The Lord Uses His Flail Of Tribulation

The Reason Why The Christians In This Day Are At Such A Loss As To Some Things Is That They Are Contented With What Comes From Man's Mouth, Without Searching And Kneeling Before God To Know Of Him The Truth Of Things.

Now, I Saw, Upon A Time, When He Was Walking In The Fields, That He Was, As He Was Wont, Reading In His Book, And Greatly Distressed In His Mind; And, As He Read, He Burst Out, As He Had Done Before, Crying, What Shall I Do To Be Saved?

Christ Is The Desire Of Nations, The Joy Of Angels, The Delight Of The Father. What Solace Then Must That Soul Be Filled With, That Has The Possession Of Him To All Eternity!

Sincerity Is The Same In A Corner Alone, As It Is Before The Face Of The World. It Knows Not How To Wear Two Vizards, One For An Appearance Before Men, And Another For A Short Snatch In A Corner; But It Must Have God, And Be With Him In The Duty Of Prayer. It Is Not Lip-labour That It Doth Regard, For It Is The Heart That God Looks At, And That Which Sincerity Looks At, And That Which Prayer Comes From, If It Be That Prayer Which Is Accompanied With Sincerity.

Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul
