We Trust and Rest in Our Oneness
Manage episode 456922639 series 2825460
Summary:
The Spirit of God is moving in our midst. The oneness He is creating in us causes us to function in a deeper level of spirit than before. It's a realm of His Spirit that we can lean on and trust. As long as we stay connected, we have a freedom to flow together and rest. Out of that rest comes a ministry in the Spirit of peace.
SHOW NOTES:
The Lord is working out His life in each one of his believers, and in that process He is connecting us into the Body of Christ.
Because of the “born again” experience, we begin to function and flow together in the spirit.
The relationships in the Spirit go deeper than the human level, so we begin to have more of a freedom of expression.
The Lord is the life line we can minister to each other, so we do not live in fear and worry, but we experience a family atmosphere where we can strengthen one another.
Each one of us has a unique gift given by God, but also a likeness that only he can put together to form His special creation called the Body of Christ.
Out of this oneness comes a rest where believers can cease the striving and the separateness that is empty and futile.
We open up to trust what God is doing in this new level of oneness.
QUOTATIONS:
How wonderful it is to flow in the Spirit and have the reality of God in our midst and know that we're all just living in a realm of spirit where the evil one, the wicked one, cannot touch us.
There's a rest that we have in Him, and when you have that rest, meaning you know He's there, it's something that carries you through the day.
Out of that rest comes moving in the Spirit.
The oneness that we've moved into is the greatest gift God has given us to function and go forward in the things of God.
God's calling us into a level of oneness and it is a marvelous, wonderful place, because when we rest in the Lord, that means we're trusting what God is doing in everything.
Our combined functioning as a unit, as one, we are truly the most effective that we can be before the Lord.
REFERENCES:
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
“ I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
Therefore, let us fear if while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.
For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it.
TAKE AWAY:
We don't want to come short of the rest that the Lord has promised us. We cry out to Him to make us one in the Spirit, so we can flow together in a deeper level. We take the initiative in our own hearts to seek Him to write this oneness on our hearts. If we ask Him, He will do it. We pray, Lord, we trust You; you will do it.
