Entering the Kingdom of Heaven is considered impossible
The spiritual realm is a mystery and foolishness to those who do not believe
It can even be hard for believers to comprehend
That is why some people
never fully realize the treasure of the kingdom while they are here on Earth
We will learn of Jesus’ richness and grace for all eternity
How much we give of ourselves to Him might even be representative
of how much understanding of Jesus we will receive
While we do not give our efforts to the Lord to pay for our salvation,
Jesus spoke of being greatest and least in the Kingdom of Heaven:
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19
He will honor those who honor His word
And ye shall seek Me, and find Me,
when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
He wants it all
Every nook and cranny
Every fiber of our being
Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you,
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
Who then can be saved?
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible…
God’s promise to those who follow Him with all they have and are:
Then answered Peter and said unto Him,
Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Thee;
what shall we have therefore?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That ye which have followed Me, in the regeneration
when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory,
ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father,
or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Matthew 19:23-30
When we have Jesus before us and He leads our walk,
we can trust that He will perform miracles,
some we will be aware of and others we might not be,
but know that He is working and shaping and molding us
He is attending to our prayers and listening to our heart’s cry
for those who do not know Him yet, working the situations out in fulness,
in His way, in His plan for each one
Our timing never seems to match God’s timing,
but when the miracle is birthed,
we see how God’s hand has been working all along the way
The mystery of salvation is indeed a miracle
and is given by revelation of Jesus by the Holy Spirit
There is no forcing it
It develops and is shaped and molded
into the spiritual birth that He has intended
Keep praying and trusting and knowing that He will do what He has promised
for those whom you have been praying
It can only happen as He opens the eyes of the person(s) and reveals Himself,
in miracle fashion, in only the way that Jesus can do
All of His work is done perfectly, with deepest thought
and most careful determination
Pray, then revel in His goodness, in His promises
The marvels of the Kingdom revealed to the sons on Earth
That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:6
We do not have the capability to open anyone’s eyes, that honor belongs to God
His promises to you are unique and unfailing
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew 13:16
