Jeff Reynolds One desire: Endure or Embrace Life? Find Your Voice in His Presence

Life is filled with all kinds of choices, roads, pathways.

"Following Jesus" is equally filled with many interpretations of the truth of it's expression. What it looks like?

This is part of what makes following Jesus so dynamic, so amazing.
There are so many ways to express devotion and love for him.
His love embraces an entire world filled with diverse cultures and meaning.
There is a never ending open door for expressing love for God.

Love HIM.

Let it Go.

Let it Happen.

The way you want to.

From deep inside let out the Voice of Love for Jesus

In the Body of Christ around the world there are so many voices of love and devotion.
So much worship, prayer, teaching, encouragement, to grab hold of.

When it comes to worship and following Jesus I've always been one to go for the highest highway of love and devotion I can see.

Granted.
What I think "following Jesus with total abandon" may not touch you deeply or call out the your highest love.

Find your song. Find your love.
Find your voice in his presence.
That is what is so amazing about Jesus.

You are perfectly known.
You are perfectly loved.
You are appreciated. All the unique grace he's poured into you has a song for him alone.
Sing it out.

Let it out.
Worship without fear.
Worship without feeling foolish.
Forget the world around you and focus the eyes of your heart on the LOVE that shakes the powers of darkness.
Express the love you hold inside you to the world outside of you.

David's awe of God...
Showed up in songs.
Showed up in crazy dance.
Showed up in a government of love for God.

The Body of Christ needs to express the highest worship, love, devotion to the Lord Jesus.

If the house of Jesus is not a place
where the people can worship loud,
clear and with a love
that cannot be quenched,
where else can we do it?

We are free to worship.
We are here to help each other accomplish the task:

We can spur each other on toward love, wild love filled worship.
We can call each other up to higher love and devotion to Jesus. We can come alongside each other and help each one get their Voice in his presence.

We can share our stories of what held us back from First LOVE.
We can remember what spurred us on.

So, were we made to just ENDURE?

Rise in the fire - he is a consuming fire

Endure life?    Or Embrace life and victory in Jesus?

I am 100% convinced.
We were made to overcome in victory with Jesus.

Right now.
God's presence is alive.
There are wild angelic creatures in it.
Jesus is presiding as High Priest of the heavenly temple.
There are 24 elders before the throne.
There are a cloud of witnesses who know it's true.
Heaven is alive with activity.
The Father's will is being carried out in the power of the Spirit all over the earth.
Right now.

Endure?
If we are enduring God's presence we have lost our voice, our vision, our eye sight.
If we are enduring the places where God is invited and dwelling we have lost our Love.
Grown cold.
Heart sick.
Laodicean?


Shine, sow fiery love where you live everyday

Patient endurance is part of the apostolic walk of Jesus.
Yes.
Hope is the heartbeat and power of the overcoming life.
A key to overcoming victory is to embrace the life before us and walk in it with the power and truth of Jesus Christ.
To believe. Believe HOPE. Believe LOVE.

There is so much creativity, knowledge, wisdom, power and grace in the Trinity God.
His presence is alive with wonder, awe, mystery, the present, past and future.

Survive this life?   Or Overcome and get a hold of life in Jesus?

There no doubt that survival is a skill.
Those skills are well played when the bottom drops out of life.

Most of us come to dislike living for survival.
This makes perfect sense.
The rewards are meager.
Scraps and left overs.
Jesus promised us so much more.
Jesus - "You will have trouble in this world."
So is our goal to simply get out of trouble, out of trial, out of our current circumstances?
This is not a dynamic view of the victory won for us in a new resurrected life in Christ.
We can never eliminate trouble from our lives altogether.

There has never been a person on the earth who did not face trouble, challenge, difficulty and their own limitation.

The new life in Christ is just that A NEW LIFE.
Jesus didn't die on the Cross to simply bring an overhaul of this present life.
Rather, a new and different way of thinking -   mindset change. Shift. Whole new set of eyes on the world.

His eyes.
Established in the victory he won for us on the Cross.
The new life that exploded to reality in his resurrection.
The connecting of heaven and earth forever in his ascension.

So many believers get stuck wanting to survive in this life when they could thrive in the abundant life. Jesus is the forerunner of this new life.

Walk like he did!

God is love - all his ways are good.

Pruning is a good thing.
Bringing everything back to the Vine
To the flow of the Spirit
To the support of the Vine

We serve a good, good Father of lights.

2016

Look forward, eyes filled with Abundance, Boundless, Victorious vision in Jesus.
