Spirit life is indeed a challenge to very part of our
natural man. It was this morning the obvious really hit me. Peace is not
attainable in our own ability, it truly is a gift from God. In a crazy time
there is not a thought or action I can do that will have peace and an answer. As
men we always try to think and figure out what directions life is taking, the
consequences and flow-on of our decisions. That works seemingly fine when
inside our own ability but as we step outside our ability and start to live in
supernatural manifestations it truly is impossible to have our brain keep up. In
this case God is creating and when God creates the results are astounding. Of
course our brain will feel insecure and when we see insecurity it is a good
revealing that we have slipped into our own ability again. The apostle Paul
says to Timothy his young student of the faith. “Test yourself to see if you
are in the faith.” This is one test we have when I feel insecure I know I am
inside my ability not Gods.
It becomes like taking a child by the hand and leading the
child. The child has a trust for the parent but has no idea of the bigger
picture. So too a life in the holy Spirit can be seen this way. When our spirit
leads the way our brain can only get small parts of the equation and must
settle for that. It can be most disturbing when our brain wants to figure out
the future but we must rest in our Sspirit man and let the purposes of God
carry us into uncharted territory.
This week we have been sucker punched multiple times. Some
punches were little but designed to wear us down and have us draw on our own
ability. It could be seen as a constant pressure and pressure does not have to
be enormous to make cracks. It just must be constant and ever increasing. The
drama came in that these small punches are designed to have us take control of
what we see as manageable punches. This is the greatest error, if we surrender
to our carnal man to deal with anything we are opening a flood gate of
depression and oppression of the enemy. Every little challenge we need to allow
the purposes of God to deal with. Never be foolish enough to start to DO even
in small ways just because it is manageable.
It was this morning waking up buried in hopelessness God
bought a spiritual strength to the forefront and with a simple prayer life was
released. No I don’t know what the future holds but when my future is limited
to the natural all I get is frustration. My future is almighty God and as I
rest in His purposes I am amazed at what follows. Everyday life falls in behind
the purposes of God and the impossible is created. When I look at my needs,
desires and mortal life I will indeed start to DO. I will take ownership of the
good the bad and the ugly in and around my life. When I live God and His ability,
His realm, purposes and LIFE then everything needed follows behind that.
So I find the peace of God inside my Sspirit and I rest in
it and enjoy its warmth. Even in potential chaos as I rest in God I see chaos
is only a natural state of a carnal man. In Sspirit life that is Holy there is
no chaos and even in the middle of a crazy storm or life situation I can rest
in the peace of God that will carry me forth and know the verse that says. “BE
STILL and know that I am God”
