To have a personal relationship with the Lord is practical; because he is practical
And to have a practical relationship with the Lord is personal; because he is personal.
And to have any relationship with him at all, is nothing less than miraculous, nothing short of a wonder and a certain sign that God wishes to have full communication with us, and us with him.
God is personal and miraculous and practical – for he is forever mindful of the results of his actions and the usefulness of them – the advantages and the disadvantages of a procedure – and to him they are a practical certainty – he knows the outcome relating to practise and he knows the actions and outcome relating to ordinary activities, and even though humans have variously limited abilities and God is unlimited - Jesus tells us to practise his words; and to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect -
For in our practise we will do what Jesus has done and the greater things we will do, but we are not to rely on our own insight and understanding; but always carefully paying attention to what we hear from the Lord, for being open to his teachings gives us more understanding, and to the more, more understanding is given –
Practise is the habit of performing a systematic exercise for the proper acquiring of skill or proficiency – to exercise or pursue as an art in order to acquire skill in proficiency – so we are to pursue the art and skill of knowing and understanding God, and build our house on the rock of Christ of whom is our certainty – our hope of things to come – our assurance and confirmation of the things we hope for and being the proof of the things we do not see and the conviction of their reality.
God’s miracles are astounding and amazing and astonishing, but they practical and effect us all in a personal way – in a personal way because all his miraculous acts are God communicating with us – he is not just communicating a healing to us or a deliverance or speaking through an earthquake – he is communicating to us also how it is done - for he shows himself marvellous and astounds us with what he has to say – he amazes us with how he says it – and he astonishes us that he even wants us to share in this form of communication with him at all – his miraculous acts and his mighty word is how he creates and destroys – that is how he gives life and takes life; that is how he takes of himself and gives of himself – it always comes through an act of God, which is God communicating with us – God conversing with those of us who are still reigned in with limited capabilities, and he is desiring that our limits be now his limits, and as God is unlimited so it is to be for us who remain in Christ, and in whose hearts his word remains alive.
God does work in miracles, and in the miraculous - his miraculous signs to us are his distinguishing mark – of his power and ability – the power to accomplish an action – the ability to perform the action out of the power of perfection – it is to show us how to work out of the power and perfection of the spectrum of feelings and emotions – desires and hopes and wishes – out of a spectrum which has an unlimited range, and an unlimited way of conveying and conversing.
His wonderful signs and miracles are a signal or event, that communicate God to us - and the communication between the Lord and us can only be satisfactory to him if we have taken up the skill of listening to him as Jesus has taught us , for it is the way he listened to the Father and watched what he was showing him – it is a level of undivided attention and listening techniques which will allow us to become a true listener of God as Jesus and the Holy Spirit are – for it is the purpose of every sign and wonder and miracle of the Lord to communicate to us, and it does, but we do not hear see or understand the language of the miraculous, and will continue not to, until we know and understand the full outspreading of where they come forth from within God – for only then will every sign, every wonder, and every miracle from the Lord be heard by us as God intended, and will communicate to his people the unheard of, and the unseen things of God – we will have to also be able to respond back to the Lord in the same way – we have to have the impartation in us of their origins, before we can take the manifested miraculous event and know from where in God it has been released.
For to communicate is to impart knowledge, to make known to us through the interchange of thoughts – and actions and words - it is giving us a connecting passageway to participate with the Lord as there is the interchange of knowledge, understanding, wisdom, thoughts, hopes, justice, correction, desires, qualities, quantities, properties - communication with the Lord is so diverse and necessary for us to take in the all of him, for in every avenue of communication does his impartation to us come so as to leave nothing he has said to us unheard or misunderstood - and so nothing he has shown us goes unseen or uncomprehended and it is for us to have the same clarity as we respond and speak to the Lord -
He wants to bring us out from under the shadow of never knowing and place us in the penetrating light which streams pure knowledge and pure enlightenment of the still untapped reservoirs within the Lord. He is taking us and with a personal guided hand and is moving us out of limited knowledge into the full pure stream of the light of Christ which the Father holds and directs out like a sceptre, and they have agreed to allow it to fall onto those who have been hand selected – a decision made with much care for he is directing us to a place where we can behold and see in our hearts, and then manifest the majesty of Gods full way of reaching out to us; and through the ultimate way of the miraculous he wants to converse with us while we are on earth - for us now there is no higher way of communicating with our Father who is the God of all miracles and who can split the earth and melt it – who can raise the dead and even makes stones rise up to praise the name of the Lord - but how few will come into the stream of light for God alone directs and controls its immense concentrated power- for it is pure, concentrated unharnessed creative life which is formless in nature but which streams from him as in the form a sceptre – this is the life which is in the light of the face God, in his presence, his wrath, in the world and in the light of the knowledge of the Glory of Him. You want to stand in God’s light as it reigns forth unharnessed, raw and eager to come forth in its powerful form; then unless you can look into the brightness of God’s word as it is before you, then you will never be able to stand in the stream of the all of the pure God, for he is Light and life in its perfect untamed form – his word is the contained radiance of him and if we cannot even be in its presence in this form, then the light by which we came from will never grace your flesh ~
