Go On Our Faces
Go on our faces Before God,
Until our hearts learn to Believe
That the Everlasting God Himself
Will Come in to Turn Out what is wrong,
To Conquer what is evil,
And to Work what is Well-Pleasing
In His Sight.
Surrender
God does NOT ask you to Give the Perfect Surrender in your strength, or by the power of your will; God is Willing to Work It in you.
Do we not read: It is God that Works in us, both to Will and to Do of His Good Pleasure?
And this is what we should seek for.
Will Not Cooperate
Even though sin still exists and attempts to be master, yet you and I are NO LONGER its bondman.
In spite of its repeated efforts to cause the body to sin, the NEW MAN, Under the Dominion of the Holy Spirit, will NOT cooperate.
Consequently, sin has now NO WAY to cause the body to sin.
Old Man
But now the old man has been Dealt With by the Lord by it having BEEN Crucified with Him on the Cross, and thus the body of sin has become Unemployed.
Formerly, when the old man was still alive, the body of sin daily sinned as though sinning was its profession, its job.
Thank the Lord, the irrepressible old man, the old man of you and me, has BEEN CRUCIFIED!
And the body of sin is now Unemployed!
Old Man
What is the Aim of having the old man Crucified?
It is just this: that the body of sin might be DONE AWAY.
Meaning: disemployed; which signifies that without the old man, the body of sin is Disabled from doing anything.
Abide in Me
Abide in Me, with the Promise, He that Abides in Me Brings Forth Much Fruit.
He Speaks of that Willing, Intelligent, and Whole-Hearted Surrender by which we Accept His Offer, and Consent to the Abiding in Him as the ONLY LIFE we Choose or Seek.
Intercessor
Christ is our Intercessor in Heaven, and all Saints here on earth are Engaged in One Mighty Contest.
We must Cultivate the Gift of Unceasing Prayer for the Power of God’s Spirit in all His Servants.
Total Rest
What the Lord Jesus Christ Gives is NOT less labor but TOTAL REST.
Do you Know what Rest is?
It means a Ceasing from work.
You who are bound by sins and pressed with many burdens have no rest.
Then Know that the Lord Jesus Came to Give you Rest.
You need NOT do anything; He will Simply Give It to you.

But God will Work it Himself.
