“Priorities change as you change. Your life is as a wild flower that springs up in its season and shortly after fades away. All temporal living things created for existence upon the earth has its season; from the seed, to growth and maturity, and then gradually fades away because of corruption, and death.
The sons of God were created to be eternal, created for fellowship in love, unified in purpose and desire, with their Creator, and each other. With a loving and willing motivation to serve and bless others as participants of My eternal kingdom. In serving come love, joy, peace, and fulfillment.
Your present existence is a testing ground, not only for your benefit to grow spiritually, and to make choices to prepare you for eternity future; but also to be a testimony to all My creation in both heaven and earth, to display my grace, mercy, and justice, as a righteous judge. During this time of testing you eternal position of existence, authority and destiny will be determined.
To those who accept my love and redemption, they shall become my own son and daughters. But for those who rebel against Me and My kingdom ways and requirements, they will not be permitted to enter and become part of My kingdom, eternally separated from Me in eternal darkness.
So focus your attention on your eternal security, and the those things which are yet to come, and rid yourself from the obstacles which enslave your life, resources, and time of meaningless pursuits which accomplish nothing of eternal value, or lead toward confusion and even destruction.
Instead of devoting all your time toward temporal thing which don’t last, devote your time and effort into those things which will reap prosperity not only in this life but also the life to come. put your attention and effort into development and refinement of spiritual gifts, which will also reap the fruits of the spirit.
These will bring forth eternal blessings, great joy and peace to your soul. And as they are being developed, I will move into the fulfillment of destiny prepared for you, which will bring not only prosperity in this life, but also the life to come. Because, if you seek first My kingdom, and My righteous, then everything else will be added unto you. “
(1 Cor. 12:3-11) “So I want you to know how to discern what is truly from God: No one speaking by the Spirit of God can curse Jesus, and no one is able to say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service in the church, but it is the same Lord we are serving. There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another he gives the gift of special knowledge. The Spirit gives special faith to another, and to someone else he gives the power to heal the sick. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and to another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to know whether it is really the Spirit of God or another spirit that is speaking.
Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, and another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Holy Spirit who distributes these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.”
(1 Cor. 13:1-10) “If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn’t love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.”
(Gal. 5:16-26) “So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires.
These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict. But when you are directed by the Holy Spirit, you are no longer subject to the law. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another.”
