Don't seek *GOD* where HE would NOT be! In other words, though *GOD* is EVER PRESENT, HE is NOT found in the deceptive inequities of the world, although, HE can penetrate those planes to LIFT you from them!!!Seek *GOD* not for riches, nor, things, but, for adding to the vault of goodness which already exists within you! Seek HIM for Wisdom, and, knowledge, and, to make straight your paths TO HIM! Seek HIM for comfort, security, encouragement, empowerment, and, that which will FURTHER your relationship with HIM! Seek HIS gifts, which are not always tangible, though, they ARE impressive! Seek HIM with your WHOLE heart, and, nothing of the world can come between HIM, and, you!!!
You don't yet realize the powers that reside within you, IN HIS name, but, that, also, is for good reason! Imagine if the faithless, weak, unlearned, and, irresponsible held the powers of the Universe in their hands, the damage their UNDERDEVELOPMENT could do! Imagine people with bad temperaments holding powers such as HIS, the destruction they could do! Imagine the undiscerning holding intense power to alter circumstances, the waste they would lay! So, you see, WHILE HE has GIVEN you powers, they are ONLY unleashed, THROUGH diligent, deliberate, sincere, honest, and, irrevocable FAITH; the kind of FAITH few in life EVER develop!!!
JESUS told us, "IF you had FAITH, the size of a mustard seed, you could say to that mountain, move, and, it would have to move." HOW POWERFUL is this? HE is telling us the power that lies within us, THROUGH the *GODHEAD*!!!
We have enough FAITH in SELVES to develop weapons of mass destruction, in which, no good is to be found, BUT, we do NOT have enough FAITH IN *GOD* to CARE to develop OURSELVES to the point of HIM ALLOWING us the USE of the POWERS HE inbred within us!!!!
Interesting! BUT, which PROVES the TRUE of the world, OVER the world!!!
FAITH is MORE than words, it IS A LIFESTYLE, BASED ON THE ENTIRETY of THE WORD OF *GOD*, whom IS THE WORD! It is ADAPTION TO HIS PRECEPTS, HIS LAWS, HIS INSTRUCTIONS, HIS WISDOM'S, HIS KNOWLEDGE, and, HIS WILL, BY LIVING/existing, IN the WHOLE of HIS WAYS, IN the example of CHRIST JESUS, not partially, not swaying, waning, or, contemplating, but, BY LIVING FULLY IN HIS WAYS!!!
AGAIN, EFFORT means MUCH to *GOD*! HE is ALL-KNOWING, therefore, KNOWS whom IS making progress to HIM! Will any of us reach PERFECTION in spiritual maturity? Probably not, but, that does not mean that we waste our time! For instance, AS you BECOME MORE obedient, and, COMPLY with HIS WAYS, HIS WILL begins to open up in you, and, your powers become awakened, perhaps minimally, but, will increase, as does your development!!!
People, this is HOW HE empowers us, BUT, ONLY IF we ARE, TRULY, returning/turning to HIM, WITH the FAITH of TOTAL BELIEF IN HIM, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS, HIS WORD! Now, HE KNOWS it takes time, which is unfortunate for most of us, because our youth is vainly wasted on, and, in the world, HOWEVER, we CAN make GREAT PROGRESS in the rest of our lives, BY CONSTANT, CONSISTENT DEVOURING of HIS WORD, and, BY MAKING HIS WORD AS ONE WITH OUR CONSCIOUSNESS, that our CHARACTER is NO LONGER INFLUENCED by the world, but, BY *GOD*, ALONE, WITH UNDERSTANDING that HIS WORD 'IS' INDEED, THE WAY!!!
The MORE you learn of HIM, the MORE you ALIGN to HIM, which is HOW it was meant to be! The MORE you become OF THE WORD, the MORE THE WORD is evidenced THROUGH YOU, YOUR ACTIONS, and, REACTIONS, WHICH 'IS' FAITH ALIVE, and, thus, OPENS UP TO the powers which exist in you, in the name of the *GODHEAD*!!!
Many people are lazy, many are unsure, many are defiant, many are standing at the fork between TRUTH, and, the world, but, one thing is FOR SURE, ONLY THE INFORMED, and, the FAITHFULLY TRUSTING TO THE INFORMATION, are empowered BY HIM!!!
STILL, HE grants the OPPORTUNITY to ALL, to come around! It is NOT HIS wish that we demise, HE LOVES US! HE wants for us to 'SEE', and, 'GET IT', which is ONLY DONE THROUGH THE WORD, not partially, not swaying, not waning, not half-heartedly, but, FULLY!!!
FAITH is beneficial, not merely, for the here, and, now, but, for when the last battle begins, as the principalities, and, opposition of *GOD*, and, mankind, WILL stage such events that the weak will be lost! This is VERY important to understand, as ONLY the kind of FAITH which becomes YOUR TRUTH, that kind OF *GOD*, can withstand what is to come, BEFORE *GOD* takes back HIS world, and, destroys all which is NOT of it!!!
HE has placed AMAZING gifts at our disposal, yet, we are not informed enough to discover them, let alone, discern them, or, their hiding place! What DOES it take for mankind to 'SEE'???
PRAISE *GOD*, for HE IS here, there, and, everywhere, lending us all empowerment, IF ONLY WE SEEK HIM THROUGH THE WORD!!! AMEN!!!
