Abba, being guided by Holy Spirit, Creator, Healing, Living in Jesus, refining, struggles, Victory
The profound and precise attention to detail and timing, the inner peace, the feeding strength, the soft encouragement, the enriching nourishment, and all of the other private gifts you have personally received through your intimate experiences with Jesus is not meant to just help you through the moment, but it is also instrumental in helping you in limitless ways. Each struggle and issue are experiences which reveal a whole new insight into the very real truth that Abba loves us more than anyone else ever could, and it sharpens our focus towards being able to see and understand an important truth: only He knows our inner struggles, our inner thoughts, and our needs, more so than what we know about ourselves. There is a danger of placing your struggles under a label, or rationalizing them away, or listing them under other “normal” conditions or similar things, or worse yet, claiming that “it could be worse.” Because when that happens, you begin to start undervaluing the victory over each individual struggle you encounter, tiny ones or big ones; and in-turn you begin to undervalue yourself, and more importantly undervalue the Lord’s Hand intimately involved in your life, which can then undervalue the unity between you and the Lord. What we deal with matters to our Abba, and each individual issue and struggle not only plays an important role in allowing us to miraculously experience the manifestation of our Lord’s active Hand involved in our life, but it also is a new opportunity to be passionately refined by Abba’s loving, refining fire. Only our Creator can refine us through the experiences, producing a beautiful, devoted and faithful child full of His love, safeguarded by the Holy Spirit and united with Jesus.

God, Holy Spirit, Living in Jesus, nourishment, Overcoming all things, perfection, relationships, struggles, victory over sin
Overcoming sin has nothing to do with being perfect, that should never be in question, because there is no possibility of that ever happening. However, an understanding that there are sins you normally wouldn’t recognize as sins is very important. And as you, as a lifestyle, moment by moment, choose to be more aware of Jesus than anything else, you are able to hear the Holy Spirit’s utterances in recognizing a sin for what it is. Some of them are hard to digest, and with your deepening relationship with Jesus, stripped down bare and to the point- a sin can be as simple has turning away from Jesus, doing what He has not led you to do, although in the flesh it may seem like the right thing to do; or even not handling an issue as He is leading you to. Have you ever considered the possibility of what society views as acting sympathetically as being a sin? Yes, it can be that hard to recognize and digest, and it can be another clear “eye-opener” in regards to you not knowing how to truly live, requiring you to live only how your Shepherd intimately guides you to, moment by moment. Which then simplifies your moments. And as you automatically deal with whatever the Holy Spirit is instructing you on as being a sin, it becomes evidence of His actively reigning existence, and a humbling, balancing tool reminding us who, alone, is perfect, and that our righteousness can only come from Him. There is no place, nor time, nor need for self-condemnation when we actively live under His Sovereign reign, and only by actively living in Him can we effectively and powerfully overcome sin. All because of our Sacrificial Lamb, our Jesus’ conquering sacrifice on the beloved cross can we handle sin effectively and appropriately with Him! Praise Jesus, through Christ all things are possible!!

Abba, God, Holy Spirit, Hope, Living in Jesus, power in simplicity, strength, struggles, Victory
Despite our choice and daily exercises in developing a stronger mindset to be more aware of Jesus than anything else, our earthy, limited minds will still sometimes strive to see the process that will produce desirable results. Especially for things that have been a long time, even years, in the making. It has been a fortifying journey in obedience, and after all we have been through, where each step and move has sometimes been a struggle, we hear from the Lord more clearly now and as a result, we self-discipline ourselves to not try and figure it all out. Reminding ourselves that the Lord will reveal that which needs to be revealed when it needs to be revealed. But there are times, more powerfully physical than others, when we can almost taste the victory waiting just ahead of our current step and we think, “Yes! Finally it is happening!” But then things do not happen how we expected them to, nor are the immediate results what we anticipated them to be, and our minds struggle while our hearts yank our focus back to spiritually rest on Jesus. It is a painful but amazing experience reminding us who actively reigns in these living temples of our Abba’s. But regardless of what we physically experience, we refuse to give in to the apparent hopelessness of it all, and during the struggle we obediently pull ourselves back, simplify our lives by actively praising our Lord in that specific moment, which activates the call and desire to hear from our Shepherd above the noise of our soul wrenching desire to finally eat the bread of our diligent, obedient labors. What caused the shift, or change that had not been there before the journey had begun, which has led us into becoming the Overcomer our Abba designed us to become? Well, our hearts now actively live under His Divine authority, and with all of our free-will choices in first choosing Jesus it helped to nourish that change, and what we did not hear, nor see, was the whispering command issued directly from the Holy Spirit to our hearts and our hearts readily obeying Him. The long victory seeking journey establishing us as an Overcomer, which also sets so many things in our physical lives completely free, is intimately orchestrated by the Great I Am as He allows the very breath of Himself to healthily balance us and actively show us the value and simplicity of each moment in Him. A victorious moment which builds on the foundation rooted and grounded in Jesus, and strengthens our trust and keeps us totally dependent on our Creator, the Great I Am, so we may experience the greater results in His victory. And that requires us to be healthily balanced so we may be able to actively dwell and maintain that which He desires to gift us with. As an Overcomer, we actively live in Jesus, and actively experience the Riches of His glory, and yet, there is still an even greater depth of that clearly “at hand!” Praise Jesus!
