I just asked the Lord: Would I go to heaven (if I would die right now)?
The Lord: "Oh yes of course! There is nothing to be fulfilled or nothing that must be kept anymore. It is all already fulfilled and all already been kept!" Oh Hallelujah!!! Thank you my lovely Jesus!

God created Human Beings Part 2

It is not wrong and not bad or sin, it is just what has been placed in the core of who we are meant to be. Now after you have accepted this truth you can come before your Creator  and ask him to fulfill this needs like only he can do!
He is the one who created you and only he knows exactly how and what you need. We were created for meaning, significance and purpose. Even in the Garden of Eden where it all started, God already entitled the first human being and gave him meaning, sense and purpose for his existence.
He had an occupation a position a title. There is nothing wrong with this, it is not pride. Real humility is not to beat yourself down, slap your head and not realize who you are in Christ and wandering around with your head down saying: “Oh poor me,  I am nothing and no one.” This is actually hidden pride!  And it is like you make God a liar! Because you stand against what he says you are! 


I am alive with Christ!
(Ephesians 2:5)
I am free from the law of sin and death!
(Romans 8:2)
I am far from oppression, and fear does not come near me!
(Isaiah 54:14)
I am born of God, and the evil one does not touch me!
(1 John 5:18)
I am holy and without blame before Him in love!
(Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:16)
I have the mind of Christ!
(1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5)
I have the peace of God that passes all understanding!
(Philippians 4:7)
I have the Greater One living in me; greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world!
(1 John 4:4)
I have received the gift of righteousness and reign as a king in life by Jesus Christ!
(Romans 5:17)

Acknowledge and know who you are and who God is. That he is Potter and you are the clay!
Now it is important how you deal with your desires, needs and longings and who you turn to.

Because of the fallen Nature of Mankind and because we live in a fallen World and we are born as sinners, because of one man´s disobedience, we are disconnected from the one who called us to be all of that and more. But praise God for Jesus, of one man´s obedience we are made righteous! Through Jesus all sufficient sacrifice on the cross over 2000 years ago, we can now be reconciled to God and our life becomes full of joy and purpose. We are called to rule and reign in and through him who was, is and is to come, Jesus Christ - the Christ, the Savior, the Messiah!

A need and desire that is not met or fulfilled can become very dangerous because, it will lead you to desperate behavior and an unhealthy, unbalanced lifestyle especially without God in your life. It will lead you to destruction. Without God our life is empty and meaningless. We are lost and desperate, empty.
We will always try to fill us with things or people that cannot meet our deepest longings because this is not what they or we were created to do!

This is when we become self-centered, egoistic and selfish. When we live a life without  God, we will live a life without meaning, we can only leave our good prints if we walk in and through the one who gave his all for us.
He gave his life on that cross of Golgotha. He gave his life for a reason. He gave his life for you and me. He gave his life for the forgiveness of our sins and to be reconciled with our heavenly father.
We are now as born again spirit filled believers and followers of Jesus Christ:

- Forgiven - Righteous - Justified - Saved- Holy -

Forever changed in an instant by one sacrifice and our decision to receive his free gift of salvation!


Definition: Justification means to set something right, or to declare righteous.
Definition: Righteousness is the state of moral perfection required by God to enter heaven.
Definition: Forgiven as so as we have never sinned. Past, present and future sin cancelled forever.

"So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith."
Galatians 3:24

"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" Romans 5:9

"Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses." Acts 13:39

"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin."
Romans 3:20

"He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross."
Colossians 2:14

"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!"
Romans 5:9

Your value, worth and Identity is not depending on your circumstances or things nor people. God created you with value and you are precious to him - he really loves you and yes, just  as you are. You will never experience a deeper and profounder love then God´s Love for you. No man, no woman no human being or animal could or will ever love you with the everlasting Love, like he does. He longs for a very personal, individual and deep relationship with you.

Religion is dead. Religion is the attempt to please and reach God and salvation, but real faith in God is a loving and real relationship to the living God. He is not dead. The Bible is not a rules and law book, but a LOVE LETTER to those who believe. Religion really is the opposite of what God is and intended it to be. Because he is alive or better he IS life! He is the source of all life.

“Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:31

“For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you--for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.”
Zechariah 2:8

We are called to encourage and lift up and praise each other. We are called to care for each other and carry the burden with our brothers & sisters . We are called to love one another like he loves us. We are called to tip each other off to who we really are!
We are called to cry, laugh, sing, dance together.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35

"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
1. Thessalonians 5:11

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
Hebrews 10:23-25

“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2

“[Suffering for Doing Good] Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.”
1 Peter 3:8

It is the same thing with the need in us to worship something or someone. We are born this way. God put a whole in us that only he can satisfy and a desire to worship. When we meet God we know that we were created to worship him.

Discerning False Prophets
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them. But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception.

Loving One Another
 

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
 

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
 

Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
 

And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
 

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 
We love each other because he loved us first.
 

If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.

God created Human Beings Part 1


"So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.


And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have
dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."


Genesis 1:27-28 (ESVUK)



Meaning-Significance-Purpose
We all do have this needs in us and that´s fine! And guess who placed this inside you?


We all long for purity, holiness, wholeness and perfection. Guess why? Because we are meant to be like that!!!
We are meant to live a fulfilled and meaningful life and that is why we do feel frustrated and meaningless without purpose and sense in life when we lose this.
We need to know who we are, what we are here for and our importance our significance.
Independent of who we are or where we come from and what we have done or we are doing right now, we are people of significance. People who are born for a reason, there is a higher purpose and a meaning for our existence. We are here and it is as real as the air we breath. We are here and this alone confirms we are not a coincidence or an accident!


We are valuable and we are precious in the eyes of the one who created us, the creator is not mad at you but madly in love with you!
We were created for the Glory of God, to reflect his image and his nature and his infinite Glory. He is not measurable. He is endless so time cannot contain him! Don´t try to put God in a box trying to controll or limit him, it is impossible so it would be a waste of your precious time. Why don´t you try to let everything go and relax and let God do his work?

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16 (ESVUK)
Well if this does not confirm the fact that we have a calling and value in us I don´t know what else?!

In general there is nothing wrong with having this needs in us and it cannot and should not be ignored. We all long for acceptance, love, value, affirmation, status, titles, success, properity. Because this is how we are made.
