If you felt you could not do it, you are on the right road, if you let yourselves be led.
Accept that position, and maintain it before God.
My heart’s desire and delight, O God, is Absolute Surrender, but I cannot perform it.
It is impossible for me to live that Life.
It is beyond me.
Fall down and learn that when you are utterly helpless, God will come to Work in you not only to Will, but also to Do.
Our work is often insignificant due to our little Prayer.
Let us change our method and make Unceasing Prayer be the proof that we Look To God for Everything and that we Believe that He Hears us.
Nothing shows more nobility of character than the spirit of enterprise and daring which battles major difficulties and conquers.
So should we who are Christians be able to face the difficulties that we meet in Prayer.
As we Work and Strive in Prayer, the Renewed Will Asserts its Royal Right to Claim what it Will in the Name of Jesus.
LUKE 9:23
23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
We Should Do!
Deny Self – to deny means to forsake, to not care, to not be concerned about, to not acknowledge any demand. Denying self means not letting self rule. This action needs to be taken by Specifically Believing that I have been Crucified with Christ.
Take Up His Cross Daily – once we have Willed to Deliver self to the Cross and not let it rule, we then must daily deny self.
And Follow Jesus!
O yield yourself this very day to the Blessed Saviour in the Surrender of the one thing He Asks of you.
Give up yourself to Abide in Him!
He Himself will Work it in you.
You can Trust Him to Keep you Trusting and Abiding.
Abundance comes from Enlightenment.
As Light Shines upon us, we become Rich.
Yet strange to say, when we do Receive such Enlightening, we feel on our side as though decreased and not increased.
For the Shining of Light will Break Up your past sight.
It Destroys what you originally had.
Under the Illumination of God, we actually do Increase, and yet we do not feel it that way!
If, all is as God Gives Light, you think you have increased, then in reality you have seen nothing.
But in case you indeed see, so far as your feeling is concerned, you sense an emptiness as though you have never commenced Walking on the Spiritual Pathway of Life.
One who is Truly Abundant senses himself to be nothing under the Light of God.
JAMES 5:16
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

LUKE 9:23-25
23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

PHILIPPIANS 3:12
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

DANIEL 10:8-12
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength. 9 Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground.
10 And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
DANIEL 10:15
15 When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was mute.
