Every Man Is Right In His Own Eyes But…..

Every man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts, Proverbs 21:2.

Are our hearts ready for the weighing?

Have we no fear of the final trial?

Is Jesus enthroned there in our hearts by faith?

If so, you need not fear the weighing.

If not, what will you do when the King sets up the final scale?

Oh My Heavenly Father,

May we be stunned by Your grace;

May we be amazed at Your love;

May we be humbled by Your mercy;

May we be moved to Your Healing Presence;

May we be shocked by the sacrifice of Your Son;

May we be awakened to Your Everlasting Arms;

May we have eyes to see and ears to hear Your call to:

Come and drink the Cup of Salvation!;

May we have the Wisdom to understand Your way of Everlasting Life;

For now and forever Your glory and dominion and power reigns in the Highest.

Oh Heavenly Father,

How we love and thank You; In the name of the King of Kings, Lord Christ Jesus, we pray for the lost and wounded to hear Your gentle whisper calling their names with love and yearning;  we ask they turn to Your way and call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior…. then they may know Your peace, Your way, Your life in Jesus Christ. May they find their One Thing today. You are our only way to be whole and complete and at peace…..

In and by You, Lord King Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit in the grace and mercy of our God….. We praise You for Your love reigns forever over us. Be glorified by our love towards You, our Great God.

Amen.

He who has Son walks in the Light as He is in the Light!!!!

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin, ( 1 John 1:7).

Are we living by the fullness of the light the Lord intended when He spoke to us in…(John 12:36), While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.

The presence of the Holy One is dazzling bright and brilliant. So as we live by His presence, He will brighten any darkness within that we hold on to falsely as truth.

Do we choose to walk in the light of the Holy Spirit leading us or are we content with the darkness…. We have gained a certain amount of light or truth and that is as far as we will allow the Holy Spirit to clean out our hearts?

Do we live in the Spirit as He illumines the truth before us?…. Do we trust Him to let go of the darkness within our thinking and living…. When we choose to agree with the Lord that may be this thing or that attitude of ours brings darkness which leads to death…….He reveals the things that will come as well as what we cannot see with our natural eyes…. in our lives as well as things outside our lives. Can we have the courage to be as ruthless with the Holy Spirit to conform us from the likeness of the world to the likeness of Christ as He is with us?

Once we hear His voice…. as written in John 10:14-16….Do we hold His sound as a Treasure now?

We have the ears to hear and eyes to see the Lord….. Yes, we were blind before regarding God and His kingdom…..prior to His Spirit living within…… but now we can see!

Spiritual eyes to see and know the Lord Himself….in all manners and diverse ways manifesting Himself to us….

Revealing Himself in us as written in John 14:21, He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him……….

If we love the Lord- He will come and manifest Himself to us…..Do we long and ask to have eyes to see and ears to hear Him today, so that He manifests to us? Do we love Him more than any other or ask for the grace to behold Him as our Great Treasure?

Do we follow His Word even when it hurts or causes reproach? Do we count His love above all others, so when He is manifesting Himself we are aware of Him? We long for Him because of our love for Him….. Duty is duty but to follow because of love, nothing can separate love not even death!

Do we want to have eyes to see Him? The Laodicean church received His love letter as the other six churches in the first chapters of Revelation of Jesus Christ. The Laodicean church was reproved because they thought that their boat had come in, yet they did not understand their boat was full of potholes and was sinking into darkness fast… Judgment starts at the house of God…… Do we heed there may be a judgment coming or correction to the current day church? Or are we going to float on the cloud of delusion and deny wisdom to have any fear of the Lord?

We should have eyes to see the Lord in each other, as well as, others see the Lord manifesting Himself through us by His Spirit and His gifts….. This Christ is still drawing all men unto the King and Redeemer….now through His body…..

It is imperative that we see Christ is in us with spiritual eyes. When I first came to the Lord, He was walking with me through time…. I was so grateful for Him to be that close…. I was in heaven….. then, I needed to grow so the Lord drew back a bit….. I cried for Him. I thought I did the unpardonable sin, not knowing what that was….. Of course, the devil in my ignorance jumped all over it……But, I thought, where did He go?

