High heels

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5.3

This was the first teaching of Jesus. At first glance, it does not seem to draw too much attention. However, this is the basis of deliverance and salvation. If a person does not become humble like a child, it is impossible to be born of the Holy Spirit. Is it not the truth that sets one free? But how can it freed someone proud? Impossible. Unfortunately, many people, despite being in the bottom of the pit, remain on top of their high heels shoes. 

Righteousness

"You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you." Deuteronomy 16.20

There is no other way. Whosoever wants to save their soul and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven must walk in righteousness. God is not only Righteous but also He also hates unrighteousness. Any sin, no matter how small, is a clear manifestation of unrighteousness, and they are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5.19-21)

Where and when?

"Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him." Malachi 3.18

The promise is crystal clear: you shall discern again. And who made this promise? The Lord of Hosts. Where and when should it be fulfilled? The only place where we could see this difference is right here on Earth, and it has to be now, considering that in the Kingdom of Heaven there will be no wicked people. 
Why the delay in the fulfillment of this promise? Because the surrender to the Lord has been slow.
The difference will only be seen when those who are faithful surrender body, soul and spirit in truth.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."     Matthew 5.20

The Kingdom of Heaven is purely righteous. Once there, you will have no memories of what is unrighteous. In order to enter, you must be righteous. 
But how can we be righteous when we are merely human and sinners? Abraham's faith, along with his obedience to the Word of God, made him a righteous man.
Therefore, you must use your faith in obedience to the Word. 

REPENTANCE

"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."    Matthew 4:17

Repentance is not a feeling of regret or remorse. It is an act that requires courage and determination, which are key elements for conquering the Kingdom of Heaven.
