The More We Receive His Glory, the More We Manifest His Glory!!!!

Good Morning and Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of Our Abba Father!

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7.      There is a lot talk these days about because Jesus died for all sins that all people have the benefit of Jesus’ death apart from personally receiving and putting their faith and trust in Jesus.   We are to be in the constant state of receiving and putting our faith in Jesus and what He did on the Cross.  The more we continue to receive and put our faith and trust in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, the more and rooted and built and stronger in Him we become. 

  “As we behold the Lord’s glory, with an unveiled face, as if looking in a mirror, we are being transformed into His likeness, with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit.”  As we behold, trust, receive the Truth of the Father’s Love into our heart, the more our heart is being transformed into the Lord’s glory.   If we don’t believe, receive, trust, behold, take hold of the glory and Love of the Lord, we will not be transformed in the likeness of Jesus with ever-increasing glory.   “As a man thinks in His heart, so is he.”    We become whatever we set out heart and minds on.       

      “Do not be deceived:  God will not be mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.        Sometimes, it seems like we are sowing and sowing into the Spiritual heavenly realm, and it seems like nothing is happening.    What do you do?    “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9.      

    The temptation is to throw in the towel and give up when it seems and feels like all of our efforts have been in vain and futile.   We may feel very weary, like there is no hope left, but the scriptures tell us just to keep on going.  Keep receiving the outpouring of Love from the Father, even if in the natural, we cannot see any benefit at the time.      “Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs them all.  So we FIX our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.     

     We just keep staying in the receiving, trusting, beholding, taking hold mode, even when our natural mind does not understand.      We just do not give into despair, discouragement, hopelessness, we just keep drinking and receiving of the Father’s Love through the power of the Holy Spirit.   As we keep drinking, receiving, trusting with faith in the outpouring of the Father’s Love, which includes all provision that we need, we are being built up, rooted and strengthened into the image and likeness of Christ!

 Our problem is that we look too much to circumstances in the natural realm which seem to contradict the Truth of God’s Word and Love.   We are to keep receiving, abiding in this continual outpouring of His perfect, infinite, unconditional Love, no matter what the condemning and discouraging voices may be screaming!  So by the power of the Holy Spirit, let us fix our hearts and minds on the Truth of God’s Word and Love, even if the blessings are unseen for the moment!   

   We will reap a harvest if we do not give up in our heart!   We just keep our eyes upward on the things and Truths of the heavenly Spiritual realm where we live and are seated in Christ Jesus!!!  We will reap a huge harvest of transformation into His image and glory as we set our heart on us being in Him, as Him, in all of His perfection and glory!!!!!         SHALOM!!!
