Deeper Life #70

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

—John 14:26

THERE IS A CRAZE THESE days to hear something new from the Lord; but what we need to hear are those things we have heard all along, but have not listened to. The reason many people do not understand the leadings of God is their ignorance of His revealed Word.

We can be led through the guidance of the Bible. This is why we must preach and teach the Word by the passion of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Your success consists in being completely loyal to God. If you are loyal, then God is responsible for the fruitage. Whether the results be gladness (as with the 3,000 converts when Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost) or madness (such as Stephen faced when he was stoned and martyred), one is equally as successful in God’s sight as the other.

God have mercy on the soul who dares to stand for Jesus Christ and teach any other gospel, any other obedience, than the way of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Prayer Thought: Lord, I am completely open to Your marvelous way and will.
