Sometimes the best thing we can do as Christian Workers is to get practical help for certain times and occasions.
One very good method for doing this is to attend prayer and devotional meetings at the church of your choice.
For those who find it difficult to attend such meetings on a regular basis or who want added inspirational strength to the help they have received from attending prayer and/or devotional meetings, we offer this online prayer and devotional meeting to provide our Christian friends practical help for certain times and occasions.
Welcome to Abiding In Christ.
The following is selected reading from the 15th chapter of John:
Jn 15:4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.
The Lord invites us to be a part of His family and to remain a part of Him as good Christians.
He is the tree of our Christian lives and we are the branches. We can bear no fruit by ourselves, only by remaining a part of the vine that is Christ do we grow and bloom and mature as good fruit.
Stay in the Lord, be a fruitful branch.
May the Lord add many blessings to the reading and acceptance of His word.
Praise the Lord.
Jn 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.
Jn 15:6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
Jn 15:7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you.
Jn 15:10 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father's commands and remain in His love.
The following is selected reading from 1 John and 2 John:
1Jn 2:6 Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.
1Jn 2:28 And now, dear children, continue in Him, so the when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
1Jn 3:6 No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him.
2Jn 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
Let us pray.
Jude 24: To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy --
Jude 25: to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, and forevermore!
Amen.

Let's Talk About Love, Yes LOVE, love!!
Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love. Amen

Eternal Things - Can You See Them?
The Lord Will Raise Us Up
"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted,
but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed . . . . .
knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus
and will present us with you . . .
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is
being renewed day by day.
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond
all comparison,
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for
the things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen are eternal.
{2 Corinthians 4:8, 9, 14, 16-18}.

SATAN: DEAL OR NO DEAL!
So you've got the Spirit, and you're Saved. You've got the Holy Ghost, you are Blessed. You are Saved and Sanctified, you're a child of God. You have been Slain in the Spirit. You're covered by the blood of Christ. You're a Good Christian. If you are any of these things or all of these things, you are truly resting in the Lord. Praise God! For many of us who are Christians, all of these things are enough, in fact, more than enough to assure us that we have our place in the Lord. For those of us who feel this way, the Lord has given me a message to open your eyes, hearts and minds to a truth that you must be aware of. Read the following, you could very well be blessed and redeemed by this message. Plain and simply put as given by the Lord, you need to KNOW the Word of God. Let me say that one more time, you need to KNOW the Word of God. Why? Because, you will never, ever succeed in defeating satan unless you personally know the Word of God. Headline #1: Satan knows the Word of God! Headline #2: Satan is counting on you not knowing the Word of God. Headline #3: Satan succeeds in tempting those who do not know the Word of God. How does this not happen to you, how do you stay out of the headlines with satan? You do it by personally knowing the Word of God. Jesus gave us the best example of knowing the Word in the book of Matthews chapter 4. In Ch.4:3; The tempter came to Him and said, "If you are the Son of God, he said, tell these stones to become bread." Ch.4:4; Jesus answered, "It is written:'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God'." Now, for anyone other that satan, this would have been enough of a counter to end the situation, however, satan decided to get physical, the Word says, Ch.4:5; Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. Then satan said, Ch.4:6; "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw your self down. For it is written: "'He will command His angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'" But Jesus was ready for satan, He came back with this, Ch.4:10; Jesus said to him, "Away from me satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.'" And in Ch.4:11, we find; "Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him." Satan said to Jesus, "Deal or No Deal?" Jesus Christ said to satan, "No Deal!!"
