Life in the Word

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (Joh 15:7)

God works by principles. He built the universe by principles. Everything that exists work by principles. And some of those principles we have already discovered; like the law of gravity and many other physical constants and principles that govern this physical world and the entire universe. 

I believe God has set up the spiritual realm in the same manner that He set up the physical world. God has set up spiritual principles so that by them the spirit realm is governed. Well not only the spirit realm but the physical realm as well because the physical realm is subject to the spiritual realm. The Lord has demonstrated that to us when He was here. He multiplied the bread and the fish, He walked on water, He walked through closed doors, and many other wonders He performed. This generation has also seen many miracles through a number of Ministers and Pastors. And a local church is never without a testimony of the supernatural move of the Spirit of God.

John 15:7 is plain and simple. I believe it is a key principle that God wants us to learn. We know from Scripture that we can never be anything if we are apart from God. Scripture also tells us that with God all things are possible. John 15:7 is simple to do if we are only willing.

Sometimes a Christian's prayer life is just full of begging; asking God to address all kinds of troubles and cares. But John 15:7 tells us that its not really up to God at all. If we just abide in Him and His words abide in us, whatever we ask, it will be done for us.  And so, all that we really need to do is just to stick with Him, and let His words abide in us. We carry His words with us, we don't let it get out from our sight, they are always at the forefront of our brains, of our tongues, they are always overflowing in our hearts as if they are our most prized possessions! And we will ask whatever we wish and it will be done for us.

If Isaac Newton went to experiment and discovered the Law of Gravity so that now we know how to operate and work through it, I believe we can also experiment so that we can discover that Law of Faith and we can also learn how to operate and work through it. Now let us consider this passage as our take home science project:

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. (Pro 4:20-22)

I believe if we are just diligent enough, to listen and to do His words, we will never be without a testimony of the goodness of God.

Transcribing Kathryn Kuhlman

 "It means something to be a Christian. It means something to be born again. It’s something more than just shedding of your tears. It’s much more than just kneeling down and saying a prayer. This thing of being a Christian is a life; it’s an experience; it’s a day-by-day proposition. And you haven’t really learned how to live; you have no real purpose in life; there is no real purpose for you in living; until you have been born again." "It cost everything. If you really want to know the price; if you really want to know the price, I’ll tell you. It’d cost you everything. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago. I know the day, I know the hour, I can go to the spot where Kathryn Kuhlman died. But you see for me it was easy; because I had nothing." "You can only know His perfect will, and He'll only make intercession for you before the Father's throne, seeking the will of God on your behalf, when you get to a place where you have no will of your own.

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because ...

Imagine Acts 1:9-11

And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." ESV (Act 1:9-11) The story is all too familiar to most people, and to them it remains to be just a story. But these things really took place. It’s not a recent event. But an event 1 hour ago is no different from an event 2 hours ago or even 2000 years ago. They all took place during the course of time. Imagine that these things took place just yesterday. And you were there. Jesus rose from the dead and then He ascended up in the clouds, and then there are these two guys who tell you, Jesus is coming back in the same manner that you saw Him go up. Get a hold of the reality of that event. ...
