A WORK OF CREATION. Isa. 43:1 Created of the Lord for His own purpose and goal. Isa. 45:8 The outpouring of the Spirit, raining down righteousness on the church. A time of the moving of the Spirit of the
Lord in cloud bursts of the latter rain. This is the manner in which He will
create His church in the end of the age. Holiness must be her watchword and
cry, holiness unto the Lord. The mighty flood waters will sweep away all
that is not of the Lord. The superfluous, the garbage, every unspiritual act
and practice must be swept aside until that which remains is correct and
proper before the Lord. Eph. 2:10 In creation the Lord saw the work of His
hands, that it was good. His creation was perfect. Now, WE are His
workmanship, created in Christ. His creation in the end of the age will be the
ultimate of perfection, for it is Christ. The works of the Lord will be manifest in her, as the very actions of God Himself.
MOLDED INTO HIS LIKENESS. Isa. 63:1 Shaped and formed according to His holy will. Gal. 4:19 Paul prayed for the Galatians that Christ, the Christ life, the Christ character and nature be molded and shaped within each and every one of them. The intent of the Lord has not changed. It is His desire that the life of Christ be the overwhelming factor of our lives. That means total devotion and commitment to His way and will. Rom. 8:29 The believer is predestined to be made into His image and likeness. The true church will completely conform to every intent and design that the Lord has for her. The Word and the Spirit of the Lord will change and alter our individual lives until we all bear His likeness and image. He will blend us together until we have the mind of Christ and think and act in perfect accord with Him.
FEAR NOT. Isa. 43:1 With the occurrence of recent events we have
seen a spirit of fear grip the hearts of multitudes. 1 Jn.4:18 Fear creates
stress. It imprisons the mind and spirit. There are a multitude of phobias
that afflict mankind, all of which are not of God, but of the evil one who
uses fear to torment the mind and spirit. Where the love of the Lord dwells
there is no fear. Love is victorious over fear. His perfect love and our confidence in that love, will eradicate fear. Perfect love is full and absolute
victory over the powers of darkness. Where fear is a factor in the Christians
life we need to measure our love for the Lord. Fear is a component of life in
these last days. The only answer is to completely enter in to the love of the
Lord and to love Him with all of our hearts. He said; FEAR NOT!
