Shalom,
Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is POWERFUL!
Undisturbed
Relationship
At that day
ye shall ask in My name….The Father Himself loveth you. — John 16:26,27
“At that day
ye shall ask in My name,” i.e., in My nature. Not — “You shall use My name as a
magic word,” but — “You will be so intimate with Me that you will be one with
Me.” “That day” is not a day hereafter, but a day meant for here and now. “The
Father Himself loveth you” — the union is so complete and absolute. Our Lord
does not mean that life will be free from external perplexities, but that just
as He knew the Father’s heart and mind, so by the baptism of the Holy Ghost He
can lift us into the heavenly places where He can reveal the counsels of God to
us.
“Whatsoever
ye shall ask the Father in My name…” “That day” is a day of undisturbed
relationship between God and the saint. Just as Jesus stood unsullied in the
presence of His Father, so by the mighty efficacy of the baptism of the Holy
Ghost, we can be lifted into that relationship — “that they may be one, even as
We are One.”
“…He will
give it you.” Jesus says that God will recognize our prayers. What a
challenge! By the Resurrection and Ascension power of Jesus, by the sent-down
Holy Ghost, we can be lifted into such a relationship with the Father that we
are at one with the perfect sovereign will of God by our free choice even as
Jesus was. In that wonderful position, placed there by Jesus Christ, we can
pray to God in His name, in His nature, which is gifted to us by the Holy
Ghost, and Jesus says — “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will
give it you.” The sovereign character of Jesus Christ is tested by His own
statements.
HALLELUJAH! We are SO BLESSED to be born again children of the MOST HIGH GOD! What HE has belongs to us because WE are HIS! Now go over to Psalm 148 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and worship HIM with it! Here, also, is Hillsong with "Like Incense (Sometimes By Step)":
Shalom in Him!
