God is Speaking

Rufus Mosely wrote In the spring of 1926, while in prayer, I asked the Lord if He had anything He would like to say to me. I commenced laughing at myself for my stupidity in not asking this before. I realized how ridiculous it would be to have an hour with, let us say, the President of the United States, and monopolize the conversation, then ask him as you said good-bye if he had anything to say. How much more stupid to monopolize the conversation in prayer, in communion with God. As soon as I was ready to listen, these words came through me: "I want you in Me all the time and I give you the keys."

I had realized, since Jesus manifested Himself and came within me and I had come out of the marvelous enveloping glory, that my great need was to take up my abode in Jesus and abide in Him without ever going out any more, just as He had taken up His abode in me to abide forever. We need to be in Him perpetually, as we need Him to be in us everlastingly. It is in the double union of Him in us and us in Him, and in the bearing of the fruit of the union, that we become like Him and joint heirs with Him in the services and in the inheritance of time and eternity. His full revelation in us and our full revelation in Him is our full salvation, redemption, and glorification.

Rufus Moseley was so absorbed in Jesus that he was clearly in two worlds at the same time. He would be speaking to an individual or a group and suddenly begin communicating with Jesus simultaneously. His books testify to his continual absorption in Jesus.

"I have lived in the consciousness that to have Jesus in me and for me to abide in Him is of such infinite worth that nothing must be allowed to break, even for an instant, this ineffable union."

Rufus Moseley, Manifest Victory

How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?

Psalm 137:4

When I pray, You answer me;

You encourage me by giving me the strength I need.

Though I am surrounded by troubles,

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

You will preserve me.

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.

The Lord will accomplish what concerns me.

The Lord will work out His plans for my life.

Psalm 138:3, 7-8
