One of the most neglected subjects in the western church is transparency. It's a quality of our new natures that is often overlooked. God's thoughts are above our thoughts, we all know the scripture, but when it becomes real in our lives it is astonishing. Daddy wants to shine His light through us so we can be seen for who we really are in the world, so He fashions us intimately for Himself in only the way He can. It is said in Isaiah 11that part of the character of Christ would be His delight in the fear of the Lord. In the book of John it is often recorded that Jesus only desired to do the will of the Father. The Holy Spirit seems to work in my life by floating a lure past my heart, the lure being an attribute of Jesus, watching as I open my mouth as it were, and giggles when I'm hooked. Then begins a process of conversation that shows me the direction in which together we will be travelling. Everything in us that is not Christlike is going to be washed away in the ocean of His love, isn't that great?
I want no fears, bondages, or strongholds, in my life that restricts God from manifesting His desire in and through me. But do you know what? He is the only one that can accomplish what He wants, and it is different for all of us. What is required of us? Just live in the love of Abba with Jesus and listen for His voice!
