The reality of the Presence of THE SPIRIT of GOD is a taste of eternity!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking first The Kingdom is our responsibility and has an immediate, practical application.  We are to bring forth Heaven to earth and Jesus has equipped us with The Holy Spirit to accomplish such a command by living an ascended<\/em> Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in that abiding Presence, abiding in Christ, is the taste of eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus spoke these Words in John chapter 15:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 But if you live in Life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you\u2014then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 \u201cI Love each of you with the same Love that the Father Loves Me. You must continually let My Love nourish your hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 If you keep My commands, you will live in My Love, just as I have kept My Father\u2019s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by His Love. 11 My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus intends for us to bear much fruit as mature disciples.  Our fruit should glorify Our Heavenly Father and not ourselves.  As we mature, joy will fill our hearts to overflowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, He united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority<\/u> of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as One with Christ!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we walk in this revelation of being co-seated<\/em> with Christ, we will apply the power and authority granted to us by Him.  Learning to live in this reality conditions our heart more than you realize.  Our priorities totally shift away from anything the world has to offer.  In this reality, we begin to see and learn and understand that we couldn\u2019t learn any other way.  We now see what we are supposed to release here on earth to benefit mankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus spoke in John chapter 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 No one has ascended to Heaven but He who came down from Heaven<\/u>, that is, the Son of Man who is in Heaven<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot ascend to Heaven except that Jesus first descended to earth.  He spoke and acted from Heaven\u2019s perspective.  Jesus provided us an insight of how He lived and functioned in His earthly ministry.  He initiated bringing Heaven to earth as Our Example.  He has also enabled us to walk in the same revelation since we are co-seated<\/em> with Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus was resurrected, ascended, and then glorified and seated at the Right Hand of THE FATHER.  Jesus implemented what is in The Heart of THE FATHER here on earth.  As well, we are to learn to implement HIS Heart, say what HE is saying and doing what HE is doing here on earth which will glorify HIM alone.  As we do, we actually implement or help to enforce HIS Will on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

35 On the same day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40 But Jesus said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disciples petitioned Jesus rather than acting in faith and dealing with the adversity themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renewed mind lives with a realization that sometimes GOD would rather do something through us than do things for us.  FATHER desires to release HIS will and purposes through you and me.  This is the ascended<\/em> Life we are intended to walk in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
