We are looking for God to prepare us for what he is doing. We enter a process where he prepares us, where he purifies and refines us where he removes stumbling blocks from us. Angels have been commissioned to do this, to bring coals from the altar. because there is judgment coming to God’s household. And we need to be ready. We need to be ready for when the harvest of laborers comes in, to equip them in the supernatural realms of the kingdom of God. We need to be ready for the shaking of the systems of the world so that we can bring in the harvest.
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. God knew us before we were created here in eternity. Psalm 139:16 there was an unseen substance that was our spirit and according to what was written in eternity, all our days were ordained in the purposes of God. And that includes our destiny to rule. To bring heaven to earth. Adam and Eve are called to bring that rule to the earth and manifest God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, to rule in Gods place as a representative of him.
For this to take place there needs to be a dethronement of self an abdication. If we are going to fulfill the purposes of God our soul needs to be dealt with, me, myself and I. Because self gets in the way of God’s purposes to dictate its own purposes. Our soul has been programmed by nature, our DNA has been programmed from our past and the record of our parents and past generations through nurture, environmental programming, the things we have been brought up with and through trauma and experiential programming.
God wants to reprogram our soul so that we are flowing from our spirit. So that we are restored to our original eternal condition. And this is God’s desire for us. There are two things we need to do. – Build up our spirit, so that our spirit is strong active and operating in the fullness of what God’s intention for it was. We also need to receive a restoration and a refining of the soul. So that our spirit, soul, and body come back into alignment as was Adams in the garden where his spirit directed his soul and directed his body. So that the glory of God can be manifested on the earth and beyond through sons of light. And the whole of creation is groaning and waiting for those sons to be revealed. And God wants to reveal us as his sons. There is a process in which the glory of God in us needs to be released as we open the door, the Gateway of first love to allow him to have first place in our lives.
And he flows through the spirit Gates of our lives and through our soul and our body. Everything flows from the inside out. Often the world does things from the outside in. We try to change ourselves from the outside.
As we allow God to have reign in our lives, as he is King in our lives as we surrender control to him he will change us and transform us from the inside out and will manifest himself through us. Like he did with Jesus. Jesus manifested God’s glory and kingdom on earth as it was in heaven. He was connected to the heavenly realms and manifested that and therefore the works of Jesus demonstrate the power and the authority of the kingdom and God wants us to demonstrate that same power and authority on earth as it is in heaven.
We need to learn how to keep our spirit in constant communion and connection with God and have a flow of revelation from heaven.
We need to learn how to wait on the lord and be still. Do we trust the Lord. can we do nothing but wait in his presence.
Those who wait on the lord shall change and renew their strength. He becomes our source, and we draw from him all that we need in our lives, to fulfill our destiny. God wants us to know him, not in our heads but personal encounter. To know him is to encounter him intimately. We must stop trying to do it in our own strength.
With unveiled face we behold as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image. As we behold and look at Jesus and wait in that place where we are beholding him, we become like that which we behold. The kingdom is as close as the hand to the face and we can turn into it. we can behold what is in Gods kingdom and become like the image we are seeing. Or look at the problems and become more like them. It is a choice what we are going to look at.
A reflection of ourselves. This says when we look in the mirror we see the glory of the Lord, we need to think about that, because what God wants us to see when we look at ourselves is ourselves through his eyes. To see ourselves the way he created us to be. Full of his presence and glory. As we focus and look at him and then look at ourselves as we are supposed to be he changes us one bit at a time. So that we become more like him. So, when we actually look in a physical mirror, we start to see what we are like in the kingdom. Now whenever the enemy looks at us depending on what state we are in in our relationship with God he sees light. A description of what the enemy sees when he looks at those flowing in the power of the kingdom is then Revelation 1. With fire in our eyes and a flaming sword coming out of our mouth or they might just see a little flickering candle on the inside, but the more we focus on God, the more we wait in his presence, the more we learn how to behold him the more that light begins to shine on the inside of us. So, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 – the author and perfecter of faith. If we fix our eyes on him, he is the one who will begin to change us. It is our responsibility just a fix our eyes on him, and the hold him so that we can become like him now if we focus on the problems, the problems always look bigger, and Jesus always look smaller until all we can see is the problem in front of us and we can see the way out. But if we focus on the solution which is God the problem looks smaller until all we see is the solution and we change. Luke 1:37 says nothing will be impossible with God there is no situation, nothing that has happened to us in the past, nothing that we are going through right now that if we look to Jesus that he cannot change. That he cannot transform, nothing is impossible. Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. There is nothing we cannot overcome, there is nothing that can stop us from fulfilling our destiny if we allow him to strengthen us. It is him who does the strengthening. But we must look and become. And these beholding builds our spirit. We need to spend some time just waiting in the presence of God, just looking at him. We can read a Scripture about what he looks like. We learn how to wait in his presidency will strengthen us.
