End of Times Matthew 24:45-47

45 Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?

Ask yourself: who is in charge of all of God’s stuff, us or Jesus? Jesus is the Head right, He is the Shepherd, He is the Lord of Lord's, He is the Master, He is the Vine, He is the King of Kings, and He is the Alpha and Omega. The Truth is also that we are now one with Jesus, the One Who is in charge of everything, amen!

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning [the relation of] Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:31-32

At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and I [am] in you. John 14:20

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11

But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:17

Our Father has placed Jesus in charge of everything and our Father has also made us one with Jesus. So the glorious Truth is that we cannot help but to be used by our Father to give food and supplies during the time of need of the last days. Jesus will cause us to be faithful in this act of love, Hebrews 12:2. The Holy Spirit will cause us to be wise to do it, 1 John 2:27. Jesus will Shepherd us to give to those who hate us and who are despitefully using us, Hebrews 13:20. 

46 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.

We will be found giving to those who hate us and who are in need because our Groom will insure that we are. In Christ we are always blessed beyond expression, 1 Peter 3:14. Jesus always causes us, His Bride, to be more then conquerors. 

47 I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

Jesus will insure that we are one with Him in all of His Authority.

And You have made them a kingdom (royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth! Revelation 5:10

I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: John 17:22

You Want Rewarded?

Thus, whenever you give to the poor, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets like to do, that they may be recognized and honored and praised by men. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already. But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, So that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:2-4

Our Father wants us to be rewarded and well taken care of, Philippians 4:19. He wants this for us now on this earth as well as in eternity. This is why He repeatedly tells us how He causes us to be. The first Truth to being rewarded is having faith that it is always our Father in us causing us to give, John 15:5. We reap what our Father has us sow! It is always His grace and His provision working through us that allows us to care about the needs of others. We are never left alone by our Father to give anything on our own. Faith with this Truth comes for us by Jesus Authoring and Finishing it through us, Hebrews 12:2. If we believe that we are the ones acting on our own to give, we will always brag about it. But because it is our Father’s abilities using us and causing us to give, we can keep silent about it and thus be rewarded openly. We now have the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. So we think and act as Jesus acts and Jesus always acknowledges that it is our Father working through Him, John 14:10.

We are the very body of Christ, we are flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone, Ephesians 5:30. He causes us to give to those who we can receive nothing back from. He causes us to give to the poor, visit the elderly, clothe the naked, and take care of the orphans. Jesus insures that we are blessed and rewarded and He also causes us to not talk about it and bring the attention to us. Jesus is always greater in us then anything that is in this world, 1 John 4:4. We cannot help but be rewarded because we are one with Jesus. We have been chosen to be blessed just as our Head is blessed. We give and never talk about it and our Father blesses us by causing us to give even more. 

We Are Perfectly Blessed To Be Perfectly Holy

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Ephesians 1:3-4

Our Father has held absolutely nothing back from us. We have been blessed with every blessing that He has. Everything that makes our Father God, has been given to us. Our Father gave everything to Jesus and then He made us one with Him, so that we too could have it all. 

Our Father chose for us to have all of His faith, all of His peace, all of His joy, all love, all glory, all wisdom, all knowledge, all forgiveness, all power, all hope, and all of His compassion. We are one with all of these things and everything else that our Father has right now. The Truth is that there is no waiting on all of these spiritual things. We have been blessed with all of them right now. Faith come from hearing this Truth and this Truth is what sets us free!

So many times a person will say, "yeah but that was Jesus, that is why He could do that" This belief is flat out wrong. The Truth is that we have everything and are one with everything that Jesus has and is. There is nothing that made Jesus Lord that our Father has not imparted to us. Our Father has held nothing back form us. He has made us one with all that He has right now, Galatians 2:20. And He has done this so that we can be just as perfect as Jesus is, Matthew 5:48. We have been born again into perfection through the grace of our Father. It's all a gift. It's all unearned and it's all operating in us right now. 

We are right now just as Holy and Blameless as Jesus. This is why our Father can use us right now just as powerfully as He uses Jesus, John 14:12. Christians are perfect because we have been chosen by God to be perfect. He has forgiven us all of our trespasses and in the process of His grace He has made us perfect as well. No in the power of our Father's might we go and serve the world, just as gloriously and victoriously as our Head, Jesus, serves the world! 

