Janet WalmsleyHeron@janetwalmsley-heron@ YouTube.com. A CHRISTIAN BOOK 'ABSOLUTE SURRENDER' CHAPTER 4 'THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL' 1) CHRIST had HIS LIFE from GOD. 2) HE LIVED it in DEPENDENCE UPON GOD. 3) HE GAVE IT UP in DEATH to GOD. 4) HE RECEIVED in the RESURRECTION from GOD. 5) HE ASCENDED to GOD. 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 24-28 "Then COMETH the END, when HE shall have DELIVERED up the KINGDOM to GOD, even the FATHER when HE shall have put down ALL RULE and ALL AUTHORITY and POWER. For HE must REIGN till HE HATH put ALL ENEMIES under HIS FEET. The LAST ENEMY that shall be DESTROYED is DEATH. For HE HATH put ALL things UNDER HIS FEET. But when HE SAITH, ALL things are UNDER HIM., it is MANIFEST that HE is EXCEPTED which did put ALL THINGS UNDER HIM. And when ALL things shall be SUBDUED unto HIM, then shall the SON also HIMSELF be SUBJECTED unto HIM that put ALL THINGS UNDER HIM. THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL. that to the whole AIM of CHRIST's COMING and the whole of REDEMPTION and the whole AIM of CHRIST'S work in our HEART is summed up in that ONE THOUGHT.... "That GOD may be ALL in ALL.!! LOOK AT HIS BIRTH: HE RECEIVED HIS LIFE from GOD, it was an ACT of GOD's OMNIPOTENCE that HE was BORN of the VIRGIN MARY. It was from GOD that HE had HIS MISSION. LOOk at the NEXT STEP: The LIFE CHRIST had as MAN to MAINTAIN. HE had to MAINTAIN it in the POWER that GOD gave HIM. HOW DID HE DO IT? HE tells us. "I CAN DO NOTHING by MYSELF" HE thereby taught us that the only things that life is worth living for is to GIVE it BACK to GOD even unto DEATH. CHRIST could NEVER have ascended to SIT upon the THRONE, NEVER could have ACCOMPLISHED HIS WORK of preparing the KINGDOM that HE could give to the FATHER, if HE had NOT begun by GIVING UP HIMSELF and let GOD DO ALL. TAKE TIME and TROUBLE to GIVE GOD HIS PLACE. STUDY YOUR GOD, MEDITATE MORE UPON YOUR GOD than you have done and try to find out whatr place that GOD DESIRES to take. DO NOT be CONTENT with the SORT of VAGUE CONCEPTION. Then FURTHER ACCEPT the WILL of GOD. NOT ONLY in the BIBLE but also in PROVIDENCE. ANDREW MURRAY FINDS THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS HAVE NEVER LEARNED that LESSON. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS? IN THY STRENGTH I LAY ME DOWN CLAY WITHIN the POTTERS's HANDS. MOULDED by THY GENTLE WILL. MIGHTIER than ALL COMMANDS. MOVED and SHAPED by THEE ALONE, NOW and EVERMORE THINE OWN. IS THAT TRUE OF YOU? GOD is WILLING to MOULD YOU as REALLY as the POTTER MOULDS HIS CLAY. HE WILL DO IT. LET IS BELIEVE IT and TRUST HIS MIGHTY POWER and LET US TRUST HIS POWER ESPECIALLY to fo THINGS ABOVE OUR CONCEPTION or ABOVE WHAT WE COULD ASK or THINK. GOD is WAITING to DO for YOU. MORE THAN YOU CAN EVEN CONCEIVE. EVERY YEARNING of YOUR HEART, EVERY MESSAGE that YOU have HEARD, of which YOU have SAID. I WISH I HAD THAT. EVERY PRAYER YOU HAVE SENT UP. OH JUST BELIEVE that GOD is WILLING to WORK it ALL in YOU and that HE is WAITING to DO IT: that in EVERY DIFFICULTY, in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. GOD is THERE to WORK in YOU. TRUST in HIM and HONOUR HIM and let HIM BE. "ALL in ALL"!!!!!!!
