To have the right paradigm about Christian life, about your relationship with God about eternity is like having a map of the most desirable treasure.
This is the map printed from God's viewpoint .
Map for hidden treasure is simultaneously very elementary and, somehow shrouded in secrets. It leads us along a narrow road. Walking we find a number of secret instructions for the next point. At the first location specified to dig, we find a box with three important instructions. All three are equally important, if we neglect one, we will be out of the way, or we'll stop moving. The guidelines are:
- Read the Word of the Holy Spirit ;
- Pray that the Holy Spirit ;
- Worship of God the Holy Spirit.
Then these guidelines sooner or later (depending on our obedience to follow them diligently ) lead us to a Cross. On The Cross is SOMEONE we know, but we have never seen , we were never fully aware of what exactly He did for us and what it actually means. When the Holy Spirit reveals it to us, we find ourselves on the cross with Him. By our desire... as if we want to relieve his suffering, to take some of His pain ...
To lay down our lives for Him ...
We want it , we really want it with all our beings ...
Two eyes like a flame of fire pierce our soul, examine our reins, test our intentions and ... when we pass the test, we fall into a cold and dark grave... On the cross are only our sins left hanging and we slip out off them, like from dirty ragged clothes ...
Grave proved to be extremely quiet and peaceful place. None of whirlwinds and storms that rage can hurt us. Nobody can hurt us - we are already dead ...
Everything is so simple, plain, clear - no dilemmas, no struggle, no effort ...
There is only light - bright as thousand suns. We're not in the grave, we are beyond the cross. Again the narrow road, back to the place where we have to dig again, we find a box with three important guidelines. All three are equally important, if we neglect one we will be out of the way, or we'll stop moving. The guidelines are:
- Read the Word of the Holy Spirit ;
- Pray that the Holy Spirit ;
- Worship of God the Holy Spirit.
Then these guidelines sooner or later (depending on our obedience to follow them diligently ) lead us to a cross , but this time , it is our cross. The reference is to raise it and follow the Master. When we follow Him, we will not need to rack our brains about solving problems. Walking with Him is an incredible adventure. More interesting and exciting than searching for hidden treasure, because the treasure already found us and wants to take us through forests, valleys, mountains, dark places, deserts, oases, during testing, battles, wars, over flat fields, through turbulent and quiet waters, and leads to an exquisite palace, where we will meet our wonderful, beloved Prince, with whom we want to live forever. But not, as in the fairy tales, but really ...
