Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

This parable to me is clearly speaking of the most valuable treasure there is, Jesus Christ. He is the pearl of great price. Nothing you have to give up is too great to have this pearl. He is more valuable than all the riches in the world, and if you desire to have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God, you can only obtain that through Him. Jesus Christ is the only name given whereby we must be saved. No matter what it costs you, it will be worth it all to obtain the pearl of great price.

Notice in the language of beauty , THE LORDS WORDS , that they sold all , rejoiced .
Now look at what the Apostels were losing and yet were gaining a greater knowledge of HIM in what they were losing . They lost freedoms and were put in prison , YET REJOICED . They lost all respect and honor and where whipped like dogs , YET REJOICED to be counted worthy to suffer shame for his name . Paul stripped and in prison , REJIOCED and said , BUT I have all and I abound . TO lose the things and mindset , and what things the world see as gain , FOR CHRIST , IS TOTAL GAIN . THE LORD is THE TREASURE and may all count that cost deeply and see that to live is CHRIST and to die is only gain . The LORD will work on each of His sheep to ensure a stronger faith by a closer walk and a fuller trust in HIM . LET THE sheep of HIS PASTURE take all things pateintly and remember that all things that come against us , GOD will work together for GOOD to those who LOVE HIM . SO we better remember what it means TO LOVE HIM . Because it never said for those who love HIM NOT . IF a man loves me he will keep my commandments . HE will be a hearer and a doer of the word . IF a man loves me not , YEAH HE DOES NOT SUCH THINGS . Deceiving themselves , hearers only and not doers , thus not LOVING HIM but rather SELF . We better embrace the TRUE CROSS , EMBRACE JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED . For there is no embracing jesus and sin . That is a fairy tale . WE must learn HIM WELL . GET FAT and FED UP IN THAT BIBLE . For many deceivers lie in wait , and lead over many , and they have and do deceive many .

That's right butero . THE LORD , IT IS HE WHO IS OUR PROSPERITY and EVERY WORD of HIS is to be chosen rather than silver or gold . The LORD is THE TREASURE and the HOPE of all who do TRULY BELEIVE IN HIM and FOLLOW HIM . The end of the one who follows the LORD , heeding the SPIRIT and not the flesh , being a hearer and a doer and remaining in HIM , heeding the supply of His grace to the end , IS A MAN that shall sing praises ON THE DAY of the LORD . But one that heard and yet did not , WILL HEAR I NEVER KNEW YOU , depart from me hearer only for you deceived your own self . And many will wail on that day and say BUT LORD why did you not warn us , why did you not send men and HE WILL say , I DID , You had bibles , and when men came and told you things in those bibles , YOU CHOSE TO FOLLOW AN ACROYNM YOU chose to attack and say THEY TRUSTED NOT IN ME , AND YET THEY TOLD YOU WHOSE WORDS . Folks we better return to bibles and get sharpened up . FOR THE WORDS of GOD do sharpen us BUT BEWARE for the opinions of men only DULL the one who sits under them , till they are uselss and asleep .

God is still raising up men and women who are sounding warnings. Look how many there are right here that God sent to message boards to warn the sinful saints. Letters or 4L or 2f. He is falsely accused and silenced. I warned them, was falsely accused and cast out. Candance brought warnings and was falsely accused and rejected. You and Cletus bring warnings and are falsely accused. They will be without excuse. God sends prophets before judgment comes.

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

What are the things we hold onto that we think are of more value than the pearl of great price? What sinful pleasures are worth more to us than our soul? Everyone needs to think about that. A million years from now, while being tormented in hell, were those things really worth holding onto?

Todays generation will say , YOU are using HELL FIRE to scare folks . YEAH . WELL SO DID JESUS , SO DID JESUS . Even said its better to cut off , pluck out ANYTHING that causes you to sin , than to be delivered into hells furious flame and be tormented. That is something that needs to be said from time to time . Because deep down in the core , it is so true . EVERYONE who rejected JESUS or followed a false jesus , WILL have nothing but time and torment to regret that choice . As over and over again it just goes on . FOLKS , WE BETTER MAKE FOR SURE AND FOR CERTAIN that calling and election is sure man . WE BETTER KNOW it is the ONE TRUE and ONLY JESUS WE ARE LOVING and FOLLOWING . And guess what . WE CAN FIND OUT ALL WE NEED TO KNOW IN THAT BIBLE . WE got no EXCUSE none . SO that's the graver side of things . OPEN THEM BIBLES and read and just keep reading and flee the pulpits of any men gone wrong . NO rick warren books , none of these new and popular books . BECAUSE rest assured , IF ITS POPULAR among many today , ITS ALL THE WRONG STUFF . PONDER ON THAT ONE FOR A BIT . Because I seem to see folks in love with all the wrong books , but in no way do they hunger and love that BIBLE the same . THEY can decive themselves like they do . BUT IF they did , IT WOULD BE what they read and not rather these empty dead end books that have sold like hotcakes amongst the youth and even older generation.

I only say it , because I don't know you as well . So don't get upset . I just wanted you to be encouraged in case things like this might bother you . But if they don't . Good .
