Christian Living

---

Only what exists in heaven, in the spiritual realm is real. There lies the original I designed for life on earth. That which is on earth, which you see with the natural eye is not real, since it is passing. It is only transitory. That is why when I give you instructions and I tell you specific details of what to do and how to act, it is because I am preparing you for the real life, the life that is eternal.

Thus you cannot disobey me, or obey me partially and expect to have my pleasure. Total disobedience, or partial obedience means you have defied my word, and that means what you have done does not conform to the measurement of the blue print that exists in the spiritual realm. It is therefore repugnant to me: it is unacceptable to me since it does not conform to my design. And you cannot be rewarded for disobedience.

You do not understand the far reaching nature of disobedience. Disobedience results in the destruction and dismantling of structures, ideas and designs which have been established from the beginning of time in the spiritual realm and in my mind.
I am the original designer and creator of all things, and I do all things well. I am the essence of goodness and truth. I am truth itself. So whatever does not conform fully to my word is a lie. Believing a half- truth, is believing a lie, and Satan is the father of lies. Truth is whole and complete. There can be no gaps or inconsistencies. If there is, then it is not truth.

In my kingdom you must learn to obey me fully, and act in accordance with all I tell you. You cannot pick and choose what to do. That is why I say, if you do not understand my word, come to me, and my Holy Spirit will make it plain to you. I tell you if you lack wisdom, you should come to me, and I will give you liberally of my wisdom without upbraiding you.

That is why I tell you to seek wisdom and understanding above all things – to seek it with all your heart. You are to seek it as if your last breath depends upon it. Wisdom is at the street corner and on the mountain tops. Wherever you go, I have sent wisdom calling out to you to get your attention. She is everywhere, but she will never force herself upon you. So although she is everywhere – just at your beckoning – you cannot see her until you set your face to seek for her. But beware! The woman, Folly is also everywhere. She is an imitation, and wherever wisdom goes, there she is calling out as loudly to whoever will listen. She is easy to follow because she does not demand commitment, and she pleases the flesh.

She, Folly is easy to follow because she is a liar who withholds the truth. She keeps from you the depths of her deception; she covers over the tragic pain and loss you will experience when you go her way. Deception and insincerity is her game. So I warn you, do not follow her. Her end is destruction.

The pleasure she gives to you is only temporary – very short-lived. The fame and renown she gives to you will soon disappear. She will seem to exalt you and make you feel great, but she will turn around the next minute and expose your weaknesses and mock you. The same world that she caused to praise you, and exalt you while you thought she had securely ensconced you above all those around you – it is the same world, the same people whom she will cause to expose you, tear you down, and destroy you. Those who once praised you will now mock you and scorn you. Folly herself will laugh at you in the end.

However, even at that point, if you turn to me, and repent of your waywardness, and seek to obey my word, I will forgive you. I will wash from you the dirt and the stain which folly and the world plastered all over you. I will clean you up so that you can begin a new life. But you must follow Wisdom wholeheartedly. Follow all her instructions, then she will exalt you. Humble yourself and seek healing and redemption and she will save you.

However, my kingdom is built on truth, so I cannot deceive you that there will only be success, merriment, laughter and prosperity in my kingdom on earth. There is success and there is merriment, and there is laughter, but I am a God of vision and purpose. I am a hardworking God who knows what needs to be accomplished, by whom, and when.

I engrave on the palm of my hands all you, who belong to my kingdom. I watch over you carefully to see that your life conforms to the image in which I made you … to ensure that you fulfill all the plans and purposes I designed for you, and to ensure that you take time to tap into my resources … that you tap deep into your own soul and spirit to find the vision I implanted inside you at birth. Many of you live without finding it, and my heart is grieved, so sometimes I have to wake you and shake you, and pull the rug out from under your feet, just to get your attention.

It will cause you pain and discomfort, and you might think I am a hard and cruel God when I allow you to go through the hardship and pain necessary to wake you and get you on the path of your purpose. Some of you get stiff-necked and complain. You turn your back on me because you think the agony I allow you to go through is too severe – too unbearable.

Your problem is that when you are going through the pangs you often forget my promise that I will not allow you to go through more than you can bear. You momentarily forget that I am a God of my word – that I am a God who cannot lie and who cannot forget. You forget that I am a God of purpose – and that if you belong to me and are walking in my word, everything I permit in your life is for the fulfillment of my purpose.

If I take you through tests to equip you for your ultimate role in my kingdom, it is because those tests bring out the qualities and gifts I have placed within you that are required for your fulfillment. You must persevere – keep on going. Don’t give up. In this life and in the life to come you will be rewarded for your obedience.
