My Best Gift
Marsha Deveaux Johnson,
Recently
as I communed with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in meditation on the word of
God, I said to Father God what I thought was the best gift that He had given
me. I said to Him that the best gift
that He had given me was the ability to hear Him speak to me with His word (Logos
and Rhema). I began hearing God’s voice
at a very early age in life. At the
time, I was not even conscious of the fact that it was His voice but as time
went on, I realized that the God of the universe was speaking to me. First He spoke through His “Logos” (written)
word (Bible) and then in my spirit with “Rhema” (divinely implanted truths)
words (John 10:27, My sheep know my voice…).
The
grace that God also gave to me was that He gifted me with penning (writing)
down the Logos and Rhema words He gives so that they may be a blessing to other
people. When He speaks so divinely and
poignantly I always have an incredible desire to “write it down and pass it on”
(Habakkuk 2:2, write the vision… that you may run with it).
Recently
I reviewed some words God gave me in 2007 and I now share these phenomenal
truths with you. I know your life will
be strengthened if not changed by His incredible words given to one of His
friends, Marsha Deveaux Johnson (“I no longer call you servants but friends”, John
15:15).

“The
best thing that happened to man was that He was created by God, made in His
image and likeness, and brought into eternity with Him” (Genesis 1:26).
In
eternity our lives are complete in Him (Jesus), (Colossians 2:10, Ye are
complete in Him…). In time we are
processing completeness as we daily make right choices. If we live each moment
in the presence of God (He is in time and eternity), our lives will ascend to
eternal faith. We sometimes try to live
life obsessing about future times. The truth is that each of us has a “moment
in time” every second of our lives. In a
sense, this is eternity because the next moment cannot be experienced unless
God gives it. Are you walking in His
image and likeness now? Do you love Him
wholeheartedly now? Do you love yourself
and others now? Are you making godly
decisions now? If your life is lived in
this “now” manner (favoring right choices now), then all of your life will
resonate God’s will for you. “

“You
favor your destiny by the choices you make today.”
“You
have inside of you (God’s will, plan, and purpose for your life) in this life all
that you will have in eternity. Allow
God to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). External God-given goals are reached because
of the status of the inner man. If He
lives inside of you, His life will be seen on the outside of you.”
“When
you fear, you are on the throne in your life and are limited to your ability. Fear is eliminated when you trust God and Him
alone for all of your life (2nd Timothy 1:7), God has not given
fear… “
“Do
not let the charm of earthly desires separate you from intimacy with Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. Lean in deeper to fellowship
and intimacy with the God-head in spite of what you have or don’t have. He is the Eternal Supplier, El Shaddai (More
than enough).”

“Searching
for God? He lives inside of you!”
“Your
interior sanctuary (spirit) is where God abides. Deny selfish desires and commune with God in
your inner sanctuary. Then watch your
life grow!”
“To
be lost in God, you must come out of yourself.
Die to self-will.”
“Take
God’s side against your selfish ways.
Let nothing in you oppose His plan, His purpose, and His delight in
you.”
“I
disband, derail, and deny every thought that denies the goodness of God.”

“Take
down your own tent (self-will), pull up your own stakes (selfish-ways), and
allow God to build His Kingdom in you.”

“I
will what You will. My will has become
Your will. They are now one in the
same.”
“Internal
prayer (spirit led) unites us with eternity.
Our prayers are not limited to earthly desires, but to eternal truths.”
“When
you love and surrender to God completely, you are abandoned to His will and His
glory. Never again take charge of
yourself.”
“The
eternal treasure (man’s spirit) is in a human vessel (2nd
Corinthians 4:7 ) at this time. The
vessel may decay, but the treasure will live throughout eternity.”
“Union with God demands instant obedience to
His will.”
“The
truth of God’s word must penetrate every aspect of our spirit, soul, and body.”
“Find
what God wants if He is first in your life.
Then do His bidding (John 5:30, I can do nothing of Myself…).”
“Be
filled and meditate on God’s word, prayer will follow. When truth has saturated your spirit soul,
and body, then true prayer will begin.”
