To Not Know God and go about using His Authority....will not get you in heaven.
God Wants You To Know Him.
Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 17:1-3
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Life Eternal is Knowing God and Jesus Christ. Life Eternal is in the Son and whoever has received the Son has Eternal Life in them.
1John 5:11-12, 20
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
v20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
So seek a closer walk and fellowship with our Father and let the Holy Spirit unveil more of who Jesus Christ is and why he did what the Father had him do for us. Redemption and Reconciled to the Father through the Son. His Blood speaks and declares His Righteousness on our behalf. His kingdom is come and we are seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places now, so to rule and reign with Jesus the King and Priest. And the Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit, who is now come in us, who have received Jesus as our Savior. He has sealed us as His own.
Now the Father wants us to seek after Him to know Him better. Seek His kingdom and righteousness. Our Father is a good God and Father and He has made all provision for us through His Son Jesus the Christ. That divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
This is a knowing that is more than head knowledge. This is a knowing that comes from an Encounter of His Presence which changes everything about us... yet a little at a time so we aren't overwhelmed in His Glory.
So ask, seek and knock..... Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness... God will take care of you.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Thank you Father.
Amen.
