Keep The Focus

The Beloved Disciple wrote in John chapter 14:

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority;but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

Jesus contains the attributes of FATHER and every action taken by Jesus reflects FATHER’S Divine Intent.  We should study the Words and actions of Jesus to gain perspective of FATHER so that when we hear that still, small voice we can recognize it.

Everyday we are presented with alternatives to Christ and thus it can be a challenge to keep things “fresh” between us and Christ.  The complexities of the world can overwhelm  our senses and dilute our focus on Love.  Although Love seems “low-tech” it is truly more sophisticated than the largest of computers for Love and Its Divine Intent make the world go around.  It provides the “glue” to our bodies’ function according to their design.  It we could simply grasp that reality, we would be way ahead in our lives producing greater fruit on behalf of the Kingdom.

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

Can technology answer your prayers?  Technology can only respond according to what man has programmed it to do whereas in FATHER there is no such limitation.  Each of us is being faced with greater challenges than we endured in the past.  Let us never give up, knowing that FATHER has our bet interest at heart.  People need a physical example to relate to so FATHER sent HIS Son for such a purpose.  Let us each take the opportunity to read, study, and meditate on the Words and actions of Jesus this day.

Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

He is our Source and example so let us enter the same flow as Our Elder Brother and be strengthened in order that we are able to deal with those things confronting us today.  Let us remain diligent in our quest toward maturity in Christ.  Some of us will undoubtedly have greater challenges than others but the same anointing can break the yoke of bondage in either case.  We must not underestimate the key to health and healing and that source is found in Christ.
