When God speaks a word in our heart and causes us to understand that He has washed us and cleansed us we can proclaim His goodness. There is a confident trust because we understand that we have been washed by the Blood of the Lamb because of the goodness of God. We are called to glorify God by entering into His presence and rejoice in Him. There is a wonderful manifestation of God's glory in our life when we lay hold of His goodness.
The inability to share Christ is rooted in a lack of love for people and unbelief. So many are fearful to share Christ because they don't believe that Jesus will miraculously come through. The Lord will keep us held in a difficult situation until He puts a boldness in our heart through a difficult trial. What God says - He will do. This truth has to be worked into the fiber and fabric of our being.
When we choose to follow Jesus there has to be a complete upheaval of a former inner value system. So many today are following the wrong Jesus. Many don’t want to follow a Christ that uses His resources and power to help others. Many want the power of Christ but not the path of Christ. Following Jesus will lead us down a road of self sacrifice. It is at this crossroad where many turn away from following the Jesus of the Bible.
When Jesus died and descended into hell taking captivity captive, He unlocked every prison door. There is a church that will arise in power and strength and those with a withered right hand will be healed. This church whose right hand has been restored will know how to do spiritual battle and this will cause all of hell to panic.
There is a deep abiding inner peace that only comes from Jesus. This peace is deep within those who know and understand Christ and trust that God has everything under control. When God's word is entwined in our heart and mind we will be led down a pathway of peace. This peace is the mark of the work of God. However, when we begin to leave the single pursuit of glorifying God and begin to find pleasure in this world your heart will turn from truth. You will find yourself being led away from the will of God, led away by a lust to satisfy self, and you will lose the desire to be a servant.
Early in our childhood we begin to form a picture of what we hope our future will look like. Often, as we age, our reality doesn’t match our desires. We risk disappointment, discouragement and a down-cast heart. Then Jesus comes just as he walked alongside those on the road to Emmaus. He reveals to us not only our brokenness but he also tells us his story for our life which is always greater than our own.
When we purpose in our heart not to feast at the enemy's table and we refuse to refashion God by our unbelief and disobedience God will give us a supernatural discernment to recognize and resist every defiling temptation of the enemy. The same God who reveals the source of this defilement will give us the power to move away from it. When we refuse this defilement by faith we will be empowered to influence others with the same truth. God wants to raise up a Daniel company and impart us with this excellent Spirit that refuses to be defiled by Satan.
