Abide.
Psalm 91:1; Matthew 11:29
We are walking in today: Abide.
Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Abide means to wait for, to endure without yielding. This week so far God wants us to hold our peace knowing that our silence is a shield, He will hide us and now abide. The most important factor in our walk with Jesus, is to abide in Him. The more we abide in Christ the more we will have peace, victory over sins and be in His steps. Abide, to wait for, to endure without yielding, to bear patiently to accept without objections to remain stable or fixed in a state. To continue in a place--stay, continue, bear. To abide has to do with the concept of being instead of doing. Do, in relation to the Christian walk, is reading your Bible, going to church, praying, witnessing--doing good works. These are good things to do, as Christians. To abide in Christ--is to be in a being mode. We are still doing the things that God has called us to do--but we are doing it in His strength! Abiding in Christ is about having an intimate relationship with Him. The relationship is more important than the things, we do or don't do. The more we abide in Him, the more we will be faithful. We will hear His voice clearer. To abide is to experience His presence. Abide, to wait for--we as Christians need to spend much more time waiting on God. By this I mean, spending time with Him. Seeking His will, not jumping ahead of Him. To bear patiently, to abide in Christ. When we don't feel like it. To patiently wait on God to reveal His will and Himself. To endure, without yielding, being determined to experience God's presence! Abiding is a process, we don't get there overnight. So don't get discouraged if it seems hard. Just rest in Him!
God came by this morning, with a word to let us know that we must abide in Him! We need to take away everything--we need and must abide in the strength of God. Knowing that God has already provided and made provision for everything that we need. We have all understanding, and unspeakable joy from His presence. Seek Him, fiveamprayer! We must seek Him like never before! Every day that we walk with Him, we will draw closer and closer to Him! We come to You, Lord steadfast, unmoving standing on Your word! He is our way, we come to abide--receive renewed strength. Fiveamprayer, continue, bear--lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us. We are to cast our cares, for He cares for us! We are seeking more of You and less of us. We want to see Your glory. To see Your face. Our answer is nevertheless, Thy will be done! We come to abide in You, God. We will wait to see the manifestation, Lord. We wait for the revelation of Your word. Seeking after You--with You there is nothing that we can't do. Abiding in You, Lord with our mind stayed on You, You keep us in perfect peace. As You hide us, we walk as You would have us to walk. We can stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. We are waiting on You, looking to the hills from which comes our help, our help comes from the Lord! We come to abide in You, Lord. Endure without yielding. Stable in a fixed state. He will never put more on us than we can bear. Be still and know that He is God! He knows the end from the beginning. Abide in His word. Fiveamprayer, stand on His word. Don't waiver in your walk or talk--be in a state of being. No fear, worry or doubt. He knows the plans that He has for us, to give us an expected end. We have to get into His presence. Abide. Remain. Reside. Abode. Dwell. Tarry. Linger. Fiveamprayer this all speaks to an intimacy with God that we must have to know more about Him. To be able to really walk in all of His promises to be able to walk in the authority and dominion that He has already given us! How else do you learn how to be and take authority?! Being in the presence of one with more authority than you and watch and see how they handle things. What kind of response do they have? Do they have a wise response? That they are focused, not being blown hither and yon? Will you stick to your decision? Does your decision have a solid foundation or will it crumble? To be re-visited again? Rest. Reside. Abide. Tarry. Wait. Abode. Linger. Fiveamprayer, be not moved by anything that you see in the natural, what is in the spirit? That is what we are looking to. God has us in a position of waiting in His presence as He surrounds us, covers us and keeps us--totally secure. You are the only one that can undo this! Don't walk away nor move or speak out of turn. Stay. Remain. Abide. Wait. Abide in His word! He is the Lord God Almighty, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Emmanuel when He shows up, He shows out, but You must abide with Him. Hold your peace, He will hide you, now abide in Him. It is not about you, it is about God. Wait for Him, patiently--seeking His will. Endure somethings, you can't just give up! Endure until the end. Hold on until your changes comes. He told us this is the year that we will see! We must learn to wait on the Lord. One of the fruits of the spirit is long suffering. We have to wait sometime. Abide in Him as He hides us! Seek His face. Endure, bear it all, continue without yielding. Make your abode in His word, fiveamprayer! We come to lift up fiveamprayer, this morning--Lord have them to abide in Your word, waiting patiently for You. We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, You are telling them to endure and abide in You. We have learned that weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning! We come to You, Lord asking for forgiveness, for wanting to get out of position and trying to be god. You told us to have no other gods before You. That would include ourselves. We must lay all of those other gods down. Thank You Lord for forgiving us! We know that if we don't forgive others, You will not forgive us! We must not allow our prayers to be hindered, because of unforgiveness. When our prayers are hindered, the devil is not required to listen to our rebuke.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I will abide!
Welcome to the overflow...
No matter how it looks, or what you are faced with or feeling--in your marriage, in you finances, you must wait and endure for the Lord. He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Lord! We must stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! Thank You Lord for this word, abide. Wait--don't get out of position--bear, endure. Don't waiver, fiveamprayer, be still and know that He is God! Get into relationship with Him. Hear Him clearly, don't get out of position. Wait upon the Lord, He shall renew your strength! Show us how to wait, Lord. Don't move, fret or fear--abide. Let patience have it's perfect work. Watch God work it out. Be there and see God's glory! Just abide in His word. Our soul, is steadfast, unmoveable--abiding in His word! Take your mind off of it, lay it down, at His feet. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Abide in the True Vine, thank You God! I don't know if you have noticed, but God is teaching us to be still so far this week. He is about to show Himself mighty He is hiding us and now we are to abide in Him. He is teaching us to be still and wait, endure and long suffering. Wait for God in that situation, that you are in. He is hiding you, just enjoy the presence of the Lord! The enemy can't see you! Abide in Him! Seek Him like never before! We are hid in the shadow of the Almighty--now it is just you and God! You will be able to hear Him like never before! You are so covered right now! Fiveamprayer is tied up, wrapped up in, entangled in God! There is a big shadow over you! Thank You God! He has us wrapped up so tight that we can't move! He is covering us! If you walk away from this covering, there is nothing shielding nor protecting you! Don't say a word, He is covering you! Stay right there! He choose you! When the enemy comes in like a flood, God will lift up a standard against it. Fiveamprayer He is covering us! Thank You Lord! Abide in Him! We are covered by the Lord God Almighty! It's is about His strength not ours! Abide in Him! Wait. Endure. Remain. Stay. Stable. Fixed state. His omnipresence is all around you! That is why you are not broken nor falling apart in this thing. God is keeping us and covering us, because you are abiding in Him. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Abide. Remain. Reside. We are not to lean to our own understanding, we are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways, so that He will direct our path. We are wrapped up and tangled in God. Hide us as we abide in You. Fiveamprayer is in the shadow of the Most High God! Hallelujah! Have a blessed day, visit us on facebook!
