For life to be enjoyed it must have a resource. That resource is Jesus Christ (John 14:6). To have this kind of life the believer must abide in Jesus (John 15:1-5).This kind of living is not for just a few, it is God's norm for ALL believers. If you do not have this abundant life in you, you will soon yield to the carnal life around you (1 Cor.3:1-4). This abundant life is Holy Spirit controlled. How to obtain this abundant life is no secret, it is revealed in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Faith that saves identifies you with Christ in His death-this is eternal life (Rom 6:10) Faith that yields identifies you with Christ in His resurrection-this is abundant life (Col.3:1-4). It is one thing to live in Christ (2Cor.5:17), it is another thing for Christ to live His life through you (Col.1:27).The abundant life begins when you yield to Him as Master, allowing Him to live His life through you by faith. You are to ,present. This is volitional surrender to the perfect will of God, even though you don't know God's perfect will for your life; it is on your part, an act of faith( John 7:17). God must control and use the whole man because your whole man was redeemed on the cross and sanctified for service(1 Thess.5:23). We have been changed by the power of God and no longer conformed to this world. We are to be separated unto the gospel of God, we are to come out from anything that is contrary to the perfect will of God (2 Cor.6:17). God the Father has the power to separate the believer unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thess.5:23).The Holy Spirit indwells every believer(1 Cor.6:19), but does the Holy Spirit have you, that He may fill you with the abundant life? Be filled with the Spirit is a command (Eph.5:18). You may be filled many times (Acts 2:4 and Acts 4:31). To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered, and Spirit-controlled (Acts 8:26-40). You are filled with the Spirit that you may have joy (Eph.5:19-20).Filled with the Spirit for service (Acts 6:3), Filled with the Spirit for power to witness (Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:4-7), Filled with the Spirit for the hour of persecution (Acts 7:54-60), Filled with the Spirit that you may walk in the Spirit (Gal.5:16-26), and we are filled with the Spirit that we may be led by the Spirit (Rom.8:14). To live life abundantly we have to be regenerated or recharged (Titus 3:5). How do we get regenerated or recharged? First, we must ask Him to regenerate us, second we must desire Him to regenerate us, and third we must believe that He regenerates us (John 7:37-38 and John 4:14). Father in the name of Jesus, I ask that You breathe on your message. I ask that You touch those who the message is for and that Your will be done.