If the kingdom of God is so close to us as close as the hand is in front of our face so that we can turn into it we can behold what’s in God’s kingdom and become the image like Jesus through that for we can look at what is around us look at the problems and all the things and become more like them. This is the choice, what are we going to look at?
In order to build our spirit, the first thing we must do is to give God first place, give him first love. Praying and singing in tongues is a key. We keep our spirit in a constant communion with God. In a constant connection with God. And have Revelation from heaven. We must learn how to build our spirit. We must learn how to dethrone the soul. And we have to learn how to wait upon the lord and be still. Learning how to be still may seem very hard. It is hard for we don’t know what is going on. We need to learn how to be in a place where we just do nothing but be in his presence. As a result of waiting in his presence, he reveals himself to us.
Isaiah 40:31 those who wait upon the Lord shall change and renew their strength and power. He becomes our source. We draw from him all that we need in our lives to fulfill our destiny in him. Psalm 46:10 be still and know that I am God. He wants us to know, not in our heads but by personal encounter with his presence. This is what the word no means. To encounter him intimately. Cease striving and be still and know that I am God. We have to stop trying to do it in our own strength. And trust that if we surrender to him he will give us everything we need and empower us to do all that he is calling us to do. Two Corinthians 3:18 we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of God are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory justice from the Lord the spirit. As we both hold and look at Jesus and look at God and wait in that place where all we are doing is holding him we become like that which we behold.
The heart is an important thing. Matthew 13 – In the parable of the Sower it talks about the heart. When anyone hears the word and does not understand it evil one comes and snatches away what was in his heart. The word went into his heart even though he didn’t understand it. The word gets sewn into our heart. Now the path was trampled down. So often in our hearts because of the past there are areas which have been trampled down and trodden down and are hard. And the seed cannot take root in those areas of our heart. The rocky places has no firm root in itself but is only temporary when affliction or persecution arises because of the word sake immediately he falls away. Often because there are rocks and stones in our heart the word doesn’t take root. When things happen to us the word doesn’t work properly because it is not founded and formed. So, we need to deal with the things in our hearts. The thorns or the weeds, this is the man who hears the word, but the worry of the world and deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unfruitful. Therefore
We have to percent our soul as a sacrifice. We have to enter into the tabernacle in the heavenly places and become a living sacrifice.
We need to look at the soul because God has a lot of work to do in us. Collosians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ in the emphasis is on the eye. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. And the life which Christ and I now live in the flesh. Christ and I live by faith in the sauna God who loved me and gave himself up for me the whole relationship changes when I die to self when I’ve been crucified because God is enabled to join with me in manifesting himself to the world around us. Psalm 139:23 – search me thoroughly God and know my heart. People I prayed that prayer and God takes him up on what they pray, so if we are willing to pray that prayer, he will search our heart and he will enable us to know what’s going on in our heart as well. Try me and know my anxious thoughts. And see if there is any hurtful or wicked way in me and lead me in the everlasting way. This is part of the process of change which we must be willing to allow God to search our hearts and show us what is there. One Corinthians 10:28 talks about examining ourselves. We must be willing to look and see what is going on the inside. One Corinthians 11:13 tells us to judge ourselves. We have to be willing to actually look at our lives and hold it up in comparison to Jesus. Because that is what we judge ourselves against. Not anybody else in the world. We judge ourselves, we had the image of Jesus that God wants to transform us into. There are four sorts of soil. Hard, Rocky, weedy and good. We need to transform our hearts from all the other things so that our hearts are good soil so that the word of the kingdom of God can grow. So that it can produce fruit in us. But there is a process we have to go through in order to deal with the things that are in our heart. Acts 14:22 says strengthen the souls of the disciples encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom this is the process that we go through. Situations happen in our lives or tribulations are troubles or trials that God uses to highlight the things that are in our hearts. We are not talking about sickness or things like that because God doesn’t bring any sickness upon us. We are talking about situations and circumstances in life that happen. To highlight where our hearts are. James 1:2 considered all joy my brother and when you encounter various trials. We are to consider trials a joy. It is the attitude that we have towards the trial which will determine how they are outcomed. And if we consider that God uses trials to transform us then we will