Why Did Jesus say : Depart from me, I know you not

Matthew 7:21-23 NLT

[21]  “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. [22] On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ [23] But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

Matthew 7:23 (MSG).....Knowing the correct password—saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance—isn’t going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our super-spiritual projects had everyone talking.’ And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here.’

 

Thank God

February 16

THANK ME for the conditions that are requiring you to be still. Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be active again. Some of the greatest works in My kingdom have been done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to Me.

Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of My Presence with you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving Me. Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms. My Strength and Power shots themselves most effective in vorakness.

Building Walls....

I was reading my blog and was looking back on old post and i clicked on  the 29th of January 2023. Over three years ago

I can remember that day now. I wouldn't have if I hadn't had written about it. (Something just popped into my head. Two weeks ago Robert Harvey was saying about how Alison his wife came across some old pictures and she says she could remember that day, but Robert says she didn't until she came across the pictures)

If we hadn't have seen the pictures we might not have remembered that moment. Seeing the pictures brought that memory of that moment to the front of our minds.

That's why I like taking pictures and journaling about good things that's happened in my life, because then we are  reminded of it and we don't forget them.

So back to my story in the blog. There was a picture of a book someone gave me at church a lady called Marion. She sits right at the back of me. So I went to see if I still had the book.

I opened it randomly at page 63 and something struck me , it says "BEYOND THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK". 

I wasn't sure what it meant so i started to go through the book and i found on 

page 21 "TRIUMPHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK"

page 18 " LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK" .

It might be in other pages but i just stop there because i wanted to know about what "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK" meant. While i was searching on google, this video came up called " THE WALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK"

Trailer to book...https://youtu.be/X_zeRNiEot8?feature=shared

 I started to laugh because why was all these things coming up about walls. Because even  the theme we are doing at Church is about Nehemiah " BUILDING WALLS".

So I went and lay down to meditate on all I have found and asked the Holy Spirit what was he trying to show me....

And here it is : The full film and the moral of the story. https://youtu.be/dlxE-aWzFoc?feature=shared

The moral of "The Wall in the Middle of the Book" by Jon Agee is that preconceived notions and fear of the unknown can create unnecessary barriers, preventing us from seeing the truth. It teaches that the "other side" isn't always dangerous, and breaking down walls leads to connection, safety, and a better understanding of others. 

Overcoming Bias: The knight assumes his side is safe and the other side is dangerous, representing prejudices that create "walls" between people.

Challenging Fear: The "terrible" ogre is actually kind, demonstrating that fear of "otherness" is often misplaced and that we should not trust our misconceptions.

True Security: The wall actually leaves the knight vulnerable to the rising water on his own side, suggesting that isolationist, guarded mindsets can be more dangerous than openness.

The "Other Side" is Fine: When the knight crosses the wall, he discovers a, "fantastic," and welcoming place. 

The book encourages readers to overcome fears and prejudices, suggesting that our perceived "dangers" are often harmless or even helpful.

Exactly the message on Sunday. But i also liked what janette said about. Yes we need to pull down walls BUT!!!! We need to build some were need. And when I was meditating on this all. God showed me were i was to build some walls and what ones to pull down .
