I give the glory to GOD glory to GOD THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR TRUTH Amen ! Hallelujah!!!!!! The difference between asking and seeking, and between receiving and finding, is that in the first heaven you ask for things and receive things, but in the second heaven you seek for God and His Kingdom and you find the Lord Himself. The line is drawn between these two realms in the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-33. “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for the body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye need all these things. But seek ye the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” May the blessed spirit of Truth give understanding to all who read these lines! The Gentiles seek. You mean they don’t ask? No, the Gentiles don’t ask for things. The heathen don’t ask for things. The unbeliever doesn’t ask for things. Why? Because it is in their nature to seek things. “After all these things do the Gentiles seek.’’ Sons of God, on the other hand, do not seek things. When they have need of things they ask - and receive. God graciously and generously gives things in response to asking. What divine simplicity! But the heathen do not know this wonderful privilege of receiving simply by asking the heavenly Father - so they seek, search, pursue, and actively strive to acquire “things”. They devote themselves to it. They work at it. They expend all their time and energies for the acquisition of things. How busy they are! They burn the midnight oil and work themselves into the grave in the pursuit of things that perish with the using. Children of the heavenly Father, who know God in the First heaven, learn to ask their Father and their Father delights to give them everything. I don’t mean they don’t work - but they rest in their work for they have found God as their source. But the unbeliever knows not the heavenly Father. The man outside of God does not come boldly and confidently to ask the Father for things, therefore he moves in another principle and seek things. Any of you that are in the business world know what I’m talking about. That’s what this whole “greed” economy is all about. All the push and shove and dog-eat-dog mentality - I will trample everybody in my path, I will use everyone I can, I will cheat, lie, abuse, grasp and scratch to get to the top. The salesman who convinces you that you need something you can’t afford and don’t even want - do you know what principle he is working on? You’ve got a dollar and he’s seeking it! The whole spirit of the economic system of the world is based on the “greed factor,” and it’s the principle of seek things at any cost. So Jesus says that the Gentiles seek things because they never learned about asking. They have never been translated out of the lowlands of the earthy into the first heaven of spiritual experience. If you’re in business with God, you’ve got it made, my friend. You don’t have to push, shove, sweat, misrepresent, lie, cheat, use hard-sell tactics, take advantage and all the rest. But those outside this Kingdom are busy burning the rubber on the road trying to make it by seeking things. Hear now the word of the Lord! “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE A-D-D-E-D UNTO YOU.” Here is the law of the second heaven: “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD...and all these t-h-i-n-g-s shall be added unto you!” Oh - I like that law! I love this second heaven!
