Being led by the very Breath of the Great I Am nourishes us in ways we never knew was possible, nor even knew we desperately needed. As our relationship with King Jesus continuous to deepen to profound depths, painful roots are exposed on His journey to intently make us whole and complete in Him. However, King Jesus, our King Shepherd, The active, Living Word of God, intently heals them as Abba, Himself, often encourages us with barely there, beautiful revelations of the state of existence of where He is leading us towards. This happens all while we continuously immerse ourselves into the written Word of God, and breathe in the very Breath of God, praising Abba and wanting all He has for us. Yes, this does include the times where we do need to walk on rough ground, through hardships, uncomfortable situations and circumstances, but the Holy Spirit instructs us through each of them; and we can often see how they were necessary in not only healing the exposed painful roots within us, but also in very significant ways of revealing our true, very unique identities in King Jesus while also strengthening our character and our ability to more fully receive from Abba. Often mindboggling, they become profound experiences, more so than anything of the flesh, as the Holy Spirit intently shows us how our physical and spiritual lives continue to perfectly line up with the lovingly powerful, written Word of God. Each and every time we go through difficult times, while continuing to cling to Abba, our sensitivity to His presence is uniquely nourished. Shalom; God is Shalom and thereby His very presence within us is Shalom. Shalom is fullness, wholeness, wellness and completeness and it is not a peace of this world, where we are in a spiritual battle with the enemy of God, but it is intently nourishing, profoundly powerful and contains an authority given only to it by God, Himself. That is His will for our lives, that is Who He is. Peace is not something the enemy, nor anyone else can ever steal from us, it is always within us because He has promised to never leave us, nor forsake us. And although the enemy may strive to rob our mental consciousness of it, we actively take a stand and send it away because the Holy Spirit has sensitized us to the environmental change it causes, and King Jesus has developed within us an aggressiveness that through self-discipline and self-control we can reveal and speak the specific written Word of God aimed towards it. Trusting that Abba’s Words send it far from us, we then actively turn our focus back towards praising Abba, within us. It is the complete opposite of how the flesh handles it, by placing small bandages over gaping wounds intently trying to heal the symptoms instead of the root cause of it. Wholeness, wellness and completeness is Abba, our loving Great I Am, and He dwells within us as we cling only to Him. Praise King Jesus! ‘Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth His mercy and His Truth. My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Thy glory be above all the earth. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy Truth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let Thy glory be above all the earth.’ (Psalm 57)
