Initiated
The reason for this inward sense is not that what we do outwardly is necessarily wrong but because the thing we do is not Initiated From God – that is to say, it is not the Outcome of the Working of the Holy Spirit in us.
Authority
Authority, according to the Bible, is characterized by a unique nature: there is no authority except from God.
He who resists authority resists God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
There is no possibility of rebellion without judgment.
The consequence of resisting authority is death.
Man has no choice in the matter of authority.
Wear Out
This principle of Satan’s working in the lives of God’s Children is to wear them out until they are worn down completely.
He will wear you out a little today and then a little more the next day.
He will make you suffer a small amount now and a little more later.
You may think this to be something insignificant, nevertheless Satan knows that the consequence of such wearing away is to wear the Saint out completely.
Body
It is futile to seek to produce individual Saints.
Praise the Lord that individual sinners are Saved, but this is that they may Become Members of Christ’s Body.
God is never satisficed with single, separate Christians.
The Divine Goal is One Man, and NOT a host of small men.
The Cross and Resurrection Point us Forward to the Body.
Life
To Have Life in Himself is the Prerogative of God Alone, and of the Son, to whom the Father Hath Also Given It.
To Seek Life, not in itself, but in God, is the Highest Honor of the creature.
To live in and to himself is the folly and guilt of sinful man.
To Live to God in Christ, the Blessedness of the Believer.
To deny, to hate, to forsake, to lose his own life, such is the Secret of the Life of Faith.
I Live, yet NOT I, but Christ Liveth in me.
NOT I, but the Grace of God which is with me.
Give up his own life, and to Receive INSTEAD the Blessed Life of Christ within us.
True Trust
True Trust is based on one factor, which is Christ Himself.
We have Absolute Privilege to Draw Near to God because Christ Himself is that Privilege which we have.
This is God’s Provision.
In Christ’s Name we may come to the Father at any time anywhere.
In the Name of Christ alone.
Trust
A Spirit of Trust is Most Essential to Prayer and to the Total Christian Life.
If our Relationship with the Lord continually fluctuates – with out having neither Assurance nor Confidence – our entire life will be fatally wounded.
