This prayer is one of the secrets of His love that the Holy Spirit gave me during a shaking… praying for others. Everyone is in need of love from our Great God…. Our Heavenly Father also desires that we love Him too. In a marriage convenant, we say during sickness, health, wealth or poverty… This resembles the covenant of love, we prove our love for our God and each other if we love and remain faithful during the hard times of life. Thus we are called the Bride of Christ.
I put a fragrance on that is called unconditional love. I figure if I keep smelling it, the fragrance will help remind me to live it out…. That is the love our God has for us, unconditional love…. When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Knowing some would never turn to Him, He still died for them not turning away His love…. We are learning this way of our Lord, no matter what we are to love all….even when the love is not returned. We keep loving and praying for all.
True Christianity is based on knowing God and sharing His love in our experience of living in His word…. Religion is all on actions of the outward and there is no heart of His love…. I referred to in the last blog, of living life in a “Boat.” That “Boat” is the love of God holding me during the waves of life which include the testing, trials, sifting— I have called this sifting in my book- the “shake and bake” of God.
As it is written in Ephesians 3:18-19, (that we) may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
If the shaking and baking does not occur, my boat won’t go to the depths to see My Lord’s great strength to bring me back up. If I stay on the water with no waves, I won’t live His height, His depth, His width, His length of love for me…
Peter is a great teacher. Peter was told by Jesus to come out of the boat and walk on the water like Jesus was doing in Matthew 14:29-31. Peter went okay, no problem. Then he saw the waves get boisterous….. He got fearful and started to sink. Jesus saved Him…. Hey, he tried! He also, learned of his need for Jesus and stronger faith in Him.
Paul also, gives great examples of living the life of shaking and baking. If you read 2Corinthians 4:8-11, we are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus that the LIFE OF JESUS ALSO MAY BE MANIFESTED IN OUR BODY…for we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh…..
I like to finish that scripture to say – for all to see as a testimony of the strength and love of God towards and through men. As Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:12, yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
I was sitting on a bench before a lake one day. I asked the Lord, teach me to walk on the water. Lord, please give me the grace to do that in faith of You. He answered, child, you already are walking on the water. You are overcoming the world by your faith in me. You are already living a supernatural life now. I was, as usual, in the middle of adversities. The Lord started to go over my victory in these areas…. I was shocked, but I understood.
I also asked the Lord, one day climbing,- where do you feed Your flock? He answered me- in adversity, I feed you. You are very hungry then…. I stopped in my tracks and had to sit down on that answer. But I understood Him, I am always needing Him and even more so when I am “surrounded” with adversities. David leaned on God also, and that man had trouble too! God saw that David had a heart after Him. We are in a Great Company if we have troubles.
I guess I will say that my life is full of adversities, but it is also FULL OF GOD! I rather experience God’s love than a bowl full of cherries, any day!!! You too?!
