Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Psalm 119:40

SATISFACTION IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD

Heshall be satisfied (Isaiah 53:11).

B eloved, we may be so endued by the Spirit of the Lord in the morning that it is a tonic for the whole day. Think of it! God can so thrill us with new life that nothing ordinary or small will satisfy us after that. There is a great place for us in God where we wont be satisfied with small things. We wont have any satisfaction unless the fire falls, and whenever we pray we will have the assurance that what we have prayed for is going to follow the moment we open our mouth.

Oh, this praying in the Spirit! This great plan of God for us! In a moment we can go right in. In where? Into His will. Then all things will be well.

We should always be awake to what God has for us. Awake to take! Awake to hold it after we get it! How much can you take? We know that God is more willing to give than we are to receive. How shall we dare to be asleep when the Spirit commands us to take everything on the table? It is the greatest banquet that ever was and ever will bethe table where all you take only leaves more behind. This fullness cannot be exhausted! How many are prepared for a lot? Come into the Spirit, to the banquet table, and be filled to satisfaction!

SAFEGUARDED BY THE WORD OF GOD

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee (Psalm 119:11).

T he Word of God must have first place. It must not have a second place. In any measure that we doubt the Word of God, from that moment we have ceased to thrive spiritually and actively. The Word of God is not only to be looked at and read, but also received as the Word of God so it becomes life right within our life.

By the grace of God I want to impart the Word and bring you into a place where you will dare to act upon the plan of the Word, where you will breathe life by the power of the Word so that it is impossible for you to go on under any circumstances without His provision. The most difficult things that come to us are to our advantage. When we come to the place of impossibilities, it is the grandest place for us to see the possibilities of God.

Put this right in your mind and never forget it. You will never be of any importance to God till you venture into the impossible. God wants people to be daring. I do not mean foolish daring. Be filled with the Spirit, and when we are filled with the Spirit, we are not so much concerned about secondary things. God is concerned with first things first. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God (Matt. 6:33).

All things evil, unclean, and satanic in any way are objectionable things to God, and we are to live above them, to destroy them, to not allow them to have any place. Jesus didnt let the devil answer back. We must reach the place where we will not allow anything to interfere with the plan of God.

LIFE THROUGH THE WORD

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee (Psalm 119:11).

N one of you can be strong in God unless you are diligently and constantly hearkening to what God has to say to you through His Word. You cannot know the power and the nature of God unless you partake of His inbreathed Word. Read it at morn and at night and at every opportunity you get. After every meal, instead of indulging in unprofitable conversation round the table, read a chapter from the Word and then have a season of prayer. I endeavor to make a point of doing this no matter where or with whom I am staying.

The Psalmist said that he had hid Gods Word in his heart, that he might not sin against Him; and you will find that the more of Gods Word you hide in your heart, the easier it is to live a holy life. He also testified that Gods Word had quickened him; and, as you receive Gods Word into your being, your whole physical being will be quickened and you will be made strong. As you receive with meekness the Word, you will find faith springing up from within. And you will have life through the Word.

The Word of God must have first place. It must not have a second place. We must be rooted in the Word of God. In any measure that we doubt the Word of God, from that moment we have ceased to thrive spiritually and actively. The Word of God is not only to be looked at and read but received as the Word of God to become life right within our life. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee (Ps. 119:11).
