HONOR YOUR FATHER THIS SUNDAY IN CHURCH AT 10:30 AM
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
These verses reveal how the Triune God is interwoven with the various ways we contact the Lord.
Here we see the Trinity–the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
All Three are related to unceasing prayer, rejoicing, and giving thanks.
This shows us that whenever we exercise ourselves in these various ways, we open the way for the Triune God to pass through us.
It is by this passing-through of the Triune God that He sanctifies us.
He sets us apart and saturates us with Himself.
The apostle Paul declares in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We receive life, we are cleansed, we are purified, and we are sanctified by allowing the Triune God to pass through us!
Just let Him pass through.
This is the benefit of praying and of spending time with the Lord–we are joined to the flow of the Triune God.
When we pray we allow the Triune God to pass through us, to take care of every one of our needs–to impart life, to cleanse us, to purify us, and to sanctify us.
This is the vision we need when we spend time with the Lord.
Allow God Himself to pass through you.
Just say, “Lord, I want You to pass through me now. I open myself to You from the depths of my being that You may flow in me.”
Stir up your spirit in this way, and the living water will flow (2 Tim. 1:6-7).
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
