The Essential Element Of Consecration To God
Essential to consecration to God is the power of the Spirit of God enabling the believer to follow Christ. Consecration without power cannot stand. Only by the Spirit and His strength can one be faithful to God. This is God's faithful provision.
A Voice Heard In Heaven
It is one thing to pray to God. It is quite another for God to answer the prayer. The importance of this matter is monumental because the Scriptures teach us that man was created to have fellowship with God, to commune with Him. When God answers prayer in response to true faith, He hears from heaven, from His throne. This single fact elevates prayer in its importance and essential practice.
The Oneness Of God
The Lord makes it quite clear in the Old Testament that there is but one God, and He is to be worshipped as such. He goes on to reveal what and Who He is, by unveiling to us His eternal attributes, to be amplified when Christ came to this earth to die on Calvary, and rise from the dead. The great I AM of the Old Testament is the Alpha and Omega of the New Testament. The only true and living God.
The Greatest Thing Loving God
It is the most logical of truths that because God IS love we should love Him not only first, but with our whole being. How is this possible? The answer lies in three words: aims, limits, possibilities. The believer is to aim at loving God with his whole heart. This is the objective. However, faith has its limits. We love in the measure that we can consistently trust and obey. But there are great possibilities of what God can do in answer to faith, beyond what we can ask or think.
In The Name Of Jesus
The name of Jesus has been given to every believer, so that by the authority and power of that name, the believer can overcome every foe, and obstacle. All becomes possible in the will of God when the believer goes forth trusting in the name of the Lord Jesus, because His name represents who He is, the One to whom all power and authority has been given in heaven and on earth.
God's Faithful Work In Us
God works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. He also provides for us all that is needed in Christ, so that as we seek Him, He will work to reveal His faithfulness. The promise is certain; He will supply every need.
Beyond What We Ask Or Think
Faith in God means not only a personal trust in a person, but a trust that goes beyond the limits of man's understanding and possibilities. God is God, and man is man. Faith in God is putting faith in the One for whom nothing is impossible, certainly beyond what we can ask or think.
A Heart For God
How do we know that God is working in the heart of an individual? One way is to see a thirst for Him, a longing for that which is eternal. There is also the evidence of His working in the conscience of the individual, convicting one of that which is good and not. But primarily with the thirst comes a desire to be right with God by Christ.
Unlearning Much To Know Christ
When we are born into this world, we begin to learn a great deal. Much of that which we learn, we hear and see, is conceived and promoted by the world system, a system which is not of faith in God, but in man. If one is to follow Christ, then one must begin to unlearn much, for God has only promised to bless His word, His Son, and those who truly seek Him as a result of true faith.
The Only But Certain Hope
When sin came into the world, and death because of it, man for the first time came to realize that he needed a Savior from the power of sin, but also its eternal consequences. There was but one Hope in the Garden of Eden, and it was the Lord Jesus who walked there in the eve of the day, seeking Adam and Eve. Christ is still the only hope of men, and He is still seeking who will come to him to be saved.
