This song gives me strength whenever I am weak. It makes my faith in God stronger, when I face a strong challenge and gives me resounding victory when it’s like all hope is lost.
I woke up with the hymn lyrics dropping in heart, telling me the good and greater things God has done for me and the ones I so much believe he will still do... Can't take my mind off reading meanings into each and every word in the hymn.....
I was praying this hymn for my son, and Jesus whispered, "your son is already seated with Me in the Heavenly Places, pray instead that he will choose to accept my revelation of that truth - the gift of faith is from Me, to all who believe."
I, too, woke to this hymn. Three a. m. , my husband ill with a cold, and other more minor difficulties. A phrase in the hymn would not return to my failing memory. It was a blessing to find every stanza here - along with Comments from others the Lord is leading to His higher ground. Only one word difference - Heaven, not Canaan, is my desire.
To be in the spirit is the key, the secret. In the spirit we will experience many wonderful things of Christ because we have crossed the Jordan and entered into Canaan. When we are in the spirit, we are in the rest, and we are in the Holy of Holies. Therefore, we must always renounce the natural man, the outer man. For example, many times in the Lord's work I was tempted by the enemy to quarrel with others. On those occasions I felt that my reason was right, that the case was mine, and that I had the doctrine to support me. Yet while I was trying to speak, something deep within restricted me and stopped me. In order to go along with that deep feeling, I had to drop my quarreling. Consequently, it seemed that I had nothing to say. But I can testify that every time I went along with the spirit, there was victory. If we take care of our spirit, the mighty One in our spirit will be our strength. We will be transcendent and victorious over many things. When we come to the meetings, we will come with many items of Christ to contribute, either in prayer, singing, giving a testimony, or speaking a short word. Philippians 4:13 says, "I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me." But where does Christ empower us? He empowers us in our spirit. Our mind is the stronghold and the open gate for the enemy, but our spirit is the base for the Lord to do His work. Thus, when we go along with the mind, we are defeated, even though we may be doing something good. But if we go along with the spirit, we will be victorious. We will be on a high mountain, on higher ground, and, in the words of a hymn, "on Canaan's tableland" (Hymns, #396). We will be in the heavens and will be transcendent.
