61.) God Accepts Your Surrender
      God works it in the secret of our heart, God urges us by the hidden power of His Holy Spirit to come and speak it out, and we have to bring and to yield to Him that absolute surrender. But remember, when you come and bring God that absolute surrender, it may, as far as your feelings or your consciousness go, be a thing of great imperfection, and yo ...read more

62.) God Accomplishes Your Surrender
      I am sure there is many a heart that says: 'Ah, but that absolute surrender implies so much!' Someone says: 'Oh, I have passed through so much trial and suffering, and there is so much of the self-life still remaining, and I dare not face the entire giving of it up, because I know it will cause so much trouble and agony.' Alas! alas! that God's ...read more

63.) God Blesses When You Surrender
      This absolute surrender to God will wonderfully bless. What Ahab said to his enemy, King Ben-hadad - 'My lord, O king, according to thy word I am thine, and all that I have' - shall we not say to our God and loving Father? If we do say it, God's blessing will come upon us. God wants us to be separate from the world; we are called to come out fro ...read more

64.) God Expects Your Surrender
      You know in daily life what absolute surrender is. You know that everything has to be given up to its special, definite object and service. I have a pen in my pocket, and that pen is absolutely surrendered to the one work of writing. That pen must be absolutely surrendered to my hand if I am to write properly with it. If another holds it partly, I ...read more

65.) God Himself has united you to Him.-1 Cor.1:30
      "OF GOD ARE YE IN CHRIST JESUS, who was made unto us wisdom from God, both righteousness and sanctification, and redemption."-I COR.1:30 (R.V. marg.). "My Father is the husbandman. "-JOHN 15:1 Ye are in Christ Jesus." The believers at Corinth were still feeble and carnal, only babes in Christ. And yet Paul wants them, at the outset of his tea ...read more

66.) God Himself will stablish you in Him.-2 Cor.1:21
      "He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, is God."-2 COR.1:21 THESE words of Paul teach us a much needed and most blessed truth-that just as our first being united with Christ was the work of divine omnipotence, so we may look to the Father, too, for being kept and being fixed more firmly in Him. "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth m ...read more

67.) God Is Love
      God has no selfishness, God keeps nothing to Himself. God's nature is to be always giving. In the sun and the moon and the stars, in every flower you see it, in every bird in the air, in every fish, in the sea . God communicates life to His creatures. And the angels around His throne, the seraphim and cherumbim (sic) who are flames of fire - whence ...read more

68.) God Maintains Your Surrender
      That is the great difficulty with many. People say: 'I have often been stirred at a meeting, or at a convention, and I have consecrated myself to God, but it has passed away. I know it may last for a week or for a month, but away it fades, and after a time it is all gone.' But listen! It is because you do not believe what I am now going to tell ...read more

71.) Grieving the Spirit
      "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption" Ephesians 4:30. It is by the Holy Spirit that the child of God is sealed, separated, stamped, and marked as the possession of God. This sealing is not a dead or external action that is finished once and for all. It is a living process, which has power in the so ...read more

72.) Growth
      "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground, and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring forth and grow up, he knoweth not how. The earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, after that the ear, then the full corn in the ear" Mark 4:26-28. "The Head, from which all the body increas ...read more

73.) Having Begun In The Spirit
      The words from which I wish to address you, you will find in the epistle to the Galatians, the third chapter, the second and third verses: "This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish?" And then comes my text-"Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by ...read more

74.) He Died For Everyone
      He died for sin, bearing its curse, and suffering death as God's righteous judgment on account of it. His death opened up the way to God for us. It did for us what we cannot and need not do; it wrought out a finished salvation, which we have but to accept and repose upon. According to the other aspect, He died to sin. His death was a proof of His ...read more

      "After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number . . . which stood before the throne, and before the Lamb. . . and they cried with a loud voice saying, g Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.' These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them whi ...read more

76.) Hints-for the Inner Chamber; Time
      At the conference, a brother who had earnestly confessed his neglect of prayer, but who was able, later, to declare that his eyes had been opened to see that the Lord really supplied grace for all that he required from us, asked if some hints could not be given as to the best way of spending time profitably in the inner chamber. There was no opport ...read more

79.) HOW DOES GOD BRING US IN?
      By leading us in a very definite act, viz., that of committing ourselves wholly to Him;-entrusting ourselves to Him, that He may bring us into the land of rest, and keep us in. You remember that the Jordan at the time of harvest overflowed its banks. The hundreds of thousands of Israel were on the side of the river from Canaan. They were told t ...read more
