Prayer Is Not An Exercise, It Is

Our Lord Insists On The Social Aspect Of Our Lives: He Shows Very Distinctly That We Cannot Further Ourselves Alone.

Whenever The Conviction Of God's Spirit Comes There Is The Softening Of The Whole Nature To Obey; But If The Obedience Is Not Instant There Will Come A Metallic Hardening And A Corrupting Of The Guidance Of God.

God Never Forces A Person's Will Into Surrender, And He Never Begs. He Patiently Waits Until That Person Willingly Yields To Him. True Surrender Is A Matter Of Being 'united Together [with Jesus] In The Likeness Of His Death' (romans 6:5) Until Nothing Ever Appeals To You That Did Not Appeal To Him. And After You Surrender--then What? Your Entire Life Should Be Characterized By An Eagerness To Maintain Unbroken Fellowship And Oneness With God.

The Remarkable Thing About God Is That When You Fear God, You Fear Nothing Else, Whereas If You Do Not Fear God, You Fear Everything Else.

Our Circumstances Are The Means God Uses To Exhibit Just How Wonderfully Perfect And Extraordinarily Pure His Son Is.
