Seek God with all of your heart only then, he will be found (Jeremiah 29:13). God cannot be found or dwell in you, if it is not your desire (to seek and want him with all your heart & mind) to fellowship with him always. God is not a “thing” that you can “use” or “think of” temporarily, only to discard him later and return to him when you are in need. God is a divine living being, a deity-the omnipotent one, the creator of all things and the sustainer of all things. You must diligently learn to walk with him and commune with him always. You must learn to let him fill you with his ways (found in his Word); For He cannot lead you or bless you or become real to you, if you only seek him for what he can do for you but not for who and what he is. He has requirements, He has personality, He has a heart and a mind that we must all strive to seek and understand, so that we can always learn to be submissive to his plans and purposes for our lives and for the entire creation itself. Trust him today, seek after him as a friend and a father and allow his ways (his word, his plans) to govern you and lead you. Only those who have developed this “lifestyle” or “relationship” that is dependent on God as their all, with no need of dependence or allegiance to their own flesh or to their own ways/plans, belong truly to God (Romans Chapter 8 AMP)
God will be real to you, only if your true treasure and central focus is on Him and not on mammon (money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord). In Greek the word mammon is “mammōnás which means “treasure a person trusts in”. That’s why in the amplified version of the Bible, it reads mammon-money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord.
Matthew 6:24 AMP declares
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].
If you haven’t found God today (the true living divine being and are guided, protected and counseled by His living Spirit) in his purest form of love, power, wisdom and life, then what you have within you is religion, a mimicry of what is true and real. You have clothed yourself in religion and convinced yourself that you are in God but in all reality & truth, your God is your own belly (your worldly appetite, your sensuality, your vanity)
Philippians 3:19 AMP declares
Whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things.
The word belly over here means worldly appetites, sensuality and vanity. You become living beings that serve yourselves only, rather than God when you reject true fellowship with God. Your plans, desires, appetites and lusts become priority above everyone and everything else including God and his ways. Satan in-fact revealed this lifestyle to Eve in the garden of Eden and told her that she will no longer serve God but will start to serve herself (being god herself) once she rebelled against God.
Genesis 3:4-5 AMP declares
But the serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.”
Being a God to your belly, you will oppose everyone who does not serve your appetites, your will or your desires and will persecute those who preach or teach otherwise. You will redefine what right and wrong is and be only led by your own desires and lusts. You will live and believe doctrines that only suits and compliments your sinful/selfish lifestyles. You will reject God’s opinions or established precepts and definition of what right and wrong is. You will look for a church that highlights these false doctrines and teaching (of the self) promoted by Satan and won’t fit in a true church that promotes the true plans and purposes of God.
Friend return to God today, humble yourselves before Him and resist the plans and false doctrines of rebellion (against God) that Satan offers. Be a true child of God, fellowshipping with the true living Holy Spirit and supporting the right anointed church and spiritual authority (leader) that God has put over you.
Hebrews 13:17 AMP declares
Obey your spiritual leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you.
