If we are Really To Abide in Christ, and to be Found in Him –
To have our life ALWAYS and WHOLLY in Him –
We must each say,
I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the Knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, that I may Win Christ, and be Found in Him.
The Father Desires to Have us Filled With His Spirit and He Delights to Give us His Spirit.
When Praying to be Filled With the Spirit, do NOT look for the answer in how you feel.
All Spiritual Blessings must be Accepted or Taken By Faith.
We ought but we cannot.
Only God Can Live God’s Life.
And Since Christ is God, therefore Christ ALONE Can Live God’s Type of Living.
COLOSSIANS 1.29
for which I also labor, striving according to His working that is working in me in power.
GALATIANS 5.22
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] self-control.

PHILIPPIANS 3.8-9
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him, not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,

LUKE 11.13
If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”

MATTHEW 5.48
You will therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in the heavens is perfect.”
But God has His Workers and His Plans Clearly Mapped Out,
And our position is to Wait On God to Communicate to us as Much of His Will as each time is needful.
God’s Word is Stand!
Put on the Whole Armor of God that you may be able to Stand Against the wiles of the devil.
Hold your ground!
First what the Lord Jesus Has Done For us,
And second, what the Holy Spirit Will Do In us.
Not of Salvation but of Pleasing God.
Wherever there is Life,
There is a Continual Interchange of Taking In and Giving Out, Receiving and Restoring.
The one Depends on the Other – the Giving Out Ever Increases the Power of Taking In.
In the Healthy Exercise of Giving and Taking is all the Enjoyment of Life.
