Oh, I just got it – our calling (vocation) is to listen to His voice!!

(Delayed reaction)

If we do that one thing, it will lead us to the next step, whatever that is, at whatever time we are in.

There's no legalism in that – it's all relationship!!

Okay!!!  I just read this and think that todays journal fits.  (Our class is on the Holy and Self Existent lesson.)

From Exodus 26:33, Leviticus 16:2      

 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps and bring the ark of the Testimony into place within the veil; and the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Ex 26:33 (AMP)

 The Lord said to Moses, Tell Aaron your brother he must not come at all times into the Holy of Holies within the veil before the mercy seat upon the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat. Lev 16:2 (AMP)

Jaque, Aaron’s two sons presumed on Me and died because they offered unholy incense. 

Presume: To venture out without positive permission.  Arrogant.  To act from confident or arrogant opinions.

Arrogant: Giving one self an undue degree of importance.  Haughty, conceited.

Presumption: Supposition of the truth or real existence of something without direct or positive proof of the fact, but grounded on circumstantial or probable evidence which entitle it to belief.

Lord, when the law was a written "code" outside me,  I, like Hophni and Phinias presumed much upon you by offering strange incense—by trying to do enough good works to please you.  I was haughty and conceited, so much that I thought I "should be able to" please you with my efforts.  When I saw you were unappeasable I resented you that much more. You were as hard a stone to me.  You were a far away God and you showed yourself "contrary" to me.  Yes, I knew you as an angry and vengeful God and often dismissed you.

Yes dear one.  And this is how the law affects unbelievers.  Outside of you it is the language of wrath (to the children of wrath Eph. 3), which you are no longer.  But the law inside the hearts of My children becomes a language of unconditional love. Outside it is hard and unbending; inside it’s your love language.  You see Jaque, if the Sun shines on rows of garbage in an alley, the stench could be strong enough to drive you out of the alley, but shining on a field of jasmine, the fragrance could consume you with delight.  Same Sun but different conditions; well, I am the same God but I influence hearts according to the condition of those hearts.  Who or what has your heart?  Men’s hearts change, but I never change.  Jaque, the law will never pass away; it’s the description of My goodness.  Yet something has changed in you.  Let Me explain.  The law is a picture of Me—the essence of absolute Truth, and at new birth I relocated Myself in your heart.  You know Me now much differently, because I’ve made the law very personal and intimate to you. 

Whereas the law used to be your archenemy as it stood outside and told you what you needed to do to be accepted by Me, it is now the love language written on your heart.  You didn’t put it there; I did.  I worked the "will to do and to be" inside you when you surrendered your heart to Me.   That’s when I came to live within, no longer as a cold outward instruction but as unconditional love within.  (I do this in every new creation—they only need to BEHOLD it

Jaque, the law is organic to you now.  Here’s what I mean.  You don’t have to "try" to be Jaque Shank so you?  You don’t have to guess what you want for breakfast, do you?  You figure that out pretty easily because you know yourself.  (Jaque, when you know who you are you know what to do because you are "organic" to yourself  And you don’t ever have to "try" to please Me.  You know that I am pleased just being your life!  You can plan your day and accomplish what you want, because you are "personal" to Jaque.  Well, you and I are One.  You seek Me knowing I live within Jaque as Jaque in her Christ form.  You ask whatever you will, fully assured that I (Jaque in her Christ form) will answer you.  Once again; I am organic to you—I am your life.  It’s Jaque, yet NOT Jaque, but Christ living in Jaque as Jaque (Gal. 2:20)   Written on your heart you now enjoy interacting with Me (to life) in bold new ways don’t you? 

Yes Father, I love writing the vision of Christ fulfilled in me (Matthew 5:18) which is the law in its LOVE form or, the law written in its Christ as Jaque form.  Wow!  How cool is this??!!#$%^!@!

Abba, I understand the law shall never pass away, but I thank you (to infinity and beyond) that I am no longer under its CURSE.  I’m no longer an outsider looking in.    The law is no longer antiquated stone tablets but a living legend of love living in me AS me.  This is how I now know the law; inside my pulsating heart revealing my healthy, holy, healing, breathing-His-love-on-me-every-moment God!  And so I shall continue to write the vision of Christ in me and enjoy YOU to the max!
