Purpose And Grace In Christ Before There Was Time

Word of the Day
Beloved, no matter what you do or where you go…no matter what you experience or don’t experience there is one thing for sure and certain, My eternal, truthful heart. I am Truth and have always been Truth. Therefore, whatever I tell you is true and without any possibility of deception or malfeasance. I cannot go against My own nature, law or person. To do so would render Me unlawful, graceless, loveless, unjust, unkind, and powerless over the ravages of time and circumstance…would render Me powerless to restore and bring healing (Isaiah 58:8).

Every Word I have given or spoken was already in Me before the ages of time. Every plan and purpose I have for you was already in My being waiting to be deposited in You when you exchanged certain eternal death for eternal life and salvation. At that very moment, all that I am was given to you. The thoughts of My heart for every step of your life and time were placed in you waiting to be discovered in the midst of communion and intimacy. All the purposes, thoughts and intents of My heart now belong to you and are open to discovery (1 Corinthians 2:16).

Beloved, there is no substitute for time with Me if you want to affect the natural time you live in and permeate it with eternal life of the positive nature. I spent time with My father in order to release His life and thereby affect the environment around Me. When a blind man was healed…when a demon possessed man was delivered…when a leper was healed…when a tax collector was set free or when an adulterer was forgiven, the ravages of time were reversed. Eternal reality invaded the natural realm and things changed. Simply put, I spent time, I listened, I obeyed His instruction and did accordingly no matter how unnatural to the world it seemed. As a result, lives were redeemed. It is no different now.

Therefore know this, I am here today to promise you…declare to you and proclaim with a loud but still calm voice, “I have called you from the ages past before there was even one second of time to be a transformer of the ravages of time in the lives of people.”

Beloved, I have consecrated you…and called you not based on any works of your own (Ephesians 2:8-9). I have chosen you regardless of how much sand has sifted through your hands. I have called you no matter how much sand seems to have passed through your hour glass into promises unfulfilled. I have called you not according to your own goodness or merit but according to My grace which I lavished on you before you ever knew Me (Ephesians 2:8-9). And if this is not enough, I died for you to seal you in Me for all time and to redeem you for all time from the ravages of time. I have called you to be willing to display the goodness of God…to see the manifest works of the evil one destroyed by daring to step into the fray and speak My Word and see the effects of time in your own life and the lives of others.

When this happens, like a row of dominoes falling, so shall the blessings fall down through the generations…down through natural time to release the eternal purpose of My heart from ages past. Redeem the time as I show you, for the days are evil and many are waiting for you to speak into their lives and see evil undone. To do so is as it should be. I have chosen you to display My glory in this evil but redeemable day…
[Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began (Titus 1:2 Amplified)

[For it is He] Who delivered and saved us and called us with a calling in itself holy and leading to holiness [to a life of consecration, avocation of holiness]; [He did it] not because of anything of merit that we have done, but because of and to further His own purpose and grace (unmerited favor) which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago] (2 Timothy 1:9 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, the experiences, struggles and circumstances of life have no bearing on Your goodness. Bad things in life do not determine Your goodness. Plain and simple, You are good and truthful at all times regardless. I cannot look at things around me as a barometer of who You are. To do so would limit You to a level of being subject to the actions of men accomplished in finite time. There is no deception in Your heart for You are Truth. All the Words You have ever spoken have been in Your heart before all time and now are being revealed through the present age and the ages to come. Not one will fall to the ground nor will they come back to you without accomplishing the purpose for which they were sent.

Lord, I declare myself to be a keeper of every Word You have given to me and none will fall into uninhabited wilderness places. Every Word falls into the good soil of my heart to bring forth eternal purposes in supernatural ways.

I declare the desires of the Lord for my life shall unfold step by step as His light fills my path and gives me direction. The thoughts of the Lord’s heart for me are available and accessible at all times and I am one who puts my ear to His heart that I might know them. Every Word proceeding from Him to me has the power to transform my life and heart if I choose to embrace each one with faith. The ravages of time in my own life, the lives of those I love and those sent to me can and will be changed by the release of an eternal redemptive Word from the Lord. As a result generations can and will be transformed.

The Lord has consecrated me and set me apart for His good pleasure, not according to my works but according to the redemptive work of the Cross. Therefore, no matter how much time has sifted through my hands, the grace, mercy and call of God on my life will have its way as I surrender my heart. One by one the dominos will fall and I will obtain the prize of my high calling in Christ Jesus. As a result, blessings will flow down through the ages in many profitable and redeeming ways. Today and every day after the Lord has called me to speak no evil, hear no evil and see no evil. He has called me to speak the Word, hear the Word and see the Word come to pass. I am chosen and I will walk with eternal perspective displaying the glory of the Lord for ages to come. Amen.

Reflect and Journal

  1. How have you compared the situations and struggles of your life to determine or validate the goodness of God? In other words, have you looked at what you experience as a barometer to establish God’s goodness or lack thereof?
  2. Ponder the beauty of God holding a heart full of gifts, plans and purposes in His hand waiting to deposit them at the moment of your new birth in Him. Imagine Him doing this in ages past before His heart ever gave way to speak into existence the worlds and all the beauty thereof. Every step and thought of goodness for your life was already planned out and waiting to be delivered. How can the ponderings of your heart on these thoughts make you more open to discovery… make the possibility of discovering amazing things a guarantee?
  3. Describe in your own words how what you say, do and release has the ability to move beyond the bounds of time and create eternal blessings that flow on for generations (Deuteronomy 29:29).
  4. Ponder being called by God not based on any works of your own…not based on goodness, deeds, obligation, or anything else other than grace through faith. How does this free you to be all He has put in your heart?
  5. How does hearing what the Father says and doing it set you free from the law of religion?
  6. Contemplate how hearing and doing what the Fathers says can push one domino over, thereby, starting a whole chain of events which can and will release eternal blessings for generations to come…for ages to come.
