Jesus' Life By Kathleen Angell
I'm so feeling the Joy of the Lord today, I just had to write.
Just so much of His love and joy welling up and flowing over, and out, that you have to find someone to share it with.
We have someone staying with us who is under alot of depression and would like to take everyone else there, too.
The person being used is a victim, a victim of sin, just like I have been in the past, no doubt unknowingly being used to do the work of darkness, but a slave to sin, being used by it's taskmaster.
A servant of sin, obeying it's master.
The Lord came to give us life and life abundantly. I know His hand that reached in to save me and it is the same hand of God that can and will reach in to save the victim's of sin and death's victim. He gives life.
So this weekend has been one of experiencing someone being used by a darkness and seeing them move in a being used by darkness and trying to bring others down into that darkness of depression.
But not so with Jesus. He is Lord of All. He's not "under", the spell of depression or any other sin. Depression doesn't lead Jesus, Jesus led and made show of depression. He led captivity captive. He made and still does, makes show, He is Lord, Victor, and shows openly His victory over death and sin.
He has loosed the chains and broken the power of hell, sin and death. And those whom the Lord has set free are free indeed.
Free to extend His hand to the needy, to the prisoners, to those captive to do the will of the devil.
To offer them, freedom, in Jesus Christ.
The wonderful thing about following the Lord is, we share in His life and have fellowship with Him.
And He isn't going there. He's not going to be a part of darkness. Darkness has nothing in Him. He is over all things and that has already been put under.
He came to set the captives free. And His life sets us free, to extend the same to them.
I keep feeling His joy welling up in me, and when I sat down to watch t.v. this morning, I happened on to a show that just added more joy.
I had never listened to The Potter's Touch on t.v., with Bishop Jakes. I don't think I'd ever listened to this man speak at all.
It was one of those moments you know that the Lord is giving you encouragement and refreshment, and I think, agreement. Like, yes, this is you, and there are brothers and sisters like you, in His Spirit out there.
I'd felt so much trying to quench the Spirit in my walk these days, like a blanket going over me to confine the joy of the Lord and the move of God, into an expressionless form of following, that it was like a breath of fresh Air, literally, to feel the Spirit of the Lord speaking through this man's spiritual words.
What is spiritual has an expression of spiritual. It is understood by those who have the ears to hear it. And it gives life to the hearer.
Christ lives a life in us that is separate from the world's life.
It was just so refreshing to me. It made me to think of my own walk and what God has given to me. His own life, a refreshing and vibrant life that cannot be hidden. And, I don't want to hide it.
It wells up in me, and is the very life of God in me welling up to Eternal Life, like what Jesus told the woman at the well. If she would ask of HIm, He would give to her, that life.
This life of God is precious to me.
Precious, precious, precious! More than gold or fine silver. People speak alot of liking silver and gold these days, but the Life of Jesus is so far surpassing that, that there is no comparison. Nothing is more to be desired than this. To know Him.
And I don't anymore want to hide it under a bushel than the man in the moon. I want His life expressed in me, and out of me. His life is Spirit and it is LIfe. He expresses in Spiritual ways. And it is life to me. Water to my bones.
It had been a long time since I'd heard anyone really expressive in the Spirit, speaking spiritual words, and understanding that is understood by the Lord, and therefore understood by those he gives ears to hear it, and it made me to be uplifted and ncouraged in what I feel about my walk with Jesus.
When I "hear" life, it encourages me in "life." Jesus life. My inner man hears it, and rejoices. It gives life to my inner man, to express outwardly, not the other way around.
It is just too precious and life to me, to be hidden under a bushel, or quenching the flow of Life given to me.
That Jesus Christ is that Life, that Well of Life that wells up and out, into an expression of life that is above the life of the natural or the demonic.
That same power that God gave to do miracles and exploits in His name to give to Him, glory.
Those whom the Lord sets free are free indeed. And free to live in HIs life, welling up to LIfe everlasting.
Rejoice in the Lord!
My desire is for my Website is a servant to the Body of Christ. It is christiannews.highpowersites.com
Where the News is Jesus.
I'm walking daily, leaning on Him, hoping to be more obedient and to find out that like Jesus spoke of, it is my bread to do the Will of God.
