Imagine No Rules … Just Love

I’ve been spending a lot of time reading and praying since leaving home Saturday evening and it’s amazing how God reveals Himself and His desire for nothing more than pure, honest, open and deep relationship with us.  In every program (and I mean every program) I’ve seen and everything I’ve read (regardless of whether it is secular or spiritual) I am receiving God’s complete and total desire to just have me love Him.  Now more than ever though, I hear Him saying, “Not me, but my son.  I Am my Son and He is Me.” 

God is revealing to me that it’s not about the rules, the works or things we do (even in His name), the lost souls or the condition of the world.  I am to love Christ and to take my identity in Him alone.  I am to come to a place outside of my own identity and desires and give myself completely over to Christ.  Outside of this complete abandonment there is no pleasure God can take in us because the answer we give to “Barabus or Christ to be crucified,” is “I choose Barabus.”  When I release myself to Christ, I choose freedom for Christ to live through me.  My desires are no longer my own.  Not me, but Christ alive in me.

In every battle of David preparing Him for the battle with Goliath was David releasing His fear and His own desires to Christ to live and have victory through Him.  It was not David fighting, but the Conqueror of the Universe revealing Himself through this boy called David.

He came to us as a babe and grew among us.  His power was strong and evidence of who He was, “God with us.”  Some chose to walk away from their own identity and desires to become one with Christ.  Still, they hung on to their beliefs and expectations.  When Christ was gone from them it all came crashing down because of their beliefs and expectations still so firmly rooted within them.  It all came to realization at Pentecost where they were indwelled with the Holy Spirit and Christ took the place of their beliefs and expectations.  When Christ was gone from them it all came crashing down because of their beliefs and expectations still so firmly rooted within them.  It all came to realization at Pentecost where they were indwelled with the Holy Spirit and Christ took the place of their beliefs and expectations.  HE became their belief and HE was their expectation.

When we let go of all we perceive to be the truth and simply allow Christ to SHOW us the truth, we are fully available to Him.  Our relationship becomes more intimate and personal because we are then ONE with Him and He is in us as we are in Him.  This was His prayer.

Let us surrender ourselves, our ideas, our conceptions and beliefs to a life of oneness with Him, the God and Creator of the Universe.

Awakening in His love and Spirit,
