Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

John 5:19, “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”

To fully appreciate the significance of having a change in the source of our living, we need to consider the example of the Lord Jesus.

Consider the source from which the Lord lived, from which He did everything.

His base of operation was constantly the Father.

This means that the Lord Himself, in His humanity, did not take His self as His source.

Rather, He was one with the Father.

This oneness came out of His continual fellowship with the Father in the Word (Matt. 4:4), in prayer (Luke 5:16-17), and in crying “Abba, Father” (Mark 14:36).

As He lived a life of fellowship with the Father, He lived a life of absolute dependence.

The source of His life was exclusively the Father.

He denied and terminated His soul-life, and He lived out the Father’s life.

Now the Lord wants to reproduce this same dependent relationship in our experience.

This dependent relationship proceeds from the source of our spirit.

It does not proceed from the self-life.

This dependency issues in the building of the church, the shutting of the gates of Hades, and the crushing of Satan.

So it is crucial for us to see that God’s goal is that we no longer operate out of the base of our independent self.

Rather, we are dependent, reliant, trusting Him moment by moment about everything, including our thought life, our reactions, our fears, our problems, our whole way of living.

We are persons in whom the absolute dependent life of the Son of God is being reproduced.

Until Tomorrow,
