Word of the Day

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words." I Corinthians 2:4 Paul was a scholar and an orator of the first rank; he is not speaking out of abject humility, but saying that he would veil the power of God if when he preached the gospel he impressed people with his "excellency of speech." Belief in Jesus is a miracle produced only by the efficacy of redemption, not by impressiveness of speech, not by wooing and winning, but by the sheer unaided power of God. The creative power of the redemption comes through the preaching of the Gospel, but never because pf the personality of the preacher. The real fasting of the preacher is not from food, but rather from eloquence, from impressiveness and exquisite diction, from everything that might hinder the gospel of God being presented. The preacher is there as the representative of God, "as though God did beseech you by us." He is there to present the Gospel of God. If it is only because of my preaching that people desire to be better, they will never get anywhere near Jesus Christ. Anything that flatters me in my preaching of the Gospel will end in making me a  traitor to Jesus. I prevent the creative power of His redemption from doing its work. "I, if I be lifted up....will draw all men unto Me."

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip?" John 14:9 Our Lord must be repeatedly astounded with us, astounded at how un-simple we are. It is opinions of our own which make us stupid; when we are simple we are never stupid, we discern all the time. Philip expected the revelation of a tremendous mystery, but not in the One Whom he knew. The mystery of God is not in what is going to be, it is now; we look for it presently, in some cataclysmic event. We have no reluctance in obeying Jesus, but it is probable that we are hurting Him by the questions we ask. "Lord, show us the Father." His answer comes back, "There He is, always here or nowhere." We look for God to manifest Himself to His children. God only manifests Himself in His children. Other people see the manifestation, the child of God does not. We want to be conscious of God; we can't be conscious of our consciousness and remain sane. If we are asking God to give us experiences, or if conscious experience is in the road, we hurt the Lord. The very questions we ask hurt Jesus because they are not the questions of a child.
     "Let not your heart be troubled". Then am I hurting Jesus by allowing my heart to be troubled? If I believe the character of Jesus, am I living up to my belief? Am I allowing anything to perturb my heart, any morbid questions to come in? I have to get to the implicit relationship that takes everything as it comes from Him. God never guides presently, but always now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the emancipation is immediate.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I pray everyone has a safe travel to and from their families homes today as we all celebrate this holiday season. Let us all be grateful for everything that the Lord has done for us. I know that we will enjoy the parade, some great food, and the football game today, but let us not forget our Lord who died for our sins, for our bodies to be healed and for salvation. He gave the ultimate sacrifice for us to live free and be able to enjoy this day with all of our loved ones.
      So I pray, fill us with your love Lord. Fill our hearts with joy. Thank you for all the many blessings that you have given us, they are countless. Place upon us the whole armor of God which is the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, give us the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and the shield of faith. Cover us all in your powerful blood. Place around us a hedge of protection, pillars of fire, to be under an open heavenly portal and the Holy Spirit presence to be upon us. Oh Lord, bless us indeed enlarge our territory and keep your hand upon us so that evil may not grieve us. I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and dispute, bind up and cut loose all enemy assignments and negativity, any words spoken decreed, declared against us out of the will of God and place them as your footstool, Lord, and fill that void with God's holy light. Oh Lord, that we may be granted with great favor, blessings, protection, healing, compassion, grace, love, joy, peace, mercy, justice righteousness, wisdom, knowledge, discernment, understanding, forgiveness, meekness, humbleness, strength, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, temperance, confidence, boldness, and new awakening of the Holy Spirit. Let us have great manifestations of your presence Holy Spirit. May we be in and remain in the covenant promises of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. All theses things be upon our family and us, the church, Israel, the prime minister of Israel, Jerusalem, and all God Jehovah's people.
     Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Moral Decision About Sin

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "Knowing this that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." Romans 6:6 Have I made this decision about sin, that it must be killed right out in me? It takes a long time to come to moral decision about sin, but it is the great moment on my life when I do decide that just as Jesus Christ died for the sin of the world, so sin must die out in me, not be curbed or suppressed or counteracted, but crucified. No one can bring anyone else to this decision. We may be earnestly convinced, and religiously convinced, but what we need to do is to come to the decision which Paul forces here.
     Haul yourself up, take time alone with God, make the moral decision and say, "Lord, identify me with Thy death until I know that sin is dead in me."  Make the moral decision that sin in you must be put to death.
