“Treasure Hunt”

 

In Proverbs 2 it says we should search for wisdom and understanding as if you were searching for hidden treasure.  Now let me ask you something, if you had a map and it would lead you to a treasure that no one could ever take away from you, would you not search for it tirelessly and be focused in on finding that treasure?  You will have riches that no one could steal away from you and you would never be in need again and never have to worry about being sick and would live in the finest of everything.  Now is the treasure map worth looking into?  Once you found that treasure you would gain the knowledge and the fear of God because the Bible says that the Lord gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.  Would you like that?  OK, then here is how you do it.  Give up everything!  I just lost about 90% of the crowd.  Wisdom comes from knowledge and to gain Perfect knowledge you must relieve yourself of your flesh.  Giving up the flesh is giving up of everything this world offers you so that you may gain Perfect wisdom and knowledge that only God can give through a relationship with Jesus Christ.  OK, I got some of you back.  For those of you that do not want the treasure map that is ok because we have what is known as free will but when the day comes that I find my treasure you will no longer have me here and unless you give up your flesh you will never have me or know me again.  The Holy Bible is the map and it is Perfect without flaw and the directions are Perfect without error and the only way to get to the treasure is to get with Jesus because Perfect Treasure requires cleansing from the Living Water.  You can read and memorize every word that is written but never reach the treasure because you never got cleansed.
