The following
means He will remind our perception, our emotion, and our willingness who God is.
And Jesus
said, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things I
said to you.” John 14:26
What
does it mean “to be made in God’s image?” God says, “Mountain you move" and it moves. Humans say, “I'm going to move that mountain” and we invent a dirt mover. Much slower, but we get there.
They
were seen as grasshoppers, so they felt like grasshoppers. Numbers 13:33.
When the innocent
Jesus died on the Cross, he removed any adult excuse for innocence. And yet His
death, burial and resurrection paid for our guilt and we are no longer accused
but now have excuse in Him. [1Jo.3:19-22; 4:4]
When we deeply
commit to a loving heavenly Father, He helps us wipe out all the pretense of
life. His ultimate reality collapses the pretense of facts, of heritage, of
happiness. He makes all things real.
As an exercise
for the new year, tell everyone you are going to pick a specific time of day,
like 6pm to 8pm, and you will practice TOTAL honesty.
They better not
talk to you then unless they want total honesty.
We surrender the
Self once to Christ. Then we have a daily unfolding of that self surrender with
each new submission experience.
