The Master's Indwelling

You have been fighting with the temper, and you have not been fighting with the root of the temper.

This spiritual life prepared for me is the free gift of my God in Christ Jesus.

Every time you please yourself, you deny Jesus.

Self turned to God is the glory of allowing the Creator to reveal Himself in us. Self turned away from God is the very darkness and fire of hell.

There are two lives, the self-life and the Christ-life; I must choose one of the two.

He brought us out, that He might bring us in.

Oh, take that little word ‘me,’ and looking up in the very face of God dare to say: ‘This inestimable treasure—it is for me.

God has brought you out in conversion; it was God’s own life given you: but you defiled it with disobedience and unbelief. Give it all up.

I have the life of God’s Son within me given me by God Himself, and it can only be maintained by God Himself as I live in fellowship with Him.

By His death, He proved that He possessed life only to hold it and to spend it for God... To live a life of perfect trust, there must be the perfect surrender of life and will, even unto the very death.

The fullness of the Holy Ghost is this: Jesus Christ in His humility coming to dwell in us.

There are many who have accepted Christ as their Lord, but have never yet come to the final, absolute surrender of everything.

Reckon yourselves dead unto sin and alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

I am a crucified man, I am utterly helpless, every breath of life and strength must come from my Jesus.

You have not seen that it is all because you are in the carnal state, and not properly given up to the Spirit of God.

If Christ is to make me what I am to be, I must tarry in fellowship with God.

Not I, but Christ liveth in me.

Be still before God, and wait, and say: "Oh, God, take possession."

You must become the possessor of the field.

The grace of God is very free. And yet, on the other hand, Jesus said that every man who wants the pearl of great price must sacrifice his all.

If one wants to live a life of perfect trust, there must be the perfect surrender of his life, and his will, even unto the very death.

Oh! let us live every day rooted in the death of Jesus. Be not afraid, but say: “To my own will I will die; to human wisdom, and human strength, and to the world I will die.”

The Holy Spirit is just the love of God come to dwell in the heart.

Go thy way; thy son liveth.

Love is rest, and rest is love, and where there is no love the rest must be disturbed.

There is no place of rest like the grave; a man can do nothing there... My flesh shall rest in hope.

If we love Christ above everything, we must love humility above everything, for humility is the very essence of His life and glory.

The joy of the Holy Ghost is the joy of always loving, it is the joy of losing my own life in love to others.

Faith struggling, faith resting, faith triumphing.

We know not what to pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

If God is to let His love enter in and shine and burn through my heart, I must take time to be with Him.

Beloved friend, you do not know what you could do if you would give yourself up to intercession.

Trouble of any sort that comes to me is God’s will for me.

Is it not a sad thing to see a believer who has been converted five, ten, twenty years, and yet no growth, and no strength, and no joy of holiness?

Christ is around us on every side; Christ is pressing on us to enter, and there is nothing in heaven, or earth, or hell, that can keep the light of Christ from shining into the heart that is empty and open.

Reckon ye yourselves indeed to be dead unto sin and alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
