The Kingdom of Heaven IV

Let me show you that these things ARE God's will for you:

LONG LIFE -

"How blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. Long life is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor." (Prov. 3:13 &16)
"Because he has loved ME, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high . With a long life I will satisfy him, and let him behold My salvation." (Psalm 91:14 & 16)
" You shall impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul… and you shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall writethem on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, SO THAT YOUR DAYS AND THE DAYS OF YOUR CHILDREN MAY BE MULTIPLIED ON THE LAND" (Deuteronomy 11:18-21)

HEALTH

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you." (Romans 8:11)

"You will not be afraid of the terror by night… of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not approach you. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent." (Psalm 91:5-8 & 10)     (Click on "Read More" in the border below to view the rest)

God's plan was for man to not have ANY sickness.   In the garden of Eden, our bodies were healthy and whole.   When the protection of God was lifted, by Him sending Adam and Eve out of the garden, the enemy began to persecute us will illness.   There are specific demons assigned to attack us in health issues.    But we are OVERCOMERS.    We are also not subject to the curse anymore, with Christ having been made a curse for us!    HE is now our "Garden of Eden".    As we abide in Him, and He in us (by His Word and His Spirit) we are now able to walk in that same protection as Adam and Eve did, as well as in His authority. (John 15:7)     We are also not to succumb to Satan's destructive powers anymore, for he has been defeated by the suffering that Jesus went through for us.    If we don't learn to walk securely in this truth, we effectively make null and void the sacrifice He paid for us. (It's the same if we don't walk in the gift of salvation, in essence we waste His suffering… and many do…)    It's our choice, we can decide to seek out His power in this area, or choose to remain "under the circumstances".     It all begins with a decision to push until you receive the promised answer of perfect health, and continues with the confession that your healing has ALREADY been completed in the heavenlies.    It may be an instantaneous manifestation of that healing, or it may be a long fight of faith… but you shall have it if you hold fast until the end…. and even past the end… after all, there are many examples these days of people raising from the dead, for those who believed past the end.   "And having done everything, stand firm!" (Ephesians 6:13)    Even Abraham, when he had almost passed the point of NO RETURN in his obedience to sacrifice Isaac (as God had instructed him to), "he considered that God is able to raised men from the dead". (Hebrews 11:19)

"By His scourging we are healed!" (Isaiah 53:5) 

FINANCIAL BLESSINGS

"Will He not also with Him (Christ) freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and ALL THESE THINGS shall be added unto you" Matthew  6:33

"Jesus said, 'Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mothers ... or farms for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he shall receive a hundred times as much NOW IN THIS LIFE - houses and brothers.. farms (cars, etc.), along with persecutions (from the enemy), and in the age to come, eternal life.'  Mark 10:28-30 

We have such a great inheritance, so much that we can't even fathom it!    Seeing that the Word is clear .. we have the same blessings that have come to us, as Abraham did, how much more do we now have access to all things since Jesus has bought everything back for us?     You may have been told all your life that we get our inheritance when we get to heaven, after we die.    But, when does someone normally get an inheritance? It's NOT when THEY die, it's when one of their rich relatives have died, leaving them everything!   Jesus was that rich relative for us… and He left it all for us when He returned to heaven.

REMEMBER THE PARABLE OF LAND OWNER WHO LEFT EVERYTHING IN CHARGE OF SERVANTS…

BUT, it is also important for us not to put undue emphasis on material things, for "The kingdom of heaven is not meat nor drink, but righteousness, peace and joy!", said Jesus.     Our goal in life is to further this kind of kingdom in others lives, not hoard for ourselves.     But many Christians fail to understand that it takes all the resources we have at our access to accomplish this.    This includes time, money, earthly authority (whether in politics or commerce), and of course, spiritual authority.    It takes a while to get to the point where God can trust you with all His assets.... but our goal is to grow to that point, not shrink back to mediocrity.

"I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ!" (Philippians 3:8)

"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord, rather than for men; knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." (Colossians 3:23-24)
