The Reality of Seeking Jesus !


"The Reality of Seeking Jesus!"
by Undrai & Bridget Fizer www.fizer.org

Seeking Jesus, for any reason other than being Transformed by Him, will leave you disappointed, miserable, sorrowful, and frustrated. Jesus transforms. He doesn't "conform" to the miseries that we may have allowed to define us. He "knows" where we are, and He loves us "where we are." But He does not impart power to us in order to "leave us where we are." He is a Spirit of Transformation and Movement.

Many people came to Jesus in order for their lives to experience change "on their terms, on their conditions, and their reasonings." They provided the plans, but they needed Him to provide the "means!" Jesus does not "supply our need" to remain in our own self-devised plan. He frustrates us "when He defines the relationship by His Own Intent!"

Jesus reveals His perfect love towards us, not by the blessings and favor that He grants to us, but by the passion He seeks to Transform us into His very Nature. He loves us by way of Transforming us, and not by lavishing us with "gifts" that obligate us to "reward Him" by way of a false seeking of Him.

It's impossible to walk with Jesus "and not become what He is." Just ask the disciples that left Him "after He required them to eat His flesh and drink His blood!" (John 6) .You cannot walk with the Master "and not become a master." You cannot walk with Significant faith "and desire for life to remain common!" It cannot be done, not with Jesus anyway.

When you walk with God, you become more than a better Christian. You awaken the sonship reality within you. Every "christian" cannot create. Every "christian" isn't fearless, doubtless, or masterful. But sons become what their Father is. You can only mature into the Stature of the One who created you. You cannot walk with God and become a "great anything" if your Father "isn't that thing already!" You can't become "what He never became!" You can only become mature "in the dimension that Jesus lives in already!" We can only mature into that thing "that Jesus presently functions from." If we have become "what He is not," then our maturity is based on the irrelevant "instead of the Divine!"

Many desire to seek Jesus in order to remain in their present state. They simply desire the ability to "manage" their present reality. But Jesus isn't into providing power to manage misery and unreconciled dimensions of life. He gives power to "the branches" in order for them to become the fullness of the Tree!

The rich young ruler would not take advantage of the Transforming power of Jesus. Therefore, he became more of the misery "that prompted him to find Jesus in the first place!" When you deny yourself the Transforming Power of Jesus, you become a son of the misery instead of "sons of the Master!" You possess a sonship relationship right now, with either Mastery, Misery, or Misfortune.

You are a son of something, and your search will define what that something is...
