Beside Each Believer Stands An Angel As

When A Sunbeam Falls On A Transparent Substance, The Substance Itself Becomes Brilliant, And Radiates Light From Itself. So Too Spirit Bearing Souls, Illumined By Him, Finally Become Spiritual Themselves, And Their Grace Is Sent Forth To Others. From This Comes Knowledge Of The Future, Understanding Of Mysteries, Apprehension Of Hidden Things, Distribution Of Wonderful Gifts, Heavenly Citizenship, A Place In The Choir Of Angels, Endless Joy In The Presence Of God, Becoming Like God, And, The Highest Of All Desires, Becoming God.

Whatever Requires An Undue Amount Of Thought Or Trouble Or Involves A Large Expenditure Of Effort And Causes Our Whole Life To Revolve, As It Were, Around Solicitude For The Flesh Must Be Avoided By Christians.

Therefore, Let God Inspired Scripture Decide Between Us; And On Whichever Side Be Found Doctrines In Harmony With The Word Of God, In Favor Of That Side Will Be Cast The Vote Of Truth

Extirpate Two Thoughts Within Thyself: Do Not Consider Thyself Worthy Of Anything Great, And Do Not Think That Any Other Man Is Much Lower Than Thou In Worthiness. Learn Humble Mindedness Beforehand, Which The Lord Commanded In Word And Showed Forth In Deed. Hence, Do Not Expect Obedience From Others, But Be Ready For Obedience Thyself.

If, Therefore, There Is Any Grace In The Water, It Is Not From The Nature Of Water But From The Spirit's Presence There.
