Matthew 5:1-7:28

What God said to me – Seek Me.  Seek Me.  Seek Me.  That sums up how you need to live your life.  Seek Me.  “I AM” all you need or will ever need.  “I AM” your ultimate resource.  I will provide everything you need.  I will teach you everything you need to know.  Come to Me daily and let Me teach you.  Ask Me questions when you don’t understand, and I will explain My truths and show you how they apply in each situation you encounter.  I did nothing without first learning from My Father.  Let Me teach you what it means to live life that way.  Seek Me . . . hear from Me . . . obey Me.  Spend time with Me and I will teach you how to live like this.

Matthew 3:1-4:25

What God said to me – “It is written” – that was My response to temptation.  But not just to temptation but to everything I ever encountered.  My word has the answers for life and My Spirit is your teacher.  You must spend much time reading, studying, and asking questions.  As you struggle through and wrestle with the difficult passages, I will teach you.  I will shine My light so you can see and understand.  As you do this, it will become a part of your very life.  The things you do and the things you say will be said and done in the light of what you have learned from Me.  I want you to learn to lead an “it is written” life where everything you say and do is based on My word.  To so this, you must know My word.  To know My word, you must spend much time in it.  Devote yourself to My word.

Matthew 2:1-22

What God said to me – Those who earnestly seek Me will find Me for I will show Myself to them.  Do you earnestly seek Me, or do you come only when it’s convenient for you – when I “fit” into your schedule?  If it takes much effort on your part to come after Me, will you still do it?  I show Myself to all, but only those who earnestly seek Me will find Me.  I’m not just speaking about the lost, but about Christians too.  For the most part, even My own children are not willing to spend the time to find Me, to know Me intimately. To those who do, I will reveal Myself and speak to them as My friend.  You must learn not to obsess about the “stuff” that you think must be done.  Seek Me first and I’ll take care all of that.  Come spend time with Me, My friend.  Let Me show Myself to you.
