The word from God today is the deep speaks to the deep. God is impressing upon me to teach about this deep spiritual truth. It is of upmost importance in His mind. I have learned over many years how to live by this biblical principle and this revelation has radically changed my life.
The gift of salvation is the beginning of a relationship with God.
This is a deep calling from God. Jesus seals His nature into your heart, mind and soul. The calling is between the Holy Spirit residing in a believer and the nature of God. The deep speaks to the deep.
This is often misinterpreted as a calling to do works for God but the purpose of salvation is to identify internally with the nature of God and live in oneness with Him. The works or service are an outcome of this deep and intimate relationship with God.
The vocation of the spiritual man or woman is to be a fountain of Living Water touching those around you. You work for God in the ordinary tasks of life.
Salvation is giving up your life for the life of Christ. You belong to God and He can do with you as He pleases. This is where believers run into trouble. They cannot accept the reality of the “born again” experience. Walking with God is a microcosm of the life of Jesus and you lose your rights and independence.
The deep calling is to live by faith and be obedient to the voice of God.
You trust the promises of God and not what you see with your eyes. This is contrary to all human logic and very difficult for most to accept. We are self driven people looking for results. God has no ego and is retraining you to think and act in His ways.
God wants your obedience to His voice regardless of the cost or sacrifice. This is a stumbling block for most believers.
The voice of God is controversial, unpredictable and can be very radical. Your obedience to God can be upsetting, uncomfortable and seem like a road leading to disaster. Expect the unexpected with God!
All this seems like it just isn’t worth the price. The reward is you live with God forever and inherit all His promises!
