Divine illuminations

This truely is a place where there is a true sense of that intuitive spark of divine consciousness. And yet, every desire we have is of its own nature. Since we are made new by the Spirit, then there is no desire that we have that is not transferred by grace. I find in this life that my natural inclination is to become sullen by the weight of some kind of fallen spiritual paradigms with the thoughts of this earth and a conscious independence to rest in my own power. Its so subtle that it just creeps up on my spiritual awareness. But since there is a deep well of heart issues, those desires that we have for the eternal, then there is nothing that we can do to smother them completely. So that we are most miserable creatures under the burden of our sin and our lack of thankfulness. This comes in just resting from any struggle.
When we desire to have all of the blessings of the promises of God, then we are made to rejoice. But our understanding only comes by increasing these desires since what we desire is what is going to be done in the end. And since we have this inner world of acting, then we are living in the reality of His life in us when we are having the springs of His Holy Spirit increasing the life of Christ as a constant disposition of living in the eternal conscious communications of His revelation. We know this because we gain an understanding of the nature of these attributable paradigms that lighten the weight of this struggle in temptation and cause us to be raised up in our affections to spend our hours longing for eternal immunations of His love and faithfulness. If we have a taste of His goodness, then all is well with our souls. Oh that the Spirit would baptize us in the confidence and assurance of the reality of the glorious knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh that divine illumination that translates us into a hope that is sure and steadfast. We must get used to living with a level of eternal communications in the deep recesses of our souls. To hear when there is silence, to long for Him when there is only voices around us that are complaining, and to be enraptured in His eternal powerful resurrection calling that takes us out of this world so that we are lost in His wonder and praise. For when we have desires for His glory then we will experience the pleasure of having fellowship with His Spirit.
