From God
Do you really believe that I will
look after you? And if you do, then why are you so stressed when
you go outside the scope of human help? Why do you go into a
frantic state when doctors are not close by to assist you? Or when
your future looks bleak at work? Or when you have tried every
avenue possible to succeed and advance, but somehow you still come
to a dead end? Or when you have tried every angle to save your
marriage and it still doesn't want to work?
Why do you stress so much? I want
to help you. I am always there to reach out to you. Darkness cannot
remain in My presence. I am the Light of the World, and where I
move, there is light, illuminating every situation and giving hope
to the lost. My ways are so uniquely special, different from this
world. It will arouse an expectation in your heart of the
supernatural to occur.
I operate in the spiritual realm
and when you were born again, a new spiritual being was born.
Spirit understands spirit, and therefore I encourage you to live in
the spiritual realm of which your newborn spirit is part of. Only
through My Spirit, will you understand anything. Deep follows deep
and the more you move in the spirit, the deeper you will delve into
My Being. And the moment you start doing that, everything else will
fade in comparison.
Being with Me surpasses any
experience you might have on earth. And by that I am not saying
that I don't regard your earthly life as important, just read the
Bible and you will see how concerned I am about My children's
wellbeing. I am saying that you will live your earthly life on
another level. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
I know you all crave for so much
more. I know you want more out of life, and this is the secret to
it all. Live to glorify My Spirit, through communing with Me in
your spirit. When you accepted My Son, Jesus, as your personal
Saviour, your old sinful nature made way for your newly created
spirit. A new spirit was born that is part of the new Jerusalem to
come. A new spirit was born that can enter into My presence and
drink in My glory. This spirit is sinless and pure and in this
spirit lies all My values, all My strength, all that I am.
Delve into the new spirit inside,
the new you. Dig deeper and discover the wealth of treasures I have
given you as a gift. Discover each of them and rejoice in all that
I am blessing you with. All the blessings under the heavenly realm
are yours through My Son Jesus. It is yours for the taking. But, if
you cling on to the 'treasures' and the 'worries' of your earthly
life, you might miss it. You might miss out on a life living above
the waves of this life. Wouldn't that be tragic? You will be like a
traveller dehydrating and giving up in a desert, even though an
oasis was just around the corner. Tragic.
Storms there will be, but you will
have the ability to rise above it all and to handle it through My
mighty Spirit. Are you ready to make the conscious decision and
effort to transform your mind to think as I do? I hope you do, you
won't be disappointed, in fact you will come running to Me for
more.
Ponder this:
- Write down what you are stressed about at the moment.
- If you looked from a spiritual perspective on these same
issues, do you still have reason to stress about them?
- Exercise being still in God's presence. Sit still and drink in
His presence, through your spirit communing with His.
- See yourself as part of His new creation. What is true of you
and how will it change your outlook on life today?
- Read and meditate on the following Scriptures this week:
- Only those that have God's Spirit can understand what His
Spirit is saying - 1 Corinthians 2:9-15
- Your new creation within doesn't sin - 1 John 3:9
- You were born with an evil nature, but Jesus gave you a new
life - Ephesians 2:1-5
- Do not stress, God looks after you - Psalm 127:1, 2