Prosperous For Every Occasion

And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. 2 Corinthians 9:8

I want you to think for a moment about having all of the money in the world, every last cent of it, all of the worlds filthy lucre is yours. (I say that tongue and cheek) You would absolutely be self sufficient and you would have an overwhelming abundance, but even with all of it, could you be charitable for every good work? No, but our Father says that He is able to make us sufficient, with abundance, for every good work. How?

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]-- Ephesians 3:20

Far too often we look to money or possessions as the resource for our giving, but these earthly things are not enough to cover being charitable unto every good work. Possessions are insufficient for such a task. And during the Great Tribulation we will not even have any earthly possessions, yet Jesus tells us that we will be blessed because we will be used by our Father to give to those in need, Matthew 24:44-46.

To be charitable for every good work, we must look to the power of our Father to be at work within us. Our Father’s power turns water to wine, John 2. His power feeds thousands of people with only some scraps of food, Matthew 14:16-19. When our Father works through us the dead are raised, the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk, the lost are saved and it is all done without earthly possessions. To be the greatest in Heaven we must be the worlds biggest servants, Matthew 23:11. To be the biggest servant requires our Father’s power to be the force that is working through us.

So we need to stop looking for earthly possessions to be the power of our charity and we need to look to our Father’s power. Only through His grace can we be charitable in every good work. Desire to be the greatest, so desire that without money you are used by our Father, Who is God, to bless every need that the world has.

Richly Enjoying Christ

"Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy," 1 Timothy 6:17

Our Father has given us richly all things to enjoy. Look at what our He said to us: “all things to enjoy.” Our Father has given all things that pertain to life and godliness and He has not just given us enough to get by; all Father has richly bestowed them all on us. Our Father has given us all of Himself, what more do we need? Our Father will keep us unto salvation and He will keep us unto eternal life. Our Father has richly given us all of His Holy Spirit, so that we might be filled with the fullness of God and so that we can know all things. We have been richly given the spotless Blood of Christ, which has totally redeemed and sanctified us. All of this has been given freely and richly to us, and now through Christ we are partakers of our Fathers Divine nature! Through the love and power of Christ we have escaped the corruption of this world. God gave us richly all of His things to enjoy, now honestly ask yourself this: is the Church richly enjoying them? Are you enjoying them? Faith comes from hearing the Truth that sets us free!

Everyday we need to hear this Truth: that our Father loved us so much, He loves you so much, that He did something to insure that we would spend eternity with Him. And that eternity began the day that you were called and chosen by Him and empowered to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Once you have truly been empowered by the Holy Spirit to say, "yes I believe and trust in Jesus as Lord," our Father will richly keep you! From that very moment God will richly give you all things to enjoy! It’s born into us to have a spirit and a mind that takes no thought for the flesh and sin, because through Christ we are righteousness minded, not sin conscious. Through Christ we follow after the Spirit and are no longer carnal minded which is death, we follow after the Truth which is life and peace. The Blood of Jesus is bigger than we are, it has provided us access to the very Divine nature of our Father, it allows us to live for God as Jesus lives for God, Romans 6:5-11.

Our Father knows our needs and He knows the weakness of the flesh and He took care of all of it. Satan wants us to stay in condemnation, he will say that our flesh is evil; our flesh is weak, our flesh, our flesh. But we know the Truth that Jesus has washed our bodies with pure water. We know that our Father is our Shepherd. We know that Jesus is our Head, that God is our Gardener, and that He will keep us through the power of His Spirit that is within us, so that we may be given all things by Him to richly enjoy! And our weak flesh can't do anything to stop the power and love of our Father to work through us to further His Kingdom, of which we are part of! When we are weak, our Father is strong! Our flesh has been quickened together with Christ by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. Cast the burden of your flesh onto God and enter freely into His rest; our Father has given His peace to you to richly enjoy! Through Christ we have been richly given faith to enjoy, love, peace, joy, discernment, hope, forgiveness, miracles, healings, needs, wants, knowledge, wisdom, and most importantly Christ to richly enjoy!

