Then there is someone manifesting an iron will, a strong personality whose volitional powers seem unlimited. Yet in the things of God he seems unable to make up his mind ; how often the strongest will waver in his decisions before God. Why is this? Before we answer let us consider another who is full […]

Zac 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. We realize, then, just as our physical strength is limited, so it is with the soul strength of our outward

Romans 8:1-4 Our human strength is limited. If a brother can only carry fifty kilograms, and you want him to take an additional ten, he simply could not do it. He is a limited person, unable to do unlimited work. The fifty kilograms he is already carrying is a distraction for now. As the physical

2 Cor. 4: 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. So the Treasure is in the earthen vessel, but if the earthen vessel is not broken, who can see the Treasure within? What is the final objective of the

Genesis 32:24-32 The Holy Spirit has not ceased working. One event after another, one thing after another, comes to us. Each disciplinary working of the Holy Spirit has but one purpose: to break our selfish tendencies so that our inward spirit man may come through. Yet here is our difficulty: we fret over trifles, we

Genesis 32:24-32 Each one of us has much of the same Jacob nature in us. Our only hope is that the Lord may blaze a way out, destroying the outward man to such a degree that the inward man may come out and be seen. This is precious, and this is the way of those
