ISAIAH 55:12 - "ALL THE ABOVE"

"You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart." (2 Corinthians 3:2 & 3) What we are really talking about here is Real Fullness of Joy, and a Peace that Surpasses All Understanding. Do you really know what that means? Let me ask you this: Do you really experience that kind of Joy and Peace in your life? You might say, 'Do you?'; to which I can honestly say, "Yes; I have and I do". But what we are talking about here is something that must be walked in, because I can also say, 'I want, and need more'; but we should not have want for anything; because fullness, really means that we are full; which means we don't want more; Right? However, when I do want more, what must I do? What provides me and you with more Joy and a deeper Peace? Everything that God requires of us is so simple; really it is. He has done all the work; He has provided the Way; He proved His Love towards us, and did all that was required to give us Life: Life Abundantly; which means Rich with Joy and Peace beyond measure; which means that it is beyond all that we will ever need, or even ask for. What then does this mean for my desire for more? It must mean that the things that I desire, are really already there; and that they have been all along; all I needed to do was to walk them out! Really! That is all there is to it! Okay; just think about this for a moment: Think about what God has done for us; all that He went through to provide a way for us; and all that He has established to prepare a place for us; a place which we will be able to be with Him, for all eternity. There is really nothing else that we need: So why would this issue be any other way? Do you want more Joy? Do you really want more Peace? Then really all we need to do is to experience more of Jesus!!! That is really all there is to it; experience Jesus more, and we have more Joy; walk out Jesus more, and we know more Peace. Don't even begin to ask me how, because I really don't want to have to start this whole study over. But I will briefly remind myself and you, that it has to do with Living Water. Remember, in order for water to be living, it must flow; water that does not flow, becomes stagnate and dead; like the Dead Sea. For water to be living it must have movement; and for us to fully experience The Living Water within our lives, that Living Water must flow into us, and out of us. The more it flows, the more Joy and Peace we will experience! It is there already, and has been all along; we just need to walk it out. And how do we do that? Really? I know that you did not ask that; but just in case you did: SHARE JESUS!!! Okay? Do you get that? Let me ask you this: Where does your Joy and Peace come from? It comes from Knowing Jesus, and because we Know Jesus, He provides this Joy and this Peace to us through the Holy Spirit. So, if we want to experience more of what the Spirit is providing us, then we must experience more of the Holy Spirit; and what does the Holy Spirit do? The Holy Spirit declares Jesus; that means for us to experience more of what the Holy Spirit does, then we must also declare Jesus; and what is the Living Water? It is Jesus!!! We can know, and have all the Joy and Peace which is available for us; which is really more than we could ever want or need; by just taking every opportunity that God allows, to share Jesus with whoever will listen; and to live out Jesus in our lives. We really can not forget this vital part: "People don't care what you say, until they know that you care"; so we must really settle this issue within our hearts, and ask God to forgive us of judging others; and ask Him to help us to love others more than we love ourselves. If we do not get that fixed, than really we are just a noisy instrument... "Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received Mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but, by manifestation of Truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" (2 Corinthians 4:1-3)
