spiritual cutting past
If you yourself do not cut the lines that tie you to the dock, God will have to use a storm to sever them and to send you out to sea. You have to get out past the harbor into the great dephts of God, and begin to know things for yourself....beg in to have spiritual discernment. Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been.

Obey Him with glad reckless joy.
spiritual heart men
When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

The disciple is rich not in possessions, but in personal identity.

Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it.
jesus lying son
The honour of Jesus Christ is at stake in your bodily life. Are you remaining loyal to the Son of God in the things which beset His life in you? Do you continue to go with Jesus? The way lies through Gethsemane, through the city gate, outside the camp; the way lies alone, and the way lies until there is no trace of a footstep left, only the voice, 'Follow Me.'
spiritual discipline culture
We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the culture of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail.

Never be hurried out of the relationship of abiding in Him.
