Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, \u2019Father, I thank You that You have heard Me\u2019 \u2014John 11:41<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

When the Son of God prays, He is mindful and consciously aware of only His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God has been formed in me (see\u00a0Galatians 4:19<\/a>) the Father will always hear my prayers. But I must see to it that the Son of God is exhibited in my human flesh. \u201c. . . your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit . . . \u201d (1 Corinthians 6:19<\/a>), that is, your body is the Bethlehem of God\u2019s Son. Is the Son of God being given His opportunity to work in me? Is the direct simplicity of His life being worked out in me exactly as it was worked out in His life while here on earth? When I come into contact with the everyday occurrences of life as an ordinary human being, is the prayer of God\u2019s eternal Son to His Father being prayed in me? Jesus says, \u201cIn that day you will ask in My name . . .\u201d (John 16:26<\/a>). What day does He mean? He is referring to the day when the Holy Spirit has come to me and made me one with my Lord.<\/p>\n

Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly satisfied by your life, or are you exhibiting a walk of spiritual pride before Him? Never let your common sense become so prominent and forceful that it pushes the Son of God to one side. Common sense is a gift that God gave to our human nature\u2014 but common sense is not the gift of His Son. Supernatural sense is the gift of His Son, and we should never put our common sense on the throne. The Son always recognizes and identifies with the Father, but common sense has never yet done so and never will. Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God. We must make sure that our human flesh is kept in perfect submission to Him, allowing Him to work through it moment by moment. Are we living at such a level of human dependence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being exhibited moment by moment in us?<\/p>\n

Good Morning, Lord.<\/p>\n

It is true that we (I) get tangled up trying to use logic and rationality and common sense \u2026 and miss out on some of your uncommon blessings. \u00a0 I\u2019m reminded of Mary and Martha. \u00a0 You didn\u2019t tell Martha that the meal didn\u2019t need to get prepared, but as she was preparing it, she was stressing out. \u00a0 I relate to that. \u00a0 How do we do stressful things without the stress? \u00a0 Of course I know the answer \u2026 \u2026 as we abide in you, rest in you, have relationship with you.<\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

But how to do that is the challenge. \u00a0 Do you have any tips \u2026 that I haven\u2019t tried?\u00a0 You know this isn\u2019t\u00a0 a new concept to me \u2026 but getting (regular) victory in it \u2026 that would be new and a very nice thing.<\/p>\n

\u2026 a few hours later \u2026 I thought I would let this simmer and see if you would make anything clear. \u00a0 Not so much on the question, but I\u2019ve been seeing your hand at work in other ways. \u00a0 Finding things that had been lost, inventing new ways of using tools and designing the deck that I\u2019ve been working on \u2026 but nothing new on how to strike the Mary – Martha balance.<\/p>\n

Are you looking for a magic pill?\u00a0 A silver bullet?\u00a0 A secret formula?\u00a0 \u00a0 There isn\u2019t one. \u00a0 So Satan would like to keep you and your friends looking for one,\u00a0 preaching and teaching and writing books about it.\u00a0 \u00a0 Meanwhile some skip that whole debate and search and just come to me. \u00a0 Abiding is a pretty good word picture of it.\u00a0 \u00a0 It means living with someone.\u00a0 You dont need a formula.\u00a0 You just move in. \u00a0 And have meals together and talk and share thoughts and dreams. \u00a0 So abide with me and forget the formulas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
