We are so tied to
Christ that unless we identify with Him and see His life as our life we
will be most miserable. Just being with the Great Shepperd is enough to
have a revived soul. When we go to Him in prayer we are so revived that
we feel like rejoicing all day long. We feel the soft tunes of heavenly
music. We hear millions and millions of people singing hymns as if they
were standing around the throne of God all in unison and we feel to the
deepest part of our innermost being waves of the Spirits sweetness come
over our souls. We are so revived that we want nothing but Him. We are
so enraptured in Him that all the joys on this earth we receive from
things and people can not compare with the Spirits infusions of revival.
We sense His presence swallow up all the earthly noise so that we long
for heaven, weep on the inside for this state of joy and envision Him
enrapturing us beyond any thing we could think. That newness of infused
restoration is always available to us when we draw near to Him. He is a Shepherd who calls us to prayer and then gives us glimpses of what it is
like to be revived ,as if we were there with Him in heaven.Contemplative
Even
when we are confronted with trials He lifts us up above them in His
hands and displays His power to those around us by sustaining us,
destroying our enemies, and shows the world that everything we have is
given to us by Him, He hold us in His arms as He speaks powerful words
in the worlds ears , saying to them "this is my child. He is my
cherished one , I give Him my best, and He does nothing to earn it. My
child is without power to over come you but because I love Him and i
being His Shepard you will not lay a hand on Him. My child is precious
to me. You may see him stumble, and sin but I have forgiven Him and I
have not forgiven you so it does no good for you to blame my child. He
is in my house." I will show you by my childs helplessness just how
gracious I am.
Not
only has our Shepard shown the world just how exalted His sheep are,
but He has given His sheep a profound evidence of that care. He not only
has shown the world by presenting His sheep to them in loving His own
but He has given His sheep a great assurance that they can rely on Him
in the presence of the world. Yes He has pour out His Spirit beyond
measure, He has given us the Spirit so that out of us flows rivers of
living water. We have been given joy unspeakable and full of glory. We
are lifted up in power beyond our ability to grasp that power. This
baptism of the Spirit is not only over our souls but it is in the
training of our bodies. The Spirit infuses life into our bodies and
causes us to have acts of trust, strength , ability beyond the normal.
He is so in control of every part of our being that any exercise of
physical strength is given or subtracted by His Spirit. The Spirit
trains our hands for battle and helps us subdue our enemies. His
Spirit gives us specific instructions about a particular circumstance
by using the wisdom of the word and He gives us a word of wisdom.
His
Spirit gives us a supernatural sense so that we are more aware of what
is to transpire in the immediate future by this sense. His Spirit leads
us into every circumstance in life to show us just how powerful His is
to overcome any trouble. His Spirit goes out in front of us and prepares
the way. His Spirit causes us to want and desire the blood
thirsty justice of our enemies and at the same time the love of God to
be manifested in every space in the universe. His Spirit causes us to
desire the end of all things so that Christ will be all in all. His
Spirit moves us to act, grants sleep to us, causes us to help others
beyond our own abilities, giving us confidence to have more faith in
Gods provision rather than our understanding.;His Spirit comes to us
in prayer and broads over as we breath out our petitions lusting in us
for more of pure words of wisdom so that He can fall on us with
infusions of sweet assurance by having us know Christ in all of His
person. He teaches us to pray by giving us His prayers in the scripture.
He teaches us the wisdom of a petition. He wants us to petition God in
such a way that there will be a direct effect from pleading the promises
and then He comes and lust for more of our desire. He lust for the
sweetness in our desire for more of Christ.
