At great cost to Himself, God has made it possible for each of us to live with Him eternally. Those who reject God’s offer of a heavenly home will be assigned to hell.
Genius scorns the power of gold: it is wrong. Gold is the war-scythe on its chariot, which mows down the millions of its foes, and gives free passage to the sun-coursers with which it leaves those heavenly fields of light for the gross battlefields of earth.
It is necessary to store power to be free. Right now you are in the gravity field of many different people in your life. Each person you feel attached to is a planetary body…perhaps a heavenly body!
That cross inmate of your household, who has hitherto made life a burden to you, and who has been the Juggernaut car to crush your soul into the dust, may henceforth be a glorious chariot to carry you to the heights of heavenly patience and long-suffering.
It isn’t about singing a particular hymn or reciting a prayer – it’s about a relationship with your Heavenly Father who loves and cares for you.
Prayer is the soul’s breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father.
Let your first ‘good morning’ be to your Heavenly Father.
The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have meat and drink in the Kingdom!
Faith receives, day by day, what a loving Heavenly Father apportions.
