Blueprints, The Judgement

Keys to victory

There are many blueprints in the Bible. There is one in Genesis chapter 1-2. The second blueprint is in Genesis 3, called the knowledge of good and evil. There is a third blueprint in Revelation chapter 22 called paradise.

The Book of Revelation was written to show Jesus’ servants things that shall come to pass. It is also called the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus is revealed as the Lamb of God. Jesus was given the blueprint for the end of this age known as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.” Revelation 5:1

This book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals is the blueprint that contains the judgment.

The Administrator

There have been many administrators throughout the Bible like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon. We are in the Church age in which Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith and he is a faithful High priest.

Revelation chapter 5 reveals him as the only one qualified to look on and open the final blueprint.

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.” Revelation 5:2-3 (KJV)

Jesus was the only one qualified to open and look at the book. He sacrificed everything to win our salvation. He gained the keys of death and hell. He defeated Satan and won our release from eternal damnation. In Revelation 19, He is seen on a white horse.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eye were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation 19:11-13 (KJV)

Man wants to have the final word, be the first to know about the latest developments, have the big business idea, and make the most money.

But what we are about to discover, the earth’s best, cannot measure up to Jesus Christ, our sacrifice. The greatest, wisest, and richest person cannot measure up to the king of kings and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ, the Word of God.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Revelation 5:5 (KJV)

The Age of Grace

The age of Grace is the goodness and mercy of God given to us simply because God loves. Your miracle, your answer, is the mercy of God. Jesus, the Word of God, manifested it. He healed, delivered, and saved. He gave the ultimate gift, eternal life. It is called eternal because it is infinite power. People relegate eternal life to the afterlife, but God gives it as a gift now.

The world is about to hit a concrete wall at a hundred miles an hour. The New Testament contains many blueprints. The problem, however, is that this age of the knowledge of good and evil has exploded with the arrival of AI. AI can generate information at amazing speed. We are told that information that would take millions of years to generate can not be done in 15 minutes.

I have an app on my phone called Smart News that tells me who killed someone from all over the world. The airwaves are saturated with the knowledge of good and evil news.

The system of man is governed by the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The system of man can only recognize good and evil. It doesn’t focus on God’s system and his solutions. For example, the mainstream news only focuses on lack, inflation, poverty, and corruption. It worships the rich and wealthy. They only showed the bad parts of Africa or Asia for the longest. The good thing about TicTock is we have seen how Asian people live. We were told that they eat cats and dogs. On the contrary, they are some of the most dedicated dog-loving people I have seen.

People are Stuck in quicksand

I am a fan of Star Trek, the original television series. One episode stands out: The Menagerie, part 1, which was broadcast on NBC in 1966, season 1, episodes 11 and 12. Captain Pike was imprisoned with a beautiful companion on a forbidden planet called Talso IV in this imaginary land. They were subjected to different scenarios to see how they would respond. This alien race was studying them. Their sense of reality was shaped by things that were not real. Captain Pike realized this and forced the Alien race to release them. Ultimately, The lady chosen to be a part of this experiment would not leave with Captain Pike because her true appearance had been horribly marred by an accident. The alien race was able to change her true appearance into a beautiful one. In Part Two of The Menagerie, Captain Pike is horribly disfigured, and Spock kidnaps him and returns to Talso IV to live in an imaginary world.

There is another movie similar to The Menagerie: The Matrix. In it, a system is wrapped around us that is not real but looks and feels real.

“And you he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked acording to the course of ths world, accoring to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.” Ephesians 2:1-3 (NKJV)

The Real World

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the AGES to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:4-8 (NKJV)

You once were dead, but by an act of God’s grace, which he gives as a gift, you have been made alive. When God raised Jesus from the dead, he raised and repositioned you back into the heavenly place where it all started, the Garden of Eden.

This is an offer because, as Jesus said in Revelation 3:20-22, he stands at the door of our hearts, knocks, and if we open up and let him in, he comes to fellowship with us.

