Stature & Favor
Jesus grew in stature and favor first with God the Father and then received the favor of man. This was needed for Him to accomplish all that was set before him by the Father. There is a process that we must move in that brings us into maturity so that we can contain all that God wants to give us and do through us. When we circumvent the process it deprives our heavenly Father of teaching us and bringing us into His blessing in which we need to operate under His grace. We get out of order when we try and use our gifts, the structures of the church to operate where we haven’t quite grown into the vessel that can carry the fullness of Him that we need to live the abundant life.
Who is to grow in favor and stature with God and man? You, the beloved, are the children of His promises and the people of His inheritance. The Lord loves His processes because it requires us to be intimate with Him and gives Him a change to engage us on a level we never knew was even possible. We start off as infants receiving spiritual milk and we are to move on to solid food learning to live from heaven in the victories of Christ toward the earth. We develop fully into mature sons and daughters being prepared to rule and reign with Christ forever. We are joint heirs with Him by His plan. When you think of yourself as sheep, lay people, not spiritual, somehow lacking that God couldn’t raise you as a son or daughter you have displaced His plan for yours and given away your inheritance. Many man made systems have come into the body of Christ which has stunted our growth and brought about a spiritual deformity in us that God wants to heal. Many of the beloved are still moving in the same patterns as when they first met Him and are overwhelmed by their circumstances, the worries of life and are filled with anxiety and fear. The way we think about life and our circumstances as infants actually brings high levels of stress that we were never created to live in which is why we get sick and worn down and having little joy.
When we learn who Christ is and who He is for us in every circumstance that comes to us in this life and we overcome through His lordship we actually take on a new form which He has given us as His new creation in Him. His grace transforms us out of our old nature which is dead and brings us into our new nature in Christ which is alive forever and will never die. This is what it means to be more than a conquerer. We actually overcome all of our circumstances while having perfect peace, filled with joy, givers of life, representing the lovely One at all times and He makes us a pillar in His house and lavishes us with His love, its so incredible. The reason we see so little of this is because there are so few sons and daughters walking the earth that are going through the process of growing in favor and stature with God.
There is an invitation to grow up and leave the old things behind, there is always more to His kingdom there is no end to His goodness. His grace is looking to rest on those who want to become who they really are and leave the comfort of childhood and move into adulthood in Christ.
We meet to learn how to do these things and build one another up. We are going to have a wonderful time of outpouring and healing. Invite those who are sick, discouraged, worn out, joyless, tired, full of fear and anxiety for the Father will minster powerfully to those that believe on His son.
Above all else know that you are loved in extravagance in this life and the one to come, there is no end to the new you just more glory, beauty and expressions of joyful love throughout the ages.
