Little Person continued to write as if the week of His suffering went right before him. He sat there and walked with Him as he did the first time the Lord opened his eyes by the power of that kind 0lder Man that just appeared out of no where.
Then Little Person was writing as he saw the power of death lose it’s grip on mankind as he witnessed the earthquake and the brightest light he had ever seen prelude the Son of Man walking out of the tomb.
No stone could hold Him back. He saw the brightness of His countenance as the noon day sun shining on Little Person.
He kept writing as he was watching……..
This was not the end of His story….. Now the building of His church was on His mind.
Come one and come all and see the goodness of the Lord. His grace had been shed for you and for me.
Come and see our resurrected King. His way is narrow but oh, how high does He bring us.
Look up and be where He has called all of us to be.
Behold, the Firstborn from the dead and many more will be because of His great love for you and for me.
Salvation is His key for the purpose of the Godhead to be as They see.
We as His body, His new creation. The new creation who walks this earth learning to be
As He is so are we.
Consumed to be as He has destined us to be…… conformed to Himself….
Christ will be all and in all……
The image of the King will be found in His body.
The radiant bride will also arise from her tomb and shine as the noon day sun.
Our King goes before us and has shown us His way.
All of creation is awaiting the day when the sons of God will walk in the fullness of His glory.
Now we seek to know:
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. ( Ephesians 1:17-23).
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen,
( Ephesians 3:14-21).
Little Person thought this great power which raised Christ from the dead resides in His body…. This power, Holy Spirit, is His resurrected power which stops at nothing. This power is His glory that all creation groans to be clothed with as well as His believers….Mortality looses its hold for one that is greater- the resurrected power that births immortality found in the King of all kings and His body.
He continued on his thoughts and scriptures kept popping up in his mind as if Holy Spirit was reminding him of all he had read in his ancient book….. He kept going on in his journey of God. He quickly got out his little ancient book and opened to chapter three of Philippians.
He spent much time in reading this chapter slowly and seeing with opened eyes the purpose of the salvation of God given to mankind….Not to take away of the importance of His taking on mankind’s sin and death decree, but Little Person knew there was more to His purpose to be found in His Son…. He was going to seek this out like going on a trail ride through the mountains…. He saddled up in his ancient book and was going to ask, knowing it will be given….. Show me , Lord. Open up my eyes. Allow me to see and give me the courage to walk this out in You. Nothing is impossible to You…. Give me more grace. Thank You.
Philippians 3: 7-21:
But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life].
But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled].
For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.
And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on [e]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.
[f]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.
Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.
Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you.
For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things.
But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven.
And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body.
This chapter and verses were to Little Person a huge Thanksgiving dinner. He just kept eating and eating and chewing on this perfect Word of God. He received so much hope and a determination to spend his days seeking the fulfillment of the understanding and vision of God’s purpose…A little prayer went before his King, let this be found in me before Your eyes when the fulfillment of my days on this earth are complete.
Salvation is His means to obtain His new creation through His Beloved Son, my King, thought Little Person. He looked up at Aalyiah and wondered what it looked like as she waited for the sons of God to be revealed in His glory.
Child,
The quest you seek in knowing Me in greater measure will be given to you. You do not seek entertainment, nor riches or things but My heart you have captured.
Apprehend Me, children, as I AM has apprehended you.
Come to know Me.
Come to fellowship with Me.
Come and sit before Me and see.
Come up higher.
Father God, I thank You for the Gift of Your Son given to me to die as me. However, the greatest Gift, from Your Salvation to me, is Holy Spirit. I may now sit and be in communion or fellowship with You. This to me, Father, is the greatest Treasure that I keep so close to My heart. There is no greater time in my life than to sit in the cloud of Your glory, Holy Spirit and talk with You. I love You and thank You….. Thank You for the warm sun keeping my hands from freezing too.
I ask a question, You reply and give me Wisdom…. As written, Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 1:30: It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
You show me all things which are great and mighty things that I do not know. I thank You. You are so great and so kind…. Yet, Father God, I have so much fun with You that I never want to leave or stop learning……I never am hungry as You fill my heart with so much more than I can ever think or imagine…. I thank You and praise You…. I also thank You for Your great patience.
Father God, I trust You by the power of Your Holy Spirit that is working His great work, within me. Father, I ask for more grace so I may grow in the knowledge of You. Thank You.
Little Person was so in fellowship, he did not see the cloud bringing the rain.
Child,
Pack up and start back for in two hours the rain will be.
The cleansing of the land will start.
I will keep the rain back until you are in your car.
Thank you, little one, for being with Me and hearing Me.
In two days, return to Me. The winter has passed as Spring has sprung.
Trust in Me for all that I AM has purposed will be in those who believe and leave all for Me.
Return to the barn….
Little Person closed up his stuff. Bridled Aalyiah and off they went.
He turned back, one time to see this special place…. All that was around them had blossomed. The grass was green and the beautiful blue sky was covering them in love of His Creator.
He had not noticed that Aalyiah had been munching on the fresh green grass. His brow furrowed as he thought, wasn’t the place all brown when he had arrived?
He turned back one more time before starting her in a trot. Yup, the place looked like a beautiful spring day with winter long gone and moving farther away.
He smiled and looked up…. You are the greatest God and there is no one like You.
Thank You for who You are and who You are to me.
They headed back to the barn in a trot. They had to reduce it to a walk when he got to lower ground. The ground was too soggy for anything but a walk.
Little Person cleaned up Aalyiah and dropped her some hay….. He sat with her as she munched and sneezed. He started to think of all that happened today. His understanding was not all there yet, but he could totally be excited. His spirit man was jumping up and down from all that could be in front of him now.
Then a rolling of distant thunder was heard. He patted the mare and said see you in two days as God is willing…..
He got in his car and the heavens opened and poured down the blessing of the rain.
Greater blessings than these shall be if we will have His Spirit lead our way…..Christ in us is our only hope of glory, Little Person thought.
His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
