History is being made all around us. Today as we move out of the old Ecclesiastical system into the Kingdom era the pressure is on. To reach the place God wants you to be, you must pass through the
eye of the needle. In ancient Jerusalem this was a very small opening
that required you to bend down and slip through. To move to where God is
taking you often will require intense pressure as your heart and soul
are extruded to reach the reality of your dreams, visions and the the
desire of your heart and His. You will never be asked to go through this
alone but the One who said, "Not My will but Your will be done" He
understands and will go through this with you. Keep your eye on the
prize, fix your eyes on Jesus and this too shall pass. (No pun
intended). What is on the other side is well worth the cost.
We are moving into the Kingdom age and the King of kings is actively moving His people into strategic positions in all spheres of society and culture. This is stirring up a hornets nest of hate, anger and bitterness in many who are defiant of this transition We praise God that He sent His Son to clear the way and make a way and be our example.
Anchor Concepts to this transition:
1. Treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself.
2. Love the Lord your God with ALL, you heart, soul and mind.
3. Love others the way you love yourself.
Let kindness, generosity and, surrender self completely to the love of God and others.
Hey Danny,
ReplyDeleteYesterday (2/7), the Lord spoke to me saying, “Now that you are out of the boat and standing firmly on the water, trust me, let go of the side of the boat and come to me. Take my hand and we will walk together.” The picture I saw of him is the one you used for this blog post: Jesus with outstretched hand bidding us to come to him. I am not kidding!
Thanks for the confirmation.
Blessings,
Bill
Great word Danny and so true. Life can sometimes seem like a pressure cooker, but with Jesus' help, we can come through the fire without even the smell of smoke on us, as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did. Jesus described the kingdom of heaven as the pearl of great price in Matthew 13, and also like treasure hidden in a field, which was then bought by the one who found it. God's pressure refines and purifies us, and is intended for our good and results in win-win, while the world's pressure can often seem like cutthroat, dog eat dog, competition and results in lose-lose. Check out of dry, dead religion asap and check in to the kingdom of God and start living the abundant life Jesus promised and modeled. His disciples certainly did. You can, too!
