When We Have Communion With God In

Sin Also Carries On Its War By Entangling The Affections And Drawing Them Into An Alliance Against The Mind. Grace May Be Enthroned In The Mind, But If Sin Controls The Affections, It Has Seized A Fort From Which It Will Continually Assault The Soul. Hence, As We Shall See, Mortification Is Chiefly Directed To Take Place Upon The Affections.

The Custom Of Sinning Takes Away The Sense Of It, The Course Of The World Takes Away The Shame Of It.

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.

See In The Meantime That Your Faith Brings Forth Obedience, And God In Due Time Will Cause It To Bring Forth Peace.

As Rivers, The Nearer They Come To The Ocean Whither They Tend, The More They Increase Their Waters, And Speed Their Streams; So Will Grace Flow More Fully And Freely In Its Near Approaches To The Ocean Of Glory.
