MY FRIENDS, WE MUST SEEK GODS SPIRIT OUR LIVING HOPE!

“Your presence Lord there’s nothing that could ever compare or could ever come close because You are our living hope. So please, fill this atmosphere of our heart with Your Spirit, because that is what our hearts long for.”  Yes, my friends, our heart must long for the one who is in constant communication with the one who intercedes on our behalf before “Our Father.” And who makes Christ real in our life as He fills our soul with His presence.

He is our “Comforter and Counselor who Strengthens” us to endure as He leads us into all truth and understanding here on earth because He is “our living hope.” Therefore we must pray daily that “our living hope” with all His “quickening, recuperative, and transforming power, may fall like an electric shock on the palsy-stricken souls [of you and I.]

[Which then Causes] every nerve to thrill with new life, restoring the whole man [and woman] from [their] dead, earthly, sensual state to spiritual soundness. [We] will thus become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust; and in our souls will be reflected the image of Him by whose stripes [we] are healed” (E.G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p 267)

My friends, we must now look into our heart and ask God’s Spirit what is hindering a total access to our “living Hope.” Because I don’t believe where we are spiritually in our relationship with God is where we need to be. So it must become personal, because it is our contrite heart and our prayers that we are asking God’s Spirit to Search, and try us, and know [our] thoughts: And see if there [is] any wicked way in [us], and lead [us] in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)

And when self has been completely eradicated, it is at that point we move to the next level where God is leading because we can never stop developing or growing in Christ if heaven is our destination. Sanctification is a lifetime process that God’s Spirit takes us from level to level to level until the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.

And the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord.” 1 Thess. 4:16-17 (KJV) And my friends it will not end there because it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another. All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.” Isaiah 66:23-24 (NKJV)

All flesh, referring to the redeemed who “have conquered [Satan and self] and by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of [our] testimony, [we] loved not [our] lives even unto death.” Rev. 12:11 (ESV) So it all comes back to our faith and endurance to Go all the way with Christ as we allow His Spirit to lead us to the next level in our relationship with Christ.

And my friends that next level we must be prepared mentally and spiritually because that is the level we respond when Christ asked us to become a disciple “deny self,” “forsake all others” as we give our all to finish up His mandate here on earth as we take up our “cross daily, and follow Him. Daily my friends not when it is convenient within our schedule and time frame. But in accordance with God’s Spirit and Gods will and God’s time.
