The life of faith isn’t about doing a little bit better (or even a lot better). It’s not about continuity at all. It’s about the end of the old and the beginning of the new. It’s about which world you’ll inhabit (or which will inhabit you) from this moment on.
Is it one where you need to work your way in? Is it one where you and everyone/thing else are locked in opposition? And even where God opposes you? Is it a grind or a hustle where your resentment of those who haven’t worked as hard as you have grows deeper? Is it a world where you need to struggle and strive and earn your accomplishments?
Or…
Is it a world where you ARE God’s accomplished? Right now. Is it one where you realize that, from the very start, the struggle for Ultimate worth is and has been completed? And instead of having to prove yourself, you can just move freely in your fully accomplished state and show off all the different expressions of fullness that God has made you out to be in this moment? And then this one? And then this?
In the eyes of God, you have nothing to accomplish
because you are God’s accomplished.
Is it more of a ladder or a slide?
What makes more sense? To continue attempting the climb that endless others have tried and failed to accomplish?
Or to leave behind the old
and trustfall into a new albeit eternal way,
a way in which you become
more and more of the accomplished
which you already are
and bring the new into fuller expression?
"In the eyes of God, you have nothing to accomplish because you are God’s accomplished."
Boy Jonas, this was a direct hit to my Soul. As your words landed, I could feel my heart begin to take flight.
Today I am at peace, remembering I am already accomplished.
Not because of what I do, but because of who and who's I am.
Thank you for this powerful reminder, brother. Love you girl dad.
I love the images in this message, starting with the photo at the top of the beautiful countryside.
Followed by word pictures...
"A world where you need to struggle and strive and earn your accomplishments?"
"A world where you ARE God’s accomplished!"
"In the eyes of God, you have nothing to accomplish, because you are God’s accomplished."
"You can just move freely in your fully accomplished state and show off all the different expressions of fullness that God has made you out to be in this moment? And then this one? And then this?". 😍
And lastly the two I really loved.
"Is it more of a ladder or a slide?" 🤗
It doesn't always feel like a slide, but in the spiritual, if You live in faith & full trust Him, it is a slide!
"Leave behind the old and trustfall into a new albeit eternal way." 🥰
I love this image of a trustfall, with Big daddy Yahweh always ready to catch me in His arms. ❤️🔥🙌❤️
Thank you very much Pastor Jonas.
