Taught By God
The Secret of Spiritual Advance is Openness to be Taught By God.
Unteachableness is a barrier to progress.
Destroy Satan
Some people may wonder why the Lord does not destroy Satan in a moment’s time.
The Lord could, but He has not done so.
Any why?
Because He wants man to cooperate with Him in dealing with Satan.
Now God has His Will, Satan has his, and man has his too.
God seeks to have man’s will joined with His.
He will not destroy Satan all by himself.
Reaction
Our Reaction? The Transcendent Thing!
The more a Child of God is Persecuted and Pressed and Frustrated, the Higher He Climbs.
How pitiful if you fall the moment you are squeezed.
It is really regretful to lose your temper, to argue, or even to endure.
The time when you are severely pressed against the wall is the time for you to Rise Up.
We Like His Ways
To not be offended in Me! is not to be offended by what the Lord Does or Does Not Do.
Are we Pleased with the Way of the Lord with us?
This is not just a matter of Knowing and Doing God’s Will, but a matter of whether or not we Like His Ways.
Christ Our Life
Christ Our Life!
Christ Before us as our Example.
Christ For us as our Propitiation.
Christ With us as our Savior from sin.
Christ In us as our Strength and our Life.

This, then, I say, and I testify in the LORD: you are no longer to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Absolute Surrender
If Absolute Surrender is to be Maintained and Lived Out, it Must Be By Having Christ Coming Into our life in New Power.
It is ONLY in Christ that we can Draw Nigh to God, and it is ONLY in Christ that God can Draw Night to us.
We need to have Christ Our Life!
What we need is that what we Ask God To Do in others should be Fully Done in ourselves.
We want to Let God Reveal Christ To Take Entire Possession of us; then Christ will be able to Work Through us Above what we ask or think.
