Mathew Chapter 7 provides us The Six Keys To Spiritual Success; and some very useful Principles To Live By.

The Six Keys To: Spiritual Success.

In Mathew Chapter 7, Yahweh-Hushua Himself gave us [ exactly ] ' Six Principles To Live By '... and, once properly understood, these can truthfully be The Keys To Our Spiritual Success... but sadly, however, few of us heed any of them! Why don't we take a look at These Principles To Live By - with an: Open, Honest, and Spiritually Led Mind? Or, as The Scriptures [ themselves ] would say:

" Doing so: In Spirit [ Open To Yahweh's Own Leading ] and In Truth [ And, Honestly Accepting Whatever We Might Find ]. "

- who knows, We Might Actually Learn Something Very Important?

The Six Principles To Live By:

• Don't Waste Your Time Judging Others - Start Looking Inward.
• Ask, Seek, And Knock - Question Absolutely Everything.
• Never Follow The Crowd - They Are Usually Wrong.
• Outward Action Indicates Inner Thought.
• Seek The Father's Will - Rather Than Your Own.
• Build Upon The Solid Foundation Of Scripture.

Like His disciples, many of us still want to know: " Who Is The Greatest In The Kingdom Of Heaven? "

Yahshua Loves His Children.

In the middle of Yahshua's Earthly Ministry, the disciples came, and asked Him a [ seemingly ] simple question: " Who Is Greatest In The Kingdom Of Heaven? ". In fact, by now, we should all know this particular story - which is quite readily found in Mathew Chapter 18. But, do we ' Truly Understand ' this Timely Message, as He fully-intended that we should? Considering, what we've done to our own children, I personally don't think so! But, why don't you tell me?

In the meantime, however, let's just take a good hard look at these passages from The Scripture. After all, we should all be aspiring towards Personal Greatness; and this [ seemingly ] simple question is, indeed, quite relevant to all of us....

" Who Is Greatest In The Kingdom Of Heaven? "

The Parable Of The Two Sons, in Mathew Chapter 21, offers us great insight into The Kingdom Of Yahweh!

Yahshua's Parables: " The Two Sons ".

In Mathew Chapter 21, we read The Parable Of: " The Two Sons " - being spoken by Yahshua Himself... and, while it's not very long, it packs a tremendous amount of Spiritually Discerned Meaning into those five little verses. Of course, Yahshua was ' A True Master Of Conveying Great Knowledge ' - while factually utilizing: The Shortest and Most Simplistic Language Expressable! After all, The Scriptures clearly state: " Where There Is Much Speaking, Sin Is Never Very Far Away "; and [ indeed ] Yahshua lived ' A Life Of Perfection '....

In this Parable Of Yahshua: " The Two Sons " - actually represent Two Different Groups Of People. Whether we, personally, decide ' To Classify Them ' as:

• Israel and Judah.
• The Prodigal and The Good Son.
• The Silver and The Gold.
• The Black and White Cummin.
• Or [ even ]: The Wild and Natural Olive Branches. 

This Highly Important Parable is clearly talking about: " The Two Witnesses Of Yahweh "... and, consequently, it bears a great deal of Spiritual Study! In this particular posting - upon The Parable Of The Two Sons - I intend to explain this One Single Message, to the very best of my own spiritual ability. Hopefully, you'll gain something useful in the process....

The Secret to Spiritual Success is Singularity Of Human Focus.

The famous Dale Carnegie.

While most of us will go through our entire lives without ever figuring it out, ' Singularity Of Human Focus ' is the most powerful indicator of: Future and Personal Success. This is equally true for: The Military Officer [ leading his men into battle], The Business Executive [ managing his corporate underlings in the office ], and The Sports Coach [ directing his players upon the field ]. In order to achieve success, each of them must make: clear, concise, and highly focused decisions - while relying solely upon Faith, that they'll achieve the desired effect. This is ' The True Secret ' behind all of the teachings of: " Positive Thinking " - that no one will ever openly tell you!

Whether we are discussing: Dale Carnegie, Tim Robbins, Kevin Trudeau, or any other: " Illuminati Positive Thinker " - they have all fully understood ' The Principle Of Single-Mindedness '... and therein, lies the greatest irony of all time! Because, the most wicked among us are often better aware of The Biblical Scriptures, and their more valuable teachings, than Yahweh's own spiritual children.

Like their own namesakes: " The Goats " - are constantly looking all around themselves... in an effort to better understand their environment... and to them, The Bible has proven a Highly-Valuable Reference and Tool. Meanwhile: " The Sheep " - like their namesakes - are so busy looking down, for the next luscious blade of grass, that they rarely notice anything else! It's very sad, but none-the-less true....

"The Straight And Narrow Path" - a Prophetical Formula for Spiritual Success.

The Straight and Narrow Way to salvation.

Of all The Teachings Of Yahshua, His frequent references to: " The Straight and Narrow Path ", " The Narrow Way ", and/or " The Middle Path " - are arguably the most important; while consistently being the most ignored of them all! On the surface, they seem to be Very Simple and Self-Explanatory... as if, even, a child might fully understand them.... But, are they really? Or, is there a: Deeper, More Profound, and Even Hidden Meaning behind them?

And while Yahshua [ Yahweh's Own Son ] was far more than just any prophet, or messenger, of Yahweh; He most certainly wasn't the first one to reference these Proper Scriptural Teachings. In fact, all of Yahweh's Prophets have borne the very same messages... and, the message of: " Making One's Path Straight For Yahweh " - is The Most Consistent and Commonly Expressed Theme throughout all of their collected writings! But, what does it really mean? The answer will most likely: Come as a shock to you, Violate your personal sensibilities, and/or Deeply offend you - upon many Spiritual Levels... but, it must be addressed.
