There Are No Short Cuts

Many believers today try to manufacture and produce the heavenly joy and experiential wisdom by earthy carnal means, but the end results of these self efforts are the eventual collapse and shipwreck of the child of Almighty God on the rocks of unbelief (Matt 7:26-27, 1 Tim 1:19, Heb. 4:2, James 1:22).

Only when the mind of the child of God is absolutely fixed (Is 26:3) and locked onto Almighty God’s NEVER changing Word - by faith with application (Heb. 11:1,6) - will the child of God enter into a realm of spiritual treasure and knowledge that transcends the confinements of time (Prov 4:7, Rom. 11:3, Col 2:2-3, 1 Peter 1:7). It is only when Almighty God’s Word is applied and exercised in the life of the child of God that spiritual growth will take place (John 15). It does not come cheap and is well worth the price (1 Peter 1:7).

Whatever you are going through today; take this opportunity to trust your Heavenly Father and apply His Word in your life by faith and watch what God will do for you. He will enlarge your mind and heart. He give you a heavenly vision that will help you comprehend and know in your heart that Heaven is our home and that God truly loves you and wants only the highest and best for you (Rom 8:28). The world will take notice and see His MIGHTY hand upon you, for Christ in you is wise and complete and their famished soul will desire to know and possess the wonderful fruits of the Spirit which are now being manifested in your life (Matt 5:16, Luke 8:8, Gal 5:22-23).

My Beloved, bring along your notebook and pencil and pay close attention to what Almighty God is seeking to teach you today. Have faith in God with great thanksgiving for you will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A very good word indeed! Thanks for posting. Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Is the opening your interpretive ‘compilation’ or ‘composite’ of the quoted scripture? It’s not exactly what I get with KJV.

I think every church service should quote from Matt 7. I didn’t recognize it by heart, but when I read it I remembered it immediately. It’s deeply Buddhist and is like the golden path of Buddha or the Noble Eightfold Path.

Anybody get an ‘Old Testament Prophet’ like feel about Buddha? — but from a different culture?
