AWE...AND THAT'S THE THANKS YOU GOT

AWE...AND THAT'S THE THANKS YOU GOT

Are you are crying and moaning over the fact that people are taking advantage of you? Do you shut out those who only to call when they want something? Are you soon forgotten, when there is no need? ..." Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the nine? [18] Was there no one found to return and to recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?"Luke 17:17-18 (AMP) Welcome to My kingdom. Do you think yourself better than Me?  Have you no idea what you joined, when you decided to follow Me. I said, "the servant is not greater than his master".

Every day I check your attitude toward people who eat and run, wanting the food, but not the fellowship. I see when people complain, that what you did was not enough and they expected more. ..."pray for them which despitefully use you,"... Matthew 5:44 (KJV)  The fact is, I am not the slightest bit interested in their attitude toward your generosity, I am only watching your response, to their ungratefulness. This is the deciding factor on your promotion in the kingdom. The closer you get to Me the more you will give, and the more ungrateful people you will encounter. If they can get you to harden your heart, then you are not kingdom material.

This is what you do not realize, they are not taking advantage of you, it's Me they are dealing with, because if you are kingdom, you have been giving them My stuff. Don't you remember, you surrendered everything, when you decided to follow Me. When you pick up an attitude, you prove to Me that you are still claiming ownership to your stuff and you want some type of compensation, at least in the form of a thank you. No one likes an ungrateful person, but they will always exist, so I use them to train and promote kingdom people. ..."if anyone wants to sue you and take your undershirt (tunic), let him have your coat also. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles." Matthew 5:40-41 (AMP)

So many will never enter the kingdom because they claim ownership to so many material possessions and they will not leave them to follow Me. Mammon has such a grip on them, even for the little they do, if they are not recognized, they close up and become bitter over it. If you are growing toward kingdom you will eventually claim nothing as your own. Remember..." not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was exclusively his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all." Acts 4:32 (AMP)

This is the final hurdle in the crucified, risen life. When you claim none of this worlds goods as your very own, then you are kingdom. You are dead to self and ready for battle. You are very dangerous at this point and strike paralyzing fear in the enemy camp. Very few, in the western culture, reach this level. It is common practice to call the police, sue, break up families, become violent and even murder, rather than give up claim to everything. In most cases you cannot even borrow from a so called Christian. ..."lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." Luke 6:35 (KJV)

You say, I want to be like you Lord, but these are just meaningless words, unless you truly surrender the rights to all your stuff, including money. Many are loosing their retirement, their savings, their 401k, because they are sincerely praying over and over, "make me like you Lord". I had none of these!  ..."Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Matthew 8:20 (AMP) Be honest when you pray this or sing this, you really have no idea what you are asking, do you?

After 33 years of constant giving, here is the thank you I received, "... they stripped Me, and put on Me a scarlet robe. [29] And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon My head, and a reed in My right hand: and they bowed the knee before Me, and mocked Me, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! [30] And they spit upon Me, and took the reed, and smote Me on the head.. [31] And after that they had mocked Me, they took the robe off from Me, and put My own raiment on Me, and led Me away to crucify Me. Matthew 27:28-31 (KJV) This was their way of saying THANK YOU JESUS. I replied, ..."Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted My raiment, and cast lots." Luke 23:34 (KJV)

Why do you pray, " make me like you Lord", yet whine and complain when someone doesn't say thank you, or get angry when someone dents My car? Or is it still your car? You better think before you pray! Because I will answer. If you want to be in My kingdom, then surrender all your earthly rights and receive the rights of My kingdom. You must either ..."hate the one and love the other, or (you must) stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in)." Matthew 6:24 (AMP)

Knowing this, some of you may no longer follow Me, but the truth will set others free. ..." many of My disciples went back, and walked no more with (Me. [67] Then I said unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? John 6:66-67 (KJV)
