The Best Plan of All: Meeting with Him

I am convinced that unless you experience where the Lord is at, and hear his words, you will not find your identity. This seems to be the opposite of the way the world is going, they seek to find their identity in what they do (which is kind of a paradox) - but in the Lord the only way to find your identity is the opposite. Sitting down, communing and having fellowship with Him.

You see, he does not have IFs. the only IFs I have experienced with Him have been these ones: "If you do not relinquish your right to understand, you will not gain the benefit of me" Equally, there are very few questions. What he said to me last time is "I want you to be filled with JOY!" - this coming from Him, who is pursuing me. I think we have it all the wrong way round. We assume that he is like us, that he is like a man who changes His mind - literally "repent" that he is not on his throne. That we are doing Him favours by going out and doing His will for Him - as if he needed our help. In a way I cannot believe I am talking like this but it needs to be said! It will startle you, he didn't say "if you want to, keep my commandments" he said "If you love me, keep my commandments" - a prophetic picture of seeing His disciples willing to do anything for Him because of His love.

The Spirit of God is very real. What scares me the most is taking these to their conclusions. This means a lot of change for those around me, If I am His witness, there is only one thing to broadcast, the truth. Be at peace, because it is not upto you. He will more often than not, tell you what to do, this is not in a domineering way, this is in His excitement and JOY. He is the Lover, we are the Loved, He is the source of all life.

The Spirit of God is what makes it real. He takes of what is from the Messiah and reveals it to us. This is done to glorify the Son, who has all things that the Father has. He even went onto clarify what He meant, "I am the Son" Listen to Jesus : "You are my Beloved, and my desire is for You" (Song 7:10) people have told you "you are loved by God!" surely that's not enough! Surely you need to know it!
