Meditate
On
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.
John
15:5
Without Jesus We Cannot, Without Us
He Will Not
In
more than two decades of ministry, I have learned this from the Lord: Without
Him, we cannot. Without us, He will not. What this simply means is that we need
to recognize the fact that if we do not depend on Jesus, there can be no real,
long-lasting and abiding success—without Him, we cannot. Believers who want to
experience His success need to recognize this truth and begin to depend on
Jesus and Jesus alone.
So
what do I mean when I say, “Without us, He will not”? Well, Jesus is a
gentleman. He will not force His unmerited favor and success down your throat.
He needs you to allow Him to work in your life. He waits patiently for you to
trust Him. He waits patiently for you to depend on His unmerited favor.
Beloved,
God’s unmerited favor is ever-flowing toward us and Jesus is waiting for us to
come to the end of ourselves. He is waiting for you to stop struggling in your
own attempts to somehow “deserve” His favor, and just depend on Him. So in the
areas that you are still depending on your own efforts to succeed, start
resting in Jesus’ unmerited favor and begin experiencing His manifested
presence and glory upon everything you touch!
