Prayer as Warfare (continued)

T. Austin-SparksReading: 1 Kings 18:30-32, 36-38, 42-45. James 5:17-18. Ephesians 6:18. We note that what is true of the enemy's activity along the line of prevention of prayer is also true along the line of interruption of prayer. I do not only mean that while you are praying you have interruptions, but he has a s... Read More

The Cause And Ground Of Blindness

T. Austin-SparksBut if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away: how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory? For if the m... Read More

The Church's Vocation

T. Austin-Sparks"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil...

T.

The Continuous Controversy and Conflict

T. Austin-SparksIt is a matter of very simple evidence and observation that the first three chapters of the Bible have not been passed before all the elements of conflict and controversy are met with. And from then onward, right through the Bible, those elements of conflict and controversy are rarely absent. The Bo... Read More

The Cross and the Deliverance of the Mind

T. Austin-SparksThere are few, if any, more malignant causes of spiritual paralysis than a mind unrenewed or unguarded. We learn by bitter experience that the main objective of the adversary as the most important means to his ends is the mind. Nine-tenths of the trouble with both the individual child of God and the...

The Cross And The Satanic Kingdom

T. Austin-SparksFollowing closely upon what we said at the end of our last chapter, we come to the place and meaning of the Cross in the realm of principalities and powers, world rulers of this darkness, and hosts of evil spirits in the heavenlies (Eph. 6:12). Again, we must bear in mind that it is in and by the Ch... Read More
