I thought I knew you

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

 

Will of my father…

Will “Gods desires”

Father… you are his son or daughter

In Heaven…. What is Gods will in heaven… are you doing it?

 

So you can have power, miracles, wonders, cast out demons, prophesy and still go to hell.

 

So there is a way to use Gods laws and design to get supernatural things done… but if you don’t know the father or his heavenly will… it is of no value. 

 

You can even confess him as Lord and still not know him… the verse says they call out to him LORD LORD…

 

Here is what is concerning to me. You can call him Lord, you can prophecy, you can perform power and miracles, you can cast out demons… and still no be doing the will of the father NOR actually no him. 

 

But here is the key in verse 24

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Jesus while on earth says there are those who do not know the Father… and then he says If you hear me… If you know me and do these things your life and work will be saved… you can do all those things… but they won’t save your life. No matter how amazing they are… what will keep you through the storm is hearing and knowing God.

Why is this so important - because in todays world we are flooded with images and media of people who have the “Goods” quote un quote… but that doesn’t tell us if they actually know God. Better to know God, than to only know his power.

Work on your relationship with God and the work of God will take care of itself.
