"Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people."
COLOSSIANS 1:24-26
God makes you over in the Spirit at your choosing. In this make over, God makes you whole in his eyes - his purpose for all his children is to be a light - to be a pure bright light in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This light is for the benefit of those in the dark - to be a beacon of hope, love and hope in the spirit of Christ Jesus.
The light that shines in you gets brighter and brighter the closer you walk in obedience with the Lord. His wish is for you to love him as you should love your heavenly father. He wants to raise you in the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
We are to be broken bread for Christ and poured out wine for his namesake. To be a light for God - to be used for only his purpose - God must break your human spirit such that you are obedient to his Holy Spirit. You cannot mind two masters. We are the bread to be broken for the molding purpose of the most high.
Wine is not created without first squeezing the grapes for juice. We are the grapes to be squeezed in obedience to the Word of God. Our Father in heaven desires us to be filled with a new wine - the wine of the spirit of Christ.
