Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance (aphesis) to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty (aphesis) them that are bruised,

Heb. 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

It is impossible to seek for the future. That is a recipe for inactivity and disobedience. Do you think that "seek first the kingdom" means seek later, (or no need to seek now)? Do you hate the idea of having to seek God, as Epi says?? Is that your motivation? Will you deny it? When is it...