We Are Blessed With All Spiritual Blessings So That We May Be Perfect

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:" Ephesians 1:3-4

Our Father has blessed us with how many spiritual blessings? Our Father has blessed us with all of His blessings and He has done it so that we can be holy and without blame! And where do we have all of these spiritual blessings, in Christ? And where are we now? "At that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." John 14:20

We were chosen by God in Christ before this earth was even made! Everything Jesus has, we have, we are joint-heirs with Him, and as God proclaims, “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6 We are in Jesus right now and we have been raised up to sit with Him in Heavenly places, so that all, each and every, spiritual blessing is ours right now! There is nothing that Jesus has been given by God that we have not become one with through Him. “For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Ephesians 5:30

A-men we have been given it all by our Father. We haven’t been given just some of our Fathers blessings, we aren’t just partially filled with some of God’s blessings, through Christ we are one with all of them. The glorious Truth that has set us free is that God has given us all of His blessings. Shout it out loud, "I have been given all spiritual blessings by God Himself!"

So why has our Father not limited our blessings? Why has He given us all spiritual blessings? Well, just so that we can be holy and without blame of course! I hope you are not getting tired of hearing that we are holy, that we are perfect, righteous, sanctified, glorified, and joint-heirs through Christ, because we have so many more postings of scriptural Truth's from our Father that say we are. We will study every one too. No one will be able to say that we base our faith on a few verses and no one will be able to say we are taking these verses out of context.

We absolutely and positively have to lay the foundation of the gifts that have been freely given us because we have been chosen by God. Why? Because our Father wants us to have it all and the world so desperately needs us to be as God is on this earth. Let’s face it religion has failed. Abortion is accepted, we can’t talk about the Word of God in schools, divorce, sickness, homosexuality, and fear are wide spread, and how many different churches are there anyway? The world needs us to be what and who these verses proclaim we are in Christ, and with God, we can’t help but be! And before Jesus returns we will be! “That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27

Through Christ We Trust In Our Father Like Little Kids

“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:3

Think for a minute about a young child. Kids don’t take thought for paying a mortgage. They don’t take thought for utility bills, and they don’t worry about groceries. They don’t worry or take thought about these things because they are standing fast in their parents’ provisions. This is exactly how Jesus said we are to be and He said that we have to be.

Through Christ we are converted into new creatures and through Christ we enter into our Father's rest. The power and freedom of our salvation empowers us to be as little children. Jesus allows us to dance like a child, to love to be around people like a child, to play like a child, and to be accepting like a child; this is the peace of Jesus that passes all understanding. My two kids and all the neighborhood kids have such a blast. They just come over, who cares if they are dirty and have on old clothes, there are boys and girls, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, and Indian, they laugh, they play, they rejoice, it’s awesome. And unless we are converted through Christ and become as these little children are, we shall never enter into the Kingdom of Heaven!

Look in the Gospels at how Jesus lived. He talked in riddles or parables. He loved to be around people: young and old, rich and poor, male and female, sick and well! Kids were around Jesus so much that the adults rebuked them and then Jesus rebuked the adults! Jesus’ earthly ministry was for the Jews, Gentiles were to receive it after His death, yet when He came upon a non-Jew who needed help, He helped them as well! Jesus loved to cause trouble by going against the establishment and His first miracle was turning water to wine at a party! When someone would trouble Jesus, He would moan or cry out, “how long do I have to be with you?” Jesus’ life kind of sounds like a child’s life doesn’t it?

When Beth and I first moved into our sub-division, we had moved in from the country, all of the neighborhood kids just gravitated towards us. If I was lying in the hammock they would just run and jump right on in, if I was shooting hoops they just joined in. I was uncomfortable with this at first, I had never experienced anything like it. But then God said to me, relax, kids loved to be around Jesus as well, Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18.

