“Abundant life is a gift, which has requirements. It is not relying on your own logic, resources, or ingenuity; but it is becoming dependent on Me and My resources, power, wisdom and ability. I am not far away in heavenly realm, unable to have contact with you. Instead I Am with you and in you, through My Spirit in all and everything you do, and wherever you are, and in every circumstance.
From the outward physical appearance, the person ‘living in the Spirit, is only evident by the way they think, and the things they do. It is most evident by those of like-mindedness, having spiritual discernment, and the outward display of love, joy, peace, fulfillment, purpose, because of faith and dependence on Me.
Your trust and faith is not in a long distance relationship with an ethereal, impersonal God. Instead I Am an intimate and personal God who dwells within you. The Scriptures’ state: ‘I dwell within you, through My Spirit’. You are My temple, in which My glory, authority and power dwells, which links together all who are mine in unity.
When you pray and commune with Me, you open the Vail, or door between us, allowing My Spirit to actively cleanse, purify, refine, and illuminate your thoughts and mind; to give you wisdom and discernment to operate through you, to direct and guide your life.
‘Your will’, determines how much you will allow Me to be Lord of your life. I will not over ride ‘your will’, but if you desire your will to be in unity with Mine, to see and experience things as I do, I will cause it to be. This is a major spiritual battle for your soul.
To whom do you give preeminence, and who or what will dominate your soul? When the Scriptures say: ‘If you hold on to your life you will lose it, but if you give up your life for My sake you will find it.’ What you will find is the abundant and eternal Spirit filled life.
We will no longer be under the dominion of sin and death, which is rooted in rebellion that creates bondage, as the nature of the fallen principalities and powers of darkness. Instead redemption takes priority in your life to be in the likeness of Christ, who through submission allowed Him to walk in unity, to dwell and to operate in the fullness of who I Am. As you also were created to do likewise.
Open your mind and your heart to understand and comprehend what I have been telling you. When you give Me all, I will give you all. When you are in submission and unity with Me, you can be trusted to be all you were created to be. I will activate those things within you, which you never realized were there.
You will truly live in the fullness of My Spirit, and experience abundant life on the earth and throughout eternity. You were created to be servants, and when you serve and bless others, peace and joy comes. You were never given authority to dominate other people. My kingdom is based on serving others. The requirement to live the abundant life in Me is to commit your whole life to Me, to become redeemed into the image of Christ, to fulfill the destiny created for you.