I didn’t screw up and He didn’t go….. He wanted me to have more of Him…….He died so that we could be in Him and Him in us…. But He has to be invited….. I cried out….. I need help here….. Everything is coming against me…What am I suppose to handle this, Lord?

Then He puts before me His people baptizing in fire, so I got baptized in the Holy Spirit….. Then I knew the Lord’s presence was within…..I was burning on fire for Him. The scriptures came alive as well as I did….I woke up to a new realm of the Spiritual Realm, the kingdom of heaven was now within me….The journey with the Lord was beyond any thing possible that I could have imagine….. That is God….. He breaks all human boundaries, He is not limited by space or time….. He can do what ever He wants to obtain His purpose with man….. Look what His Son did for Him……. Look at the courage and boldness of the saints that laid their lives down for His name sake.

I flew like the eagle with my King…..I saw the Lord in His glory….. He gave me the eyes to see as He gave me the ears to hear His voice….. I join with Paul and others as he stated that the He chose to reveal His Son in me.

Is this available to all, yes…. of course….. How bad are we willing to die to this life in Laodicea? How bad do we want the salve to anoint our eyes with the Holy Spirit….. You will not win any popularity contest, but the love of the Lord and the fellowship with the Spirit is worth the cost….. I will die daily to gain my Christ.

The Spirit is admonishing all to have eyes to see and ears to hear…. the Lord….. We have eyes to see Him and ears to hear Him in the end we become the image of Him….. Consummation of His love and our love which is little, but His is greater and covers our humanity…. to bring us into His divine nature….. so that Christ will be all and in all…. whether we contribute willingly or not…. Whether we love Him or not….. I can say if the love of God has waxed cold, I pray you seek His walk to the cross as you study Isaiah and John.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament because the veil is taken away in Christ, But even to this day when Moses is read a veil lies on their heart.

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are becoming transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord, ( 2 Corinthians 3:14-18).

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him, (John 11:9-10).

He answered and said, A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight, ( John 9:11).

Selah until part II is revealed, God willing…. Listen to His heartbeat, it is the heartbeat of heaven…… His love pouring out amongst the lost…. Be found in Him, beloved…. We are home and complete only by Our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

As He died to give us life, let us live that life to the fullness of the measure of Light He opens our eyes to….. for there is great adventure of knowing the Lord for every day is Resurrection Day…. Everyday is the Lord’s day…… Let us celebrate Him every day!

 

What Is Our Application of The Truth In These Scriptures Given By The Holy Spirit?

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church which is His body the fullness of Him who fills all in all……( Ephesians 1:22-23).

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness shall dwell, ( Colossians 1:19).

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all, ( Colossians 3:11).

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power, (Colossians 2-9).

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me: for You have loved Me from the foundation of the world, ( John 17:24).

Then the Lord said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and your all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation, ( Genesis 7:1).

And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two of all flesh, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut them in,(Genesis 7:15-16).

Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail, (Revelation 11:19).

The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; her clothing is woven with gold. She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors, ( Psalm 45:13-14).

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel: three gates on east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, three gates on the west. Now the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, (Revelation 21:9-14).

Let your heart not be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know, ( John 14:1-4).

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust, (Psalm 91-1).

Do I need to ask, where is our Home?….. In Christ Jesus, if we abide in His word. Abide in Me, and I in you. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned, ( John 15:6). In Him, is our rest. In Him, is where we belong in peace. In Him, by His grace and His Spirit, we rest from the law of Moses, we rest from our own weaknesses and failures…. In His grace over our weakness, His power is made perfect!

This great King has been exalted above all as He is seated at the right hand of Almighty. He is worthy and there is no other like Him. This same King dwells within us by His Spirit.

The Lamb and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the glorified Son of God is seated at the right hand of the Almighty… Beloved, we live there with Him in the Spirit now…..

He carries us as we are on eagle’s wings way above the treetops, way above the mountains of jealousy and the wrath of Babylon. If we are not complete in Him, where else will we be complete? We are not complete or fulfilled here with out Jesus Christ…. There is only One place and One Person we are found complete…. Our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us be found in Him.

Beyond our comprehension is what we have gained with Christ from our Great I AM…. There is no other like our God…..

