Headline: Ecclesiastes 3:9. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10. I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

So you say you want to find God and learn the real truth! No man can find God and learn the real truth except by invitation from the Father. An invitation from the Father is not an altar call from a preacher in a church. That is a call from a man to join a church and learn the doctrine of men.

Matthew 11:25. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Jesus said, “Few find the way”, because Father calls only a few from among men in each generation to teach them about Himself and what He has proposed for His family. God never planned to reveal the great truths to all men while they remain slaves in spiritual Egypt (this world). But all men will learn their spiritual heritage when they leave this world and enter Heaven, the real “promise land”.

Isaiah 46:3. Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: 4. And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Psalm 147:4. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Isaiah 48:13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

In the meantime before men are “called” to rise from this earth, He has given us “roles to play” while in this life. Some play roles as “vessels for unclean use”. These persons will be victims of demonic control all their lifetime on earth. Men call them “sinners”, when they are really “prodigal sons”. A few men are good “vessels for clean use”. These will be those called by the Father to purge their ways, to learn of Him, and to exhibit righteous conduct.

2 Timothy 2:20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Romans 9:18. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20. Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21. Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23. And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24. Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

“My sheep hear my voice and they follow me”! When Father speaks to a man from above, He has many ways to get that person’s attention. Saul of Tarsus was “knocked on his rear-end” and Father got his attention. Samuel heard a voice calling his name when he was a little boy under Eli’s care. Some hear a voice and feel an urgency in their heart causing them to seek upward, not laterally toward human preachers. When Father calls a man, that man knows it is not another man calling him. He directs his mind above to the Source calling him.

Philippians 2:13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Once Father has His student’s attention, He teaches him and directs his path.

John 3:27. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Matthew 20: 4. And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

Matthew 11:27 … and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

John 6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 14:23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

To learn of God one must be invited to the Feast above. One’s head (mind) is in Heavenly places. And cares for this world and its offerings become secondary. If you look at our Headline, it says “He has set the world in their hearts so that men cannot find out the things of God”. We are advised us to love not the world.

Luke 14:16. Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17. And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

In the above parable God sends His angels to bid men to sup with Him. But look at the excuses men use to put off these holy spirits. The world is set firmly in their hearts as well as the cares of this life. That true Supper occurs in Heaven. All men in every generation eventually get a call to participate face-to-face. But few men in this life sup with God and still abide among men. Those few who do sup are totally under God’s control and He manages every aspect of their thought and conduct.

1 John 2:15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Matthew 6:19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 15:16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

To find God one must “get the world out of his heart” (mind) and that is not an easy task when Father “set the world in their heart”. The truth is He must purge the world out of the student’s heart. It is written:

Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord

Proverbs 16:1. The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

Psalm 37:23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

John 6:65. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Psalm 119:99. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 101. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 102. I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

Since Father weighs and measures hearts, He knows when a person has “searched for Him with all his heart”.

Amos 4:13. For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, the Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.

Jeremiah 17:9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10. I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Those who make God the treasure of their hearts and purge the world from it will find Father right there … in their mind. That student will “have a telephone in his bosom” and he can go in and out of the Door (Jesus) and find (pasture) spiritual food. Angels assigned to him (holy spirits) will lead him in all truth, Obadiah 1:21. These “few” are the ones who actually keep the First Great Commandment making Father their treasure and number One in their life. There is a caveat to this. They must love all men as they love themselves, and that is the Second Great Commandment. If you want any man burned in hellfire with devils for any reason, YOU DO NOT MEASURE UP! It is because you do not want to be burned in hellfire, yet you want that for your brother enslaved by devils. You will not be taught by the Father with such a flaw. You will have to purge your heart of that defect. When it is gone, Father will know it.

Glorify God!
God did it!

He makes us Priests & Kings....and this process of being MADE is only for those who OVERCOME in this life (for you first have to BECOME a son before you can be made a Priest, as seen in the type/shadow of Old Testament Priesthood that points to the more glorious Melchizedek priesthood)....and b/c many within christiandom do not want to walk,live, or pursure HOLINESS & OBEDIENCE they will miss out on the GLORIOUS REWARD of the Heavenly calling of being made a priest after the order of Melchizedek.

One thing I have learned...salvation is a gift for ALL...but His rewards are for those who OVERCOME.

Shalom.
