“You are my son, today I have begotten you. Ask it of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, and, as your possession, the ends of the earth. With an iron rod you will shepherd them, like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”
“To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the end, I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod - And to him I will give the morning star. ”
“ If we endure, we will rule with Him “
It is not just doing God’s Will in the ordinary sense, it is living in it, something we can only desire, and only God can give.
Allowing God’s Will to take over fully, seems strange to us, but it was the state of man in Eden, it is what we are created for.
The Iron Rod is The Divine Will, it transforms the earth.
The effects, riches, happiness and joys of living in The Divine Will is Heaven coming to Earth.
When Jesus does His work through us, that work has Eternal light and transforming effects, it has the glow of Eden on it.
Even the mundane jobs He does, there is something very different about them. They have His imprint on them. I know I did not do it, it is Jesus who did it.
You see it briefly like Jesus is inspecting His own work, then you get directed to the next task. He always seems to stop to see if everything is good. That’s when you get a glimpse of His perfection.
There is a peace and order as this happens that is not of human volition. Living in His Will and by His timing and direction, changes everything.
Be patient with yourself, don’t beat yourself up if you find yourself doing your own will again. Once you recognise it, stop and do handover again. It is enduring in constant returning to living in His Will that will bring about the permanent state.
Trust Jesus more and more, because you aren’t doing things or living by force of your own will anymore and it can sometimes feel very scary, but let go of your will, let Jesus fully takeover.
You need great desire, trust and courage but also the conviction that your human will is dangerous, the source of all the sin and suffering in your life.
You need to desire to be rid of your will as much as you desire His Will to Reign in you.
You will not lose your personality and character, but it will be absorbed into Jesus Character.