approach the trials and the different situations that we face in our lives differently. And we allow those trials to be stepping stones to change, transformation and growth. Or we can resist those trials and they won’t change us. So we have to allow and have joy, treat them with Thanksgiving and praise. So we can thank God for the trials he brings because we know the outcome of that is that the testing of our faith produces endurance. And when endurance has its perfect result we will be perfect and complete lacking in nothing. We want to be perfect and complete and lacking in nothing just like Jesus. For That to place there is a process of change and we have to be willing to look at the things that have happened in our lives so we learn from them overcome them and grow through them and change what is on the inside. Romans 5:3 we also exult in tribulations this is the opposite of what the flesh wants to do tribulation brings about perseverance and perseverance proven character and proven character hope and hope does not disappoint us because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. If we want to grow in the fruit of the spirit and become more like Jesus it is a process, gifts are given fruit grows. It is great to receive gifts but characters not received as a gift. Character comes is the fruit of dealing with the trials and things in our lives that shapes our character and causes us to act like Jesus. Through love. Because everything operates through love. Is the love of God and his men poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that enables us to deal with every situation in every trial every trouble that we face because the love of God is in us. That means we know that God is not disciplining us because he doesn’t love us he disciplines us because he cares for us and loves us and he wants us to be transformed and changed so we can display us on the earth as manifest sons of God. Shining with light displaying his character and the fruit that comes through a life transformed through the situations that we face. He can be more pleasant if we surrender to the process. Jesus said Fonda rock and we can be broken it means our soul can be broken and then restored or the rock and fallen us and we will be crushed. It is better to be broken then to be crushed. As we allow our brokenness the fragrance of God’s presence comes from us. Or we can release fragrance by crushing up stuff to release it. God wants us to be changed he will not relent until he has us. Now we can give him our heart and surrender to the process and be filled with joy and peace and love through the process or we can fight the process and try and resist it in our soul. All that means is it will go around the mountain another time until we have another opportunity to deal with the same issue. Because God does not let us go he gives us time and time again opportunities to change to be transformed into grow. We have been around the same mountain morn wants. Because we didn’t learn the first time. God wants us to look at the situations that we face and say I am not can go around us mountain I’m going to deal with this and I’m going to overcome it I’m going to climb this mountain and this mountain is can elevate me higher into the purposes of God in my life.
We can use the things that have happened to us, to learn from them and grow through them. First there is an event that takes place, something happens to us. And we have reactions to that event. it might be a situation where we felt insecure and we reacted defensively. There may have been a situation where we were confronted, and we reacted defensively. Some of us all know about confrontation. We react defensively, or angrily or aggressively or passively, then we don’t necessarily get what comes. Sometimes we are criticized by others and we respond to that criticism. Sometimes we feel rejected by people and we respond to that rejection. Sometimes we are faced with an unjust situation, that isn’t fair. And we feel that in our emotions. How do we deal with those unfair things that we face? It may be a situation where we felt fear, intimidation. Now all these things produce in us certain reactions, often they are automatic. Because they are our defense and coping mechanisms with the issues of life that we have built up over the years. We can act lovingly in all those situations. And if we act lovingly in all those situations those situations will determine differently. What generally happens when something like that happens is this – our mind starts replaying the event. If ever our mind is going over the event, it means that we have not dealt with the problem that we have had in the first place. And when our mind starts to replay the event, a little process goes on, our imagination can picture the process so that we can remember what someone said, our emotions are involved, we start to feel the same emotions. We start to use our mind to try and figure it out. We might try to use denial or projection or other things. But we go around that cycle, we repeated. Now what happens at that point, when we start repeating those things they go into our heart. Those are some of the stones that are in our heart, there are things that have happened to us that we have not dealt with that we have meditated upon, because that is what we do when we replay it in our mind we go over it and well I wish I said that. If only I could do this now, and why did they say that? And things go on in our brain we go through a processes when we face these types of issues. Now if that is taking place those things become weeds and seeds in our heart can become hard because of those things that have happened to us.
