Staying Connected

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘What is the greatest source of power in my life? Is it my work, service, and sacrifice for others, or is it my striving to work for God? It should be none of these— what ought to exert the greatest power in my life is the atonement of the Lord. It is not on what we spend the greatest amount of time that molds us the most, but whatever exerts the most power over us. We must make a determination to limit and concentrate our desires and interests on the atonement by the Cross of Christ.’ CHAMBERS
 
We must remember who we are in Christ .. and live in that awareness.  To abide in Christ is to be connected to the Vine .. to draw your strength and essence from Him.  "I [Jesus] am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5.  "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7
 
You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” James 4:2-3
 
It is not “name it and claim it”  If we are abiding in Christ .. we see the whole world from a new perspective … What we want is what He wants … Our view toward life on this planet is radically changed … Has it for you?
