Keep the Conversation Going

“Father, what you say seems so often out of my reach.” “ Son, that’s true. It is! What I desire for you is always out of your reach. But never out of the reach of  My faith within you. That’s why I had to send My Only Begotten Son and then My Spirit to bring real and abundant life within your faith reach. They open the door of your heart to this Divine conversation.”

“Come closer. Lay your ear on my chest. Can you hear and feel my heart beating? Every beat of my heart draws you more and more into living in union with Our identity. Hear Paul’s simple description of this Divine union. It  keeps the door open to the conversation between our hearts.”

“I have been crucified with Christ and ‘I’ no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I (now) live in the body, I live by (the) faith in (of) the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20) By way of your union in the death, burial, crucifiction and resurrection of My Son Jesus you are empowered to hear.”

 “Son, keep the conversation going. The essence of you faith has one source; hearing Me. My faith comes by your hearing. Your ongoing hearing comes and is sustained by My written Word co-mingling with our heart chats. This living, breathing, dynamic, ongoing conversation is communion with Christ in you! It is Abba’s (My) echo ringing true in your heart!

“You will become so sensitized to My voice that you couldn’t imagine life without My Spirit’s promptings. ‘My sheep hear My voice, another’s voice they simply will not follow/hear.’ These Spirit heart promptings are always there. Listening and responding obediently are the most loving form of your worship. True worshipers worship in Spirit and in truth. My Spirit floods every part of your being with His truth and grace. He is the only One who fully reveals what it means to live as I live. He reveals My heart, My nature and My love.”

“In the world you now inhabit, communion with Me is not defined by an experience of Me. Nor does it depend on blessings from Me. To really live is to release My Son’s life through yours. Release Him in any and all circumstances, no matter what you feel. Relate as He relates; giving when no one gives back, loving when no one returns love, forgiving when you wrongly judge others as undeserving of forgiveness, suffering in the place of those who should suffer.”

“God, I can’t do it! If I don’t feel your presence now, I want be able to live like Your Son. If I lose focus my life seems as though it is spinning out of control. I think I’ll explode and fly apart.”

“Son, stop looking at your inability. Listen and you will get fresh glimpses into My Son’s ability! My Son told you, when you’ve seen Me you have seen the Father.”

“In these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir over all things, and through whom He made the universe. The (MY) Son is the radiance of (MY) God’s Glory and the exact representation of My being, sustaining all things by His powerful words.” (Hebrews 1:2-3a)

Every time we hear Jesus, our identity and security are reset as in concrete. “When we reset our identity as beloved children of an awesome Father, we are no longer defined by our failures or brokenness. We no longer have to put on ill-fitting human systems, which will seem more like the old paint-by-number sets instead of learning the art of living in the world with freedom and grace. They also talk about how that transition reshapes community, both in creating safe places for people to struggle, and also not subverting community by our need for the wrong kind of attention. They also discuss the problems of insider language, or theological jargon, which actually restricts our ability to communicate, rather than enhance it.” Joni Menard

1:17 I desire that your knowledge of the Father will be undiluted, that you will draw directly from the source; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ imparts the spirit of wisdom to you in the unveiling of His Master Plan (glory.)

1:18 I pray that your thoughts will be flooded with light and revelation knowledge; that you will clearly picture His intent in identifying you in Him so that you may know how precious you are to Him. The saints are His treasure and the glorious trophy of His portion! (We are God's assets and the measure of His wealth!) (The Mirror)

That will keep the conversation going! Ron Ross
