Prayer
God Desires to Have a Glorious Church.
Prayer is to Prepare for Christ a Glorious Church that is Conformed to Him.
Mix
God is never willing to mix His Own Work in with the work of man’s flesh.
What God Requires of the Believer is to Cease from all that is of his own self, including his idea and strength.
Be still and completely resting from one’s self.
This is the First Step in the Work of Faith.
Deny
If one does not Deny himself, Take Up the Cross and Closely Follow the Lord but instead does things according to the desires of his soul in order to satisfy it, there will come a time when he shall lose his soul even though he may have gained the entire world.
Though he may gain many pleasures by following his own desires, eventually, says the Lord, he will have to pay back through losing all pleasures of his soul.
To lose the soul now is far better than to lose it at the end.
Deny Self
Christ Said Deny self!
God is longing to double His Blessing, to Give Tenfold Blessing Through us.
But there is something hindering Him, and that something is the self life.

JAMES 1.2-8
Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations, knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance, and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given to him; but let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed; for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways

MARK 11.25
And whenever you may stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you your trespasses;
=====
2 COR 1.20-22
for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us; and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God, who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.

ISAIAH 49.4
And I said, “I labored in vain, || I consumed my power for emptiness and vanity, || But my judgment [is] with YHWH, || And my wage with my God.”

MATTHEW 21.13
and He says to them, “It has been written: My house will be called a house of prayer;
HEB 3.6
but Christ, as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.
Prosper
It is when the individual workers are Blessed that the Work will Prosper and that the Body will be in Health and Strength.
Follow The Lord
Only one who has had Enteral Life is able to Deny himself, Take Up the Cross, and Follow the Lord.
For a sinner who has not yet Possessed Eternal Life, what he needs to do is not to try to Follow the Lord but to Believe in the Lord.
Prayer
Prayer is a kind of Travail in Spiritual Birth, which is an Entering Into Fellowship with the Sufferings of Christ, with the Heart of the Father, and with the Groanings of the Holy Spirit – until the Day of Glory.
