Our
imagination cannot even fathom the depths of glory, which God already prepared
to share with those that love Him. Yet, for those who are Born Again, our
spirit realizes that God has our best interest in heart in every aspect of life
now and in eternity.
God's
Holy Spirit freely reveals to us the mysteries of God, which are hidden from
those who do not believe in Him. They are blinded by the spirit of the world,
and consider Biblical concepts as foolishness, because they cannot spiritually
discern them (1 Corinthians 2:7-15).
Unbelievers
reject the gospel, because its power convicts them of their sin. Some people have
been wounded and disappointed in life, and they blame God for what they
experienced; yet, they cannot escape God's truth, and they intuitively know
that He is calling them to true repentance and belief (Mark 1:15).
With
Christ abiding within authentic Believers by His Spirit, we function on this
earth in our human existence; but we live in and by and through the power of
God dwelling within our body, soul and spirit. We completely surrender to God's
will and invite Christ to reign in us.
This
allows Him to manifest Himself in our individual life, which changes our
viewpoint, philosophy, goals, dreams and desires. We yoke our life with His,
and partner with Him in furthering His Kingdom on the earth. This allows us to
enter into His complete rest (Hebrews 4:9-11).
Our
finite thinking limits God's ability to use us in His power, but He is ever
calling us into a deeper and fuller life of walking by His Spirit, so that He
can bless us in His purposes for our individual life (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians
2:20). We live, move and have our identity in Him alone (Acts 17:28).
Prayer:
Father
God, we are approaching the final hours of existence on this sin-cursed planet,
because Your imminent return is getting closer with each passing year. Thank
You for coming as our Immanuel, and dwelling and dying in human form to take
authority over the world, Satan and our flesh.
We
pray for those on the verge of coming to faith in You. Strengthen them in their
inner being (Hebrews 3:16), so they may believe in You and enjoy Your presence
in their life. Thank You for enabling us to transcend the limits of this world,
and to walk in Your Spirit as we surrender our life to Your Spirit and purpose.
Thought
for the Day:
The
King of kings and Lord of lords, who has all authority and dominion and power
over life in this earthly plane, abides in us - His temple built with living
stones; the government shall soon be on His shoulders, and we look forward to
serving Him for eternity.
