Littlestone was at a store. People were picking out tile for their house….. They came up to him and said excitedly,” we found our tile”. He looked down in his hands what they had handed them. The tile décor was of a sun with lines of sunburst shining out, but there was a big problem… It was made of cardboard. It would last maybe a morning, at least in his house, with his cats and dogs. It was not made to be a foundational floor to build your house on.
He looked up at them and said, “This is cardboard. This is not made for floor covering”. This is a decor for a wall or bathroom.
He woke up from his dream.
He questioned to Holy Spirit, what does this dream mean as he was rubbing his eyes and putting his hair somewhat in place for the day.
He was shown Acts 17:31: For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed.
He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
Matthew 7:24-29: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house;
yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of mine
and does not put them into practice
is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The rain came down, the streams rose,
and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell with a great crash.”
When Jesus had finished saying these things,
the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
because he taught as one who had authority,
and not as their teachers of the law.
Littlestone was meeting people all the time, who did not have His Spirit within them. He knew without Holy Spirit, the scriptures were almost a different language to him. When Littlestone met Holy Spirit and came into him, the scriptures came alive.
He was able to live by understanding and knowledge of the Holy One what He desired from Littlestone’s heart and then Littlestone grew more outward from His inward presence.
As written His Word worked mightily in him because His Word as written in Hebrews 4:12-14:
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow.
It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight;
everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him
to whom we must give account.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to what we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are,
yet was without sin.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Littlestone knew he was conformed to living before His gaze, that He knows nothing is hidden so why do anything that would displease Him. He is the lover of his soul. His eyes hold so much love that they have captured Littlestone’s heart forever.
He has learned to give only what He wants for others. He wants to be known and live within by His Spirit in the people who call on His name. Salvation is the Door to His heavenly Father, but His Spirit is the communion He has desired before the foundation of time…..
This is the foundation that will last and because we live in Him and by Him and from Him.
His Word becomes active and works mightily within…… We hunger for His Word more than food or drink of this world. We thirst for His Voice that speaks softer but louder than the tension and chaos around. He is the Answer. He is the Judge. He is the fulfillment of the ache of every heart.
We must be filled with His Spirit and hear His voice more than anyone or thing else in and of this world. He must have the preeminence here so it is as heaven here on this world.
We have been born from above and our Boss is there now and also in us.
We are heaven bound and from heaven at the same time.
His Word is active in us by the power of Holy Spirit.
As written Jesus Christ has been made Everything to us….
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.
Romans 8 shows us, Littlestone thought, the ways of His Spirit within us and how we are to live by His Spirit……Not by power, not by might, but by Holy Spirit as written in Zechariah.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.
And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness.
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of] his Spirit who lives in you.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
1For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. \
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
For in this hope we were saved.
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
And those he predestined, he also called;
those he called, he also justified;
those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
It is God who justifies.
Who then is the one who condemns?
No one.
Christ Jesus who died—
more than that, who was raised to life—
is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers,
neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen, thought Littlestone as he read this chapter. One of his favorites showing the tremendous love of God for His kids….that are in His Firstborn Son…..For God so loved the world He gave His only Son…….
Keep to His Word and on the Foundation of His Rock…… No storm shall come and tear us from Him.
Do know the scriptures so we don’t follow man made talk versus the Voice who speaks to us from heaven……
Hebrews 12:25: Be careful and don’t refuse to listen when God speaks.
Those people refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth.
And they did not escape.
Now God is speaking from heaven.
So now it will be worse for those who refuse to listen to him.
SELAH!!!!
