Abiding Connecting - IX


Quite often at worship meetings, the life of God flows freely and strongly over those in attendance. God speaks clearly. Faith increases. Salvations or healings occur.

There are two reason why this happens. People are in a receiving mode. They are open. There is a heart-focus towards God. It is this heart-focus that completes the connection. There are no distractions. There is only God for this period. It is the purity of the heart-focus that releases the life flow across the connection.

People are in agreement. Unity always seems to strengthen whatever brings it together. It is almost as if the heart-focus is multiplied if it is aimed in the same direction, at the same thing. And Scripture says God blesses unity. It is because God’s nature is unity and agreement.

What if Jesus’ followers walked in agreement on Monday through Friday as well as Sunday? What if their heart-focus was as attuned to God’s presence beyond the meeting? Jesus was God, but he was also man. His impact on the world was directly proportional to his connection with the Father. If we can maintain our heart-focus beyond the meeting, we can walk as Jesus walked and influence the world in the same way.
