My righteousness IN you always flows with acts of goodness and kindness toward others. Goodness and kindness cannot be contained in one vessel, it must flow outward to others. In doing so, My kingdom blessings will be manifested in the lives of My children so that acts of goodness and kindness will be perpetuated. Jesus said that your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, meaning that My character and personality that is produced in you is more loving, kind, peaceful, good, merciful, joyful, patient and in self control than the people who practice their piety before other people with the purpose of receiving praise and recognition. When your goodness and kindness are from a joyful, humble heart, then you are accessing more and more of My blessings because you have used the keys to My kingdom where blessings are stored for you. Jesus delivered the message to My children that their previous methods of worship were not per My instructions but were per the instructions of the religious priests. He said that praying in public is not My desire for My children because prayer is communion between you and Me, not for observers to see in order to praise you for your religious acts. He said that those who pray in front of people get the reward they desire from people, which is to appear righteous to others. He said to beware of that. Your righteousness must be greater that that. He said to go into your room and pray in secret and your Father who hears in secret will reward you openly. Even under My old covenant with a nation, priests went into the Holy of Holies to pray, not in front of the whole congregation. Jesus said instead of giving to others and telling about it, that you should not let yourself know what you are giving so that you will not be inflated with pride. He said fasting is not supposed to be so that others will know that you are fasting, which the hypocrites do. He said instead of putting ashes on your face that you should wash your face so that others will not know that you are fasting and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly. He said not to judge others, as the religious people do, because the same judgment comes upon yourself. He said to judge yourself by discerning the evil in which you are participating. He said if you judge others that you are giving permission to the demonic spiritual dogs who will turn, rend you, doing to you what you have done to others. Jesus said that when My righteousness becomes your righteousness that you will ask what you will and it WILL be done to you. He said that when you seek Me that you WILL find Me and that My heavens will be open to you when your righteousness exceeds that of the hypocrites and Pharisees. He said that when you hear His instructions and do them you will be like the man who built his house on rock and when bad things are happening to other people because of their fake religious piety that you will not fall but you will be blessed because you have learned from My tutoring and become My image in the earth. Your Loving, Good and Kind Father Matthew 5:20-26; Matthew 6:1-7; Matthew 6:16-18; Matthew 7:1-28.
