Do we will Ourselves to Abide in Jesus?

Paul trusted Jesus way beyond his own abilities. II Timothy 1:12

"That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him[a] until the day of his return."

Abiding in Jesus is the same. Trust and rest in Jesus' ability.

We are called to trust his ability to keep us.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let

yourselves be burdened again by a

yoke of slavery." Gal 5:1

Abiding in Jesus is the most freeing and elevating relationship available to us in our life journey. Abiding in Jesus is a full circle of fullness.

"And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Ephesians 1:22

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Matt 28:18

Abiding is not simply being in prayer, reading the word or having a quiet time.

This is the best place to start learning to abide. But it is not the fullness of abiding.

The fullness of abiding in Jesus is a full circle.

Jesus is the secret we've been given

Enter in.... his presence is an open door invitation to the depths of love.

Abide in him....remain in his love all day walking in the Spirit

Obey his voice....the full circle of abiding is to join Jesus in doing the will of the Father, loving the world, going with the gospel and carrying his Kingdom everywhere we go!

Many focus their "abiding" on times set aside with God.
Then when they exit that time they have no real sense of his abiding presence.

Jesus said, "And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20

He never leaves us or forsakes us.
We simply learn so see, hear and know him in all of life.

The reality of God's presence is without boarders of time....

Without boarders of feeling....

Without boarders of location....

The reality is the presence of the Lord Jesus is all the time presence,
in all places, through all circumstances.

He is present in the world everywhere.
But more important he is present with us.

His habitations are like deeply rooted trees

Disciples learn to walk in the Spirit and know this presence in everything.

Oh What JOY!

We enter into grace and love and his presence through and in the power of his blood and the redemptive grace.
We walk in by faith. We abide in faith. Trust and the power of grace through faith fill us with the knowledge of his love and grace empowers our way.

Oh What JOY!

Abiding that sticks in his presence all day long is rooted in love and obedience.

The full circle of abiding is not simply waiting on God and being in his presence.

It includes the way of obedience and walking by faith in the Spirit.

The fullness of abiding is found in walking in his presence all day, everywhere, in all things.

This is how we pray without ceasing.

This is how we abide in an unbroken presence of the Lord Jesus.

We walk in the Spirit through the day.

We live and breath and move as a living sacrifice.

We obey his voice, commands and serve the Lord in the world.

We love like him.

We abide in his love for the world and lay down our lives like he did. I John 3:16

Oh What JOY!

Abide full circle in the fullness of his presence and love today!

It is our inheritance in the Victorious Lord Jesus.

His habitations are a cool breezy beach!

DON'T LIMIT GOD'S PRESENCE at ALL.
HE never leaves us or forsakes us.

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

8If I go up to the heavens, you are there;

if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.

11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,”

12even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

Psalms 139:7-12

Rather, set yourself to understanding, growing and abiding in his presence.

Learn to see him all day. Learn to see him in everything.

Unless you become as little children
You will not see the Kingdom of Heaven.

Get your Hopes UP
Get your desire for HIM awake.
Never settle for a
Divided
Daunted
Hindered
HEART.
YOU were made for something so much more amazing and free!

Some paths you can take once you step into the Sun!
Be with HIM.

Be sent by HIM.

These two simple foundations create a motion and reality in your walking in the Spirit that is constant and effective. The Kingdom will begin to move in and through you by faith on a daily basis. You will not only do great things in the power of the Spirit but you will be full of the great love of God that is steadfast and immovable.

Get these two foundations in prayer!

How's your 24?
How's your prayer walk?
Sowing into prayer is the greatest avenue for consistent joy in Jesus than any other thing out there.

Take a new step into the depths and riches of knowing Jesus.  Pray.

Start today.  5 mins listening to or reading the Scripture and Psalm 27:14 wait for the Lord.
Grab some time and steal away with Jesus.
He is remarkable to be around.
You will tap into the grace of God.
The Father sent Jesus to restore us to him and he is longing to know us in Christ. (John 17:3)

Love the Lord your God with all your HEART.

The heart is first in the narrow pathway of grace and faith in Jesus.

The heart is also first in struggles and challenges.

We are admonished.

