Summary:

The Holy Spirit is leading us through a process of growth. God’s purpose for us is to obtain His nature – taking up His abode in us. Truth, knowledge, and love is the pathway to His eternal purpose in us.

Show Notes:

• As we grow in God do we get stuck in a ministry that we have identified ourselves as.

• Could an Apostle, Prophet, evangelist, Pastor and Teacher or any other ministry be just an expression of Christ in us as we grow into the fullness of Christ?

• If we hold on to the past, if we try to minister from that place , we’ll never see the completion of what God brought us forth for.

• We lose our individual identity as it’s swallowed up in His great family.

• The partial will be done away with. That’s what we are moving into. Christ in me is the hope of glory.

• It’s the manifold wisdom of God being manifested through His family that is accomplishing His eternal purpose.

Quotes:

• As we grow in God, we grow past things that we thought were the cat's meow. We put them away. They have to be let go of. It's a different day.
• Christ in me is the hope of glory, so I don't have to rely on all these other things.
• There's always another level, and it's a constant process of bringing us up. into that realm of spirit where we can function the way God wants us to function, not the way we think we're going to function.
• God can use us in any order He needs. If you're in a situation where you need to be an evangelist, God can use you there. If you need to be a preacher, He can use you there. But it doesn't mean that's what you are.
• We are a family. We know that. And we share with each other and we reveal ourselves to each other because we know we're family, because we have this call.
• It's our response. It's our acknowledgment. It's our humility. It's our bowing down. It's our awe and our fear and our love. All those responses. They're doing something in proving that God is true, that God, his purpose is true, and what he's doing is revealing to the heavens and the earth that he's going to do this.
• Trust Me, take My hand, and I’ll walk you through this chaos because you are part of the answer. You are My family.

I Corithians 13:11-12

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

I Corinthians 13:8-10

Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

Romans 8:8-9

 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

I Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Takeaways:

As we grow in our relationship with our Father, we lose our individual ministry and identity as we are swallowed up into His family. Our expression becomes part of the family’s expression and this all is beginning to reveal the Father’s eternal purpose to reveal to the heavens and earth that He is true and He will have a family.
