The Spirit says, The glory of BEing “invisible†is not that God’s sees YOU when others don’t see “YOU,†the glory is that YOU are NOW IN-Visible. YOU are INLightINed to see who ‘you’ REALLY are! The glory of being IN-Visible is that your new Identity is NOW BEing unveiled withIN! You are beginning to see that INside, “YOU†no longer exist!
Here’s the awesome truth, In you Christ lives and moves and has HIS BEing. INside, you are ONE with the Father, and the Son, IN the Spirit. You are ONE in I AM. I AM is LOVE. The veil of the heart is drawn back and “Who†resides there is LOVE. WHAT you now “do†is ushered out of who you are… Love.
So many times we, individually, believe that what good “I†do, I do for others or “for the Lord.†We believe that “someday†God will reward us. It is most likely however, that whom we are really serving is our “self.†Self is synonymous with ego, and ego is the source of pride. Ego has an insidious need to be seen for the sake of “self†and pride must be stroked, often at great cost.
It is subtle self that waits for the great ‘by and by’ for a pat from God instead of raising up and being who He says we are NOW In Him. It is subtle pride that looks to another human being for “reward†and affirmation. It is only by pride that contention comes. Envy, jealously, and frustration, fed by the lust of the eyes, seeks to be stroked by others and reacts in strife, lashing back when denied or, in depression, turning that anger back at ones “selfâ€. These are soulish “warning signs†that often precede the “every evil thingâ€â€¦bitterness and resentment, suicides, ‘church’ splits, divorces, and wars.
Whom do you serve and why? Heart motivations will be seen in the natural realm.
Look inside, you are IN-Visible! BEing “led by the Spirit†is to be a “son of God.†We are not daughters; not women, not men, not Jew, not Greek, but we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. We may act like the prodigal, we may be having an identity crisis, we may be hiding behind the iron curtain of religion, but that does not change the INward reality of BEing a new creation IN Christ. Look INside, discover your true identity now. Realize who you are, you are visible NOW withIN
The reality of the cross is that “I†no longer exist. The life I live in the flesh I live ‘not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit’. I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer “I†who live but Christ lives in me, and the life I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loves me and gave His life for me. What are the motivations of your heart? Motivations matter. Self- serving good deeds are dead works.
The Truth is I am IN-visible. I see who I really am right NOW and so does God.
It’s not simply that I am building a great Cathedral but that I AM a great cathedral built up In Him. In My Father’s house there are many mansions, I am one of them, a son of God, a priest and a King who reigns IN LOVE. I am NOW In-Visible.
