Renew Your Fellowship With The Lord
This Andrew Murray Quote Drives to the Heart of our Deepest Need.
“We need to receive daily new grace from heaven through fellowship with the Lord Jesus. This cannot be obtained by a hasty prayer or a superficial reading of a few verses from God’s Word. We must take time to come into God’s presence, to feel our weakness and our need, and to wait on God through His Holy Spirit to renew our fellowship with Him.” — Andrew Murray
This quote drives right the point of our deepest need.
Spending time in the presence of the Lord is the place of renewing and fellowship with Him. This time is an investment in the life of our souls. It carries a wealth of dividends that richly equip us to fight every battle and weather every storm.
Withholding this life of prayer we cease to fight. Prayer IS the fight. It is the great battle of the believer’s life. All the combined schemes of the evil one will unite under this one banner—stop the Christian from praying.
When you prayer it releases the power of heaven on earth. God is in heaven, but His Spirit empowers you upon the earth to receive and accomplish the will of heaven.
Prayer is not simply a tool to request what we want from the Lord, it is much more a revelation of our deep need of God. We need to be humbled and emptied of self in our time of prayer, realizing our need for the formative hand of God to change us and shape us into the image of His Son.
This does not happen quickly, but over time and through fellowship, Jesus Himself works into us the things that are well-pleasing in His sight.
Be encouraged to take up the mantle of daily fellowship with the Father today. He loves you and cannot wait to be with you.
