THIS IS THE REALM FOR ALL GOD CHASERS!

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT AND BEING FULL OF THE SPIRIT! A CUP CAN BE FILLED WITH WATER YET IT IS NOT FULL OF WATER! When Stephen was being STONED, he was PRAYING for his persecutors! What was his Prayer Point? Father! FORGIVE THEM! For They KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO! When Jesus was NAILED to the CROSS, He prayed, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM! FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO! WHAT KIND OF REALM IS THIS WHERE BITTERNESS CANNOT OVERPOWER FORGIVENESS? THIS IS THE REALM FOR ALL GOD CHASERS! What Happens when the Spirit's INFLUENCE goes Beyond WHAT we Receive and Begins to Govern how we Respond to LIFE? Consider Stephen! While Stones were Crushing his Body, his Heart was Interceding for the VERY PEOPLE Taking his Life. He was Not Consumed by Rage! This Gave Birth to the Ministry of Saul Turned Paul! Then look at Jesus on the CROSS! Amid Unbearable Suffering, He PRAYED for THOSE Crucifying Him: “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM!” (Luke 23:34). WHAT KIND OF SPIRITUAL REALM PRODUCES SUCH A RESPONSE TO SUCH BITTERNESS? NO! DON'T GET IT TWISTED! I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD DIE UNFURNISHED OR UNFULFILLED! This is the Challenge before Every God Chaser and Every Watchman: we Cannot afford to be Content with Claiming Promises while Neglecting the Inward Work of the Spirit. When the Holy Spirit Takes Deep Root in US, our Responses begin to CHANGE. Hatred no Longer Dictate our Reactions. Offence no Longer Own our Hearts. Bitterness no Longer has the Final WORD! And Suddenly, Proverbs 27:7b Takes on a Significant Part of our LIVES: “But to the Hungry Soul EVERY BITTER THING is SWEET” WHEN YOU ARE FULL OF THE SPIRIT, EVEN BITTER EXPERIENCES NEED NOT PRODUCE A BITTER HEART! DEAR GOD CHASER, IT IS NOT HOW MUCH OF GOD YOU DESIRE, BUT HOW DEEPLY YOU ARE ALLOWING HIS SPIRIT TO TRANSFORM YOU! Welcome to the REALM! KNOW THIS! The EVIDENCE of SPIRITUAL FULLNESS is Not WHAT Comes out of your Mouth when you are Blessed, but what Comes out of your Heart when you are Wounded. #Christian #BibleStudy #Prayer #Faith #ChristianLiving
