"Everything I once held dear, I count it all as loss... LEAD ME TO THE CROSS"... Seriously, everything this world has to offer, everything we can do by ourselves, is a loss. Get in on the kingdom of God. Get in on what God is doing, and let Him move through you. Get your mind out of what society and our culture says is important! GET INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
Don't worry about tomorrow! Don't worry about yesterday. Worry about now! What can you be accomplishing in the Kingdom of God? Don't get all caught up in your own kingdom, or in building up your own future. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. All the things I was so proud of, all of my accomplishments, all I have to offer - None of it can add up. It is never enough! I need to be in the kingdom of God! It's all a loss if it is apart from the will of God!
If you're born of the Spirit according to the Bible, then walk in the Spirit. If you walk in the spirit, you won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Are you struggling, in bondage to sin? Walk in the Spirit! You can't earn your salvation! God payed for you already. His grace is enough! The prison door has been open for 2000 years! But how will you ever leave the prison without walking? Walk in the Spirit. let God be your guide. Seek first the kingdom of God. Everything will fall into place.
What is this kingdom of God? "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." -Romans 14:17
The kingdom of God IS NOT meat and drink. It isn't the temporal, carnal things of this world. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Ask yourself these questions (I'm asking myself too)
Am I lacking righteosness?
Am I lacking peace?
Am I lacking joy in the Holy Ghost?
Am I seeking first the kingdom of God?
Love you all,
-Larry
