Sealed and called

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:3-14)

Faith will cause you to know and follow the truth to obey and do what is righteous.    Truth and logic are fruits of faith. The disobedient tend to lies and hypocrisy. The humble hear and are glad.  The prideful   disdains,  falsely accuses and fights the truth.  Logic from the Greek is logos, to reason idea word, to speak.  The Lord spoke his word to us and when we believe and obey  he seals us and we are beloved by him. Yeshua says, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)”. We then become inheritors of the kingdom and sealed by YHWH. The Lord said “my sheep hear my voice My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (John 10:27)”.

Once sealed it is important for the Saint of YHWH to live in “the knowledge of the truth.   “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (I Timothy 2:4)” and beware of those not walking in the knowledge of the truth having a of lack of hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying and having corrupted hearing, non active hearing.  “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (II Timothy 3:7)” . Careful and active hearing of the Word is important for Spiritual growth. Hearing and doing the truth and righteousness causes the Lord to have respect for your sacrifice.  Observe the acts of Abel and Cain when they both offered sacrifice to YHWH.  The Lord had respect for Abel’s sacrifice and did not have respect for Cain’s, meaning he gave his blessed attention to Abel’s sacrifice but looked away from  Cain’s.  A purified sanctified clean life without guile and sin is your sacrifice. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. (Psalms 34:15-16)”.  I want His eyes on me always!

Without the Holy Spirit, man is open without protection from the seed of wickedness.  Man is born in sin.  The carnal spirit prevails in his thoughts and actions despite any works of kindness, charity or any good deed, the enemy has full access rights to his spirit.  Those who are born of the Spirit, born of the Holy Ghost are born of the seed of YHWH and are citizens of the kingdom of YHWH with all of it’s rights.  The Saint (a Holy Spiritfilled believer) must still be aware not to  listen to the spirit of the enemy or yield their members to his spirit.  We must always be aware, watching and praying to follow the lead of the Holy Ghost who is our comforter on this journey through the wilderness of this age.  We learn from the scripture that a spirit can rise up in an individual that is not filled with the Holy Spirit and that person will go as far as committing murder as Cain did.  Cain was envious because YHWH had no respect (he looked not on) Cain’s offering.  Subsequently an envious and murderous spirit rose in him and he killed his brother. The enemy will cause people to put a label on you to dampen your faith.  Know who you are and humbly be you.  It is a tormenting thing to have something of value whether of mind,  spirit or natural and to not possess it. It will cause you to be lost in a wilderness but Yeshua gave us an assurance, the comforter to lead us to the promises, victory in all aspects of our lives, abundance and eternal life. The anointing, the seal.

You must understand that the enemy is always looking for an opening and there is no space to be lax in the walk of faith.  His greatest weapon is deception,  he lulls the complacent into a sleep then he devours them into religious state and sometimes into apostasy.  “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (I Peter 5:8)”.  One reason why it is difficult for the rich/prosperous to enter into the kingdom is because many people stillthink thatgain is godliness.  Theyrelish with pride because they are wealthy or seemingly, not knowing they have been lulled into spiritual complacency.  Many that struggle to stayabove financial depression are kept occupied with trying to stay afloat that they allow a spirit or fear and worry to saturate their minds pushing out of their thoughts the words of assurance and promises of the Lord.  Yeshua powerfully and explicitly assured us that we are covered and sealed if we occupy correctly until he comes,   “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 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 added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:25-34)”.

The Lord has sealed the faith walker with his anointing by the blood of his anointed, he has established you and carved a path for your success.  Stay focused, keep your eyes on the prize and you will have victory in ALL aspects of this abundant life that Yeshua as purchased for you.
