Kingdom 103: Simple Made Complicated
When I read and study the words and behavior of my Lord Jesus the Christ, I realize He had only one simple message which centered around the words "Believe and Obey". Jesus made this statement: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Lord God wants us to believe and obey His Son. That is the Will of the Lord God. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." To believe in the Lord Jesus and the written word takes faith. It also takes a lot of effort on your part, because the air waves are full of misinformation that can deter you from the will of God for your life. Remember, Lucifer is the prince of the air. ... in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience...
Jesus came to earth with one simple message: From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. The Lord Jesus kept it simple for us all, when He said "repent" (meaning turn around). “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
Jesus came representing the Kingdom with His Father's message, and yet religion and its religious leaders have made it a complex moneymaking business. With their tax exempt 501c3 status muzzle, religious leaders all across this country are prostituting God's Constitution and calling it the Gospel. The Lord Jesus made it so plain even a child could understand it. Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven... He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me... If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you...If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
Throughout the Old Testament of the Constitution, you hear the words obey--obedience--and voice. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine... But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ The Lord God spoke to the children of Israel through His representative, to obey His Voice. I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me. All God wants from us is to obey Him and be obedient to His voice. But religious people, as well as their institutions, have made it appear difficult with religious rules and their definition of God's Constitution.
Keep in mind, the primary cause of many situations that are happening on this planet is Satan, the deceiver, who has deceived many since being cast down from Heaven. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Remember, Abraham was blessed because he listened and obeyed the Voice of God. Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son—blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
In the New Testament of the Constitution, it was the belief in Jesus that healed the noblemen's son. So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”
Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
Always remember, your faith in the Lord Jesus (the Word) is your greatest asset!
