Creation part 4
We looked at the first time the word "Create" is used in the KJV. Now let's look at the last time. Interesting side note, that word is only used 8 times, and all of them in either Psalms or Isaiah. David crying out for God to create in him a clean heart and a right spirit... and the great prophet telling the people of what God has done and is going to do. Interesting. So, Isaiah 65:18, the last time the word is used. "But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy." Be glad and rejoice in that which the Creator created. Pretty simple stuff, if you ask me. Because the Creator creates... love. He creates OUT of love, because He creates out of Himself, and He IS love. You can't make something out of nothing. God made everything out of Himself. Out of love. From that point of view, it makes it easy to be glad and rejoice. That attitude of gratitude that comes from knowing that we have everything we need. I have no lack because my God has no lack. The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hands. OUR hands! God (love) created everything. And He gave us that same creative power. He expressed Himself (to us, and in us, and through us, and as us) through His love. That's how we ought to express ourselves. We create our own realities based on what we believe--either the Word of the Lord or the lie of the world. By either trying to get what we think we don't have (by trying to be someone we're not) or by simply receiving and releasing the gift we've been given. We create by letting what's inside come out. And that's why it's a joyful undertaking. God created Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. We aren't supposed to be sad all the time. We aren't supposed to struggle. This world isn't meant to just be survived. We were created to thrive. To have dominion. To enjoy the time we've been given. And that doesn't mean you don't work hard. Just the opposite. Rest is not inactivity, it is Holy Spirit directed activity. And the only thing the Holy Spirit ever has or ever will direct you to do... is love. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth that leads and guides us into all truth. The truth that God is love and He loves you. That is the Rock that all of creation is built upon. God is love. And He loves you. That's what God created for us--an abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love. That's His gift to us. And we experience that gift by giving it away. By sharing it. We create what God has created by being joyful. By letting God love us and loving Him back by loving each other. By receiving and releasing God's love. What you believe is inside you WILL come out. It has to. It's too big and too powerful not to. So you create the true reality (the Divine Order of things) that God has already created... by knowing and believing that His love is what is inside us. If it's in there... it will come out. It IS in there. Know it. Believe it. LET what's in there come out. Experience it. Enjoy it. Give it away. Share it. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Create the true reality that God has created for you (and in you, and through you, and as you)!
