Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of
Our Abba Father!
“Then He got into the boat and His disciples followed
Him. Without warning, a furious storm
came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord
save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you
so afraid?” Then He rebuked the winds
and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!”
Matthew 8:23-27.
We are one with Jesus now in His glorified state! “We are, as He is, in this world.” 1 John
4:17. We are seated in the heavenly
realms, In Christ Jesus right now! Besides
the power and authority that He given to us, we also have the ability to be at
complete rest and calm in our hearts even when the raging, furious storms of
life come against us! The Spirit is
teaching us to drink of the River of Delights at all times, even during raging
furious storms of life! The outside
environment does not change the Spirit realm inside of us, or the fact that we
are seated in the heavenly realms, perfect, in Christ, during the storms of
life!
We are still in the
presence of God and “In His presence is the fullness of Joy and pleasures
forevermore at His right hand.” Psalms 16:11. We
are all learning to drink of the River of Delights and to continually dwell in
the Father’s presence of Joy and His pleasures! Jesus is our example in this; “For the Joy
set before Him, He endured the Cross.” Hebrews 12:2. The Cross was the most excruciating event
in history! The physical, emotional, and
spiritual torment was far beyond any man has ever experienced! Jesus bore all sin and punishment and
sickness and disease and everything else from the “fall of man” upon Himself on
the Cross! Jesus was drinking from the
River of Joy which enabled Him to go through the Cross. We are created in the same way, we are to
drink and live from the River of Delights and feast in the abundance of the
House or kingdom of God!
We were birthed into a world that is full of condemnation
from the enemy. We were all weaned on
and nursed from the well of condemnation, to some degree or another. Because this stuff got into us at such an
early age, it is mostly hidden in our subconscious mind and heart, largely
unknown to the conscious mind. After
praying for so many people like I have, I am amazed how blind people are to their
own hearts! What is obvious to others is
mostly hidden from the person’s mind.
The Love of the
Father and Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is who transforms our hearts and
casts out the fear and condemnation that is rooted deep within our hearts, and
reveals to us the new heart given to us at salvation. Drinking and seeing that Holy Spirit is a
River of Joy and Delight is what sets us free!
“Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17. So as
we drink deeply of our freedom, and how much the Lord delights, celebrates,
rejoices and Loves us, we are being transformed in the likeness of Christ.
We can do this even
in the midst of the raging, furious storms that may be around us. Holy Spirit will make this realm of Joy, Love
and Delights more and more real and powerful inside of the depths of our
hearts! Holy Spirit casts out the fear
and condemnation and replaces it with the all consuming Love, Joy and Pleasures
and Delights of the Father! Are you
ready for these infinite Delights from the Holy Spirit? SHALOM!!!!!!!
