What Will Satisfy You?

Hello I think that is the best goal one can set for one's life, Thank you

Only God can satisfy. As Paul said; you are better than life itself. Kern

My heart went to three scriptures as I read your beautiful article. Romans 12:1(Amplified Bible) 1I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. John 4:22-24 (The Message) 21-23\"Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem. You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. God's way of salvation is made available through the Jews. But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. 23-24\"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.\" Matthew 6:33 (Amplified Bible) 33But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. The whole essence of our living should be to worship (our daddy who craves for a more intimate relationship with us as opposed to what we can do for him) and to present our lives as a living sacrifice that is constantly pleasing unto God. But unfortunately, we find ourselves reversing Matt 6:33 and constantly pursuing after things that should be pursuing after us when we seek God first and his righteousness and and allow his whole being overshadow ours. Like David also said in Psalm 63, God's loving-kindness is better than LIFE itself. God help us all and we can only get better when the truth finds its roots in our hearts. Thanks for sharing Michael. I'm always encouraged by your articles and my heart craves to worship God with everything that lies within me. Love always, Eskor

Very good, Mike. Oh that we act like JESUS, for we are Jesus walking this earth, doing what Jesus would do if he were here......doing what He did when He was here. Only by the Holy Spirit's power can we accomplish this. Thanks for the encouragement to spend time with Him.

Michael. thanks for this thought and verse. it also struck me how many of my brothers just expect to wake up one morning with His likeness. Just the Spirit's miraculous transformation with no effort or discipling on their part. blessings, bill

Amen --That is the best business bottom line that one can have! That is the goal, but as Bill says, it can't happen just like that --one has to submit and sit at the feet of the Master daily and learn to listen to His heart and share His joys and sorrows and then be set aside and go through the wilderness walk etc etc.... Then, and then alone will God gill His with all we require to be in the likeness of His Son.... Blessings Patricia

Mr Pink. Thank you so much for this email. Now I have a new long & short term goals. This is incredible! God bless & keep sending me emails they are very encouraging. Katina Charlotte, NC

What a great reminder for all of us. The focus can easily get on getting the \"win\" and what else can I go after to create revenue. But, the Father's presence always supersedes those things and puts all into perspective. Ah, that I may seek him first and rest in him!

I, too, am on that journey. Long ago God gave me the verse in John \"if you believe, you will see the glory of God.\" And then later, and repeatedly, \"But we all, with open face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are being changed into His image.\" So every day I tell my spirit, \"Worship the Lord\". Since my spirit has to do what I say, and since we are only changed by being in His presence, God is working it in my life all the time. It is a life-long journey, but He says, \"seek ye first....and all these things will be added\". If I believe His Word, and I do, then, as I set myself to remain in His presence throughout each day, I am being changed. I like That!!!

Absolutely! I desire to be so intimate with my Father that I waft the fragrance of Christ everywhere I go - in my home, in my business, in my church and social activities. Thanks for your inspiring words each day!

Blessings Michael, etal, The Word of the Lord is transforming. As you talked about with Zig Ziggler it's not only about having information (which IS key to the next part) it's about the transformation. I love all the tools I get from you and other words and THE Word that I recieve but alas they are only tools on my belt until I pick them up and go after the \"thing\" that I have obtained. We need to resond to the word with follow through. I ecco what others say. . . it's about relationship it's about being with Him. You know when the teens are good friends they start looking like eacg other they reflect the appearance of the \"group\" they hang with. I want to look like, from the inside out the Love of my life Yeshua my Jesus!! Thank you again. feeling the tectonic plates shifting in my heart and life Darla \\o/

I heard today about a pastor who said - \"You want what I've got? Just hang around me - it will get ALL over you!\" Isn't that true for our Heavenly Father and the Lord as well as we spend time with them in reading their revelation to us, and praying over it. What dominates our thoughts, dominates us.

amen. it was so nice to read this for this morning. it has been my desire for sometime to be one with Christ as He is with the father. your comments about moses and the passage of scripture are so refreshing to hear. so often christians get so caught up in scripture, debating it intentions that it becomes a hopeless exercise in their knowledge and the desire of our Lord just gets lost. thank you for your insight, i have enjoyed each one.

AMEN AND AMEN!

Ditto! These emails are such a blessing and the insight each person shares is invaluable. I've learned so much more than I contribute - Blessings to all!

Yes how wonderful, just what I am striving after, I have moved forward in my Christian life so much more and feel so much closer to the Lord since working a 12 step spiritual programme. Thank you everyone and especially Tami, I reiterate your sentiments entirely

I will love to join you. I am determine not to rest until it happen. Thanks for the reminder. Peace

Once again, I want to thank all of you for your kind, thoughtful and uplifting comments. I get strength and life from your words!

Excellent passage and commentary! Thanks!

This is what I long for also, thank you for sharing this in a powerful way.

Thank you for this Michael I am very aware of my walking closer with Jesus every hour of every day hopefully and keeping in close communication with the Holy Spirit, like Tami I want the sweet fragrance of Jesus to permeate all that I do and all those around me Blessings Helen

Yes He is all because He is GOD. Nothing else and no one else matters. Only Him. He is glorified in us and through us. We will live to the praise of His glory. Be blessed

This is soooo....True!! Let HIM be ALL you Desire and He will give you the Desires of your HEART!
