“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
Only God satisfies.
He has created us with a hunger.
We are in His image and just as He has a hunger for us and keeps persistently seeking us out so we have a hunger which will not be satisfied until we realise and acknowledge that it is for God.
We may have defined what makes us feel good and satisfied but unless it is aligned with the Holy Spirits definition we will fail to be satisfied and will make other things our idols.
God is in a time of boxing us in and confining us to deal with this. To identify, knockout and dismantle what is insignificant, flawed and not worth our pursuit.
“See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.””
If it is not worth our craving, undervalues our worth, is too transient. We are wise to submit and not wrestle to hold on to it be it our comforter, desire to acquire or process it will only bring temporary fix and then desire for more with no real fulfilment.
Only God Satisfies.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,”
We need the mind of Christ. A Doxa church.
We need to recognise the warning signals of our hunger. To get in tune with them and to, as a result, have some wisdom in how we reach out to fulfil the need.
There is a degree by degree way that Christ grows within us linked to each bit of revelation that we consume and build upon.
This is how we are revived from the dead to the life and step from glory to glory, from faith to faith.
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
If we honestly look at ourselves or our church would we be in our right mind to ask God to revive us as we currently are or would we seek to be transformed more?
We are created for eternity. God will make us uncomfortable, hungry, seeking more.
God will not allow us or the church to advance more until we restructure to a Doxa mind of Christ’s glory.
We move from glory to glory. We and the church are not falling apart we are falling together. We are being taken where the wind of the Holy Spirit wants to position us.
We move from glory to glory when we perceive that: Only God Satisfies and we have stewarded this nugget seed and sown it into the lives of others.
God will not leave us in distraction and disillusionment.
He invites us always to come. There is always more. Revelation is progressive, degree by degree. Things are withheld for a reason, blessed for a reason.
Ours is always to bless God. His is to bless us.
The eye of God is to be free to move as He will. The eye of man is to have 5, 10, 20 year plans be in control. How much will we struggle against or go with?
The illustration shows the face of the Lord in Glory and as we are transformed to that image we go from glory to glory emanating light to push back the darkness.
