Are you natural or a saint ? your reaction to the withdrawal of all other comfort will reveal who you are.

Bakary

Have you entered Christ's rest, have you gained Christ in his fullness....

I am not asking you to be critical, I am asking as I am a seeker of his rest and want Christ to be revealed in me...

You ask the question "Are you prepare to lose all this any day?"

This reminded of the day that I walked out of the church and prayed "Father I know what you said to me and I believe every word that you spoke to me, I don't know how you will do it but I believe it, but I am not going back to church" (This was in regard to my calling)

The next step I took the Holy Spirit spoke and said "You'll be just like Job"

At the time I didn't understand it, was I being punished, to be honest at the time I was a bit scared...

Now years on after the Spirit spoke these words to me, I am beginning to understand why it had to be that way, why I had to be like Job...

He is leading me to freedom from myself, he is leading me to victory over sin, he wants me to live a victorious life.

One day and I believe it to be soon I will testify Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

God bless you brother I understand what you are saying , when God gives us truth he brings us to practical experience from glory to glory. Yesterday I was tried beyond my natural ability but HIS keeping more is within this I possess and do not doubt I am in HIS rest brother.

Yes Sir, wonderful revelation.... I can concur with your post murrcolr.

One our appointed times, we all will have to wait until our change comes. the change that Christ seeks in us, I am going through something of that exp, not nearly as devastating as Job, but it feels like it from time to time.

It definitely is a time of pruning and removing, and i can say that this is the Lord's doing, he is and chooses to remove everything that is fleeting and cheap, so that he can replace it with eternity and understanding.
