Moving to a New Site

Hello,

After using Blogger for several years I have decided to make the move to another site. Please come follow me here. https://bigpapasheart.wordpress.com/ I have imported all of my blogs over to the new site.

Unified

A friend posted something earlier that I read about how John and James wanted to be seated at the right hand of Jesus, a place of honor. And Jesus told them "no", he then went on to explain how He wanted to be closer to them and us than sitting next to Him. His desire was and still is to be united with us. After reading this I ended up reading John 14 (several times through) which pretty much lays out not only His desire to be united with us, but also how it looks, and how we benefit. In the beginning of the chapter he deals with Thomas and his need for details, and Philip with his inability to see what's been in front of him the last three years. He then goes on to explain how He is in the Father and that through the Holy Spirit we are in Him, because He is in us. Abba has been talking to me so much about "on earth as it is in heaven" and this lays out how it works. You see Jesus didn't just set the example for us to follow He is in us, speaking to us, guiding us, giving us the power and ability to do whatever He asks of us. His desire to become fully united to us happens when we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. When we say "yes Lord" He enters in and there is a change that happens in us, in that moment we become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) that is worthy and able to be His dwelling place.

Don’t you believe that the Father is living in me and that I am living in the Father? Even my words are not my own but come from my Father, for he lives in me and performs his miracles of power through me. Believe that I live as one with my Father and that my Father lives as one with me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done. “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him. Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!” John 14:10‭-‬14 TPT