Each event if we can deal with it at the time can be something that we learn from. Now those become memories in our heart and motives for our behavior. Because we have placed them there and we have meditated upon them. Now familiar spirits who know us and know what is in our hearts will always come into agreement with those things. So we feel rejected, we get the little words in our head, no one likes you, no one wants to be around you you are not very nice. Now we tend to listen to those things because those are the thoughts and have gone through our mind lots and lots of times. Familiar spirits will affirm and agree with those ways of thinking. And they will put things into our mind, thoughts that we start to agree with we may even start to confess and speak out and therefore are whole life gets changed to operate according to the stones that are in our hearts or the weeds and the motives that are caused by things that have happened to us. and then they repeat patterns. It may be an event that was sin, we may have sinned. And then what comes into our mind? You are no good, God doesn’t love you. How can you call yourself a Christian? You are a failure! Go and do something to make yourself feel better. Cover it up, pretend, wear a mask. These are the things that start to go on in our mind and then those patterns get replayed and repeated because we go around the same map and face the same situation. And we develop behavior patterns according to the things that are in our hearts. But we can do something about it. The first thing to do when we find her self replaying a situation or actually the first thing to do before we even get to that point is to forgive an release that situation to God. Forgiveness and releasing people is one of the foundational principles of the word of God. Because if we don’t forgive Jesus says we cannot be forgiven. So we get caught up and live in the torture chamber of the experience that we have faced. And we carry that experience around us like a ball and chain dragging behind us all our life. Weighing us down and making us feel heavy. So when something happens to us regardless of whether we were right or whether we were wrong to issue is, did I feel something in my heart? If we did we need to forgive and release the situation. This might mean we need to forgive ourselves. If we have sinned, we need to receive the forgiveness of god by confessing that sin so that there is no guilt, no shame, no condemnation. We don’t put fig leaves on it covered up or try and hide in the bushes. We run to God and receive his love and his arms of well come and we receive his righteousness so that we can live in his presence. We forgive ourselves, it may be that someone hurt us or rejected Us; we have to choose to forgive them. It is not that they deserve it, if they heard us but we choose to forgive them but we don’t just forgive them in our head we release them from what they have done and release them into the hands of God. So that we can bless them. If we cannot truly blessed someone that is heard us then we have not forgiven them and release them properly. It is the sign that we carry actually nothing in our heart towards someone, because we can bless them. So forgive and release is absolutely a key principle for the blessing of God. But then we need to deal with what happened so we ask God, we seek God’s counsel to evaluate what went on. We evaluate our thinking, our emotions, our behavior, whether we were defensive or aggressive or passive we have to evaltate it. We ask God to show us, his will, his heart, his mind and give us Revelation about what went on. So we do this. In what can happen as a result of this? If we understand the court system of heaven we can go into the heavenly realm, into the courts and take our accusers there and we can find out what is accusing us and we can deal with it like receiving God’s judgment on ourselves in being declared not guilty. And this is what gives us power to change. But if we don’t know how to do that we can still seek God’s wisdom. But what if it wasn’t our fault? We were just a victim innocent of this situation. Occasionally this might be true, we have a little bit the play in most situations. But let’s say we haven’t, what do we do? We can pray and intercede for the person who attacked us or did something to us. And we can pray that God will bless them and that they will be transformed because we have released them to God because we have forgiven them sometimes we might have to confront the person if they carry on with the same behavior the Bible says if we have a problem with somebody to go to them and try and win them back by resolving the issue so that there is no breakdown in relationship. We do this in love. Confrontation is always done in love. Not revenge, if we are looking for revenge we have not forgiven or released. So our motive is really important here out of love because we want the other person to be blessed and to be transformed. Now if it is our issue then we need to own it we don’t deny it we don’t try and excuse it we don’t defend it we own it. The only way that we will changes by owning our own issues so that then we can deal with it. Because if we haven’t got a problem we won’t deal with it and it’s always somebody else’s problem we will never deal with ours. And projection is one of the easiest ways to get away with not dealing with our own issues. It is someone else’s fault. We always have to own our own part in any situation. It may be that yes there is a weakness, there is a sin there that we struggle with it may be a character issue. This is what God shows us is a result of this situation so what do we do? We repent, we were announced that we seek the word of God we asked for someone else to help us, to pray with us and we start building ourselves up in the truth that confronts that situation in our life. So that we can work out that situation we can own it and recognize actually yes there is a problem that I have that God can help me with. It may be that there is a weakness but God doesn’t want to change it in that area. You are not very Pastoral, yes that is true I will not defend that. Therefore I’m not can a focus and building up my gift in that area, that is somebody else’s gift. I am not going to try and