The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time shared with me what I should have the greatest delight in. “The Character of God and pressing into partaking of that part of His Divine Nature.”
“Jesus truly wants us to experience all He has and owns on the earth and we must pursue it with all our hearts.”John.10:10.
In Proverbs:18.10 it says The character of God is a tower of strength, for the lovers of God delight to run into His heart and be exalted on high.
I was encouraged by the Holy Spirit to draw on the tower of strength God is. His Heart rather than mine which enables me to be productive and fruitful. I encourage you to do the same.
Through my past relationship with the Holy Spirit I was already conscious of the fidelity of God’s immutable character and heart. I have drawn upon that strength for my life on many occasions but today I gained further insight on how to walk continually in the tower of strength. The character and heart of God is for us to draw upon daily.
Now the Holy Spirit pointed out that only lovers of Jesus delight to run, not just walk towards Him. They go after Him completely and wholeheartedly which points to giving Him undivided time, constant pursuit and attention to how and where He is leading.
In other words, take specific planned time to spend seeking His face, putting aside all distractions and giving Him priority time as Jesus did in Luke:5.16 However, He made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray.
Jesus chose remote places so He could not be disturbed as He ran into the Fathers heart which would be His place of safety and tower of strength. This place of undivided concentration meant the only result or outcome would be exaltation which is exactly where Jesus walked daily in the events of His life being the extension of the Hand of God with signs, wonders and notable miracles.
The Holy Spirit said that as we seek Him that way it will no longer be our natural weak human character and heart that will be seen. Through this process His character and heart will be made manifest through our lives each day we run to Him and permit Him to use our bodies, temples for His glory. As Jesus pointed out these signs shall follow them that believe Him and follow His path. Mark.16:17 & 18.
My heart leaped for joy at this new prospect of God’s character heart being manifested in and through me and working from me. May this become your reality also in Jesus name. Amen. I am humbled at the unique honour of being invited to partake of His Divine Nature/Heart and being an expression of it. 2 Peter.1:4. I was also reminded of Jesus’ words to the disciples that except a man denies himself daily and takes up his cross he cannot be My disciple.
This fresh revelation the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is to become a daily happening because our hearts can so easily be distracted by the fame and honour this brings us. Which then causes us to fall into the snare of pride and that evil way which brings death. There is nothing that compares to walking in the character and heart of God who can then shine brightly through us and change the hearts of men.
I know that walking in the gifts of the Spirit are awesome but have experienced how the fullness of the Gift Giver the Holy Spirit working any area of His possession through us is far greater because there are no limitations.
Just look at the Apostle Paul’s prayers in Ephesians.3:19 that we should be filled with all the fullness of God. Then look at the ensuing result that God does exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to His Power at work in us.This is because it is Him thinking and doing in us.That is His ability versus ours. I beseech you today to make this word of running after His Character your daily pursuit and find the grace bestowed in these words to be what God wants you to be for His glory.
He is looking for His Kingdom of glory to be manifested through us completely and expanded to cover the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. So gird yourself up and pursue with diligence to walk in the Character and heart of God which is your strong tower and place of rest. Have a triumphant day loaded with the benefits of the Most High in Jesus Name. Amen.
