Jesus Christ offered the ultimate
Travailing of the Soul. None can top
what He did.
So why would our Father desire
for us that are called by His Name and have become His Habitation to have to
travail also in our souls?
First, being birthed as a member
of His Son, and walking in the identity and as co-heir of His Son, and being
filled with God’s Holy Presence/Spirit – being filled with all the fullness of
Him (Ephesians 3:19, John 1:12)…. we have a responsibility to be Obedient to
our Father’s Desires… And PRODUCE after His Kind. (Genesis 1:28, 1 Cor 15)
So when the Father wants to
“birth” His Son, in character and fruit, or an idea, His will, and/or purpose
in and through us FOR THE PROFIT OF HIS BODY AND PEOPLE, then we should do as
Jesus also did….
Travail with Holy Spirit, in
obedience to the Lord for the situation.
In Isaiah 53:11 we see that Father God was satisfied with the Travail of
Jesus’ soul and was satisfied. So by His
knowledge of His works and Victory for us, we can by faith walk with Holy
Spirit and yield to Father’s instructions for the birthing of what He wants to
do now. Jesus’ travail was sufficient in
all areas for us. So now we are to
Intercede with Lord for today’s issues. He makes it easier for us. Have Faith In God. Ask and Receive. Give Thanks.
Listen and be Obedient to Him. But in the growing up into Christ Jesus, we find
that the working of our faith through trials the Lord puts before us, can be
trying. But He guarantees the Victory
and producing of His Life in and through us by His Holy Spirit. Jesus is our anchor and surety of Life and Liberty.
Travail: (in my dictionary) means to labor, to toil,
to suffer the pangs of childbirth. Jesus
birthed forth the New Generation *regeneration.
And made all things new.
Jesus talks of travail as the
“seed” being planted and producing out of the earth…. (John 16:21). Then in Galatians 4:19 Paul says “My little
children, of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in
you.” Again in the sense of the
experience the mother parent must go through within themselves to bring forth
the produce of the seed that is planted in them.
Now, take this to the next
level! …. YOUR Soul is that Mother, that God has
planted THE SEED (HIS WORD) to germinate within Your Soul and PRODUCE after
That SEED WHICH IS CHRIST JESUS.
Jesus said in John 15:4-5 “Abide
in me, and I in you…..I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.” So here He speaks as the One
IN your Soul as The Spirit that is all Righteousness and Holiness, to
impregnate your Soul with His SEED, Word, Spirit… to produce His presence IN
you and then Through you to this world. ! .
(So many scriptures to confirm this working)
Breaking forth through you is THE
SON OF GOD swallowing up your nature body, yet it is The Holy Spirit: the
Father & Son having produced themselves to, in and through you, having now
SWALLOWED UP YOUR MORTAL BODIES having RENEWED and TRANSFORMED your MIND (the
falling away of the chaff – that carnal mind). (2 Cor 5:5 1-5)
Oh how exciting is this birth. Don’t give up now, it is too late to turn
back now…. take a deep breath and
push!!!! Joy comes in the morning!
So, Travail is a meditation on
the Word that God has Planted in your Soul and Mind. Think on it. Meditate on it. SEEK the Lord In It Always!!!! Until His Nature is Revealed… (2 Peter 1:4;
Gal 4:19)
Acts 13:23 states “Of this man’s
seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour,
Jesus:” ‘this man’s seed’ is Abraham’s
seed that God used to bring forth the Promised Saviour for Israel and us
all. But listen to what the Lord is
saying here ----- That is and has been accomplished through Jesus Christ, yet
NOW we are become that BODY of the Lord… His Spiritual Body and now our natural
vessel is benefiting and reaping of the Spirit of the Lord and all is swallowed
up and clothed in Christ Jesus. Sanctified.
In and by the Spirit of the Lord
(1 Cor 15:44-47), we are become The Church, HIS BODY, the fullness of Him that
filleth all in all (Eph 1:22-23). God in
the flesh, returned to the earth, the visible image of the invisible God,
Heaven and Earth brought together in one who is The Lord and Savior, The Son of
God.
The Holy Spirit of the Father is
abiding in us and swallowing us up and manifesting His Nature in us and through
us. The Divine Power working in us to
transform us into His same image, the Divine Nature that is without sin: In
spirit and soul and body. That through
your soul He is PRODUCING that divine nature of the Son who is the firstfruit
of the Spirit that is without sin and death (2 Corinthians 5:1-5; 2 Cor 4:14).
Jesus Christ walked on the
earth as the second man, who rose from the grave and death in the glorified
body, which is His natural and spirit body that is without sin and
death. By the Holy Spirit, we partake of Jesus as our Lamb for the repentance
and forgiveness of sin, right? Right. And by the Holy Spirit we are beholding Jesus
in His Glory by every revelation given, and are changed and baptized into His
death and raised up in newness of life by the Glory of the Father, just as Jesus
was too. He is our Overcomer and our
example to follow Him and do the same, yet only by the Lord abiding in us and
the working in us by the Holy Spirit, and by having that Seed which is Christ
Jesus, God's Word in us, can this be possible. So by faith in God we walk on. Oh
Hallelujah !!!!! Lord is swallowing
up our mortality with His Life!
So allow the travailing to
continue in the Lord until the Lord’s Desire is fulfilled through you.!.
Producing after His seed, not according to the natural seed, but according to
the spiritual seed the WORD of GOD. God
PRODUCING His Son in and through you.
Amen.
