10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things He had planned for us long ago. We are His masterpiece. We are not our own masterpiece.
God is outside of time and time is only the measure of what men do so that we can order our lives. So, if God is out of time, there is no time in God. Eternity is always ever-present right now. Eternity cannot be measured from the beginning to the end of where eternity is. Eternity is always an immediate present right now.
God is going to be expecting us in this age that we live in to redeem time. God has already said He’s going to redeem time. The only way He can redeem time is because He’s out of time, and He can make things that were supposed to happen in the time of men that we thought this is the time it should happen in.
God has already seen our whole life and He knows what everybody’s going to choose because He’s already seen their choices. So, instead of waiting for you to make the choice, He sends someone into your life, He sends messengers into your life, He sends awareness of Him into your life. He sends a pulling of a conviction of the Holy Spirit into your life to draw you to do things that give Him the space in your life. This doesn’t take your choice from you. He just knows what choice you’re going to make because He’s already seen it.
This amazing God knew all these things, then it means that He and the Holy Spirit and Jesus made a decision before They made men. They made a decision that Adam’s choice would become Their choice and that Adam’s choice would make a demand that Jesus would have to come to the earth. He made a decision to sow Himself into a human being so that His self could be in a human being and live and be tempted in the body of a human being in the same way that all human beings are tempted.
It was a choice that whenever His Body made a pull on His Divinity, He said to His Body, “You don’t rule Me.” Every time Jesus conquered His Body, He gave us victory. Every time there was a desire that came to Jesus and He conquered it, He gave us victory. If He did it, we can do it. He gave us victory.
All of us have natural energy in our bodies, if you have energy in your body that has a beginning and has an end, then it means your body energy is finite. But there is another energy that you have in you that is not finite. That energy is your spirit. It came from God. Everybody that has a spirit, their spirit’s energy is dormant until they get born again. If you are born-again and Jesus lives in your spirit, then you now have an energy that is the ultimate Source of life’s energy living inside of you.
When you put the Word of God into your spirit and the Holy Spirit is working with the Word of God in your spirit, you begin to access a level of energy that will never, ever stop. It will never ever come to an end. From the moment you get born again, your spirit-energy can do only one thing, it can grow.
We are only here on earth for a moment. The power of it is that in that moment, God puts His energy in us and He puts His life in us and says, “Come live with Me in eternity.”
Every time you go to sleep, you will be reminded and God created it like this, that when you sleep to replenish your energy in your human life and your soul life, every time you sleep to replenish energy, you are reminded that death is a moment away. Because sleep is a measure of death. Your whole body slows down. Everything about you slows down. Your body starts to regenerate itself so that when you wake up in the morning, it’s a mini rebirth. The mini rebirth is to remind you that every time you rebirth in the morning, you should be connecting to Almighty God because He gave you the rebirth in the morning and that you are this close to death every time you go to sleep.
Every time you go to sleep, remember that you must die to yourself so you can be rebirthed every day. You must die to yourself so you can rejoice every day. You must die to yourself so you can grow every day. You must die to yourself, so you can be more glorious every day. It’s a daily reminder that when you sleep and you rise, God’s in your life.
When Jesus’s body died on the cross, His spirit and His energy went to hell. But His spirit was pure before God, it was holy. His glorious light was shining in hell and all of the devil’s schemes and all of his weakness and his inferiority and his deception and all of his stuff that he was, it was exposed inside the glorious light that for the first time and the glorious light of Jesus exposed his deception.
God did all of this for us. He gave us everything. Now, if we are faced with a decision to give ourselves to God. Do you think that’s a big sacrifice? Jesus already gave Himself. He’s been to places you haven’t been. He went to real hell so that you don’t have to go to hell. He went into the very presence of death itself so that He could win it back for you. Jesus gave Himself and He gave everything. So, you and I think we can just give God what we think, and then we must hold on to the rest for ourselves? We’ve got to get more serious about God.
What are we to make of this energy point that we find ourselves in? The energy point is, God has spoken by His Word to create ancient paths that we are supposed to walk on. And in this moment, the energy for us to go to the next level, to the next point, shift, move, become what we need to become. God is calling all of us to do this.
If we think that everything that we do is just about us, then we are mistaken. Living for me is such a low level of life. Living for me. Living for what I can get out of this world is such a low level of life. But living in the assignment, the gifts, the callings, the plan of God, the energy that God says, “Let’s harness. Let’s harness this energy.”
We have a choice what we do with our energy. We can use it to fulfill our bodies or we could use it to get into the order of God.
Say: Lord, I choose to use my energy to serve You. I choose to be more serious about You. I choose to walk on the ancient paths that You prepared for me.
