As we walk in Holiness, what should we expect from FATHER?
FATHER has provided each of us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory along with its benefits. To walk out HIS blueprint, we must seek the Divine at the center of our pursuits, asking for direction each morning.
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 29:
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Our Heavenly Father wants to lead, guide, and bless us in all that we do. We can only receive HIS benefits by maintaining an intimate relationship with HIM. If we distance ourselves from HIM, He is unable to provide us with HIS Divine Intent.
Jesus revealed FATHER’S Heart in Matthew chapter 7:
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Your Father Who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
It can be tempting to make our own plans hoping for Divine approval. This is a soulish method of living. Why not get HIS Divine Plan and then walk it out, assuring success!
Would Noah have been successful in building the ark without GOD’S instructions? Seek GOD’S guidance and if we perceive the peace of The Holy Spirit, then proceed. If there is hesitation, it perhaps is a sign to pause and wait for further instructions and clarity.
Intimacy results from consistency in spending time with HIM. We begin to understand HIS Nature, HIS Love, and HIS desires for us. This bonding generates Trust as we understand HIS Heart.
Wisdom instructs us in Proverbs chapter 3:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
In other Words, Trust in the Lord completely, rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go.
An excellent example of developing such intimacy is Abraham’s relationship with FATHER.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 12:
1 Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
FATHER spoke five “I will’s” to Abraham who was seventy-five years old. Don’t worry about your age when FATHER speaks to you… HE Will…