Jesus is the full radiance of God in a contained form we could be near ~ but God has a form which is not so contained, which when it is released would power forth unrelentingly and purge and purify all in its path for it, for when released it can be held down no longer ~
God in all his marvellous and magnificent ways is practical and communicates in ways which will reach us at all levels – but the Father is looking for ones who can take and sustain what is held in his untapped reservoir, and only by submitting to his methods and his ways can be made privy to it – for it is not God’s way of communicating to us which is jumbled and mixed up and needs deciphering because it is too hard for us – but it is our ways of communicating with him which are jumbled and mixed up – and it is only the Lord’s pure word to us which gives us clarity and enables us to hear the superior things without our heart becoming hard and proud, and it is only the Lord’s word to us which will allow us to come into seeing what is only fit for eyes which have penetrated the heart of God, and then plunged into the place within him where all of which is pure and abounding with exuberant life take their place until called forth ~
All things formless and unmanifested mixing but at the same time remaining separate and distinct in their nature and their purpose ~
When God goes into his full unharnessed ways of communicating all is revealed – in full flight God’s interchange is so revealing as he maintains full mastery over it - that to speak to us in miracles, and to answer us with wonders, and to express his joy or disappointment in a sign, is God being who truly who he is, and doing what he does; and in our non ability to answer him in the same way is us being who we are, and doing as we do, which is all else but what Jesus told us.
We are to have this method of conversing with him and it will emerge when we pursue the skilful art of practising, and pursue the discipline of obeying the full command of the Father and the full words of Jesus; and that is where we begin doing the things Jesus did – for only from that position can we come into full conversation with the Lord and he with us ~
For it is not just us missing out, it is the Lord missing out as well when we do not set our hearts on acquiring the skills of God.
And even as we begin to acquire the skills, how wonderful it is for our hearts, and the heart of God, for even then the miraculous is taking form in us.
And as he is a God of the miraculous he would be pleased to have us communicate with him at the same level - to be ones who have pursued this skilful art and can converse with him on every matter, and in every way and any way he chooses, for then the transition from one method of conversing to another will be flowing and uninterrupted and extremely powerful.
And it begins by receiving the teachings of the teacher; who is God’s communication to us – Jesus is God’s word – his miracles - his signs - his wonders - his entire person and the entirety of his emotional being and he gives us the ability, to have the ability to understand what the God of all the heavens and earth is saying to us – and gives us the supernatural capability to respond. Jesus gives us the power and the capacity to receive God - to welcome him and to accept him - and the Holy Spirit unceasingly pursues the active desire in us to master the skills Christ gave us, and to learn with proficient efficiency – he pursues our heart so it becomes set on reaching out for the unattainable and unrevealed recesses of the heart and person of God, with a mind with full and purposed intent to be taught -
His methods of teaching and relating to us come through so many avenues, and remain concealed from us unless we are searching for the more, and chasing after a relationship with the Lord which defies and leaves behind anything the church at large considers the only or even the ultimate relationship with him - if men say we have attained a high level of fellowship with God then we know that we have only begun – for when men believe they are at top level then that is the Lord telling us to step closer for there is much much more - for when men stop pursuing the artful skill of practising Gods word, and begin to indulge in the luxury of resting from practise - then it is because they think they have achieved the end result of what they are practising - but until we are in New Jerusalem and living inside of God, then we are nowhere near the end result – and even then it is only the beginning ~!~
Every aspect of the Lord is for us to learn, as is each and every Godly skill of communication - and the demand from us is to have a unfaltering obedience and a strong and unrelenting defiance in us to listen to no one except Jesus Christ; and for our hearts to remain blameless towards God, perfect towards him, fully committed to him and completely his – just like the heart of Jesus Christ - anything less and we will not be teachable by the Holy Spirit and he will not impart to us the knowledge of all the ways of God and the knowledge and understanding and the mastering of the ways he is communicating with us – they will remain hidden from us – as many things were hidden from the understanding of the apostles of Jesus Christ.
For as Jesus was sent by the Father so he sends us in the same way – and Jesus himself came by the way of a miraculous event and went back to the Father in the same manner - so how super charged up with heartfelt emotions which give rise to God’s responses and actions, are God’s miracles and wondrous signs of which we have to know how to replicate.
