The Lord Uses His Flail Of Tribulation

It Is The Opener Of The Heart Of God, And A Means By Which The Soul, Though Empty, Is Filled.

The Heart, When Broken, Is Like Sweet Gums And Spices When Beaten; For As Such Cast Their Fragrant Scent Into The Nostrils Of Men, So The Heart, When Broken, Casts Its Sweet Smell Into The Nostrils Of God.

…just As Christian Came Up To The Cross, His Burden Loosed From Off His Shoulders, Fell From Off His Back, And Began To Tumble Down The Hill, And So It Continued To Do Till It Came To The Mouth Of The Sepulchre. There It Fell In, And I Saw It No More!

To Lay Hold Of And Receive The Gospel By A True And Saving Faith Is An Act Of The Soul That Has Been Made A New Creature, Which Is The Workmanship Of God... Wherefore Whoever Receiveth The Grace That Is Tendered In The Gospel, They Must Be Quickened By The Power Of God, Their Eyes Must Be Opened, Their Understandings Illuminated, Their Ears Unstopped, Their Hearts Circumcised, Their Wills Also Rectified, And The Son Of God Revealed In Them.

The More He Cast Away, The More He Had.
