In the land they conquered every enemy; from
Jericho onward, they went from victory to victory. And so God waits, and
Christ waits, and the Holy Spirit waits, to give victory every day; not
freedom from temptation; no, not that; but in union with Christ a power
that can say, "I can do all things through Him that strengtheneth me." "We
are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." May God help every
heart to say that.
Then comes the second step. I want you to say not only, "I believe there is
such a life," but, second, "I have not had it yet." Say that. "I have never
yet got that." Some may say, "I have sought it;" some may say, "I have
never heard about it;" some may say, "At times I thought I had found it,
but I lost it again." Let every one be honest with God.
And now, will all who have never yet found it honestly, begin to say,
"Lord, up to this time I have never had it?" And why is it of such
consequence to speak thus? Because, dear friends, some people want to glide
into this life of rest gradually; and just quietly to steal in; and God
won't have it.