     It wasn't a divine anticipation on the part of Paul, but a very radical and definite experience. Am I prepared to let the Spirit of God search me until I know what the disposition of sin is, the thing that lusts against the Spirit of God in me? Then if so, will I agree with God's verdict on that disposition of sin, that it should be identified with the death of Jesus? I can't reckon myself, "dead indeed unto sin" unless I have been through this radical issue of will before God.
     Have I entered into the glorious privilege of being crucified with Christ until all that is left is the life of Christ in my flesh and blood? "I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me."

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 If you become a necessity to a soul, you are out of God's order. As a worker, your great responsibility is to be a friend of the Bridegroom. When once you see a soul in sight of the claims of Jesus Christ, you know that your influence has been in the right direction, and instead of putting out a hand to prevent the throes, pray that they grow ten times stronger until there is no power on earth or in hell that can hold that soul away from Jesus Christ. Over and over again, we become amateur providences, we come in and prevent God: and say, "This and that must not be." Instead of proving friends of the Bridegroom, we put our sympathy in the way, and the soul will one day say, "That one was a thief, he stole my affections from Jesus, and I lost my vision of Him."
     Beware of rejoicing with a soul in the wrong thing, but see that you do rejoice in the right thing. "The friend of the Bridegroom...rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom's voice, this is my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease." This is spoken with joy and not with sadness, at last they are to see the Bridegroom. And John says this is his joy. It is the absolute effacement of the worker, he is never thought of again.
     Watch for all you are worth until you gear the Bridegroom's voice in the life of another. Never mind what havoc it brings, what upsets, what crumblings of health, rejoice with divine hilarity when once His voice is heard. You may often see Jesus Christ wreck a life before He saves it. (Matt 10:34)

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "Add to your brotherliness....love" II Peter 1:7 Love is indefinite to most of us, we don't know what we mean when we talk about love. Love is the sovereign preference of one person for another, and spiritually Jesus demands that that preference be for Himself. When the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ is easily first; then we must practice the working out of these things mentioned by Peter.
     The first thing God does is to knock pretense and the pious pose right out of me. The Holy Spirit reveals that God loved me not because I was lovable, but because it was His nature to do so. Now, He says to me, show the same love to others, "Love as I have loved you." "I will bring any number of people about you whom you can't respect, and you must exhibit My love to them as I have exhibited it to you." You can't reach it on tiptoe. Some have tried, but were soon tired.
     "The Lord suffereth long..." Let me look within and see His dealings with me. The knowledge that God has loved me to the uttermost will send me forth into the world to love in the same way. God's love to me is inexhaustible, and I must love others from the bedrock of God's love to me. Growth in grace stops the moment I get huffed because I have a peculiar person to love with. Just think how disagreeable  I have been to God! Am I prepared to be so identified with the Lord Jesus that His life and His sweetness are being poured out all the time? Neither natural love nor Divine love will remain unless it is cultivated. Love is spontaneous, but it has to be maintained by discipline.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "But when it pleased God..." Galatians 1:15 As workers for God we have to learn to make room for God, to give God elbow room. We calculate and estimate, and say this and that will happen, and we forget to make room for God to come in as He chooses. Would we be surprised if God came into our meeting or into our preaching in a way we had never looked for Him to come? Do not look for God to come in any particular way, but look for Him. That is the way to make room for Him. Expect Him to come, but do not expect Him only in a certain way. However much we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that at any minute He may break in. We are apt to overlook this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way. All of a sudden God meets the life, "When it was the good pleasure of God."
     Keep your life so constant in its contact with God that His surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as He likes.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Jesus did not commit Himself unto them...for He knew what was in man." John 2:24-25 Put God first in trust. Our Lord trusted no man; yet He was never suspicious, never bitter, never in despair, about any man, because He put God first in trust. He trusted absolutely in what God's grace could do for any man. If I put my trust in human beings first, I will end in despairing of everyone; I will become bitter, because I have insisted on man being what no man ever can be; absolutely right. Never trust anything but the grace of God in yourself or in anyone else.