God is the best parent of all, He has all, He is in all, He loves us just like He loves Jesus, and He doesn’t respect any of His kids over another. Because our Father is Who He is, we are able to be like a little child with Him. Our Father began to use these little children around me to reveal to me just what Jesus was teaching us in the Sermon on the Mount. I clearly saw that when children have strong loving parents, they just naturally go into the world and take no thought for their needs. There is just an outright confidence in their parents taking care of everything! We are now born again of God Himself and we now have all of God’s strength and might working through us. Our Father is the Creator of everything and through His Anointing we are strong in all of the power of His might and we too are able to take no thought for our own lives. God knows that we have needs and He has provided for all of them, according to His riches and glory! If we look at the Lilies in the field, we can see just how magnificently our Father will provide for us! Children don’t lay up money for themselves, they get money and they want to spend it. If a friend needs a dollar for an ice cream cone, they just give it, or come and ask their mom or dad for it. They do this because they are confident in their parents provision, through personal experience, and they are taking no thought for their lives, they just know that dad and mom are providing, that is the rest that we enjoy in our Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We Are Holy And Blameless In Christ

"According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:" Ephesians 1:4

We have studied together so many times that our Father boldly proclaims that through the power of Christ we have been glorified!

“And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One.” John 17:22

We have seen in the Word of God that we are perfect through our oneness with Christ. “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23

We have seen that all things are now new for us. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

And here in Ephesians 1 we see that our Father has chosen us and that we are holy and without blame before Him. God’s Truths are awesome, plain and simply awesome! The Blood of Christ is working so  strongly for us, no work can justify what the Blood of Christ, shed on the cross, has so freely bestowed upon us. The Holy Spirit that is within us will give us the strength and confidence in the Truth that through Christ we are living a life without any blame!

We tend to talk about this lifestyle of perfection and blamelessness in the future tense, when we are in Heaven, but the Truth that will set us free is that our Father is more than willing and able to cause us to live this way right now! We can never earn this own our own, through our own efforts, but through Christ we freely have it. It’s an easy yoke to be borne, because we have been empowered to simply look unto Jesus to Author and Finish our faith! Through Christ we stand before our Father blameless, apart from any work, with free and complete redemption through the power of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Our Father chose to have us because He is able and willing to do these glorious things through us! Our Father knew the way to make us glorious and holy, and our Father gave us the way, the Light, and the Truth, and Jesus is the only way!

"Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

God's Blessings Overtake Us

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall cause thy enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face; they shall come at the one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and He shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The Lord shall establish thee a holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in His ways. And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of they cattle, in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe to do them:" Deuteronomy 28:2-13

In these verses Moses was talking to the children of Israel and he was telling them that if they followed the Law of God, then all of these blessing of God would come upon them and overtake them! Now here is the really cool part for us today.

“So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met within us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit.] Romans 8:4 Amplified Bible

Everything that our Father required to have all of His blessings overtake the children of Israel have now been fully met for us by Jesus. Jesus was successful so that we may now have all of God’s blessings in abundance! Here is the really important Truth about our abundance in Christ: not only can we can have all of these blessing in abundance because of Jesus, but we have them just like Jesus has them! Jesus said in John 17: 22, that He gave us the exact same glory that He has, and our righteousness is now of Him, Philippians 3:9. Jesus said that He would send the Holy Ghost, so that the Holy Ghost could take everything that Jesus has, and give it to us, John 16:13-16. We have an abundant life and our abundance is directly from our Father, and our Father loves us just as He loves Jesus. Our Father's abundance overtakes us, and praise God we don’t have to take thought for it, Matthew 6:25!

Through Christ We Now Have It All

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:" Ephesians 1:3-4

The Truth is that through Christ we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings. There is nothing that our Father has that has been withheld from us! We now have and are one with the fullness of God. He has given us all of Himself, just as He gave Jesus all of Himself! We have all of our Father's love, all of His Spirit, all of His gifts, all of His power, all of His Anointing, and all of His blessings. We now have all of our Father's blessings, praise God we have all of them, nothing has been withheld from us. The Light has driven out all of the darkness from us and through Christ we are now holy and without blame!

