Topic: Ark of His Presence
Greetings Sons of God:
As we move in this age, we as the sons of God
are bringing a confrontation to this age. It is the confrontation between light
and darkness. Understand this, light and
darkness cannot coexist in the same place.
As a part of this confrontation, we will be given more and the more we
are given and surrender to His Lordship and demands, the greater His presence
prevails within us. For many this is
really the break-point in your mentality between the culture of the orphan and
son.
The culture of the orphan will hoard what is
given and use it for self-gain and preservation. The culture of the son realizes that he or
she has a Father and He is their source for everything pertaining to life. They seek to be like their Father and
represent Him. Those who have chosen the
culture of the son are understanding that God the Father is their source and
all that is within their possession can be used for the advancement of the
Kingdom.
We said the greater His presence prevails in
us as we surrender more to the Lordship of Christ. The more of His presence has free course
through us the more identical we are becoming with Christ. We are becoming the ark of His presence. We carry the presence of the Lord within us
and as we continue to mature we become more and more like Him and as we become
more like Him, the more freely He flows through us because the restraints have
been removed. The restraints? We will discuss this later in this
message.
The more we see who we are and who He is in
us, the more we untie his hands. Do you
mean to say that we can actually tie the hands of God? As it pertains to Him freely flowing through
you, yes! How can this be? Your
perception of yourself, if it is not born of the Spirit, as Christ sees you,
that is the bond that ties His hands. So
your perception of yourself can hinder the ability of God to freely flow
through you. Understand it is not about
us, it is about who He is within us and when He appears so do we because we are
in Him and we are one. Let me leave you
with this passage of Scripture:
2 Corinthians 6-10: For God, who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of us. We
are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed but not in
despair; Persecuted but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always
bearing about in the body the dying od the Lord Jesus, that the life also of
the Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Peace, Love and Grace,
Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
