The Psychous Drive To Survive

When you receive the Seal God will give you psychous Life. But you need to give up your life in this world in order to find your psychous Life--the Life of your soul.

When you are sealed you put Jesus first. Usually you will want to, since He is the One who has blessed you so much. And when you do not want to put Him first, you force yourself to.

You put Jesus before your parents and your children, before your spouse and brothers and sisters. You put Jesus before your friends and neighbors, before your heroes and anyone else you love.

Jesus comes first so you will be found worthy of Him. And you must be worthy of Jesus to be sealed. Because if you are not found worthy of Jesus, He could take your crown away. And you do not want that!

Judgment Day is coming. And if you claim you were sealed you have a great advantage. You claim you belonged to God. Indeed, you accepted Him when He claimed you. And you advertise it.

Judgment Day can always become a challenge too great for you. Everyone faces this. Everyone has enough imperfections to fear God when He looks closely at your life. But you think of Heaven.

To live the psychous Life you think of Heaven. Because when you think of Heaven you are putting to death your thoughts of how you will survive and prosper in this world. And you must put to death those thoughts.

The only way to be given the psychous Life is to put to death the old way of thinking and feeling. And it is not always so easy--the old way is the natural way. It is natural to have the desire to survive.

And most people have drive toward much more than survival. Most people have many goals and dreams they work toward every day, even if it is just owning their own house and providing for their children.

God does not require that you stop doing these things. But He does require that you stop focusing all your thoughts and feelings on such worldly or earthly ambitions, for that is all they are in the end.

It is not easy, because we consider it instinct to want to survive. You do not have the instinct to want to go to Heaven. So you need to develop a new drive for a new kind of survival. And God can help you with that.

God only sets the Seal on you because He desires a people for Himself. He only gives you psychous Life because He wants to have your companionship for ete
ity. But you have to fight to keep that Life.

When you lose your life in this world you gain your psychous Life. And if you save your life in this world you lose your psychous Life. The psychous Life is the Life of the soul, the same Life you may live for ete
ity.

It is natural to save your life. So you fight nature every day when you are sealed. But it does get easier. You can replace your "instinct" with a heavenly propensity toward Life and you do not struggle as much every day.

God has promised you much. And you must fight the battle to accept those promises and realize them within yourself. But if you do fight you will be rewarded with the ultimate reward when you are sealed--the psychous Life of your soul.
