Cal on Utterances from the Desert

Thank you for sharing this. It confirms what the Lord has been teaching me. Paul puts it very simply. We must decrease, that HE may increase. All our self-trying to be pleasing to the Lord, is part of our ignorance to His Truth, as Paul taught. Heb_12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. The Holy Spirit's chastisements is too bring us Low, so that the Lord is lifted up within us. We just place our Trust in Him, and that is an on going learning process, because though we be truly Born again by the Power of the Holy Spirit, we learn step by step, why the Word states, "that our hearts are deceitfully wicked, and who can know it". The Sanctification process will reveal to us the depths of our fleshly hearts. He is faithful in bringing us to into His most Perfect will, so that "we maybe one as He and the Father are one." When I was granted understanding by the Holy Spirit, the depth of that Truth. I was at awe, and wept, because it truly means such a one on one Loving relationship with the One True Living God. That is why the word also states that without HIM, we can do NOTHING! I could say so much more, because the Beauty of His Holiness is Eternal..... The Lord bless you.... In His Love...
