The Test Of The Life Of A

What Hinders Me From Hearing Is That I Am Taken Up With Other Things. It Is Not That I Will Not Hear God, But I Am Not Devoted In The Right Place. I Am Devoted To Things, To Service, To Convictions, And God May Say What He Likes But I Do Not Hear Him.

To Be 'in The Will Of God' Is Not A Matter Of Intellectual Discernment, But A State Of Heart.

Spiritual Lust--'i Must Have It At Once'--causes Me To Demand An Answer From God, Instead Of Seeking God Himself Who Gives The Answer. Is Today 'the Third Day' And He Has Still Not Done What I Expected? Whenever We Insist That God Should Give Us An Answer To Prayer We Are Off Track. The Purpose Of Prayer Is That We Get A Hold Of God, Not Of The Answer.

Every Element Of Our Own Self-reliance Must Be Put To Death By The Power Of God.

We Are So Busy Telling God Where We Would Like To Go. We Wait With The Idea Of Some Great Opportunity, Something Sensational, And When It Comes We Are Quick To Cry, 'here Am I.' Readiness For God Means That We Are Ready To Do The Tiniest Little Thing Or The Great Big Thing, It Makes No Difference.
