“The love of the Saviour was revealed to me, You can’t explain what a revelation is. I saw that the Saviour and Father, before I should suffer, would rather suffer for me. No natural love is in the same world as His love. It was not merely that the Saviour helped me outside Himself; no, He took my place. I saw every other love so rough in comparison. Self was the motive of it. But I could see that love enduring through the countless ages of eternity. When you receive the Saviour, you receive the love of God. That love flooded my being, and it has flooded my being ever since. I saw that by His coming in to me, He would love sinners through me, as He loved me. It would not be forcing myself to love others, any more than the Saviour forced Himself to love me. No person could be an enemy to me, because I had been an enemy to Him before I was reconciled. If I live in the realm where He is, I live to have mercy, and to be kind, to love others. Could the love of God in me do harm to anyone? I had left the world and its folly, and been born into that Kingdom where there is only the love of God — the most attractive life on the face of the earth.”
“Praying in faith comes from an abiding faith in the Person prayed to–the confidence is in Him. It is based on a knowledge of who He is, and on a trusted conviction that He is worthy to be trusted. Praying in faith is the act of a simple-hearted child of God”–Corrie Ten Boom.
“Missionaries don’t go because life would be better with Christ. They go because there is no life without Him”–Tom Elliff.

Who’s in Charge and of what is a question all should ask.
“What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and ye are not your own…?”, but…what? Your body and you spirit belong to Whom? What was that “reasonable service?”
😉 Thanks. I pray not just for revival. I also pray for the message not to get lost again as it has over and over and over again since it was first delivered. Not my stuff, but my responsibility in Him, for Him.
