1:00 What if you knew what you were put on this planet for?
John 6
"Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king. He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone." John 6:15
That's not what Jesus was here to do yet, so he goes to the mountain. The disciples get into a storm, and see Jesus walking on the water.
It's not enough to just come to the meetings. The most important thing we can do in our lives is to come to know God.
When God shifts you from a limited earthly view point to the eternal view point, you have to go fluid, like the wind, move into that dimension. Childlike wonder. Surrender to what God has already done.
What offends you in the bible, or what God has done with you? It will reveal where God wants to meet you? There's a control issue being challenged and a fear issue being revealed. Emotions are the sweat glands of the soul. You have to process them or they will become BO.
You need to practice Jesus.
Offence leads to disengagement if there is not reconciliation.
Doorways: Offence, Intrigue, Interest, Need.
Prayer:
Father. This is a company of endurers. And we are endurers. And I don't know why you want to help us so much, to realise that is in your living word, experience in the spirit, that life transformation takes place, and the circumstances we go through are actually the back-drop to discover you, and if we find you in the circumstance, the circumstance becomes something we can be grateful for, because it really doesn't matter what we went through as long as we find you. And yet we go through, we collect shame, and reproach, confusion, we have our accuser come in and tell us it's all because You're mad at us, or it's our friends…… and we get disconnected. Would you, Father, in Jesus' name, draw me and draw all of Jubilee, again, to you, Jesus. I'm asking you a fresh awakening by the Holy Spirit to draw us to the one who has the words of eternal life, who is the Christ, the high priest of our confession. I'm asking you to draw me to you. I don't know exactly what you're up to, but I want to be with you. I don't want to draw away from you, I want to draw closer to you, so that I can be with you where you are go through this as you provide for me your resource of self. Even if that frightens me, and it is frightening. Even if it offends me, and it does offend me. I want to be drawn. Draw me closer to you. Never let me go. I lay it all down again, just to hear you say that I'm your friend. In Jesus' name, Amen.
