CHANNELS OF THE SPIRIT????Part 3?

?When this heavenly Presence is withdrawn we naturally seek out the reason. Even though we have not consciously sinned against Him, we begin to sense how we have stepped out in our own strength in some way. There is something we have begun to do “out from” ourselves. The Spirit, in withdrawing His divine Presence, is always leading us to become more like Christ so we may continually say with Him, “I do nothing of Myself… The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” (John 8:28-29)

With Jesus, our great desire is to keep His Presence filling our soul. All sanctified persons do not receive exactly the same measure of God’s eternal life. After sanctification there are many degrees of receiving Christ in His person, character, attributes and glory. As we continue to count “all things as loss” from our self-originated form of life and press forward in our dependent faith, we are enabled to enjoy an ever greater outflow of the Holy Spirit.?

The Holy Spirit continues to take from Christ’s life and reveal within our inner being “the righteousness which is from God by faith.” (Phil. 3:8- 10) He reveals this heavenly life as we yield to His every movement. “He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.”?

It is only as we become more and more conformed to Christ crucified—the life that does not seek to express itself—that His resurrection life can freely flow through our eternal souls. Let us therefore count everything as loss and surrender more fully to the nature and the work of our Lord so that we may become a better channel for the display of His heavenly life. “He who believes in Me, as the Scriptures has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” Once we have changed the source of our life, Christ will become like a Divine Fountain producing endless rivers of spiritual life from within our inner being. If this life is not flowing as He has promised, we need to begin examining ourselves for the source of the trouble.?

(from "Our Own God" by G. D. Watson)
