Oh, I Pray you, note it well!
It was with New Prayer and Fasting, with More Prayer and Fasting, that this company of Disciples Carried Out the Command of the Holy Spirit.
My soul, Wait thou only upon God.
That is our Highest and Most Important Work.
The Holy Spirit Comes in Answer to Believing Prayer.
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is Exceedingly Precious to our Spirit.
There we Find the Lord’s Grace to Help us in time of need.
Brothers and Sisters must Learn to Obey Authority, otherwise we will not have any Testimony on earth.
Faith has ever only to deal with the Present Moment.
Ask this: Can Jesus at the Present Moment, as I Abide in Him, Keep me from those actual transgressions which have been the stain and the weariness of my daily life?
You cannot but say: Surely He Can.
Take Him then at this Present Moment, and say, Jesus Keeps me now, Jesus Saves me now.
Yield yourself to Him in the Earnest and Believing Prayer to be Kept Abiding, by His Own Abiding in you – and go into the Next Moment, and the succeeding hours, with this Trust Continually Renewed.
How sad that almost all Bible terms have lost their original meanings.
The words remain the same, but the things they signify are vastly different.
The power spoken of today is not the power spoken of previously.
The work today is no longer the work of yesterday.
Today’s need is to be Filled with the Life of the Lord and to Enter Into Spiritual Reality.
When Life Comes, all the lifeless terms used nowadays shall become experiences.
However vicious the environment – trail, trial, persecution, malice, murder, and so forth – and though we may be walled in on all sides, we shall have a Life which can neither be withheld nor overcome by any environment.
1 JOHN 3:5-6
You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

JAMES 5:16
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.
ROMANS 6:16
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
ROMANS 6:19
I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
PSALMS 66:16-20
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
But truly God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!
1 JOHN 3:22
and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
JOHN 14:15-16
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
JOHN 15:7
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

MATTHEW 16:18
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
