Good morning dear one!

When we confess Jesus as the Lord of our lives and truly believe it, we inherit all of the promises we read about in God’s Word. Living in God’s Word brings us under the umbrella of His protection, so that we will not lack for anything. Psalm 23:1 says,

• The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want!

When we ABIDE IN JESUS, we live a life infused with His power and strength so that we can accomplish what the world says is impossible. ABIDING IN JESUS is the same as ABIDING IN HIS WORD. It makes us one with Him in the same way that branches are one with the vine.

When we ABIDE IN JESUS, He gives us access to everything God has declared in the Bible. All the promises of God are made available to us! 2 Corinthians 1:20 declares,

• For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “YES” in Christ. And so through Him, the “AMEN” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

When we ABIDE IN JESUS, He becomes the vine that gives life to us, and we become His branches. It is because of Him that we bear fruit. Letting Him live in us means He will grant our requests. In John 15:5,7 Jesus says,

• “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 you ABIDE IN ME and MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”

THE WORD ABIDES IN US according to the measure in which we practice it and apply it to our lives. Remember, faith without works is dead (see James 2:20).

I encourage you speak the Word, act the Word, and ABIDE IN JESUS today!

Abiding in His Word,

Lisa Gordon💐