We now have the strength of Jesus and there is nothing that can come between God and His love for us! Our Father can now do all things through us and He can now use every spiritual force that He possesses through us. The weak have become strong in Christ. We are now strong through the Anointing of the Living God! There are no limits for our Father with us any longer; the power of His Anointing has strengthened us so that we can be fully used by Him! The least in our Father's Kingdom, the Kingdom of the saved, is stronger than the greatest of the Old Covenant! Sin prevented God from fully indwelling King David, Daniel, John the Baptist, Elijah, or Moses. Yet even with their limitations our Father was able to do mighty and miraculous works with them. Our Father is not limited by our weaknesses any longer. He has strengthened us and now He has millions of us, all strengthened with the power that Jesus has, God’s very Own Anointing, to work through! Our Father can now work through the least one of us, greater than He ever worked through the strongest that we read about in the Old Testament! Every spiritual blessing, ever spiritual force that our Father has, is fully available through the least one of us who has truly been empowered to accept Jesus as Lord!

God Abounds His Grace Towards Us

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” 2 Corinthians 9:8

Our Father will always make all of His grace abound towards us, so that in every situation we will always be fully sufficient to be used by Him! Hallelujah that is great! God teaches us that we will never be put in a situation that He is unable to cause us to handle.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

It doesn’t matter how mature or immature that we are in Christ, we will never fail. Because there is now no situation or temptation that we will ever experience that can overcome the abounding grace of our Father that is working through us. We now are able to have all joy and peace in believing God’s complete Truth’s, regardless of our maturity level. Because we always have our Father, Who is God, right here with us abounding our strength, causing us to abundantly exercise His virtue, ever increasing our knowledge, and abundantly keeping us! Jesus came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly and our Father’s grace is the instrument of that abundance! And as our Father abounds His grace towards us, so that we will always have all sufficiency in all things, so that in every situation we will abound in His good works, we will have peace, joy, and pleasure afforded to us! Through Christ we are saved to the uttermost and the Truth of God’s grace has set us free!

We Now Have The Good Shepherd

“I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11

“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” 1 Peter 2:25

Have you ever heard a sermon that goes something like this? Our Father has a blessing for us and He is waiting for us and asking why don’t we come and get it? Why don’t we come into the Throne Room? Why don’t we enter the Holy of Holies? Why don’t we accept our healing? Why don’t we do this or that, so that God can pour out His blessings upon us?

Does anyone ever ask the sheep why they don’t just go over that hill to the meadow with the good pasture, instead of hanging out in the dirt? Or do we ask them why don’t they just go through the gate to the calm stream, so that they may drink the fresh, clear, and cool water? Absolutely not! The sheep have a shepherd and the shepherd leads them to these places of abundance! The Shepherd insures that they get there and he insures that they are protected as he leads them there. And praise God we now have the Good Shepherd, Who not only gave His life for us, but Who now ever lives to intercede for us, so that we might be saved to the uttermost, as we have life and have it more abundantly, Hebrews 7:25 Amplified; John 10:10.

We are never left alone to find the abundance of our Father through our own efforts. Our Father is never asking us why we don’t come in to receive His blessings, because He is always leading us into His greatness! God knew who and what we were, so He gave us Jesus and Jesus leads us into the abundance of Him. Jesus eternally leads us in the paths of righteousness for His Names sake! We now have the very peace of Jesus that passes all understanding because we have been empowered to know the Truth that has set us free. The Truth is we now have Jesus to Shepherd us into enjoying and living in the fullness and abundant blessings of God Himself! If we need to go anywhere to get the blessings of our Father, Jesus is the One Who is shepherding us there! A-men!

We are eternally blessed in the power of His might and because the righteous requirements of the law are fully met within us by the Blood of Jesus, the abundant blessings of our Father overtake us as Deuteronomy 28:2 proclaims they will!

Seek 1st His Kingdom

“But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

If we seek first the Kingdom of God and if we seek first His righteousness, then we shall receive from God all of the things that the gentiles of this world so desperately seek! “(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.” Matthew 6:32 Our Father knows that we need clothes, food, and housing and He has shown us the way to have Him add them all unto us!

Now our Father is God, and nothing that He ever does is done half way! So look at just how great the things of this earth are that He will provide for us. “And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?” Matthew 6:28-30 Our Father wants our clothes and the things that He adds unto us to be more beautiful than the lilies of the field! As God’s children we should have the best and because of Jesus we can have the best! But we are not to obtain these things as the world seeks to obtain them through toil and labor. All of these things are added unto us by seeking first God’s Kingdom and God’s righteousness! Actually we aren’t even take thought for having them, we are only to take thought for the Kingdom and for righteousness, and then all of these things, all of the things that the world seeks for, all of the things that they lie and cheat for, that they deceive for, and that they go to war for, will be added unto us.

