1. MAR 12:30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
2. COL 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
3. ECC 9:10a Whatever your hand finds to do, verily, do it with all your might;
1PE 5:7 "Casting all your cares upon Him because He cares for you."
1. MAR 12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. '
2. COL 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
3. ECC 9:10a Whatever your hand finds to do, verily, do it with all your might;
As a Christian, there should be a contagious enthusiasm about your life.
JOH 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it more abundantly.
Having a blast begins with blasting away all those humanistic philosophies which try and hinder you from having the happiness of God. Solomon is saying in ECC 9:9, "Life is to be fun with the woman whom you love or the man whom you love!"
"Even your work is to be fun!", says ECC 9:9.
Life is to be free of guilt; Contagiously happy, Committed to God, Happy with the one God has given you, Happy on your job.
Before you can build a life like this with this kind of viewpoint, you've got to blast all the other viewpoints away, you can't have both.
Because God wills the highest and the best for you as a believer, only when you receive that highest and best do you glorify God.
God's will is for you to glorify Him!
God's will is for you to withdraw from your escrow account as many blessings that He has provided for you, as you can.
God's will for your life is for you to have the most phenomenal blessings that He has tailored just for you including a life that is to be free of guilt.
The reason is just plain old negative volition toward doctrine. It takes perseverance and positive volition toward doctrine.
Why are you here?
You are here to glorify God!
"How can I glorify God?"
Glorifying God demands understanding!
Unless you're a cosmic believer and you reach the point of divine discipline and become a loser.
It is to give you prosperity in the midst of all adverse situations.
You glorify Him when you live in that plan and receive all the blessings He has designed for you!
God had a reason for all He has done for you in your and this reason gives purpose to your life.
God does not depend on us for His pleasure or His glory.
God doesn't depend on us for His pleasure and glory but instead He expresses His pleasure and glory toward us by blessing us.
ACT 20:35 "In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Because God is to be glorified, you and I are the beneficiaries of His blessings and divine provisions.
God is not glorified by our system of human works but is glorified by meeting our every need.
PSA 50:15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will glorify Me."
JOB 36:11 "If they hear and serve Him, They shall end their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
1. MAR 12:30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. '
2. COL 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
3. ECC 9:10a Whatever your hand finds to do, verily, do it with all your might;
12. There will also be a supernatural work of preservation in the Millennial age through the King, ISA 41:8-14; EZE 34:27; Joel 3:16-17.
EZE 34:27 "Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
Joel 3:16-17">JOE 3:16-17, And the Lord roars from Zion And utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a refuge for His people And a stronghold to the sons of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through it no more.
13. There will be no social, political, or religious oppression, ISA 14:3-6; 42:6-7; ZEC 9:11-12.
ZEC 9:11-12, As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
14. There will not be any of the tragedies of mental illness or of infant deaths, ISA 65:20.
15. The earth's population will soar and there will be sex. Children will be born to the believers who began the Millennium and will have a sin nature and therefore need salvation, JER 30:20; 31:29; EZE 47:22; ZEC 10:8.
JER 30:20 'Their children also shall be as formerly, And their congregation shall be established before Me; And I will punish all their oppressors.
JER 31:29 "In those days they will not say again, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children's teeth are set on edge."
EZE 47:22 "And it will come about that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst.
And they shall be to you as the native‑born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
ZEC 10:8 "I will whistle for them to gather them together, For I have redeemed them; And they will be as numerous as they were before.
16. There will exist a perfect economic system (e.g. no unions) in which the needs of men are abundantly provided for, ISA 62:9-12; 65:21-23; JER 31:5.
JER 31:5 "Again you shall plant vineyards On the hills of Samaria; The planters shall plant And shall enjoy them.
One of the blessings that go along with the right-man right woman blessing is finding the right job or your niche in life as ECC 9:9 teaches.
ECC 9:9 Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life, and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
17. There will be an increase of solar and lunar light. The increased light probably is a major cause of the increased productivity of the earth, ISA 4:5; 30:26; 60:19-20; ZEC 2:5.
ZEC 2:5, 'For I,' declares the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.' "
18. There will be a unified language. The language barriers will be removed so that there can be free social intercourse, ZEP 3:9.
ZEP 3:9 "For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
The serving Him of shoulder to shoulder reveals the unity that exists because of the one unified language......which will more than likely be Hebrew but that's just my opinion.
These eighteen manifestations of the kingdom of our Lord's righteousness reveal that at that time the majority of the world will unite in the worship of God and God's presence will be experienced as never before.
There will also be our Lord's fulfillment of the four unconditional covenants or promises including the conditional covenant from the Old Testament called the Mosaic Law.
1. The Abrahamic Covenant 2. The Palestinian Covenant 3. The Davidic Covenant 4. The new Covenant
All the world will unite in the worship of God and God's presence will be experienced as never before.
The Millennial age is to be the age when divine righteousness is expressed to mankind as never before.
All outward sources of temptation must be removed so that man will demonstrate what he is apart from satanic influence, and that is man is totally corrupt regardless of environment!
It is also evident that there can be no perfect environment apart from the personal manifestation of TLJC.
The whole age depends on His return to the earth as promised Because of His presence: the curse is abolished, death is overcome, the evils pertaining to fallen man and fallen nature are removed, and great blessings are obtained.
1. Mankind cannot be satisfied without a personal relationship with TLJC. 2. Believers can use B.D. and remain faithful even in prosperity.
Environment is not even the basis for happiness! It is the individual's soul that counts, not the environment.
We noted the Edenic dispensation under the first age or dispensation of the Gentiles and we've noted how they failed.
We noted the antediluvian age, before the flood, under the dispensation of the Gentiles and how mankind failed, i.e., operation flood.
We also noted the postdiluvian age under the dispensation of the Gentiles in which we saw mankind once again fail in the Tower of Babel incident.
We noted the dispensation of Israel and how the Jews totally failed no matter what the Lord did.
In the first Christocentric dispensation we saw how TLJC came unto His own but His own did not receive Him and how they failed.
The Church-age began and the word of God teaches that even in that dispensation most believers reject the lordship of TLJC and they fail.
Another dispensation, the Tribulation begins with God using Crisis evangelism to warn people but they still reject TLJC.
Finally perfect environment is given for 1,000 years. The question, will mankind respond to the Lord then?? The answer...no!
Illustrating that without a relationship with TLJC mankind is an implacable, frustrated, miserable, ungrateful, hard-hearted wicked individual.
"There is none good, not one". Amen, so be it. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly. Praise God. Alleluia. Praise Jesus and His word. Amen
