Discipleship Devotional Study Guide- God’s Word – John 15:7 – If My Words Remain In You – Growing As Disciples

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:7 (NIV)

Vitally Connected

Will you remain in me? Will you allow my words to remain in you? Those are two very important questions. You must not take them lightly or pass over them quickly. I want to you to deeply consider these questions. Why is that? I don’t doubt the importance of these questions. I would like you to teach me why they are vitally important. You have used a good word. What word was that? You used the word vitally. The word vitally is closely related to the word vitality. Do you want to live vitally connected to me so that your life is filled with my vitality? I want to live my life vitally connected to you. I want to live a life filled with your vitality. What would that look like? How will I know if I am vitally connected to you? How can I be certain that I am living a life filled with your vitality? Those are all very good questions.

To live your life vitally connected to me, my word must remain in you. You must let my word dwell in your richly. You must hunger and thirst for my word. You must feast on my word. You must allow my word to change your heart and transform your mind. How can I do all of that? If you meditate on my word day and night it will change your heart and transform your mind. You will know the truth of my word and it will set you free to live your life fully with and for me. My thoughts will become your thoughts. My ways will become your ways. You will know me. You will know and do my will.

You asked, “How will I know if I am vitally connected to you?” Yes, I did. As my word remains in you, your thoughts and words and deeds will come into alignment with my will and my ways. You will think thoughts, speak words, and do deeds that are consistent with my word. You will be made able to pray prayers that I will hear and answer. You will want what I want. You will ask for my will to be accomplished. You want to bear much fruit for my kingdom and bring glory to my name. I will hear and answer your prayers. I will bear much fruit through your life. That is how you will know that you are vitally connected to me. That is how you and everyone else will know that you are truly one of my disciples. This is how you will know for certain that you are vitally connected to me. That is the prayer of my heart. This is what I want. That is very good. That is what I will give to you. I will hear and answer your prayer.

Lord, help me to remain in you and your word. Fill my heart and mind and soul with your word. Teach me how to live and pray according to your purposes and plans. Show me what to ask for in prayer. I trust you will hear and answer my prayers to you. Amen

Your answer leads me to two more questions. How can I remain in you? How can your words remain in me? I think you know the answer to both of your questions. Tell me what you think. If I want to remain in you I will live in an intimate, vital and connected relationship with you. I will walk with you throughout my life. I will live in constant fellowship with you. My life of prayer will consist of one long dialogue with you. I will listen to your voice. I will treasure your words. I will put into practice all that you teach me. I will follow you to where you lead me. I will do whatever you ask of me. I will live my life fully and completely with and for you. That’s right.

How will you make sure that my words are abiding in you? How will you make sure that you are living in an intimate and vital relationship with me? I will set aside a time and a place to meet with you every day so that I can hear from you. I will withdraw from the busyness and noise of life so that I can meet with you in your word. I will hide your word in my heart. I will allow your word to change the thoughts of my mind and the prayers of my heart. In every way, I will allow your word to guide and guide my life. I know that you will give me your thoughts to think. I know that you will give me prayers to pray. You will teach me to pray according to your will and ways. You will guide me to pray prayers that you will hear and answer. Yes, I will.

Lord, I will remain in you and allow your words to remain in me. Use your word to guide the thoughts of my mind and the prayers of my heart. Help me to pray prayers that are according to your will so that they can be heard and answered. Amen