Beloved, keep soaring in Him as on the wings of the eagle….. Safe, flying high above the flood waters of deception and lies. Flying above the waters of death and poison. As His breath of life will carry us through the fire and water, where He has chosen us….to remain through all as He is our safety of our refuge…. our God in Christ Jesus, the Ark of the Covenant…. We abide in the mighty power of His Word and His Holy Spirit of fire…. We live and breath our Lord Jesus Christ until He is all and in all in the church or as His body is fulfilled in time, then the creation.

What a mighty inheritance or destiny as we have received from our Lord…now and forever. Praise God! What greater inheritance than the King of glory!

O Lord, Be thou our vision….. Give us the eyes to see greatness of You and all You have prepared for us.

May our eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him the to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all, ( Ephesians 1:18-23).

There is so much, beloved, to explore and live in Christ to gain all of Christ…..

Once we have accepted the redemption of Christ, is that all we need to believe in? When God delivered Israel from Egypt, was that all that God desired for them? Do we ever settle down and not desire more of Him? Did not many perish in the wilderness because of their unbelief limited the Holy One?

We do not stop getting more things of this world, if we did stop then all the stores would only be open a day or so a week. Our basic needs plus plus plus are met here in America, but we want more so we go there to get more stuff…..

Why is the concept too outrageous to go after God and His Son with the same gusto! With the Lord, there is never enough of Him. He meets me and I am filled, but I long for more of Him….That love of our God, makes me so hungry for more and to understand more and obtain more wisdom, so that I may understand more of the never stopping river of grace and love that keeps pouring from the throne of God.

Do we pray for the high calling to gain all Christ?….Do we dare to have such audacity to believe all that is written or are we content with a couple of crumbs of His mighty grace….. I believe our Lord is the whole big beautiful loaf of Heavenly Food to devour!

Hold on to Him and never let go until we are all gone at the cross and all is Christ and Christ is all and in all. We are complete as we are in Him as the church as well as individually. So when we awaken, we shall be as He is…..

Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars; she has slaughtered her meat, she has mixed her wine, she has also furnished her table, she has sent out her maidens, she cries out from the highest places of the city,

Whoever is simple, let him turn in here! As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, Come, eat of My Bread, and drink of the wine I have mixed.

Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the way of understanding. He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, and he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone, ( Proverbs 9).

Amen and Selah!

 

When It Is All Said And Done……

The question will be determined how we proved our faith in purpose towards the Lord, when it is all said and done. Did we allow Him to be our plumbline, the standard in which we live by and for ?….. Did we allow His Word to be center stage? How hotly did we pursue Him? Did we act accordingly to the importance of the destiny the Lord had planned for us….. Did we apprehend Him as He apprehended us? Or did we compromise for the praises of men rather than the Lord’s?

What is the pursuit of the high calling?….. Yes, There is an eternity in living the life of the high calling…. Living a resurrected life in Christ before Almighty God… How exciting!! However, we live that life now, by the presence of His Spirit within…. We have been risen with Christ in God and we also have died with Christ, so we are found in Him.

The day of the Lord will reveal what we pursued during our time in the wilderness…..He already knows what we did…..Now we  will be illuminated with Truth of our heart….. The Holy Spirit is always illuminating us to the Son…..In His light, there is no darkness. On that Day, we will see the measure of Christ in us or see the measure of something else……

All will be revealed before us as the way the Lord sees us now day in and day out. How we live now bears fruit of the Spirit or of the spirit of the world. We choose how to live this life every day here pursuing the Lord or not, God will not twist our arm for us to seek Him, even though He is seeking us.

Remember He is seeking us to see if we are seeking Him…… When He looks upon us, were we caught meditating on His creation? We were wondering what He meant in the Word when He said some particular scripture at a particular time? Did we awake in the night, longing for the reality of Him in all we do? Did we hold on to the Holy Spirit to do what He has to, so that we live by faith in Christ alone because He loves us so. Do we pray for the trust to let go all to Him because we understand and dare to rely only on the strength of His love that He has towards us?

Or were we caught with the vain fascination of the world and the comings and goings and found sleeping.

