PASSIONATE PURSUIT...HUMBLY WE COME

​Matthew 5:1
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
What does is really mean to be poor in spirit?
The Lord desires for us to be humble meaning always carrying the desire to do his will and to do his purpose, not our own. To be poor has a notation meaning to not have much of something. Therefore, if we are to be poor in spirit, we are compared to a vessel that has been tilted in the heavenlies and used to pour and is consistently pouring what the spirit has deposited. Therefore, we are never full of ourselves but constantly pouring upon others and the reward of this obedience is the kingdom of Heaven. Freely he has given and freely we ought to also give just as well.
            The Lord says that there are certain requirements to enter the kingdom of Heaven. We must enter as a child.
Matthew 18:3-4
And said, Verily, I say unto you, except you be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble themselves as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, the Lord says to please him we must come to him humbly and teachable. The Lord says that spirit is ever so willing but the flesh is weak. We must place our flesh under subjection to the spirit to receive the teaching of the spirit. For the spirit will teach us all things, the very deep things of God.
I Cor 2:12-14
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak, no tin the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can we know them because they are spiritually discerned.
