Read the Bible
Should we not read the Bible?
Of course we should or our Spiritual Life will suffer.
But that should NOT mean forcing ourselves to read.
There is a New Law in us which Gives us a Hunger for God’s Word.
NOT a cold heart.
Christ Himself
It is Christ Himself, the Living, Loving Lord, who ALONE can Keep you, and is Waiting to Do So.
Begin at once and Act Faith in Him for the Present Moment: this is the ONLY WAY to be Kept the Next.
Father, I am in Christ; I Now Abide in Him.
At This Present Moment
Believer! when striving to find the Way to Abide in Christ from moment to moment, remember that the Gateway is: Abide in Him at this Present Moment.
Unchildlike Distance
Only our unchildlike distance from the Father hinders the Answer to our Prayers.
Love of the Father
Lord, we Know so little of the Love of the Father.
Although this is one of the First, Simplest, and Most Glorious Lessons in Your School, it is one of the hardest for us to learn.
Teach us to Live With the Father that His Love will be Nearer, Clearer and Dearer to us than the love any any earthly father.
And let the Assurance of His Hearing our Prayer be that Much Greater than the confidence we have in an earthly parent.

REVELATION 1.1-2
A revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave to Him to show to His servants what things must quickly come to pass; and He signified [it], having sent through His messenger to His servant John, who testified [to] the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he also saw.
=====
for He says, “In an acceptable time I heard you, and in a day of salvation I helped you, behold, now [is] a well-accepted time; behold, now, a day of salvation.”
=====
MATTHEW 7.9-11
Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask [for] a loaf—a stone will he present to him? And if he may ask [for] a fish—a serpent will he present to him? If, therefore, you being evil, have known to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him?
=====
JOHN 8.28-29
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak; and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
Led By The Spirit
The Spiritual Man is a man who has NOT reached Final Perfection; there is Abundant Room for Growth.
But if you look at him, the Chief Mark of his nature and conduct is that he is a man Given Up to the Spirit of God.
He is NOT Perfect, but he is a man who has Taken the Right Position and said,
Lord God, I Have Given myself To Be Led By Thy Spirit. Thou has Accepted me and Blessed me, and the Holy Spirit Now Leads me.
Already Defeated
No Christian is able to fight to win.
We Fight BECAUSE we have Won!
The Lord Jesus has ALREADY Defeated Satan.
Satan has TOTALLY lost his ground.
Satan’s battle today is to recover, our is to Retain.
We do not fight in order to occupy; we Protect what we have ALREADY Occupied.
Our aim is NOT to wrestle Victory from Satan BUT RATHER to Keep Victory from being robbed.
