LUKE 22.61-62
And the LORD, having turned, looked on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the LORD, how He said to him, “Before a rooster will crow, you may disown Me three times”; and Peter having gone outside, wept bitterly.

2 CORINTHIANS 6.2
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.”

LUKE 24.31
and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him,

MARK 14.36
and He said, “Abba, Father; all things are possible to You; make this cup pass from Me; but not what I will, but what You [will].”

MATTHEW 25.14
For—as a man going abroad called his own servants, and delivered to them his substance,
To Obey is Always Better
Deceive himself.
The deceitful heart can argue its way out of the Challenge of Full Obedience.
Yielding to his own judgment as to what was good or bad, rather than Subjecting to God’s Expressed Verdict.
Then offering to make a sacrifice to God.
God is NOT to be bought off in that kind of way.
There is NO easy alternative to Obedience to His Expressed Word.
To Obey is Always Better!
So No Real Peace
More than half the life still ruled by self-will and its hosts.
AND SO no real peace within and no power over the enemies.
To Fulfill His Needs
A Serious Error
Concerning Prayer
Prevails in our common understanding,
Which is to say,
That we often think of Prayer
As an outlet for expressing what we need
As our Cry To God for Help.
We do not see that Prayer
Is the Asking of God to Fulfill His Needs.
Repeated Consecrations and Dealings
With Repeated Consecrations and Dealings,
The Believer’s Love Grows More and More Perfect
Till one day we are found to be Minding Only the Things in Heaven and NOT the things on earth.
Deliverance
What are we to do with that self-life which is all unclean, our very nature?
What are we to do with that flesh that is entirely under the power of sin?
Deliverance from that is what we need.
He knew it not!
