In the spring of 1926, I made another visit to Saint Louis, reaching there the first day of May. On the following Thursday, May 6, while in prayer at the Moise home, 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.
From “Manifest Victory” by Rufus Moseley (1947)
