Believing that Messiah must abide in our hearts, and not
understanding that WE are the ones who must abide in HIM first.
(Ie:
Ask Jesus into your heart, to abide in you to be saved. Did you
know
this concept is not even in the Bible.) Don't misunderstand,
there is
nothing wrong with asking Jesus Christ to come into our lives... we should do
that. But we are a selfish people and need to understand that we
must be the ones who seek Him.
Read this scripture with this understanding. He is not in us
until we
are first in Him.
John 15:2-11
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear
more
fruit. You are already clean BECAUSE OF THE WORD which I have
spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear
fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so 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, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you
can do
nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a
branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into
the
fire and they are burned. If you abide in Me, AND MY WORDS ABIDE
IN YOU, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My
Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so
PROVE
TO BE MY DISCIPLES (a disciple is a student of the Word) Just as
the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My
love. If
you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I
have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These
things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and
that
your joy may be made full.
Why did God love David?
Acts 13:22
After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king,
concerning whom He also testified and said, 'I have found David
the
son of Jesse, a man after My heart , who will do all My will.'
...Because he was after God's own heart. So don't just ask Jesus
into your heart, tell the Father that you want to be let into
HIS heart
and seek to do His will. Then the Father and the Son will
make their
home in you.
John 14:23-24
Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he
will keep
My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him
and
make Our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep
My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the
Father's
who
sent Me."
