Waiting on God is the first and the best beginning for prayer. When we bow in the humble, silent acknowledgment of God's glory and nearness, ere we begin to pray there will be the very blessing that we often get only at…
Water always fills first the lowest places. The lower, the emptier a man lies before God, the speedier and the fuller will be the inflow of the divine glory.
Abiding by faith in Christ our sanctification is the simple secret of a holy life. The measure of sanctification will depend on the measure of abiding in Him; as the soul learns wholly to abide in Christ, the promise is…
Where God enters to rest, there He sanctifies.
Holiness is not something we do or attain: it is the communication of the Divine life, the inbreathing of the Divine nature, the power of the Divine Presence resting on us.
But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work, we shall see that there is nothing that we so need to study and practise as the art of praying arig…
Abiding in Jesus is nothing but the giving up of oneself to be ruled and taught and led, and so resting in the arms of Everlasting Love.
It needs but one step for a man to get out of the carnal life into the spiritual life.
We must not only think of our waiting upon God, but also of what is more wonderful still, of God's waiting upon us.
In praying we are often occupied with ourselves, with our own needs, and our own efforts in the presentation of them. In waiting upon God, the first thought is of the God upon whom we wait.
Cease from expecting the least good from yourself, or the least help from anything there is in man, and just yield yourself unreservedly to God to work in you: He will do all for you.
Men do not believe that when God says, “Be filled with the Spirit,” He means it for every Christian.
Fellowship with God, apart from any request, is more than supplication.
In heaven and earth, pride, self-exaltation, is the gate and the birth, and the curse, of hell.
The believer can each day be pleasing to God only in that which he does through the power of Christ dwelling in him. The daily inflowing of the life-sap of the Holy Spirit is his only power to bring forth fruit. He lives…
When God has begun the work of absolute surrender in you, and when God has accepted your surrender, then God holds Himself bound to care for it and to keep it.
Say: “My God, I am willing that Thou shouldst make me willing.”
Humility is the very essence of holiness as of blessedness. It is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God. Where God is all, self is nothing.
See you to the abiding; He will see to the fruit, for He will give it in you and through you.
A machine can do work: only life can bear fruit. A law can compel work: only love can spontaneously bring forth fruit.
Your religious life is every day to be a proof that God works impossibilities; your religious life is to be a series of impossibilities made possible and actual by God's almighty power.
It needs time to grow into Jesus the Vine: do not expect to abide in Him unless you will give Him that time.
That chosen word was: "Abide in me."
Power with God is the highest attainment of the life of full abiding.
The great lack of the Christian life is that, even where we trust Christ, we leave God out of the count.
Do not be thinking of how little you have to bring God, but of how much He wants to give you.
God does not ask you to give the perfect surrender in your strength, or by the power of your will; God is willing to work it in you.
And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.
Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is, from the very nature of things, the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue.
Fall down and learn that when you are utterly helpless, God will come to work in you not only to will, but also to do.
The condition of God's blessing is absolute surrender of all into His hands.
