“For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.”
God is beyond our imagination in size and power. Yet there is within Him a simplicity of existence within His heart that we are designed for.
“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
If Eden is the garden of God’s heart we access walking in safety with Him in the coolness eating of all that He provides from the tree of life.
Jesus is that tree and He has already provided our life and our freedom.
Where we are awakened to the revelation of Him and life.
It is by faith that all else is accessed just as set historically in place throughout Hebrews 11.
God also placed another tree in the garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; sitting under the wrong tree creates comparisons of right and wrong, of sleep and death.
Which tree do we choose to sit under and receive from?
“Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,”
The complexity of laws and religion come when we sit under the other tree.
The exhaustion of this can be washed from us
Our invitation is to abide in the heart of God under the tree of freedom, flourishing and refreshed eating and drinking from His abundance.
‘Come and drink from Me. ‘
“For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.”
We don’t have to seek and find freedom we already are free.
We can live from that place of freedom, from the place of rest.
God is now shifting the perspective for us to acknowledge the ‘from’ because in Christ it has already been done. We are not fighting for it to be done.
Jesus paid the ultimate price for us to regain Eden. The heavy weights can be lifted from us. We can live from our place of victory.
It is the work of the enemy trying to convict us otherwise. At the place of encounter we can live now in freedom, rest, healing.
He breathes over us the revelation of His life which delivers us. We are ‘in Him’. We share His divine nature. Salvation is ours not in the future but now already.
We are in and have His presence. God is good irrespective of any circumstance that may surround us in the natural.
We are designed to discover and find our deliverance in Him and then to walk in the cool with Him and all the Adams and Eves who personally surround us who He has called us to share life with.
We have to be awake and present in the moment and see, discern what He is doing even in the simple and unexpected. These are the powerful places He is speaking to us through all the time.
“for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’”
Therefore look for Him everywhere. Culture would have us always rushing on to the next thing. We need time to linger with Him.
“and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”
There is power in His voice. He is everywhere and in everything. He has us simply sit in awe and wonder.
“For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.”
The illustration shows Jesus the fountain of life and the light emanating light that pushes back the darkness.
