In light of this, in order to have genuine intimacy with God:
We do nothing! Nothing at all!
He who is Holy, Holy, Holy desires beyond anything a relationship with us. We are laid bare before Him, and His grace has covered us! Grace that is sufficient for us.
I am worthy of death, YET, God has accredited me with righteousness, through Christ Jesus. And I am dead to the things of this world, because I am dwelling in Christ, and He is dwelling in me! We who have 'prostituted our selves to the world' Christ jesus has bought back for a price.
For us, Christ Jesus was sentenced to death, by His CHOICE and WILL He did this! He was the price spoken in Hosea. Our sins were not unpunished, it's just that they were punished upon someone else!
We stand before God entirely unworthy, YET, HE IS HOLY.
"Who is like you among the gods, O LORD-glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?"
Exodus 15:11
(NLT)
So as of last night, I greatly desired to do something that would reflect these things that I have learnt, and I couldn't figgure out how this would actually work on earth because my mind was blown. YET the awesome thing is, we do not have to do anything at all. I am very sure that if I'm abiding in Christ, and He is abiding in me then soemthing of me will reflect this whether I can see it or not!
It's kinda like God has set me on fire, but I honeslty have no idea what to do with it!
"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit"
Galatians 5:25
So I will walk in the Spirit!
When I tried to expalin this to people, the advise I was given was this:
Mary after recieving revelation and she was the moher of Christ! Like angels came to her!!
It is said: "But Mary treasured these things and pondered them in her heart" Luke 2:19
Thus I will do this!
I do not know what action God will have me part of in the future, but for now I will treasure and ponder! I don't know my gifting or calling or whatever, BUT I do know beyond any doubts where i stand wiht Christ!
And the CRAZY, AWESOME thing is, this has only been a glimpse!
Pace and grace to you in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Revelation (PART 5)
Thursday night/the next morning these things blew my mind!! Like really!!
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power throguh His Spirit in the inner man,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith,
and that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend together wiht all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ, whih surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, accorting to the power that works wihtin us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.
Amen"
Ephesians 3:14-21
Wow. So we abide in Christ and dwell in Him, but He also dwells in us.
WOW!
"...and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have to Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, you the Spirit is alive because of righeousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies throguh His Spirit who dwells in you."
Romans 8:9-11
"It's no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me"
Galatians.
This shows that the God of the entire universe dwells in us, like is actually in us!!! The Holy Spirit is in us!! Like but actually!! This is so huge!
