I trust that God will give you that privilege of travail that very few people have had. Paul had it. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of Paul travailing in birth. Look at his theological background. Look at the epistle to the Romans, look at his epistle to the Ephesians and yet with all that he is still craving that he may get near to the heart of God. "I could wish myself accursed... my own death." I don't think you have to die a martyr's death to be a martyr. You can be a living sacrifice, you can die to advantages, you can die to temptations, you can die to privileges, you can die to all those things that don't add to spiritual life, that don't add to spiritual vision, that don't add to spiritual understanding. When God works in me, He is so altogether different from the theological concept I once had... Don't live in the immediate. Remember, Moses saw Jesus in the distance. I see Jesus coming to rule on the Earth. Not to die, not to be pushed around, but He's coming to rule the Earth. The Word of God says at least some will reign with Him. Who? Who reigns with Him? The overcomers, overcoming temptation, overcoming the world, overcoming our own desires, being completely God controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
