| I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. |
| John 15:5 |
In more than two decades of
ministry, I have learned this from the Lord: Without Him, we cannot.
Without us, He will not. What this simply means is that we need to
recognize the fact that if we do not depend on Jesus, there can be no
real, long-lasting and abiding success—without Him, we cannot. Believers
who want to experience His success need to recognize this truth and
begin to depend on Jesus and Jesus alone.
So what do I mean when I say,
“Without us, He will not”? Well, Jesus is a gentleman. He will not force
His unmerited favor and success down your throat. He needs you to allow
Him to work in your life. He waits patiently for you to trust Him. He
waits patiently for you to depend on His unmerited favor.
Beloved, God’s unmerited favor is
ever-flowing toward us and Jesus is waiting for us to come to the end
of ourselves. He is waiting for you to stop struggling in your own
attempts to somehow “deserve” His favor, and just depend on Him. So in
the areas that you are still depending on your own efforts to succeed,
start resting in Jesus’ unmerited favor and begin experiencing His
manifested presence and glory upon everything you touch
