Coming into the experience of the fruit of the journey I have been on with the Lord.
I am changed. I am not the same.
My pursuit is love, kindness, self-control and patience. I am actually opening up to long suffering.
I pray in the midst of conversations. I use caution and wisdom. My ultimate goal is to bear the fruit of love: safety, healing, restoration, covering.
My desire is to used of God, even through inconvenience.
I find myself not stopping to ask- the answer has been given before the thought has formed.
Foul language and vulgarities sound like nails scraping across a chalkboard.
I find it harder to be around people who are negative, dark and complain.
I heard today on my live: pray. I was hesitant as this was new for me to start and those was no one there yet. I kept hearing pray, pray, pray. I responded with I would (I was going to do so at another time) then I just found myself praying. How did that happen?
After praying the Lord spoke through me. It was as though He shut me down and took over. I could feel the Lord's heart as He was speaking about weeping with others as they wept. I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I began to weep. They were not my tears but His.
Today in worship, I was sobbing through worship as I felt the Lord presence so heavily and He began to speak. I then heard, "on your knees". As I knelt down in front of the church, I began to shake. His words to me were so beautiful that I found a puddle of my tears in the spot I had kneeled.
I feel as though I am becoming one with Jesus.
I don't know what He is doing but I know He is at work and it is working.
I see the change.
Oh, how I've longed to not have the facade of a good Christian with a permanent undercurrent of evil present but true transformation. I didn't want to fake, effort or white knuckle my way through life, I wanted to belong to God.
My prayers are being answered.
I can be a witness to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
I thank God that I am not the way that I was and that He is still at work making me into a pure vessel for His use.
I am thankful to Jesus for giving me access to His mind and heart so I can know His thoughts and feel His emotions as He permits.
Becoming with the Lord is pretty darn cool and its available to you too.
What will it cost you?
Only everything.
Thank you, Lord, for helping me to release everything.
From Jesus:
You are welcome. You are becoming one with Me. The more you lay down the flesh and surrender and submit to Me, the more I can expand in and through You. I AM in you. You always have access Me. More in Me is coming. Just wait on it. It will be worth the wait.
Question of the day
Is it your heart's desire to become one with Jesus?
If so, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in that process.
Scripture
John 17
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
