Christ is Our Very Life
How Completely! Christ is our Very Life!
How He Undertakes! To Be and To Do Everything in us that we need Him To Be and To Do.
And Apply! This Truth to our Prayer Life.
Jesus is Waiting and Longing, to Teach us This.
Depend On The Spirit of God
The least amount of self-reliance will unquestionably take away our Reliance On the Holy Spirit.
Only people who have been Crucified Know and are Willing to Know How to Depend On the Spirit of God and His Power.

GALATIANS 3.3
Are you so thoughtless? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now end in the flesh?
=====
GENESIS 2.7
And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
=====
PHILIPPIANS 4.11
I do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;
=====
1 JOHN 3.5-6
and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him; everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
=====
1 CORINTHIANS 2.2-5
for I decided not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified; and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you; and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power—that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
We Tend To Limit
The Father Longs to Hear the Prayer of Faith, to Give us whatever we Ask For in Jesus’ Name.
We tend to limit the Great Love and Promises of our God.
It seems we cannot read the simplest and clearest statements of our Lord without adding qualifying clauses.
God Hears Prayer! but very few understand its Full Meaning or Experience its Full Power.
If anyone is motivated enough to Take the Master’s Promises Simply and Literally as They Stand…
Abide
The Believer can have sin and yet not do sin.
The evil nature, the flesh, is unchanged in its enmity against God, but the Abiding Presence of Jesus keeps it down.
In Faith the Believer Entrusts himself to the Keeping to the Indwelling, of the Son of God;
He Abides in Him, and Counts On Jesus to Abide in Him too.
Humble
Humble!
He is real.
He acts naturally and speaks gently.
Like his Master, he will take a towel…for he esteems others better than himself.
He is not too proud, either, to ask for their help when he needs it.
Prayer
Sometimes the devil will attack our appointed time of Prayer.
Many have experienced this.
How subtle is the enemy.
If he cannot succeed in having our time of Prayer fully occupied with other things, he will see to it that we do not have Real Prayer at that time.
Frequently we are able to maintain the time of Prayer, but we lack the Life of Prayer.
Filled with the Holy Spirit
We have grieved God’s Spirit;
We have tried to be Christians with as little as possible of God’s Spirit;
We have not sought to be Filled with the Holy Spirit.
All feebleness is owing to the refusal to obey God.
