Topic: Press In
Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly…. – Colossians 3:16
Things in this old world aren’t getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He’s been saying, Press in. Draw into a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don’t, you won’t make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine.
That message is for more than just me. It’s also for you and every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It’s an exciting time, but it’s also a dangerous time. Those who don’t do what the Spirit says, who don’t press into the Lord, will go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus’ Name!
Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating in the New Testament is time spent with Jesus.
Most people don’t realize that. So, instead of getting to know the Lord through His Word, they try to know Him through their feelings, which just won’t work.
Letting the Word dominate your thinking is to allow the Holy Spirit to have control over your mind. As you do that, your feelings will eventually fall in line.
Remember this: John 1 tells us that Jesus is the Word. That means, when you spend time in it, you’re spending time with Jesus. When His Word dwells in you richly, Jesus lives in you, too!
Don’t go from disaster to disaster. Take those disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus’ Name. Press into Jesus. Press into the Word, and you’ll make it through these dangerous days just fine!
Scripture Reading: John 1:1-14

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior is one of the best decisions one can take, especially you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
