Never allow anything to remain in your life that is causing the unrest. Think of every detail of your life that is causing the disintegration as something to fight against, not as something you should allow to remain. 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\u2019t allow yourself to say, \u201cWell, they have just misunderstood me, and this is something over which they should be apologizing to me; I\u2019m sure I must have this cleared up with them already.\u201d 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.A complete life is the life of a child. When I am fully conscious of my awareness of Christ, there is something wrong. It is the sick person who really knows what health is. A child of God is not aware of the will of God because he is the will of God. When we have deviated even slightly from the will of God, we begin to ask, \u201cLord, what is your will?\u201d A child of God never prays to be made aware of the fact that God answers prayer, because he is so restfully certain that God always answers prayer.If we try to overcome our self-awareness through any of our own commonsense methods, we will only serve to strengthen our self-awareness tremendously. Jesus says, \u201cCome to Me\u2026and I will give you rest,\u201d that is, Christ-awareness will take the place of self-awareness. Wherever Jesus comes He establishes rest\u2014 the rest of the completion of activity in our lives that is never aware of itself.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>August 20 2015<\/p>\n<p>Journal Entry for Today-JDV<\/p>\n<p>Good morning Lord. In this devotional Chambers tells me that if I even think about Your will I am not in your will; that the way to determine if we are living in your oneness is that we do not question or doubt our connection with You at all. We simply live as a child, complete You\u2026..\u201d<em>Simply ask the Lord to give you Christ-awareness, and He will steady you until your completeness in Him is absolute. A complete life is the life of a child.\u201d <\/em> So Lord, if this is the case, then it seems that whenever I worry or am anxious, fearful or unsettled, then I am not connected? Could it be that being unsettled, or not living a carefree childlike connectedness, are indicators that I am not surrendered and connected to You?<\/p>\n<p>And God says\u2026\u201dA fish does not notice that it lives in the stream, but it does take notice whenever it is taken out of the water. And living in Me is a state that you most often do not notice except when you choose to step out of My will, or simply take your life and issues into your own hands. Live in oneness with Me through surrender, connection, curiosity, and an obedience that is possible as you allow Me to live through you. Make this your normal and then pain, worry, fear, anxiety \u2026all your cares belong to Me as a child\u2019s cares belong to the parents. Allow the cares of this world to only be indicators for your instant and ongoing surrender, connection, curiosity and obedience\u2026..\u2026..\u201d<em>Simply ask the Lord to give you Christ-awareness, and He will steady you until your completeness in Him is absolute.
