One Word: Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. I want to speak to you on today about trusting God with everything that is happening in your life on today. He has the answer for you. The Lord began to speak to me about the {POOR IN SPIRIT}. We know that the scripture speaks boldly that we should seek the Kingdom of God. Well the word BLESSED means to be Happy and here Jesus began to teach to the multitude, which many consider Matthew 5:1 is the {B} ATTITUDE which stands for BLESSED. We know that Jesus spoke and said Blessed is the man, I truly believe that Jesus looked out into the crowd and saw that many was poor in spirit. The word POOR means: lowly, afflicted destitute, powerless, hopeless, miserable, shame, humiliating, inferior, wretched, unsatisfation, low in health, cowardly, abject to be debased and degrading. This spirit works with the mind and heart and it controls and tamed. But the word of the Lord says in ISAIAH 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made,and all those things have been,saith the Lord; but to this man I will look, even to him that is POOR and of a CONTRITE SPIRIT,and TREMBLE TH AT MY WORD
As Jesus began to teach,{this has nothing to do with monetary things of wealth} this is speaking of the spirit of man. When someone is low in spirit, they fall into the sensible of their sin which is darkness, and cannot see there way out, for darkness keeps you from knowing the truth. Jesus said in his word I will in no wise cast you out, because of his word. A contrite Heart; is a Heart of remorse, guilt and a desire for atonement, penitent one who acknowledges that they need Jesus in their life and repent of their sin {TURN FROM THEIR WAYS} Jesus was speaking of his KINGDOM, letting them know that there is a better way. ST.JOHN 6:47 Verily, verily,I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath every lasting life: verse 48 says I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE] for their is a Kingdom of Heaven.
What does kingdom means: Ruler Royal Power, Kingship Dominion, Having Right Authority to Rule over a Kingdom TERRITORY; this is why Jesus began to teach about the Kingdom. Jesus has given us the Keys {binding and loosing} Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven. JESUS is our King and we are his Children. Everything the King has, is ours to have in the KINGDOM. All we have to do is ask Jesus to come into our lives, fully and let him live through us each and every day [we shall walk in VICTORY EACH EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES]