And all of these things will be added unto us at a level that exceeds the level of possessions that God gave to Solomon! “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 The least in our Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, is greater than the greatest ever born of a woman! So the least in God’s Kingdom is greater than Solomon, and God wants to bless us with all of the things that the gentiles seek, and He wants to add them unto us at a level greater than what He added them unto Solomon!

Now here is the great Truth of our freedom concerning these things! “The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me]. I shall not lack. He makes me to lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him-not for my earning it, but] for His Name’s sake.” Psalm 23:1-3 Amplified Bible.

For us to have God add all things unto us, all of the things that the gentiles seek: clothes, food, housing, we need to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness! So what did our Father do for us, He gave us Jesus, and Jesus now leads us in the paths of righteousness, not because we have earned it, not because we have worked hard and took thought for it! No, Jesus did it for us freely for God’s Namesake! Jesus does leads us so that our Father will receive the praise and glory and so that we will live fully in the provisions of God! Jesus is our Shepherd and because of Him we do not want and we don’t want because through Jesus we have all things added unto us that pertain unto life and unto godliness! “According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” 2 Peter 1:3 God has called us unto glory and virtue and by His Divine power we are able seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness! Our Father wants the best for us, so He has given us His best to insure that it would be added unto us!

“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” 2 Corinthians 6:2 Today is the day that Jesus will lead us into the paths of righteousness and right now is the time that our Father's Divine power is giving us all things that pertain unto life and unto godliness! And today is the day that God is empowering us to live fully in His glory and in His virtue! The yoke is light and the burden is easy to be borne, because greater is He that is now within us than he that is in the world. We can now be used by our Father to do all things, and God is able to use us through the power of His Anointing, Christ, that strengthens us!

The world seeks out clothes, food, and houses by working hard to obtain them. The abundance of their hearts is how to get and keep these things. It’s very popular right now for preachers to preach that we have to sow seed to get them! Millions of our prayers ask for them. Yet Jesus said so simply that we are to take no thought for these things! Jesus proclaimed that through His power that is at work within us, these things would just be added unto us! Life is more than clothes and the body is so much more than food! God has called us unto His glory and unto His virtue and He has chosen us to be as He is, even while we are in this world! “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

I see so many Christians who are in need. So many listen to prosperity preachers and all they hear is give money and you will receive. Even though Jesus taught us that we are to consider the birds of the air, which do not have to sow to reap! “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” Matthew 6:26 Or they listen to preachers who tell them that we are to be poor because it is the will of God. Even though Jesus said that all of these things would be added unto us! The Truth will set us free and the Truth is that faith comes for us by hearing the Word of God. And the Word of our Father tells us that we are to be super blessed, blessed above Solomon, and that all of these blessings will be added unto us by God Himself as He leads us into first seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness!

Absolutely we will be used by God to sow into furthering the Gospel of His Kingdom and we will be used by God to give to meet the needs of the poor! But our provisions, that exceed the beauty of the lilies of the field, do not come unto us by these worldly actions! We are not sowing these things to reap them! We do not buy them from our Father! The blessings of God are added unto us and they are added unto us because Jesus is ever living to insure that we seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, so that we might be saved to the uttermost! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Father I ask that You empower all of us with the full knowledge of Your Truth! I ask that You lead us and guide us so that we all may be fully pleasing to You and that through Your Anointing that strengthens us, we may be able to glorify You by allowing You to add all things that pertain unto life and godliness unto us! Father the poverty message is a lie and the sow seed to receive message is a lie! Father I ask that You use all of us to sow the Word of Your Truth, the sower sows the Word, the Word that will set the world free! Father I ask that You are faithful to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and that there is no lie within us! Without Jesus we are nothing but sin, but through Him Father You have made us accepted! Today is the day that You have made Father and today You have given us Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Your will be done Father as You are glorified!

