Every Time We Say We Believe In

When We Realize A Constant Enemy Of The Soul Abides Within Us, What Diligence And Watchfulness We Should Have! How Woeful Is The Sloth And Negligence Then Of So Many Who Live Blind And Asleep To This Reality Of Sin. There Is An Exceeding Efficacy Nad Power In The Indwelling Sin Of Believers, For It Constantly Inclines Itself Towards Evil. We Need To Be Awake, Then, If Our Hearts Would Know The Ways Of God. Our Enemy Is Not Only Upon Us, As It Was With Samson, But It Is Also In Us.

He Works In Us And With Us, Not Against Us Or Without Us; So That His Assistance Is An Encouragement To The Facilitating Of The Work, And No Occasion Of Neglect As To The Work Itself.

Consider That It Is Not Failing In This Or That Attempt To Come To Christ, But A Giving-over Of Your Endeavors, That Will Be Your Ruin.

If Private Revelations Agree With Scripture, They Are Needless, And If They Disagree, They Are False.

On Christ’s Glory I Would Fix All My Thoughts And Desires, And The More I See Of The Glory Of Christ, The More The Painted Beauties Of This World Will Wither In My Eyes And I Will Be More And More Crucified To This World. It Will Become To Me Like Something Dead And Putrid, Impossible For Me To Enjoy.
