I have learned the wondrous secret

Today, a dear older sister called me from her nursing home in great need of companionship and comfort. She knew that I'd experienced much comfort from the Lord in recent years during a serious health problem and might have a timely word for her. As I considered what to share with her, these words came to mind. 🎶 I have lost myself in Jesus, I am sinking into God. 🎶 At a time of utter frailty and total dependence on others, the Lord led me into the experience of those anointed words. When a real surrendering occurred in my inward parts, I experienced the great comfort of being lost in Jesus and sinking into God! I shared those precious hymn words with her and she was comforted and refreshed! I have a feeling those words (and the entire hymn) will draw her into a deeper fellowship with the Lord, as they have for me.

Hymn 564 is a vital hymn.

Praise the Lord! I've discovered the secret: I stopped struggling and started letting Jesus live through me. Because I am crucified with Christ, it's no longer I who live—He lives in me! As I yield my will to His Spirit and trust His cleansing blood, I find rest from my own efforts. Hallelujah, I'm just hiding in the bosom of His love! 😀

The central thought of the Bible is that God desires us to live Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ. The main point of our Christian life is to live Christ. To live Christ should be our primary goal; all the troubles in our Christian life come because of our not living Christ. We need to practice to live Christ, realizing that He is the life-giving Spirit in our spirit, until we live Christ habitually.

The climax, the highest point, of the divine revelation in the entire Bible is to live Christ. In order to live Christ, we must practice being one spirit with Him, and in order to practice being one spirit with Him, we must exercise our spirit to pray unceasingly. If we pray unceasingly from our spirit, “Lord, live in me; Lord, live through me, ” we will build up a habit of not living our self but Christ; then we will live Christ habitually. The habit of living Christ is the habit of prayer. Apart from unceasingly praying, we cannot live Christ. It is only by such continual prayer, such breathing prayer, that we can live Christ spontaneously. In order to have such a prayer life, we must watch and pray, praying at every time in spirit, watching unto prayer in all petition, and persevering in prayer (Matt. 26:41 ; Eph. 6:18 ; Col. 4:2). Moreover, the foundation for us to pray is our love for the Lord. Because we love the Lord and seek Him, we like to contact Him, pray to Him, and call upon Him. Part of the secret of living Christ is telling the Lord again and again that we love Him.

I have learned the secret of abiding in his word. In my spirit I have this fountain of life.

For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

Please change last sentence in previous post to “The abiding, which is to remain with the Lord, is directly related to our touching Him in the Word on a regular basis. ”

Albert Simpson found the secret of abiding in the Lord. It is the fruit of being in the Bible and drinking [and eating] of the Spirit in the Word. He says over again and again in the chorus “I’m abiding in the Lord and confiding in His Word. ” His life was spent constantly in the riches of the Word. I’m reminded of the words in John chapter 6. “The words I speak unto you are Spirit and they are life” if we want to have our life in Christ, that’s abiding, we must let that Word abide in us richly. By abiding in the Lord we develop a sweet close relationship with Christ where we can take all our sickness and all our problems. Then He gives us wisdom how to live in these things and how to speak. Over time we can say He is my portion. So there is a real secrete to growing this close relationship. It comes from having our the Word in our hands consistently in faith. It does not happen over night.
