"By Myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and My judgment is just, for I seek not to please Myself but Him who sent Me"-John 5:30 (NIV).

Jesus says, "I and the Father are One" (John 10:30)...that by Himself He can do nothing.  Jesus also says we are to be one in Him...likewise, by ourselves, we can do nothing (John 15:5).  Jesus acted only as He heard...but there are times when it feels that all we hear is silence.  At those times, a concentrated presence in the Word is necessary...Bible reading and prayer.  That's where we meet and hear from Jesus...in Him, in the Word.  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1).  Then you will hear and seek to please Him.
