A Vision of His Purpose
Wade E Taylor

The extent of the redemption wrought by the Lord in our behalf is beyond our capacity to fully comprehend. In this last day, the Lord will yet fulfill through His Body, the Church, all He has determined to do.

Presently, the Lord is separating unto Himself those who have fully committed their lives to Him and seek Him in earnest. Within these is a "stirring" which they may or may not understand. These are being moved upon by the Lord to step out in (His) faith and enter with Him a realm that is beyond present (normal?)Christian experience.

"According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him
in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of
His will .... that in the dispensation of the fullness of times
he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also
we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to
the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His
own will ... to the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly places might be known by the Church the manifold
wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which He purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with
confidence by the faith of Him" Eph 1:4-5,10-11; 3:10-12.

The infilling of the Holy Spirit is intended to accomplish much more than merely enabling us to move in gifts and ministries, or to be prepared for a future heaven. As we yield our lives to Him, the Holy Spirit will activate within us the "FAITH OF HE WHO REDEEMED US" to bring to pass all that He from eternity purposed to accomplish through His Church.

The danger is that we will settle for less and eternally come short of all He intends to do through us. It is important that we make room for the Holy Spirit to reveal our present need for preparation in becoming a partaker in these higher purposes.

As we ask our Lord to create within us an increased spiritual hunger along with an enlarged spiritual capacity, the Holy Spirit will equip us for our place in all that He is yet determined to fulfill through His Body, the Church. As He brings us into a fresh working of prophetic anointing, we will see first in vision, and then gradually in experience, the outworking of this.

"The secret of the Lord is with them that fear (reverence)
Him; and He will shew them His covenant" Psalm 25:14.

The Lord has made an adequate provision for us to enter into all that He intends and has made available to us. Our part is in seeking Him to fully receive His provision and then move with Him, beyond our present limited experience.
