The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Light of the World, #8

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." (John 14:23—NIV)

We cannot possibly inherit all God has promised except as the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

We cannot be the eternal Wife of the Lamb, the counterpart of Christ, a helper suitable for the Lamb, except as the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

We cannot be a gateway into the Presence of God except as the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

Our personality will not be a wall against sin except as the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

Our way of life will not be that of transparent gold, pure, undefiled, except as the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

We cannot be free from the need of the light of the sun and moon until the Father and the Son are dwelling in us.

The kings of the earth will not bring their wealth to us except as the Father and the Son dwell in us.

We will not be a tree of life and healing except as the Father and the Son dwell in us.

We cannot turn the Divine curse into Divine blessing except as the Father and the Son dwell in us.

We cannot see the Face of God except as the Father and the Son dwell in us.

We cannot be the light of the world except as the Father and the Son dwell in us.

We have been saved through the blood of the cross.

We have God's Spirit dwelling in us.

Now we are ready to enter the Kingdom of God, the rule of God through Christ in us.

Every preparation has been made. God has given His unchanging Word. He absolutely will do all we have described, all the Scriptures state, if we will but believe and walk patiently with Him.

He is our Father. He is more than willing to give us the Kingdom. It is His delight to do so.

God has created man in His image. In order to have a world filled with children in His image, children who will do His will, God must have a governing priesthood—brothers of Jesus Christ who are in the image of Christ. These shall serve as the light of the world so people will know how to please God, and will be free from the influence of Satan and his demons.

The removing of satanic influence from the earth, and the filling of the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, can be accomplished only by saints in whom the Father and the Son are dwelling.

Our task is not to go forth and deliver the world, as some are endeavoring to do today. Rather, our task, our responsibility is to walk carefully and obediently before the Lord so He can prepare us to be His eternal dwelling place.

God will never give His Glory to another. To receive the Glory of God so we can assist mankind in its numerous needs we must become part of God; then when God issues His Glory to us, He actually is giving it to Himself—keeping the Divine Glory in the family, you might say.

To continued.