     Put God's needs first. "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God" Hebrews 10:9. A man's obedience is to what he sees to be a need; Our Lord's obedience was to the will of His Father. The cry today is- "We must get some work to do; the heathen are dying without God; we must go and tell them of Him. " We have to see first of all that God's needs in us personally are being met. "Tarry ye until..." We must be rightly related to the needs of God. When God's needs in us have been met, the He will open the way for us to realize His needs elsewhere.
      Put God's trust first. "And whoso receiveth one such little child in my name receiveth Me" Matthew 18:5. God's trust is that He gives me Himself as a babe. God expects my personal life to be a "Bethlehem". Am I allowing my natural life to be slowly transfigured by the indwelling life of the Son of God? God's ultimate purpose is that His Son might be manifested in my mortal flesh.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today let's talk about bringing the blessing in. We as heirs to the throne of Christ Jesus, through the shedding of his blood, has made us to be in the covenant blessing that He gave to Abraham, Issac and Jacob. But you may say, how can that be? When Jesus came on this earth, he came to fulfill the law of love. He gave us the one commandment to love one another and to love our neighbor as our self. So we have the full blessing that was in fact handed down through Noah. It is the same blessing that God gave Adam. The blessing that your seed will be blessed. We need to tune into the Word and listen to the voice of the Lord and He will guide and direct your every step. But that is only if we stay in the law of love. If we waver from that, we allowing the devil to take a foothold in our lives. When you feel as if you have sinned and stepped out of the law of love, you must repent immediately. Get back into the right place with God and the blessing will begin to flow.
     Did you know that what you say matters to God? If you really want the blessing which may be financial, health, children, family, peace, or joy, then it should matter what we speak. Our words have power. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and that they love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  Proverbs 18:21 In other words, you can speak someone to death or to life, including yourself. If you are always saying, "Yes, this time of year, I always get sick," then that is what you will get. If you say," I have the blessing of the Lord and he protects me," then you will receive that. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17 Now you might say, that God is the one who did that, how can I do that? Since Jesus came to the earth, and fulfilled the law of love, we are joint heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven. We sit with Him on the throne. This means that we have the same power that Jesus had while He was on the earth, to call in the blessing and to speak things into existence through faith. Even Elijah, a man of God, before Jesus came, by faith prayed for the heavens to be shut up from rain and it was given unto him for three years.
     If we will pray by faith and stay in the law of love, we too can speak to that which is not as though it were. So if you are looking to advance your finances, improve your health, better your children, have peace and joy, stay in the Word and pray diligently with all faith not wavering and it will be done.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "I am crucified with Christ." Galatians 2:20 The imperative need spiritually is to sign the death warrant of the disposition of sin, to turn all emotional impressions and intellectual beliefs into a moral verdict against the disposition of sin, my claim to my right to myself. Paul says, " I have been crucified with Christ"; he doesn't say, " I have determined to imitate Jesus Christ," or "I will endeavor to follow Him", but " I have been identified with Him in His death." When I come to such a moral decision and act upon it, then all that Christ wrought for me on the cross is wrought in me. The free committal of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the chance to impart to me the holiness of Jesus Christ.
"Nevertheless I live." The individuality remains, but the mainspring, the ruling disposition, is radically altered. The same human body remains, but the old satanic right to myself is destroyed.
"And the life which I now live in the flesh," not the life which I long to live and pray to live, but the life I now live in my mortal flesh, the life which men can see, "I live by the faith of the Son of God." This faith is not Paul's faith in Jesus Christ, but the faith that the Son of God has imparted to him, "the faith of the Son of God." It is no longer faith in faith, but faith which over leaps all conscious bounds, the identical faith of the Son of God.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. "Let us go into Judaea... His disciples say unto Him...Goest Thou thither again?" John 11:7-8 I may not understand what Jesus Christ says, but it is a dangerous thing to say that therefore He was mistaken in what He said. It is never right to think that mo obedience to a word of God will bring dishonor to Jesus. The only thing that will bring dishonor is to not obey Him. To put my view of His honor in place of what He is plainly impelling me to do is never right, although it may arise from from a real desire to prevent Him being put to open shame. I know when the proposition comes from God because of its quiet persistence. When I have to weigh the pros and cons, and doubt and debate come in, I am bringing in an element that is not of God, and I come to the conclusion that the suggestion was not a right one. Many of us are loyal to our notions of Jesus, but how many of us are loyal to Him? Loyalty to Jesus means I have to step out where I do not see anything. Loyalty to my notions means that I clear the ground first by my intelligence. Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
     Are you debating whether to take a step in faith in Jesus or to wait until you can see how to do a thing yourself? Obey Him with glad reckless joy. When He says something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a conception of His honor which is not His honor. Are you loyal to Jesus or loyal to your notion of Him? Are you loyal to what He says, or are you trying to compromise with conceptions which never came from Him. "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it."

