Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers has a very important message for us! Here is the portion containing this message!
Death hath no more dominion over Him…in that He liveth, He
liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God. — Romans 6:9-11
Co-Eternal Life. Eternal life was
the life which Jesus Christ exhibited on the human plane, and it is the same
life, not a copy of it, which is manifested in our mortal flesh when we are
born of God. Eternal life is not a gift from God, eternal life is the gift of
God. .....
Ye
shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost — not power as a gift from the Holy
Ghost; the power is the Holy Ghost, not something which He
imparts. The life that was in Jesus is made ours by means of His Cross when
once we make the decision to be identified with Him. ......
Jesus came to give us
endless supplies of life: “that ye might be filled with all the fulness of
God.” Eternal Life has nothing to do with Time, it is the life which Jesus lived
when He was down here. The only source of Life is the Lord Jesus Christ.
The
weakest saint can experience the power of the Deity of the Son of God if once
he is willing to “let go.” Any strand of our own energy will blur the life of
Jesus. We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of
God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we
have been with Jesus.
What I hope that you see from this is that when we receive JESUS as Lord and personal Savior, we are not receiving SOMETHING, but SOMEONE! When we receive the PERSON of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, we are receiving all that He IS! That's why we must FIRST OF ALL love HIM with everything that is within us! When you fellowship with Him, you are not speaking into Heaven, but to the One Who lives in YOU! If you will meditate on these Truths, you will be more aware of His presence and you will NEVER feel distant from Him again! He will NEVER leave you or forsake you! If it seems to be so, just get yourself right back into fellowship with Him. The best way to do that is through praise and worship, praying in the Spirit and meditating the Word of God. Here is a song that should help with that! Hillsong Worship with "What A Beautiful Name":
Shalom in Him!
