“Abide”
The Lord has been speaking of abiding for several days now! I felt this is a word He is speaking to the corporate body!
It is no doubt that much for the Kingdom of Heaven is breaking out across our land! If we do not see that, then we are blind to put it plainly!
I feel the Lord speaking a word though of abiding and to remain! Maybe somewhat of a warning or reminder to keep in our pockets to continuously pull out!
Of course celebrate all you see God doing in this season! It’s breakthrough and answered prayer from years of many believers contending and interceding. I am one of those who has been contending for 25 years and fighting for a young generation! So I am celebrating with you in what we are seeing sweep across our land!
I say all of that to share this I feel the Lord is spurring me on to speak.
To abide and to remain is of utmost importance even in all we are seeing. I find in the celebrating we can quickly lose sight of the WHO we are celebrating. So ABIDING is the key! Do not stray from abiding in Him in the secret place. Do not stray from intercession in the secret place over this young generation and for them to get rooted and grounded now that they have come alive. Do not stray from exalting the Only One who is Worthy. Remain eyes fixed on the prize and tucked in the Shadow of His Wing as His fire spreads! There is so much more He is bringing. But I believe His heart is that those He has breathed on REMAIN and ABIDE! We can do nothing apart from abiding! He is not only the Source of the MAIN ATTRACTION, but HE is the MAIN ATTRACTION! “THE EPICENTER”
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
John 15:4-7 NKJV
““I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.””
John 17:20-26 NKJV
Let us remain and continue to ABIDE in CHRIST! Only there will we be directed of how to step next and continue to carry HIS FIRE!
