Greetings in Jesus' name....
For the previous 2 posts i have spoken of my sadness whilst praying in the Spirit of an awareness of certain truths. Those truths were centred around the unsaved i was praying for & how many christians dont know who they are! They carry the title of being a christian, but as the lord says...My people perish through lack of knowledge(Wisdom, Discernment, Understanding) And i also briefly spoke about how God began to reveal this to me in my life by asking me if he could be my Father.(To better understand this last blog entry, plse read previous 2 posts) God promised me he would teach(show) me how to be his Son. To cut a long story short, how God began to show me was revealing that when we look into his word we are meant to see a reflection of ourselves. Scripture says his word is like a miiror, yet many walk away(Stop Reading) and forget who they are.
Through studying the scriptures, Jesus is the perfect example of a Son unto God the Father & our lives are meant to reflect that of Jesus. When Jesus came out of the waters of baptizim and the Holy Spirit came upon him it was then that God declared for the first time " This is my son, in whom i am well pleased" Did we not get Born Again? Baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit just as Jesus showed us too? Then doesnt scripture say that we too are sons of God just like Jesus? Im not saying we are or become Jesus, but we share in his fellowship with the father & position at his(God's) right hand. No longer are we like Adam & Eve created from dust and afar off from God the creator. No, we have a new & better covenant...we recieved the same seed(Jesus) that Mary recieved...we recieved the spirit of adoption...we recieved the spirit of his son wherby we cry "ABBA FATHER". Our spirit was Born Again..we were re born into the royalty!
Look at Jesus & how he walked,talked & behaved. Jesus started a whole new race or kind of people. Jesus was the first born of the children of God, allowing us to become son's & daughters of the most high. He bridged the gap between us & God and seated us next to God in him.
Jesus also said something very profound however if you don't allow the Holy Spirit to teach you?..u can miss it. In fact, i believe a lot of Christians do miss it. That is my own opinion and not fact by the way.
Jesus said in Mathew 11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest, 29 take up my yoke upon you, AND LEARN FROM ME, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, 30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'
The key words being LEARN FROM ME!..Notice the order in which Jesus placed this spoken word to his listeners. 1st he said come too me ( Which you & i did ) 2nd Jesus said give me all your burdens and worries (which you & i did )3rd Jesus said join yourself together to him ( This is very crucial in a believers life ) and LEARN from Jesus.
Forgive me if i seem judgmental or critical towards others, but in order for me to show you what the Holy Spirit showed me i must speak what he showed me! As God is my witness, it appears that Christians are only interested in what they can get from God or Jesus as if he was Santa Claus rather than studying to show themselves approved! APPROVED OF WHAT? YOUR SONSHIP!
We come to the alter and declare our sins too God, then God fills us with his love & acceptance. Then sadly, its so easy to start learning about how we can have prosperity & all the blessings of Abraham.....STOP! Don't get me wrong! We are to walk in the promises and blessing, but these are only by products of your sonship, it is your inheritance freely given already by God our father thanx to Jesus. But some how i think that we have missed it. We chase after the gifts & the blessing intead of the Giver and the Blesser! Once you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal firstly the revelation of Jesus to you & how he lives in you and qualifies you to be a called a child of God the most high, you will then truly walk in the abundant life in which Jesus said you would and the Apostle paul speaks about..that our Mind, Body & Soul Prospers.
Knowing Jesus, christ in you the hope of Glory is the answer to all your Problems & Questions. Jesus who lives within you and his kingdom authority is expressed from there too. It makes sense that if you get to know the King of the kingdom, how much more do you think your Life will change & your relationship with him will grow? Do u know who Jesus is or do you just know about Jesus and what Jesus did?? I am happy now, that my season of prayer has yielded much fruit for the lord. The tears of sadness have saved 4 souls and God's will is being done here on earth as it is in heaven in & thru me!
All Glory to God
