Put Trust in God First. Our Lord never put His trust in any person. Yet He was never suspicious, never bitter, and never lost hope for anyone, because He put His trust in God first. He trusted absolutely in what God’s grace could do for others. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dhlministries/support

“In that day you will ask in My name…,” that is, in My nature.

Until the resurrection life of Jesus is fully exhibited in you, you have questions about many things. Then after a while you find that all your questions are gone— you don’t seem to have any left to ask. You have come to the point of total reliance on the resurrection life of Jesus, which brings you into complete oneness with the purpose of God. Are you living that life now? If not, why aren’t you? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dhlministries/support...

Jesus said there is only one way to develop and grow spiritually, and that is through focusing and concentrating on God. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Do not worry about being of use to others; simply believe on Me.” In other words, pay attention to the Source, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dhlministries/support...
We have no experiences in our lives that correspond to the events in our Lord’s life after the transfiguration. From that moment forward His life was altogether substitutionary. Up to the time of the transfiguration, He had exhibited the normal, perfect life of a man. But from the transfiguration forward— Gethsemane, the Cross, the resurrection— everything is unfamiliar to us. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dhlministries/support...

If you are going through a time of isolation, seemingly all alone, read John 17 . It will explain exactly why you are where you are— because Jesus has prayed that you “may be one” with the Father as He is.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV Matt 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? KJV The great concern of our lives is not the kingdom of God but how we are going to take care of ourselves to live.

When a person is born again, there is a period of time when he does not have the same vitality in his thinking or reasoning that he previously had.

We are made “partakers of the divine nature,” receiving and sharing God’s own nature through His promises. Then we have to work that divine nature into our human nature by developing godly habits. The first habit to develop is the habit of recognizing God’s provision for us. 2Pet 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

We have to develop godly habits to express what God’s grace has done in us. It is not just a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved so that “the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” And it is adversity that makes us exhibit His life in our mortal flesh. 2Cor 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

If I am in the habit of continually holding God’s standard in front of me, my conscience will always direct me to God’s perfect law and indicate what I should do. The question is, will I obey?

When we first begin to form a habit, we are fully aware of it. There are times when we are aware of becoming virtuous and godly, but this awareness should only be a stage we quickly pass through as we grow spiritually. Is there some place where you are not at home with God? Then allow God to work through whatever that particular circumstance may be until you increase in Him, adding His qualities. KJV 2Pet 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] b...
The first thing God does is forcibly remove any insincerity, pride, and vanity from my life. And the Holy Spirit reveals to me that God loved me not because I was lovable, but because it was His nature to do so. Now He commands me to show the same love to others by saying, “…love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). 2Pet 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; KJV 2Pet 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindne...
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does and that God will not do what we can do.