What do we think heaven will be like….. Is there a cloud and a harp reserved for each one as we lay down and float for all eternity?

Whose lame idea was that?….It had to originate in hell for a lie to deceive those not to work out their salvation with fear and trembling as written in Philippians 2:12. God is a God of order and purpose… There is a purpose in heaven as well as on earth…….There is purpose in every thing that is in this universe including the heavens and His heavenly Jerusalem, the holy city of God.

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure, ( Philippians 2:12-13).

The last words spoken by the Almighty recorded was about the purpose——Matthew 17: 5, While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him….

O Father, who dwells in heaven, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven????? There is business of the kingdom of God going on in heaven as is on earth! God is a God of order and purpose as written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, That which has been is what will be, that which is done is will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

There is no written word on us floating on clouds with harps…..Next, we will hear that there are iphones and smart phones and tvs there…… All the comforts of the flesh? NOT!

Those who feed the flesh will starve in next age……. and those that starved the flesh but fed the Spirit of Life daily will be filled with everlasting glory. As written in Proverbs 4: 18-19, But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.

Think about this, we trip or stumble over something, don’t we look back at what it was that made us trip?…. I do, for sure….. I want to remove that thing ASAP….. So the way of ones that don’t allow the work and grace of the Spirit of God to invade their lives to turn their lives into light, will not understand and see what they keep tripping over…..Hmmmm…. But isn’t it written,  a very important Person will be as a stumbling stone to His enemies…. those that reject Him?

Then Jesus looked to them and said, What then is this that is written: The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone? Whoever falls on that stone will be broken, but on whom ever it falls, it will grind him to powder,( Luke 20:17-18).

There is no part of creation that does not have a job to accomplish for the Creator and His creation. All of creation is still doing the work of His command by His power… So…do not believe the lie that there is a cloud with your name as a reservation like a dinner reservation. There are however, a very great cloud of witnesses urging and praying us forward in the race.

Yeah, we say we know the Lord…… But does He know you? Will He know from whose house we are from? Have we apprehended the call of God …. Have we apprehended Him? He is so Big! How can we apprehend such a great King? But it is written that we can or least die trying to know Him which is eternal life !!!! ( John 17).

What is our vision….. Is it of the next game, the next shopping spree, the next vacation? What is our vision? If we have a vision for this earth, we are not lethal to evil, but if we have a heavenly vision, we are on his hit list…… That’s okay, because we know the end of the story, God will take him out.

God has a specific call for us here and when this age ends….. Time is an opportunity to complete our wilderness training in the Spirit by the Spirit so we may be educated in the ways of God…. His ways are known and made apparent to all men…. They are not mysterious as the slogan goes…… They may be mysterious to those that have not sought after Him….Not to those that know Him and have sought to learn His ways.

The happenstance’s goal that we go through so we may achieve to apprehend God, may be hidden until time passes and the light dawns within. They are for us to grow in the knowledge of our God, we will know Him better as our Refuge, Stronghold, Healer, Deliverer, Best Friend, Commander, Host of the Battle, Giver All Peace, ….. on and on is the list of the Great I AM.

We live sometimes through adversity as though we go through a tunnel….. we will come out into the shining day of the Lord….. There is our hope,  though we may not see the day, the day is approaching…. the Day of the Lord…. Our hope and our anchor and our joy…. Our Lord!

I know calculus is mysterious to me, however, I have never sought after calculus, and God willing will not have to….I thank God it is not a requirement to God’s realm…..The One we need, His yoke is easy and we do not have to know calculus!

People are afraid of the plague called cancer….. Why? Because it is a killer…… however, Jesus Christ is the Healer of everything….. Why do we not seek after the Healer to get well? Some do……

God is God and He still plans to shake up the comfortable and comforts the shaken….. I know I would be very bored if I just looked forward to sitting on a cloud with a harp….

Man, I pray there is more opportunity to learn about the Holy One…. I want to continue to ask Him questions that He still has not answered me….. I want to still learn and grow in Christ….I want to study our King….I want to hear His words and commands. I want to see how He is when millions times millions are praising Him on His day…. I want to see Him in His glory and stay by Him forever…. I sure don’t want to be floating on some cloud somewhere from the action of King….. I desire the King in all His glory to be known to all.

