Introduction and New Journey

Recently I’ve been seeking the Lord, asking Him about our next steps in this spiritual journey. This past week, I felt Him guiding us towards a new phase. We’ve discussed the 12 spiritual habits, but now it’s time to move forward and grow in our spirit and train our brains. Our bodies should be an expression of Heaven, manifesting Heaven’s circumstances on Earth.

Creation itself is longing for the revelation of God's presence through us, as mentioned in Romans 8. Though Jesus left, He gave us His presence to sustain the Earth until the New Heavens and New Earth come. Our goal is to understand what creation is seeking and how we can grow, heal, and bring new understanding to everything we are responsible for.

The Importance of Understanding

I challenge us all to pursue understanding, just as Moses did. Moses asked God to show him His ways to know Him better. Understanding God’s ways provides insight into who He is, and this is enough to lead a life aligned with His will. Understanding is crucial as it leads to vision, preventing people from perishing.

Without understanding, there is confusion, conflict, and destruction. Understanding brings trust, unity, and partnership. By knowing God's ways, we can bring new perspectives and transformation to our circumstances. This understanding is key to our spiritual growth and leadership.

Goals and Perspectives of Jesus

Let’s consider the goals and perspectives of Jesus, as understanding His goals helps us grasp God's intentions. Jesus had two primary goals: preaching the Kingdom and destroying the works of the devil. Preaching the Kingdom helps people recognize and heal from the blindness caused by the enemy. Destroying the works of the devil liberates people from lies and oppression.

Jesus’ goals were to bring healing and invite people to understand and live in the Kingdom of God. This understanding transforms individuals, enabling them to live in the light and overcome darkness. By adopting Jesus' goals and perspectives, we too can experience similar transformations in our lives.

The Role of Assignments and Challenges

God gives us assignments to grow and experience new perspectives. These assignments are challenges that test our emotions and reliance on God's presence. By accepting assignments, we mature and gain trust, leading to a deeper understanding of God's ways.

Challenges bring new perspectives and should be seen as opportunities to grow and experience God's presence. Rebelling against challenges is akin to rebelling against God. Embracing challenges allows us to experience the presence of God and gain new insights. This understanding changes our circumstances and helps us grow in our faith.

Creation and Peace

Creation doesn’t happen without peace. Peace is an internal joy that surpasses understanding and is crucial for bringing external joy and creation. We must seek peace and joy within ourselves to manifest it externally.

Understanding and accepting challenges lead to peace, which facilitates creation and growth. We need to protect our emotions and seek God's presence to overcome fears and anxieties. By doing so, we can create and bring new things into our lives, reflecting the peace and joy of Heaven.

Conclusion and Call to Action

I challenge you all to read Numbers Chapter 14 to understand how Joshua and Caleb embraced God’s challenges and found favor. Challenges are invitations to occupy new spaces and experience God's presence. Let’s accept and grow through these challenges, knowing that they bring us closer to God.

As we walk into the world today and this week, let’s embrace the challenges God gives us. These challenges provide power and authority, allowing us to accept His presence in every space. Though we walk through the valley of death, we will not fear, for His presence is with us. We are victorious, not victims. Thank you, Lord, for giving us these challenges. Let’s look forward to new experiences with God. Amen.