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in. my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

The Blueprint

Let’s go back to Revelation chapter 5. The backdrop is the throne room before the throne of God and the holy angels. There is so much happening. But the short part is that the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, receives the blueprint.

“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.” Revelation 5:6-7 (KJV)

John describes the image of Jesus as the Lamb of God that had been slain. He has seven horns and seven eyes. John says the seven horns and eyes are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. The seven horns and eyes represent the fullness of power and the revelation of God’s grace that is being released in this age of grace.

The sad thing is that people are stuck in the menagerie, in the matrix, by choice. There are people who could be healed, saved, and delivered, but they chose Talso IV.

A New Song

Once Jesus received the blueprint, something changed!

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Too many believers are singing the songs of the world, the same old sorry sungs. God has redeemed us to our original position. In Adam’s original position, God said, have dominion over the earth, over everything that moves, crowds and creep upon it. Adam was absolutely a king over creation. Adam also served as a priest in the Garden of Eden, he offered sacrifices by arranging the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in presentational form. It was never God’s will for Adam to know neither good or evil. It was not God’s will them to have to get to know good or evil. They only had eyes for God, the fullness of his glory.

The wealth transference is coming! What the enemy has stolen will be returned sevenfold, Proverbs 6:31; James 5:1-8.

How

Psalms 105:37

“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.”

The God Factor

The God factor, he is the equalizer! Vengeance is mine says the Lord, I will repay. Leviticus 32:35 & Romans 12:19

Hebrews 10:30, “For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompence, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.”

The problem

People dont know what their rights, priveleges and inheritance as people of God. They dont understand cycles, generational growth or seed time harvest principles of which I have written many articles!

Solution

Israel went from a system of total freedom to a system governed by kings. The elders of Israel came to Samuel and said, “Give a man to fight our battles, to go before us.” They reject God from reigning over them.

Many people reading this article have sought men to meet their needs, and they will disappoint you. They will take your money.

But once you realize the gift of God, like the woman who had the issue of blood for 12 long years, who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and was made whole of her plague. Jesus said, ‘Woman thy faith made thee whole, go in peace and be whole of thy plague’ Mark 5:25-34

Look at 1 Peter 1:23-25 (KJV)

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which LIVETH and ABIDETH for ever. For ALL flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:23-25 (KJV)

The word of God lives and abides forever!

The Garden of Eden is a Blueprint Room

“…whose seed is in itself..” Genesis 1:11

Genesis chapters 1-3 contains the master blueprint. Seed is the vehicle God created to transfer life. The seed contains DNA, a blueprint for all forms (kinds) of life.

The Garden of Eden is the blueprint room. Adam and Eve ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They opened the door to the age in which we are now living.

Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden because they had access to the tree of life that gave them infinte life in a fallen state.

God set a placeholder and a guard over the Garden of Eden until it could be opened again. God set cherbims to offer worship and he set a flaming sword to guard the entrance.

Jesus, a faithful high priest

Jesus entered into the sanctuary that God pitched and not man, Hebrews 8:2 & Hebrews 9:23-24. He made an atonement for sin and ever lives to intercede for us. He offers a sacrifice of praise and worship from this position.

The blueprint room has been opened again

Ephesians 1:3 says we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. The heavenly place is the Garden of Eden. Jesus got the keys! He has opened the door. All of the spiritual forces of the Garden of Eden are now flowing!

Ezekiel 47:1-12

Ezekiel 47 contains a blueprint for the ministry age of God’s Holy Spirit. Notice the river, the trees, and the fruit! The fruit is for meat. It is provision! It is pro (for) the vision that is the original blueprint! The leaves contain medicine. It heals sores and bruises.

There is another blueprint in Revelation, chapter 22, which is a revelation of the original blueprint in Genesis chapters 1-2. We see the throne of God. We see the river of life flowing out of the throne of God and the Lamb of God. We see the tree of life. We are told the leaves are for the healing of the nations.

