His love, your oil
Romans 16:27–29 “Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.”
Beloved,
Value that which heaven holds sacred. We are made manifest in His glory as children of the most high God. Those who have been reconciled to the Father, now walk with His son Jesus carrying the Gospel of Peace, that beautiful truth which neither argues or takes sides, but displays the presence of His Holy Spirit. We groan with expectation in tandem with the Spirit, knowing that through intercession, ground will be gained. We are more than conquerors, victory is at hand and the devil will be trampled under our feet. It is the way of God, to exalt those that have been sustained in their prayers, not stopping short of the prize, but holding to the destination, that of the answer to prayer.
It is the power of love, which brings us into the heart of Jesus. Our breath becomes His, and our bodies belong to Him as we avail ourselves each morning saying, “Here I am Lord, use me.” He gives strength in the midst of this statement, for we have emptied ourselves of personal desire, and grab hold of that which heaven declares to be the treasure. The lost are all around us, and deserve an encounter with God. We are the vessel which holds His Spirit, our hearts being the very throne of God releasing light into the darkness, breaking off the attack of evil, and securing freedom for those in bondage. There is a realization coming upon the people as the sun rises this morning. They are captive of things that are not of God, and only love breaks the chains.
The breath within us is the oil in our lamp. It wets the wick and is consumed by Holy Fire. The passion let go in that moment goes beyond understanding, and excels the limits of our earthly strength breaking free of fleshly ideas and covets that which is spiritual and supernatural. Though our bodies are covered with such flesh, it is the internal working of the Holy Spirit within us, touching upon the resurrection power that now lies within us, making us more than mere flesh, but children of God. See with God’s eyes today, hope in the everlasting and not the temporal. We are groaning with expectation, to see the move of God upon a land, too long gone dormant.
See the seed bursts within the soil, and new growth is seen upon the surface. Rain comes in season and waters that which is dry. Height and girth come with nutrients in the soil surrounding its roots, and yes the fruit of its toil arrives quietly and secretly. Workers in the field have been called from two-thousand years of harvest, and they come with sickle in hand and baskets to carry the bounty into the city. Stadiums are filled with those seeking the Lord, and your words express His presence and release healing upon legions of sick and ill. Addictions fall away and eyes are opened to the heaven that is just above our heads. Joy comes, and laughter fills a heart where once only sorry reigned. Death no longer sways power over human kind, “the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, now is made manifest . . . “
