Defined as: To endure without yielding, to remain stable or in a fixed state, to conform,Permanent.

John 15:7 says "If you abide in me,and my words abide in you,ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you." If we are truly disciples we will abide in his word and we will know the truth which will set us free. The Lord said " Believe me that I am in the father and the father is in me, or else believe on account of the works that I do." And if we love Him we will keep His commandments.
      The Lord is telling us to allow His living word (Jesus) to make His home in us. He is telling us to meditate on them and to fill our minds and hearts with them so the abundance of his words will proceed from our mouths to the ears that will hear. In Col.3:16 He says " Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." Most of us have know idea of what this means. This is one reason we fall short of the power that lays within us. when the word is abiding in you it is like a favorite song that repeats it's self over and over again in your mind. when the word of God abides in you it to will do much the same thing, but it is life to those who hear it. Suddenly from deep inside of you they spring forth like a river of life.They appear when the situation is at hand for them to come-forth The words of God are the true answers we need to over ride the wisdom of men. The worldly answers seem right but soon they fade. In verse 12 it says to put on these things (walk in them); a compassionate heart, kindness,humility,meekness and patience,bearing with one another and forgive as the Lord has for given you.So now let us move forward as the word says " Therefore let us give earnest heed to the things we have heard...."(Hebrews 2:1)
      Unless we know the promises of God how can we move ahead, so don't let other things get in your way make time to ABIDE in His word and study to show yourself approved. Gods words are LIFE, read your BIBLE and study.....To he that can hear......in His love,tom
