EVERYTHING

1 John 2:27 (NASB77)
“And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.”
Everything we receive from God is dynamic. This means it is alive, pulsating, and moving; it is never static, dead, or unmoving. The initial reception is an encounter within itself but never an end. To make sense of it all we get all systematic about it.
With each encounter it takes desire, submission, and total abandonment; nothing systematic about that. The longing in our hearts for God is the basis for each encounter; and when it is all said and done, His presence, Him in Himself above the encounter is our stay.
Justification, regeneration, salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost Baptism etc… are like liquid flowing into each other, into us, and they are all a work of His mercy and grace. It is all a salvific move of God in our hearts; once again, God is who we are longing for.
There are two things stationary in our encounters, God and our longing. The simplicity in all this is God desires us and we desire Him.  More God, more; cannot get enough of You.
