Who is fit to enter into the Reign of the Heavens and spend Eternal
Life with Abba
YHVH?
Many a man has convinced himself that he is fit to enter
into His Reign, and can recite his numerous accomplishments here on
Earth to backup his claim.
These accomplishments might include how well he has served
his church, his community and/or his family.
They might also include the many “blessings” he believes
he has received due to his good works; wealth, a nice house, new
cars, vacations to far away places, etc…
Some might even mention their spiritual life; the time
they spend in prayer and reading Scripture.
While these are all noteworthy accomplishments in the minds of men,
do they really make one fit for the Reign of the Heavens?
If your heart will allow, let’s look at what our Loving
Daddy has to offer to all in this matter.
Mattithyahu 18:1-6, 10 At
that time the taught ones came to
Yahoshua,
saying, “Who, then, is greatest in the reign of the heavens?”
And
Yahoshua called a little child to
Him, set him in their midst, and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless
you turn and become as little children, you shall by no means enter
into the reign of the heavens.
Whoever then humbles himself as this little child is the
greatest in the reign of the heavens.
And whoever receives one little child like this in My Name
receives Me.
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in
Me to stumble, it is better for him that a millstone be hung around
his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
(10) “See that
you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that
in the heavens their messengers always see the face of My Father who
is in the heavens.”
Mark 10:15 Yahoshua
speaking
“Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the reign of Elohim
as a little child shall certainly not enter into it.”
Our creator knows a man’s heart, for He created him.
A grown man’s mind having been polluted with the vile
teachings of men and having searched after the works of the flesh;
adultery, whoring, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery,
hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions,
dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties and
the like, is incapable of even acknowledging His Name, let alone
seeing Him as the Loving Daddy that He is.
When confronted with His Simple Truths as found in Scripture, the
grown man is quick to rebel against those Truths that do not suit
him, offering up excuses for why he knows what is better for him
than does His Creator.
The Torah somehow does not apply to him, or his
interpretations of Scripture lead him to believe that He changed His
Torah. This man is mocking
Abba
YHVH with his
behavior, effectively calling Him a liar.
Perhaps this man’s heart has truly revealed to him
what is best for him?
The mind of the child has had much less exposure to the stumbling
blocks of man-made doctrine and the works of the flesh.
As such a child’s heart, unless it is rebellious from the
womb, will be inclined to be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient,
kind, good, trustworthy, gentile and self-controlled. As a child, we
are always searching for someone to follow, who will lead us and
love us, who will hold us accountable and offer us correction when
needed. Someone who we can talk to who will listen and truthfully
answer our questions.
Someone who will have a firm, yet gentile, grip on our
hand as he shepards us through life’s ups and downs.
Someone on
whose lap we can sit and gaze into his loving eyes, with the
reassurance that he will always be there for us.
As a child, we simply want to follow and please are daddy!
Although we can find some, or perhaps many of these attributes in an
earthly father, there is only one who can truly fill this role
perfectly, our Heavenly Father,
Abba YHVH!
A child’s heart is perfectly capable of hearing his Loving Daddy’s
Voice, and accepting His Simple Truths as found in Scripture.
If this were not so,
Abba
YHVH would not
command us to come to Him as little children!
We are reminded in Mattithyahu 21:16
…’Out of the mouths of babes
and nurslings You have perfected praise’.”
To argue that a child is incapable of understanding His Word as
written in Scripture, and incapable of deciding whom to follow, his
Creator and Loving Daddy
Abba YHVH,
or the father of this world, s@t%n, is to despise this child and
blaspheme the Set Apart Spirit who guides this child into all Truth.
Luke 12:10 Yahoshua
speaking “And
everyone who shall speak a word against the Son of Adam, it shall be
forgiven him, but to him who has blasphemed against the Set Apart
Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.”
Nothing is hidden from
the face of Abba
YHVH.
