Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Romans 8:18, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
You may be in the throes of a situation where you find yourself perplexed, confused, and depressed.
You do not know what is going on in your life.
You are not clear about what the Lord is doing.
You find yourself in the grip of anxiety.
At that specific juncture, you need your vision renewed.
You need a fresh realization that you are a child of God, an heir of God, and a joint heir of Christ.
The Spirit needs to redraw on the screen of your heart that your destiny is to suffer with Christ and be glorified together with Him.
You need a present life-consciousness that you are on the pathway of the cross, which leads all the way to the throne, to sit with Him on the throne (Rev. 3:21).
For this realization to be your experience, you need to stimulate your spirit.
You do not need to live feeling that everything is wrong and that all hope has vanished.
You simply need to exercise your spirit to cry “Abba, Father!”
When you do, a fresh consciousness will begin to arise in you.
A fresh realization of your destiny as a child of God will begin to take hold of you.
Fresh vision will emerge, and you will be able to sort out things from God’s viewpoint.
This is the meaning of Romans 8:13-19.
To stimulate our spirit is to usher ourselves into inwardly applying the cross.
This is the genuine leading of the Spirit mentioned in Romans 8:14.
It is being led by the Spirit to put to death the practices of our body.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
