Dependence

November 20, 2013

It is a source of deep sorrow to me, that, notwithstanding my having so many times before referred to this point, thereby to encourage believers in the Lord Jesus, to roll all their cares upon God, and to trust in Him at all times, it is yet, by so many, put down to mere natural causes, that I am helped; as if the Living God were no more the Living God, and as if in former ages answers to prayer might have been expected, but that in the nineteenth century they must not be looked for.

God created the world out of nothing, and as long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

It’s when we come to those agonizing “crying-out-in-desperation-for-a-breakthrough” moments that God is pressing us into the very place we need to be to receive His breakthrough. The place of brokenness. Because the truth is, we aren’t our own solution – HE IS!

An earthbound, earth-satisfied spirit cannot pray. In such a heart, the flame of spiritual desire is either gone out or smoldering in faintest glow. The wings of its faith are clipped, its eyes are filmed, its tongue silenced. But they, who in unswerving faith and unceasing prayer, wait continually upon the Lord, do renew their strength, do mount up with wings as eagles, do run, and are not weary, do walk, and not faint.

Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.

Denying ourselves and taking up our cross isn’t a little side issue — it is absolutely necessary to becoming or continuing to become a disciple of Jesus.
