Oh, Lord, you have indeed been gracious to me.

Many confuse understanding with believing.

The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.

The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.

In order for the inner man to be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit, the children of God must discharge their responsibility. They need to yield specifically to the Lord, forsake every doubtful aspect in their life, be willing to obey fully God's will, and believe through prayer that He will flood their spirit with His power.

Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.

Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart; man cannot.
