PRAYER IN THE FATHER'S HEARING
Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.
John 11:41
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=joh+11:41&sr=1
When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that
consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His
Son, and if the Son of God is formed in me the Father will always
hear my prayers. I have to see that the Son of God is manifested in
my mortal flesh. "Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost," i.e.,
the Bethlehem of the Son of God. Is the Son of God getting His chance
in me? Is the direct simplicity of the life of God's Son being worked
out exactly as it was worked out in His historic life? When I come in
contact with the occurrences of life as an ordinary human being, is
the prayer of God's Eternal Son to His Father being prayed in me? "In
that day ye shall ask in My name. . . ." What day? The day when the
Holy Ghost has come to me and made me effectually one with my Lord.
Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly satisfied in your life or
have you got a spiritual strut on? Never let common sense obtrude and
push the Son of God on one side. Common sense is a gift which God
gave to human nature; but common sense is not the gift of His Son.
Supernatural sense is the gift of His Son; never enthrone common
sense. The Son detects the Father; common sense never yet detected
the Father and never will. Our ordinary wits never worship God unless
they are transfigured by the indwelling Son of God. We have to see
that this mortal flesh is kept in perfect subjection to Him and that
He works through it moment by moment. Are we living in such human
dependence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being manifested moment
by moment?
