Luke 17
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed,the kingdom of God is within you."
One of the reasons I wrote “The Circumcised Heart of Love” was that I needed to redirect my focus to the most important personal attribute an “aspiring” overcomer should have. I find that all of Christiandom focuses on just about anything else. We were created by Love, the universe was created by Love, and our restoration to Our Heavenly Father was achieved by Love going to the Cross.
Observing the Feast Days is good but if the focus is always on the outward without regard for the inward then we have missed the mark. During the days that Jesus walked the earth, the priests were still carrying out the rituals of the Temple. The Son of the Most High God was walking in their midst and they were oblivious to it. By focusing on outward events and signs, you will miss the point of Luke 17:21- The Kingdom of God is within you!
Jesus spent much time in prayer and he had greater revelation than any of us. That ought to tell us something. “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” We must guard against this unfruitfulness that Jesus spoke of in Mark Chapter 4.
Think not that when the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is fulfilled on a corporate basis that it will be any different than when the Day of Pentecost was fulfilled in that the disciples had been focused at a personal level on the spiritual things that Jesus had taught them. After the Resurrection, They all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication in the Upper Room. This is what ushered in the Day of Pentecost.
Will you be one of those who usher in THAT GREAT DAY when glorification occurs? It will also come by prayer and supplication. The flesh must be circumcised from around our hearts. This will be done by focusing on Love and its infinite attributes. As we focus on Love, our fruit will be a witness to the world. If you have no fruit, change your focus.
