Isaiah 40:8
Preparing God's Word for your heart
“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
Isaiah 40:8
When is "that day"? When the Ascended Lord makes you one with the Father . In that day you wil be one with the Father as Jesus is, and "in that day ," Jesus says, "ye shal ask Me nothing." Until the resurrection life of Jesus is m anifested in you, you want to ask this and that; then after a while you find al questions gone, you do not seem to have any left to ask.
Y ou have come to the place of entire reliance on the resurrection life of Jesus which brings you into perfect contact with the purpose of God. Are you living that life now? If not, why shouldn't you?
There may be any number of things dark to your understanding, but they do not come in between your heart and God. "And in that day ye shal ask Me no question" - you do not need to, you are so certain that God wil bring things out in accordance with His wil . John 14:1 has become the real state of you r heart, and the re are no more questions to be asked.
If anything is a mystery to you and it is coming in between you and God, never look for the explanation in your intel ect, look for it in your disposition, it is that which is w rong. When once your disposition is wil ing to submit to the life of Jesus, the understanding wil be perfectly clear , and you wil get to the place where there is no distance between the Father a nd His child because the Lord has made you one, and "in that day ye shal ask Me no question."
Every godly prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished —“Before he had finished praying . . .” This is because Christ has pledged in His Word, “My Father will give you whatever you ask in my name” (John 16:23). When you ask in faith and in Christ’s name—that is, in oneness with Him and His will—“it will be done for you” (John 15:7).
Since God’s Word cannot fail, whenever we meet these simple conditions, the answer to our prayer has already been granted and is complete in heaven as we pray, even though it may not be revealed on earth until much later. Therefore it is wise to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer He has already given.
“Praise be to the LORD, . . . who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness.” (Genesis 24:27)
MESSAGES FOR THE MORNING WATCH When we believe God for a blessing, we must have an attitude of faith and begin to act and pray as if the blessing were already ours. We should respond to God as if He has granted our request. This attitude of trust means leaning upon Him for what we have claimed and simply taking it for granted that He has given us our request and will continue to give it.
When people get married, they immediately have a new perspective and begin to act accordingly. This is how it should be when we take Christ as our Savior, our Sanctifier, our Healer, or our Deliverer. He expects us to have a new perspective, in which we recognize Him in the capacity and the role we have trusted Him for, and in which we allow Him to be everything to us we have claimed by faith.
