COMPLETENESS IN HIM!

August 19-20, 2017
COMPLETENESS IN HIM!
Matthew 11:28
“Come unto Me…and I will give you rest.”

“Come unto Me” -  for Christ-consciousness!
“…and, I will give you rest” - from self-consciousness!
Christ-consciousness will take the place of
Self-consciousness.

     Self-consciousness is the first thing that will upset the  
             completeness of the life in God.
     Self-consciousness continually produces wrestling.
     Self-consciousness is not sin, but it will divide the intimacy of oneness in Christ.  
             If self-consciousness continues it will slowly awaken self-pity; and self-pity is a sin!
     Beware of anything or anyone that will make you
             to see yourself separately from Him!

NOTHING is so important as to keep right spiritually!
The great solution is a simple one –
“Come unto Me.”

IF we come to Him and
ask Him to produce Christ-consciousness,
He will always do it until we learn to abide in Him!

Lord, prove Your consciousness in me.

The complete life is the life of a child. 
The Child of God is not conscious of the will of God because he is the will of God.
A Child of God never prays to be conscious that God answers prayer, 
he is so restfully certain that God always does answer prayer!

IF we try to overcome self-consciousness by common sense, 
we will become more consumed in it!
Jesus establishes the rest of perfection of activity
that is never conscious of itself!
“…When did we?” (Matthew 25:37)

Prayers
 Lord, I am so slowly learning to abide in You.  Too slow for my anxious heart.  MORE of You and less of me…please make it so!  Remove ALL my preconceived ideas that are based on my flesh and open my eyes and heart to Your life and Your world, and who I am in You.  Be real in me, and fill me with ALL of YOU…and
 be glorified!

 Oh Lord, thank You for More of YOU!  Self-conscious may not be sin but it sure leads the way to self-pity that is.  Thank You for the joy of being Your Child and learning to be like You – completely!
Reveal the More that awaits to make me in Christ as well as Christ in me.  AMEN. ~Betty
