TRUE VICTORY

TRUE VICTORY

Please don’t look to me,
I will probably let you down;
Don’t lean on my strength
It will only make you frown.

Please don’t depend on me,
I’ll most likely disappoint;
Don’t place your bets on Jeff,
But I will help you locate joy.

Please look unto Jesus,
He came to lift you up;
You can count on God’s Son,
To fill your heart with perfect love.

Please depend on Christ the Lord,
You’ll *never ever* be ashamed;
Give everything you are to Jesus,
True victory is in His Name!

MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
_____________________

HAVE YOU COME TO “WHEN” YET?

And the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed
for his friends.

Job 42:10

The plaintive, self-centred, morbid kind of prayer, a dead-set that
I want to be right, is never found in the New Testament. The fact
that I am trying to be right with God is a sign that I am rebelling
against the Atonement. “Lord, I will purify my heart if You will
answer my prayer; I will walk rightly if You will help me.”  I can-
not make myself right with God, I cannot make my life perfect; I
can only be right with God if I accept the Atonement of the Lord
Jesus Christ as an absolute gift. Am I humble enough to accept
it?  I have to resign every kind of claim and cease from every
effort, and leave myself entirely alone in His hands, and then
begin to pour out in the priestly work of intercession. There is
much prayer that arises from real disbelief in the Atonement.
Jesus is not beginning to save us, He has saved us, the thing is
done, and it is an insult to ask Him to do it.

If you are not getting the hundredfold more, not getting insight
into God’s word, then start praying for your friends, enter into
the ministry of the interior. “The Lord turned the captivity of
Job when he prayed for his friends.” The real business of your
life as a saved soul is intercessory prayer. Wherever God puts
you in circumstances, pray immediately, pray that His
Atonement may be realized in other lives as it has been in yours.
Pray for your friends now; pray for those with whom you come
in contact now.
