You are the Real Prized Possession in God's Heart - God is Our Friend

 In all the mystery and wonder of the Kingdom that God is building, one thing stands out supreme and true:  God the Father is longing and looking to connect deeply and set us into his presence and love permanently.

 Jesus was victorious.  He perfectly completed the Father's desires fulfilling them with power and love and sacrifice.  The desire of the Father's heart is US.  YOU.  ME.  Humanity.  People.  

A Kingdom, a Bride for the Son, that as Iain Bradbeer says, "the Father's gift to say to the Son that he did well and his work was perfectly pleasing and good."  (EPIC Center Bend OR speaker)

God has no need of anything that is physical in the universe. But his heart is completely focused on bringing us into his Kingdom.  He wants to present a Bride to Jesus.  Jesus walked out his Father's desire and now the Spirit moves every day in that perfect work to bring people into the dwelling places of the Father.   

God is our friend.  
He truly is.  
In the work of Jesus every doorway in heaven stands open.  
In the power of his righteousness all will be made new.  
You and I are invited in....but it is so much more that that.

We are swept up in his grace and mercy when we say yes.  He has provided in Jesus for everything needed to perfectly abide in his presence and love.   Nothing is lacking. 
As we activate the Blood of Christ in faith our sins melt away into righteousness and peace and joy. As we arouse the works of Christ on our behalf with faith, trust and hope, all the energies of heaven's new and coming Kingdom begin moving in and through us.  

Power coalesces with his presence and the result are waves of abiding peace.  


You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 

Believers can miss this critical point of activation.   The Kingdom of God is perfect in provision.  Everything Jesus welcomed into our fallen world came with the fullness of his presence, power and peace.   Every true teaching of Christ explodes into life giving action just like the resurrected Lord as we dwell in the presence and abide in His perfect peace.  Faith moves us from the barren places and dry bones and hope sustains us in grace that will always be sufficient for everything he calls forth. 



The secret place is the doorway to the unbounded wide open country of the Father's Heart and LOVE. 

It is a wonder to me that the Father says,


"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you".  Mat 6:6

Typically for us, when we go into some kind of secret place we do things we don't want anyone to know.  But for the Father the secret place holds the deep wells of change for a thirsty and hungry world.  His presence is a palace of freedom and righteousness that never ends. He is LOVE.  And there is no law in all the universe against the love that flows from the Father of heart.

The Father loves to call us into the secret places.  Deep into his heart.   It is from these places that we learn to abide and overcome the world.  When we are victorious from these places of the deep we receive things like....



"To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it."  Rev 2:17
The Father Loves to dwell in and reveal mysteries
He leads us on a treasure hunt both to find our own lives which are hidden in Christ and to see Christ is us revealed as the Father's mystery.   The deep things keep crying out for deeper things!  (Col 1:27; 2:3)
He Counts Hair


In all the mystery and wonder of the Kingdom God is building one thing stands out supreme and true:  God the Father is longing and looking to connect deeply and set us into his presence and love permanently.   

The Amazing things is he has perfectly completed this in Christ our Lord.   
He opened a "new and living way" (Hebrews 10:19-20) that allows us total access to the Father's house.   Jesus ushered in a Kingdom that is ever expanding and from which we draw upon the riches of his grace and love forever. 


Isaiah says, 


"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near." Isa 55:6 

The Father is near and calling.  What does your heart say?  
Run with the grace you have!   Give yourself to the lover of our souls.

Now is the time.  Today is the DAY to surrender to the deepest cries in your heart and go to him.
