Entering the Kingdom through suffering

(Not what you think)

#PrepareEquipNow

Equipping Day 12

The Spirit of God spoke to me and said: "We will enter the kingdom through many sufferings."

Then the Spirit of TRUTH, begun to explain to me, according to the character and the nature of God, what He meant?

Quickly, before you read the rest of what was explained to me, by the Spirit, think what this statement means to you?

By the Spirit, God begun to reveal the truth to me: We have much to learn to totally escape the authority and power that the enemy has over us...

Why does the enemy still have so much power over us? Because we have NOT fully accepted the full impact of the completed price of the cross.

We suffer because the enemy still has some kind of a hold on or over us, because we have NOT fully accepted the place of authority that we would have had, IF we has understood what God the Father, in His great love for us, has accomplished through Jesus Christ. (Col 2:14-15)

IF we had understood and accepted the implication of what was included, in what Jesus, demonstrating the love of the Father, has accomplished for us and as us, then the promise Jesus made, saying: "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over ALL the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. (Luke 10:19) would be fully fulfilled in our lives. We would be able to walk in a place where the church of Jesus Christ CAN NOT be harmed. This proves that we have somehow NOT believed the actual intention of Jesus' words, which He made and promised to ALL who believed Him, saying: "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father." John 14:12

Many thought that He meant that they needed to believe in Him, merely accepting Him as their Lord and Saviour, but Jesus' Words to those who believed in Him, proves what He really meant, saying: "IF you abide or remain in MY WORDS, then you will be My disciples or true followers. THEN you will KNOW or experience the TRUTH. (John 8:31-32) THEN the INTENDED EFFECT of the TRUTH, will set you free, giving you the authority and power to accomplish EXACTLY what Jesus had promised.

Therefore, WHY do we suffer? We suffer due to ignorance. "My people perish, because of a lack of experiential knowledge," firmly relying truth in the Word of God, leading to experiencing the ACTUAL POWER of God’s Word, which He promised those who trust and believe in Him. (Hos 4:6)

As wrote this, the Spirit of God, suddenly reminded me of a dream, which I was given the same night, May 2, 2020, showing me that this was what the Spirit wanted to explain to me, which is also the interpretation of the dream.

In my dream, I was in a dark unknown haunted place, which also felt like the moon. In my dream, I knew I had to leave this place, it was a dangerous place to be. I was driving Jeep Pajero. As I looked at how I tried to escape this evil and scary place, a small white one can came charging towards me vehicle and blatantly crashed into my vehicle. In my dream I knew that the intention of this man, crashing into my vehicle, was to damage my vehicle to the extend that I would not be able to drive and also somehow get entangled with it, making had from driving and leaving this off limited area.

As I looked I saw how I tried, making use of brute strength, nearly driving over the small white one car, tried to pull myself loose from this totally crash car. To my surprise this small white Uno car was totally crash and written off. I also saw that there was NO driver inside the car.

Suddenly, I was able break loose from this crashed car and drove off, returning to my and known area and my house.

Then I myself, also knowing that I was in danger from being in this place, knowing that I had to get out of this place, realized that I would not be able to get out, unless I fly out of this place. I did not know how to get home and in which direction to go.

Then, turning away towards the opposite direction, knowing I could fly, just started running. Then, by faith I jumped up into the sky to fly. I immediately begun to take off. It was a familiar experience, which I have had in former dreams, where I learnt to fly. Not looking back, I kept my focus on God, knowing that He would carry me home. As I continued to focus on trusting in God, I felt how I picked up speed and flew with great speed out of that dimension towards home. It was as if I had to get to sound speed, in order to overcome a barrier, before I could back out of the gravity and pull of this place.

Suddenly, like reached like light speed. I just rested in complete trust that God would take me home. In a blink of an eye, I arrived home. I saw my parent's house when I arrived. I came flying around the back, coming in the back door. Perfectly landing at home.