be strong in an area where God has not called me to be strong. We all need each other, there are people in the church they are very pastoral, they have very good hearts in that area. So someone accuses us of that we don’t accept the accusation. Because it is not a gift. But if they say you’re not very friendly and approachable, this is a totally different thing. Because this is an issue that is wrong that we need to address, why are we not friendly and approachable? Why are we defensive? Why do people find it easy to talk to us? We have to be willing to be honest about what is going on in our life. Because if for not supposed to be strong in that area then we need to encourage the people who are. So we encourage their gifts we support them and encourage them and we learn from them as well. We can always get better but we are not going to try to do something that we are not called to do or to be. But if were supposed to be good in those areas what we do then? We find someone who is good and asked them to disciple us. We asked them to teach us how to be better in that area. So they will help us to grow that we can learn to become strong. There are different things here that might result from addressing the issue that we face. If it is our issue and we have a weakness for an area of sin or character flaw we have to identify where it has come from. Has it come from an unmet need? Have we got a need in us that has not been met, therefore we are looking for that to be met somebody else or through something else so we sin or we do something, therefore we need to deal with that unmet need. So if we need acceptance, and we don’t feel acceptance where do we get that acceptance from? We get it from God. If we try to get that acceptance from other people we are always good to be open to be hurt damaged because there will always be rejection in the world. Is there an unhealed hurt me? Are we carry unresolved things where we have not been healed? From the past – then we can ask God to heal us and restore us when we own it. And when we recognize it. Nowhere do those things come from? Have come from our nature, our DNA our family may operate in that sort of way there may be generational things that are in family lines. They are all worriers in our family. We all suffer from fear. We have heard people say these type things. We do not need to be controlled by our generational past, we are a new creation. God wants us to be shaped by our future and our destiny and are spirit, not the defects in our soul. It could be a curse that has been spoken over us. There are nurture and upbringing things. The way we have been brought up, we may have been told that we are useless all of our life. And we have believed it. Therefore we act out of that behavior. So all this process allows us to see the trials and the troubles in the situations that happen in our life and allow us to deal with them by bringing them to God and letting God show us what is going on what soil did this come from? Where did this outworked? We can do this on any event or anything that happens to us. We can also do it by looking into our own heart at our own behavior mindset, mechanisms of coping with life, emotions. We ask ourselves why did I feel like that? We walked into a room and we felt alone. Even though it is ffull of people. We ask ourselves why? We think a certain way, no one likes me, we ask ourselves why? We can look at our Behavior, and certain situations and ask ourselves why. And when we ask ourselves why, we can then take that through the same process. We go to God and ask him for Revelation so that we can deal with our behaviors so that we can be honest about how we are living in the current present situations. So we can change but we have to be real if we covered up and say well that is just me then will just carry on being the same . If we want to change we have to deal with the things that are in our hearts. We can go to the courts on this stuff or we may look at our behavior think well it’s godly righteous so it’s okay. Therefore we can display that to the world we can speak to truth in love, we can demonstrate that attitude. If it is ungodly we own it and deal with it. We want to think with the mind of Christ we want to act and behave with the fruit of the spirit with love joy and peace. If we don’t get it right all the time we ask why? Are we willing to ask God to search our hearts? And to show us if there is anything in our heart that is directing us towards this sort of stuff. And may be a problem of the knowledge we just don’t know. Quite often we are ignorant when we become baby Christians. We don’t understand everything of God and ourselves. So we need to seek Revelation to ask God. We may need to ask God for gifts and a help us to grow and outwork. It may be because of unmet needs, and unresolved hurts. Unresolved issues in our lives. We deal with these things by going through a process.
The first thing is to forgive and release. Whatever it is forgive and release it, don’t hold onto it. If we hold onto anything will end up into the torture chamber. The enemy will torture us and will feel much much worse. And we will repeat the same patterns of behavior. We need to forgive and release every situation we come across whether it is in our past or anywhere else.
The next thing we have to do is to own it, we cannot change unless we own it. This doesn’t mean that that is what our identity is we are just saying this is what the issue is and I’m going to change. We have to deal with where it came from therefore confess it. If it is sin we confess it passed sin. We don’t dress it up as our little problem. Or our little weakness. We call it what it is, we repent of it and we renounce it. God will change us. If we try and pretend it will not work. We have to renounce it. I’m not can act like this anymore, I am not can operate through this way of thinking anymore. I renounce that I’m going to operate according to the word of God. Repent means to turn away from it, we don’t keep looking at it. We don’t keep looking at the problem we turn and look at the solution. Jesus – that will enable change. We need to meditate on the truth. We have to take on the truth we may have lived a whole lot of lies because of our past, we need to know the truth.
