So they created this God who ‘depends’ and ‘needs.’ Therefore, they created the illusion of God’s insufficiency: God has unfulfilled needs. God is not all sufficient.

The Truth about God’s All Sufficiency

However, if God needs some things to produce His desired results, where does He get it? Isn’t He the Alpha through the Omega? Is there anything existing outside of God? Isn’t He the ultimate Creator of all things? Isn’t He all and in all? Is there anything that’s not of God?

Keep in mind God’s perspective of time: All has happened from the beginning to the end, at the same time. All the time is present from His perspective, as His name proclaims, “I AM.” He has seen the beginning to the end of time.
So the Universe doesn’t ‘need’ certain results. Other than what’s happening; the Universe doesn’t ‘need’ anything else to happen. The Universe is the result. “It is finished.” Every moment of the Universe is at its perfection, just like every season, and every time and purpose under Heaven.

Therefore, need does not exist in God. Other than what’s happening, God doesn’t need anything else to happen.

This will help you better understand it. The terms of God should always be interchangeable: Life, Love, Peace, Truth, Joy, and Liberty.

Need does not exist in ‘Life’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Life’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

Need does not exist in ‘Love’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Love’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

Need does not exist in ‘Peace’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Peace’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

Need does not exist in ‘Truth’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Truth’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

Need does not exist in ‘Joy’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Joy’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

Need does not exist in ‘Liberty’. Other than what’s happening, ‘Liberty’ doesn’t need anything else to happen.

So here is the Truth about God’s All Sufficiency: God doesn’t need anything. He is the All-Sufficient One!

The Illusion About Your Insufficiency

You may think that you need some things or some circumstances to obtain certain results, such as being ‘happy,’ ‘content,’ ‘peaceful,’ or ‘alive,” etc. Therefore you see your life from the perspective of having needs.

You try to avoid bad circumstances or pain. You think happiness (or any other good state of being) comes with conditions. You live your life chasing after the so-called sources of happiness. You feel you have to fight to obtain from insufficient resources. And, you feel you have to struggle to sustain Life.

Basically, you have the illusion of insufficiency. As this illusion becomes real, fear creeps in. It becomes the issue of your heart and soon manifests into your reality. You will re-experience the circumstances of needing, over and over again. You will be trapped this illusion and never walk in Liberty.

Consequently, this illusion leads not just to competition between humankind, but also cruelty, oppression, prosecutions, and great depression. Because when having enough to share, you would not need to destroy others to be sufficient. You would not fight to get resources. Because when all are sufficient, all issues are solved.

The Truth About Your All Sufficiency

So, replace God with the Life here. Keep in mind that the same principle applies to you. You are granted life by Life.

If Life needs some things to produce its desire results, where does it get it? Isn’t Life the Alpha through the Omega? Is there anything existing outside of Life? Isn’t Life the ultimate Creator of all things? Isn’t Life all and in all? Is there anything that’s not of Life?

So your Life doesn’t need certain results. Other than what’s happening, your Life doesn’t ‘need’ anything else to happen. Your Life is the result. “It is finished.” Every moment of your life is at its perfection, just like every season, and every time and purpose under Heaven.

So whenever you feel like you ‘must have’ something. Ask yourself, why do you have to have it? Then, you will realize you never really need anything. All these needs are illusions you create. You don’t even need air - you will realize that at death, as your spirit lives on.

The truth is you can’t not live. You are created by Life, and Life can only produce Life. As the image and likeness of God, your ‘Life’ is guaranteed. God has given all of us ‘Eternal Life’ and never to take it away. If you will always live, what do you ‘need’ to live?

You have Eternity to have all that you thought you lost, to experience all that you thought you missed. You can never lose anything, as Life will continuously give you great opportunities to grow and expand, forever. Life itself is all sufficient on its own. You do not need anything to exist.

The Truth is all that you think you need, you already have within you because you are created in the image and the likeness of El Shaddai (The All-Sufficient One).


The Purpose For The Illusion Of Insufficiency   

The Purpose of the Illusion of Insufficiency is to experience the All-Sufficient One within you. So at first, you must be placed in the illusion of insufficiency. Then from there, you could bring forth all that you needed, to truly experience what’s like to be all sufficient.

In the Garden of Eden, they had it all. But they didn’t know it. They experienced Eternal Life, but it didn’t mean anything. They had never experienced otherwise. They couldn’t have any deeper understanding of it. The Garden of Eden is to express a great Truth: That when you have it all, and don’t realize it, you have nothing.

Insufficiency was originally meant to be a blessing. Through it, you get to experience the all-sufficiency. However, you still need to step out of this illusion – regard it as an illusion, and depart from it. Then, you can truly profit from such blessed experience.

The Ways To Step Out And Profit From The Illusion Of Insufficiency

Here is another way to help you to see through the illusion of insufficiency. Is there anything you feel like you must have? Well, you don’t have it now, and you are still alive. So what makes you think you must have it? This is the key question to break all fear. This is the key to the Kingdom of God.

You may still fear when facing the loss of your body, your family, and your surroundings. To overcome such fear is to detach from those attachments or needs. Most people wait until death to realize this. However, you can do this while alive. Then, you can dominate your circumstances while others are dominated by their circumstances.

Here is the way to step out of this illusion: Whenever you see any lack in others, go fill it. For it is where the illusion exists: outside of you.

If they lack food, feed them. If they lack clothing, clothe them. If they lack shelter, shelter them. Through doing these things, you will find that you can never run out.

No matter how little you have, you can always find someone who has less. Find someone and bless them from the midst of your abundance.

Don’t seek to be the receiver of things. Be the source of things. Whatever you desire to have, help others to have. Whatever you want to experience, help others to experience. When you do this, you’ll remember, that you have always had those things.

This is why we “Treat others the way we want to be treated.”
So don’t ask around, what do we have to eat? What do we have to drink? Look at the birds in the air. They neither sow, or reap, or gather into barns. Yet, they have enough to eat. Which of you here who are constantly in wanting can add anything to your life?

Also, don’t ask what do we have to wear?  Think of the lilies in the field, how they grow. They don’t labor or spin. But I tell you, even the finest clothing of Solomon cannot compare to these lilies.

So, seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness, and all these things are added unto you.

However, how are you to seek the Kingdom? It’s by giving others the Kingdom. It’s by becoming the Kingdom yourself, where others can find its shelter and its strength. It’s by handing out the Kingdom and its blessing. Because whatever you give, you become.

Remember this always: Whatever you give, you become.
