This is something I have been mulling over in my spirit for a while. Some of these thoughts are from my journal."Eternity is no place for struggle. The things that compete for our attention now have no place in eternity. Desperation for eternal perspective has to come to the people of God. We can become so complacent in the things of the Spirit but there is so much more for right now! MORE NOW! ETERNITY IS NOW! There is grace to forsake struggle right now because none of these things hold a candle to Jesus.
Fasting and prayer: Jesus is worthy of us having no distractions! Our decisions are not inconsequential. The fruit of these decisions is fruit and greater awareness of the Holy Spirit. We choose to lose fruit in our lives when we ignore the grace given to us to live victorious lives.
This IS an adventure to us, but not to God, as in, He is sovereign over all things; nothing surprises Him! All of this uncharted territory we are walking in is new to us but it is not unfamiliar to God. ' Come up here, see what I see!' God is calling out to us to receive his sight, which is a new level of sight for us. Peace in chaos stems from this sight. A strong identity in an insecure world comes from this sight."
We can ask for his perspective and believe His word that says when we sow in the Spirit, we will reap in the spirit. We can believe that when we obey commands to fast and pray in the secret place, that it is productive by the Holy Spirit within us! HE is producing in US eternal things, including eternal perspective.
This is so encouraging!
Love,
Bethany