He is so beautiful. I have to hear and see His expression and character more…. I want to know the answers to all my questions….. Why the giraffe’s neck so long? Why did He create the alligator? Why? Why the wasp? Why did Adam name the hippopotamus it’s name?

Why did He put chapters in Isaiah and Ezekiel about Satan….. Who is the King of Tyre written in Ezekiel?

Why did He put thorns on roses? He already answered me on the existence of evil here.

Why such a King as beautiful and magnificent as He would die for me? How can I grasp such great love in my heart?

How is it that You loved us and never let us go for centuries? What God is like You, My King of glory>

O King of my glory….. Be Thou My Vision now and always. As we look for you today, may it be a long stretch of tomorrows with You, My King of glory…..so that we may gaze into Your face as long as there is eternity……

How are we showing our love to our King of glory? Let us  not put Him off like going to the doctor’s…. Take advantage of the day we have and seek Him as He is watching you and waiting for you to seek Him. Do you hear Him knocking on the door of your heart, your life…. He wants the okay to invade your life and then make it glorious! Hear the King of glory speaking His love over you today or tonight when the still small beautiful voice of His can be heard over all the distractions….. Listen……. Hear Him!

How is your gift from the Lord of 2015 growing….. I pray that as His gift grows in us, we are getting smaller and the face of the Lord is all we see!

He is Number One as placed in the high place next to the Almighty God, so He should be our Number One now also. He is the Beginning and the End…. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is our Alpha and Omega and He is our End and our Beginning and the reason we can live forever. Christ is all and in all according the counsels of the Godhead…… Let us seek Him as we seek our next breath.

Holy Spirit, do Your work in our hearts, I pray for the grace for obtaining the tenacity of the faith of God so we apprehend and dwell in the mountain clefts of our King’s realm. May we see the workings of His hands and ways so we may magnify His glory and explore His greatness.

Lord, You promised us never to leave us. You admonished us to learn of You and take Your yoke upon us because of Your love, the yoke would be easy…. We thank You, and hold on to Your yoke and You so that we may apprehend You with the same tenacity as when You took our stone hearts in Your hands and made them flesh again….. Flesh of Your flesh….Born again from heaven as sons and daughters with a great inheritance…..

Our Inheritance is You our Great King, as we are Your Inheritance…. Fill our cup with You overflowing in Your love, so that our love may pour forth before Your throne as a sweet smelling fragrance…….of Christ to our Father in heaven….. Without Your love working in us mightily, we cannot love or even look for You…. All Your love turned us away from death and darkness. There is no God like You.

You are a mighty and beautiful God and all our love and honor and blessing belongs to You forever and ever, Amen.

I also thank You with that we do not have a cloud reserved for us,we want to be among the multitudes exalting You because we shall see You as You are! Father, I ask that we have ears to hear Your voice of wisdom and instruction by Your Spirit, in Jesus name.

I pray we know but what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

Yet, indeed I also count all things loss for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrections from the dead.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you, ( Philippians 3:7-16.)

Thank You for Your work to be complete in us according to Your Word. Amen!

Selah!!

What A Buzzword These Days: Your Destiny….Is It A Mystery?

Why so much interest in the word destiny? Well, we can surmise that in the heart of every man and woman, there is need to understand why we are here….. Deep down, we are searching for our meaning in life, right?….. So…….

Do you know your destiny? Do you know why you were created at this time for this time? There is a mystery involving every man and woman created by God, but it is not  hidden any longer. It is not a secret or some hidden mystical theory…..

This is quite simple to understand and get the faith to live it out… For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created by through Him and by Him, ( Colossians 1:16).

So we can rest assured we were created by the Uncreated One. We are here for His purpose and by His love, we will complete His plan for us… That is awesome, there is no  mistake or freak of an accident in any one’s birth.

You were in the mind of the Godhead and in His counsels before the foundation of the world as written: Just as He chose us in Him from the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, (Ephesians 1:4). Well, we have been chosen by God before the universe was created to be holy and without blame before Him.

Well, I do not know about you, but to me, that is quite a huge destiny that has been given to us as we abide in Christ….. Isn’t that an awesome destiny?

