When We Have Communion With God In

When The Holy Spirit Sanctifies Believers, He Does A Complete Work In Them. He Puts Into Their Minds, Wills And Hearts A Gracious, Supernatural Principle Which Fills Them With A Holy Desire To Live To God. The Whole Life And Being Of Holiness Lies In This. This Is The New Creation.

All Other Ways Of Mortification Are Vain, All Helps Leave Us Helpless; It Must Be Done By The Spirit.

In Or Towards Whomsoever The Holy Spirit Puts Forth His Power, Or Acts His Grace For Their Regeneration, He Removes All Obstacles, Overcomes All Oppositions, And Infallibly Produces The Intended Effect.

Temptation Gains Power By Persistent Solicitations That Beget Thoughts That Make Evil Less Serious

Many There Are Who, Not Comprehending, Not Being Affected With, That Divine, Spiritual Description Of The Person Of Christ Which Is Given Us By The Holy Ghost In The Scripture, Do Feign Unto Themselves False Representations Of Him By Images And Pictures, So As To Excite Carnal And Corrupt Affections In Their Minds. By The Help Of Their Outward Senses, They Reflect On Their Imaginations The Shape Of A Human Body, Cast Into Postures And Circumstances Dolorous Or Triumphant; And So, By The Working Of Their Fancy, Raise A Commotion Of Mind In Themselves, Which They Suppose To Be Love Unto Christ.
