ISAIAH 53.4-6
Surely He has borne our sicknesses,
And our pains—He has carried them,
And we have esteemed Him [as] plagued, struck of God, and afflicted.
And He is pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities,
The discipline of our peace [is] on Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us, like sheep, have wandered,
Man has turned to his own way,
And YHWH has laid on Him the punishment of us all.
Many are the things which God Wills to Do and would Like to Do, but His Hands are bound because His Children do not Sympathize with Him and have not Prayed so as to Prepare Ways for Him.
The Capacity for Receiving is only Kept Up and Enlarged by Continual Giving Up and Giving Out.
All who have Passed Out of Death Into Life Love One Another.
All who have Become Members of the Same Spiritual Body Love One Another.
Such Love Comes From Life and It Flows Spontaneously.
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.

PHILIPPIANS 3.8-9
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him, not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,

1 JOHN 3.14
we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
In the denial of His Will and Complete Surrender to the Will of the Father, Christ’s Obedience Reached Its Highest Perfection.
We make the mistake of fixing our eyes on the event INSTEAD OF Seeing the Lord Who Brought It About.
As a results, trying ourselves to reproduce the situation, we suffer only defeat.
Trusting in the Lord Himself and following a formula are two totally different things.
Neither formula nor method works, BUT ONLY the Living Christ.
The reason for many unanswered prayers and feeble Christian lives is found in the lack of This Personal Touch with the Lord.
Go to Him Who is the Only Source of Vital Experience!
