A Supernaturally Divine Transformation

God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God has been formed in us, then God will always hear our prayers.

But we must make sure that the Son of God is being given the chance to work through us, pray through us, and exhibit his life through our lives.

Our God-given common sense and natural abilities are not enough; they alone will never worship God. We must be in submission to Him in order for our human flesh to be transformed and the Son of God allowed to live His life moment to moment within our human flesh.

We must be in constant prayer and submission to the Holy Spirit for the miracle of His life being exhibited in us to occur.

Christ's life being exhibited in our lives can only occur if we are in

complete and utter submission to Him.

In constant communion with the Father.

Relying on His strength, His faith, His direction.

His supernatural life in us

to overcome our flesh and shine.

It is a miracle of divine and holy transformation—

the Son and the saint becoming one with the Father.

His life worked out through our lives, in our lives.

We are hidden in Him as He walks in our flesh

as we walk in the Spirit through His power.

A supernatural and divine transformation

and another mysteriously hidden purpose of the Father.

Breath Prayer

Holy Spirit, form the life of Christ in me.

Pray through me, strengthen me,

and let his divine life be seen in all I do.

Selah,

The Quill and Me Devotional Blog • Oswald Chambers Reflections Today's Devotional • Back to Home Page —Present— April 21 Today's Reading: My Utmost for His Highest John 14:9 "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?" ...He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Philip stood in front of Jesus and still asked to see the Father. Jesus told him that seeing Him was seeing the Father. God was right there, and Philip didn’t recognize Him. We are the same way. God is with us, guiding us, steadying us, revealing Himself in quiet ways — yet we often look for something dramatic. Faith is trusting the God we cannot see, the God who is already here. Philip wasn't asking out of rebellion. Philip was asking out of longing — the same longing we feel. But Jesus’ response reveals something deeper: “Have I been with you so long, and you still don’t know Me?” We want to see God with our eye...

Dec 2 — Do Not Worry

The Quill and Me—Devotional Blog•Oswald Chambers Reflections Today's Devotional • Back to Home Page December 2 Daily Verse & Prayer 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you ." Do Not Worry Worry has a way of creeping into our hearts, especially when life feels uncertain. Yet this verse reminds us that we are not meant to carry the weight alone. God’s care is not distant — it is personal, tender, and constant. Every detail of our lives matters to Him. When we release our burdens into His hands, we exchange anxiety for peace. It doesn’t mean the challenges disappear, but it does mean we walk through them with courage, knowi ng the Lord is near. Today, let us name our worries and lay them before Him, trusting Him to carry what we cannot. Prayer Father, I lay my worries at Your feet. Please give me calm for my mind and courage for my work, and remind me - You hold every detail. In Jesus' precious, holy name I pray, Amen. Do N...
