Think on this. 

When you believed Jesus Christ, when you surrendered your life to Him, the Holy Spirit took you out of the kingdom of darkness where all humanity has been held prisoner since Adam’s fall. He then translated you into the Kingdom of God where you became new creations by the Power of the Holy Spirit; confirming your faith and the grace God had given you to respond to His love.

Yes, you received Jesus Christ into your life, but greater still, God brought you and all that you are into the fullness of His life. When Jesus came to live His life in and through you by the Holy Spirit’s indwelling, He came to live in you all that He is. Jesus is Life within you. He has brought His righteousness, His holiness, His faithfulness, His wisdom, His obedience, His own resurrection power, His goodness, His love, His peace, His patience, His joy, His kindness, His gentleness, His long-suffering, His self-control, His truth, His Eternal Life.

All that He brought with Him (when He came to live His Life in you), He is now perfecting in you; He is applying it all; making it work its perfect work in you. Remember, the living-water artesian spring in you is not produced by you. He is the One producing Life in you to display through you His very life and love to the world. He is trustworthy to finish in you the work He began in you. Trust Him.

  PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...

 HEBREWS 10:1-2, 10-18 "The sacrifices under that system ( the Old Covenant) were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.   If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.   For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.  Under the Old Covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.   But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.   There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.   For by that one offering He forever m...

  From Oswald Chambers today: "If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn’t ask you to make it right; He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.” When the light shines and the Spirit brings conviction of sin, be a child of the light. Confess your wrongdoing, and God will deal with it. If, however, you try to vindicate yourself, you prove yourself to be a child of the darkness. What is the proof that carnality has gone? Never deceive yourself; when carnality is gone you will know it— it is the most real thing you can imagine. And God will see to it that you have a number of opportunities to prove to yourself the miracle of His grace. The proof is in a very practical test. You will find yourself saying, “If this had happened before, I would have had the spirit of resentment!”...