The Holy Spirit wants to now start pulling out all the stops so full pure teaching from the Lord flows to bring us into his full penetrating and all revealing light stream of which the Father holds; and as it is the pure penetrating light of God it also radiates out the light of the pain of separation from the LORD; the pain of which the Father wants no more - higher and more efficient and more practical and personal ways of conversing with the Lord our God, has to be mastered by us – has to be accomplished by us - a constant miraculous relationship with him, and he with us, is what will allow the completion of the work of the Holy Spirit – for we will really be Holy Spirit imitators when we are in constant and full powerful communication with the Lord as the Holy Spirit is; truly working as one – communicating as one – so as miraculous is God in us, and so are we in God – our thoughts conversing; our hearts in communication; that is how the work is accomplished as purposed and ordained by God – and this wonderful and astounding extremes of fellowshipping with our God – Father Son and Holy Spirit will continue when the Holy Spirit departs – but the oneness with him never departs but is strengthened and made steadfast because of our loyal practise and our committed and non ceasing interlude with him - always learning because we are always teachable – and always humble because we never cease listening only to the Lord and searching out the more of the heart of God; and are persistently and consistently asking the Holy Spirit to help us so as we do not fall into the false luxury of men’s interpretation of confident rest ~
We have to come before him and state our willingness to learn and know what it takes to be always teachable by his Holy Spirit – learning and being taught like our teacher, Jesus Christ by the same will of our Father – to say we want to be just like Jesus are easy words to say and our mind wanders to the advantages to us if we were just like him with all his powers at our disposal - to be just like Jesus we have to have the source of his manifestation in us – and it is as always up to the Holy Spirit to weed us out, for he knows the mighty source of eternal emotion and thoughts and feelings which will come to reside in us when we take up our true fellowship - our true miraculous fellowship with him while on this earth.
Jesus who is the manifestation of God came into physical form out of the deep ravines of God’s surging and living emotions – Jesus is the word of God and God so loves his word that he sent it to us, for out of his word which communicates and which was made visible, came his signs and wonders and miracles –
How many ways did God communicate to us in the time of his visitation to earth; – he allowed us to see the source of his miracles -
from where they came - they came from the entire person of God, his entire emotional being, from all his untapped and all his unreigned desires and hopes of an eternal origin – all this he has to draw together to bring into existence that which is the manifestation of a multitude of various and splendid and unmatched feelings in all there diverse and divine ways, for they are all in their pure form and powerful and unheralded in their own right – for the pure we have not yet tasted of or experienced in their true and untouched form – for one drop of a pure emotion or feeling or thought in us, would consume our whole being and all our senses, and we could not function on this plane of the physical – and so it is this purity in all its entirety which fills our Lord and God and the three of them know what the unleashing of pure God will have on his creation – for when God unleashes it and it comes forth in unbridled power given it by the Spirit of life, it rushes forwards and manifests what is unseen, fulfilling God’s expressed will and wish.
Unseen, but so mighty in its formless state is all that resides in the far reaches of God, that it is manifested, and becomes reigned in by a state of form which has to be seen; it has to have physical presence as its containment in the unseen form is no more.
Jesus is the full manifestation of the entirety of God - his emotions his feeling his righteousness his power his desires, his justice, his pain his values his principles, his humanity – all and everything he so gloriously is; and even as the tiredness in the body of Christ was proof of his humanity; his physical body also could not help but manifest the tiredness of the Father as it rose in him to have its manifested form – it was his tiredness of our insolent and hard ways; of our cold and unreceptive hearts, and even as he walked amongst us the dust of the ground from which we came soiled his feet as he trod the path to the cross, for the removal of that dust from us, for the removal of the guilt, and to take for us the punishment of our sins so we may have the forgiveness our Father wanted to give – the forgiveness of the sin of our rebellious ways -
And how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news;
And whose footprints but the footprints made by the feet of Jesus do we dare to place our feet into – for his footprints make a path for us to lead us come back in the right direction, in the right way, and if we ask and state our wish and will as we take our rest in him, he will direct us into the seemingly impossible, and teach us how to have full wondrous miraculous communication with God.
