BLESSING HARD FOR RICH MEN TO OBTAIN

My Dear Precious Child,
   After Jesus told His disciples to allow children to come to Him because their angels are always looking upon My face in heaven, after He left that place a man came up to Jesus and asked Him what good deed a person needed to do to possess eternal life.  Jesus answered him the same way He always answered the Pharisees.  He asked the man a question.  He asked the man why he asked Jesus, Himself, about an essential deed?  He told the man that I am the only Good Being and that anyone who wants to enter into Life must keep all of My commandments, to which the man asked what kind of commandments of which Jesus was speaking.  (Matthew 19:16-17)
    Jesus answered the man by quoting some of the ten commandments given by Me to Moses, such as not to steal, not to kill, not to commit adultery and not to bear false witness, which is lying about someone.  He also added to honor his mother and father and loving his neighbor as himself.  (Matthew 19:18-19)  The man told Jesus that  he had always done all of the commandments, even since his youth.  He asked what he lacked?  (Matthew 19:20)
    There was no questions from Jesus relating to the man's perfect behavior, but instead Jesus told the man that in order for Him to be perfect that he should go and sell everything that he owned and give the money to the poor.   (Matthew 19:20-21) Jesus assured the man that if he gave all of his money to the poor that He would have riches in heaven, if he became a disciple of Jesus.  Unfortunately for the rich man, the price was too costly for him.  He could not sell all of his possessions and give the money to the poor.  The man left the presence of Jesus Christ because he was very rich and was not ready to give all of his riches away.   He was secure in his own riches but he was doubtful about the promise of Jesus.  Jesus told His disciples that they had observed what he had taught to them, that it's very difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.  (Matthew 19:22-23)
    As often happened, the disciples of Jesus Christ were disturbed in their thinking.  They quizzed Jesus, asking if it was possible for anyone to enter into the kingdom of God.   Jesus assured them that with people it's impossible but with Me, it's possible.  (Matthew 19:26)
    Then Jesus told His disciples a little bit about their own future.  He said that when the Messianic age came into reality in the world, which was what He had been teaching about when he taught about My kingdom of God, he said that His disciples would have special places in it because they had remained loyal to Him.  He told them that the disciples would be part of executing My righteousness in the earth because they would sit on thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.  The judgment would come upon Israel because they failed to recognize Jesus Christ as My Son, the executor of My Salvation for the world.
    Jesus spoke about the rewards and blessings which were to come into the lives of the disciples.  He said that anyone who had left houses, family, children and lands for His sake would receive a hundred times over in their lives in the earth and that they would also inherit eternal life.  Jesus proclaimed that the first would be last and many people who were last at that time would be first.  He was talking about the Gentiles, the pagan people who were without a God.  Jesus was saying that the pagans would follow the gospel of Jesus Christ and they would end up being the first people to enter into My kingdom of God but the people of Israel would be the last to enter.
     The teaching of Jesus Christ about My kingdom of God which was soon to come into the earth heralding the Messianic Age was getting closer and closer.  He had to do His part in the scenario by being crucified, dying, going to hell, taking back from the devil the authority to the earth that I had given to Adam and Adam had given it to the devil.  Jesus had to be raised from the dead by the power of My Holy Spirit and He had to ascend into My heaven to sit down with Me.  Then He was going to send My Holy Spirit to live inside of people, allowing Me to become Lord of the earth through the Holy Spirit who would live inside of human being  just like He lived inside of Jesus Christ.  It was through those people that My temple in the earth would be the same as it was during the earth walk of Jesus Christ.  (I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17-18)  I would live inside of them the way I lived inside of Jesus Christ, which was in the person of the Holy Spirit.
   The time was getting close for Salvation to come to the earth and all people.  A new heaven and a new earth would emerge and all things would become new.  There would be great rejoicing on the day of Pentecost when My kingdom of God would come into the earth to be enjoyed by My children of promise.   My Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus would live inside of other human beings, giving them authority over all evil that is in the earth.  It would be a day of great rejoicing, being repeated over and over in the earth when human beings became My spiritual children by virtue of My Spirit living inside of them and exerting My power over evil when they pray in My spiritual language of heaven and cast demons out of the earth and into the fiery pit that I prepared for them.  (Matthew 13:236-43) 
    Your Heavenly Father of Marvelous Promises
