Within us

IS HE WITHIN US?
 And he said to them all,
If any man will come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take
up his cross daily, and follow
me.
Luke 9:23 (KJV)
How to?
“…take up his cross daily…”

Luke 9:23 (KJV)

“Be earnest; be resolute. Present
the promise of God, and then
believe without a doubt. Do
not wait to feel special
emotions before you think the
Lord answers…
Do not mark out some particular
way that the Lord must work for
you before you believe you
receive the things you ask of
Him; but trust His word,…
and leave the whole matter in
the hands of the Lord, with
full faith that your prayer will
be honored, and the answer
will come at the very time
and…
in the very way your heavenly
Father sees is for your good;
and then live out your prayers.
Walk humbly and keep
moving forward.”
.—(Messages to Young People, 123.)
 Jesus interceded.
He wants us to pray
for others too.
 ”A revival need be expected only
in answer to prayer. While the
people are so destitute of God's
Holy Spirit, they cannot
appreciate the preaching of the
Word;..
but when the Spirit's power touches
their hearts, then the discourses
given will not be without effect…
Guided by the teachings of God's
Word, with the manifestation of
His Spirit, in the exercise of
sound discretion,
those who attend our meetings will
gain a precious experience, and
returning home, will be prepared
to exert a healthful influence.”

.—(True Revival 9.1)

 For our prayers to
take effect, we should
ask for the Holy Spirit
to be within us.
“If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
“Pray in faith. And be sure to bring your
lives into harmony with your petitions,
that you may receive the blessings for
which you pray. Let not
your faith weaken, for the blessings
received are proportionate to
the faith exercised…
“…According to your faith be it unto
you.”“All things, whatsoever ye shall
ask in prayer, believing,
ye shall receive…” 
Matthew 9:29; Matthew 21:22.
Pray, believe, rejoice. Sing praises to
God because He has answered your
prayers. Take Him at His word. “He
is faithful that promised…” 
Hebrews 10:23.
Not one sincere supplication is lost.
The channel is open; the stream is
flowing. It carries with it healing
properties, pouring forth a restoring
current of
life and health and salvation.”
(Testimonies for the Church 7:274.) 
Our petitions
are not
wasted.
“For a multitude of the people, even many of
Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and
Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did
they eat the passover otherwise than it was
written. But Hezekiah prayed for them,
saying, The good LORD pardon every one…
 …that prepareth his heart to seek God,
the LORD God of his fathers, though he
be not cleansed according to the
purification of the sanctuary.
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and
healed the people.
2 Chronicles 30:18-20 (KJV)
