The fruit of the Spirit is . . . self-control

A drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself.

Do we not realize that the basic condition for a spiritual walk is to fear our self and its wisdom and to rely absolutely upon the Spirit?

People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.

On at least four separate occasions and recorded in the four Gospels the Lord Jesus called His disciples to deny their soul life, deliver it to death, and then to follow Him.

We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.

Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
