An Impartation of Life
Many Scriptures focus on our understanding of the Lord and relate to our spiritual hunger, personal relationship, and commitment to Him. I love to hold these Scriptures in my heart while I sit in the Lord's presence. As I consider God's Word, it stirs in me a hunger for Him and all He has spoken. Jesus said that His words are Spirit and life (John 6:63). We can believe for an impartation of that life, for His very presence, to burn deep within us as we hold His Word in our hearts.
A key to our walk with the Lord is found in John 15:4. "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me" (KJV).
Abiding In Christ!
Abiding in Christ! Learning to practice His presence every moment of every day. Becoming spiritually disciplined in setting apart quality times to be with Him, that there might come a deeper impartation of His Spirit into our lives. What a beautiful relationship the Lord has called us to!
In Christ Jesus is all the truth and strength that we will ever need. All the treasures are hidden in Him. In Him we live and move and have our being. Our life is to be hidden in Him, that it might be Jesus who is seen and glorified as we walk through life's circumstances.
This is the grace that God is pouring out today for all who will come to receive it! What a glorious calling! And what enabling grace and power God is giving, that we might "be" or "become" a testimony unto Him, whatever we are doing and wherever we might be. That strength is available to each one of us, as we learn to abide in Him and draw from His abiding presence in us. (Photo via Pixabay)
The Power to Overcome
Years ago, there was an area in my life where I desperately wanted change. I tried and tried in my own strength, but I always failed. Then, through Hattie Hammond and her love for Jesus, my own heart was sparked with love for Him like never before. I began to worship the Lord from deep within, as I prayed for that same love relationship with the Lord that I saw in her life. I began to spend more time in His presence, allowing the truth of His Word to sink deep into my heart.
Then one day, as I cried out for God's blessing on my life, to my surprise, that change I had been desiring took place in my heart! From that point on, things were different for me. I later realized that day by day, as I had been spending time in His presence and in His Word, His strength had come inside me, enabling me to make the choice I had wanted to make before but never could in my own strength. Now it was His strength in me. I had become an overcomer while hardly even knowing it was happening!
This Beautiful Relationship
This is the beautiful relationship the Lord is calling us up into today. As Believers we can pray prayers of consecration, inviting the Lord to work deep within our hearts, that Jesus might be seen in greater ways through our lives. We can express a desire for a deeper relationship with Him as we make time available to spend in His presence—not out of duty, but out of love for the Lord.
May we hold His Word in our hearts, believing for a deeper impartation of His very presence in our lives. May the Spirit and life in His words fill our hearts and give us strength.
Teach us, Lord, to abide in You. We want Your fullness. Cause us to understand what it means to have You abiding in our hearts. May we yield to You, that You might be seen in greater ways in and through our lives. Teach us, Lord, to abide in You.
