Can’t enter His rest by fear


Playing foosball today, 07/28/09, and was playing very well. Played basketball the other day and I almost couldn’t miss. I’ve noticed players like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady and the like who get to where they are at because of who they are really. Part of who they are I believe is an inherent and consuming willingness to win. The will to win does not think about loosing. It can only think about winning. Spiritually speaking, His hope is incapable of disappointment or being let down. The promises in Christ are always yes and amen. We abide in constant expectation of His righteousness becoming our righteousness reckoning to our account.

Hebrews 4 says to enter the Holy of Holies now with boldness and not fear. We have spiritual substance in us that is called “thoughts without fear.” Over time, as we spiritually grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ, this substance becomes more of who we really are in Christ. We grow into His nature and righteousness. We begin to think, know, live and speak what we know because of Who we know in us.

I believe this is part of moving in the fullness of the blessings of the gospel. This also seems related to faith unto knowing, Rom. 15:29. How could I move, dwell or live in His fullness if I don’t know? You’ve got to know. We can know by grace through revelation. The messenger needs to be sent to impart the revelation, Rom. 10:15.
