"“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
4 Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you."
How beautiful is that coming from our Father God? He just wants to love us and He wants us to sincerely love Him back. We can't keep passing curses and going from generation to generation, playing with God's emotions and feelings. He's here. And He says, He is a jealous God and will repay us for disobedience. (Exodus 20:4-7) "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. "You
shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." We have carved and made almost every image we've seen, both in heaven and on earth. And the pride and arrogance we take in these possessions, is killing us. Why? Because God is not receiving His praise and glory for the love He gives us each day. He has also commanded that these things not be made . We sit like we sit today, because of separation from God and each other. We have taken everyone of these images and gone our way to capitalize off of them. Instead of capitalizing off of their Creator, Our Creator, God. God wants to have His own personal relationship with each and everyone of His children. He wants to be called upon in faith. And know that we will stand on that faith until the end of whatever matter or situation. He says, without faith it is impossible to please Him. As our parents gave us rules and regulations to follow, and we tried to adhere to them. God asks, that we obey His rules and commands, so we may prosper. (Deuteronomy 6:4-16) "The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Caution Against Disobedience “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full— then beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth. “You shall not tempt the Lord your God as you tempted Him in Massah." We are not taking our minds into a spiritual dimension and basing it upon scripture. Understanding, that there's royal blood running through our veins. (Jeremiah 29:11-13) "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Put your whole heart, mind, body, and soul into finding God. And find Him.
(Matthew 7:7-8) "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
Blessings to all who seek God and find Him,
