What if its me whose decieved? Ive looked, ive read, ive studied. Am i wrong. I want to go to the kingdom. Will i get there? I do not follow Gods law perfectly. I fall short. I see whats written. I try to obey. I do fall short. Dont know what to say. Dont understand everything. Only know i want to get to the kingdom. Id love to ask you all for answers but im sure we are all in the same boat.
I hope my boat dont sink
Remember that there is one needful thing.
Luke 10:38-42Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Deuteronomy 6:3-5Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: 5 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
If you want to follow Jesus (solitude in wilderness 40 days and 40 nights after baptism), His followers who walked with Him in the earthen vessels (wait for the promise of the Father), or Paul the apostle (fasted from sight, food, and drink)...they all waited for the Lord...separate.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
16 and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Chronicles 7:13-15Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