Jesus is the Second Adam

As such, he ministers the word through parables, a form of blueprints. The blueprints are going to tell you how the kingdom works. It is in blueprint form. If you need healing, deliverance, wisdom, or knowledge, it is in the Word of God.

In the forthcoming articles, I will point out these blueprints. Jesus said, the word will produce 30, 60 and 100-fold returns more than what was sown!

Key of Knowledge

“I have set an open door before you”

There is a tremendous push to reposition the economy of the United States. Many people are going to become victims because they are dependent on the system of man, and they don’t understand God’s system.

Jesus opens doors that no man can open and shut doors that no man shut. I have the keys to death and hell. I have the key of David, Revelation 3:7-8 (KJV)

Man strip away the key of knowledge

In Luke 11:52 Jesus said,

“Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”

I recently saw a well known pastor talk about how hard he had to work to get to success. He talked about sacrifices he had to make to achieve success in ministry. It sounds good but your hard work doesnt have anything to do with the blessings of God. For example,

In Deuteronomy 8, Moses told Israel not to forget God’s commands, judgments, and statutes. Moses says otherwise: when you have eaten and are full, you have built goodly houses, your herds and flocks are multiplied, your gold and silver are multiplied, and all you have is multiplied. Then, your heart becomes proud, and you forget who brought you out of Eygpt. 

Moses, says otherwise you will say, ‘my power and might have gained me this wealth (Deuteronomy 8:17)

Moses says in Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV)

“But you must remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today.” Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV)

Men will have you think that they possess some supernatural blessing or knowledge that nobody else has, and you need them to get this knowledge.

Non-negotiables

In the kingdom of God, There are many keys or what I believe are blueprints. For example,

-There are no common people in God’s kingdom, Acts 10:15. A voice from heaven told the apostle Peter not to call common what God has cleansed.

In the world’s system, people are classified based on income. Even in some church denominations, believers are classified as clergy and laymen.

John 1:12 says, But as many as received him, God gave authority, right and privelege to become children God.

And because you are children of God, you have become heirs of God and joined heirs with Jesus Christ,  Romans 8:15-17

-There are no elites in the kingdom of God. Everybody gets a white robe

“Then Peter began to speak, saying, Truthfully, I pereceive that God is no respector of persons. BUT IN EVERY NATION HE WHO FEARS HIM AND WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ACCEPTED BY HIM.” ACTS 10:34-35 (NKJV)

-God is rich to all who call upon his name

Romans 10:12, There is no difference between Jews and Greeks; God is rich unto all who call upon his name.

Go back to the original blueprint in Genesis chapters 1-3.

Ecclesiastes 2:26, The Gift of God

I spent ten years or more ministering the gospel in three facilities, the Wayne County Jail, Dickerson Detention Facility, and the Detroit Rescue Mission. It wasn’t hard to get people to pray the prayer of faith in Christ, to believe in salvation. Wayne County was a place where inmates were waiting for court cases. Dickerson Detention Facility was a minimum security prison where people were serving short prison sentences for things like drug offenses, traffic violations, theft, and carrying a concealed weapon. The Detroit Rescue Mission is a homeless shelter for people who were who had no place to call home.

The common issue among this population was a lack of financial support. They had no source of income. Some could not find jobs. They stole and stripped houses to put food on the table.

I had to try to help them see that God was their support and that he would meet their needs. Lots of times the inmates had grandmothers and parents praying for them. That one issue has been around from the beginning of time.

Poverty is a generational inheritance. If you as a born-again Holy Spirit-filled believer have never been taught that Jesus died you might have an inheritance, Acts 26:18. You modeled lack and dependency. They had no way of knowing that God is/was a provider.

A common complaint that I hear constantly, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. No matter how glorious the promise is or how faithful God is to his word, it is almost impossible to get people to believe God wants to prosper them and that he has already made provisions in place for them.

