Unless I am “still” the way He intended, how will I know? Still and know go together. You cannot have the one without the other, not in the degree He intends for us. This stillness is an essential condition in the absence of any determination from my part for anything; the absence of self-awareness or self-preservation -- no agenda of my own, completely free from my ends. It is in this stillness we truly hear.

In this devotional teaching I talk about the disposition of the 144,000 being without guile, as well as the types and shadows of them in Scripture. Jesus is the Patterned Son, our Forerunner. He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me”. Not all of us have the same crosses to bear. It comes in different forms. It behooves us to discern between spiritual attacks and our crosses to bear. However, what we need to grasp and contemplate is how we bear our cross. Are we without guile? When our buttons are pushed, do we have to defend ourselves? Are we running with the crowd or have we seen the gift that silence truly is? Are we priestly in our lives no matter what we do? Because when Jesus as the spotless Lamb of God laid on the altar, He laid His life down willingly, not trying to save face or defend Himself. His sacrifice was priestly. Our love for Him is not measured by how we show Him affection but by how we love one another. “Peter, loveth thou Me, then feed My sheep”. If we cannot love our friends, how shall we love our enemies, those who have every intention of causing us suffering and even death? We cannot feign this love when it comes to our enemies. Only Christ in us can love like this. Our tendency is to see things through our own particular filters, especially when we know them to be doctrinally true. And, of course, truth is always to be upheld. However, He the seeing that He wants to bring us into is not seeing the truth about Him, but The Truth - I AM. It is in the secret place where we not only see Him as He truly is but also as we are. Here we learn not only about the Truth but learn to know Him who is the Truth. In this devotional teaching I speak about a vision that I saw of me being a child and what Father said to me regarding being as a child within His Kingdom. They are unpretentious and they trust fully. Unto them belong the Kingdom of God.
