Sons of God - Abiding ministers of HOPE
by JAT | October 9, 2012
Jesus lived and demonstrated a life of ongoing worship which was pure love, moving in faith in response to the Father’s voice and direction. This kept Him continually open to receive and release all that the Holy Spirit conveyed to Him. He also attracted hosts of mighty angels to help him carry out the release of heaven on earth. Abiding worship enabled him to joyfully fulfill the outrageous ministry he was made for and made a way for us to follow in His footsteps.
Because He lived from heaven to earth, he did all ministry from a place of rest. This enabled Him to abide in the Father - high above the pressing needs and chaos that surrounded him. It also inoculated Him against the perversion of the political spirit, the legalistic spirit and the fear of man. All these things could have distracted Him from His course of obedience. Likewise we are subject to the same temptations if we have not learned the strategic secret of abiding adoration.
Jesus is called The Hope of Glory. His knowledge of himself (His true identity which came from His relationship with the Father through the person of the Holy Spirit) gave Him power to do everything He was called to do without turning back even when the enemy came against him in the wilderness and the weight of His mission threatened to crush him in Gethsemane. He was strengthened by angels to complete the Father’s plan. He was the embodiment of the Father and every word He spoke released abundant seeds of hope that settled, rooted and grew in the hearts of men so they too could release the manifestation of heaven on earth. Every step he took released a flow of hope that soaked the parched earth and gave creation itself the hope of restoration and redemption.
This is who we are as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Following the lead of our King, we learn to abide in the secret place of the most High God in adoring, abandoned worship. In this place, our true home, we learn to function in Him and from Him - and all He did, we do also as living manifestations of HOPE.
Romans 8:19-21 Amplified Bible
For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part but the will of Him Who so subjected it - [yet] with the hope that nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance} into the glorious freedom of God's children.
I release the glorious freedom of Christ to you and unlock the limitless possibilities and manifestations of His life and glory in you with this heavenly key of HOPE!
