A WORD IN SEASON TO THE WEARY
🌷🌷🌷 August 10 🌷🌷🌷
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2).
It has been the desire of God from the very beginning of the creation that man should inherit all things. When He made the first man Adam, He gave him dominion, authority and power. Because of disobedience, Adam lost that privilege. That loss was recovered fully by the Lord Jesus Christ, and to put the devil to shame, we are going to receive much more than what Adam lost. That is the mystery you will know when the eternal life begins to flow into you freely and abundantly.
Then we are reminded in 1Cor. 2:9, “…Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”. We can never understand these things by our human wisdom or thinking or Bible knowledge; but when you know the love of the Lord Jesus Christ increasing in a greater measure, then these things will also be understood. The devil tries to rob God’s people of their spiritual inheritance. That is why you have to be very careful and take firm hold of all that the Lord has given you. Mark 13:37, “…what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” Watch, and do not allow the enemy to rob you of your spiritual, heavenly inheritance. The enemy cannot take away the gift of eternal life from you. But he has the power to prevent you from enjoying your spiritual inheritance. The weapon which he uses most often is spiritual blindness, which seems to be the strongest weapon the devil uses during the end days-even spiritual darkness. He uses all kinds of rituals, ceremonies and traditions to bring that blindness into men’s lives, from which we have to be freed. The apostle Paul says in Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. We have to have a very clear understanding of our salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have to be kept constantly under the Headship, Lordship and Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ, governed and controlled by Him at every moment. The Lord says in John15:5 (last fragment), “He that abided in me, and I in him, the same brength forth much fruit”.
After my conversion, I found in my heart a great hunger for the Word of God, and I began to spend many hours a day upon my knees with the Bible. Without any struggle the Lord freed me, from all the pleasures and attractions of the world, but still I was conscious that there was something lacking in my spiritual life. So I began to pray secretly, “Lord, give me that life in fullness”. It went on for many months, but one night I heard the Voice of God asking me, “Tell me, how were all your sins forgiven “? I said, “Lord, I believed that I was the greatest sinner living, and that Your blood was shed for me and that you forgave me”. Then the same Voice said to me, “Now believe that you are the weakest person living, and you will have My power”. These words became my experience. The Lord said, “…without me ye can do nothing”. I realised then how completely I was depending upon the Lord for everything; for every word to be spoken, every thought, everything to be done and planned. I had to go to Him, even for the smallest thing. That’s how the Lord became real and precious and true to me. I knew then that He is all powerful, and that that power is for me. We have to keep our eyes constantly upon the Lord, out highly exalted, glorious and loving Saviour. Our overcoming life depends upon that and not upon Bible knowledge, long prayers, fasting, or other qualifications. When our Lord becomes real to us, He takes charge of everything.
