None of us should take life for granted. Any of us can be removed from this physical life in a moment so we should awaken each day with a heart of gratitude and reverence for Our Heavenly Father. As my close friend Dr. Vincent Speckhart would say, “The body is designed to heal itself and the body is designed to live forever.” What causes decay and decline? Impurities of various types.
It is my belief that as we walk in true reverence of FATHER, HE will lead us to the pure and away from the impure. As we become more and more sensitive to HIM, our bodies will respond accordingly. It will not change the day of our appointed departure, but it will improve our days or quality of life until then. Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
How would you like to walk in peace 100% of the time? It is possible as you move closer to FATHER on a daily basis. When your focus is on FATHER and HIS Character, you will experience fear and trembling as some point as an outward response to reverence. The more you think on these things, the true, the noble, the just, the pure, you will begin to experience changes within yourself. There will be a change in priorities and you will suddenly need less to live a blessed life. You will begin to see others in a pure manner and have compassion on their circumstances and become sensitive to their needs. You will look for ways to be a blessing in their life rather than exploit any weakness you encounter.
There are many who are looking for a title or status to hide or mask their insecurity. If they can only be acknowledged as someone important then maybe they will internally live up to that which they present themselves to be. Compared to FATHER, none of us can claim any title or position other than being one of HIS children. We should simply be grateful that HE saw fit to reveal that fact to us. As we mature IN HIM, the need for facades simply vanishes away. We now look forward to serving HIS Divine Intent of Love rather than our own individual agendas. Can you imagine an earth filled with those who desire to serve in Love?
There has been a theme of late of “judgment and justice” swirling around in the SPIRIT. Those who would attempt to exploit HIS Called Out Ones or interfere with HIS mandate will find out what fear and trembling is all about. When the day of visitation has arrived, the allowance of sin and lawlessness is no longer tolerated. When HIS Presence is at hand, the ground becomes Holy and we must remove our shoes. When we remove our shoes, we yield our rights and any perceived authority and submit to FATHER’S full and complete power and authority.
As we experience true reverence of being in the presence of FATHER, we will change. That continues to be the theme of these writings. As Romans chapter 12 states:
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
I expect that many will soon experience reverence in their lives and when that happens, the outer shell will dissolve and the Truth will only remain.
