Without God and Jesus, without the Wisdom of God, without loving God with all our heart, soul and mind, without loving one another,  without having God as the center of our life and without seeking the truth that lies within us, we are nothing but empty vessels heading for death and destruction for ourselves.

The world offers nothing but vanity and until we find God, we will die empty, with no hope of salvation. We stand before God on judgement day and if our name is not in the book of life, we will not see heaven, we will experience the second death.

Don't reject God and Jesus but find life in them. God Bless You

The Glory is God’s | Vanity is Man’s]]>

Wisdom: the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement. Seeking the Truth is a part of gaining Wisdom because like Wisdom, you will gain knowledge, experience and understanding. It's important that we pray to God for Wisdom because she brings life.

Hold fast to discipline, never let her go, keep your eyes on her, she is your life. Never set your foot on the path of the wicked, do not walk the way that the evil go. Avoid it, do not take it, turn your back on it, pass it by.

Following God's Words and His ways will give you health both physically, mentally and spiritually. You will find peace and freedom from the world. Follow Jesus, call on Him to come into your heart because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Whosoever believes on Him, will have everlasting, eternal life. He is our way back to God, there is no other way. Pray to God for repentance.

Pay Attention to God's Word

Don't burden yourself with the things the world has to offer. You will be walking the road of steep hills and climbing mountains.

Put on the yoke Jesus has to offer and as you overcome the world and yourself the hills and mountains will be laid low. Your ways will become solid as you build on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

The way of the world is a stumbling block and an obstacle course. The way of the Lord is straight and narrow. Very few find this road. They just can't let go of the world or themselves.

As you overcome the sins that you distant you from Knowing God, your path will become obstacle free and the hills and mountains will be leveled. Your eyes will begin to see truth more clearer. Pray for the gift of discernment, we need it to distinguish between what is true and what is false.

The evils of the world begin with pride. Want for yourself. Take care of myself first. Forget about God and others, I have needs too. Toiling day and night for temporary happiness. Ambition for the temporary things in life. People say," Didn't God give us all these things to take pleasure in?" Yet God gets put on the shelf.

Instead of God being the center of our universe, the things of the world are. Spiritual, devout people, so few, so very few. Nothing in the heart, all from the lips. The false self rules.

Jesus' life, death and resurrection for you. A great act of love. So few can give up their petty lives to receive the abundance of this love.

It's a terrible thing to have to be the one who angers God. Our sinful nature causes us to be blind to the wonderful things God is offering us. The main thing is His divine love and everlasting eternal life.

We need to look inward not outward. Ask Jesus to help you see yourself, so you too can nail your flesh to the cross and be reborn. The flesh is corrupt and it corrupts your mind, your heart and your soul. Which leaves you disconnected from God.

To take on such a big responsibility, one needs to have been taught by the Lord and not by man. The only way one can know the truth is to have been shown it, by walking with Jesus to the cross, dying in Him and being reborn again. One needs to be baptized with the Holy Spirit as well.

How could anyone possibly know the truth if they haven't been taught it by the Spirit of Truth? (John 14:15-17) To teach someone half-truth is a lie and it could be a downfall for both of you.

(14) In the case of the other nations the Master waits patiently for them to attain the full measure of their sins before He punishes them, but with us He has decided to deal differently, (15) rather than to have to punish us later, when our sins come to a head.

(16) And so He never entirely withdraws His mercy from us; He may discipline us by some disaster, but He does not desert His own people. (17) Let this be said simply by way of reminder; we must return to our story without more ado.]]>

Foot Note (Jerusalem Bible): The manna hidden by Jeremiah (2M 2:4-8), to be the food for those who are saved in the heavenly kingdom; the white stone is a badge or token of admittance or membership.

2 Maccabees 2:4-8, 'The document also described how the prophet, warned by an oracle, gave orders for the tabernacle and the ark to go with him when he set out for the mountain which Moses had climbed to survey God's heritage.

On his arrival, Jeremiah found a cave-dwelling, into which he brought the tabernacle, the ark and the altar of incense, afterwards blocking up the entrance. Some of his companions came up to mark out the way, but were unable to find it.

When Jeremiah learned this, he reproached them: 'The place is to remain unknown' he said 'until God gathers His people together again and shows them His mercy. Then the Lord will bring these things once more to light, and the Glory of the Lord will be seen. Also, so will the cloud, as it was revealed in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the Holy Place might be gloriously hallowed.']]>

Gratitude

We need to be grateful for all the good things as well as the bad things that happen in our life. For instance, Thank God for what you have and pray to Him for the things that you need. Be grateful to God for His blessed Son Jesus Christ our Savior and His Holy Spirit. Always give God the glory for all your blessings and He will give you more.

Acceptance

In your tests and trials, you may find these difficult and/or tough to deal with. Don't get discouraged because with patience and faith, you will overcome them. You may have to suffer through them from time to time, but they will build up your strength and pretty soon they won't feel all that difficult to deal with. 

Always look for a positive to come from them. Analyze them thoroughly and build up your awareness level. Never worry or fear the things that look bad. Keep your hope, faith and trust in God.

Many people have the knowledge of Truth, but the only way to understand Truth is by experience. It can take time to find the truth, it all depends on what truth you are seeking to experience.

When it comes to spiritual things, you may find that some truth you can understand faster than others. Even scriptures in the bible need to be proven true through experience.

In order to find truth and experience it is to follow Jesus. Jesus said that we need to pick up our cross and follow Him. Jesus will teach us truth and give us confirmations to what He has taught us. If you follow Him and seek the truth in Him, you will experience it. He laid out the way for us so thought we can reconnect with God and draw nearer to Him.

In time, Jesus will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will also teach you truth (John 14:26). So, surrender your life and will to Him and He will help you experience Truth.

This Rapture idea started in the 1800's and it has been going on since. I have read a lot of books written by spiritual, Christian people and some use the word rapture but, they are speaking about what the word "Rapture" means. Rapture means "ecstasy", according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: 1. an expression or manifestation of ecstasy or passion. 2. a state or experience of being carried away by overwhelming emotion. 3. a mystical experience in which the spirit is exalted to a knowledge of divine things.

You can believe in whatever you want, but if you are looking forward to a Rapture, I would study and research this subject to find the truth for yourself and not rely on someone else's belief. Also, I would build up my faith and trust in God because we are going to need it to get through life while waiting for Jesus to return for us.
