WALKING IN THE
FULLNESS OF OUR INHERITANCE
july 31st
GOD'S HOLY STANDARD HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABSOLUTE
...."He
who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the
Almighty"....
Psalm 91:1
There is no room
for self-desire in the Kingdom [only godly desire], and that is precisely why
those who "maintain" ANY element of unrighteous motivation cannot
[and will not] enter in! God's holy standard has always been absolute, and it
begins with one entering into the life or "lifestyle" of the Cross
[obedience unto the death of the self-life - the continual denial of self] -
continually replacing the impulses of the flesh with a revelation of the
Father's heart and will. If one is going to be properly informed in this final
hour then they are going to have to come to that place of dwelling in the
shelter of the Most High. For it is only from this position of abiding in
"the shadow of the Almighty" that one will be constant [undeviating]
in making effective choices [decisions] - choices that continually empower them
to bear maximum fruit for both the Church and the Kingdom. Because many remain
in a position wherein self-desire is continually fuelled [due to their desire
for self-glory and/or people or things that are apart from the will of God]
they continually come to a place where they are in a "no-win"
situation as far as their "decisions" [choices-discernments] go. For
because of their wrong heart-attitude and motivation towards God every "impulse"
they are experiencing is being influenced by the Evil One and his forces -
without them being "conscious" of it. Because of these things, any
given time they come to a point of decision every option will have its origin
in darkness [counterfeit light and wisdom] and, thus, regardless of what choice
they make they still remain under the control of the Evil One - held captive to
carry out "his" will in some form. This is one of the great
deceptions of the age: a deep darkness covering the earth [world] that has the
appearance of "light" [a revelation of God's will and wisdom] but, in
reality, has no part with the Tree of Life - and, when stripped down to its
deepest element, it can be clearly seen to produce only words and actions that
have their origin in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil [the flesh].
This is the extreme importance of a heart wholly given! For in that proper
spiritual positioning the heart is continually purified and, thus, is enabled
[empowered] by the Holy Spirit to see all things according to the Divine Will
and the mind of Christ. It is written, "Blessed are the pure in heart for
they shall see....." See what? Whatever they need to see [have revealed to
them] - in ANY given moment - in order to fulfil the fullness of their divine
destiny in Christ!
