CAN YOU AFFORD THE RELATIONSHIP?

Just as the Great Depression of the 1930’s was a worldwide economic downturn there is a worldwide spiritual downturn is this present society. For many centuries truth has been deteriorating in the minds of men with devastating effects resulting across the globe.

Just as international trade, incomes, tax revenues, prices and profits were deeply affected in the 30’s so has the love toward our fellow man and the love towards God been deeply affected.

Not many people are willing to pay the price for true relationship with the God, and many are in such a state of SPIRITUAL DEPRESSION they don’t even face the reality of the relationship or the lack thereof.

They are merely satisfied to create, and accept a romanticized relationship with Him.

As a fan romanticizes their favorite movie star, or musical act, so do the many, with God.

They don’t desire to do what it takes to get in the relationship.

Enter in at the straight Gate – this is the only entry. There is no other entry.

Acceptance of Yeshua

Matthew 7:13-14

“ENTER YE IN (TO THE NARROW WAY) at the STRAIT GATE: for WIDE IS THE GATE, and BROAD IS THE WAY,

THAT LEADETH TO DESTRUCTION, AND MANY there be which go in thereat: BECAUSE STRAIT IS THE GATE, AND NARROW IS THE WAY, which LEADETH UNTO LIFE, and FEW there be that find it.”

Mark 8:32
Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.

Romans 10:9-10

Through Confession with the mouth- this is a continual confession (lifestyle not just words spoken one time)

And Belief in the heart-this a continual belief (not wavering)

Mark 1:15

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

They won’t do what it takes to maintain the relationship.

Be an active participant in maintaining your salvation.

Philippians 2:12
WORK OUT (to do that from which something results/deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation) YOUR OWN SALVATION (deliverance from the molestation of enemies) WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING.

Revelations 3:21

TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GRANT TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, EVEN AS I ALSO OVERCAME, AND AM SET DOWN WITH MY FATHER IN HIS THRONE.”

Don’t be a sucker.

Ephesians 5:6a

LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU WITH VAIN WORDS

Obey the word of God.

James 1:22

BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES.

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven.”

John 12:48

“He that REJECTETH ME, and RECEIVETH NOT
MY WORDS (ALL SCRIPTURE),
hath one that judgeth him:
THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN (SCRIPTURE),
the same shall judge him in the last day.”

The mouth speaks great swelling things but the willingness to do is far removed from the hearts of men. They continue to spiritually sink, all the while, failing to acknowledge the reality that they are in A DEPRESSION (long and severe recession) (he lowering or reducing of something) (a sunken place or hollow on a surface).


Be willing to lose your life for his sake (Many give up your way for his way)

Matthew 8:35
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s,
the same shall save it.

How does one enter relationship with God?

o This doesn’t merely happen by walking down and aisle and shaking a preachers hand.

o It doesn’t happen by joining your nearest MSI (mind screwing institution)

o It doesn’t happen by repeated an MSI approved script, AND THEN WALLAH! you’re in there.

There are many Anti-Christ (anything or person who opposes God and His word is against him) who say there are many ways, however, this view opposes the Word of God. (Stop looking for THEE antichrist. Antichrist is a spirit of many who oppose God-disobey Him.) (1 John 2:18,22, 1 Jonh 4:3, 2 John 1:7)

Relationship with God only comes through relationship with His Son Yeshua.

John 14:6

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME

Matthew 7:24-27

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine,
AND DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a WISE MAN, which built his house upon a ROCK:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it FELL NOT: FOR IT WAS FOUNDED UPON A ROCK.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, AND DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH MAN, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; AND IT FELL: AND GREAT WAS THE FALL OF IT.”

Hebrews 5:9

“And being made perfect, he (Yeshua) became THE AUTHOR OF ETERNAL SALVATION UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM.”

1 John 5:12

“He that HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; AND HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE.”

Revelation 3:20

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man HEAR MY VOICE, and OPEN THE DOOR,
I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME”.

HERE IS THE FINAL PARAMETER FOR TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

Remembering the only way to the Father is through His son Yeshua: Yeshua speaks these words to the multitudes that followed him. Keep in mind Yeshua feed thousands regularly, so many may have just been hanging out for the perks and not truly desiring to follow him with their hearts. This scripture in Luke 14 separates the men from the boys.


Luke 14:26-27

If any man come to me (YESHUA),
and hate -feel intense or passionate dislike not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also,

This vehemence of his (Yeshua’s) tone doesn’t indicate that his wish is for you to go around hating people in a literal sense but to feel hatred towards them and their ways over him and his ways, To put them not before, but beneath him. This verse speaks to PRIORITY of relationships and TONE.

he cannot be my disciple…

EX.

Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man LEAVE (to relinquish,forsake, refuse)

his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 12:1
Now the LORD had said unto Abram,

Get (to depart, get away from, vanish) thee out of thy country,

and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee:

….And whosoever doth not bear (carry, endure, receive) his cross stauros- (self denial), and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

CAN YOU AFFORD THIS RELATIONSHIP?

ARE YOU WILLING TO LIVE BY THE PARAMETERS SET?

OR ARE YOU JUST A GOD GROUPIE?
