Seek first the kingdom of God
Quote from the words of Jesus
Matthew 6:24-34
¶ “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth (the world).
¶ For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they?
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?
You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying,
‘What will we eat?’ or
‘What will we drink?’ or
‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
¶ So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
{{{ Take always; Adapt your life to these:
A. You can not serve two masters, chose Christ Jesus OR wealth (Money, the world, evil)
B. Do not be worried about your life
C. As to what you will eat
D. Or what you will drink;
E. nor for your body, as to what you will put on
F. Are you not worth much more than birds whom God feeds or the lilies of the field
G. your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things
H. seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
I. and all these things will be added to you.
J. do not worry about tomorrow
K. tomorrow will care for itself.
L. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
These 12 items if you will apply your life to them, you will see great growth in your life.
1. Serve God, Christ Jesus
2. Give your cares to the Lord and quite worrying
3. Don’t be so concerned about what you will eat, drink or wear.
4. GOD considers you of more value then His other creations whom He takes care of.
5. GOD knows your needs
If you will place as your number one priority to be seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness
All your needs will be taken care of
And you will have no need to worry about tomorrow.
Let GOD take care of tomorrow.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His (Christ Jesus) kingdom and His (Christ Jesus) righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
1Peter 2:21-23
For you have been called for this purpose,
since Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;
and while being reviled,
He did not revile in return;
while suffering, He uttered no threats,
but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds, you were healed.
For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Are you seeking the righteousness of Christ Jesus?
Are you living out the examples Christ left us in the Bible?
Have you even searched out the examples????
No sin??
how is your language when being reviled do you use scornful or abusive language??
When being mistreated do you utter threats??
Are you entrusting yourself who judges righteously, GOD,
To Christ Jesus Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross??
Jesus gave up His life on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds, you were healed.
It is time to returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Think about it.
Are you serving Christ Jesus?
Are you living in Him?
Or are you living for self?
Are you living within the world’s ways?
The way designed by the evil one?
And yet aging we return to this.
It is your choice; To serve the Lord,
or not.

Do you have peace in your life?
Truly; do you have peace in your life??
If not, you might question who you are serving.
If not, you might want to question where your teasers are stored.
If not, you might consider humbling your self before the Lord Jesus,
Humbly repent of your disobedience of GOD’s word and His commandments, ask to be forgiven, turn from your worldly ways and turn to Christ Jesus, as your Lord, truly repent, turn from your sins, and turn to Jesus.
Or keep going the direction you are headed and go to hell; the choice is yours.
Jesus stands at the door knocking waiting for those who will answer, those who will except His free gift of salvation.
]The liar Saten stands saying come on let’s go play, lets go and make ourselves feel better, lets gather more wealth, lets gather more power, lets do what ever we want, you can still go to church but once you’re through playing church, let’s get back to pleasing our self.
Let’s go watch the ball game, let’s go plan our next business deal, lets get back to planning our life out the way we want it to be, look how wide of a path I give you to travel down, and how wide the gate is, it is wide so that all can enter in.
Take a look at those Christians they walk a narrow path and have to go through that little tiny small gate.
See how much more loving I am compared to GOD; I love you so I will let you do what ever you want the more you bless yourself the more I will bless you for.
So, store up for yourself money, store up for yourself things, don’t share with those in need only with those who view things the way we do.[
It is your choice to make,
Heaven, of hell.
Will you listen to our Lord Jesus or will you listen to satin and his demands? That choice is your will it be Heaven, of hell.
GOD will is that no one goes to hell but if that is your choice, He will not break your will, He will allow you to succeed.
John 3:16
¶ “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
1Peter 5:6-11
¶ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
A. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
Matthew 23:12
“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:9-14
¶ And He (Jesus) also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
‘I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
B. casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you
Matthew 6:25
¶ “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
C. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1Peter 1:12
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look.
D. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world
1Peter 1:13- 2:3
¶ Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,
but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written,
“YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”
¶ If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
¶ Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
“ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.”
And this is the word which was preached to you.
¶ Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
Matthew 24:42
¶ “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
James 4: 7-8
Submit therefore to God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Main take a way here:
God loves you, and has the best for you, it does not come with out a bit of trial and tribulation, the word is not going to like you at times. satin is looking to destroy anyone he can.
But we are told resist the devil, stop listening to his lies, and he will flee from you, Draw near to God, humble yourself and turn from sin in your life, stop trying to take part in the world and the things of this world, you can not serve two masters, stop being double minded.
Get off the fence, stop playing church, and find out who you are in Christ.
A quick not from GOD
Proverbs 3:1-7
¶ My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good repute
In the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
The choice is yours to make.
Don’t be deceived, you are making the choice every day,
And you will receive; ether the reward and blessing of hearing those word “enter in my good and faithful, or the most gut-wrenching words any one will ever hear “depart from Me for I never knew you.”
The choice is yours

HI;
Well, here we are aging, back to the same questions:
Why don’t you post every day?
Why aren’t you on social media?
These are the two most common questions asked
So here we go aging.
i m not on here to gain your approval.
i am not on here to gain a massive following.
i don’t care if you like me.
i am not seeking your approval.
My value, nor worth is determined by this sight nor how many people read what i post.
Your acceptance is not the acceptance i seek.
My value and worth come from the Christ the Lord,
my Lord and savior.
It is His and only His acceptance i desire.
This world is not my home, i seek after His Kingdom and His righteousness
What i post is what the Holy Spirit is in the proses of teaching me.
And just like a few days ago i posted
“Take the time to learn love, take the next 20 day and prates being patient with those you come in contact with each day.”
This was for me to learn, and i shared it with you because it is something we are all told to do,
“to Love one another”
the first thing we are told about love is that it is patient.
If you are not patient with those around you – you are not showing love.
Something the Holy Spirit reminded me of and i need to work on. And you probably do also.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“ ’YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
1Corithians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails"
Matthew 7:12
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Something the Holy Spirit got after me about and i have found to be very true in my life and in probably 90% of those who attend church; we hear a different teaching every week but never take the time to adapt our lives to the word of GOD, a bunch of head knowledge.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."
Matthew 7:13
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
My desire, my goal in this life is to find the narrow way, that leads to the small gate, so that when the time comes and i stand before Christ my Lord i will dot here the most dreadful words one could every hear
“depart from Me for I never knew you”
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
i have knocked, i have asked and i am seeking.
And in doing so the Holy Spirit has been faithfully teaching me,
directing the path i am walking.
And no, it is not a very popular path and at times I seem to drift but the Lord is faithful to direct me back.
And no i am not and do not think i am perfect,
i am human and at times fail,
one thing i have learned is that when i blow it, if in all sincerity, i humble myself, repent, and take it to the Lord He is faithful to forgive me.
One last thing before i go:
There are three more question that frequently pops up.
It goes along these lines.
Why don’t you learn grammar.?
Why don’t you ever capitalize i when your talking about yourself?
Haven’t you ever learned how to spell?
i never learned how to read until i was 16 or 17 So, i don’t aways spell things right, and grammar was neve high on my priority.
As far as i or I There is only one I, and that is not me, that would be the I am,
i never want to assume the place of God.
If it is that so important to use a capital i when speaking of one’s self, then why is it not that important to use a capital m when using the word me.
To me it is a sing of argents when someone has to state “I” when righting about one’s self.
I and I am are reserved for GOD, and i will stick to i for i am not God.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
i hope, no i pray that you will come on this journey down the narrow path to the small gate.
It is so freeing when you realize in Christ you are free.
And in following Christ and His word, bring much peace and joy.
Seek first the Kingdome of God and His righteousness and all this will be added unto you.
Hope this answers your questions,
i am not here to please you,
i am here to obey the Lord my GOD.
