0134 Poor in Spirit

Poor House

God is looking for a house not an apartment or a hotel?

Heaven & Earth is not God’s house as much as you (Is.66:1-2)

God’s house is the place of God’s rest not yours

Poor in spirit (Mt.5:3) will possess the kingdom (Mt.5:3; Mt.17:21)

Poor in spirit grace “salvation” is offered to (Luke 4:18)

Your poverty is your true wealth

Revelation 3:14-22

When you live in God’s house you increase, when He lives in your house He increases

Poor in private will result rich in public

Problems make you poor in spirit

Allow your problems to throw you in the house of God ~ prodigal son

Don’t allow your success to throw you out of his house ~ kings of Israel

You cannot stay in His house if you are rich, He cannot stay in your house unless you are poor

You are required to remove your furniture if God is to live in your house

Remove “wealth” and become poor “empty” – stop comparing with past and others or else My Kingdom will not live in you

Zacchaeus, I am coming to your house

Israel, I am coming to your house – prepare the way of the Lord

Temple removing furniture and establishing prayer “fruit of poverty”

You are required to remove your furniture for God to bring His

I do not want us to burn during fire - gold “grace”

Wooden & chocolate house melts in the face of problems – live lived by what you see not by faith (1 Pet.1:7)

Disciples didn’t melt in the face of problems because they weren’t with Jesus, but Jesus was in them

Pressure, impossibilities, silence of God, giants – more than conquer, love of God, all authority is given to God

Joy after beating, worship in jail, peace of God, no murmuring, complain and etc.

Without faith you cannot have God over (Heb.11:6)

Gold melts but not burns – makes you more meek but not weak

I do not want to meet you naked - garments “righteousness” (Phil.3:9)

Garment is what gives the first impression and attraction

Garment is what covers the body

Food is what feeds the body not the garment

I do not want to meet you blind - salve “Spirit illuminated eyes” leading of Spirit – no poison, bruises, confusion

Eyes is your leader

Simeon had the salve – saw Messiah when He was a child

Pharisees were blind (cause of lukewarmness) – didn’t see Messiah when He was an adult

Rhema and Logos: sword of Spirit, belt of truth

Are you miserable “lukewarm”? Inward wealth is the root of it – because it doesn’t allow the King to live
