Psalm 19:1, 4b-5

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shews His handywork. … In them has He set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy [which is found when one seeks God, His Law, and His Testimony]; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 8:19-20

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

In other words, why are you looking for the living God among the dead - through wizards, sorcerers, magicians, astrologers and horoscopes, fortune tellers and their tarot cards, glass balls among other things. Why do seek you the living among the dead?

Seek God, seek His face, seek His Word, His Law, His Testimonies for they are many.

Praise ye the Lord!

Psalm 105:4 - Seek the Lord, and His strength: seek His face evermore.

Psalm 107:8-9 - Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

Ephesians 1:3-4 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:

Ephesians 3:14, 16-19 - For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 4:11-12, 15-16 - And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; or the perfecting of the saints [even through correction when necessary], for the work of the ministry [to teach and instruct], for the edifying of the Body of Christ [to build up the body to make it stronger]: ... speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him* in all things, *which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

The Body of Christ is built up into ONE as each member does their part in supplying that which is needed for its edification (the building of it).

The Body's Head is Christ – He is the brain, the guide for the whole body – therefore it stands to reason for the Body to be named of Christ. We are instructed to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Doing this we will all have the same goal in mind, not each having different ambitions and aspirations but all being mindful of the same things as one in Christ.

Blessed be God who chose us for this purpose – that we would be living, breathing examples of the Love of Christ in this world;

Ephesians 1:3-4

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

⁴According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

but if we hate our brother, then is the Love of Christ NOT in us. For God is Love.

Ephesians 3:14, 16-19

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁸May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Therefore, dearly beloved, it is imperative that we take heed to God's Word and not take it lightly, it is not to be taken for granted, or tossed aside and picked up whenever we choose.

If we truly are followers of God, then we must behave as though it is something we deeply care about. He must become our one TRUE LOVE.

In this, is the only way we will be able to express it:

If we are truly living in Christ's Love from day to day.

2 Peter 1:19-21...We have a more sure Word of prophecy, If Christ's Word is in us and we are seeking Him.

The more we do what He tells us, the more of His Light will shine within us. It will be as though the day dawned and the sun (Day Star) has risen in our hearts. We must know, first of all, that the prophecy of scripture, has no private interpretation. When God speaks, He speaks to us clearly. If He uses a parable or a dream by which to speak and we do not understand, then we must seek Him for the answer.

We must never try to manipulate what He says in order to serve our own purposes (or change them to what we would like them to mean).

Wait for Him to show you. Ask Him to open your understanding that you may know fully what it is that He wants you to know in that time.

Remember, God works in steps; one step after the other – All of them are causing us to be filled with more of His glory as we continue to hear Him and obey His instructions.
