If you and I are not receiving from Heaven, FATHER is not the problem… we are. Each of us must assess our priorities and determine where the Word is in our list of priorities. Is it at the top? If not, that is a sure indication that something is amiss.
It we are not receiving the revelation of HIS Word, It will not operate in our lives. This is why I begin the typical day by praying in The Holy Spirit. I choose not to turn on the TV and focus on the world’s events of the day. My focus must begin with FATHER, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit. After all, They are the reason I am still alive.
If you are not receiving the Love of GOD in your life, it is because you have not received HIM as your FATHER. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 4:
14 I’m not writing this to embarrass you or to shame you, but to correct you as the children I Love. 15 For although you could have countless babysitters in Christ telling you what you’re doing wrong, you don’t have many fathers who correct you in Love. But I’m a true father to you, for I became your father when I gave you the Gospel and brought you into union with Jesus, the Anointed One. 16 So I encourage you, my children, to follow the example that I live before you.
Each day I write, it is intended to have you focus on what The Holy Spirit is saying that day. I have no agenda apart from hearing The Holy Spirit and conveying what He intends to bring forth. Each day is a new day and I hardly ever know ahead of time what will be written.
I need to continue changing until I am perfected in Christ and I am sure it is true for you as well. I purpose to remove every spot and wrinkle as well as keeping my lamp trimmed with the oil of The Holy Spirit.
The most important revelation we can receive is the Love of THE FATHER. It is not analyzing books of The Bible or mapping out time cycles. It is not becoming an expert on “signs”. It is not becoming an expert on Biblical numerology. All of that is generally “head” knowledge. It IS all about Agape Love!
Agape Love both nurtures and corrects. As we become mature, we are to walk in discipline and obedience to The Holy Spirit. Why? FATHER has instructed us that both are required to come into full maturity.
In Luke chapter 22, Jesus spoke:
39 Jesus left the upper room with his disciples and, as was His habit, went to the Mount of Olives, His place of secret prayer. 40 There He told the apostles, “Keep praying for strength to be spared from the severe test of your faith that is about to come.”
41 Then He withdrew from them a short distance to be alone. Kneeling down, He prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup of agony away from Me. But no matter what, YOUR Will must be Mine.”
43 Jesus called for an angel of Glory to strengthen Him, and the angel appeared. 44 He prayed even more passionately, like one being sacrificed, until He was in such intense agony of spirit that his sweat became drops of blood, dripping onto the ground.
If Jesus fully submitted in discipline and obedience, so should we. Jesus knew FATHER’S Love Plan must be fully executed so that you and I could be restored to an intimate relationship with THEM. Jesus sacrificed Himself for our benefit and we must never let that Truth become “commonplace” in our thinking.
I must stay away from any teaching that distracts from the preeminence of these Truths I am sharing today. Do I need more intellectual knowledge and instruction? No, I need revelation from the Throne Room. I need greater revelation of Agape Love and FATHER’S desire for intimacy with me. I need to remove any hindrance or distraction which would steer me away from HIM. I am “all in” and I hope you are too!
