Boy, oh boy, there is so much to written and shared about the following. As I’m sitting here writing this, the Holy Spirit keeps telling me more and more. I wish I could be right there with each of you to share more of it with you, and to have you share with me, all God is doing in your own life in the following type of experience in the Lord.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
I had back to back migraine attacks yesterday. My head feels like it’s in a vice and my brain is pretty beat up. But I have God’s joy and peace that pass my understanding. I’m not left to or stuck in my understanding because God is showing me I can rely on Him and that let’s me live surpassing my own ways and understanding. Does that make sense? ☺
God’s ways are so beyond my limiting, constrictive ways, so far beyond my weak flesh.
Pride keeps me doing my ways and prevents me from doing God’s ways – His ways set me free so I’m choosing every day to say no to my pride and to adopt God’s ways more and more so I can be free indeed. There’s nothing like the liberty I’m finding in Christ! Indeed, it’s True Life!
The Holy Spirit’s joy comes on me as I do and see His ways actually work in my life; as I see them work in this life; as I witness them working here on earth. It’s amazing.
I’ve been having really bad knee cap pain again – off and on for about 18 years. Last week, my doctor told me he thinks I have arthritis in my knees. I had my knees x-rayed on Monday and the x-rays showed there is nothing wrong with my knees. What a blessing.
To celebrate the fact that there is no structural damage in my knees, I was riding my bike around our neighborhood yesterday and thinking about the end times we’re in when the absolutely precious Holy Spirit said, “I want you to have My joy in the days ahead. I can give you My joy no matter what comes up in your life before you come to Heaven.”
Wow, I got a big grin in my spirit and just had to smile as I felt His power supersede my own thoughts. God is so wonderful and He just keeps introducing me to more and more of Himself, Who He is and what He’s capable of.
Folks, I can’t live in God’s joy on my own. His joy comes from Him. It’s supernatural. It comes from the Heavenly realm. In fact, I’ve come to realize that apart from Him, I can’t do anything on my own that brings me His joy. That’s just the point. I keep asking God to help me and He does. And when He does, His supernatural joy fills me all over again. This keeps going on and on. It’s crazy good.
Right now, it’s like I’m living in a Holy Spirit bubble and observing all of the end times events that are happening around me. In God, I can live free from the impact of it all because Jesus has overcome the world. Hallelujah!
He’s telling me I don’t need to have any fear about the days we’re living in. He says I simply need to follow His leading every step of the way.
I’m telling you (many of you are probably already doing this), call on Jesus all day long and let Him give you the supernatural power, understanding, peace, love, rest and joy that can only come from Him. He’s just waiting for us to take on His power that lets us live ABOVE this earthly realm. He loves to release it to us.
For the joy that was set before Him…
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2
Look to Jesus and experience His joy in your life. You can’t come up with it on your own so why try to do so. Please call on Jesus and get His joy that lets you live outside this earthly realm – with His perspective – in every area of your life, thoughts and being.
We love you all…☺☺♥♥
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