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Enter ye in at the straight gate...because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way..." Matthew 7:13-14 If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult, but the difficulty of it does not make us faint and cave in, it rouses up to overcome. Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus that we are our best for Him?
     God saves men by His sovereign grace through the Atonement of Jesus. He works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure; but we have to work out that salvation in practical living. If once we start on the basis of His Redemption to do what He commands, we find that we can do it. If we fail, it is because we have not practiced. The crisis will reveal whether we have been practicing or not. If we obey the Holy Spirit and practice in our physical life what God has put in us by His Spirit, then when the crisis comes, we will find that our own nature as well as the grace of God will stand by us.
      Thank God He does give us difficult things to do! His salvation is a glad thing, but it is also a heroic, holy thing. It tests us for all we are worth. Jesus is bringing many "sons" into glory, and God will not shield us from the requirements of a son. God's grace turns out men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to live the noble life of a disciple of Jesus in real things. It is always necessary to make an effort to be noble.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today let's talk about judging. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Matthew 7:1 Jesus says regarding judging- Don't. The average Christian is the most penetratingly critical individual. Criticism is a part of the ordinary faculty of man; but in the spiritual domain nothing is accomplished by criticism. The effect of criticism is dividing up the powers of the one criticism; The Holy Ghost is the only One in the true position to criticize, He alone is able to show what is wrong without hurting and wounding. It is impossible to enter into communion with God when you are in a critical temper; it makes you hard and vindictive and cruel, and leaves you with the flattering unction that you are a superior person. Jesus says, as a disciple cultivate the uncritical temper. It isn't done once and for all. Beware of anything that puts you in the superior person's place.
     There is no getting away from the penetration of Jesus. If I see the mote in your eye, it means I have a beam in my own. Every wrong thing that I see in you, God locates in me. Every time I judge, I condemn myself. Stop having a measuring rod for other people. There is always one fact more in every man's case about which we know nothing. The first thing God does is to give us a spiritual cleansing; there is no possibility of pride left in man after that. I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.

Thank you Jesus for all your blessings! Praise the Lord!

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." John 15:13 Jesus does not ask me to die for Him, but to lay down my life for Him. Peter said, "I will lay down my life for Thy sake," and he meant it. It would be a bad thing to be incapable of making such declaration as Peter made; the sense of our duty is only realized by our sense of heroic. Has the Lord ever asked you, "Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?" It's far easier to easier to die than to lay down the life day in and day out with the sense of the high calling. We are not made for brilliant moments, but we have to walk in the light of them in ordinary ways. There was only one brilliant moment in the life of Jesus, and that was on the Mount of Transfiguration; then He emptied Himself the second time of His glory, and came down into the demon possessed valley. For thirty three years Jesus laid out His life to do the will of His Father, and John says, "we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." It is contrary to human nature to do it.
      If I am a friend of Jesus, I have deliberately and carefully to lay down my life for Him. It is difficult, and thank God it is difficult. Salvation is easy because it cost God so much, but the manifestation of it in my life is difficult. God saves a man and endues him with the Holy Spirit, and then says in effect, "Now work it out, be loyal to Me, whilst the nature of things round about you would make you disloyal." "I have called you friends ." Stand loyal to your Friend, and remember that His honour is at stake in your bodily life.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today let's finish up our discussion about getting there. "Come ye after Me." Mark 1:17 Where the selective affinity dies and the sanctified abandon lives. One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of temperament and our natural affinities barriers to coming to Jesus. The first thing we realize when we come to Jesus is that He pays no attention whatsoever to our natural affinities. We have the notion that we can consecrate our gifts to God. You can't consecrate what is not yours; there is only one thing you can consecrate to God, and that is your right to yourself. If you will give your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you and His experiments always work. The one mark of a saint is the moral originality which springs from abandonment to Jesus Christ. In the life of a saint there is this amazing wellspring of original life all the time; the Spirit of God is a well of water springing up, perennially fresh. The saint realizes that it's God Who engineers circumstances, consequently there is no whine, but a reckless abandonment to Jesus. Never make a principle out of your experience; let God be as original with other people as He is with you.
