Our Obstacles are for the Glory of God

“For what shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus neither height nor depth nor principalities or powers nor any other creative things shall separate us from the love of God”.
    It is the obstacles that we face in our life that are presented to us for the glory of God to be revealed, even as Christ had said with Lazarus when asked why he remained dead for 4 days? Jesus said to his disciples “didn’t I tell you that if you only believe you would see the glory of God?” Many of the obstacles or seeming contradictions faced by Christ in the scriptures was met with his words of “this is happened for the glory of God to be revealed”. It was that he would speak a word, and the word that He spoke would become the thing that he said. In this way he showed himself to be Son of the Father by doing deeds of the Father. It was the glory of God manifest through His Word as He spoke to the obstacles be it by death or principalities and powers, or things present and things to come, it was Christ who spoke a word and that obstacle became beat like pulp. It became “chaff in the wind”.
  So for us too. We meet these obstacles head on with the word. And this is as it was said “speak anything in My Name and I we’ll do it”. It is as we speak to the obstacles with a word of faith that “we bear much fruit” that “the father is glorified when you bear much fruit”. In this way we share in His glory and we experience His Glory in doing so. It is to be able to speak a word and the thing become the thing that we say like God th Only Begotton do. This is the shared glory of God given to us in Jesus Christ to the elect of God who are called. “For whom He called He justified, and whom He justified He Glorified. (Romans 8. ) These are the chosen and faithful being sanctified and ready for every good work. And the only eternal work is a God work. And the only work God does is word for “all the earth and all it’s works shall be burned for the eternal to remain”. (2 Peter 3. ) So these obstacles we face?  This is our moment for glory to shine forth. As a “kind of first fruit of His creation” we show the likeness of our Father. To speak a thing to be and it becomes the thing we say. Wow! Glory to God!
This is how we show ourselves as the “fullness and stature of the Son of God” “to a perfect man” for “of His fullness we have received”. As James says “it is a perfect man who can bridle his mouth”? Because the mouth is the tool of the trade of the Heavenly Father, word. Also displayed in the man Christ Jesus who said “greater works shall you do that the Father may be glorified”. So we do. Why? Because “as He is… so are we in this world”. And if we are mature, we are word. And our words become real. This is to our glory, to His glory. A reciprocating glory that we mutually participate in now. Like Paul says in 2 Thes, That “we are called by the gospel for obtaining the glory of Jesus Christ”. It is not gifted to us at a 2nd coming but to the faithful “through the gospel”. That is why “Christ is seated waiting for His enemies to become His foot stool”. Because the battle is ours. He is finished, He gave us the tools, now we strive to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of me”. Which is??? To be like Him, word. “In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the Word was God”. In this way we keep His Word is to keep Him to fulfill this verse… If you keep My commandments you shall ask what you want and it shall be done for you. Ask anything in My name and the Father will do it.
But the 2nd coming jesus is not a winner yet because he must still fight for planet earth and rapture you? This is another saving act from a different savior than the Savior I know who already gave me the victory and we just showed you how to do it. You take the words passed onto you through the gospel and add faith and patience to it. “But we have seen and testify that God has sent His Son as savior of the world”.
   This is why “you shall be judged by every word you say”. This is usually seen as a future event of judgement at a specific point in time. But it is because we are made in the image of God that even as Isaiah spoke that;
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
Isaiah understood that to the degree that you speak forth falsehood, it stifles your ability to speak forth things into being like a perfect man. This is being a new creation. This is our need to cooperate in our sanctification. “Come out from among them and I will receive you” Said the Father, “I will b to you a Father and you shall be My children” so that we “Cleanse ourselves from all filthyness of flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
 “For it is out of the heart (by words) that a man speaks that defiles himself” that we need to worry about. For us to speak a thing to be is directly related to how clean our heart is. This is why “to the pure all things are pure” for that is what they speak. But to those who are defiled? They see gloominess and darkness because that is their world.  and also the mirroring of creation back to them and it is not so much the sins of murder and adultery and such of the carnal nature that keeps you from doing this as much as it is lying speaking slandering murmuring Ford is not what goes in a man that the files a man but it’s what comes out of a man that defines a man and this is what that scripture means if we honor God in truth in all that we do regardless of how it may or may not affect or benefit us that we do not like the truth in our favor for personal gain to this one the person will be gifted with the Word of God so dealing with truth and honesty with our neighbors in our co workers is key as Paul said I reach out to lay hold of white Christ laid hold of me and to the degree that you have a so to put on truth is to put on another attribute of Jesus Christ in this one is.
So then my sojourn-ship here is my internship in doing the works of my Father. Like Jesus did so that it is true for me that “as He is, so are we in the world”. Like when Jesus said to the religious leaders of that day “I do the deeds of My Father, you do the deeds of your father the devil”. Showing why sin is unbeleif even as it says of the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin because they do not beleive in Me ” said the Lord. So too for us. Our actions motivated by fear and doubt yeild unrighteousness because “fear involves torment. He who fears has not been perfected in Love”.
