Revelation for Your Destination
by Linda Lariscy, "Life Lines"
Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage….7 They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion (Psalms 84:5&7 NKJV).
Jesus lover, the journey you are on can get trying sometimes. As you climb the mountain that is your earthly life, look forward to your destination. Remind yourself frequently you are on a pilgrimage, and the higher you climb, the closer you get to the Lord. The Holy Spirit is your traveling companion. He is within you and will refresh you when you pass through the valleys of tears and the scorched places. Make him your well, for He is the fountain that will never run dry.
The habitations of this earth can be cruel, so don’t make it your home. The enjoyments of the world cannot hold a candle to the privileges of following Jesus, who is your portion and prize. Holy Spirit will inspire you along the way, and He will show you your future. He is here in you to guide you so you will not make a wrong turn or bad decision. He is as close to you as your breath; in fact, He is the breath of life.
Make sure you leave behind emotional baggage that will weigh you down and make the journey unnecessarily burdensome. The wounds you nurse will only entangle you in sin. Release all grudges and bad memories into the streams of God and watch them float away. Look to the Lord to be your fortress and present help in trouble. As you continue to walk in the light of the Lord’s revelation, you will go from strength to strength and finish well. Press on, beloved. Forget those things which are behind you and reach for those things that are before you. The high calling of God in Christ Jesus is worth the trip!
Move to Get Your Breakthrough
by Linda Lariscy, "Life Lines"
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water (John 7:37-38 NKJV).
Jesus used the term living waters to describe the Holy Spirit in you. We have a spring in us that never will run dry. Holy Spirit moves and never stagnates. That's why Jesus referred to Him as living waters. Dead things don't move. Life is energy. Wind and fire and the dove all represent the Holy Spirit, and they all move! Apostle Paul taught us that if we live in the Spirit, we should also walk in the Spirit. Where is your get-up and go? The life of God, that's where!
When a person receives the revelation that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and accepts Him as Lord and Savior, he or she instantly connects and aligns with God. Holy Spirit fills them. The life of God begins to flow in and through them. Spiritual growth results, and fruit begins to develop and becomes evident. The Spirit of God transforms people from the inside out, giving you a quality life rather than a good living.
You can quench the Holy Spirit from moving through you when you doubt and fill your senses with the pleasures of this world. If you have been sluggish of late, stir yourself up in your faith. Refresh yourself by praise and worship and thank God for all He is and has done. Remind yourself that within you is a fountain of living water easily accessed by your spiritual senses. Remain conscious that the life of God is within you and see by faith the River of God flowing in you.
The Father is a living God, and He has prepared living works for you to complete. The living waters within you will empower you to achieve them. Ask the Lord to prepare your heart to receive a breakthrough. And make sure you are willing to move on to whatever He tells you to do to receive your miracle!
