Seek ye first...

[pickles]

I was praying, and asking God Our Father,
What can one say, to those that are suffering so much.
What can one say, to those that question, where are you?
Seeing the debates, the sorrows, the need of so many.
I expected to hear a word of gentle comfort, some answer that would bring the love of Jesus to the heart.
Instead, this was set before me.
Seek ye first, the kindom of God !!
Wow! not what I expected.
But then, it gave so much understanding.
Consider this, you invite some one into your home, tell them you love them.
And they say they will not believe in your love, they will not believe in you, untill you give them everything they want.
They tell you how you are supposed to love them.
They deny you, untill they recieve what they think is good.
There you are, with all these wonderful gifts to give them, wanting to give them all that is needed to be happy, strong, loved, and even have eternal life.
So much so that you gave your son to die for them.
But this person doesnt want you to do it the way you know will bring all that is good.
They just want what they think is best, and refuse to spend time with you untill you do.
Because of this, they cannot recieve the perfect gifts you have for them, in fact, they refuse to even look for your home, untill they get what they want.
Makes one think doesnt it ?

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God!

We know God Our Father loves us, we know He desires to give us all that is good and eternal.
Yet, we refuse to even find His kingdom, refuse to believe, untill we get what we want.
How can we recieve His perfect care, if we dont even know where to go?
How can we recieve His gifts, if we refuse them, for what we want.

It is in seeking God Our Father in Jesus Christ is Lord, that we find His kingdom.
Through the word, in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit!
It is in trusting all that is ones life to God, with praise and thanksgiving, that we recieve the perfect gifts that He has for us.
He already showed how great His love is in Jesus, by removing all that would keep us from Him.

Come closer to God, and He will come closer to you!
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God!
Actually, this is a word of loving care, and His gift.


In the love of Jesus.
God bless.

NOBODY IS RIGHTEOUS NOT ONE! Romans 3:10..... Romans 10:3 warns - Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

HERE is the deal, GOD wants to make YOU.. one with CHRIST..literally... to put YOUR SPIRIT into CHRISTS and to make you ONE with GOD .. hence, HEAVEN is within you and LIVING WATER will flow from within. BUT...

YOU MUST HATE THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IS IN IT AS JESUS SAID/

ASK, READ, REPENT and only seek heaven and do not love the world of anything in it, I promise you all.. that this is what the TRUE message of the Gospel IS because IF YOU JUST OPEN your eyes and heart and take these Scriptures for what they are and BOLDLY ASK GOD for heaven within you now, the Living Water, AND KEEP READING, fasting and pushing hard reading Matthew to Revelations and suffering like JESUS did with fasting and not sinning at ALL.. GOD will do IT!

• Hebrews 12:8 "If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons."

• John 8:34 - Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
• Hebrews 10:26 - If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
