hyperetas…google it.

we had staff worship tonight and the Spirit really worked in me and put into perspective how I view God. It seemed like elementary truth being restored within me. I was reminded of how God is not an idea of blessings and a ultimate source of power where i send in requests and try to please. God is not this routine of good that is practiced within my relationships and daily morals. God is powerful, yes, God is good, yes, but God is God. How can I possibly try and mesh Him into my life? How could I even attempt to plan my life and then throw God in? How foolish and naive. I am but a servant to my God and completely molded by what He wants and pursues through me. I am not just another guy, I am not just another man on the Earth, I am a Spirit breathed creation of the living God, and in that I will find my power and in that will i pursue the desires of my heart. I pray that my mind stays open to the workings of the Spirit and not closed to who God is and what He’s doing in His creatures, I pray that my mind puts a clamp on what I think I know about God but more of a rip into the curtains of what God is shining through. 

 I hope God challenges your walk and perception of His glory. Trust in the truth of His salvation, in that God’s glory is inevitable.

word.

 

we try to create and build our own surroundings.

we try and find true joy in God’s creation.

we try and soak up the world in others.

we try and find purpose in others.

we try to live a worthy life.

we try to live a life.

we try to live.

 we try. 

 

this just makes me think of how little of my pursuit of the Kingdom actually is focused on God and His love, grace, and power. So often it seems that I find my “fill” in the things He has done and the great many blessings He has given me, which are so great, but they are not my God. I do realize and understand that part of glorifying God is finding that satisfaction in His blessings and in His great will, but I still feel that God is still most glorified when our satisfaction comes directly from Him and our pursuit and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. I have now come to a realization that true worship is simply defined as fellowship with the Holy Spirit -in this I believe that we encounter and live with the Spirit as Christians, but when we delight in His presence (trials, convictions, healing, power, etc.) and truly delight in the Spirit, we are worshiping. If that’s singing, reading, dancing, closing your eyes, meditating, etc…so be it, I believe it to be worship. I love this idea and perspective God has thrown at me. In John 9:35-41 it tells of how Christ healed a blind man and it wasn’t until after Christ told him that He was the Son of Man that he began to “worship”. I think that when we realize who we are loving, ‘worshiping’, and claiming to live by we begin to worship. When I fear my God, commit to my God, and ultimately realize who I’m talking, living with= I worship Him to the upmost. By definition, if I do truly recognize Him, I can do nothing but worship Him in my life.

 

I hope that made sense (?) I encourage you to read that passage in John, if my lil weak paragraph didn’t make sense I guarantee God won’t hide anything from you lol.

Perspective

Things keep happening with the Lord in a pace that is almost overwhelming. I had asked several of you to pray for a new perspective on things and lose the luxury of comfort in my world… thank you for your prayers and please continue to do so. In regard to your prayers, God has rocked my world no doubt. My passions, motives, and even my purpose was just what i didn’t want – comfortable and selfish. He opened my eyes through simple activities through out the day to how my mind functions in regard to my own glory and advancement. God has appointed a challenging environment for me and a challenging atmosphere to grow in, but He remains sovereign and good. I have a new love for His will and glory, not just a feeling of responsibility. Something quick and hopefully it makes sense… challenge yourself to be more for God’s glory.
