 Do not lust after everything that the world has for the world is fading away and the things of the world.  

 
Good morning,
 
    Do not lust after everything that the world has for the world is fading away and the things of the world.  But when your eyes are fixed upon Me and your gaze stays upon Me, you will increase beyond the material, beyond the temporary things of this world and what the world has to offer.  I will cause you to have those things that are beyond the price of the world.  They are more costly.  You will walk in a deeper revelation, deeper insight, and wisdom than you have because you came through the fire, you will be like gold in the Kingdom.  You are now more purified, more precious, more prepared for the things that I have to disclose, reveal, and show you because you have hungered and thirst for righteousness. I will cause you to inherit more than your eyes could ever understand or see.  It is just the beginning of the good things that I have for you.  Just the beginning.  Blinders are needed to keep your eyes on Me and not at all that may be going on around you.  Many that once walked with you in My house will become discontent and discouraged in the endurance that faith takes, they will fall by the way.  I have said that after you endure you will inherit the promise. You have waited on My timing and you will enjoy the reward of your faithfulness.  Knowing this that because you did not quit but kept pressing, you would reap the harvest of goodness that I have laid up for you.  Look right on, not to the left or right.  I Am the author and finisher of your faith, I will complete what has been started in you. 
 
    "I know you are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My name’s sake, and you have not fainted or become exhausted or grown weary.  But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love].  Remember then from what heights you have fallen.  Repent (change the inner man to meet God’s will) and do the works you did previously [when first you knew the Lord], or else I will visit you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you change your mind and repent." (Revelation 2:3-5)
 

    "Let your eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and let your gaze be straight before you.  Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright.  Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil." (Proverbs 4:25-27)

 
    "In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises." (Hebrews 6:12)
 
Love,
