A Cosmos
Genesis 1:26,27 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Beloved,
Hope for the future was ignited in the past. For it was in creation that the Lord spoke all things into being, and released Himself into the void, establishing the firmament on which we stand today. The fire of His holiness consumed the vastness of the void, bringing with it the cosmos and life. Not one thing was created, but that it was His breath designing each part, every fiber, and sound. It is to Him that we sing, when we raise praise to the heavens and glorify His name. Know the intimacy of His presence in these days, do nothing without His love before you and leave death behind you. Do not dredge up those things, that were hidden from you, in the confession of your life, when your heart opened to the advance of God.
It is forever and ever, that we live. Though this mortal life is but a vapor, and time has no bearing on our King, eternal workings are building in our spirit and soul, tantamount to the depth of His Heart and Spirit. Drive your attention to the Cross where it was sealed in the blood of the innocent Lamb. Angels turned away in that moment, when His breath became labored, and gasps were stretching out in minutes, grasping for the last exhale of His Father, so that He might finish the work set before Him. There was a moment, when He spoke to the Cosmos much like He did in ancient times, saying, “It is finished!” and the life left His body and the earth shook with grief.
He calls you beloved, to reach out into this same space, the depths of His territory, His reign — which is all things. Truly, stretch out your hand and allow the healing to take place, where once was sickness is only good health; where once was broken bones, now are whole; where breath once was labored, now is filled with vitality. You carry the Kingdom within your chest, and the Cosmos has taken up residence there. For all come to the Father, humbly to pray and commune, bringing their praise and their needs. It is a show of humility, this understanding that a Kingdom of Power lives and has its being within you, and then to express the Love of the Cross, and the Resurrection in the Tomb.
It is certainly a measure of Truth, this faith given to you in portions when needed, but always there, always available. The world sometimes takes its place among the reeds where the river flows deeply, and tries to build an altar to itself, a self-righteous entity that has no place in holiness. We are broken by the flesh, but restored by the blood of the Lamb. Sin is destroyed, and life is released into our lungs, bringing testimony after testimony of God’s love released to earth through His Son Jesus and empowered by the Throne of God. It is an axis of power, a staunch provider of provision, and all done in the midst of a Love Storm, that covers all things and leaves nothing to waste, raining on the righteous and unrighteous. It is true, God wastes nothing. Not one moment of your life was wasted, for He took the bad and the good, transforming you into an image of His Son. Not just a reflection, but inside and out, a righteous man or woman that carries Holy Fire to distant places. You are beloved.
