All studies of the Kingdom of Heaven must begin with the King Himself. No kingdom is greater than its king, nor more wise or powerful than the one who is best qualified to rule it. The Bible tells us about this King, the greatest Ruler of all, the King of all Kings. If we study it carefully what doe... Read More

We are indebted to Charles G. Finney for the phrase, "A praying heart." He said: "I am convinced that nothing in the whole Christian religion is so rarely attained as a praying heart." This heart is "the heart in the spirit" (Romans 2:29). It is in our human spirit, and is that part of us which can ... Read More

Spend much time alone in contemplating what He has done for you, and what He is, as the “Chiefest among ten thousand” and the “altogether lovely .” Stir the inner fire by means of memory, and let hope pile on it the fuel of promise till it begins to blaze. Cultivate the habit of speaking aloud to Hi... Read More

The Spirit of God makes intercession through us “with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Rom. 8:26). George D.

In order to qualify for this exalted position the members of the Bridehood must be as nearly like the Son as it is possible for the finite to... Read More

Love is ambitious. God is love. Therefore God is ambitious for us. In the best sense of the word He is ambitious for our lives. The old impression has been that salvation is for the soul, and for heaven. Well, it is for the soul and for heaven, but it is for the present life and for this earth as we... Read More

The Father loves you—it is at this point that multitudes of believers fail God. They are willing to be convicted of sin and failure, over and over again. But they will not allow the Holy Ghost to flood them with the love of the Father. The legalist loves to live under conviction. He has never unders... Read More

Jesus called the Holy Spirit “the Comforter.” “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, KJV, my italics). It is one thing to know the Holy Spiri... Read More
