But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There are things I tell you to seek and things I tell you to avoid. But of all the things I tell you to seek, there is one you should seek first, and when that becomes your priority, everything else is added to you besides. And that one thing is My Kingdom. And along with the Kingdom to seek My righteousness. Why? Because you cannot have one without the other.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.
In the Old Testament, the references to My Kingdom are of its majesty, its splendor, its perfect beauty and harmony, its justice and its righteousness. In the New Testament, Jesus preached the Kingdom and how to enter it and access it. And in the book of Acts and the letters of Paul, after Jesus paid your judgment, satisfied your sentence, and gave you His righteousness, the Kingdom is preached as your inheritance and as your source of supply even now.
What made the difference? Being born again from above and being made righteous with My own righteousness. For the Kingdom of Heaven is one of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Only the righteous can enter it and the only righteous One is Jesus and all of you who believe in Him, for you are in Him and He is in you and you are His body, the Church. He is the firstborn of many brethren.
For you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels in festal gathering, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24.
Your inheritance is beautiful, far beyond all you can ask or imagine.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me. Psalm 16:5-6.
Jesus preached the good news of the Kingdom. In Him, My Kingdom touched the earth. Every time a healing took place, the Kingdom had touched the earth, for there is no sickness in Heaven. Whenever He multiplied the supplies and caused abundance to spring forth, the Kingdom had touched the earth, for there is no lack in My Kingdom, only super abundance that overflows and never runs dry or ceases. Whenever He raised the dead, the Kingdom had touched the earth, for there is no death in My Kingdom. And wherever His brought joy, the Kingdom had touched the earth for there is nothing but joy in My Kingdom. When Jesus came the Kingdom came.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” Matthew 13:45-46.
If you are seeking the Kingdom first, you are seeking Jesus for when you have Jesus, you have the Kingdom. I have rescued you from the realm of darkness and translated you into the Kingdom of My Beloved Son, in whom you have redemption, the forgiveness of your sins. Colossians 1:13-14.
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” John 18:36.
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 2 Timothy 4:1-2.
And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” Luke 23:42.
For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. 2 Peter 1:11.
But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Mark 10:14.
First, the Kingdom is open to you and given to you only one way and that way is Jesus, it is though faith in Him that you are born again from above by My Word of power as you are generated anew back to My image and likeness by the working of the Holy Spirit. But it does not stop there, you transform your life in Him by receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. He is My Word made flesh and dwelling among you leading you home to Me, planting in you the imperishable seed of My Word, which undoes and destroys the lies of the devil.
He is the way to the Kingdom for He is the way to Me.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6.
He is your teacher. Your master teacher.
Your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, “Be gone!” Isaiah 30:20-22.
He has opened a new and living way to you right to the throne of grace and it is the way He opened with His blood which released you from your sins as He put His eternal blood of the eternal redemption on the mercy seat (propitiatory) in Heaven forever interceding for you before Me, making you holy, blameless and without reproach before Me.
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:10-23.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:19-20.
For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven. 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 1:19-22.
He is the truth. To enter the Kingdom you must be sanctified in truth. And there is only one absolute, never changing truth that is solid rock and never shifts, turns, or changes but is forever new and that is My Word. And My Word became flesh and dwelt among you and of His fullness you have all received, grace upon grace. My Word planted in you heart puts My life into you so that you will live forever. You have the pledge of redemption, the seal of My Spirit in you and His indwelling presence, when you believe and receive the gospel of your Salvation (Yeshuah). He gives life to your mortal body and resurrection life to your immortal spirit and soul to raise up for you a new and glorious body of the supernatural substance of glory. I supply for all of your needs according to My riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19.
Jesus cleanses your mind to renew it of the old way of thinking, the ways of the world, the flesh, and the devil, when you open you life to Him as a member of His body the church.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church [q]in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:25-27.
As you continue (remain, abide) in My Word, by hearing it, meditating on it line by line, speaking it, doing it, you are truly My disciples, and then you will know the truth, for faith comes by what you are hearing so be hearing My Word, and the truth will set you free! Free to be the wonderful, powerful, loving, and beloved YOU I made you to be!
Truth can only be found in Me, that is, in My Words, and that is what will make you more than a conqueror, for the truth takes down any lie and treads it underfoot. There is no fear when you know the truth of who I am (your healer, provider, shepherd, sanctifier, redeemer, righteousness, forever father, and LORD) and who you are (holy, blameless, an overcomer, strong in Me, filled with My joy and My shalom peace, forgiven, blessed, fruitful, a royal priesthood, and precious). The truth of who you are in Me can take out any sin, sickness, depression, oppression, lack, loneliness, fear, evil, and weakness. Psalm 103:1-5.
Established in righteousness you will be far from oppression and any tongue raised against you, you will prove false. No weapon formed against you can prosper because your righteousness is from Me. I have made you a new creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Old things have passed away, gone like the mist in the morning sun, all things in Christ have become new. I have redeemed you.
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21.
There is no condemnation now for you who are in Christ Jesus. He paid your judgment and satisfied your sentence. In Him, you are free, as if sin had never been. Your sins and offenses I remember no more, Hebrews 10:15-17, because when I accounted them all to Jesus they were no longer yours.
He is the life, your eternal life is in Him. I promised you eternal life before times eternal, before you were even born into the world, and in Jesus I kept My promise. Titus 1:2.
He came to bring you life, abundant life, until it overflows. He is the light of the world, and no follower of His will ever walk in darkness, NO NEVER, for those who follow Him have the light of life and the life of light. My Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. And He is My Word manifested among you, tabernacled with you, revealing My glory, lighting your way to the Kingdom, to My holy mountain, to that eternal abode of prayer and praise, of worship in Spirit and truth, which is the place of answers founded on perfect agreement of your heart with Mine. He is the High Priest of your confession (homologia—one in Word and works).
So how do you seek the Kingdom? By the way, the truth, and the life. And that is all in Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other way to enter and access the Kingdom than the way of SHALOM that He came to preach and to open by His blood to you.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our SHALOM fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on (את) Him. Isaiah 53:5-6.
I love you. Let Me introduce you to Jesus, for when you cling to Me in love and call upon My Name I rescue you, honor you, bless you with long life, and show you My Yeshuah (Salvation which is the Name I gave to Jesus, for His Name in the Hebrew in which He was called is simply “Salvation” and that He is to you, salvation in every situation and arena of life). All good things return from love. And I am love. And I so loved you I gave you Jesus. You have passed in Him from death to life, eternal life. It has pleased Me to give you the Kingdom, you who are the little flock of My Son, your eternal Shepherd and great High Priest.
Do not be live in fear, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom. Luke 12:32.
Now the God of SHALOM peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21.
