Are You Ready to RECEIVE?

Wednesday, October 17th> 1 Corinthians 2:10-15; Rom. 12:2

What is the ONLY way we will benefit from the NEW revelations, answers and ideas God wants to pour into His people?  It's a vicious cycle if you allow your flesh to dictate.  God is a Spirit, and those who desire to worship, have relationship, and commune with Him MUST do so in spirit and in truth.  In the spirit realm,  God's heart towards us is revealed.  Answers to questions that haven't even been asked yet are given.  He sends visions and dreams, as well as the interpretation of others' dreams.  God also prepares His children for storms coming ahead, and propels them into the process necessary for the next level of their lives.
    
The only way to benefit from these treasures, mysteries and gifts is to STAY IN THE SPIRIT WHERE GOD DWELLS.  But wait... There's no entry into the spirit if fear, anxiety, and frustration are in abundance.  A mind cluttered with these and other carnal things stays in the soulish realm where only the cares of this world matter.  Regardless of how important earthly matters appear to be, they occupy important space and time where the Holy Spirit should be.  Every moment we spend being concerned about what they said and did causes us to miss what the Spirit is trying to get through to us.

So it's really about what we choose to RECEIVE-- what's eternal, or what has already passed away.  God wants His kingdom treasures passed on to His children.  What He can get TO us, He can get THROUGH us.  We were created to be the SOLUTION to this world's problems.  Whether or not we're doing that depends on how positioned we are to receive what God so willingly wants to give.  As for me and my house, we're determined to be on the receiving end of such an awesome heavenly word as POUR; what about you?