This world is not my home, my home is in heaven, for that is where my heart and treasures are.
As a believer in Christ Jesus my goal is to hear these words “Enter in My good and faithful servant”
The choice is yours; to ether fallow the Lord or follow after the world and its ways.
But as for me and my house we chose to follow after the Lord. Hope you will come along the journey.

This could be your last opportunity!
Slowly read, and take the time to understand this quote from C.S. Lewis
“God will invade.
But I wonder Whether people who ask Gog to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realize what it will be like when He does.
When that happens, it is the end of the world.
When the author walks onto the stage, the play is over.
God is going to invade, all right.
But what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream, and something else, something it never entered your head to conceive, comes crashing in?
Something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left.
For this time it will be God without disguise, something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature.
It will be too late then to choose your side.
There is no use saying you could choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up.
That will not be the time for choosing.
It will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not.
Now, today, this moment is our chance to choose the right side.
God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever.
We must take it or leave it.”
C.S. Lewis
{{{ Today, this very moment, could be your last opportunity to make a lasting chose, to except Christ.
For once Christ returns or you exhale your last breath here on earth, it will be too late to choose.
For you will have already chosen whether you believe it or not, for by not choosing you have already chosen. }}}
“He who has ears, let him hear.”

Matthew 13:3-9
And He (Jesus) spoke many things to them in parables, saying,
“Behold, the sower went out to sow;
and as he sowed,
some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.
Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.
And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
“He who has ears, let him hear.”
{{{ some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.
Some hear the word of GOD, the gospel of Jesus and what He has done for them, but without faith they do not hide it away in their heart the evil one comes and snitches it away.
They are the ones who can show up to church every Sunday hear the word of God but never except Christs free gift of love and forgiveness.
They also become like the ones we talked about yesterday the fool’s, do to their own lack of faith in what they have heard they end up saying “there is not God”
Others seed fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately the seeds sprang up, because they had no depth of in their faith, their hearts have not completely won the battle but their minds are week.
When they hear the word of GOD, become excited and somewhat stimulated by the word of God but not truly taking it to heart, in the excitement rush out with what they have heard not truly understanding, rush to the world and when the worldly attack them with words or actions they quickly retreat to their old ways.
Allowing the world to take what little fragment of faith they may have had away from them, for they had not taking their faith and deeply anker it in the Lord God.
Some in this group, in their attempt to show they have arrived and are now enlightened by the word of GOD try to show themselves as better than they truly are.
Not taking the time to be firmly planted in the word of GOD, to learn the heart of GOD, the heart of Jesus. Not taking the step of repentance; not repenting of their sins, nor their connection to this world.
They do not ask to be forgiven, not for Christ Jesus to be their Lord and savior, so that He will ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit to dwell in them to teach them and guide them through live.
As it were to be watered by the Holy Spirit.
With a heard heart; still having an eye on the hardships of this world being weighed down by worldly desires and pressers of worldly men and their ways, they become discouraged and wonder from the word of GOD.
Some of them even become teachers of the word of GOD, not for GOD’s glory but for their own.
It is heard to humble one’s self and except the love of Christ the Lord (Jesus) with a heart distracted by the things of this world.
Due to actually having a heard heart towards God, God’s word they never have the opportunity to grow.
And others seeds fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
These are the ones who have softened their hearts to GOD,
They hear the word and allow it to fill the holes in their life, to quench their thirst, to satisfy their hunger.
Those who by hearing the word of GOD, fully understand they are sinners, and that Christ Jesus is their redeemer, their provider, and their provision.
With a broken heart for the way they have lived (broken heart due to the understanding that they are sinners) they rush to Christ for forgiveness, for salvation, to be redeemed by Christ and reacquainted with their creator, to be given the Holy Spirit to teach and guild them in the ways of the Lord Jesus.
