Complete and Effective Dominion

My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/complete-and-effective-dominion/

Death no longer has dominion over Him.…the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God…
ROMANS 6:9-11

Even the weakest saint can experience the power of the deity of the Son of God, when he is willing to “let go.” But any effort to “hang on” to the least bit of our own power will only diminish the life of Jesus in us. We have to keep letting go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us, penetrating every part. Then Jesus will have complete and effective dominion in us, and people will take notice that we have been with Him.

I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

OneWalk: Under the Sun, with the Son

Today’s Bible Verse, Reading, Devotion, Worship Song and Prayer

Today’s verse

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 3:13–14

Philippians 3
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+3&version=NLT

Philippians 3:8-9 NLT
[8] Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ [9] and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.

THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work My ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.
To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
—Psalm 118:24

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
—Hebrews 3:13

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. ‘I press on’ focusing on You, fighting off all distractions and attempts by the evil one to separate me from You. Knowing in You and through You, one step at a time. You will guide me through whatever crosses my path. This faith and hope I have in You because of You. Knowing the peace and comfort of oneness with You. I start my day in Your presence and praying without ceasing for me and mine, and lifting up those You place in my path. Please head my prayers. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

Today’s verse

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

1 Peter 2
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+2&version=NLT

1 Peter 2:21-25 NLT
[21] For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.
[22] He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.
[23] He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
[24] He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
[25] Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.

Jesus Calling
http:/www.jesuscalling.com/app/

TRUST ME IN EVERY DETAIL of your life. Nothing is random in My kingdom. Everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to those who love Me. Instead of trying to analyze the intricacies of the pattern, focus your energy on trusting Me and thanking Me at all times. Nothing is wasted when you walk close to Me. Even your mistakes and sins can be recycled into something good through My transforming grace.

While you were still living in darkness, I began to shine the Light of My Presence into your sin-stained life. Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire into My marvelous Light. Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life.

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”
—Jeremiah 17:7

He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.
—Psalm 40:2 amp

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
—1 Peter 2:9 nkjv

Today’s verse

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
—Colossians 3:17 nkjv

Today’s reading
Colossians 3
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+3&version=NLT

Colossians 3:1-5 NLT
[1] Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. [2] Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. [3] For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. [5] So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

Jesus Calling
http:/www.jesuscalling.com/app/

I AM WITH YOU AND FOR YOU, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with Me and for Me. Though I never leave you, you can essentially “leave” Me by ignoring Me: thinking or acting as if I am not with you. When you feel distance in our relationship, you know where the problem lies. My Love for you is constant; I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. It is you who change like shifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that.

When you feel far from Me, whisper My Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to My Presence. Speak to Me in love-tones; prepare to receive My Love, which flows eternally from the cross. I am delighted when you open yourself to My loving Presence.

“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
—Genesis 28:15

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
—Romans 8:31

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Today’s prayer
Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord, Savior and Truth. As one of my favorite verses states today ‘whatever (I) you do in word or deed, (I) do all in (Your name) the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.’ For the fight to focus on You is won in the little things we do each day. Just as busyness can separate us from You, so can the mundane and boredom of the our routines. So I am constantly crying out Your name ‘Jesus’ to bring You into the conscious moment with me. Whether anger, impure thoughts or selfishness, I try to turn to You to rescue me from myself and the ways under the sun. Help Jesus! I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen

Why We Lack Understanding
My Utmost for His Highest
https://utmost.org/why-we-lack-understanding/

God cannot reveal anything to us if we don’t have His Spirit. And our own unyielding and headstrong opinions will effectively prevent God from revealing anything to us.

Wisdom from Oswald Chambers

Jesus Christ is always unyielding to my claim to my right to myself. The one essential element in all our Lord’s teaching about discipleship is abandon, no calculation, no trace of self-interest.

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Lord and Savior. My TRUTH. Like it says in John 1:2 ‘He (You) existed in the beginning with God.’ ‘The truth is in the details’ of life, which the busyness of life forces us to over look. This is why I (we) need quite one in one time with You. You know me (us) better than we know ourselves. Whether in praying or confessing, You already know more than we do about what we pray or confess. So it is for our benefit that we must be reconciled to You through prayer and confession. It is where we find our true selves. Where we learn to understand and forgive. Pull me closer, give me more insight and wisdom. I love You, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank You. Amen
