Is God Enough?

The Life now in our hearts is totally pure, incorruptible and holy because it is God’s Life and not our own.

“And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach…”
Colossians 1:21-22

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Is God enough?

Read Colossians 3:1-3
“If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”

What is affection? The dictionary says that affection is fond attachment, devotion, the emotional realm of love.

Words that describe affection, (attachment, care, concern,
desire, devotion, love, passion), so now we see and know and understand what affection/affections mean.
The scripture says:
* “if you then being risen with Christ”
*  if you have excepted
Christ into your heart and asked Him to become Lord and savior of your life
*   if you have asked for forgiveness of your sins and have repented (turned away from) those sins and now you are in Christ the old man is dead and you have risen alive in Christ, seek those things which are above.

What are the things that are above?
Number 1, Jesus is above, seek Him with diligence don’t let go of Him until He blesses you and I dare say even after He blesses you don’t let go.
Hold on to Him for dear life, because LIFE is holding on to Jesus. All that you see around you is temporal.
*This is not the real thing. The real thing is when we see Jesus and enter into the
kingdom, so don’t set your all and all on these earthly things, what we have here can be destroyed, stolen, broken but if our affection are on those things that are above, they can never be lost.

Matthew 6:19-20 says: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break. through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither. moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

Yes it is fine to have things here, but don’t let them rule you. Don’t let them be what your love and passion is set on, they are temporary and in the end they will mean nothing the only thing that will be of the greatest importance will be —– am I going to be with the Lord for eternity.
Jesus said “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3).
You have a mansion in heaven
dear ones claim it, set your love, your desire, your passions on Jesus. Hide your life IN Christ.

One of the greatest problems we have in our culture today is that we have turned our back on any “divine” design for the civil government and have basically decided that we want a “savior” state. This is very similar to what Israel was asking for in 1 Samuel 8. God said that the people had rejected Him. In rejecting God, we have turned our faces to the political golden calf.

This “deification” of the state has led to a belief that the state can therefore determine what is right and what is wrong. And if it is a true god-state, then who can dare say “you do wrong?”, or caution restraint when it demands continual growth, unbounded power and no limits on its ability to tax and spend.

But there is a steep price to this and a stern warning from both the Scripture and the rubble of history. This approach to civil government will lead to massive spending that will be nearly impossible to curb. Massive spending will eventually sap the production of a people and create a growing debt that will be impossible to reign in because the populous will be dependent upon it.

Whenever a citizenry believe that the state is fulfilling a “savior” role, then they will demand that it do so even while it is killing them.

We must live with a character in this world.

“Personality” is easy to understand. Your
“personality” is how people experience you. It’s your public persona.

But what is “character?” And why is “character”so crucial in your Life?

Character is who you are when no one is watching!!!!!!!

As with the depths of a diamond, the
interior is twice as important as the surface.
There are people who are all facade, like a house left unfinished when the funds run out. They have the entrance of a palace but the inner rooms of a
cottage.

I thank you Lord for your shield of protection. Thank you for surrounding
me with your mercy and your grace. I bless your holy name Father God you are wonderful and I love you. I love you Lord. There is truly none like you Lord and I worship, honor,  glorify  and adore you this day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
