  • SIGNS OF THE NEW BIRTH

    My Utmost For His Highest Ye must be born again. John 3:7. The answer to the question “How can a man be born when he is old?” is—When he is old enough to die—to die right out to his ‘rag rights,’ to his virtues, to his religion, to everything, and to receive into himself the…

  • CHASTENING

    My Utmost For His Highest Despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. Hebrews 12:5. It is very easy to quench the Spirit; we do it by despising the chastening of the Lord, by fainting when we are rebuked by Him. If we have only a shallow experience…

  • QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT

    My Utmost For His Highest Quench not the spirit. 1 Thess. 5:19. The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it. The checks of the Spirit come in the most extraordinarily gentle ways, and if you are…

  • THE THEOLOGY OF REST

    My Utmost For His Highest Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Matthew 8:26. When we are in fear we can do nothing less than pray to God, but Our Lord has a right to expect that those who name His Name should have an understanding confidence in Him. God expects His children…

  • THIS EXPERIENCE MUST COME

    My Utmost For His Highest And he saw him no more. 2 Kings 2:12. It is not wrong to depend upon Elijah as long as God gives him to you, but remember the time will come when he will have to go; when he stands no more to you as your guide and leader, because…

  • THE SACRAMENT OF THE SAINT

    Let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well-doing. 1 Peter 4:19. To choose to suffer means that there is something wrong; to choose God’s will even if it means suffering is a very different thing. No healthy saint ever chooses suffering; he chooses…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HEARING

    My Utmost For His Highest Father, I thank Thee that thou hast heard Me. John 11:41. When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God is formed in me the Father will…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HONOR

    My Utmost For His Highest That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35. If the Son of God is born into my mortal flesh, is His holy innocence and simplicity and oneness with the Father getting a chance to manifest itself in me? What was…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HOUSE

    My Utmost For His Highest Wist ye not that I must be in My Father’s house? Luke 2:49 (R.V.). Our Lord’s childhood was not immature manhood: our Lord’s childhood is an eternal fact. Am I a holy innocent child of God by identification with my Lord and Saviour? Do I look upon life as being…

  • THE CROSS IN PRAYER

    My Utmost For His Highest At that day ye shall ask in My name. John 16:26. We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us—a complete and…
