An open heart
A moment in time …. a fresh perception…. an inner transition …. all relatively familiar territory for believers who live in pursuit of God…
“He loves those who pursue righteousness.”
Proverbs 15:9 NIV
Milestones, however, are potentially less frequent…. and then occasionally, there are the broad brush, landscape altering horizons of heavenly intervention… when “spiritual realities are expressed in spiritual words” 1 Corinthians 2:13
Heaven touches earth
A moment of GRACE that equips us and gifts each one of us to touch, experience and initiate in response to living in the reality of ‘Father in heaven, how majestic is Your name. Your Kingdom come and Your will and purpose be fulfilled on earth in my space as it is practised in heaven…’
A Spirit inspired and infused environment creating an atmosphere that flows from the intimacy of the relationship we enjoy with Him. This is heaven touching earth… the beauty of Eden in the new creation.
One momentous morning a few years ago, reading the exceptional letter from Paul to the believers in Ephesus, I recall pencilling into the page…
‘Wow! What is this?’
A fresh landscaped horizon beckoned… with all its infinite beauty…
Scripture records others with similar confluences of heaven and earth…
Moses and Joshua in the tent of meeting or potentially an Enoch walk?
The upper room where Peter declared that “this is that…” It is the heart of the Father!
For ALL believers!
A vocation
I arrived at Ephesians 3:1-11
… a call of grace to make ALL see…
… a mystery HIDDEN for the ages…
… in the heart of the Father
Held in his heart, unrevealed to avoid a potential outcome as noted ‘none of the rulers of this age knew; for they may never have crucified the Lord’ 1 Corinthians 2:7, 8
… a VOCATION for the ecclesia, the called-out people, both corporate and individual to display, exhibit and live out ‘the many faceted wisdom of God’ revealed to the principalities and powers…! Wow! Nothing less …. than our hearts joined to His fulfilled purpose.
New territory!
Just imagine
Let us imagine… a community… a generation… the ecclesia STANDING anointed and graced. In holy OVERFLOW, initiating transition, with the Kingdom of God in evidence to all!
A people redeemed, in grace, presented faultless and forgiven, CHOOSING the will and purpose of God!
This is the manifest multifaceted WISDOM of GOD! A new creation as envisaged in the heart of God. A REALITY on earth! A result of triumphant grace! Wow!!!
Can we trust …believe Father for this to be a reality, influenced by His grace in you …and in us?
The call
A call in the Spirit to ALL… this is your vocation NOW revealed…
Never allow this to be minimised or neglected… I am set to discover the depth of this revelation.
Eyes fixed on a fresh horizon… a heart in intimate unity with the Spirit… a walk where there are no footprints…
Come up here!
“Hear me as I pray, O Lord.
Be merciful and answer me!
MY HEART HAS HEARD You say,
“Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds,
“Lord I AM COMING.”
Psalm 27:7, 8 NLT