     If you abandon to Jesus, and come when He says  "Come," He will continue to say "Come": through you; you will go out into life reproducing the echo of Christ's "Come." That is the result in every soul who has abandoned and come to Jesus.
     Have I come to Jesus? Will I come now?

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Master, where dwellest Thou?... Come and see...Follow Me." John 1:38-39, 43 Where the self interest sleeps and the real interest awakens. "They abode with Him that day." That is about all some of us ever do, then when we wake up to the real world, self interests arises and abiding is passed. There is no condition of life which we can't abide in Jesus.
     "Thou art Simon, thou shalt be called Cephas." God writes the new name on those places only in our lives where He has erased the pride and self-sufficiency and self interest. Some of us have the new name in spots only, like spiritual measles. In sections we look alright. When we have our best spiritual mood on, you would think we were very high toned saints; but don't look at us when we are not in that mood. The disciple is one who has the new name written all over him. Self interest and pride and self-sufficiency have been totally erased.
     Pride is the deification of self, and today, this is not in order of the Pharisee but of the publican. To say, "Oh I am no saint," is acceptable to human pride, but it's unconscious blasphemy to God. It literally means that you defy God to make you a saint. "I am too weak and hopeless." Humility before men may be unconscious blasphemy to God. Why aren't you a saint? It is either because you don't want to be a saint, or that you don't believe God can make you one. It would be alright if God would save you and take you straight to heaven. That's what He's doing! "We will come unto him, and make our abode with him." Make no conditions, let Jesus be everything, and He will take you home with Him, not only for a day but forever.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. Let's talk about readiness. "God called unto him...And he said, Here am I." Exodus 3:4 When God speaks, many of us are like men in a fog, we give no answer. Moses' reply revealed that he was somewhere. Readiness means a right relationship to God and a knowledge of where we are at in our present situation. We are so busy telling God where we would like to go. The man or woman who is ready for God and His work is the one who carries off the prize when the summons comes. We wait with the idea of some great opportunity, something sensational, and when it comes we are quick to cry, "Here am I." Whenever Jesus Christ is in the ascendant, we are there, but we are not ready for an obscure duty.
     Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference. We have no choice in what we want to do, whatever God's program may be we are there, ready. When any duty presents itself we hear God's voice as our Lord heard His Father's voice, and we are ready for it with all the alertness of our love for Him. Jesus Christ expects to do with us as His Father did with Him. He can put us where He likes, in pleasant duties or in mean duties, because the union is that of the Father and Himself. "That they may be one, even as We are one."
     Be ready for the sudden surprise visits of God. A ready person never needs to get ready. Think of the time we waste trying to get ready when God has called. The burning bush is a symbol of everything that surrounds the ready soul, it is ablaze with the presence of God.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem." Luke 18:31 Jerusalem stands in the life of our Lord as the place where He reached the climax of His Father's will. "I seek not Mine own will, but the will of my Father which hath sent Me." That was one of the dominating interest all through our Lord's life, and the things He met on the way, joy or sorrow, success or failure, never deterred Him from His purpose. "He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem."
     The great thing to remember is that we go up to Jerusalem to fulfill God's purpose, not our own. Naturally, our ambitions are our own; in the Christian life we have no aim of our own. There is so much said today about our decisions for Christ, our determination to be Christians, our decision for this and that, but in the New Testament it is the aspect of God's compelling that is brought out. "Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you."
     We are not taken up into conscious agreement with God's purpose, we are taken up into God's purpose without any consciousness at all. We have no conception of what God is aiming at, and as we go on it gets more and more vague. God's aim looks like missing the mark because we are too short-sighted to see what He is aiming at. At the beginning of the Christian life we have our own idea as to what God's purpose is, "I am meant to go here or there," "God has called me to do this special work"; and we go and do the thing, and still the big compelling of God remains. The work we do is of no account, it is so much scaffolding compared with the big compelling of God. "He took unto Him the twelve." He takes us all the time. There is more than we have got at as yet.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today let's talk about the next best thing to do. "Seek and ye shall find." Luke 11:9 Seek if you have not found. "Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss." If you ask for things from life instead from God, you ask amiss, you are asking from a desire for self-realization. The more you realize yourself, the less you will seek God. Get to work and narrow your interests to this one particular. Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you only given a sad cry to Him after a twinge of moral neuralgia? Seek, concentrate and you will find.