By accepting Jesus as their Lord, learning to adapt their lives to the will of GOD, their roods run deep, their foundation is in Christ Jesus and on the day of judgment they will receive a great reward for those who through their life in Christ, were drawn to the Lord.
Some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
It is your choice if you make in to the kingdom of GOD and it is your choice if you end up in hell. Those who make the choice to humble themselves repent of their sins ask for forgiveness and for Christ the Lord to be their Lord, loving Christ the Lord with all their heart mind and spirit, and then follow His teaching, He will go before Father God and ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to help direct our lives. God has said the “heart of man is evil”. But with the Holy Spirit directing us through life and the blood of Jesus covering us, as we humble ourselves before the Lord when we blow it, He is faithful to forgive us, so the Father sees us as clean, as holy.
If you truly understand what Christ the Lord (Jesus) has done for you through His crucifixion, if you soften and open your heart to Him, believing in Him call upon His name, and obeying His word, will not be an option for you, nor the way you live your life, you will live it for Him.
Matthew 10:37-39
¶ “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
Romans 8:5-17 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
¶ However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. ¶ So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
We are under obligation, not to live according to the flesh, but rather we are to put away the things of the flesh, for if you don’t you must die;
but if you are dead to the world’s ways, and are living by the Spirit of GOD putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Rather simple live by the world’s ways, thoughts and actions, motives, the worlds directions. You will die and spend eternity in hell.
If you will surrender to the ways, teaching and directions of the Lord, the Holy Spirit that is given by Father God you will live. For what has been done for us by Father God and His Son Jesus, we are obligated to them if we expect to receive from them.
If a man gave his life for you, so that you could continue living would you not feel obligated to Him???
If a man stood in court, in judgment, for you and paid all your debts so that you would not be through in to prison, would you refuse and be put to death, or would you except his act of kindness do that you may live?
And in excepting His gift would you not feel some sort of obligation to him???
Christ Jesus has done just that for you, and so much more.
The gift is there for you all you have to do is except it and then fulfill your part of the and fulfil your obligation to Christ.
He has died so that you paid all your debts, the least you can do for Him would be to surrender your life to Him and follow His commandments, obey the words of GOD.
Jesus is so eager for you to succeed that He even ask’s His Father to send to those who except His free gift of forgiveness and salvation a helper, to help us fulfill our obligation, and the Father sends the believer the Holy Spirit to dwell in them.
First step: soften your heart so that the word of GOD may be deeply planted
Second step: except the Lords free gift of salvation
Third step: walk away from the word’s ways, teachings, knowledge and worldly wisdom
Fourth step: listen to and obey (follow) the Holy Spirits directions
Fulfill your obligation to the one who freely gave Himself for you. Surrender to Him, Love Him, obey Him.
Just saying, clamming or calling on the name Jesus as some churches stat, does not save your life.
Calling yourself a Christian does not save your life.
Acting out the instructions in the bible does not save your life.
Matthew 7:21
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Do you obey the Lord?
Do you follow His commandments?
Do you love Him with all your heart?
Do you love Him with all your soul?
Do you love the Lord with all your mind?
Do you love your neighbor as you love yourself?
Or are you still holding on to pleasing and satisfying your own lust, our own desires, your one pleasure?
Still in love with the world?
the things of this world?
The ways of this world?
Ego, pride, greed, self-gratification still got a grip on you?
Still can’t surrender the thought, and actions of self?
If so, then quite playing Church, you are only fooling yourself.
GOD knows what is in the heart of a man.
And when the day of judgment comes,
it will be harder on you than if you hade never heard the truth,
for in you, in that moment of time, you will know that it was your choice to enter into hell,
rather than to enter into the Kingdome of GOD.
Take a honest look at your life, where does the greatest influence in your life come from.
Who are you listening to for direction, for wisdom, for knowledge?
who are you living for?
Matthew 6:22-24
"The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkmess.
If then the light thatis in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
No man can serve two masters; for ether he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and the world.
