MATTHEW 7 21-29

     🍃🕊️01/22 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

21 - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. but the one doing the will of my Father, who’s in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘But Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons in your name? And do many mighty works [dunamis - power, strength, ability, might, miracle, energy, works] in your name?’ 23 Then [tote - then, at that time] I will say to them, ‘I’ve never known you, depart from me, all those working lawlessness.’

     24 Everyone then who hears these words of mine, and does them, will be like a wise person who built their house on the rock. 25 And when the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, it didn’t fall, because it had been founded and built upon the rock.

     26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish person who builds their house on sand. 27 And the rain falls, and the floods come, and the winds blow and beat against that house, and it falls, and great is the fall of it.” {Surely? history and life as we presently know it - the - crucible, this slow gehenna burn and fade, that separates the chaff from off the kernal of wheat. The dis-ease as part of the cure ..and immunity. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?}

     28 When Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 for he taught them as one with certainty [exousia - authority, power, right, jurisdiction, dominion] and not like the scribes.
