In the end, all that we produce on our own, all that is man-made, will be shaken and removed from this earth. All we do that brings honor to us, will bear us no fruit in eternity. The Pharisees gave out of their excess, many wealthy individuals do the same today. Jesus wasn't impressed with this kind of giving. He was impressed with the widow who gave her all.
Notice Heb:12:2 and the nugget hidden therein - "And this Word, yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as OF THINGS THAT ARE MADE, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain". Satan's kingdom on earth, Babylon, is all predicated on man, on man's authority, on that which is MADE, that is, made by man, coming out of man's wisdom and strength. When the dust settles, all that remains will be that which is of God who alone is eternal, unmovable, unshakeable.
Is your faith in God or man? If your faith can be shaken, if it can be moved, if it can falter at the slightest adversity or shifting wind of doctrine by the sleight of men, then your faith is in man, not God himself, for faith in and of God is mighty, mountain moving faith. With this kind of faith, men laid low kingdoms, raised the dead, healed the sick and performed extraordinary signs and wonders and miracles. In short, nothing was impossible for them. All who declare independence from God (through their actions if not words) and rely on themselves or the arm of the flesh will be put far from Him because this is what they are declaring to God every day of their lives - we can do this without you! We choose to live now (and therefor forever) apart from you! At the final Judgment, God will simply give everyone what they've desired all along. Those who long to be with Him forever He will gather as a hen gathers her chicks. Those who desire to be apart from Him he will cast away from him forever. If we do not come out and be separate from Babylon, then we too will forever remain out of and separate from the New Jerusalem. The two cannot mix. We're either in the kingdom of light or we're forever in darkness. Make your choice if you haven't already.
If you desire God and his kingdom, cry out to him from your heart, as did the jailor in Acts 16 - "What must I do to be saved?" Like so many who only know Religion, he thought he could be saved by DOING SOMETHING> He thought he could be saved through his own works or efforts. Yet the only "work" God calls us to, in concern to our salvation, is to believe on him whom he sent, Jesus the Christ. Cry out to him now, from the depths of your heart, "God, oh Father, deliver me from Babylon, free me from all bondage and influence of the flesh, whether my own or anyone else's. Make me as free as you are, as free as the Holy Spirit, who follows and obeys you alone Father. Give me covering who care for me as you do for you, though you were the master of all, became the servant of all, therefore I know that leadership in my life is put there by you to serve me. Purge and cleanse me of all that is of Babylon. Amen.
This blog is my effort to share God's mind and most importantly, heart, as He shares them with me. I make a genuine effort to commune with Him daily and hear from Him. .Some poems are from Him to me, others from me to Him but all revelation shared is, I pray, from the Holy Spirit and not my carnal, soulish opinion. Please comment as you see fit. He is calling us all into His Holy of Holies.....let us all respond to his divine invitation for intimacy with a heart felt YES! SOS 2:11
