Is God All I Need?

Our heart is the place where all thoughts, emotions and desires originate.
*  “Watch over your heart with all diligence; for from it flow the springs of life.” Provers 4:23

JESUS, the Person, is the Word of God made flesh as the ultimate revelation of the triune God (John 1:1-5,18; Hebrews 1:1-3).
****The glory of God is a person and that person is Jesus!!!!

Scripture tells us God’s Spirit came forth from the Holy of Holies to fill Solomon’s Temple, and daily we must allow His Spirit to issue forth from the Holy of Holies (our hearts) to fill the inner court (our souls and bodies) with His Glory.

**  “…the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.” 1 Kings 8:11

As a follower of Jesus this is my fervent cry, that God would so show up in our midst that we could not even focus on our churchly duties, ie ministry. They would take a backseat to truly experiencing God(to Know Him, JN 17:3). In doing so, it would turn our churchly duties, into acts of obedience to a personal God.

Any believer who wishes to please God with his prayer life will have to settle
this question:
“Does God have all I need?
Or do I need to go elsewhere for my
answer?”

This appears to be a simple question—one that should not even need to be
asked.
And most Christians would immediately answer, “Yes, of course I believe God has all I need.”
But the fact is, many are not fully convinced!

We say we believe it. We sing hymns and preach about it. But when a crisis hits and God does not seem to answer, *we do not really believe He has what we need!

Paul states: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches
in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
The Lord has a storehouse of abundance with which to meet our every need!

Why did the troubled woman in Jesus’ parable keep bothering the unjust judge, asking him for justice?

** It was because she knew that he alone had the power and authority to solve her problem.
* She could go to no one else (see Luke 18:1-8).

Oh, if only we had such an inner knowledge that GOD ALONE has all we need, we would never turn in vain to any other source.
The Lord is a just and holy judge and He has ALL the Wisdom, Power and Authority to solve any problem we face.

God spent forty years trying to convince Israel they would never lack
anything—that He would be their constant source and supply:
“For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing” (Deuteronomy 2:7).

God was saying, “There is no scarceness, no shortage with Me. I have all you will ever need!”

“For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land . . . in which you
will lack nothing . . . when you have eaten and are full . . .” (Deuteronomy
8:7-10, 12).

Today, the Lord has brought us into our Promised Land—Christ! Jesus is to us
an abiding place where there is never any lack. He represents the fullness of
the godhead bodily.

If we choose to walk after the Spirit, our bodies will be filled with “God’s Life”. (the new man), but if we choose to walk after the flesh, our bodies will reflect “self-life” (the old man).
*”For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another…”Galatians 5:17

*Be Biblically informed and Balanced!
**Can we Trust God to Give us ALL that we need to live a Life for His Glory?

God is continually trying to teach us how to set aside “self-life” so that His Life can reign supreme in our hearts.
* “For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.”
2 Corinthians 4:11
*We are (or should be) constantly dying to self. Until we die to self on the cross we are sitting on the throne of our lives. And Christ is on the cross.

When there is divine order in our temple, for we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we can anticipate and expect the glory of the Lord to descend on us and flow through us.
It is imperative that all believers allow the Holy Spirit and the word of God to order our lives.
Where we do not line up with the word or where we are disobedient to the Holy Spirit we must repent.

It is time for all of us to allow God to control Every aspect of our lives.
* Let us crucify our flesh and die to self.
* Let God rule and reign in every area and aspect of our lives. Remember He is looking for a bride without spot or wrinkle.

Lord Jesus. My prayer is Psalms 139:23-24.  Search me, O God, and know my heart!  Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Let’s put ourselves on the cross and put Christ on the throne!!!! Jesus You are so in Control and You Loves US (His Masterpiece) dearly!!!! Thank You for saving a sinner as Me! Amen
