Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. This is what we focused on in the last blog. If you feel oppressed or enslaved,
the Spirit is not where you are, nor is He the source of your slavery. Yet ironically, by being his “slave,” you
will be the most free!
The second way I mentioned in the last blog for experiencing
and manifesting God’s presence is establishing and maintaining order. It is written, “God is not the author of
disorder, but of peace.” And Jesus said
that peacemakers would be called the children of God. So order is from God, and thus order welcomes
God’s presence into our lives. How so?
The state of perfect peace, which comes about by perfect
order, is the state of heaven, or God’s kingdom. In heaven God’s will is the sole will, the
only will. His kingdom is sought first
and foremost. This is the essence of
peace and order: Perfect agreement with
God’s will. When we experience this rare
state of things, we feel like we’re in heaven.
Whether listening to a symphony orchestra, watching a winning team
flawlessly unified in achieving victory, or a simple family gathering at the
dinner table where each family member is heard and valued without interruption,
unity is heavenly—it is the beauty of eternity.
