Temptation Is Like A Knife, That May

The Person Who Understands The Evil In His Own Heart Is The Only Person Who Is Useful, Fruitful, And Solid In His Beliefs And Obedience. Others Only Delude Themselves And Thus Upset Families, Churches, And All Other Relationships. In Their Self-pride And Judgment Of Others, They Show Great Inconsistency.

If We Do Not Abide In Prayer, We Will Abide In Temptation. Let This Be One Aspect Of Our Daily Intercession: "god, Preserve My Soul, And Keep My Heart And All Its Ways So That I Will Not Be Entangled." When This Is True In Our Lives, A Passing Temptation Will Not Overcome Us. We Will Remain Free While Others Lie In Bondage.

If Our Principal Treasure Be As We Profess, In Things Spiritual And Heavenly, And Woe Unto Us If It Be Not So! On Them Will Our Affections, And Consequently Our Desires And Thoughts, Be Principally Fixed.

We Speak Much Of God, Can Talk Of Him, His Ways, His Works, His Counsels, All The Day Long; The Truth Is, We Know Very Little Of Him.

I Will Not Judge A Person To Be Spiritually Dead Whom I Have Judged Formerly To Have Had Spiritual Life, Though I See Him At Present In A Swoon (faint)as To All Evidences Of The Spiritual Life. And The Reason Why I Will Not Judge Him So Is This -- Because If You Judge A Person Dead, You Neglect Him, You Leave Him; But If You Judge Him In A Swoon,(faint) Though Never So Dangerous, You Use All Means For The Retrieving Of His Life.
