WOW! I’ll NEVER Cease to be in TOTAL Awe of God’s Faithfulness to Confirm!
As I’ve often shared, one of the most amazing things I’m blessed to see God do over and over again is confirm the work done here, which often feels like He is very personally saying that we’re doing a good job! So imagine my awe and delight when I saw the following message from Glenn Jackson this morning—after our awesome Bible study last night, Why We Struggle, which used the same scripture (John 15:4-5)!
For the first time, our call was interrupted and it took a while for the lines to be available again, and then my computer malfunctioned, so it’s obvious the devil didn’t want that Bible study to take place! BUT our God is bigger and just as He declared in Proverbs 21:30, NO wisdom, NO insight and NO plan CAN succeed against God! So we had a great time of fellowship and study and I strongly encourage everyone who wasn’t able to participate to listen to the calls–it’s in two parts. And I know you will all be very blessed and encouraged by Glenn’s awesome and timely message!
EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER [Reflections Of The Father’s Heart]
August 10th 2010
VISION
– I entered a room and saw [literally] a million piece jig-saw puzzle lying in pieces on the floor. I immediately perceived the complete and utter hopelessness of the task of putting it together other than “entirely” by supernatural means.
The Father spoke to me and said: The “million pieces” of the puzzle represent the million facets of My Will that I am carrying out “behind the scenes” in any given moment on the behalf of My children [and all those in their “sphere of existence”] with a view to the perfect fulfillment of their destiny, in Christ. The fact that they were strewn about the room represents the fact that it is humanly impossible
for one to piece together the “puzzle” [mystery of their life and calling] properly. For even if one could put the pieces together it is certain that they could not do it in the “divine order” [piece by piece in the perfect order that is known only to My heart] that is necessary to both bring about and fulfil My highest Will and purpose in their lives – and the lives that they will touch [and the lives that will touch them] between now and the end of the age.
“strewn” – to let fall in separate pieces over a surface; scattered;
….”Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in [being vitally united to] the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much [abundant] fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing”…. John 15:4-5
The Amplified Translation
….”we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal [brief and fleeting], but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting”…. 2 Corinthians 4:18
