Look To The Lord
We ought to Look To The Lord, and Pay Much Attention to God’s Interests and Needs.
Let us Watch and Pray.
Edify Us
Whenever the Lord Permits something to happen to us, He has His Purpose Behind It.
He Intends to Use These Happenings to Edify us.
All of His Chastenings are to Perfect us that we may be Holier.
He Chastens us In Order to Make us Partakers of His Divine Nature.
Deep Restfulness
The life of the Branch is not only a Life of Entire Dependence but of Deep Restfulness.
If you would be a True Branch of Christ, the Living Vine, Rest On Him.
Let Christ Bear The Responsibility.
New Life
The Death and the Resurrection of Christ Gives us New Life.
Just as He Died For us, so He was Also Raised For us.
Even as we Need His Death, so we Also Need His Resurrection.
Through the Death of the Lord Jesus we are Delivered From All which belongs to Adam.
By His Resurrection we Can Enter Into All which Belongs To Christ.

JOHN 15.16

As to the rest, my brothers, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might;
2 CORINTHIANS 12.9
and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
=====
ROMANS 5.8-10
and God commends His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ died for us; much more, then, having been declared righteous now in His blood, we will be saved through Him from the wrath; for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in His life.
2 CORINTHIANS 5.17
so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have become new.
Absolute Dependence
Learn to be nothing, learn to be helpless.
Absolute Dependence Upon God is the Secret of All Power in Life.
The branch has nothing but what it gets from the Vine, and you and I can have nothing but what we get from Jesus.
Discipline
PROVERBS 3.11-12 Discipline of YHWH, my son, do not despise, || And do not be distressed with His reproof, For whom YHWH loves He reproves, || Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
Praise
HEBREWS 13.15 Through Him, then, we may always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His Name.
