What Do You See?

He called us before we sought Him. He loved us before we knew Him. He saved us before we knew we needed to be saved. He initiated all things regarding our lives before we ever were. He initiates. Then, we respond. That is the sequence. In Him is the source. And in us is the response to that source, His life.

There is a life, a walk, a “consciousness” above all the “realities” of this life. It is a life ascended to the plane it [your life and my life] was always destined to exist in. It is a heavenly life available right here, right now - on this side of the grave. We don’t have to die to receive it. He already did!

It is a life far above “what we could ask or even think.” And the good news is it is available now!

There is a path the vulture doesn’t know; a path wherein the strong lion has not trod. It is when we are seated with Christ in heavenly places (spheres) that we are not subject to the jurisdictions of this earth. The calamities, disappointments, broken relationships and lost opportunities of this life are not our final outcomes. Perhaps they are the spring boards of our greatest triumphs.

We are in this earth, but we are not of this earth. We have our heads [thoughts of infinite possibility, faith and trust] and our lives [the substance of who we are] in heaven, but our feet are walking the earth.

There is the breaking of the dawn of a new day. It is a day of a declaration of “peace, be still!” and one of contentment, holiness and purity. “Arise, shine!” will be the trumpet call from the realm of heaven and we who are of that citizenship will respond because “darkness has covered the earth and gross darkness the people.” I believe that day is upon us today.

1 Timothy 1:17 says, “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Seize the day with the expectation that God is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Receive the day with joy and thanksgiving and all that the day has that is worthy of joy and thanksgiving will receive you.
It is a reciprocal relationship.

Psalms 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.”

What has He loaded your day with today? Selah.
