‘Ask the Lord to put awareness of Himself in you, and your
self-awareness will disappear. Then He
will be your all in all. Beware of allowing your self-awareness to
continue, because slowly but surely it will awaken self-pity, and self-pity is
satanic. Don’t allow yourself to say, “Well, they have just misunderstood me,
and this is something over which they should be apologizing to me; I’m sure I
must have this cleared up with them already.” Learn to leave others alone
regarding this. Simply ask the Lord to give you Christ-awareness, and He will
steady you until your completeness in Him is absolute.’ CHAMBERS
John 16:33 “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.”
I saw a bumper sticker once … “No Jesus, No Peace; Know
Jesus, Know Peace” That is basically what Oswald Chambers is saying … that is
certainly what Jesus said. When you are suddenly
aware that you are feeling anxious/stressed … it is like the transition from
being healthy to being sick. The absence
of pain, worry, a troubled mind, a broken heart … in the midst of circumstances
that would cause anyone of those symptoms is an indication that you are
spiritually aware of the presence of Jesus and the strength He gives you to
endure. But, as those feelings begin to creep
in. just like a cold or flu might come upon you. As they begin to dominate your thinking and
become the motivation for your actions and attitude, you must recognize that you are drifting away
from Jesus. You are becoming aware of
your fallibilities … of your weakness and vulnerabilities.
2 Corinthians 12:9
‘But he (Jesus) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I (Paul) will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.’
When we were born again, it was at that point that we
admitted that we needed a savior … after we are born again .. that need does
not go away …
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in
me. The life I now live in the body, I
live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
“All In All”
“You are my strength when I am weak. You are the treasure that I seek. You are my all in all. Seeking you like a precious jewel, Lord to
give up, I’d be a fool.”
