Hebrews 3:1-2 – “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess, ² who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God’s house.”

I pray that today will overflow with God’s supernatural help and blessings for each of you.  I pray that new doors of opportunity will open, attitudes will change positively, and problems will be solved, turning mountains into molehills.   Victory is today’s destiny.  Believe it, embrace it, and step into it.

My heart exploded as I read, prayed, and meditated on the Word today!  It would be impossible to adequately convey what was deposited in my heart in a short devotional.   It would require hours of dialogue, which is not presently available.   I will attempt to follow the Holy Spirit and highlight what I heard, saw, and sensed.  

Today, as I began reading Hebrews 3, a repeat of a previous message gripped my heart. The writer (whom I believe to be Paul) repeats something from the previous chapter: “…you are NOW made holy, AND each of you is (not will be) invited to the feast of your heavenly calling.”  [Emphasis mine].

I would love to expound on and delve into that, but the following sentence needs attention: “So fasten your thoughts fully onto Jesus, whom we embrace (become one with and surrender to).”

He advised that Moses was a model of faithfulness, but Jesus deserved more glory than Moses.  He says, “…the one who builds the house deserves to be honored more than the house he builds.  Every house is built by someone…”  That someone is God.   Later, he wrote, “AND NOW we are part of His house IF WE CONTINUE courageously to hold firmly to our bold confidence AND our victorious hope.”  [Emphasis mine]

Consistency in commitment is reflected in faithfulness and obedience.   He warns of unbelief and evil Hiding in the heart.  Hiding is not visible and often undetected.

Hebrews 3:14 –“For we are mingled with the Messiah…”  The (NET) renders it “partnered with.”   The Aramaic likens it to leaven and total blending.   The key is in the two-letter word “if.”   If what he says is reality and if we continue unshaken in that confident assurance from the beginning until the end, Then…

Then, we have the disturbing reality that the people who had seen what God did in Egypt and the wilderness rebelled and turned back in their hearts.  Verse 19 makes an alarming statement—“they wrapped their hearts in unbelief.”   In Hebrews 4:6, we see that they didn’t enter into the realm of faith’s rest because they had unbelieving hearts.

When we become completely His, we cease trying to “do” or “perform” and start “being.”   Hebrews 4:12 – “For we have the Living Word of God, which is full of energy (God’s Power), like a two-mouthed sword…”    That is captivating.   The Aramaic interpretation is that when God speaks, we, in agreement, also speak His Word, which becomes a two-mouthed sword. 

The Promises of God are absolute.   Hebrews 6:18 –“So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that His Promises will Never change!  And now we have run Into His Heart and Arms to hide ourselves in His faithfulness.”   It is here in this position and condition that we have comfort, strength, wisdom, authority, and power to seize what has already been established ahead of time.   That is an Unshakable Hope!

So, in Christ, as we continue with surrendered hearts in faith-filled obedience, we are unconquerable!  In Hebrews 7:25, we see that Jesus is able to save fully from now on throughout eternity.

That is a small deposit of what I saw today.   In God’s eyes and plan, who we truly are is who Jesus is.    We are Mingled or Partnered with Him “if” we give Him our whole being.  Then, we are enabled to manifest Him Fully on earth.  The question is, “Why Not Now?  Why Not Us?”

My cry is, “Thank you, Jesus, for deliverance from blindness.  Thank you for the revelation of Who You are and Who we are in You.  Thank you for the courage to dare to BE…”

Today is a day of unequaled victory. Seize it.
