Jesus spoke to you and me in John chapter 14:
21 “Those who truly Love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately Loves Me will be passionately Loved by My Father. And I will passionately Love him in return and will reveal Myself to him.”
The verb translated “reveal” is used in John’s Gospel only here and in the following verse. As in the Septuagint of Exodus 33:13, it is used of a special Divine manifestation. “I . . . will reveal Myself to him” is more than merely “showing him who I am.” It means “I will personally come to him.”
As our relationship matures with Jesus, we come to know His Divine Intent and take on that same intent ourselves. Why? It is because our mindsets are changed to become like Him, that is to say we image Him. In order to do this we must embrace change in our lives, specifically our mindsets. We must see differently than we have in the past. We must see people as Jesus sees them. What causes us to live in scarcity ultimately resulting in death? It is our flesh.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
5 Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue Spiritual realities. 6 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.
7 In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to His direction, because it cannot! 8 For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. 9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him
Refusing to submit to God’s plan is rebellion and witchcraft. In 1st Samuel chapter 15, it is recorded by The Holy Spirit:
23 “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the Word of the LORD,
He also has rejected you from being king.”
Witchcraft’s intent is to manipulate others and is found in the sins of Galatians chapter 5:
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I choose to walk with God thus I focus daily on changing my mindset so that any thought or orientation apart from Father’s Divine Intent expressed through Jesus Christ, His Words and His actions must be removed. I want to fully please God and this is done by embracing HIS Divine Intent of Love and walking in faith. Enoch had this revelation which The Holy Spirit reveals in Hebrews chapter 11:
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
To be diligent means: steady, earnest, and energetic, meticulous effort to seek out. I do this each morning because I desire greater revelation and look for any impairments or impurities that need to be dealt with inside of me.
I want to remove any and all resistance to FATHER’S Divine Intent. As I do, I mature to a higher more intimate and Loving level of relationship with HIM. HIS priorities become my priorities. What HE Loves, I Love. Conversely, what HE hates, I hate.
I know that when the Spirit of Christ empowers my life, I am no longer dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. This is my innermost desire and I trust it is yours as well else you would not return to these writings.
As a reminder, Jesus came only for the five wise virgins who had sufficient “oil” which indicates that they were fully focused in walking by THE SPIRIT. The other five were left out. This is a hard saying unless you truly understand that lukewarmness is unacceptable and not tolerated in Heaven.
I have determined to be partaker of The Divine Nature. In order to be a partaker, I must have the revelation of Agape Love as my foundation. Upon this foundation of Love, I then focus on faith and hope for mankind.
As I pray daily in The Holy Spirit, I received the needed revelation for that day in order to become a partaker of Divine Nature. All of these writings are meant to lead us to this fulfillment, no matter how subtle at the time. This is all about being obedient to write whatever I am given each day.
