- I was travelling home today and a number of thoughts continued to challenge me. One of these thoughts was, "what is my inner reality?". In other words, what do I believe on the inside, in my thoughts and how closley connected to the Father am I. Ok so no one is watching, It is just you and the Father.... What goes on with your thoughts? <"()))>< Have I gain any ground and am I intimately aquainted with my Abba Daddy.
Ok here is a picture. Jesus is in a boat and He falls asleep. The weather gets bad and a storm comes up and the Disciples are freaking out. They are afraid for their lives. They come down to where the Savior of the world is and ask Him the most bizarre question. Jesus, "Don't you care if we parish?" Jesus was not living in the same reality as the Disciples were. He was attached to the Heavenly Kingdom of His Father. From there he responded. He got up and when he spoke immediately there was peace. The storm was gone.
Now if you or I tried this, I imagine that nothing would happen. Why? We are not connected to the Kingdom. The Kingdom is suppost to be in us, yet it isn't. We have not made the leap. To stay connected as Jesus was. Is it possible for us to be as connected as Jesus was? I believe we can and here is how.
We need to allow the Father access to our lives. Live in a surrendered state. Abide in Him and He will abide in you. The Kingdom of God will spill out from the overflow of His goodness in you. We will become like the one we so adore.
I have to confess though. I have not calmed any storms, I haven not healed any lepors. Yet! But I have one thing going for me. I want to. I want to do everything that Jesus commanded us to do. But it starts in me. I have repented for my unbelief. Now I need to lay everything down, but this time I need to live in the expectation of what He is going to do. Listen. Wait. Worship. Sit at His feet. Allow Him to love on you. This is what I need to do. I can do this anywhere. When we do, the Father who is longing to meet with us, comes and so does the joy and peace and comfort.
What is you inner reality? Is your inner reality affecting the people around you, or are the people around you affecting you? When the world is closing in on me, I am no good for them if I can't stay connected to the Father. I want my inner reality to affect those around me and those who are in my life. I want to have the passion and fire that brings change.
You can pray this prayer with me. When you come into agreement with me you and I will have what we pray for.
Father, come and fill my life with your goodness. I surrender my life to you in Jesus Name. I give you permission to bring the change in my life so that I will have a more intimate relationship with you. Father come to me and change me. I don't want to live and be affected by every wind around me. I want to bring your love and goodness to change me and those around me. Give me the encounter I need to change my life for you. I thank you for what you are doing and going to do, in Jesus name. Amen
