COME SIT WITH ME !

COME SIT WITH ME ! We are seated there with Him. It's astounding, but true. God has not only quickened us together with Jesus, He has raised us up and made us sit together in heavenly places with Him ! No one sits in the presence of Almighty God except His family. Angels don't come into the throne room and sit down. They're not allowed to sit, but we are. We have been invited By The Lord Himself to "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." The Scripture didn't say, "come crying, or begging." It says come boldly that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." We have been given the scriptural right, not just to come before that throne but to sit down on it with Him. We are the overcomers about whom Jesus said, "To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." (Revelation 3:21). Overcome what ? Overcome Satan and the world system as well as the flesh ! Why, do so many believers Cry and complain on the throne room floor instead ? Why do they approach God like beggars and plead for help, or struggle in their own strength to work things out ? It's because the idea of sitting down and trusting God to take care of them seems presumptuous and irresponsible. In fact many do not even know what the Bible has to say about any thing that they are dealing with. "I can't just ignore this mess," they say. "It would be asking too much to expect God to take care of everything for me. Surely, God expects me to do something ! They don't realize that what God expects us to do is sit down and enter His rest, being fully persuaded that what he says in his most Holy Word, He is also able to perform it., and He is grieved when we don't do The word of God. The book of Hebrews makes that very clear. It says: "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works 40 years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, they do always err in their hearts; and they have not known my ways. So I swear in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest (Hebrews 3:7 through 11).