We Are Blessed With All Spiritual Blessings

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:" Ephesians 1:3-4

Our Father has blessed us with how many spiritual blessings? The glorious Truth is that He has blessed us with all blessings! Where do we have all of these spiritual blessings, in Christ? Where are we now? "At that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." John 14:20 We were chosen in Christ before this earth was even made! Everything Jesus has, we have, we are joint-heirs with Him, and as God proclaims, “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6 We are in Jesus right now and we have been raised up to sit with Him in Heavenly places, so all, each and every, spiritual blessings are ours right now!

A-men we have been given it all, not just some blessings, not partially, but God has given us all blessings. Shout it out loud, "I have been given all spiritual blessings by God Himself!" So why has God not limited our blessings? Why has He given us all spiritual blessings, well, just so that we can be holy and without blame of course! I hope you are not getting tired of hearing that we are holy, that we are perfect, righteous, sanctified, glorified, and joint-heirs, because we have 52 more posting's of scriptural truths from God that say we are. We will study every one too. No one will be able to say that we base our faith on a few verses and no one will be able to say we are taking these verses out of context.

We absolutely and positively have to lay the foundation of the gifts that have been freely given us. Why? Because our Father wants us to have it all and the world so desperately needs us to be as God is on this earth. Let’s face it religion has failed. Abortion is accepted, we can’t talk about the Word of God in schools, divorce, sickness, and fear are wide spread, and how many different churches are there anyway? The world needs us to be what and who these verses proclaim we are in Christ, and with God, we can’t help but be! And before Jesus returns we will be!

"Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that has this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure." 1 John 3:2-3 I use to think that this scripture meant that when Jesus returned we would become like Him, yet that is not what God said. Look at the scriptures that we have studied together so far. Jesus told us to be perfect even as God is perfect. We have studied that we are joint-heirs right now, we have learned that we are like Jesus on this earth, right now. The Truth is Jesus is going to return when the church is like Him; we will not become like Him when He returns, but He returns because we are like Him.

Look at John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father." Now for us to do the same works is almost unthinkable for so many of us at this time. But Jesus says that we will do greater works than He did. The only way that we can ever do greater works, and we will, not because I said it, but because Jesus said it, I just agree with it, is by us being like Him. Because when we are like Him, God will be able to work through us under the full power of the New Covenant! I have never heard of a person doing greater works than Jesus, but Jesus says that we will be used by God to perform them. So I believe that we will be like Him and then He will return. Jesus prayed that we would be one, even as He is one with God, so that the world will believe. Jesus is God, He was God when He was here, and now we are one with Him. Our Father came and joined with human flesh to birth Jesus from Mary, so if we can believe this, why should it be that He didn’t come and join with us right now? Jesus was perfect because He was born of God; we are perfect because we are born of God. We can be born again, because of Jesus sacrifice. The scriptures just keep saying it over and over, and faith comes from hearing the Words of God!

Pray about this. Even if you disagree that we have been given such glory, it should still be the goal of all believers to have our Father to work mightily through them. It is not arrogant to desire to be like Christ. "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." 1 John 2:6 It is a goal we can never achieve on our own, only our Father can conform us into the very image of Jesus. Only the Spirit can teach and guide us. Jesus told us to be perfect, so it is not wrong to desire it. Jesus is not coming back because of evil, He is coming back for a church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. Ephesians 5:26-27, "That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the Word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."

Isn't the salvation we have in Christ wonderful? I mean look at how our Father sees us. We are the Brides of Christ. We are sanctified, not by works, no way, we could never make it, we are set apart for His holy use, free from sin, and purified by God Himself. He wants us that way, so that we can be glorious and without spot or wrinkle. Our Father wants us this way so that we can be like Him, here on this earth, so that He can use us to do greater works than He used Jesus to do, so we can be His beautiful bride! A bride that has the glorious and freeing power of her groom being revealed in all of its glory through her. Take that satan, we know who we are, we know who He is, and we know what salvation is and what is has done for us, so satan get ye behind us in Jesus' Name!

Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends. Jesus laid His life down for us and it meant something! Allow God to be Who He is in you this day. Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us and God always causes us to triumph in Christ.
