Let No Fear Hinder

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (Psalms 37:4)

Let no fear hinder. For he that wavers shall not receive. Keep your heart single and rebuke every alien thought in my name, for those thoughts are of the enemy. For he knows full well that he has no defense against pure faith. Only if he can succeed to plant some seed of doubt can he hold back the blessing of heaven among the people of God and nullify the witness that the blessing can bring to the lost. So hold fast your profession of faith, for there is a great reward for those remain faithful.

Peace in The Midst of the Storm

I don’t know if you remember this old song of the church or not, (I can’t even remember who wrote it) but it came to my mind today. I thought I would share it!

When the world that I’ve been living in collapses at my feet.
When my life is shattered and torn.
Though I’m windswept and battered, I can cling to His cross.
And find peace in the midst of the storm.

There is peace in the midst of my storm-tossed life.
Oh, there’s an anchor, there’s a rock to cast my faith upon.
Jesus rides in my vessel, so I’ll fear no alarm.
He gives me peace in the midst of my storm.

When in twenty-four short hours, years of living are brought to moments.
And when life’s final picture is taking form.
In the dark room of my suff’ring there’s a light comes shining through.
He gives me peace in the midst of my storm!

Saturate Thy Soul in the Oil of the Holy Spirit

Through My people shall the eternal glory of the Father be manifested unto the nations. For the everlasting power of the Godhead is incarnate in My chosen ones. Is it not written that the kingdom of God dwelleth within in you? In the day that ye make Me Lord in thy life and give to Me the scepter and allow Me to reign within: then will I begin to move, and my power shall radiate forth from thine entire being. Then I will bring to pass miracles–when ye walk in uprightness and with mercy toward thine acquaintances, and even toward thine enemies.

Do not imagine for a moment that I can do any mighty works in the atmosphere of hostility and evil and rebellion. Come unto Me with a cleansed heart and a right spirit: in sincerity, in honesty. If ye desire Me to work in the midst, do not be devious in they ways nor indirect in thy dealings with others. (II Cor. 4:2). It is the pure in heart who see God. It is those who seek after a holy walk and who set their heart toward holy living who inherit the promises and who come into My holy hill.

Know that in heaven nothing entereth that can taint nor mar. The beauty of the living God dwelleth there. Where there is holiness, there is omnipotence. Where there is the activity of the Almighty, there are forces of Life continually working to produce within thee a measure of life and health and strength which are in Him.

Why will ye tolerate any idea of discouragement? Nothing can ever be accomplished for good in this frame of mind. Sin bringeth forth death; and negative current flowing within thy body shall produce a steady regression.

I will prepare within thee a different attitude of mind. Thoughts that have been in confusion, I will reorganize. I will not bring to bear upon thee pressures that will cause thee to be weak. I will be to thee the strength which ye need. I will be to thee the inner fortification which will bear thee up even in the time of strain and crisis.

Saturate Thy Soul in the Oil of the Holy Spirit, and keep the channel of communication open to the Heavenly Father. His desire is toward thee, and He will be thy strong habitation.

Come Away My Beloved, Frances J. Roberts

Rock of Ages

I have not forsaken thee, nor am I far away. Nay, my child, but I am as a Great Rock and ye have been, as it were, looking at the shadow. For I have purposed to be a shelter from sun and storm. But ye have focused your attention on the darkness of the shadow rather than casting yourself upon me, the Rock. I am not a rock of stone–but I am a rock of refuge–a powerful protection, a mighty help, a never failing savior. My love is a river with constant supply. Plenteous grace with me is found: Grace to pardon all thy sin!

Dialogues With God, Frances J. Roberts

 

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Cleanse from guilt and make me pure.

–Toplady

One Ambition

 

Here is the reading from my devotional book for today. It spoke very deeply to my spirit. Enjoy!

 

Come. Come Often.

            Come Seeking. Come needing.

Wait not until you may bring me a gift.

            Come because ye love me.

Come knowing that I have loved thee first,

            Even while ye were yet in trespasses and sins.

            Come asking no questions.

            Come speaking no words.

Come because I love you. Come because I desire thy fellowship

                        More than thou canst know.

            Ye seek to serve me

            And fret because of thy limited service.

No…no…no.

Can ye never learn the lesson I sought to teach Martha?

Can ye never be content to sit as Mary?

            Better thy feet were cut off

            Than that they carry thee outside the circle of communion.

Ye consider the usefulness of thy life.

            Thou shouldest have but one ambition—

            To love me and to be near me.

            Let me take care of all the rest.

Let me direct thy service,

            And it shall be not a service of dead works and self-effort,

            But an overflow of divine love.

This is my Father’s work.

            I do not require and have not requested thy work.

            Nay, but ye become a hindrance

                        When ye set about to work for me thus.

Set thy heart to be near me. Live close to My heart.

Look, upon My face.

          I will satisfy thee completely.

I will keep thee from anxiety.

I will heal all thy diseases.

I will cause My face to shine upon thee,

And thou shalt be glad.