The Lord is tired of seeing what he wants us to know go unknown by us –
He is tired of the drops of the knowledge of him of which will never join together enough to draw us to the place of unequalled communication with him, which is to communicate with him through the practicality of signs wonders and miracles. His signs, his wonders, his miracles to us all an indication of something about to happen – and to let us know that the Lord has spoken –– and that he is doing something - and that he is wanting to converse with us -
They are of mighty significance - it is the Lord wanting to teach what others would say is unteachable, and for God only - it is a supernatural event –
Yes; by all accounts it is; but the real supernatural event is us being teachable and understanding and hearing and seeing and then communicating back to God, and with God, in the same way he communicates to us – to communicate back to him by a miraculous sign as we acknowledge his wishes and will - to have our hearts and feelings and emotion working with his so a sign or a wonder will manifest from the very source of our emotions which are indeed Gods’ emotions as well - this is interacting with God on the level he wants and desires – it is him being himself and us desiring to be grown, to be the perfect image of our Father and Lord - for out of his untouched pure teachings comes our joining with him in heart, mind, feelings emotions strengths humility pains and joy – the stream and volume is endless as is the nature of our God, and only his teachings can lead us back into his heart; and to know the heart of God is to be one with the miraculous of God - we have to be conversed in all ways in which the Lord communicates; and then ourselves be conversant with him in the same unadulterated way; in a way not tarnished or corrupted by men - any corruption in us will see us disintegrated; for at the manifestation of a miracle, the heart of the miracle itself will react to our hearts and any trace of rebellion, or any trace of what is not of God in us, will remove us, and we will be our own judge as God allows us to reap the error of our ways; to reap that which we have sown in our hearts –
But if we are living in constant communication with him, it will manifest out of us as we are conversing – it can be conversing in language and words or feelings or desires or pains; or it can be we are experiencing together and sharing with him his delight as he ponders and enjoys his universes, while at the same time continuing to live on earth, but as one now who also is living with and in God - one in every thought and experience – truly he in us and us in him - that is how we can move and live and manifest as God lives and moves and manifests and communicates – it will not be in the way of men on earth anymore, but in the way of God on earth – signs, wonders and his miracles appearing, for his movement is ours and ours his - his plans and strategies ours and will come to pass not out of our struggle or our strength - not by might nor by power but by his Spirit of Sonship will they have their being…
Constant and true fellowship with God is constant unstrained and unrestrained prayer which comes into being in our talking with him and having a relationship with him based on full truth and uninterrupted communication – for communication can be achieved in quiet stillness as well as in words and actions – for even in the quiet stillness there is immense power and volume;
It will be the manifestation of one who lives in constant communication with the Lord – one who find their absolute rest in him – it is natural to God that we rest and live in him, and for him and with him in consistency - for it is the only way he can bring all which is supernatural into us who are still human - and we do this by being in constant fellowship with him to the point where there is never a time when we are unknowing or unhearing or unaware of his thoughts and action or where in his heart he is - and when our fellowship with him is interrupted miraculous conversation with the Lord will not manifest and it will not be the Lord walking on earth doing his work, but will be ones who have no abilities or miraculous powers or relationship with him - walking in their own footsteps to areas unknown and far from the Lord’s righteous footprints.–
We cannot do the same as Jesus did and the greater things if we are trying to go about them in a way common to us - for what is common to us is the ceasing of the practise of Gods word, common to us is not having astounding and amazing miraculous events manifest as we communicate and speak with the Lord – common to us is a church which cannot manifest miracles or communicate effectively and efficiently with God, so as to know exactly what he is saying and showing us as he reveals the more of himself with such grace and dignity –
Astounding and astonishing and amazing – wonderfully magnificent – displays awesome power and unheard of and greatly impossible works of art - that all sums up our Lord and God – but when others talk and communicate with much less intensity than this, we hear and listen to them – they are not astounding or astonishing or amazing or wonderfully magnificent but we listen as if what they are saying is - how easily do we disregard our great God and continue to replace him with those within his creation, who do not know him, let alone have been consumed by his greatness.
Jesus came to astound us with what was wonderful and marvellously amazing – it had to be hard and astonishing to us – for he was wonderfully made and displayed awesome power – and showed us great impossible and unheard of things –
His presence to us a wonder and a sign of things to come, and what we will have to do and accomplish through him – for he has a dynamic quality - power and ability to accomplish God’s actions – a miracle ruler who administers power in righteous perfection.
He showed us miracle after miracle which came from the heart of God – and which revealed the heart of God; and the life which is in his heart. Miracles from a mind of total excellence, manifested from the thoughts of God which are centred at his point of desire and reach out to us to bring us to where we should be – and that is back to him doing what we should be doing because our Father does them, and our brother has already shown us how; and already given us the ability to succeed in also doing the greater things, which will fulfil God’s expressed will and wish.
When we ask to see a miracle we are asking to see God and when they asked Jesus he would not always reveal the Father to them;
For he said no one knows the Father except the Son and those whom he chooses to reveal him to.
