Your Grace On Which I Stand - Kristian Stanfill

New Fashion

 As we mature in our walk with The Lord we will grow from independence to dependence. This is opposite the natural order where as we progress toward adulthood we become independent. To enter the Kingdom of God we must become as little children. In the school of the Spirit we have different uniforms that the Lord wants us to put on. One is the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isa 61:3). Everything in the Kingdom is opposite the world. The Lord gives us the garment of praise. The world gives us the spirit of heaviness that weights us down and keeps us from running the race toward the High Calling. Blessed are the poor in spirit. The more we grow in the knowledge of God the more helpless we are. There is an incredible liberty in this heart attitude that the Lord is birthing in us. To become dependent upon Him is to release Him in our life. To trust Him with all that relates to us. To acknowledge Him in all our ways is to demonstrate by word and deed a complete heart reliance upon Him. And wonder of wonders our life comes into divine order. If we allow it the Lord, will take us through a process where He re-clothes us. He will strip away our worldly garments....attitudes….of pride...of independence, of self-reliance and clothe us with dependence, with humility and contriteness! The “New Song” we will sing before the Lord in the book of Revelation is born out of who we have become as we have allowed the Lord to re-clothe us and cause us to move in harmony with the Holy Spirit. A beautiful Bride that has made herself ready for the return of The Lord.

Wonderful Counselor - Antioch Live

 

In the dark there's a light
rising up through the night
Through the shadow of death
Hope's beginning to shine

For unto us the Son has come
Our hearts restored our victory won
Jesus Your love has overcome (for – ev – er)

Wonderful Counselor the Mighty God
Everlasting Father the Prince of Peace
We put our hope in You We put our hope in You

Now the old things have gone and a new day has dawned
In Your glorious light we will rise with a song

Of Your government and peace
There will always be increase
For Your kingdom will prevail
And Your reign will never cease
We put all our hope in You
For Your love has broken through
We declare that You are Lord
And Your promises are true

We put our hope in You We put out hope in You

Step Down

Rev 3: 19-22 
‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. 20‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

The Lord is waiting outside the door of our life experience eagerly desiring to come in. It is only as we hear and open the door of our life to His Lordship that He can begin to prepare us to function in eternity as His Sons and His Bride. The time is short therefore the training is intense. He wants to take us far beyond our salvation into the whole new world of His Kingdom.  From within the Church there is a people who have heard the call and flung open every door and said Lord Jesus, I want Your best and Your highest for my Life. Whatever it costs Lord. Whatever it means, I invite you to order the circumstances of my life that I might be prepared as a Bride and a Son. The cost is great and we enter in one choice at a time. One step at a time. One decision at a time. So we redeem the time by choosing for The Lord and miraculously all things begin to work together. Sometimes He will take our successes and  humble us through them and He will take our failures and mistakes and bless us or someone in our life through them. This causes us not to lean on our own understanding  but to be lifted above the natural realm and be led by the Spirit as a Son. Step down off the throne of your life today and invite Jesus to be not only your Savior but your Lord. It will change who you will be for all eternity!