     "Ho, everyone that thirsts, come to the waters." Are you thirsty, or smugly indifferent? Are you so satisfied with your experience that you want nothing more of God?Experience is a gateway, not an end. Beware of building your faith on experience, the the note will come at once. You can never give another person that which you have found, but you can make him homesick for what you have.
     "Knock and it shall be opened to you." "Draw nigh to God." Knock, the door is closed, and you suffer from palpitation as you knock. "Cleanse your hands". Knock a bit louder, and you begin to find you're dirty. "Purify your heart." This is more personal still, you are desperately in earnest now, you will do anything. "Be afflicted." Have you ever been afflicted before God at the state of your inner life? There is no strand of self pity left, but a heart-breaking affliction of amazement to find that you are the kind of person that you are. "Humble yourself." It's an humbling business to knock at God's door, you have to knock with the crucified thief. But remember this, "To him that knocks, it will opened."

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. We all with open face beholding...the glory of the Lord. II Corinthians 3:18 A servant of God must stand so much alone that he never knows he is alone. In the first phases of Christian life discouragements may come, people who used to be lights flicker out, and those who used to stand with us pass away. We have to get used to it that we never know we are standing alone. "All men forsook me, notwithstanding the Lord stood with me." II Timothy 4:16-17 We must build our faith, not on the fading light, but on the light that never fails. When "big" men go we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go. The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.
      Allow nothing to keep you from looking God sternly in the face about yourself and about your doctrine, and every time you preach, see that you look God in the face about things first, then the glory will remain all the way through. A Christian worker is one who perpetually looks in the face of God and then goes forth to talk to people. The characteristic of the ministry of Christ is that of unconscious glory that abides. Moses didn't know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with God.
      We are never called on to parade our doubts or to express the hidden ecstasies of our life with God. The secret of the worker's life is that he keeps in tune with God all the time.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today we continue our teaching on being offered? "I am already being poured out as a drink offering." II Timothy 4:6 I am ready to be offered. It is a transaction of will, not of sentiment. Tell God you are ready to be offered; then let the consequences be what they may, there is no strand of complaint now, no matter what God chooses. God puts you through the crisis in private, no one person can help another. Externally the life may be the same; the difference is in the will. Go Go through the crisis in will, then when it comes externally there will be no thought of the cost. If you do not transact in will with God along this line, you will end up in awakening sympathy for yourself.
     "Bind the sacrifices with cords, even unto the horns of the altar." The altar means the fire, burning and purification and insulation for one purpose only, the destruction of every affinity that God has not started and of every attachment that is not in an attachment in God. You do not destroy it; God does; you bind the sacrifice to the horns of the altar; and see that you do not give way to self pity when the fire begins. After this fire, there is nothing that oppresses or depresses. When the crisis arises, you realize that things cannot touch you as they used to do. What is your way of fire?
     Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. Let's talk about being offered. "Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all." Philippians 2:17 Are you willing to be offered for the work of the faithful, to pour out your blood as a libation on the sacrifice of the faith of others? Or do you say, "I'm not going to be offered up just yet, I don't want God to choose my work. I want to choose the scenery of my own sacrifice; I want to have the right kind of people watching and saying, 'Well done.'"
   It's one thing to go on the lonely way with dignified heroism, but quite another thing if the line mapped out for you by God means being a doormat under other people's feet. Suppose God wants to teach you to say, "I know how to be abased." Are you ready to be offered up like that? Are you ready to not be so much as a drop in the bucket, to be so hopelessly insignificant that you are never thought of again in connection with the life you served? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? Some saints cannot do menial work and remain saints because it is beneath their dignity.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I hope. Today let's talk about the initiative against depression. "Arise and eat." I Kings 19:5 The angel did not give Elijah a vision or explain the Scriptures to him, or do anything remarkable; he told Elijah to do something ordinary, to arise and eat. If we were never depressed we shouldn't be alive; it's the nature of a crystal to never be depressed. A human is capable of being depressed, otherwise there would be no capacity for exaltation. There are things that are calculated to depress, things that are of the nature of death; and in taking an estimate of yourself, always take into account the capacity for depression.
