Isaiah 55:11 – “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

As I prayed, read, and meditated in the Word, several things filled my consciousness.  Jesus never got the Father’s directive wrong.  We do.   Our impressions, visions, dreams, or prophecies are not 100% accurate, but His were.

I can hear the protests, “But, Roy, Jesus was perfect, and He is God.”  Yes, He lived perfectly.  Yes, He is God.  However, He lived as fully man. Otherwise, He wouldn’t be our example, nor could His death atone for our sins.

God cannot experience physical death.  Only humans can know that fate. God is spirit, and you can’t kill spirit with physical death.  Jesus lived in constant contact with the Father. He only did what He saw and only said what He heard from the Father.   He is “in” us through the new birth.   

John 15:7 – “If you abide in Me AND My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

Therefore, “if” Jesus is “in” us and living His life “through” us, and He is “in” constant contact with the Father, which means we “are” in constant contact with the Father.   Our problem is that we refuse to die to self and fully surrender to Him. We try to live the Christian life by human effort instead of trusting Him to live His life through us.

If we truly become One with Him, we will experience Oneness with the Father and hear and see clearly.  We do not have to miss it and live lives cluttered with our biases, prejudices, preferences, and desires.

John said in 1 John 2:5-6 that we are intimate with God by walking in the footsteps of Jesus. We can only walk in His footsteps by being “in” Him, and He “in” us.

Christ “in” us living His life “through” us enables us to live as 1 John 4:11, permanently in His presence.   If we live permanently in His presence, we are in constant contact with the Father. That means we Hear and See Him perfectly.

That is attainable, but Only by abiding in Jesus and His Word abiding in us. It is by totally dying to self and receiving His life as our life. It is there; He lives “in” us and “through” us.  My desire and goal is total surrender of Everything of me to receive Everything of Him.

Be encouraged that He Never Fails!   Have a fantastic day!
