Even after receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Christ continued in a lifestyle of persistent pursuit after the Father. As a result, the Spirit continued to descend upon Him so that He was filled with the fullness of the Father.

As with Christ, the fullness of the Father indwelling within us is attainable only through persistence.(12:26)

If you receive a Word from the Lord and do not persist in it you will seek in frustration for another Word and another to bolster your faith, and eventually will abandon the Word in futility. Get a Word and pursue it persistently. One Word is enough to move an age. Do not confuse hope with faith or anticipation with appropriation. When God gives a present Word, persist in His present fulfillment. “When we heard this Word it created us.” (53 1/2 min.)