      When the Spirit of God comes, He doesn't give us visions, He tells us to do the most ordinary thing possible. Depression is apt to turn us away from the ordinary commonplace things of God's creation, but whenever God comes, the inspiration is to do the most natural conceivable things, the things we would never have imagined God was in, and as we do them we find Him there. The inspiration which comes in this way is an initiative against depression. We have to do the next thing and do it in the inspiration of God. If we do a thing in order to overcome depression, we deepen the depression; but if the Spirit of God make us feel intuitively that we must do a thing, and we do it, immediately the depression is gone. we arise and obey, we enter on a higher plane of life.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Great I hope. Today, let's talk about our friendship with God. Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? Genesis 18:17 Do you have a real friendship with God or just occasional feelings of His presence in prayer? To be so much in contact with God that you never need to ask Him to show you His will, is to be getting close to the final stage of your discipline in the life of faith. When you are rightly related to the Lord, it's a life of freedom and liberty and delight, you are God's will, and all your common-sense decisions are His will for you unless He checks. You decide that things in perfect friendship with God, knowing that if your decisions are wrong, He will always check; and when He does make sure to stop what your are doing at once.
   Why did Abraham stop praying when he did? He wasn't intimate enough yet to go boldly on until God granted his desire, there was something yet to be desired in his relationship with God. Whenever we stop short in prayer and say, "Well, I don't know; perhaps it's not God's will," then you know for certain that there is another stage of faith to go.  We aren't so intimately acquainted with God as Jesus was, and as He wants us to be, "That they may be one even as we are one." Think of the last thing you prayed for or about, were you devoted to to your desire or to God? Determined to get some gift of the Spirit or to get at God? "Your heavenly Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him." The point of asking is that you may get to know God better. Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Keep praying in order to get a perfect understanding of God Himself.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Wonderful I pray. Let's talk about following Christ today. Peter said unto Him, "Lord, why cannot I follow You now?" John 13:37 There are times when you can't understand why you can't do what you want to do. This falls in line with patience. We must allow room for patience to have her perfect way. When God brings the blank space, don't try to fill it in, nut wait instead fervently on Him. That blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means. Never run before God's guidance. If there is the smallest doubt, then don't do it.
     In the beginning, you may be able to see clearly what God's will is, the severance of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, something you feel distinctly before God's will comes into play. But don't ever do it on impulse of that feeling. If you do, making it much more difficult in the long run, and then it will take years to undo and repair. Wait for God's time to bring it around and He will do it without any heartbreak or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move.
     Peter didn't wait for God; he forecast in his mind where the test would come, and the test cam from where he didn't expect it. Peter's ignorant statement, led him do deny the Lord three times before the cock crowed. The Lord knew of a deeper knowledge of Peter than Peter himself knew. He couldn't follow Jesus because not only did he not know himself, but also because he didn't know what he was capable. Natural devotion may be all very well to attract us to Jesus, to make us feel His fascination, but it will never make us disciples. Natural devotion will always deny Jesus some way or another. We must take care to wait on the Lord with patience fervently.

     Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Blessed I hope. Let's talk about the discernment of faith. Faith as a grain of a mustard seed... Matthew 17:20 We seem to have this idea that God rewards us for our faith. That might be so in the beginning stages, but we don't earn a thing by faith; faith only allows us and brings us to a right relationship with God and gives Him the opportunity to exercise your faith. God will often knock the bottom out from under your experience if you are a saint in order to get you into contact with Himself. God is eager for you to understand that this is a life of faith, not of sentimental enjoyment of all of His blessings. In your early years as a follower of Christ, your faith was narrow and intense, settled around a tiny sun-spot of experience that had as much of sense of faith in it; full of light and sweetness. Then God withdrew His conscious blessings in order to teach you to walk by faith. You are more worth to Him now than in your days of conscious delight and thrilling testimony.
     Faith in its nature must be tried, and the real trial of our faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our mind right away. Faith in its actual works has to go through spells of isolation. Don't ever confound the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, much that we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith in the Bible is faith in God against everything that contradicts Him. I will remain true to God's character whatever He may do. Though he slay me, though he may slice me, in this will I trust Him. This is the most sublime utterance of faith in the whole of the Bible.
