Our Heavenly Father is not some distant GOD whom we have no contact with but HE is willing to be personal and intimate with each of us. After all, we are HIS creation. We each have a designated purpose and set of talents to bring our purpose to fruition and HIS Love has imparted a means by which we can overcome all obstacles we encounter on the way to fulfilling our purpose. HIS first begotten Son is our life line for He overcame sin and death on our behalf and did so in such a manner that there is no question that we too can have and enjoy eternal life. After FATHER revealed HIMSELF in Jesus as our Example, Jesus began to explain how to succeed in life. In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
When we produce good fruit, we too glorify FATHER. Jesus even made a more wondrous emphatic statement that we would do greater works. I know that you may look at yourself and your circumstances and not feel like that overcoming person whom Jesus is referring to in the above passage. I have felt that same way a multitude of times in the past. Our emotions have attempted to convince us to throw in the towel as the heathen rage all around us. This is when we must encourage ourselves in HIS past deliverances, healings, and restorations. Sometimes it is simply good to testify of all that FATHER has done in the past for you and me. As I do that, I am revitalized and re-energized to move upward and onward. This is why I believe it is critical to spend time reading the Words of encouragement directly spoken by Jesus Christ. His Words are life-giving especially when we are in the midst of challenges that would try to overtake us.
FATHER wants to be glorified in us so that a dying world can also have a life line to restoration. What an expression of Love for HIM to empower us to bring more into the family of GOD. The source of all technology comes from the Mind of FATHER. The smallest particle known as the GOD particle is the fundamental building block of all creation and it has the necessary intelligence and intent imparted into it to be combined and to form all living things. It is clear that FATHER has paid attention to detail as HE had HIS Son speak the Words in the above passage. We should not take these Words lightly.
“I will do it” has no implied caveats in the statement. There are no “maybe’s” or “occasionally’s” attached to it. Let us receive the Words of Jesus at face value with an innocent heart, knowing He has our best interest in mind. Jesus further spoke:
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
The Holy Spirit has been given to us forever. There is no time or place where HIS SPIRT isn’t. Let us receive that Truth in its purest form and trust that HIS Holy Spirit is in us as well as with us in whatever we do and wherever we go. As we do then we will be fully led by THE SPIRIT and will fully function as Sons of Our FATHER. Paul embraced the Truth and reality of these Words as he wrote in Romans chapter 8:
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
The Holy Spirit is with you and me today. Let us allow this Gift to fully operate in us and comfort us as we are being led through this life. FATHER has provided us with the necessary gifts to fulfill our purpose and HE is fully and intimately connected with us are we walk through the challenges of the day. Be assured and encouraged by the Words of Jesus as you deal with those challenges set before you. Tap into the flow of the Holy Spirit being connected to FATHER and listen intently as FATHER instructs you how to navigate the turbulent waters that lie ahead. This is why FATHER revealed HIMSELF to us so let us embrace this reality spoken to us by Jesus.
