Who God is for you

 

I am writing this in January, it’s the start of the year, and seasonally this time of the year is where things slow, just coming out of Christmas, and then preparing for Chinese new year. At these slow downs cash flow is most stretched and the emotions and the mind wonders how this new year is going to perform. When I have had a great run last year, my mind had defaults to “Is this year going to be as good? Is the economy going to be tougher, the lingering issues in life, are they going to explode, or will they stay status quo? So many a times, I default to the negative, because life in the fallen world is like this, things can just go wrong, and often times they do, or do they?

 

A reflection on this shows two main observations.

1) What we focus on becomes big in our eyes, and

2) our memories are selective.

Trying to take an objective rear view. Life in the past few years has been great, its greater than the previous few years, and those years are good! So if one was to do a trajectory, This year is going to be greater that the previous years combined.

However, our mind defaults to remembering there were things that is happened that did not go very smoothly, and with our selective memory, we project those into the future.

 

It is a flawed and unrealistic projection at best, but it is evil in disguised. Why are we believing for the worst, when we should be believing for the best? It is the classic unbelief that the bible mentions, and it comes from an unrenewed mind. Its like the interaction of Elijah and jezebel. After a tremendous display of the power of God, where Elijah was the hero of the story, He got afraid of some teethless threat of Jezebel, he just burned a wet cow by commanding fire from the sky, so at the very least, he could have replied, before the end of today, the earth will eat you up alive Jezebel. An eye for an eye! Who are you to threaten THE man of God!! (not saying that is the Godly attitude. But if he was to just look at his recent events, you would think Elijah can responded differently)

 

The unrenewed mind is an unrenewed mind to truth. The word of God is truth. We are still on old and bad programing which was corrupted by Adam’s sin. And we default to the curse of Adam, and not default to the blessing of Jesus. We do not value or esteem the word of God in the way that it is worth, and I say this not condemningly, but if we understand the power and the reality of God’s word. We would spend more time on meditating on it, and we won’t be struggling with the issues of life in the way that we do. There is power in the word of God, it is life with a different blueprint, but we do not take enough time to study it to see how to build life that God has designed it for us to live. When I say we don’t esteem it like its worth, truly no one can give it enough time to study it. And ultimately its is not just about studying the word of God for the blueprint, it is studying the word of God to find out who God is, and specifically who God is for you. The word of God is like a ginormous nugget of pure gold, that is seating in our front yard, and we just think it is just any lump of rock.

 

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

 John 6:63

We think God is not actively wanting us good, we think he is indifferent, distant, but this is all wrong belief. We have made God to be like an enemy in our own mind. Where in reality he is our loving father. Jesus’ life and mission was to show us the truth that “GOD IS YOUR FATHER” and he showed us that when we recognize that, we walk in the reality that Jesus walks in. because he knows who his father is.

 

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Col 1:21

We alienated ourselves from God, because we think God is not for us, we think God doesn’t wants the best for us, the reason we are experiencing life in a crap way is because we have removed ourselves from the source OURSELVES! It is all available via the reconciliation that Jesus made, we can experience life in the same way as pre fall Adam, We can walk in power and providence like Jesus. God is not the problem as to why we are not walking in the blessing, we choose the path of poverty and sickness because in our own mind we alienated ourself from the providence, which tells us, Jesus became poor so you can be rich, by his stripes you were healed. Embrace God. Jesus has redeemed us, translated us, the work is finished. Walk like Jesus, not just Jesus in the carnal, but as he is now, so are we in this world.

 

2023, This is the year where I esteem the word of life. I am blessed, I have full health, and am fully healed, I am prosperous, I am protected, I am saved, I am translated, I am at peace, I have the power to create wealth, God is for me, he is my father, and he is God. I speak towards any sickness in my body, and I speak creative ideas, and power to create wealth, I command those to appear, because God has sanctioned it. It is this and no other.
