When you step into Christ you step away from
the world. The more you enter into Christ the farther you are from the
ways and desires of the world. There’s no way to enter into the life of
Christ and intimacy with Him, to go
through the door to His chambers, while you are in the world. These are
two different places spiritually and you cannot be in both places at
one time.
We have to remove the obstacles that stand in our
way to entering into fellowship with Jesus Christ. It’s a ‘must’ for us
to press in and remove those obstacles, taking them out of the way in
our physical life and our spiritual life, in our thought life and our
emotions. Get alone with Him regularly: worship, praise, absorb His
word and be washed from the filth of the world.
God’s word is
life to us and it brings our bodies to life. Just as the Word became
flesh in the form of Jesus Christ it becomes flesh on us as we are
changed into His image through His word - we become more and more
Christ-like. We transform to what our attentions are focused on - from
the inside of us we are changed to accommodate our focus and
surroundings. This is why Lot found himself living in Sodom – he kept
his eyes on it continually and eventually he was pulled into its inner
chambers.
Open the door to the chambers of the Holy One, to
residing in His presence, by putting your focus on Him - He is already
knocking and waiting for you. Life is about Christ and there is no true
life outside of Him. If you want to really live and exist for a
purpose, it has to be by living this life through His Spirit and under
His wing. Let this be your dwelling place.
Pray for a holy
zeal, a burning desire for God. Don’t seek Him for blessings, seek THEE
blessing, the God of the universe, and let your life flow out of Him.
Set your spiritual face like flint in the direction of His chambers and
enter in.