He reveals the Father through miracles because he is miracles and cannot be revealed in any other way – for how else can he be revealed or seen or portrayed or represented, if not by a miraculous means ~
The all responsive heart of God is where all is manifested; for his heart extends to the very limits of the unlimited - his emotions his attitude his feelings –
So how do we think they are going to manifest out of us -
The miracle of creation; the miracle of birth was thoughts from the Lord’s wise and caring heart which was full of life and eager to give it; and life was bursting to come forth and show itself in all God’s creation - and it was very personal and manifested in a very practical way – miraculous to us yes – but anything God does is miraculous – and all that is miraculous comes from God -
And any miracles or signs or wonders which are deemed as false are false because the true heart of the miracle is missing – there is no communication with the Lord and that in itself is the heart of the miracle and without it there is no part of God being manifested – for all true miracles are a manifestation of God himself ~
To work in the miraculous is for God a practical process which brings to him his desires, his will and his wish, and to bring to us our needed communication with him at the highest level for us to come to truly know the very all of him and to have full communication with him so all he wishes to reveal can be now released –
For this is what we need to survive the last days – it is supernatural, and it is beautifully practical making us self sufficient, not because of self, but because our Lord and Father and brother have raised us to be able to stand alone – because they have poured themselves into us to make us sons and daughters who have the Spirit of Sonship, who has made us just like him – so much so that we stand in the face of adversity, and we remain faithful to our Lord as we take on the teachings of Christ, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit so we could be brought with humility and an unsurpassing will and wish to know our God, and to come into his stream of holy unleashed understandings and knowledge and begin to communicate with our Lord in the same way he communicates to us – this he loves – for us to want to learn how to speak with him – to learn how to listen to him – and to learn the correct way to respond in all righteousness, so we unleash in the physical realm what we have now powerfully alive in us – all our feelings and emotions and thoughts full of life as God’s are, and racing forth to have their manifestation, for our love for God can no more be contained – just as his love for us could not be contained and we came from the formless into a manifested form –
The life our God gives us is no more able to be held down under the shadow of not knowing – under the oppressive darkness of limited and false knowledge - The Holy Spirit will return to the Father, but he will be proud of the ones he has left behind on earth to wait for the return of Jesus; for they will be a righteous and true imitation of himself – ones who will be a true and faithful representation of him and who he is – and will be those who not only have faith when Jesus returns; but they will be the manifestation of faith on this earth when Jesus returns, for that is how the Spirit of Sonship has prepared the Sons and Daughters who are heirs of God and Co-heirs of Jesus Christ .
God is our miracle – and we are his –
He is miraculous – but to him it is life straining forth in powerful force to manifest that which has remained still unseen, but which is purposed by God to be seen - God loves life – he is life and he is love and he loves the life which is manifested out of his emotional being.
And it is for us to know the source of his emotional being – his feelings - for when we do we will know the source of our own.
Miracles are an effect in the physical world which surpasses all known human or natural powers - that is why to us they are an astounding marvel and a sign and a wonder - and when we can see through and into the centre of what manifested to see the source from which it came - we are seeing the miraculously generous and graciousness of God – as he lets us see into him, and the miraculous reality of his tenderness to us, mere human beings with a life span of just a whisper; for God’s touch upon us in whatever way he releases it, is indeed a miraculous event through which he communicates so much of himself to us – for he fills the whole universe and his touch to us is the touch of the universe which was made visible out of nothing which was already been made – his touch is the touch of truth – it is the touch of freedom – the touch of freeform - and we are to learn so much from it in all our purposed works of building and design; for it can set us on fire and make us formless and yet also with form - it lights us up and illuminates Christ in us and us in Christ – his touch refines us with a cleansing power which can reduce the universe to nothing , and if we catch his breathe on our being, and if he does not hold us, we would be blown away by the sheer force of the power of his love contained in it – because it moves forcefully to have its release.
And even as God’s hand may seem to come to rest on us, his touch moves straight through us – how can our flesh be a hand rest for God –
For he moves through his creation of which our flesh is of no barrier to him; the heavens are his throne and the earth is his footstool.
For all we are made of ceases to exist when pure light goes through us – it may be with such speed that our eyes cannot see it, and our mind not comprehend it; but God’s personal touch to us becomes very personal indeed when we ourselves go back to what God had in his heart before he created us – when we go back into the immense volume of pure feelings - when we are just his dream and his desire, and we are changed and in that moment and we are again made anew in a heart which forever holds and creates us, and renews us each time God heals us – and we re- emerge as the movement of his hand passes through us – for his hand holds his word and his word moves his hand.
