In our lifetime the Father prepares for us many chances to meet with Him and encounter Him. He is always speaking to us in so many ways. He is subtle, obvious, kind, generous and gracious to us as He gently tries to put before us His most excellent way so that we can encounter love that will transform our lives which in turn and short order would transform the earth to reveal His glory in us His bride. His loving relentless passionate pursuit of us is a marvel to the heavenly host as very few on earth will respond to his invitation to know Him. To be still and know that He is God is seemingly something that can easily allude us. To be in Him first and abide in His rest where we can hear His thoughts and simply let His living love wash over us in His presence. It is from this place that we are compelled to move to express Him to a world that needs to see Him in us.
Knowing things about God without ever having encountered Him breaks the Fathers heart. Many of us have allowed others to have our relationship with Father that Father wants to have with us. We let others worship for us, study for us, talk for us do for us when He wants to have that place with you. It is possible that the very system we have set up in our meetings and churches are the very things that could keep us from Him if we don’t prepare to meet with Him when we go to our meetings. We are to bring something to give, to minister, to seek Him and minister to His heart and believe upon the name that we were given by Father, Jesus the King.
The lord has said my thoughts are not your thoughts nor my ways your ways. But He never said we are to stay in our ways and thoughts that are far from His. There is no life in our thoughts and ways they lead us into defeat and an inferior way of living and being where our joy and splendor in Christ is diminished and we easily get discouraged and fall into patterns of unbelief.
Our lord and precious savior is inviting us into Himself to know His ways and thoughts. His ways and thoughts will lift you up beyond any circumstance, the heavenly perspective will be given to you and your understanding of things is replaced by His peace as you develop a trust in Him because you know Him and His ways. Miracles and the supernatural ways of our God become the normal way of living in the renewed mind because that is who He is and how He moves. He is the Lord and He doesn’t change. We are changed to reflect Him and come into His truth.
The lord is calling you to come and meet with Him so He can share His thoughts with you and reveal His most excellent ways of love. Living in the kingdom and His presence is available for all those who call on His name and seek Him with all that they are and just as they are for He will never turn anyone away. Let all of His house gather and praise Him let the young and the old praise Him and see Him as He is for He is powerful and full of glory and splendor who is like our God. This is your time on the earth to know Him and you will not pass this way again. He is life and He is for you and no one or anything can bring you into life like He can. Live for Him in these days and have life for great joy is in this place.
Blessings to you all who share in the riches of our God and to those that don’t know Him yet but are called.
