Come to God as we are and Remain in the Touch with the Lord to Enjoy His Dispensing

We need to come to God as we are and remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer to enjoy His divine dispensing.

Romans 8 reveals that the processed Triune God as the law of the Spirit of life gives the divine life to us, the believers in Christ, for our living; this is for us to experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.

We need to realize that, as believers in Christ who have received God in Christ as the Spirit to be our life, we are joined to the Lord as one spirit and, even more, we have the Triune God installed in our being as the law of the Spirit of life.

The processed Triune God has been installed in our spirit as the law of the Spirit of life, even as electricity was installed in our house.

We were created in the image of God and with the ability to contact God, receive God, and fellowship with God.

When we believed into the Lord Jesus, we contacted God and received God by means of our spirit, and He was installed in our being.

We now have the “divine electricity” installed within us, and all we need to do is switch it on and keep it on.

However, merely the fact that we have the law of the Spirit of life installed in us to be the Triune God operating in us does not mean that we are open to Him all the time or that He can operate as He wishes.

So many times we do not activate the law of the Spirit of life, and so many times there are hindrances to the flow of life in our being.

God’s operation as the law of the Spirit of life, the law of the divine “electricity” within us requires our cooperation.

We need to “switch on” this law of life by prayer.

The best way, the easiest way, and the most enjoyable way for us to switch on the law of the Spirit of life is to pray, that is, to contact the Lord in prayer.

He has been installed in our being and He is ready to operate; the Triune God is powerful, mighty, and able to do all things in us, but we need to cooperate with Him.

When we pray, when we turn our heart to the Lord and just contact Him, we switch Him on, and He operates in our being.

In our daily living, in our daily experience, we need to turn to our spirit by contacting the Lord through prayer.

We need to call on the name of the Lord and He will simply flow and operate in our being.

When we simply turn to Him, the law of the Spirit of life is switched on, and He operates in us.

When we just turn and call on His name, He is free to operate in us, and we enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.

We need to learn to turn to Him again and again. We need to learn to switch on the law of the Spirit of life.

In our daily life, we need to have a way to contact the Lord through prayer, come to Him even as we are, and just pray to enjoy Him, and we will absorb God, we will enjoy His divine dispensing, and the righteous requirement of the law will be spontaneously fulfilled in us, for we will walk according to the spirit.

When we Remain in Touch with the Lord through Prayer, the Law of the Spirit of Life works Automatically in us

When we remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer, the law of the Spirit of life is activated and operates in us automatically, spontaneously, and effortlessly within us (Heb. 11:1, 5-6; 2 Cor. 4:13; Matt. 8:3, 15; 9:20-21, 29; 14:36; 17:7; 20:34; John 4:23-24; Phil. 2:12-13; Rom. 8:2, 4, 6, 13-16, 23; 1 Thes. 5:16-18).

We simply need to stay in contact with the Lord in our spirit throughout the day, and we will constantly enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.

The touch with the Lord. This is a very important matter in our Christian life.

Day by day, we need to have a living touch with the Lord so that we may enjoy and experience the divine dispensing.

First, we need to touch the Lord, and then, we need to remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer.

It is the touch with the Lord that brings us the divine dispensing.

How much do we remain in the touch with the Lord?

What we need is not more joy or peace or love; what we need is more of Christ as our joy and peace and love.

And we obtain Him simply by remaining in the touch with the Lord through prayer.

We may take public transport to work and, as we are riding the metro or the tube (if we’re in London), we can simply turn our heart to the Lord.

Even there, on the underground, the law of the Spirit of life can operate in our heart when we remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer.

He operates in us all the time, and He simply needs our cooperation.

When the Lord Jesus was on earth, many people wanted to touch Him, but there was one specific woman who had a flow of blood who touched the Lord and was healed.

We need to touch the Lord through prayer and remain in contact with Him, and any sickness and diseases in our being will be healed.

When He touches us, our spiritual fever will leave us.

If we only touch His garment, being intentional about touching HIm and having the aspiration of contacting Him in spirit, He will flow as the Spirit to bring life to every part of our being.

In our personal time with the Lord, whether we’re doing our Bible reading or going through the morning revival, we need to tell the Lord again and again, Lord Jesus, I want to touch You.

When we come to His word, it is good to tell Him with a turned heart, Lord, as I come to Your written word, I want to come to You.

Many times, however, we rush our time with the Lord.

Very often, we are not fine in our fellowship with Him; rather, we’re rough and we’re in a rush. We may get something, a little supply, but we may not really touch the Lord nor do we abide in this touch with Him.

May we take time to behold Him and contact Him.

May we have many secret times with the Lord in which we just come to contact Him, open to Him, and wait on Him.

Others may touch Him in the meetings and in their own way in their personal life with the Lord, but we want to contact the Lord personally and intimately, and we want to remain in the touch with the Lord.

Our touch with the Lord is not something physical or emotional; it is by faith and in the spirit.

It is by exercising our spirit to contact the Lord that we actually touch Him, and it is in faith that we touch the Lord and remain in the touch with Him. By faith, we touch Him.

Through prayer, we remain in the touch with the Lord.

We may have a time with the Lord in the morning, and then we need to go and take care of things such as our job, our family, our responsibilities, and things related to the church life.

As we do all these things, we need to remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer so that we may enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity throughout the day.

We may have an appointment at work or we may be driving and looking for a parking space; even then, we can contact the Lord and open to Him about that particular thing we’re doing.

The Lord is with us wherever we are, and He is simply waiting for us to come to Him and contact Him.

