Abiding in Christ
Abiding in Christ!
Keeps us in the Place Where the Answer Can Be Bestowed.
The Blessing must not only be Asked, but Waited for, and Received in Prayer.
Abiding in Christ is the Place for Receiving Answers.
The Lord Much Glory
Answer to Prayer Gives the Lord Much Glory, for it Reveals the Exceeding Greatness of His Love and Power in Fulfilling the Request of His Children.
It also Indicates that His Will is Done, because He will not Answer Prayer which is not in Accordance with His Will.
Inheritance
God Enumerates in the Covenant All the Inheritance He is Giving us, and This Covenant He Seals with the Blood of the Lord Jesus.
It is on the Ground of This New Covenant of the Blood of the Lord Jesus that we Come Into our Spiritual Inheritance.
Lamb
Why is a lamb always gentle?
Because this is its nature.
Does it cost the lamb any trouble to be gentle?
No.
Why not?
It is so beautiful and gentle.
Has a lamb to study to be gentle?
No.
Why does that come so easy?
It is its nature.
Prayer
Prayer is the Asking of God to Fulfill His Needs.
It is God Accomplishing His Purpose Through the Prayers of the Believers.
Self-Denial
Self-denial must be Practiced Everywhere!
It is just as Essential in Prayers and it is in Action.

1 THESSALONIANS 5.16-18
always rejoice; continually pray; give thanks in everything, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
=====
JAMES 4.3
you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
JOHN 15.7
if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
=====
GALATIANS 5.22
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love,
=====
2 CORINTHIANS 5.14-15
for the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged thus: that if one died for all, then the whole died, and He died for all, that those living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised again.
Love
The Love of God is Shed Abroad in our hearts.
The Love of God Always Means the Love of God in Its Entirety – God’s Love to me, my Love to God and my Love to my fellowmen – in Its Fullness as an Indwelling Power, a Love of God to me that Leaps Back to Him in Love and Overflows to my fellowmen in Love.
Yes! We can Love all the day.
Live By Christ
But if I have Learned to Live By Christ as my Life, then I have Discovered the Secret of Victory, and Praise God, in the Inward Sense also, there is Therefore Now No Condemnation.
