If the world were to awaken to Neville’s degree of Consciousness, the ever-present Kingdom of God would be seen in all its glory and Christ Jesus’ finished work would become clearly visible to all.

Whatever circumstance that you may be going through, consider the work of the Lord. Everything around us is meant to work together for our good. Even if, from our limited perspective, we ask God, “How is this working towards my good?”

Life seems difficult because it is through the trials and tribulations that rare characteristics, as refined gold, can emerge from our innermost being. These characteristics are born from adversity, and are tools that we use further on down our journey of life. Are you experiencing a trial? As Graham Cooke says, “Consider it as an upgrade!”

We move from faith to faith, and glory to glory. Faith is always a now thing. However, the faith that sustains us now is constantly growing and expanding. The rate at which our faith is constantly growing and expanding is in direct proportion to the amount “needed” to meet whatever demand that arises. This is the nature of Grace. It comes at us in waves that is referred to in John 1:16 which says “Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.” From this understanding, we can “learn” to never fear. As David says “I have been young, and now I am old, but one thing has stayed true, I have never seen the righteous forsaken, or seen his seed begging for bread.”

So in this time of seeming uncertainty, take heart and DO NOT FEAR! We are crossing a threshold into new ways of understanding the God that resides in us. We cannot use the manna of yesterday to sustain us today. We must trust that whatever we need will arise as we stay in faith. The key is to not look outside of yourself, but look to Christ, in you, the hope of glory, which has taken up residence in your heart. We are in for quite a ride, but you have been well equipped for this race. Believe this, and it shall be so…….selah……….
