When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.

He can make the dry parched ground of my soul to become a pool and my thirsty barren heart as springs of water. Yes he can make this habitation of dragons this heart which is so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations to be a place of bounty and fruitfulness unto Himself

It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
