BEHOLDING HIS GLORY IN US

  • Welcome to Christian Forums, a Christian Forum that recognizes that all Christians are a work in progress.

    You will need to register to be able to join in fellowship with Christians all over the world.

    We hope to see you as a part of our community soon and God Bless!

The Holy Spirit is "the Helper" not "the Doer." He will do His part, but He expects us to do ours. It is good to be able to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit, but we must not stop there. We must go on to seek Him for what our part is and then do it.

We must constantly seek to understand God’s purpose for our life (our DESTINY in Christ). - (Matthew 7:7)

Some measure of repentance always precedes the implementation of Gods CALLING on a persons life. To "prepare" and "make ready" is the purpose of repentance. Let us be sure we understand: We need to understand our Christ identity, our right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit.


IMPORTANCE OF DESIRING TO BE LIKE HIM

True repentance is to come to understand and implement God’s purpose for your life. It is a vital aspect in the overall sphere of spiritual maturity.
"bear fruit in keeping with your repentance" (Matthew 3:8).

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” – John 15:8

“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.” – John 15:16

We have been promised, "He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).

As long as we desire to be like Him, His rebuke will be a door into His presence and our DESTINY in Christ.

When we get a vision from God, we step out to do something with it that will bear the fruit Jesus requires (John 15:8). We are not like the wicked and lazy servant who can't see beyond himself. (Matthew 25:24-30)

CALLED TO BE SALT AND LIGHT

Ephesians 4:23-24 "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye PUT ON the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (We have to PUT ON walking in the Spirit.) ie. We make the decision each day to be led by our spirit rather than our soul (mind, will, and emotions). We walk with our spirit being led by the Holy Spirit.

The world is getting darker, fast. However, we are here for a reason. In times of greater darkness, greater light is needed and will be given. As deep darkness covers the earth, it will be our greatest occasion of all time to walk with God and be His messengers.

Do you have the message God has entrusted to you with your Christ calling to advance His Kingdom?

Are you beholding the glory of the Lord?

Can others behold His glory on you?

A SUPERIOR COVENANT

"But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is meadiator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises." -- Hebrews 8:6

We are told in 2 Corinthians 3 that we should be experiencing more glory than Moses did. We have a better covenant than Moses had. We can have a closer relationship to God than Moses did, and Moses met with Him face to face. Even so, and much better than that, He has come to live in us! He never leaves us.

HEARING THE LORD'S VOICE

The Holy Spirit is opening the ears of believers to hear more clearly the Voice of God. All who are seeking to hear will hear the Lord's voice clearly. "Be still and know that He is God" (see Psalm 46:10-11). Behold the Heavens--they will clearly speak the Lord's message. The release of revelation will increase, therefore, ask for your spiritual ears and eyes to be opened (see Ephesians 1:17-18).
