From Faith to Faith -- Daily Devotional December`1, 2013 Abide in the Word - Kenneth Copeland If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. – John 15:7 That word abide is so important. When Jesus told us to obey His commandments and keep His Word, He wasnt just telling us to follow a bunch of religious rules and regulations. He was telling us to allow His Word--which is a living thing!--to make its home within us. He was telling us to spend time with it, to meditate on it, to fill our minds and our mouths with it, and to let it guide our every action. The Apostle Paul put it this way, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... (Col. 3:16). Most believers dont have any idea what that means. Thats one of the reasons theyre so short on power. Oral Roberts once said that when the Word is really abiding in you, when its alive and producing like it should, you can hear it. You know what its like when you get a song on your mind and you just keep hearing it over and over inside you? Well, when you start abiding in the Word, youre probably going to hear it in much that same way. Many times, Ive been in desperate situations, wondering what I was going to do when suddenly Id hear a scripture down on the inside of me. Suddenly, Id know exactly what the answer to my situation was. Id be delivered by the Word of God that was dwelling in me. So, invite the Holy Spirit to go to work on your behalf. Just keep telling Him, Whatever You bring to my remembrance from the Word is exactly what Im going to act on. Im going to be obedient to every command of Jesus that You bring to mind. Make a quality decision to abide in the Word. Youll soon discover that the Word is abiding in you. Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:1-16
