Prayer is the greatest power God has put into our hands for service — praying is harder than doing, at least I find it so, but the dynamic lies that way to advance the Kingdom.

Am I willing to trade my addiction to the world’s entertainment for more time with my Bible?
“Blessed is the man . . . whose delight is the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1.1-2)

Listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity, and bluster make a man dear to God. . . . To a people caught in the tempest of the last great conflict God says, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46.10), and still He says it, as if He means to tell us that our strength and safety lie not in noise but in silence.

The peace the Saviour gives is not an artificial one. It is so deep that even the devil can’t disturb it. You can’t hear things in the spirit, while you have any turmoil or fear in you. You can’t take a shade of fear into the presence of God.

No one whose senses have been exercised to know good and evil but must grieve over the sight of zealous souls seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit while they are yet living in a state of moral carelessness or borderline sin. Such a things is a moral contradiction. Whoever would be filled and indwell by the Spirit should first judge his life for any hidden iniquities; he should courageously expel from his heart everything which is out of accord with the character of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures.