PRO-VISION

God already made provision for the vision. For example, God provides supernatural seed for the vision. He gave Adam and Eve dominion over the works of his hands. God set aside the seventh day of creation as a Sabbath. A day when he invited Adam to enjoy the bounty of the work of his hands. Yes, we know Adam messed up everything. But God never walked away from his original intent going as far as sending His Son to die on the cross to redeem man back to his original purpose. Now, here are a few things that God has provided:

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” James 2:5 (KJV)

People who read this promise, first don’t recognize that God is no respecter of persons. God is good to all. People don’t know the difference between a government and the kingdom of God. People are mentally stuck in the government of man and are unable to see the benefits and blessings of the kingdom of God. For example, the Kingdom of God is present with us every single day, functioning in the realities that affect our livelihood. Jesus put it this way if God provides for the lilies of the field, the fowls of the air, are you not of much more value?

When Israel came out of Egypt, God brought them out with silver and gold and not one feeble person among three million people. Psalms 105:37. God commanded the clouds to shade the people from the hot sun by day and he provided a fire to give light at night, Psalms 105:39. He gave them manna for their food and he gave them water out of a rock.

Psalms 103:1-5, He forgives all of our iniquities and heals ALL of our diseases. He redeems our life from destruction and he crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies. He satisfies the desires of the heart with good things and he renews our strength.

God executes righteousness for all who are oppressed

James 1:11, says the rich man is like a flower, he shall fade away in his ways.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are currupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of the sabaoth.” James 5:1-4

We are going to be recipients of the greatest transference of wealth the world has ever seen. Everything that Satan has stolen through fraud and deception is about to be restored sevenfold. And we might be right in the midst of that restoration. All of the forced labor in the fields of slavery is going to be released. The cries of the laborers have entered into the ears of the LORD of Hosts, the LORD OF ANGEL ARMIES.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

“God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation.”

Solomon calls this wealth transference vanity and vexation because he stole the people’s inheritance to finance his extravagant lifestyle through oppression and taxation, 1 Kings 12:4 & especially verses 16. This wealth transference is vanity and vexation to those who have stolen the wealth.

If believers all over the world could get a vision for wealth transference and begin to cry out for justice and judgment, we would see one of the greatest moves of God in our times.

Haggai 2:4-9

Yet now be strong, O Zerrubbel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Jishua, son oif Josedech, the gigh priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of the latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”

Again, what place is God talking about Mark 10, the hundredfold return; the first being last and the last being first.

Hebrews 8:1-6, Jesus is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty of the heavens. He is a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that God pitched and not man. Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry by which he the mediator of a better covenant was established on better promises.

ONCE MORE

God shook the earth in the days when he brought Israel out of Egypt. He revealed his glorious acts for all nations to see.

“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.” Psalms 105:37

We have come to God the judge of all

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Dee that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. WHEREFORE WE RECEIVING A KINGDOM WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED, LET US HAVE GRACE, WHEREBY WE MAY SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE AND GODLY FEAR: FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.” HEBREWS 12:24-29 (KJV)

We are witnessing judgments breaking forth in the earth. We are seeing destruction by fire. City systems are being shaken to the core.

I pray that the immigrants who came to the United States to seek a better life could recognize the promises that God extends to them. They can transform their lands and communities.

I pray that they can get a revelation of the true riches that God offers because it is not money, silver, and gold. It is eternal life, the breath of GOD. GOD TOOK THE RIVER OF LIFE AND PUT IT ON THE INSIDE OF YOU. JESUS CALLED RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS, JOHN 7:37-38.

IT IS THE WELL OF LIVING WATER THAT SATISFIES EVERY THIRST, JOHN 4:14

THIS RIVER IS THE PROMISE OF POWER, MIRACLE-WORKING POWER OF ACTS 1:8

THIS IS THE WATER THAT FLOWS OUT OF THE THRONE OF GOD, REVELATION 22:1

THIS IS THE SUBSTANCE THAT ENABLED JESUS TO OFFER HIMSELF AS A SACRIFICE.

“HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHO THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD, PURGE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD?” Hebrews 9:14 (KJV)

The Force of Life is a testimony in and of itself

What if the people fleeing from violence and oppression knew God because God says “…I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:24

The key issues are not about how much money you have. It is not about how much wisdom you have or how much influence to have! God offers eternal life. Jesus said, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy but I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10)

One final thought: If we believe the witness of man, the witness of God is greater! If I laid hands on a sick person and they were healed immediately, that is a witness of God’s power. Eternal life is a witness to the resurrected Christ!

“If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God which He has given concerning His Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this witness in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he does not believe the testimony that God gave about His Son. AND THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: that God has given us eternal life, and this LIFE is in His Son. WHOEVER HAS THE SON HAS LIFE, and whoever does not have the Son of God does not have LIFE.” 1 John 5:9-12 (NKJV)

What if those who feel stuck, and without hope, receive the gift of God, eternal life, the life of God!

The Spirit of Grace fulfilling covenant promises!

Grace & Peace

2 Timothy 3:1 Know this, there will be terrible times in the last days. The Lord Jesus is coming soon! Repent, believe in the gospel, and be born again!

The God Factor & The Oligarch

I have written a series of messages on the God Factor. The God Factor states that God rules in the affairs of men and that we should consult God before making decisions about tomorrow. James 4:13-17 (KJV)

“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: wherefore ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? it is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boasting: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:13-17 (KJV)

The Oligarchs

The Oligarch is defined as “a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.” The oligarchs are said to be in control of the office of the president of the United States. They brought the political party that is in office. That may be true but as far as the Child of God is concerned, we do not fear oligarchs, Black Rock, or any politicians or organization.

1 Peter 1:24-25, “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which we by the gospel is preached unto you.”The glory of man is like a flower.”

God is in Control

In Acts 1, the disciples asked Jesus, if the kingdom was going to be restored to Israel. Jesus said,

“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and seasons, which the Father hath put in his power. But ye shall receive power…”

The disciples asked Jesus after his resurrection, if God was going to restore authority and power of the governmental rule of his kingdom to Israel. Jesus said God alone reserves the right to determine the times and seasons of the nations. The last two-plus hundred years have been the age of capitalism and democracy. However, the most important thing that Jesus said is that we shall receive power to be my witness.

Power

We have received power to become sons of God

We have received power to be his witness, Acts 1:8, The children of God don’t know that this was a legal conferment of divine power, ability

We have received a kingdom that cannot be moved, children of God don’t know that this was a conferment of authority of government

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29 (KJV)

The Problem

People are too busy looking at what the oligarchs are doing and not paying enough attention to what God is doing. Our leaders are politically divided. They don’t know the difference between a kingdom and a government.

According to Daniel 4:17, God rules in the kingdom of men. According to Psalms 103:19, the kingdom of God rules over all. Luke 17:21, the kingdom of God is within you. And Luke 12:32, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. When it concerns daily needs, Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all those other things shall be added unto you.

Living Reality

The children of God don’t understand the reality of God’s provision is constant provision. For example, according to Psalms 105:37, “He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.” Can you imagine not one person out of three million people was sick, weak, or walking on a cane?

Psalms 103:7, God made known his ways to Moses and his acts to the children of Israel. Moses was able to discern the works of God on the children of Israel. God gave them daily bread in the form of manna. He gave them water in the middle of a desert. Their feet didn’t swell and their clothes did not wear out after forty years of washing. He commanded the clouds by day to shade the people from the hot sun. He sent fire by night to warm them.

He daily loads us with benefits (Psalms 68). He forgives all of our iniquities, heals all our diseases, redeems our lives from destruction, and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies (Psalms 103).

Grace & Peace!
