As we spoke before...
How do we live strongly and quietly before GOD?
For steady consistent power every day,
And know the beauty of life too?
By remembering first principles.
That,
Life is a good gift—We were gifted into the world as a blessing.
With all we need we grow in love in warmth and safety.
Life nurtured in us by mother nine months.
Then we burst into a busy world. Into 'real life.'
Plunged into chilly hospital air,
Our life-cord cut off.
Forever.
Everyone feels this deep loss.
Cut away from Mum.
Because before that trauma, right in the core of our being we were connected through love right into the belly...
Of her being.
Her tender kindness. Softness.
Our care. Comfort. Love.
Provision.
By...
Our belly.
Yet from that point on,
Clutching our umbilical cord in our hands.
We walk as the blind at midday (Isaiah 59:10) feeling our way along the wall to navigate the world in all its harsh beauty.
Our belly aches to find it's connection,
Back to the flow of life again.
And that knot.
Which everyone feels in the gut.
Is a physical knot.
A small button with a big wound.
Jesus has the answer though...
"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
John 7: 37-38 KJV
Your first wound in life is recorded in your belly.
Yet it is where your healing flows too.
For when Jesus 'Spake this of the Spirit' above being poured out of your belly with rivers of new life—He was really speaking of His Father.
The only one who can heal you.
Because remember saint...
Jesus did not do the works, the miracles, the signs and wonders stacked up in the Gospels did He?
No.
His Father did.
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works."
... I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I."
John 14: 10, 28 (see also v20)
This is a Dad you can trust 100%.
Jesus trusts Him.
The question is do you?
"... When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."
Matthew 6:6 ESV
Every need of yours in life—Physical. Spiritual. Emotional.
Will flow as you spend time in secret with your Father and just as Jesus said it will all flow out of your belly.
"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19 ESV
Our dearest Abba Father, the Father of all spirits including yours (Hebrews 12:9)...
Will take care of you. Live by Him saint.
Is there any other way?
Bless you.
Dave.
PS If you'd like a resource on how to maintain your spirit in a healthy state. So that it is a place your Father is pleased to abide then I recommend this old book...
Watchman Nee—The Spiritual Man.
Caveat: I first read it when not long saved. Yet I had no idea what the author was talking about. Ten years later I read it again... and it began to open to my understanding a little more.
Then suddenly after twenty years.
Wow.
Just wow!
BTW You can get a PDF of it at no cost by hitting the photo of it above. I have the physical copy as you can see, though the PDF is now available too… though to be transparent I have not read all the PDF but it appears to be a true copy.
Dave, I have been in the process of more deeply getting to know Papa God. Since December 2017, I have gathered nightly with notebook and pen and Bible and simply poured out my heart, listened as deeply as I could, wrote down what He said to me. I am finding the relationship and fellowship that I need in order to grow beyond baby status in my faith. Thank you for reminding me of this!! God bless you, Wendy