Now our destiny or purpose in God may be different than our mind set….. If our destiny is wrapped up in wanting to be a somebody with a name, or fame or fortune…… God’s purpose and ours might do a huge collide until  the submission to His word is established in us: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you,            ( Matthew 6:33).

God is so wise and so a great Father….. As we think we are seeking the Lord with all our heart…. He shows us the hidden self centered agendas we have….. So we then may let them die on the cross as the carnal man.

We, then, are not in enmity with the Lord as written in Romans 8:6-8:  For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

What happens  when we seek the Lord and His Kingdom and His rights, we loose our own in His love. Our agendas do not hold  the importance that they once held in our hearts….. The Lord has taken over that desire of  our hearts….. He has become our agenda. He becomes our One Thing that we search after….. So when the fame, name and fortune come or not, we do not change our main focus of seeking Him as our Needful Thing and our Only One Thing we go after and hold on.

We should be like the woman with the issue of blood, she knew if she touched the garment of Jesus, she would be healed….. She was made completely well by her faith in not letting go of Jesus. (Mark 5:25-34). The flow of life ebbing out her was stopped…..

That is destiny is it not?    His destiny or purpose for us as we become born again “abiders” in Christ….. This is etched in the heart of the Father through out the Word, through out all of time….His own family…..

As Paul boldy tells us our destiny,  precise and very clear for all to interpret and understand: And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified, these He also glorified, ( Romans 8:28-30).

WOW! What a destiny we have in Christ from the Godhead…. That is awesome and who needs to further  inquiry of their destiny once we learn what God has called us to?????

There is no mystery to our call in Christ Jesus from our God…… But to be changed from glory to glory …. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we, all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord, ( 2 Corinthians 3:17-18).

That is a mystery!!!! We are transformed just as we are born from above….. All  the works of God are completed by faith and lived by faith according to the power of His word. The work of God has been made manifest ….

Why? And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and power of the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him, ( Ephesians 3:9-12).

So the mystery that was and is and is to come…… as Paul states: the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make know what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among  the Gentiles: which Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we might present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,        ( Colossians 1:26-28).

Want to know your purpose, it is not hidden from you…… WOW…… This precious gift of Jesus Christ to us from the Father is so AWESOME, beyond what we can imagine or think!  We trust in the Lord, to walk in the fullness of His calling, because He has given us His Spirit within to empower us to be found blameless before Him on His day….. How awesome is our God!!!!

Now what do you think Jesus meant when He said this in Luke 13:24-27, Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and He will answer and say to you, I do not know you, where you are from, then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.

It is quite obvious  what house we belong by the piercing eyes of flame of King Jesus Christ. He is the Judge and He is the Plumbline too. He is our standard and the image the Spirit of God is making us into…..Behold, I make all things new, ( Revelation 21:5)…..

After all, He knows His creation. Well, He knows all things, even our hearts!…… We can surmise that He recognizes His house, Christ within,  where His Spirit dwells in our hearts or not…… Hey guys, that is our only hope of glory…..May we heed our Lord’s words and obey…..His calling of our destiny purposed and planned before the foundation of the world.

I am in awe of our God and His neverending mercy and love for us….. May we heed to His plan and live looking as to a mirror from glory to glory…. So if this is our calling, what is the high calling that Paul refers to in Philippians?

May we grow mightly in the strength and grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us, ( 1 John 3:24). Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may gave boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world, (1 John 4:17).

He will see Himself in our souls, His home…..as our abode is in Him. What a purpose and destiny we have in Christ Jesus.

There is no one like our God! May we bless the Name of the Lord forever and ever! We love you, Lord. May we have eyes to see what You have planned for us and ears to obtain Your Word in our hearts from listening ears and courage and boldness of faith to believe and live.

Father, I thank You that You have given us a place to live the inconceivable life of God through Your Son by the power of His Spirit….. We praise You and thank You for Your neverending mercy. We praise You for Your hands always lifting us to new adventures in knowing You as our God…..

You are the Great I AM. You are the reason our hearts are fulled with joy….for there is no God that has delivered and loved and lifted and been a refuge and a dwelling place for all generations as You…. There is no one like the Great I AM.

Selah!!
