The word from God today is emblematic which means symbolic. Sometimes it is very difficult to figure out what God is doing in your life.

As a believer your walk with Jesus will be symbolic of His life. You will identify with the death and resurrection of Christ.
Your life will also reflect the sign of the times. We are living under the judgments of God and this will impact your life.
This week I was taken to Heaven in a deep sleep for a couple of hours. Everything was perfect and there was never any worry or concern. I woke up and the Heavenly anointing was still with me but left soon and I had to again face all the adversities in my life and the severe testing.
Your relationship with Jesus is built on many factors beginning with the depth of your commitment to Him and willingness to suffer for His sake. There is also the issue of your spiritual maturity and the purpose of God for your life.
The commonality in your walk with Jesus is you have been crucified with Him and the life you now live is for His purposes.
You and I have to walk by faith trusting in the promises of God. There will be suffering and pain at times. God is perfect although it is impossible to clearly see His purposes living in the depravity of the world.
Prayer and intercession are the characteristics of followers of Christ. And, you live on a roller coaster ride where at times nothing seems to make sense.
The biblical principle of ministry is best described in these words; Bring counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day; hide the outcasts. Jesus has given you the keys to the kingdom of God and it is your responsibility to seek wisdom from the Holy Spirit concerning the priorities of your ministry.
Your ministry must originate with the Holy Spirit to have value to God. Wait on God to empower you and release you in His perfect timing.
It is difficult and painful to walk with God because He thinks and acts differently than humans. It takes time and training to live in oneness with God but it is well worth the effort.
Seek your help from God who has power and dominion over the heavens and earth.
Make a decision to live under the auspices of Jesus because there is no hope anywhere else.
My encouragement is to seek out Jesus with all your heart. He is above all things, through all things and in all things.
There is no one like Him!
