Walking in the heavenly realms Part One
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6
It does not take more than just a causal perusal of any morning’s headlines to be made aware that our world is in desperate trouble. Jesus warned his disciples and conversely through them all true followers of Jesus that these days of darkness and fear would come. The word of God tells us that the last days of human history would be punctuated by natural disasters, wars between nations, and kingdoms with differing world views in collision with one another.
Modern life today in every nation and country in some way or another bears the evidence we are living in those days. In such a day as this, can we have hope in our hearts for the future, and from what source would it come.
I would like, today, to take all of us back a little over two thousand years ago to a Judean hillside where a Jewish prophet and son of the living God addressed the crowd of followers and curious onlookers who had come to hear him speak. They never reckoned with the wisdom and authority with which he spoke.
On that Judean hillside he delivered the message which has come to be known by the world at large down to our day as the Sermon on the Mount. I should like to extract a single comment from that magnificent message and make it the center of our focus today. In a world torn by war, famine, lost faith and fear this message is more applicable to our day and the heart seeking for answers than ever before.
He or she that hungers and thirsts for righteousness shall be filled for this hunger of which Jesus is speaking begins in the human heart. The implication of the words that Jesus spoke of here is not just the normal desire to feed and drink but rather to be filled with a hunger and thirst for righteousness on the same level as in human terms would drive someone who is in the process of dying of starvation and thirst.
When we become consumed with a hunger for righteousness on par with the desire of a starving man would have for food we shall be filled.
With this writing today I am beginning a new work on walking in the Spirit with Father God, and his son Jesus Christ, facilitated by the Holy Spirit. I am a prophet called by God to walk in the heavenly realms. Yet in my heart of hearts, I believe Father is calling to all true followers of Jesus Christ to come to him in these troubled times.
I shall have more to share about this in the days ahead but to get where we are going we must start at the beginning. It all starts with a hunger for what Jesus called righteousness. This is nothing less than an internal hunger to know Father God. I would ask you dear reader does your heart hunger and thirst for Him? He is waiting for you.
If you do not know him ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you for all the sins you have committed and make him the Lord of your life. You have his promise that such a heartfelt declaration shall bring you to him and you will enter a new world of eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on your behalf.
To others who already know him, and your heart is yearning for a new higher revelation of our Lord and God, let us begin a new journey dedicating our hearts to him with a renewed vigor as we begin a search that shall take us to our destination a revelation and inward vision of the kingdom of God.
