Build Up Yourself

There will come a time in each of our lives that the Holy Spirit will put a desire for more out of life.  It is times like that the disciple realizes that they have outgrown friendships they have, workplaces they attend every day, conversations with those in passing, and more.  Every disciple begins to go on a search for greater creativity to brainstorm new ideas, obtain feedback from those in their lives what they would do in situations like these and more.  

It is common for disciples to do this.  It is easy for the disciple to begin to go on such searches and questioning to reach to others to change what is missing in their lives and only end up to have these tangible desires to change to be short lived.  Let me ask you, "Have you ever been in times and situations like this before?"  Here, Jude was living in a time when everything around him was changing, even the church began to live ungodly and nobody had anything nice to say.  Here, Jude said, "Build Up Yourself." 

Our destiny relies upon us.  We alone are responsible to build ourselves up.  Momma always said, "Nothing is come to you, you have to take responsibility."  I think that is wise.  Even in that saying, you still have to take responsibility to "Build Up Yourself" to do what you want to do, dream to do, desire to do, was born to do.  I mean, you do not have to remain where you are as it all depends on you.  

I recently spent time praying in tongues and found it so refreshing.  I found myself being drawn to set aside time in my day with the Word of God to pray in tongues.  As the day passed I went from being drawn to set aside time to pray in tongues to picture myself sitting down and praying in tongues.  As I found myself picturing myself several times doing this it dawned on me, "Just stop everything and do it."  I realize it was the Holy Spirit leading me to pray in tongues then leading me to set aside time to pray in tongues. As I was praying in tongues an hour went by and it dawned on me "I was sitting in a heavenly place counting the stars, naming them, and praying out of strategies by releasing the desires of my heart."  As I began to speak those desires out of my heart and into being from heavenly places I realized, "I was building myself up" by creating a better future than where I currently was. As I continued to release those desires of my heart to put them into being, I then released peace upon them and spoke light into each desire I spoke out.  It was exciting. 

"Build Up Yourself" by working on the foundation that you have already been given.  You have died with Jesus, risen with Jesus, seated with Jesus --and you have been made One with your heavenly Father. You are born of His rest and His faith.  Not only that you are born of the fullness of Gods Faith: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and you are One in their Rest. "Build Up Yourself" the structure has been given for you to create and expand the desires of your heart.  It is there when you have completely released what you have spoken you can sit back and say, "Peace to what I have now, and Peace to what is afar and yet to come.  The Lord will create what has been spoken and cause what you have spoken to come into view in the earth because you can now see it in your position of Rest with God."  

Build Up Yourself Part 2

If you are old enough to drive everyone has put their car in reverse in order to pull out of a parking place in order to go forward.  Even if you have not driven you have sat in a car while someone is driving and experienced this yourself.  That might seem like an odd illustration but hopefully this illustration will help explain this next thought.  

When we study the word yourself the root word is Auto.  I have always found that so mysteries.  To think that the Word of God uses the illustration of something this mobile, like a car, in everything we do.  For those of you who are dream symbol interpreters that is where we get the symbol of a car representing our personal ministry, or ministry we are involved in.  Understanding this thought is important because when we speak into being the desires of our heart that is when we are driving backward.  The Strong's Concordance gives the illustration of this word, "A backward baffling wind" in it's description. So, here is how this part works of "Building up yourself" in your most holy faith.  The reason you are walking backwards is because you taking from the end of what has already been created by God and pulling out from Him so you can see it and walk in it.  When you walk backward pulling from the foundation of what you have created you are extending your boundaries out of God--where you dwell, further than where you are in order to walk in what you have spoke into being. 

You see, to build up yourself means to expand and enlarge along with to grow. If you find yourself wanting more and the desire to go further it is because the Holy Spirit already sees all that you have been given in the riches of the inheritance in Jesus that the Father has given to you.  It is here the Holy Spirit wants you to walk in more than you can even imagine or think, by the process and need for you to "Build up yourselves."   A disciple works and operates opposite than the pattern and blueprints of the world.  In the world we operate by looking into the world, getting ideas from mentors and blueprints already established to build what is already built.  Yet, in the kingdom the Holy Spirit wants us to take from God's Rest: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and put out from the works of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit the desires of your heart in heavenly places by speaking them into being.  After you speak them into being put a stake on what you have spoken by sending Peace because Peace is your footstool for them to appear in the earth. 

The Prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 54:2,3,4  "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine inhabitance: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen they stakes. For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of your thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of they widowhood any more."
