True Nature

It is time that we as sons of God begin to walk in the true nature and image we were created in. The body of Christ has had this cliffhanger, till I get to the by and by mentality for to long. We are still eating from the tree of knowlede of good and evil instead of eating from the tree of life. We have this woe's me mind set, this I'm just a sinner saved by grace attitude that produces a defeated life. The fruit of the tree of knowledge causes us to focus on ourselves and others instead on the Lord who daily still comes to walk with us in the garden. We have to come into the revelation of who we are. Jesus didn't come to the earth to show us miracles so we would just believe in him. He came to show us who we are and the true image and nature we are. He died on the cross which once again gave us access to the garden. Untill we come to know who we are and to know Jesus intimately and daily we will always be defeated and reaping a harvest of death. The tree of life is in us and its Jesus. We will no longer sing about one day seeing him and knowing him but sing how we know him and see him him now. Once the body of Christ knows who we are, we will march as the glorious army of victorious conquers and more. We will be rulers of righteousness. When we realize who we are, sin won't have dominion over us but we will rise above it and free others. What a mighty army will we be.

Love: Rest

Rest

Love is neither offensive nor defensive. Love always operates out of the position of rest. Fear operates in an offensive or defensive position. When we are attacked and we take a defensive position we lose our position of rest and when we respond in a defensive manor, we don’t impart love. We end up releasing a nature that is not God and will more than likely cause the accuser to attack more or inflame the fire in them. There is no freedom in a offensive or defensive stance. Both of these positions bring a element of control. Love does not control. We can see the true nature of love when Jesus went to the cross. From the betrayal of Judas to his last breathe on the cross, Jesus was at rest. Jesus was possessed by Love. When we operate in love and minister to the broken hearted or even the enemy, love dismantles, and dissolves the walls and defensives that guard their hearts. It is always the Spirit of Christ to come into their hearts and comfort them and heal them. Life is released when we minister from a realm of rest and love. When people are touched by it they are changed forever. Look at the centurion at the cross who sees the nature of Jesus and receives the impartation of love and rest that emits from Jesus. It melts his heart and he is able to receive the revelation of who Jesus is. We too can impart the love of Jesus into those we encounter daily. There is something about the true nature of Jesus that melts even the hardest of hearts and will cause people to weep in love when they are touched by him. In this nature of Jesus, even correction will bring life and not death through condemnation. The life that is in this love will set them free and cause them to walk in his statutes with joy and peace.
