The Good Lord Send Out A Spirit

Temptation Is Like A Knife, That May Either Cut The Meat Or The Throat Of A Man; It May Be His Food Or His Poison, His Exercise Or His Destruction

All Things I Thought I Knew; But Now Confess The More I Know, I Know, I Know The Less.

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.

Sin Aims Always At The Utmost; Every Time It Rises Up To Tempt Or Entice, If It Has Its Own Way It Will Go Out To The Utmost Sin In That Kind. Every Unclean Thought Or Glance Would Be Adultery If It Could, Every Thought Of Unbelief Would Be Atheism If Allowed To Develop. Every Rise Of Lust, If It Has Its Way Reaches The Height Of Villainy; It Is Like The Grave That Is Never Satisfied. The Deceitfulness Of Sin Is Seen In That It Is Modest In Its First Proposals But When It Prevails It Hardens Men’s Hearts, And Brings Them To Ruin.

God Hath Work To Do In This World; And To Desert It Because Of Its Difficulties And Entanglements, Is To Cast Off His Authority. It Is Not Enough That We Be Just, That We Be Righteous, And Walk With God In Holiness; But We Must Also Serve Our Generation, As David Did Before He Fell Asleep. God Hath A Work To Do; And Not To Help Him Is To Oppose Him.