His hand is of stars and his mind and heart return to moments when his creation had not yet come forth from all its hidden abodes, and when his mouth had not yet formed the words which were rising from depths which have no ending - and at this stage we are his very image, and merge into his make up, his nature, into his very own dynamic qualities, as a rich surge of emotion erupts through him from our merging with him – it is though he is feeling now complete, and wants that completeness felt in us - for the slight touch of is hand to us or his breathe on us brings us back to a mere feeling within him, when we were but a lustre forming on the hem of his desire – but it was a lustre which lit up the heavens, for even then we radiated out of him and his love for us lit up the heavens, just as Christ in us lights up the world –
We go back to his pure form when God’s touch goes through our flesh and slices us, dispersing all we are made of into different directions – dispersed until God has had his time and way with us, and then we are brought back into our flesh and put again back into our place on the earth – do you know what that means to him to draw us so close to him that he has us back in a way which only by his will, and then by the great power of his love, can he then allow us to be brought back into a form which again is fickle and inconsistent and rebellious in our devotion to him - back into a form which will again pull away from him - and deny his very Name ~ denying even his very existence ~
When the Lord reaches out and touches us the act is so full of emotion; for he knows his heart will sob as we run from his touch and flee from his presence in rejection and fear; knowing it is only his touch, his presence, his word which can bring us completeness, and the sense of belonging we are searching for ~
For his touch to us is the extremes of his goodness which fills the outer heavens. –the universe and what fills them is the manifestation of his goodness in its exquisite form – the purity untouched – the goodness uninterrupted – it is God himself – it is he who is life itself and all the extremes life holds – all of which we do not know yet – and yet all of which he holds out to us so we can come and know what is still unknown to us ~
For it is only out of being a good Father that he knows how to hold us and bring himself close to us to teach us without destroying our frailty – and at the same time using our weakness to show himself strong –
The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness and distress and come to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; ‘for my gracious favour is all you need’ says the Lord; for my power works best in your weakness.
For we are weak, but live in Christ and have God’s power and our weaknesses are turned to strength, and we become powerful and strong in battle and put whole armies to flight ~
He brings himself to us in the ways he knows we can understand and come to know him if we only listen and follow and live in his Son Jesus Christ – the way he communicates to us is perfect and makes it possible for the imperfect to practise the ways of he who is perfect – and to be brought into the life of the miraculous - the way of his miraculous word and all his miraculous actions are ordained to bring us into complete fellowship with him; and that is to also to come into his complete miraculous powers ~
Signs wonders and miracle follow us when Jesus Christ is preached; what is following us is the practicality of a personal God whose love contains nature changing power, and it sweeps backwards and forwards and makes straight paths for him as his signs give announcements of his coming – as his wonders give notice of his arrival and as his miracles herald into our presence the Almighty Righteous One;
The miracle is God giving of himself as he reveals and unleashes the secrets of all his ways; to men and women whose love for him and whose love of him have led them to pursue all the intricate avenues which would bring to the Lord now, what is waiting for him in New Jerusalem.
It is God showing himself to unbelieving men who find it very difficult to accept the truth –
It is God pushing back the curtain so his majesty can be seen and acknowledged.
It is God pushing back the barriers with supernatural events to remove all the divisions between God and men – and how else can the division be removed but for us to now have our communication with him lifted to the highest level – to the level of Christ Jesus himself -
For what else is he to do, so that all may be brought to fulfilment?
The great miracle of salvation was God coming to a practical solution to bring back to himself what he had lost – he thinks different to us and his ways are different, but if all which is ours is lost to us we work out a strategic plan to bring it back to us again – so God worked out our salvation in his way – and he worked salvation by his own powerful arm; the noticeable difference in his ways being his abilities and his perfect wisdom and knowledge and understanding of what is needed to be done, and from there will come a perfect solution brought about by perfect power, and unlimited resources and unlimited resourcefulness.
Whenever he can be himself – he will be – and every opportunity we give him he will take - as every opportunity he gives us to come to know him we should take.
His ways - his practicalities his personal traits – his miraculous nature - how can we live without them – how can we live, let alone live for our God if we are not also having his personal traits and having is ways of which miracles are a way of life – they are now to be the way we do things – for there is no other way to do things which will fulfil the work and will of God with absolute efficiency and precision; and when we are standing on the same vantage spot and Gods point of view is our viewpoint, then we will do as he does – we will think as he does – and we will communicate and respond to his heart and all which fills it through the language of the miraculous – the powerful language of life, which is still in its formless state within parts of God still unknown to us -
Struggling to do what seems impossible will not enhance us in any way – struggle comes from hearts and minds which are not at ease with the Lord, and not at ease with the way he works, and with the way he wishes to have full communication with us; we are now to be looking from God to earth and not earth to God - for from this angle we will be consumed by his greatness, and we need also now to consume his greatness into us.
Being interested in God and interested in the differences between us – makes alive in us an eagerness and willingness to bridge the gap so that our differences are not a division between us - but our differences are our incentive to keep pushing into him - obeying his instruction to level out the valleys and hills in us so our pursuit and practise of his word increases as we allow the scriptures do their work and change us – so we can communicate with him through every miraculous way he so desires - knowing that this will please him –
We can show someone a new task or skill but it is the emotion and desire behind wanting to be taught and to learn which will manifest the skill – if we teaching someone to draw what we are really giving them is the skill to bring forward the emotion and feeling behind the desire to put pen to paper or paint to canvas – it is that which inspires, so that from that inspiration comes a work of art which brings out a different response from all who see it - just as our Lord who is a miraculous work of art, brings out difference responses from all who see or even hear about him - for whatever we do out of the full spectrum of unchained emotion will bring to pass an end result of a multitude of unharvested feelings – all of which is contained in the full spectrum of emotions – the physical manifestation of what is unseen will not come into existence unless where it is coming from becomes the very source of its manifestation; when the emotion takes form and it is your hand no more which is moving the brush or pen – it is much more powerful – much more powerful is the pure emotions of the heart, all of which come from God - for the power is in the feelings and it is that which moves you to give the end result its physical presence.
