ACTS 2.33
then having been exalted at the right hand of God—also having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father—He poured forth this which you now see and hear;
=====
1 JOHN 2.27
and you, the anointing that you received from Him, it remains in you, and you have no need that anyone may teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, you will remain in Him.
=====
JOHN 15.14
you are My friends if you may do whatever I command you;
JAMES 2.22-23
Do you see that faith was working with his works, and faith was perfected out of the works? And the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”; and, “Friend of God” he was called.
=====
MATTHEW 11.28-30
Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest; take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls, for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
More and Higher
But God Wants Something More and Something Higher.
God Wants us to Seek for the Holy Spirit as a Spirit of Power in our own heart and life, to Conquer self and Cast Out sin and Work the Blessed and Beautiful Image of Jesus Into us.
The Name
God Has Committed All Authority to His Son, So That in the Very Name Itself There is Power.
It is not only that He Has Such a Name, but that we are to Use It.
He has Placed That Authority in our hands for us to use.
If we do not Know Our Part In It we suffer great loss.
Source
The first lesson is that I do not wish to do anything out of my own self.
And the last lesson is also that of not doing anything out of one’s own self.
This does not mean that we do not seek or are not zealous; it simply means that all our Seeking or all our Zealousness MUST Come From the Lord.
It is not that will will not work, but that we will only Work the Work of God.
It is not that we will not seek for power, but that we will Seek the Power the Comes From the Lord.
The entire issue lies in this matter of Source: from whence is it all derived?
Count Upon Him
Revelation is Always the Work of the Holy Spirit, who is Given in order that, By Coming Alongside and Opening to us the Scriptures He may Guide us Into All the Truth.
Count Upon Him, for He is here for That Very Thing.
Seeing and Believing
Seeing and Believing are Two Principles which Govern Christian Living.
When we See Something That God Has Done in Christ
Our natural response is Thank You, Lord!
And Faith Follows spontaneously.
Full Blessedness of Knowing Him
The Believing Surrender to Christ,
And the Submission to His Word
To Expect what appears most improbable,
Is the ONLY WAY to the Full Blessedness of Knowing Him.
