Seeking Salvation....

When I put this design together I was thinking of the scripture, "Seek ye first the Kingdom and his righteousness and all things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

Do you know what is supposed to be added? The scripture above it refers to an answer to our spirit...he knows that we all have needs. So he says if you keep coming to me in all that you do...I will meet the need in expedience according to the journey. That means everything. Did you know that many of us would rather disobey God for our sexual needs than to obey and receive all things? Many of us will and have in the past disobeyed God for our instant monetary needs than obey to receive all things. Many of us refuse to tell spouses or people in relationships that we cannot do something to satisfy a idol with them and compromise ourselves to meet their standards. In as much, disobey God.  I ask the question, "did you know" because some people aren't even aware to the fact they do it let alone the reasons behind it. Did you know many of our disobediences to God is an attempt to please ourselves, someone else, so we can be accepted, or keep peace? Jesus said "I came not to bring peace, but a sword." I am not saying to fight or just be selfish, but the denial of this world draws the line of those of Christ and those who are children of hell. The integrity of holding your christian values resists the enemy from stripping away the strength of identity within them. If you can't say no the devil you give him room to do whatever. It's is better to be rejected for the name of Christ than anything else, infact Jesus said you're "Blessed" when it happens. -Well, there goes Dr.Phil

I was having a conversation with my wife one time and I explaining to her the differences between the lies of the world and the truth in Christ. I said, "It's hard trying to be accepted into a lie because; you would have to lie to yourself and change your identity to blend in with the lie, completely."I remember seeing many undercover cop movies, where they take on drug dealers to catch the bad guy. That's how most people are and some are called to be pastors, prophets, and teachers. Yet, they are not undercover to catch the enemy they are undercover doing the dirt and trying to avoid being spotted by the church, church members, and family. But, you can't fool God, Jonah. If you are a Christian, why lie and be at a club. Or is the club the truth about you and being a Christian is the lie? -I don't know what to say, yet the word of the Lord in these situations was this:1 Kings 19:20-- "Go back," Elijah replied. "What have I (God) done to you?"

Solomon, who was one of the richest and wisest man that ever lived called all that we can ever do under the sun, Vanity!. Watch this:Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem 2 " Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher;       " Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."        3 What profit has a man from all his labor       In which he toils under the sun?        4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;       But the earth abides forever.        5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,       And hastens to the place where it arose.        6 The wind goes toward the south,       And turns around to the north;       The wind whirls about continually,       And comes again on its circuit.        7 All the rivers run into the sea,       Yet the sea is not full;       To the place from which the rivers come,       There they return again.        8 All things are full of labor;       Man cannot express it.      The eye is not satisfied with seeing,       Nor the ear filled with hearing.        9 That which has been is what will be,       That which is done is what will be done,       And there is nothing new under the sun.        10 Is there anything of which it may be said,       " See, this is new"?       It has already been in ancient times before us.

Man cannot ever totally satisfy the needs of another person. The earth is not big enough to satisfy the greed of one man. Neither is time fast enough to bring to pass the wants of a rebellious and impatient person. So why try as if we are God to fulfill the expectations of all God's creation without God to help you fulfill your part with it it. The earth is not all to one person but to Christ and God, yet we share this entire Kingdom with all Christians as the body. Not specifically you. As a Christian, it's in my ability to pour out all the love God fills me with. Yet, if I keep pouring out without directing that person to the source(Jesus), or teach them how to get the source themselves through salvation and relationship. I'm trying to meet the need of a person from a human aspect of provision to the point I become the deity. That's not God. Furthermore, in the end I will sit in the judgment seat just like everyone else. So that mentality of trying to meet everyone's need outside of God is insane.

Well, what was added to Jesus? He denied his earthly riches; the book of first Corinthians says he did. He denied having an earthly wife, yet will receive the bride of church in the end. He denied sex; this is the life of abstinence and consecration. He never taught what he hadn't practiced so; he never even lusted after a woman with his eyes. In 33 yrs.He denied his own will, to fulfill the purpose he was appointed. How many different stories by so many so called theologians and authors about Jesus have we seen though? Some saying he was married. Some saying he had children. Some say he was Gay. I so disagree... let me try to explain it.

Do you remember what God said? "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son." (John 3:16) So if he so loved the world, he would give it all as a father would do to his kids. Right! So why would he deny us a way to come to him if he didn't love that in which he created? So if a son with the very image of God walked this earth yet, humbled himself in the flesh to give identity of the same struggles we face. In order to unveil the very image of him in us for us to understand we too can rise above in all. For what man means for evil God means for good and all love overcomes evil because, God is love (1 John 4:8). So if any love that exerts from us is Christ, then we overcome only by Christ. By the love and obedience to God we avail in all temptations and overcome just as Christ did.

All for the simple fact to discover how much we are loved by God when we our unveiled to our own perceptions of who we are in this world. And in the faithfulness of trusting him he unveils every wicked thing for you to say no and every good thing for you to become of. Then all of us by no means can ever deny the mercy of Christ in our ignorance nor the love of God in our rejections to his sovereignty. But submit our ambitions to the wisdom of his love and righteousness of his judgments. For Christ alone deserves all the glory, for a sinner such as us saved by grace.

So when people say he had this child. He was Gay, he was married. They still can't fathom the understanding of obeying authority for the love of someone else, the salvation of his father's children. God gave to us the testimony of a son who would deny all to seek his heart. He didn't have to fight, he didn't have to bite. He didn't go to divorce court....or sue someone in a quick rich scheme. He submitted to his fathers will in all things and in all things he was exalted above all. For all those who are looking for deliverance from the wicked one who chases after you with no regard for your life. Dont run. Dont fear. Submit to God, resist the devil...and he shall flee James 4:7. Seek the salvation of the lord whom shall set you free from all things.-RTW
