Good morning Saints!
God is looking for a people who know their God intimately. God is into
relationships with His offspring. We are His offspring, fashioned in His
likeness. We are called to a higher standard of living. One might
conclude that we must learn more or do more to meet this requirement but
God would say no. He says whosoever will? God puts out the invitation
to come and buy from Him, all we need. How do you buy you might say?
Faith is the currency in Heaven. Those who come to God must believe that
He is and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Do you need more
Faith, more Wisdom, more courage? Come boldly to
Throne of Grace to find your help. God is a giver who loves to lavish
His children with Gifts, salvation being the greatest gift of all. When
we accepted this gift, we in essence accepted the giver of life. He is
our Great reward my brothers and sisters. In Him is all you will ever
need. Why do not more walk in victory one might say? Unbelief is
greatest enemy of the church. But someone might say the devil is the
greatest enemy. Jesus Christ defeated the devil 2000 years ago. The only
reason he is still here is for our training. The devil has a purpose, a
usefulness still, otherwise God would have disposed of him. God wants us
to let go of our resources and tap into His. God is training us to be
the Sons of God. We are to be filled with and clothed with His Glory.
Not by might, not by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. We must renew
our minds with the Word of God. Our main symptom that reflects our
position is a identity crisis. We must know
who we are. God wants to reveal us to the world, but first He must
reveal Himself to us. As we behold Him we become Him. Just as the moon
reflects the sun, so must we reflect the Son. God wants to impregnate
you with His Word. He says will you trust Me? Will you believe Me? I
came to bring you life, not as the world brings; but abundant life. That
abundant life is Me. I AM that abundant life that you seek. Will you
let Me possess you completely? Do you belong to Me or another? I AM that
escape you seek. Let Me lift you and take you where I will. I desire to
do a deep work in your hearts My children. Deep calls to deep. My
Spirit desires to commune with you on a deeper level, will you let Him. I
seek those who wish to soar with their beloved. I have thrones that go
unoccupied, this is very troubling to Me. It is not My will that you
stay down there, so I say come up here to rule and reign with Me My
sweet, My love. I AM King of Kings and Lord of
Lords. You have been bred for Royalty. My seed cannot do anything but
prosper. Spend more time in My presence beloved. Let your soul be
saturated in My Glory. My Glory is My ability, are you available? Do you
have time to spend with Me, My love. I desire to equip you, lacking no
good thing. Let Me be your all, My love. I AM releasing My Spirit in
greater measure, but you must seek My Face. I stand at the door and
knock. May I come in and sup with you? My Spirit beckons to you. I have
much more to say, but for now this must be your first priority. I love
you My children, your Father!

Hi Shawn,
I don't think we've met before... I'm Mandy :)))
Re- the renewing of the mind bit you mention... it is my
experience that my mind is being renewed by His Grace
alone... its His workmanship. What I mean is that it is
Him doing the renewing work Himself and then he might
bring something to remembrance and lead me to the
scriptures to show me what he's doing... then he might
show me something that was hidden to me up until then...
ya know, like some of the hidden manna... but its all Him
doing the leading. Does that ring true with you too?
I know it might be the same as what you meant... but it
can be a subtle thing where we can take something and
read into it Ah, there's something I have to do for
myself here... rather than resting in Dad's workmanship
(Grace) to lead us into everything.

Oh, Shawn, what a magnificent word! Oh, it was the Father's heart and the Father spoke. How beautiful, how lovely. I am in awe (not of you, Shawn, though I so greatly appreciate you), but of the message that God is speaking. My Spirit is full yet very light and buoyant with this message. I could drink and drink and drink! What a wonderful God. Thank you so much for coming to us with your words, Shawn. The Father's voice is so evident and you have such a sweet spirit. Thank you!

Hello Mandy and Kimberly. Thank you for taking the time to respond. God has told me to teach Grace, so I am an advocate and a benefactor of it to the fullest. God's mercy and Grace I partake of everyday. Having said that, I would like to respond to your comment. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. We must always let scripture interpret scripture. One must always rely on the Holy Spirit to breath on the Word of God, otherwise you could have a dead letter. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would bring to remembrance the things He spoke. Going back to 2cor 3:18. Jesus is the Glory of the Lord revealed. He is also referred to as the Word of God. As we focus on the written Word, filled with the Holy Spirit, their is an impartation of God's Glory. Thus we go Faith to Faith Glory to Glory. God has also showed me that our spirit is like film. Our eyes are the aperture of a camera. Those in photography know that the longer the aperture is open, the more light can get in. The more light that gets in, the more clarity and detail is evident. So it is with God's Word. It is a virtual Gold mine. This is why we must search the scripture. He has set a banquet table before us with the invitation to eat with Him. He won't force us to eat. That is why we must desire the meat of the Word and not only milk which goes down very easy. Take the scroll and eat, this what the Prophet heard. I hope this has been helpful and in no way harsh. I love my family in the Lord. We must always come in love, encouraging one another and exhorting. We all can and do learn from one another. God Bless! P.S. Everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. I keep falling in love with Him over and over again. :)

Shawn, you said, "God has also showed me that our spirit is like film. Our eyes are the aperture of a camera. Those in photography know that the longer the aperture is open, the more light can get in. The more light that gets in, the more clarity and detail is evident. So it is with God's Word."
God showed me something similar a couple of years ago and I emailed some friends about it. This was a similar word to yours...
Subject: A Polaroid Moment
A couple of weeks ago I was in church during worship and I was telling God, "I want to be more like You," or something along that line, and all of a sudden He gave me a mental picture of one of those Instant Polaroid cameras that when you would take a picture of someone, a photograph would immediately slide out of the camera, but it would take several minutes for the photo to actually develop even while you were holding the photo in your hand. (They still sell versions of the that camera now on HSN). Most of us today are used to digital cameras where the photo is immediate and clear, however God was using the illustration of the polaroid to give me a better understanding of what takes place in the spiritual. The polaroid prints out a photo immediately, but you can't see anything on it right away. It comes out totally black with no picture at all, then it slowly starts to get a bit of an indistinct color but still with no defined image, then it developes a blurry image, then slowly but surely starts taking on depth and resolution until the finished product finally appears with total clarity. God gave me the understanding that just as the polaroid takes time to develope, as I come before Him and as I remain in His presence, I too shall slowly but surely take on His image and become the image of Christ. 2 Cor 3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord are transformed into the same image from glory to glory..." (English Revised Version) and 1 Cor 13:12 "Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me completely." (New Living Translation) and 1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when He is revealed, we will be like Him for we will see Him just as He is." (World English Bible)
