Confidence comes from the assurance
Scripture: Matthew 3:7-8
Verses 7-8 declare, “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his
baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,” Metanoia demands a change of mind. What does
that fruit look like? It looks like confidence before God. Confidence comes from the assurance of
a heart that has a complete absence of blame, shame, and guilt because our sin is completely
remitted, through the power of the Blood of the eternal Christ. It literally enables us to develop
the same quality of relationship with the Father that Jesus had. That is a metamorphosis that is
going on in our spirit and soul and eventually will affect our body. God graced Israel with it and now He is doing it for the church in the last days. Being God’s end-time witnesses demands this
transformation!
We may take people into certain experiences for some of them it will just be a view into their
future. For others they may see it but not fully engage or understand. But their spirit latches on
and wants to come back there. Jesus can take them to the ark or a mountain, but if they have not
done the preparation of constantly offering themselves as living sacrifices or working on
transforming their lives then the level of authority, they will be operating in will be limited by
the level of holiness (even if they are on a mountain) and transformation that has taken place.
Unless you really work through it, dealing with the 3 levels of transformation,
skinning (behavior patterns),
working on thoughts and intension of the heart -the exchanges you making in your soul.
the bone and marrow (seed line, or bloodline) you will not have the level of authority that
you would otherwise have. Jesus is the high priest who will prepare us, but we have to
cooperate and be pro-active. We have to give him permission that he can do whatever he
needs to do or to show us what we need to do.
We need deepening levels of intimacy, but also deepening levels of purification and refining,
because that opens up different levels of engagement with God.
# Many in the body of Christ have lost focus of the reality of operating with eternity in
view. Pray that we will operate at a different level with eternity in view.
# Not many are maturing into sons of God {Greek – Huios} i.e. those who have grown up
to have the same influence as the Father and are capable of reproducing the same
influence in the next generation.
# Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in this season, to constantly remember that everything
you say and do should count for eternity.
# Pray that you will mature and be a Huios that will influence the next generation.
# Command the channels of your spirit to open up!
