Levels
I believe, as we have seen with many in history and even today, there are different levels you go with God as much as you allow. I say “as much as you allow” because God allows it as much as you entertain it. God called Moses up the mountain, and His Presence was entertained for 40 days and nights, and the evidence was evident on the face of Moses and everything he obtained (Ex 34:27-35). Will you go up when God calls? No fighting and no pulling of teeth but of a willing spirit.
I am starting to see and feel new levels without, it feels, even trying. I want to stay in the Presence of my Father. What does this entail? This entails praying every day, making sacrifices to have that prayer time with Jesus, communing with the Lord over the Word of God, moving and walking in obedience, meditating on His promises, and more. Anything that involves the Lord, think on these things.
The different levels God allows you to come into because of your willingness involves deeper realms of Him and His heart. I also started noticing the more I started praying, the more misunderstood and disliked I seemed to become for literally no reason (Jhn 15:18-25). It wasn’t a spirit of rejection or straight paranoia, but I started to see what wasn’t being presented. I used to be able to see this before, but now it’s much more clearer and through the lens of God’s love. I do not want to set myself up for offense and the possible stirring of bitterness. No thanks. I have enough on my plate than to deal with offense and unforgiveness. That in itself is opening up more trouble than bargained for.
There are so many different levels, faces, and realms of God, but I love and enjoy the journey. However He wants to do it, I’m here for it. Enjoy and appreciate the journey and the growth. God makes it possible for you each and every day with what He gives and has already placed inside of you.
***Let’s Pray!!! Father, we thank you for taking us to new levels in you, for you, and for your glory. We will continue to honor you in this season and the seasons to come. We repent for not being as consistent and disciplined as we should when it comes to spending time with you. You are the most important in our lives. Let this statement be made true not just for us but for those who unknowingly are watching us. Father, you have set us here on this earth to do and perform your will for your people. You have set each and every one of us here for a set number of people. Let us not fail the assignment. We want to be good stewards of your Word and movements. You are our heart’s desire. Let this be made true. Anything else that does not line up with you in us or our lives, Father we ask that you take it away and clean us anew. What good is to have the whole world and lose our soul? We want you. We desire you. We love you. In Jesus’ Name we pray—Amen.***
This was really good, a big part to me was when you mentioned sacrificing and being obedient. Thank you for this powerful reminder
