Day 2: Deeper Faith

Day 2: Deeper Faith / Abiding in Christ 

“The Lord would have all His sons and daughters happy, peaceful, and obedient. Through the exercise of faith, the believer comes into possession of these blessings. Through faith, every deficiency of character may be supplied, every defilement cleansed, every fault corrected, every excellence developed” (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 564).

“With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).

“For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:6-7).

“The very time to exercise faith is when we feel destitute of the Spirit. When thick clouds of darkness seem to hover over the mind, then is the time to let living faith pierce the darkness and scatter the clouds. True faith rests on the promises contained in the word of God, and those only who obey that word can claim its glorious promises” (Christian Experiences & Teachings, 126).

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him” (Hebrews 10:38).

 “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Intercession Focus – Abiding in Christ:

  • Continual communion with God 
  • Openness to receiving the Holy Spirit 
  • Unreserved surrender to God’s love 
  • Clinging to Jesus in faith 
  • Receiving His strength and life 
  • Accepting His overcoming righteousness 
  • Bearing much fruit for God’s glory 
  • Walking in continual obedience



THE LORD IS COMING, SOON, AMEN, YES, COME LORD JESUS!
