so actually you have to realize that
when Jesus said who is my father mother
sister brother he that does the will of
our Father in heaven his father mother
sister brother he meant it literally and
when people say I would love to go home
to God but I've got all these
responsibilities for all these dream
figures this one and I got that one over
there and that one there and I'm feeling
all heavy and weighed down I'm sad I'm
depressed I'm guilty oh come on let's
look at where is that sadness and
depression coming from even duties and
obligations you know when Jesus and the
Bible said honor thy father honor thy
mother how could you really honor them
except through forgiveness if you try to
honor them in any way except by
forgiving them I mean seeing the false
is false you will have an idol you will
make a graven image before the LORD thy
God
you have to really I mean really put God
first if God created the eternal and
your putting value in the temporary then
it's basically saying to God hold off
there you know I'm not quite ready to
say yes to you and be one with you I'd
rather tinker around with these fake
images a little bit longer
no you're you can do that you won't be
happy but you know you're you can
attempt that but there's still a huge
level of denial going on there because
you've been called by God to wake up and
you prefer to sleep now what we do is we
say okay we want to move in the right
direction and that direction would be to
start to take the focus off of the body
and how can my thoughts my mind energy
my focus how can I pour my heart my
emotions into something that will bless
the whole that's what made Jesus
different seemingly from the sleeping
human
as he wanted to know what is God's will
for me whatever you're going to allow
yourself to be used for is going to be a
blessing for the whole it's not going to
be serving some tiny self-concept it's
not going to be personal because what
Jesus calls us to do is for the whole
universe so when we're smiling when
we're smiling for the whole universe
when we're laughing we're laughing for
the entire universe there's only one of
us and and what I tell people is if
you're happy the whole universe is happy
because there is no universe apart from
your mind and where you're depressed the
whole universe is depressed and in terms
of prayer whatever you want you want for
the whole universe because there's only
one of us so if you want a Snickers bar
the whole universe wants a Snickers bar
because there's only you there's only
your mind and when you put God first
above all else you've done that for the
whole universe you've just done the most
glorious thing you could ever do by
putting God is number one in fact that's
the Creator why wouldn't I want to put
the Creator number one
