“I want to talk to you of My IMMENSITY. The IMMENSITY of the Lord your God. Can you comprehend it? Can you ever reach the end of it? Could you ever go fully under it, or over it, or through it? Yet I call you to My Immensity. To live in it, to rejoice and jump and frolic in it. For My Immensity is to you great Freedom. If you can never get to the end of Me, how can you be afraid of running into My borders, My walls? You shall not bang your knee, your toe or your head against the end of Me. You are instead free to roam about Me, to explore the Lord your God in all of My many facets. Just as you think you see the end of one facet – one shining, sparkling part of Me – ah! There is another! And another and another! Such is the unending Glory of the Lord your God.

“Do you see Me in this way? As an amazing, trustworthy, Loving God to be explored and in whom to be delighted? Or do you see Me as a finder of fault, a God with a grimace against you and your ‘ineffectiveness?’ Do you have any idea how ENJOYABLE the Lord your God is? You might think it an odd question. So why do I ask? Because so many of My People see Me as an unenjoyable God. As a God who requires things of them greater than one can accomplish. As a God never pleased, never smiling. Never satisfied.

“For those of you who think this way – a question. Do you read My Word? Remember the Book I wrote, My Bible? Do you read the countless passages of My love and patience and kindness toward mankind? Do you even believe that I, the Great I AM, sent My Son to die for YOUR sins and redeem YOU? How could an impatient, unkind and overbearing God do such? Even in your own human rationality, this should not equate.

“When My Son was on earth, He said, “I come to give life more abundant.” Is your life and walk with Me right now abundant? Are you heavy laden, weary, worn and frazzled by life? Questioning My Love for you and perhaps even My existence? Are these the fruit of Life Abundant?

“And so I pose the question before you: what brought you to this? Did My Son lie? Is He not full of Truth and Life and Joy? Or have you failed to receive Him as such – and therefore opened the door to be overwhelmed by lies from your enemy? Know this – your enemy watches you and delights in tripping you up. Your enemy knows what I require of you. And when your enemy sees that you do not live within My requirements – he takes action. He says, “Aha! A disobedient, ungrateful soul. I can work with that.” And so he does.

“Your enemy is small and pitiful – and long ago defeated by My Son’s Blood. He is a wisp to you when you stand in your Faith. He is an overcomer of you when you turn aside from Faith and let him have his way with you. Think on this, oh rational one of the earth. On one side stands your God of unending Immensity. On the other grovels a pitiful, mewling spirit, thick in his defeat. Knowing his ultimate end before the Lord God. Is this really a choice? What are you thinking?

“I say – you are NOT thinking.

“I call you to live within My IMMENSITY. My Boundlessness and constant Joy. This is readily available to you. To all who give me their ALL. But this stands ever out of reach as long as you accept the ‘sustenance’ of your enemy. A ‘sustenance’ that provides no sustaining at all.

“So what do I do? you ask. Come to Me. That simple. Get on your knees before the Lord your God and tell Me that you WANT Me. That you DESIRE Me – above all and everything else in the earth. Seek Me. Pursue Me. Seek My Face. Ask Me to give you a hunger for Me – and I will do it. I will give you a hunger for eternity. A hunger that will set you roaming about the Lord your God in great Joy, exploring My IMMENSITY. And never finding My boundaries.

“Joy and unending Delight on one hand. Misery forever on the other. Not much of a choice, is it?

“CHOOSE WISELY.”

Notes:

Psalm 147:5: Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

Job 11:7-10: Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? They are high as the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol, what can you know? Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. If He passes by or shuts up, or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him?

Romans 11:33-34: Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

Psalm 145:3: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

Jeremiah 32:17: Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

Proverbs 2:6: For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Job 28:24-28: For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. When He imparted weight to the wind and meted out the waters by measure, when He set a limit for the rain and a course for the thunderbolt, then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. And to man He said, “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.”

Psalm 139:7-12: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night,” even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.

Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I John 4:9-10: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

I John 1:5: This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him, there is no darkness at all.

Lamentations 3:22-23: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Colossians 2:13-15: …He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

Hebrews 2:14-15: Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

I John 3:8: He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Psalm 16:11: You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Romans 15:13: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
