“God’s kingdom is opposite. To live by faith and not by sight is to trust in God’s faithfulness. To become a person of faith, who knows, and has an intimate relationship with Me in prayer. Who understands My teaching and instruction, through study and meditation of My words, inter-grading the content, and applying them into their lives.
For they know Me and love Me with their whole heart, putting Me and My kingdom first in their lives. They listen to Me with ears that hear, and with eyes that see, do what they see Me do. And when I give guidance and direction, they respond in obedience, desiring to better their lives through commitment, making changes, and allowing their lives to become a living testimony.
For obedience is better than sacrifice. And sin is in disobedience and not doing what you know misses the mark according to My words, and ways. The ways of the world focus on self, its greed and lusts, rather than the will of the Father.
But you are a new creation who lives by faith, not by sight. The chosen, which chooses to please the Father, rather than being self absorbed, with a preoccupation toward self-exaltation, as the Devil.
As you willing give Me all, I will give you all. Let Me become Lord of your life, which is holding back nothing and give me all. By doing this, it opens doors of unity and oneness with Me in mind and spirit. It allows My Spirit to have an open door of communion with your spirit, mind and soul. So that My teaching and instruction, guidance and direction, wisdom and understanding, purpose and destiny, will cause you to live according to My ways, in unity with Me in love, compassion, power and authority, to carry out the purpose I have for you.
Each day will be a new experience, and I will lead you in the way you should go. I will put people and circumstances in your path to help you, refine you, guide you. And to build up your faith, and our relationship of love and dependence, to daily walk according to My Spirit.
As I Am in you, and you in Me, we become one in purpose, with all power and authority to overcome every obstacle and circumstance. For I Am always with you and in you, giving you the mind of Christ, knowing that nothing is impossible, and your destiny is secure in Me.
For you are being trained for a higher calling in My kingdom to come. you are being refined into pure gold, sifted as wheat through tribulation, to get rid of the dross and the worthless chaff. This will draw you to My highest calling to become My chosen, My remnant, My bride, who is faithful and can be trusted in all things.
If you give up your life for My sake, you will find it, and the fullness of whom I Am will be yours, with the mind of Christ dominating your thinking and purpose. Let go and let Me have the reigns of your life, in every area. The world’s future seems grim, but your life in Me will be illumination and inspiration, and hope for the things to come. To live in the world, but not to be of the world, and to live in the realm of My eternal kingdom, which will continue through eternity.
You are near the beginning, having taken the first step through salvation and redemption. But the best is yet to come. the next phase will be commitment that leads to eternal security through relationship in Me, which will last forever. Which is not your will, but My will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven, bringing eternal peace and fulfillment in your life.
Because to be great in My kingdom, you must become the servant of all. Joy and peace is in serving and loving others, with the love I freely give to you.”
