Shalom,
I want to look again today at "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers!
Intercessory
Introspection
And I pray
God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless — 1 Thessalonians 5:23
“Your whole
spirit…” The great mystical work of the Holy Spirit is in the dim regions of
our personality which we cannot get at. Read the 139th Psalm; the Psalmist
implies — “Thou art the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at
nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea; but, my God, my
soul has further horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the
nights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any
sea in nature — Thou Who art the God of all these, be my God. I cannot reach to
the heights or to the depths; there are motives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot
get at — my God, search me out.”
Do we
believe that God can garrison the imagination far beyond where we can go? “The
blood of Jesus Christ…cleanseth us from all sin” — if that means in
conscious experience only, may God have mercy on us. The man who has been made
obtuse by sin will say he is not conscious of sin. Cleansing from sin is to the
very heights and depths of our spirit if we will keep in the light as God is in
the light, and the very Spirit that fed the life of Jesus Christ will feed the life
of our spirits. It is only when we are garrisoned by God with the stupendous
sanctity of the Holy Spirit, that spirit, soul and body are preserved in
unspotted integrity, undeserving of censure in God’s sight, until Jesus comes.
We do not
allow our minds to dwell as they should on these great massive truths of God.
AMEN! The more time that we spend meditating on the Word of God, and all of the promises that HE has made to US, the more understnading we will have of just who we are as born again children of the Most High GOD! The understanding does NOT come any other way! Get into the Word of God and find out what HE has to say about YOU! YOU are of utmost importance to HIM! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":
Shalom in Him!
