The Untaming

The Lord is always looking for His children to respond with
spontenaeity! Why? Our love was never meant to be a scripted
or pre-planned task but a spontaneous expression to Father.
The Untaming is an intimate expression of our love for Him
and His love for us.

Discovering
Destiny |
|
2
Peter 1:10
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your
call and election sure, for if you do these things you will
never stumble.
God
has wants us to be clear about our destiny and calling.
There needs to be something within us that will not settle
for less that what He has called us to. God planted the
seeds of destiny in our hearts before we were born. (Proverbs
4:23) How we grow and understand our destiny
is in the place of intimacy and communion with God. This
is where we will see destinies come alive to grow up and
out of our lives. This is where we will discover our destiny
determined before the foundation of the world.

Laying
Hold From Birth |
|
Genesis
25:26
Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of
Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob.
Jacob
was one who grasped at destiny from birth. From his mother’s
womb he was aggressive for the blessing of God on his
life grabbing for the heel of Esau. He did not have to
be taught this. It was in him from birth to be this way.
This desire for the blessing and inheritance of the Lord
continued in his life to the point where He persuaded
Esau to sell his birthright for nothing more than a bowl
of soup. (Genesis 25:33) In this we see
the difference in people. Esau was one who could be bought
for a price. Jacob was one who would sell all for the
inheritance of the Lord. Jacob knew what was valuable
in God’s sight and would do anything to get it.
Jacob was a seeker of God. (Psalm 24:6)
He pleased God with his persistence and attitude receiving
the blessing that was meant for another. Esau acquiesced
his authority and inheritance for a little more than nothing.
Because he so belittled the blessing of God he lost it
all!

His
Blessing For You |
|
Hebrews
11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is
a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Jacob
was determined to have the inheritance and blessing of
God. He had faith. He made the Hall of Faith in the Book
of Hebrews. He knew it was for him. Do you know that the
blessing of God is for you? Or do you think it is for
someone else? Yes, it is for all. But do you realize that
God is asking you if you believe it is for you? Everyone
who has been rubbed with the mud of religiosity and condemnation,
where intimacy with God has grown cold, has a hard time
receiving anything from God or believing that God would
do anything good for them. They believe they are last
on the Father's list. But the reality is that the Father
wants to place His robe upon us, His signet ring of authority
and have a banquet of celebration for our lives. See the
story of the prodigal son:
Luke 15:22-25
But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best
robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and
sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and
kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son
was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'
And they began to be merry.
The Father’s inheritance is for all the sons of
God. The older son represents one bound by the spirit
of religion. He represents one who boasts in works and
achievements but never finds true joy because of lack
of intimacy with the Father. The older son was jealous
and upset not realizing the inheritance was always for
him as well.
Luke
15:26-16:1
Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and
drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. So
he called one of the servants and asked what these things
meant. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and
because he has received him safe and sound, your father
has killed the fatted calf.' But he was angry and would
not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with
him. So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these
many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed
your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me
a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.
But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured
your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf
for him.' And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with
me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we
should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead
and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' "
We need to know that the blessings of God are for us individually
as His sons and daughters. (Genesis 28:14)
. Jacob was taught humility through process and through
encounter with with God. (Genesis 32:34) Faith
brought Jacob to the place of humility. Jesus in fulfilling
the Father’s will brought many sons into the Kingdom.
(Hebrews 2:10) Because of Jacob's insatiable
desire for God he opened the door for many others to come
to know Him. Because he was about following God and coveted
the treasures of heaven he triggered events in such a
way that an entire nation of people was born.

Staying
in His Presence |
|
We
all have dreams and God given desires. It is His desire
to see these fulfilled. But just like Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob and Joseph there is a process the Lord takes us
through to see destiny fulfilled. (Hebrews 11)
But it is worth it all and many will be blessed in the
process. Just as we position ourselves to receive in His
Presence so that we pour out upon others. Staying before
the Lord will transform us and usher us into our call
and destinies.
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror
the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the
same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit
of the Lord
It
is in the place of intimacy with Him that we discover
who we are and what He is calling us to. It is in this
place that we lay our lives down. All of our ideas and
agendas must be laid at His feet. In seeking Him and beholding
Him we become like Him. By
staying in the secret place with God we find our true
identity and destiny. Don’t compare yourself to
another. (2 Corinthians 10:12) His call
is unique and specifically catered to your life. As you
stay in His Presence you will find clarity of mind and
blessings that overflow into the lives of others.
In His Overflowing Love,
John
