1 Corinthians 15:24 - "Then the end will come; Christ will overcome all spiritual rulers, authorities, and powers, and hand over the Kingdom to God the Father."
THIS IS THE HUMILITY OF CHRIST -- WHAT HE CONQUERS, HE THEN SURRENDERS.
IN HUMILITY ABRAHAM TAKES ISAAC, AND OFFERS HIM BACK TO GOD.
DAVID CONQUERS JERUSALEM, THEN DEDICATES IT TO THE LORD, CALLING IT THE "CITY OF GOD".
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THROUGH FAITH WE NOW OFFER BACK TO GOD.
John 16:13 - "However, when He comes who is the Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but will tell only what He hears; and He will make known to you the things that are coming."
The deep things of God are known only to Him, but are revealed to us through His Spirit. That is the promise of 1 Corinthians 2.
Indisputably, our great desire is to soar in the Spirit and obtain revelations of God's nature, power, strategy, and insight. However, to best accommodate this great privilege, we must be firmly "rooted and grounded" in Him. We must "Go deep in order to go high!"
WE MUST BE:
1. Rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:17).
2. Rooted and grounded in faith (Understanding Christ's finished work, who we are in Christ and our inheritance in Christ.)
3. Rooted and grounded in truth (Understanding God's Purpose for our life - our CALLING in Christ.)
The more firmly we are grounded, the more capable we become to penetrate Heaven by the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation and embrace insight with understanding.
AFFIRMATIONS:
I confess that I am led by the Spirit of God!
Because I cooperate with Him, I don't waste valuable time, energy, or money, and I don't shed a lot of unnecessary tears.
He leads me past every attack: He helps me avoid each strategy of the devil; and He safely guides me to the place where God wants me to be!
Song of Solomon 2:11 - "For lo! the winter is past, the rain is over and gone."
YOU COULD HAVE FROZEN FROM THE EXCESSIVE COLD OR BEEN OVERWHELMED BY THE SNOWS AND STORMS OF SINS. INSTEAD, YOU BECOME STRONG DURING THE TIME WHEN YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LORD WITHIN WHILE THE STORMS WERE RAGING WITHOUT. THE COLD HAS DESTROYED ALL THE INSECTS - THAT IS, THINGS THAT WERE FORMERLY ACTIVE IN YOU AND WOULD HAVE DESTROYED YOU.
