We've already got his purity, his victory. Now it's all in coming to him totally yielded and humble, always being an easy touch. Coming to him hungry, thirsty, contrite; knowing we get whatever we ask in that place. 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Amennnn.

I truly desire to know Him more and more. I only want to take from Jesus. Nothing from myself or man. What has taken place is a mindset of eternal impact when it comes to His kingdom, His people. What really has value with the Lord? We cannot continue to drag the heavenly into the compass of the worldly. The Holy Spirit is vast! You cannot comprehend! And we are trying to direct Him?! But what is standing out with me now is victory. And it is somehow linked with this very thing you have brought up. I've told Papa i truly desire His will. I didn't know what I was getting myself into :) I just pray we will set our eyes upon Jesus. Humble ourselves before Him. Allow Him to move as He desires. Let Him prune us. Let the purity flow into and overflow. Right on! I truly desire to know Him more and more. I only want to take from Jesus. Nothing from myself or man.

Dude. Homie g funk. I think this matter is a pressing issue the Lord has been putting out in front of His people.

What I'm looking to do is play this all in slow-motion, so it's absolutely plain that Jesus didn't ever intend to retire his baseball bat when he ascended. Read the verses surrounding everything I just quoted (Hebrews 2, Colossians 2, Ephesians 1 & 4)...notice anything about Jesus handing out bats? Here are 3 amazing pictures of Jesus’ victory. There are many more.
