Measures of Life .
The manna the children of Isreal received was daily .. In the same we must receive Life from God by faith daily .
Drawing LIFE .
3 Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
Drawing life from God using the exceeding great and precious promises is a technical things . Your hearth pumps blood to circulate around the body . In exact way your born again spirit is a spiritual pumps .. That pump life.
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
The lord Jesus is the well and your spirit is a pump .
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “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.
so using the great promises you can pump spiritual water from the well (or vine ) into your spirit( reservior) and from your spirit to your soul , to your physical body and into your circumstances.
How do we pump ?
What you must do is
Take the promise
Belive it in your heart
Confess it with your month .
When you do this your hearts acts like a pump and draws life from the well ( Jesus via the Holy Spirit ) into your hearth , from where it can flow up to the rest of your system .
Note .. IOur spirit or inner man pumpos ZOE just like your physical hearth pumps blood.
20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth;
From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Your belle must be fill of LIFE and this done by praying from many LIFE SCRIPTURE . The more scriptures which promise life that you confess , the greater the amount of God ‘s life and power is deposited in your spsirt , soul and body.
Each time you pray from life scripture you receive a measure of LIFE . LIFE Is not ministered all at once , but in measyres , and the size of the measure is what determine your spiritual grow.
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
Illustration of eating and children and adult.
But note the measure of the capacity of our hearth can be increase.
32 I will run the course of Your commandments,
For You shall enlarge my heart.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us—a sphere which especially includes you.
15 not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,
THE SPIRITUAL WORK
16 The labor of the righteous leads to life,
The wages of the wicked to sin.
Drawing life is spiritual labout and if you are baptised in the Holy spirit you are better equipped for that labour
11 Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience [into which those in the wilderness fell].
if you are baptize and the one baptize is life one is using bucket to draw water and the other is using pump..
How do we DRAW thsi life
LABOUR OF FAITH .
Concentrate when you are praying
Visualise see by faith that flow of life as it flow to you soul , body and circumstance according to the specific scriputures.
Hindrance to drawing life .. is your attitude towards those spiritual auhtority over you .
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
if you do not have an attitude of honesty and humility towards those in authority then God will resist you and you willnot be able to draw life effectively .
5 . You must be honest and humble in your hearth and God mercy and grace will be readly available to you.
6. So praying for God to minister life and power to our spirit , souland bodies , we base these request on certin specific scriptures.
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
So we based our faith on the principles of receiving life , power and strength , love and wsidom by exercisinf faith in specific scriptures .
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
SO been very intentional .
Quote the specific scriptures to yourself
make a personal prayer or confession based on that scripture
Believe that what you have asked for or confessed is true immediateky you say it
act like it is true irrespective of your feeling and circumstance .
By confessing theses scriptures constantly , and praying it earnesth , we can have an abundant amount of God ‘s life and power in us , or have it without measures as christ did.
34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
NOTE .. it is not the word we draw life from , but rather we draw life from GOD throught the WORD
So time to Pray.
23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
28 For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
32 It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