To be confidently at ease with God and who he is and how he expresses himself, and to allow him the pleasure of being at ease with us – it for him to have his way in us- is for the Lord to have his way of doing things in us and through us – and has nothing to do with us anymore – for even though we stand in awe of him and are always in repentance and in reverence and respect and honour, and always aware of who he is and who we are; it is for us to not then become frozen and star struck; his ways are of course way above and beyond ours, but it is not way beyond us to allow him to have his way through us and in us - it is for him to stand beside us and know we can go the distance because we know how he wants to work – how he does work - that he wants to be himself – and we understand his plight and his frustration, and we aim with all he has given us, to stand on the same ground of understanding and knowledge as him, fully knowing who he is, and yet at the same time – having the confidence of one who has been taught by God, with the knowing not of men, but the superior knowing and wisdom of God himself – to know that his miracles are who he is, and that the way he expresses and reveals himself, is going to open a door to us for his natural ways to become the way we miraculously operate –
For it all comes down to our relationship with him and his relationship with us -
It is for us to be the strong vessel and not a weak timid vessel overwhelmed to the point of being unusable like the majority of the church – for even though we are to exalt and praise and worship his marvellous acts of power and might – it is now with a different way about us – we are exalting and praising because our Lord has finally had his way – it is because he can be himself, and we know that he delights in being who he is – we are delighting not only in the fact that they are miracles to the world and he is being exalted in the sight of men, but because he is doing what he loves to do – and that is our sole aim and focus; for our Lord to step forward and do and say what he wants to do and say, for his souls pleasure and delight - and we will not be ones who are so disjointed and dazed by it, that we fail to stand with him –we are to make a clear path for him- as he made a clear path for us – so he can come in and do what he does best –
Many come to see the ‘miracles’ and to accept them for themselves, taking what the Lord is offering in the way of healing and deliverance and blessings and anointing – and the Lord is there to bring all these things to us for he is divinely generous and gracious and full of mercy and untold compassion - but the true miracles of God are given for us to feast on after his healing and all else has been distributed to those who have come for that reason – it is the feasting on knowledge, on the Lord himself and eating not only on the end result of the miraculous signs and wonders, but to come to eat out of the depths from which they came, so as to learn how to tread the way to the deep recesses within God so we can imitate him to miraculous perfection -
We are to see God the person at work; to know how he works - healing, preaching and teaching which in itself brings full healing to his image for his own sake and not just for ours; for the healing is for God as well – and when God is healed our transformation is astounding and amazing and astonishing and miraculous, and we ourselves become the miracle in the heart of God – as God himself is the heart in the miracle of all life ~
It is to see our God taking centre stage in men’s lives and hearts which are totally and completely and absolutely given over to him without the smallest reserve held back -
And that is where he should be – in the midst of the ones he loves wants to be with - talking with us and showing us – reaching his hand out with a gesture which is full of the love in his heart, and that love holds in it such powerful untold and unheralded miraculous teachings and actions - how can he do this when we leave when he wants to just be himself and sit in the middle of us and share what he thinks, and to ask of us what we think, to inquire of us to know how we did read his scriptures - to ask us face to face ‘what do others think of me’ - and who do we say he is – he wants to share himself and to show us if we do this then this will happen, and if we understand the emotion of our hearts and the heart of God then this or that will come to pass – and if we allow him to unleash himself in us than all things for us are possible - he wants to be a part of our lives and our thoughts and of our dreams – so when he comes as who he is - he is ushered in – and listened to – and respected and honoured – and running over into his lap, as he gathers us close, is our obedience and faithfulness, our patient perseverance and our joyous devotion to he who still is and always will be our first love.
For even as we listen we become more like him- the more we obey him the more we become like him - the more we welcome him, the more we accept and receive him, the more we become like him – that is how we change – his presence changes us, his love changes us in such a beautiful, natural and gentle way if we submit to him – yes to us miraculous, but to God he is just being himself and loving us, and responding to us loving him.
We have the holy scriptures but they do not replace the one about whom the scripture speak of, or to whom they direct us to - but we do replace him and his beautiful face and smile, and his teaching and his training techniques, and all his divine ways which he is so willing to show us so we can live in his ways and speak as he does – and that is through the miraculous.
