Let us no longer by our human reasoning limit and weaken such Free and Sure Promises of the Living God, robbing them of Their Power and ourselves of the Wonderful Confidence They are Meant to Inspire.
Let us Open our Whole Heart to God’s Words of Promise in all Their Simplicity and Truth.
They Will Search us and Humble us.
They will Lift us Up and Make us Glad and Strong.
Not in God,
Not in His Secret Will,
Not in the limitations of His Promises,
BUT in us is the hindrance.
God’s Sovereign Choices of Whom He May Use reflects NO credit on us at all.
It is He Whom we Uplift Who is to Be Praised.
The Shouts of Hosanna are NEVER for us, nor are the Palm Branches, though we should discover them beneath our feet.
And as for us fools who would say, I am better than you – one day we shall wake up to the Truth and be utterly ashamed of ourselves.
He does NOT think so much of Prayer – as we, alas! too exclusively do – as a means of getting blessing for ourselves,
But as one of the Chief Channels of Influence by which, through us as Fellow-Workers with God, the Blessings of Christ’s Redemption are to be Dispensed to the world.
Let us NOT allow our Prayer to jump about like a grasshopper: hopping to another matter before the first one is Thoroughly Prayed Through.
The Word of God Shows me the Will of God for me.
The Holy Spirit Reveals the Will of God in me.
The Body, by putting That Will into the Larger Perspective of the Divine Purpose, Shows me How It is to Affect my Relationships as a Member.
I must Know the Mind of God, not only by the Word of God to me, nor yet alone by the Spirit of God in me, but together with both ot these, by taking also my place among God’s People in His House.
Why is it that the Fruit of the Spirit is Love?
BECAUSE God is Love!
It is the Very Nature and Being of God to Delight in Communicating Himself.
God has no selfishness;
God keeps NOTHING to Himself.
God’s Nature is ALWAYS Giving.
Believe God’s Word!
If God Says So! then that is enough! and nothing else matters!
How Have You No Faith?
The wind might blow harder and the waves might rise higher, yet NOTHING could hinder them from reaching the other shore BECAUSE the Lord Had Said Otherwise.