Satan came to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10) All killing, stealing, destroying and trauma, due to suffering and frustration, comes from Satan. We must also remember, that darkness, is by default, ONLY the absence of light. Darkness only EXIST due to an absence of light. Due to ignorance, religion has taught us many things, getting us entangled in the affairs of the law. (Heb 12:1) The law of Moses was given to make sin obvious. (Rom 7:7) When we sin we are traumatized and suffer for having not understood what Jesus has done and HOW He has set us completely and utterly free from the power or ability of sin. (Rom 6:11, Rom 8:10, 1Pet 2:24) Take a child, to whom a loving parent says: “Do not touch that stove plate!” When the child does not listen and wonder why the parent told him NOT to touch the plate, and do to his own ignorance, touches the plate while it is red hot, will experience great pain and even damage to his hand.

Sin should NOT have had any power over us any more, making us fall into it, making us feel guilty because of it, (Rom 8:1-4) causing us to be separated from God, (Isa 59:1-2) Who has and WILL ALWAYS continue to love us. (Rom 5:6-8) This separation, causes shame and fear of rejection, from God, to come upon us, making it hard for us to be able to believe that God loves us with an everlasting love. (Jer 31:3) This separation results in great suffering on our part, just like Adam and Eve, after they ate of the tree of death, lost their place of perfect harmony with God, being exposed to the harsh elements of fear, hunger, loneliness and rejection, unable to accept that God love them - subjecting them to intense suffering, they learning to appreciate what they did have in the perfect, pure, unconditional love of God. Now Eve would suffer and Adam would in hard labour have to produce what they freely had in the garden of Eden. (Gen 3:16-17) Even the earth would be cursed and be in frustration due to the sin of man, now having to wait in labour pains, until the Son of God came, to set us and so also it, free from the curse. (Rom 8:19-21)

Thus, we suffer under the consequences of how sin has separated us from God. God never turned His back on mankind, but due to the deceitfulness of sin, (Rom 7:8-11) we have believed that God has rejected us. The more we, through brute strength try to keep the law, the more we become entangled in sin and the more difficult it becomes to believe we can escape from it and return to God. We become like a fly trapped in a spiders web. The more we try to free ourselves the more we become trapped or entangled in more webs, due to our own doing. Thus, the law of the power of sin, continue to keep us enslaved under it, we finding ourselves remaining under the rule and the power of the kingdom of darkness.

The scripture says: "For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it–[yet] with the hope [Eccl. 1:2.] That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children [sons]." Romans 8:20-‬21 AMPC

Paul tell us: [But what of that?] “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us! For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].” Romans 8:18-‬19 AMPC

There is ONLY ONE WAY to escape the hold and the gravity of the full implication of sin. (Rom 7:24-25) We need to say no to TRYING to please God by, trying to prove to God that we are good enough. (Rom 3:20-24)

We need to forcefully say NO and decide to STOP working to perform to return to God. (Gal 3:4-5) Then we need to change our mind (REPENT) or perspective of God and decide to trust and believe that He loves us unconditionally, OVER our shortcomings and even iniquities. We need to turn away from thinking this way, putting our trust fully in God, knowing He WILL return us home.

Yes RETURN us home! We are NOT going to a place did not already come from. We were God's children, we came from God and are, just like Jesus, only returning back home. (John 3:13) Home is the kingdom of God. (John 3:5)

Why does God loves us so much? Because of our value in His estimation of us. (Matt 6:26) Adam and Eve was made in His image and after His likeness. (Gen 1:26-27) It is easier to return to where we came from, than to get stuck in an unknown place where we are NOT from or belong. (Col 1:12-13)

It is because of THIS kind of suffering to overcome, being deceived by our fear that God would reject us, that our faith is refined like silver in a furnace, until WE, are able to see our IMAGE of God again, as as the apostle Peter explains:

“Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. 6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed. 8 Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy. 9 [At the same time] you receive the result (outcome, consummation) of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1Peter 1:3-9 AMP

Let us return to God, the Father, our Creator, Father our our spirits, from Whom we came, His beloved sons and daughters, Who loves us, STOP believing the lie about ourselves, knowing we can completely trust Him with an overwhelming surrender, in His loving arms that are held out us to pick us up and receive us into His arms, welcoming us back home, in His kingdom, where only His Love and Light rules, giving us perfect security in the bosom of our Father in heaven.

Glory to God, our Father, who loves us and HAS released us out of the claws of sin's deceitfulness, so that we could also enjoy all that He promised, those who believe in Him.