He is right inside; we can simply turn to Him, contact Him, and remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer.

If we do this, He will dispense Himself into us more and more.

Lord Jesus, we come to You as we come to Your word. We just want to contact You. We don’t want to merely get some spiritual knowledge or doctrine; we want to gain more of You. Keep us in the touch with the Lord through prayer throughout the day. Keep us contacting You as we do this and that. Save us from not contacting You. Save us from living in ourselves or by ourselves. Keep us in the touch with You through prayer all throughout the day. We want to learn to unceasingly pray by calling on Your name. Oh Lord Jesus, we love You! We love to call on Your name and remain in the touch with You! Keep dispensing Yourself into us as life. Keep us under Your divine dispensing today.

Come to God as we Are to Contact Him and Absorb Him through Prayer to Enjoy His Divine Dispensing

We can contact God and remain in the touch with God through prayer. To pray is to absorb God, for prayer causes us to gain God.

God is reality, and we can contact Him in spirit to obtain Him and enjoy Him.

When we come to God even as we are to contact Him, we will enjoy Him and absorb Him.

God doesn’t require that we straighten ourselves up before we contact Him; He simply wants us to come to Him as even as we are.

When we come to the Lord in His word, we will be exposed to see our situation and condition, and we will realise we’re weak, incompetent, unable to rise, unpresentable, and thirsty.

We will simply confess this to the Lord, and we will bring our inner condition to God. How wonderful it is that we can come to the Lord as we are to contact Him and absorb Him!

The meaning of prayer is for us to absorb God; the more we contact God, the more we will absorb Him, and the more we absorb Him, the more we will enjoy Him as our light and our salvation (2 Kings 19:30; Isa. 37:31; Matt. 6:6; Psa. 119:15).

The real meaning of prayer is not just to ask things from God or pray for Him to do something; it is to absorb God.

We need to spend time to behold God and absorb God.

The more we absorb Him, the more we pray to contact God, the more we will enjoy Him as our light and salvation.

By spending much time in a hidden, secret, personal, and private way with the Lord to contact Him, we take root downward and there will also be a bearing of fruit upward.

We need to have much such hidden growth under the ground, in our personal time with God, by contacting God and absorbing Him.

In Psa. 27:1 David says, “Jehovah is my light and my salvation”; he contacted and absorbed God by beholding Him as beauty (v. 4), and the result is that he was enlightened and received salvation within.

May we come to God just as we are, without trying to improve ourselves or change our condition.

We received Christ in this way, just as we are, and we should walk in Christ in this way today (Col. 2:6-7).

We may think that, when we were an unbeliever, we were far from God and God had mercy on us, so He saved us; but now that we are believers, we are a little better and should improve ourselves a little before coming to Him.

But this is a lie from the enemy. We have received the Lord by coming to Him as we are, and now we need to continue to contact the Lord as we are so that we may continue to receive Him, absorb Him, and be infused with Him – just as we are!

When we come to Him just as we are, He will break every barrier down, He receives us, and He will infuse us with Himself.

We don’t have to improve before coming to the Lord.

We should not think we’re fallen too far away from God so we need to straighten ourselves up and then we can contact Him.

We may be embarrassed to contact the Lord, for we did not contact Him for a while, but He still wants us to come to Him as we are.

We should not project our feelings and thoughts on God, thinking that He will not receive us or welcome us because we’re so fallen and we have done this or that thing that He is displeased with.

He wants a love relationship with us, and He wants to recover our love.

He comes to us where we are, He draws us to Himself, and He wants us to simply come to Him as we are.

As soon as we give Him the slightest cooperation, the law of the Spirit of life is activated and the divine dispensing continues.

Consider the prodigal son in Luke 15; he started to come back to his father, but at one point his father ran to him.

Our Father is eager to receive us and love us, and He shortens the distance between us and Him if we simply make a motion toward Him.

Similarly in John 21 when the disciples led by Peter went fishing, the Lord didn’t rebuke them or tell them off for what they did; rather, He provided fish for them, and He even made breakfast for them.

Instead of caring about our condition, we need to enter into God’s presence to contact Him by looking to Him, beholding Him, praising Him, giving thanks to Him, worshipping Him, and absorbing Him.

When we come to Him as we are and just contact the Lord through prayer, we will enjoy God’s riches, taste His sweetness, and receive Him as light and power.

The result will be that we will inwardly be peaceful, bright, strong, and empowered (1 Pet. 4:10-11; 2 Cor. 2:17; 13:3).

By having such experiences of contacting the Lord as we are, we will learn the lesson of staying connected to Him when we’re ministering the word to the saints.

May we learn the lesson of staying connected to the Lord throughout the day.

May we remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer, coming to Him as we are, so that we may enjoy the divine dispensing and be channels for this dispensing to flow to others also.

He longs for this divine dispensing to go on uninterrupted, and we can come to Him, open to Him, and allow Him to flow in and flow out of us.

Lord Jesus, we come to You as we are. Though we are embarrassed with our situation and we are ashamed of our condition, we just come to You as we are. We do not want to improve our condition or change our situation; we just come to You! We want to absorb God through prayer. We come to You to contact You and absorb You so that we may enjoy You as our light and our salvation. Oh Lord, we just want to enter into Your presence to contact You by looking to You, beholding You, and praising You. Keep us in Your presence today to absorb You and enjoy all Your riches. Amen, dear Lord Jesus, we love to be with You and to remain in the touch with the Lord through prayer. May we all learn the lesson of staying connected to God throughout the day so that the divine dispensing may go on in us and flow through us to many others also!
