Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Nov 5, 2025 Let your whole life become an altar where communion with God replaces empty ritual. To hear Him is to obey Him—hearing without obedience is not hearing at all. Obedience is not a list of tasks but a posture of heart that removes whatever stands between you and His voice. When you fix your attention on God, you deny every other voice that competes for your loyalty, and that denial is itself the sacrifice that pleases Him. Every act of obedience burns away fragments of the old self—doubt, fear, lust, self-pity, unbelief—and makes room for the living Word to dwell within. You are both the temple and the offering, and the altar is your inner life. When resistance rises, when familiar sins or mental vultures return to feed on what has died, do not despair; you are simply witnessing the warfare that comes when light invades darkness. Remain steadfast in repentance. Repentance is not shame—it is motion: turning from lifeless works to a living faith that draws you deeper into God. Faith toward God means trusting His word until it becomes more real than your circumstances. As you dwell there, the word baptizes you—immerses you—until it becomes your nature. Then the Spirit rests on you like a hand, empowering resurrection in places you once thought dead. Consecrate your body, mind, and time as instruments of communion. Fast from noise, from vain entertainment, from the narratives that feed unbelief. Speak God’s truth out loud; pray in the Spirit until your heart grows still and the inner static fades. Build rhythms of fellowship and accountability so that darkness finds no secrecy in you. The life of faith is not instant deliverance but consistent yielding—each yielding forming a covenant between your will and God’s. Stretch prayer, long meditation, and honest worship fracture the double-mindedness that keeps the old world alive within. Understand that every season of pressure is an invitation to transformation. When you persevere through contradiction and hold to what God has said, the likeness of Christ—Michael, the image of God—emerges within you. In that likeness, your perception changes; judgment becomes sight through His eyes. Eternal judgment is not condemnation but illumination—where the Word in you discerns all things. This is how the Kingdom is born in a person: through hearing that becomes doing, sacrifice that becomes communion, faith that becomes sight, and obedience that becomes love. Remain there until your heart and His word are one voice—and your life itself becomes the revelation of His will. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom
