On this Divine Path that we are on together... each alone/yet one in Him... He is challenging us to face His "Reality"....  and not what we have created as our reality... our 'safe' little worlds, where we have decorated with all the Christian works and teachings and "things" which we thought were pleasing to Him. (things which have been 'right' for a time... but keeping in step with His Spirit, we are being challenged to consider our reality from His
Perspective!)



Now.. HE is challenging us to let Him 'clean house'.. to empty out this house of our creation!  Challenging us to 'let go' of all of 'our wisdom', 'our knowledge', 'our understanding'..... challenging us to trust Him to lead us into the state of being Paul described as 'knowing nothing except Christ... and Him crucified'..... recklessly throwing our full weight upon God! ... Not trusting our limited understanding of Him... not trusting in anything except HIM ... facing the reality of the shaking that HE has brought into our lives... allowing everything that is NOT of Him to be brought to the Cross... a death to all self-rule in whatever form it has taken in our individual lives. Knowing only that we will be LOST completely if HE does not hold us in the palm of His Hands!



As Paul said, letting go of everything of the past, and pressing on to apprehend that for which we have been apprehended by Christ!  Can we rise to this level of faith? Only if God gives us the Faith for this... for all of reason, unbelief and fear will rise up and seek to keep us bound to the limits of our past understanding. Will we embrace the death that we might experience the LIFE that HE offers?



Oh... let us embrace the death to our former 'self'... that our Glorified Lord be made manifest in our bodies!! ... Let us trust HIM to call us forth from this very real death to our past life, into the yet unknown LIFE of Oneness with Him ... which HE seeks to live in our mortal bodies.. May our mortal bodies be clothed with His Immortality.... as we "somehow attain to the Resurrection" spoken of by Paul.

Let us believe HIM whom we have entrusted our very lives, knowing HE is able to KEEP us safe until That Day... the Day of the Lord... that great day of His Revealing. The Spirit and the Bride say COME LORD JESUS...

In this great LOVE of HIS!
