Today I am heavy laden and drained of all my strength after a lengthy season of intercession and turmoil. I can hardly walk or think.
I am looking at the beautiful mountains here and God just spoke the words "The tapestry of Christ".
This is about the beautiful work of Jesus to refine a believer into His character. The work of Jesus never ends. The tapestry is mostly hidden from your eyes.
You and I cannot fully understand what it means to be transformed from your natural life at birth to a new creature in Christ.
How far do you want to go with Jesus?
Think of a spectrum with the left side starting with your natural life at birth and the right side ending with the perfect life of Christ. The challenge is how far do you want to go towards the right end?
I imagine most Christians never get past the middle of the spectrum because the pathway is very difficult and filled with pot holes.
Jesus is perfect and without sin. He has no ego. No human being can ever come close to this standard.
Jesus is not looking for perfection and He does not desire for you to become a religious robot. He wants to refine you into His character to give you a better life and protect you from evil.
The best counsel is to walk by faith in oneness with Jesus yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Jesus wants you to be obedient to His voice regardless of the conditions in your life or the lack of logic. This will move you to the right on the spectrum and greatly please Jesus.
The pain and agony in the life of a believer is caused by dying to self and living for Christ. This is not an intellectual exercise but requires you to give up your independence and rights to Jesus.
I just met the Living Christ.
This all begins with making a decision to live for Jesus above all else. You will meet the Living Christ and He will enter into every aspect of you life.
There is no one like Jesus. He lives so you can live!