1. Guard our hearts - Pro 4:23

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

2. Be blessed in a Pure heart - Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

3. Do Not let your heart condemn you - I John 3:20-22
This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

The Heart is meant to run free in the abundant, boundless, victorious work of Jesus! It can be a battle ground. Knowing clearly the paths of the new and living way in Jesus paves the way for our hearts to be free and huge in his presence.

The Father, our Abba Father, opened up heaven itself through Jesus. The High Priest of the Heavenly Temple has the heart we inherit. Resting in him is the first step onto paths of abundant presence.

  Here are three conditions of the heart giving clarity and focus to our walk in the Spirit.
It's so worth it to take some time before the Lord and let the Spirit reveal the condition of our hearts.

What if Jesus met us at the "point of our desire". That we actually could have as much as we ran and reached for in our inheritance in Jesus?   To go after higher calling you will need a heart that is......

UNDIVIDED

Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 86:11
The heart divided cannot run free is the expanse of the freedom, inheritance and fullness of Jesus Christ. These paths are reserved for wholehearted devotion. As we reach for such places of the heart in Christ, remember they are discovered in Christ. This heart abides before the Father in perfected obedience and love in the Son of God. We have the mind and presence of Christ in us (Colossians 1:27; I Cor 2:16) We have the pavement for the path of undivided hearts in us through Christ by faith.

Step onto the paths of boundless freedom. Ask the Holy Spirit to heal your heart, to measure it's condition in the boundless freedom of worship, prayer and presence in Christ. Don't wait another moment. Get into the prayer closet and rest in Christ. Let the Spirit soothe the pains of the heart that draw us back from asking for the highest wisdom and revelation of Jesus. Get your Hope's UP!

UNDAUNTED

Jesus is the King of the Kings of the Earth. All authority is given to him. His Kingdom is here and in us. So why are we intimidated by anyone or anything? Nothing in all creation and no condition of our lives can separate us from the love of Jesus. So why are we daunted by the death affronting us? We carry life. Eternal life. We shine with a manifested Kingdom now (II Tim 2:10-12) manifest in our Savoir Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the undaunted one, facing death head on, he trusted the Father and walked in his will in obedience. He leaned deep into prayer and trust and overcame death for us! (Hebrews 5:7-9) The enemy seeks to intimidate us. To quiet our voice of grace, peace and victory, he intimidates us with violence, opposition, hindrances, a Judas or two. Sometimes we interpret such things as coming from him and so our undaunted hearts get divided and confused. Such things need attention and the Spirit's wisdom and purity.

We see on the one hand death and on the other life. We walk in the face of death every day with the life of Christ and the full power and ability of Jesus to save, redeem and renew any and all.

Find the place of undaunted grace in the face of the Lord Jesus. Undaunted love and undaunted trust pave the way to undaunted life in Jesus Christ.

UNHINDERED

A hindered heart can be the result of many things. The important point is that is it not free in the Lord's presence. Without that freedom there's not a foundation worthy to support the undivided heart.
We will regularly face hindrance, persecution, opposition.

Jesus - "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Paul - "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted," II Timothy 3:12

We cannot be hindered of heart by such things. We cannot allow ourselves to lose heart in the face of anything the earth can throw at us.

"for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." I John 5:4

"Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:3

Our Master, leader, friend, Jesus Christ, did not lose heart. He gained heart by looking into the Face of the Father. He lived and breathed and moved in every word that proceeded from the Father's mouth. He only did what he saw his Father doing. He life was an abiding in the presence and will of the Father. This is the life that all the hindrances seek to
Silence
Quiet
Cut off
Eliminate
Hinder
Discourage

Our walk in the Spirit will lead us into paths of the unhindered heart. As sure as the sun rises and the earth spins and we awake for another day in his amazing presence, if we trust and walk in the Spirit we will see an unhindered heart like Jesus'. The Spirit is leading us to be just like him, to walk like him in this world. I John 2:6

I don't know about you....but I want that heart in mine.

Get your Hopes UP
Get your desire for HIM awake.
Never settle for a
Divided
Daunted
Hindered
HEART.
YOU were made for something so much more amazing and free!

Some paths you can take once you step into the Sun!
Be with HIM.

Be sent by HIM.

Get these two foundations in prayer!
