Matthew 23:15-Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
When the object of your affection has truly been discovered, then a natural transformation of one's pursuits will be initiated. A natural, unhindered focus will be unearthed from the depths of common place, and your Divine Vitality will be awakened to give you an incredible experience with God, His Principles, and His Plans that were placed in you before you were ever born. How tragic it has been however, to have this truth so close, but yet so far from our comprehension, discernment, and accessibility.
It is possible to be in spiritually vibrant places that do not point the way to the Kingdom. It may point the way to Heaven, but not to the Kingdom in Matthew 23:15. For "Heaven," men will lie and obligate themselves to works that has produced no transformation. For a life that exist apart from hell, men will give forgiveness without truly forgiving, or bless without truly blessing. But the Kingdom is an entirely different situation. The Kingdom will truly expose the attraction that you have allowed yourself to become truly vulnerable to. For you cannot have the Mind of Christ unless there is a drawing to it, an attraction to it, given by the Father.
No, this isn't predestination of who's going to be in heaven and who's going to be in hell. We have been conditioned to think in a religious manner that seeks to determine the occupants of everlasting places. No, this determines the attraction of men's pursuits. The Love of the Heart will determine the acts of life. The attraction of the Spirit will determine the endurance that defeats mountains, valleys, and death. But where attraction is not known, power will also not be known. The Kingdom is not about Sunday Morning participation, but the revealing of the thing that causes men to participate daily in the establishing of personal possibilities and one's Divine Focus of Life.
Whatever I love the most I will imitate the most. You were designed to imitate the Life and Nature of God in Ephesians 5:1-Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children. We were designed to imitate God and not the concepts of the world, nor the concepts of religion. Imitating God is the highest form of true worship for it reveals the true value of one's lifetime, and not one's spiritual preferences for the day. Worship is not a song. It is the interpretation that defines the pursuit of the pursuer. It is what God has interpreted our pursuit to be of Him. Wherever true adoration has been found, mountains will be cast into the sea.