We need to get rid of the stones and the weeds. If there are familiar spirits then we need to hammer them. Every time we get a whisper in our head from something which is not God we have to absolutely hammer it with the truth. We need to beard up and take it into heaven and destroy it. We do not want to be listening to the enemy whispering in her ear and agreeing with him and living out of that. We have to hammer that we have to get rid of that and it is possible to take some effort but we can destroy those things we might need deliverance but we can destroy those things in our lives.
We need to start speaking according to our future and not our past. We positively confess the truth of God’s word we confess who we are, our identity. Who we are as a child of God. This is what God’s desire is. We may need deliverance, we may need healing, we may need restoration. When somebody prays for us we need to ask for that. We do not want to fight this stuff on our own. If we are struggling with something in looking to overcome a particular issue we need to be accountable to someone else in it. We have to own it, we have to admit it, we have to talk about some of the real issues that are in our life but we find someone who loves us who is willing to support us and we are accountable to them in the process. So that we can change. God wants to restore all of us his desire is that we would be like Jesus. Reflecting the image of Jesus demonstrate in the kingdom of God on earth but we have to be willing to surrender to the process and deal with our own hearts. We can use diagrams as a pattern, next time we get a confrontation or we feel something or a projection what are we can it do? We will do the same thing we had have done before or we are going to change it address it. We consider it a trial of joy, because joy will bring the strength of God into our life. If we treat a situation and oppose what God is doing we will be fighting against God and this is not a good idea. We have to surrender to the process and embrace what God is doing and then we change and grow through it. Yes it means to examine ourselves we don’t want to flow through life without knowing what is going on the inside of us we need to be understanding of this when a problem arises, when a situation happens we deal with it. If we know we have a problem in a certain area of thinking or emotions or behavior we deal with it, we are not just content to carry on as we are we have to be willing to change. We have to practice these things they don’t just happen automatically by doing them wants. We have to practice Hebrews 5:14. Because of practice we train our senses to discern good and evil. To know the spirit and the soul. The thoughts and intentions of our heart. We need to practice we need to learn how to step in and out of the presence of God.
We are going to step in and step out of his presence. We step into the presence of God, into the heavenly realms, and then we step back out again. Because it is right there in front of us. Right now we can step into the presence of God by simply taking a step of faith into his presence.
Father I thank you that you have made a way for me to come into your presence by faith I step into the realm of your presence into the holy place in the heavenly tabernacle understand before the altar of incense and present myself as a living sacrifice to you, Jesus my high priest. Today Jesus I willfully with desire consecrate the flow of my heart, I ask you to crucify and kill my flesh. I choose to deny myself with all my rights and I give you my life to gain your life. I am dead to sin and I am alive to righteousness. I ask you to rule my head as I surrender to your Lordship I choose not my will but your will in my life I give up my right to free will and I choose to seek first your kingdom and righteousness I ask you to skin me to remove every covering that I’ve placed around my life. Remove everything that I used to make myself acceptable to you And others. A renounce all dead works, remove all my masks, pretense, defense and coping mechanisms. I ask you to split me open down to my bones and marrow I ask you to cleanse my heart and its motives to purify my thoughts and my intentions. To restore my heart and give me your desires. To renew my mind and heal my emotions and to strengthen my will. I ask you to remove my legs, I surrender my walk to you I choose only to do what I see the father doing. I choose to walk by faith and not by sight I step out of heaven back into this realm I choose to let you do your work through me as I become a channel for your kingdom to manifest in this world around me. We can do this every day. When we start out it may take us a half an hour to do this. Now we can can do this in just five minutes. But we have to know the truth and to present ourselves because in presenting ourselves God will transform and change us. This will help us when we go through the process of examining ourselves we can see through the flow of God’s revelation. When we do this we might see the altar of incense, we might feel that we are there if we are active in our imagination we might see it if were used to having encounters or else we just do it by faith. God always response to faith always. He loves faith. So we can step in by faith and step out. We step into the presence of God and receive the righteousness of God, we can do it 100 times a day. We can step in and be righteous. It is better and being unrighteous we step into the presence of God in the close us with his righteousness. He gives us robes of righteousness just because we come into his presence and were his children.