How can we replace the face of God with what is written or said or heard about him - God’s word had a face to see, and a body to feel – and we are to see the face of God, and we are to feel the full body of his emotional being –
Jesus showed us all aspects of God - the personal side, the practical side, but no matter what he reveals to us it all comes under the one umbrella of miraculous for our God is a God of miracles – so the art of miracles we are to learn ~
We cannot replace his presence with the written scriptures which were meant to bring us to him face to face; we are not meant to replace his face for the preface of his written word – a preface it is what comes before the face of God manifests to those who already have the face of his word in their hearts.
To see the miraculous is to see from where it came – and until we see the source of God’s miracles they will remain miracles seen but unseen - here one minute and forgotten the next just as it has always been – but they are given so that they leave behind an eternal piece of knowledge and understanding of God – he comes, he speaks, he acts, it is a miracle because it proceeded from the mouth of God; just as Jesus did and just as we did ~
Jesus came to bring a sword and not peace – the peace he wants is peace in our hearts - it is the peace of hearts which are one with his – and at one in his rest so we can find the quietness and solitude and stillness to allow his emotions at full strength to merge with ours - it is only in this place where we will learn; for only in this place where the heart of God and man are one, can we possibly take on our stance of miracles and our stand with God and for God.
When we allow the Lord to be who he is, we come into the fullness of being who we are; and until we do we will never be able to converse with the Lord in the way of the language of miracles but will remain as ones who only look but never see and only hear but never understand.
We can say the words Jesus said – for they are written down for us to read – but they are the manifestation of the emotions within God – we are with the strength the Holy Spirit gives us, to move into God’s dwelling place of emotions, for they are unbridled and unrestrained in pure life and power and we are to be one with them, knowing the nature of them and what the life in them manifests when brought into the physical plane; the Spirit of life and power will help us feel the intensity of God and the fullness of eternal raw unharnessed feelings which the Lord pulls into perfect form, from his great wisdom and knowledge and understanding; and will enlighten us as to the outcome and the effect the release of them will have on all of God’s creation and on God himself. We are to desire to learn what generates God’s pure word out of him – for he has already told us we have to know how to mix and combine all that he is and all that he holds in him – and he wants to teach us this very skilful art which in itself brings understanding to what is design and what is building when it comes to God –
The teachings of the Lord will be indeed miraculous, for they will take in all which has never been accomplished by men before, and miracles are the manifestation on the physical plane of all which men deem supernatural and impossible for human beings - but listening to Jesus and the practising of his word – makes the manifestation perfect – for all things come from God - and God is in all things which come whether in their unmanifested or manifested form.
Out of God comes all emotion and feeling and all that they bring - and then a word from him brings into action a force and power which brings into existence all which generated the word – and who but God generates the word – who but God is the word – so it is God who is always manifesting into our physical plane - word by word – revelation by revelation - miracle by miracle – wonder by wonder and sign by sign – the power so great, so straining to be given precedence and form that there can be nothing that is deemed impossible with God.
It us for us to work backwards – to see the result – to see what Jesus did – to hear what he said – to see his reaction when he was presented with the problem; and to then to know how he felt, and we can only do that if go into the great depths of which there are no limits, of the deep unharnessed emotion that is in the Lord; and to know where it resides and the power it holds –
To know how the Father responds to the life in his powerful emotions – for he knows the outcome when they are released in their perfect combination -
We have to know the all of that which is God and what is held within him in all his rooms, of which extend back into ravines and deeps which have powering constantly in them unheralded surging power of life which is waiting to have its release to accomplish God’s perfect will -
The Lord and God of all things is so great and mighty and marvellous and astounding and astonishing and even when he tells us he sustains all things by his powerful word – we have no idea of what is really held in his boundless word and no idea of the all of the ‘ALL THINGS’ which he sustains and contains and controls with his miraculous word – his miraculous word which he gave to us, so we might know the ALL things which he sustains by his all powerful word, the manifestation of which is held in the purest and holiest of vessels which is Jesus Christ ~
The Holy Spirit teaches us the finer and more delicate of the ways of God so we may be more finer and delicate and articulate in our imitation of Him ~ finer more delicate and articulate does not mean that there is no power and that there is no authority or that we are not rich in all the ways of God ~ but it is knowing and experiencing all the ways of God - for held in these Godly qualities is what restrains with powerful ease all which is rearing up in life, and so eager to come forth that the very heart of God is extended to its very eternal limits ~
We always are saying that the Lord leaves the best for last – and he indeed has ~ what has been kept for last is the all of Himself coming to us in all and every way, it is God revealing to us the only way to the deepest of his ravines, and it is God bringing into us the very all of his miraculous ways, all of which can only bring out the very best in us ~
And the very best in us, is the Holy Spirit of God ~
The very best in us is what God gave us ~ and that is the Spirit of Sonship ~
