ASSAILED ON ALL SIDES, YET LOSING OURSELVES TO BE FOUND IN HIM!!! JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING WORD!!! by Catherine Heim

      Truly this is the day when He is calling out unto His own to come into His presence and to worship Him, to be intimate with Him, to KNOW Him.  What a day this has been, to discover the heights, and depths, widths and lengths of the great love He has for us as His children.  On one hand, we have been assailed
on all sides, yet on another His Grace has not only been sufficient, but all encompassing, as He has embraced us with His Spirit, comforted us, and yet instilled in us a desire to "KNOW Him in the power of His Resurrection, in the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death."
        Wow, what a mystery this has been as we have all taken this journey, separately, and yet together as One in Him.  In His Spirit,in His Truth, in His Word, His Living Word, as the written Word has become alive, become wine, and we "become" poured out drink offerings in His Name!!! 
        I know that each one of us, in His body have unbelievable stories of sorrow that each has had to endure, some of our own making, and others of things unforeseen, out of our control, that have brought us to this place, this season, this time in Him, that we might comfort one another with the "Blessed Hope", the
"Enduring Hope", that has given us "wings of eagles" to ride above the circumstances.  "Living Words of Encouragement", from the Spirit of Truth, flowing out of that "River" that flows from the very throne of our "Abba Father", in and unto His Own.
        I believe the "times we are in", are truly shaking anything that is not of Him, not of His Spirit, not of His Mind, the "Mind of Christ", and we are all feeling the heaviness of the weight of the shakings in our innermost beings.  I'm sure we are all extremely tired at this time, filled with a tremendous exhaustion at what is taking place in us, and around us in the world.  These are "times" when to "STAND" in the evil day,  to consider and understand the cost, and to "run into the Secret Place, the Place of Refuge, the Place of Hope, the Place of Purpose, the Place centered in the Person of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who dwells within
 our very midst, "Christ in us, the Hope of Glory"!!!  Sweet mystery revealed.
           "Donning" or "Putting on the Mind of Christ" daily, His WORD, His Wisdom, His Ways, His all pervasive Will, is true worship in Spirit and Truth!!!  Running the race that is set before us, throwing off all weights that would so easily beset us, counting the cost, enduring to the end, and yet all the while, singing the "New Song"!  The Song of Salvation!  The Song of  Deliverance!  The Song of Hope!  The Sweet Song of Victory, in our everyday lives, moment by moment, living to the full expression of who He is IN us, and who we are IN Him!!!  For is it not, "In Him we live and move and have our being"!!!
        Each and every day we are in a "New Day, New Moment, New Season, to declare the wonders of His Glory"!!!  The wonders of His Majesty! The wonders of His Glorious Name, "JESUS CHRIST, son of the Living God".  In this day, even in these "times" we can shout out the "Praises" of Him, who set us free from lives darkened by the soul of carnal man, and has translated us out of the "Kingdom of Darkness", into the "Kingdom of His Dear SON", and as we realize we are "One in Him, One in the Father, One in Spirit", we shall "rise up to the full measure of a MAN", fully matured in the Wisdom of the Noonday SON, JESUS CHRIST!!!  King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the Lily of our valleys', the Rose of our desert places, the Bright and Morning Star, the Alpha and Omega!!!! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!
        "Glory to Glory", "Understanding to Understanding", in the 
 Wisdom of the Father, the Mind of Christ, the WORD OF GOD, the LIVING WORD!!!
        I love each and everyone of you, for we are all one in Him, and one in His Spirit, one in the sufferings and afflictions, that will reveal an eternal weight of "Glory", in us, and we shall "Know" Him as He is, for we shall be "Likened unto Him."                                  

In His Most Precious and Glorious Name, Catherine Heim
